Till death us do part...

Chapter 1: The reception

Summary:This is a continuation of my previous fanfic "with this ring". This story will follow Ross and Rachel though their lives together. Despite my history in this category I will not be killing anybody off in this fic, I promise. Anyway on with the fic. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own friends.

Ross's POV

I think this wedding was definitely the most memorable one I've ever taken part in. I was totally amazed at how quick Mon planed it all but then again Rach did say he wanted to still be fairly thin when we got married. She's 5 months on now but you wouldn't have thought it to look at her. She always was skinny. I can't believe we really are married now and this one is not some drunken mistake in Vegas. I still think they should not let you get married when you are THAT drunk. Oh dear I think Rachels mum and dad are about to start world war 3. I had better go help the negotiations.

Rachels POV

I can't believe Ross and I are married! And for once I'm really glad for Monica's obsessive organising. Thanks to her the reception went without a hitch (A.N. No pun intended). I don't think I had a say in anything which suited me just fine. I just retreated inside myself and enjoyed my first night of marriage that I actually remember. (AN. See TO in Vegas). Oh no my parents are warring again. Why do they always have to do this when they are together? Would it be so hard for them just to sit in opposite corners of the room and glare at each other? It was bad enough that Jill and Amy refused to come to the wedding but this is just pathetic. They can't just be happy that I'm married they have to bring their problems into it. Happy place, happy place, happy place, happy place. Hey Phoebe's right this hippie stuff works. Oh thank you Ross. If he's going to go and sort them out then I don't have to. Yay!

General POV

Later that evening Ross and Rachel twirled round the dance floor completely oblivious to the other couples around them perfectly content in their marital bliss.

A.N. This is the end of chapter one. I'm sorry I know it's short but I wanted to get it up before I went away. Please R&R. I promise the next chapter will be longer. Bye.
