Chapter 7

"Looks Like Somebody's Getting Hitched!"

"Makeup?"

"No."

"Heels?"

"No."

"Wine?"

"Hell no."

"Jamie is this going to be even somewhat traditional?" Jenn demanded. "What are you talking about! It's not like I'm going down the aisle in a tee and jeans!" Jamie argued. "I don't suppose you're wearing sneakers down are you?" Jenn asked. "Hey, their white aren't they?" Jamie countered. "Jamie! If you're not going cooperate at all-"

"Hey, you know I can't hold my liquor! I can hardly stand in heels and makeup brings back memories of...the 'Pink Era'..." Jamie shuttered. "Yeah, that was one bad week. The fact that it was your 'time of the month' and the whole Zak/Wadi screw up didn't help either."

"That was biggest hellhole since freshman year!" The sisters burst out laughing until somebody knocked on the door. "Ha, ha...Who is it?" Jamie said. "Only the best family member since 1987!" came a very southern voice. "Codie! Don't come in here, nobody's supposed to see her before the wedding!" Jenn said, leaning on the closed door. "Oh really? Looks like somebody's getting hitched!"

"Codie!"

"Alright, alright, I'll just go wait with all the other family members you haven't seen since '05," Codie said, walking away. "'05? Auntie Jenny!" Jamie exclaimed. Their Aunt Jenny lives in Conneticut, all the way across the country so this was big. "Oh, come on Jenn, can't I be seen for just three seconds please, please, please?" Jenn rolled her eyes. "No, Jamie." Jamie crossed her arms as Jenn started styling her hair. "You know, your outfit looks totally-"

"Flattery gets you nowhere."

"Dammit! Hey, what're you doing back there?" Jamie said as there was a hurtful tugging on her hair. "I'm brushing it, stupid! Have you forgotten that you don't brush your hair on weekends?" Jennifer was obviously annoyed with her younger sister. Begging to change the subject, Jamie started blabbin about pointless things. "Do you think I should've gone to basketball college instead of regular college?" this one was serious. "Jamie, you would not have made it there. Why? 'Cause Zak wasn't going there. You were so crabby for the first four years apart, another four years would've killed you and us!" Jamie tried not to laugh with her sister but couldn't help it. "Ok, ok, we're gonna be late, so shut up and let me do this!" that made them laugh even harder. Jenn finished doing everything just as the little egg timer went off. "Come on, come on, come on, come on!" Jenn said quickly. She peeked out of the door and saw nobody. "Ok, let's go!" Jenn dragged her sister along. The wedding was in less than 20 minnutes.

About 20 minutes later...

Jamie was about halfway down the aisle. Another reason she hated makeup was because she didn't want to look like an idiot with her mascara running. Her eyes were glossy with happy tears, and Jamie wasn't big on crying. Almost there...just a few steps away...And before she knew it, she was standing right in front of Zak. "I believe you've written your own vows?" the pastor said. Zak nodded and started off. "In the presence of God and these our friends I take thee to be my wife, promising with Divine assistance to be unto thee a loving and faithful husband so long as we both shall live." Zak's hands were so shaky, almost as shaky as when he had proposed. Jamie pulled it together fast and continued. "Zak, today I take you for my husband. Now we will feel no rain, for each of us will be shelter for the other. Now there will be no loneliness, for each of us will be companion to the other. There is only one life before us, and our seasons will be good and long. I promise to love, honor, and cherish you, no matter what lies before us, for as long as we both shall live." And after all that stuff and the rings the pastor FINALLY said, "You may kiss your bride." The kiss was at least 30 seconds long and niether Jamie nor Zak wanted to let go. But there was still half a day to go, and their lips reluctantly parted. Zak took a deep breath. "My god, no offense, but I thought that'd never be over!" Zak whispered as they both went through the doors at the end of the aisle. "Why?" Jamie said, smiling. "'Cause that was the scariest thing I've ever faced!" they both started to laugh histerically.

AWWWW! Y' know that was one of the most awkward chapters I've ever written! XD
