"You look amazing, really" Charlene smiled sweetly, "there's no reason to be nervous."
"I'm not…nervous" Amanda gulped as Jess rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, and Charlie's fat" Jess said.
Amanda shrugged, "It'll all be worth it in the end won't it?" she asked her bridesmaids, but mostly looking at Willa.
She nodded, "Yes, it will. You'll see him and forget all your nerves.
…
"You'll see her in that dress and forget all the obstacles you both encountered; the fears and the doubts, tears and the troubles and for that moment, you'll realize that you're the luckiest man in the world" Philby said.
"Damn" Maybeck said.
"Yeah, I can be deep, but more importantly, I am right" Philby said seriously.
"I'm not so much worried about the wedding, but more so afterwards" Finn said.
"What are you talking about? That's the best part," Maybeck said. Philby turned around and shot Maybeck a glare. "Not what I mean" Maybeck quickly said, with Finn laughing in the background. "But seriously, than all the nerves are gone and you can simply enjoy the fact that the beautiful girl beside you is now forever your wife." Philby nodded in approval.
"Yeah, I can do it too" he said, eyeing Philby with a grin.
"You get the point" Philby said.
"Yes, I do" Finn smiled, "Ready?"
"Are you kidding? We've been waiting for this day for WAY too long" Maybeck exclaimed.
…
"Jess, there's something I wanted to ask you" Amanda whispered to her sister as Charlene and Willa made their way to the back of the ceremony.
"Right now?" Jess whispered back, "you're about to get married."
"Will you give me away?" Amanda blurted ot before Jess could protest.
"What?" she gasped.
"Grandpa had asked if he was goingt o walk me down the aisle, but I explained that you're the one who has always been with me and looked out for me. You're my sister and I want you to give me away. Besides, Grandpa is officiating the ceremony."
Jess stood in awe at what Amanda had said. She nodded, for she was lost for words. Amanda smiled, "Well than come on, take my hand."
