Part 5.

The sun continued gleaming on the church as Roxy, Amy and Glenda stood in the shade.

"So what exactly did she say?", Glenda asked.

"Something about Ronnie cancelling the wedding", Roxy replied while Amy swung from side to side.

"What?", Jack exclaimed.

"Oh god", Roxy muttered.

"Don't use God's name like that in a church", Glenda stated.

"Why would she cancel?", Jack asked worryingly.

"I'm bored", Amy muttered but everyone ignored her.

"I don't know Jack", Roxy replied. "But you should be inside. She be here any minute."

"But you said she cancelled", Jack said remaining nervous.

"She did, but she changed her mind", Roxy replied.

"It will just be last minute nerves son", Glenda spoke bringing Jack's attention to herself.

"And who are you?", Jack asked.

"She's my mum. And Ronnie's. Danielle surprised us", Roxy replied. Before another word could be spoken a large black car emerged through the church gates. "Now get inside", Roxy added pushing Jack into the church. Jack slowly made his way down the aisle, feeling everyone's gaze on him and hearing people muttering 'What do you thinks going on? ... I bet she's saw sense and left before she commits? ... I love weddings!"

Jack approached the front of the church standing next to his brother and nephew. "What's going on?", Max asked.

"I really don't know", Jack replied but before he could finish his sentence the small white piano and violin at the front of church begun. Everyone's eyes reverted to the back of the church as they stood up. Jack's heart flipped as Ronnie emerged at the top of the church in her white silky dress. Ronnie slowly made her way down the church aisle smiling at people as she passed them. Jack smiled with glee as she reached the archway and took a place next to him after placing a soft kiss on each of her bridesmaid cheeks.

"You look gorgeous", Jack whispered as the Vicar told everyone to take a seat.

"You don't look to bad yourself", Ronnie replied happily.

The Vicar opened his arms indicting for Ronnie and Jack to take a step forward, inches away from one another. As the musical instruments stopped, the Vicar begun to speak to those fortunate enough to be part of this beautiful day, "We are gathered to unite the two of you in marriage..."

"Why did you cancel?", Jack whispered.

"Ask your daughter", Ronnie replied prompting Jack to star at Penny, who smiled back at him.

"Penny would never do anything. Don't go blaming her", Jack stated. His voice rising after each word he spoke.

"Not now Jack", Ronnie said calmly.

"Nothing like a good wedding", Jack and Ronnie heard from those seated diverting their eyes to the audience.

Jack's mouth opened but Ronnie stopped him from speaking by spinning him round to face the front once again.

"Are we ready to proceed?", the Vicar asked looking down at the bride and groom.

"Jack. It's up to you", Ronnie stated.

Jack took Ronnie's hands forgetting about everyone else in the room. "I have waited for this moment since the day I met you."

"Then we shall proceed", the Vicar said interrupting Jack. "The exchange of vows is a special memorable moment displaying true love and dedication to one another. Jack if you will repeat after me."

"We have our own", Jack spoke. "We told you last week."

"The bride and groom will now exchange their own vows", the Vicar corrected himself before taking a step back.

"I've never been so nervous", Jack muttered making those near the front of the church giggle.

Jack took one of Ronnie's hands, and looked deep into her azure eyes. "I tried to write something down but couldn't find the right words. Then I saw you walking down the aisle, for a moment I didn't think this was going to happen today, but I realised you could never walk away, not just from me but from Charlie. The moment I saw you running in your tight leggings I knew I had to do everything in my power to get to know you, to be with you, to have you. We all know it hasn't been easy, but we have put everything aside. So I shall take this moment to say that I love Veronica Mitchell, I never want to lose you, and no-one will come in our way. As long as were together were complete. You are my soul mate, the piece that has been missing all my life. If only I found you early."

Ronnie carefully whipped her small tears away from her eyes, doing everything in her power to ensure that she stayed clear from having black eyes. "I don't know how I'm going to follow that", Ronnie smiled nervously as everyone laughed happily. "Jack Branning, it never was going to be easy. Who would have thought a Branning and Mitchell would end up happily ever happen. That is why you and I are special, one of a kind. I was never going to let anyone tell me any different, I just knew you were the one. You were my first love and you will be my last love. You're everything. I love you with all my heart. I can't wait to grow old with you."

As Ronnie finished Jack raised her hand and kissed it softly before miming the words 'I love you.'

"Do you, Jack, take Veronica to be your wife, to love, comfort, and cherish from this day forth?"

"I do"

"Do you, Veronica, take Jack to you husband, to love, comfort, and cherish from this day forth?"

"I do"

"Can we have the rings please", the Vicar asked prompting Max to hand over the rings to Charlie. Charlie nervously walked forward and held out his hands holding out the rings allowing the Vicar to take those gold rings from his hands.

"Good boy", Jack spoke as he and Ronnie smiled, watching their young son.

"Jack please repeat after me", the Vicar said as he handed Jack one ring. "I give you this ring..."

"I give you this ring...", Jack repeated taking Ronnie's left hand.

"...in token and pledge as a symbol of all that we share...", Jack repeated after the Vicar placing the ring on Ronnie's finger as he spoke the last words. "...with my constant faith and abiding love."

Ronnie stared at her finger before the Vicar handed Jack's ring over to her. "I give you this ring in token and pledge..." Ronnie said holding Jack's hand, placing the ring on his finger while continuing, "...as a symbol of all that we share with my constant faith and abiding love."

"Having thus pledged yourselves each to the other, I do now, by the virtue of authority vested in me, pronounce you husband and wife", the Vicar spoke happily as Ronnie and Jack stood hand in hand, eye to eye, heart to heart. "You may kiss the bride."

As those words were spoke Jack gently placed his hand on Ronnie's check before bringing his lips forward to meet hers. As they kissed tenderly Amy and Charlie covered their eyes, while everyone else looked on with smiles on their faces.
