It was about eight in the morning and Kelly was still asleep in her bed. Brenda had come over to get ready for the wedding that would be happening later that day. As soon as she walked in she noticed Donna and Cassie in the kitchen eating breakfast, but she couldn't see Kelly. It wasn't that she was running late or anything, it was just that she would want to be woken up so that she could make sure everything would be perfect.
"Hey guys where's Kelly?" Brenda asked walking into the kitchen.
"Mommy's still sleeping… Daddy… I mean Brandon came over really early and made us breakfast. Want some?" Cassie said as she took another bite of her waffles.
"That's okay sweetie where are the dresses?" She asked instead.
"Don't worry they are in my room, and David was supposed to drop off the tuxes at your house." Donna said as she finished her plate.
"Which he did I think he may have been a little hung over but he's there… anyone going to wake her up?" Brenda asked.
Back in the bedroom Kelly was starting to wake up because the sun began to shine through the windows. As she opened her eyes she noticed that there were red and pink rose pedals all over her bed. She noticed that the door was slowly opening as she saw Brenda peek her head in the door.
"Hey." Kelly said happily as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in the bed.
"Good morning… how ya feeling?" Brenda asked walking in and sitting down on the bed.
"Excited, nervous, unbelievably happy, and totally terrified." Kelly said with a giant grin on her face. "What time is it?" She asked after a minute or two.
"Eight thirty… and we all have hair appointments at nine forty-five." Brenda said not trying to rush her.
"Why didn't anyone wake me up?" Kelly asked as she flung the covers over to one side of the bed and jumped out as she headed for the bathroom.
"I just got here and that was the same question I asked." Brenda said as she grabbed the sundress that was hanging on the back of the closet door.
"Thanks… I have no idea what I would do without you." Kelly said as Brenda handed her the dress.
"Oh you would probably go clinically insane and be institutionalize!" Brenda said trying to be funny.
"Ha-Ha-Ha… uh very funny Bren… uh can you make sure Cassie has a clean outfit…"
"Already on it." Brenda said before Kelly could finish what she was saying.
Brenda had been a guardian angel all morning and had made sure everything was going to go smoothly. She had double checked with the lifeguards to make sure that the beach was going to be cleared for the ceremony, she called the caterers to make sure the food was going to be there on time, she helped set up the dance floor, tables and chairs for the reception and made sure that they made it to their hair appointments on time. There wasn't going to be a single thing that was going to ruin this day for her and Brenda was going to make sure of that.

Brandon was up in his room with Steve, Dylan and David getting ready for the biggest day of his life. He couldn't believe that today had come so soon. It felt like just yesterday that he had proposed, but he couldn't be more ready… he wanted to be a part of Kelly and Cassie's life more that anything. After what had happened when Cassie had been kidnapped how could he not be? He felt that he needed to be there to protect them… after all the restraining order was about to expire and that meant that Dan could come back.
"What's going on in that head of yours Walsh?" Dylan asked leaning against the desk.
"The restraining order expires today. We've already extended it as long as they are going to let us; he hasn't given the cops any reason not to." Brandon said checking the mirror to make sure his tie was straight.
"Maybe he's learned his lesson and is going to stay away." Steve said sitting on the bed.
"I hardly doubt that's the reason… he's probably just waiting for it to expire before he tries anything else." David added.
"That's why I'm not going to let that happen again." Brandon said as he walked out of the room.
The Beach
It was time for the wedding to start and everything was perfect. The girls looked beautiful in their lilac purple dresses and the guys were picture perfect in their black tuxes. Brandon was standing up next to the priest waiting for Kelly to walk down the aisle. Soon the music started and little Cassie was seen walking down the aisle holding Erin's hand as she sprinkled flower pedals on the ground. Both of the little girls looked beautiful in their matching flower girl dresses. Next were Dylan and Brenda. Brandon smiled at his sister as she gracefully walked towards him. She kissed his cheek and wished him luck before she took her place. Steve and Andrea followed them both with giant grins on their faces. Donna and David were the last to walk down the aisle and took their places before the wedding march played. Kelly stepped out into view and everyone stood up as she walked down the aisle with her mom by her side.
"Who gives this woman to this man?" The Priest asked.
"Her mother…" Jackie began as a man could be seen running down the aisle.
"…and her father do." Bill Taylor said as he made his way up to them.
"Dad you made it." Kelly said as she smiled and gave him a big hug.
"How could I miss my little girl's wedding?" Bill said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek and sat down in the front row.
As the ceremony continued a man could be seen in the background just watching the whole thing take place. He knew that he should be anywhere but there, but there was something he had to say to Kelly. It was something that he had been holding inside for the past two years and since the restraining order had been thrown out that morning, he had every right to be there.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss the bride." The priest said as Brandon and Kelly shared their first kiss as a married couple.
Everyone clapped as the two kissed and as it ended Kelly opened her eyes and noticed the man standing in the back behind everyone. In fact she was so shocked that she had to close her eyes real tight and reopen them just to make sure she wasn't imagining it… nope he was still there.
"Dan…" Kelly said just loud enough for Brandon to hear.
"Cassie, come here…" Brandon said as he picked her up and put his arm protectively around Kelly as Dan walked towards them.
"What are you doing here?" Kelly asked looking from Dan to Cassie and Brandon.
"Don't worry… I didn't come to cause any trouble for the three of you… I just wanted to say thank you… for remembering the ring… It meant a lot to me… I'll leave you alone now." Dan said as he began walking away.
"Dan about Cassie…" Kelly began.
"Don't worry… she's all yours… congratulations on your marriage… bye Kelly." Dan said not looking back.
Casa Walsh
The day was almost over and the gang had all decided to go back to the Walshes for their own personal celebration. Cassie was sitting on Brandon's lap smiling to no end because she had a surprise for Brandon and Kelly. David saw the look on the little girl's face and knew that now she was ready. She had been too afraid to try this at the reception because of what had happened, but it was time now. David walked into the dining room and grabbed the portable keyboard he had brought to the reception and started to set it up in the corner of the living room. When he was done with that Cassie slid off of Brandon's lap and stood up in front of everyone.
"Mommy and Brandon, Uncle David and I have something we wanted to show you at the party, but I got scared. It's the song you like Mommy… Uncle David changed it a little." Cassie said as she slowly looked around the room.
"Well I think your mommy and I will love it… Go for it sweetie!" Brandon said a smile on his face to reassure her.
"Ready Cassie?" David asked and as she nodded he played the first notes of the song.
"Sometimes I know, you can read my mind
Deep down inside where my fears are hiding
Whisper so tender the way that you do
There's a love that's forever I've found in you…" Cassie sang a little off key, as Kelly slowly began to recognize the song was the one she wanted as their wedding song, but she couldn't find it anywhere.
"I know sometimes, I ask you for the moon
Reach for a star and long to hold you
How could this love be so simple for you
Then you reach out and touch me
And suddenly I see…" Cassie looked over at David and he smiled at her.
"All that I need is you
Always forever with you
I feel your love and I realize
All I ever needed was you
Just you…" David joined her on the chorus as everyone in the room watched them.
"Once and a while a dream will come true
A moment in time created by you
Things less important start falling away
There's a truth down inside me
And I hear my heart say…" Cassie sang as she watched the love in Brandon and Kelly's eyes.
"All that I need is you
Always forever with you
I feel your love and I realize
All I ever needed was you
Just you…" David jumped in again.
"I remember a time
Love was so hard to find
I was never really satisfied
Needing what I just denied
Oh, but now I see
So suddenly…" Cassie smiled as Kelly and Brandon got up and stood next to her.
"All that I need is you
Always forever with you
I feel your love and I realize
All I ever needed was you
Just you…" They joined her this time.
"All I ever needed was you
Just you…" Cassie finished by herself.
The room was so quiet after she finished because they were all just so shocked at her beautiful voice she had. Yeah she had been a little shaky at first, but after the first verse her voice changed as she became more confident in herself. Brenda couldn't believe what she had just heard, and that was when she realized how much love Cassie and Kelly really shared.
"I love you Mommy." Cassie said as Kelly gave her the biggest hug she could.
"That was beautiful sweetie…" Kelly said with tears in her eyes.
"Great job Cassie!" Brandon said hugging her as well.
"How long are you going to be gone this time?" Cassie asked knowing that they were leaving the next morning to go on their honeymoon.
"Actually Cassie… your mom and I had something else in mind. How would you like to move into that house we drove by yesterday?" Brandon asked knowing how much she had loved that house.
"The one down the street?" Cassie asked getting excited.
"That's the one baby." Kelly added, but all Cassie could seem to do was shake her head up and down.
"What are you talking about Brandon?" Jim asked with this confused look on his face.
"Dad… the house down the street has just gone on the market and let's face it… the beach apartment is just getting to crowded for us to stay there… instead of our honeymoon in the Caribbean we are going to put an offer on the house. It's a great house and we fell in love with it when we first saw it." Brandon said putting his arm around Kelly.
"Hey B, I got an idea why don't you two take a room at the Beverly Hills Hotel… on me… and the Walshes or your mom can watch Cassie tonight." Dylan said as Cassie held Kelly's leg tighter.
"What is it baby?" Kelly asked bending down to Cassie's level.
"I don't want to stay here…" Cassie said afraid because of what had happened last time.
"Sweetie that's not going to happen again… I promise!" Kelly said knowing that this might not work.
"NO!!!" Cassie shouted.
"Cassie… would you feel better if you stayed with Grandma Jackie?" Brandon asked.
"No I wanna go home… I wanna sleep in my own bed." She said crying.
"Kel, David and I will take her home… Is that going to be okay?" Donna asked Cassie.
"Do I have to be in my room alone?" She asked.
"No sweetie… I can stay in there with you." Donna said smiling sweetly at her.
"Okay… Goodnight Mommy… Goodnight Daddy." Cassie whispered in Brandon's ear.
"Goodnight Cassie… we'll see you in the morning." Brandon began.
"I love you… don't stay up to late." Kelly finished as Cassie gave her one last hug.
As soon as the two pulled apart Donna took Cassie's hand and they headed for the door, meeting David there before heading out to the car. Dylan grabbed the phone and reserved the best hotel room in the place and said just to bill it to his room. As soon as he hung up he turned to his best friend.
"Okay it's all set… anything you two need is on me… room service you name it… I am buying tonight." Dylan said as he looked over at Kelly who was mouthing, 'I'm sorry' to him.
"Thanks man!" Brandon said giving him a quick hug as Dylan mouthed, 'Its okay' back to Kelly.
