Song is "The Right Man" by Christina Aguilera.

A few months had passed since EJ proposed to Sami. Roman recovered and was back to his old self just in time. If he hadn't been able to get up out of bed, Sami would have pushed the wedding back. But, now he was just fine and today was the day. This was it. The day Samantha was to marry EJ.

Marlena still didn't approve of it. However, she had agreed to come to the wedding. Sami suspected that John must have talked her into it.

At the moment, in the back of St. Luke's, Sami was standing in the bridal room surrounded by Hope, Anna, Belle, Stephanie, and Chelsea. She was wearing a halter-style white satin gown with Swarovski crystals dotted all over it. Her hair was left down, in curls, held back from her face by the Cathedral-length veil on top of her head. Belle, Stephanie, and Chelsea were her bridesmaids and were wearing simple strapless gowns of sapphire blue.

As they were straightening out Sami's veil, her cell phone rang. It was Roman.

So many years have gone by;
Always strong, tried not to cry.
Never felt like I needed any man
To comfort me in life.
But, I'm all made up today;
A veil upon my face,
But, no father stands beside me
To give this bride away.

"Now, honey, I don't want you to freak out," was the first thing she heard.

"Freak out? What do you mean? What's happened?" Of course, Sami started to panic. Nothing could go wrong today. Nothing.

"Well, there was major accident a few minutes away from the church and traffic's completely held up. I'm not sure how long I'll be sitting here."

"Daddy, no! You have to make it on time! I can't stall forever!" Sami cried. "You're the police commissioner! Can't you do something?"

"Sami, I can't. Just calm down. I'll be there ASAP."

Well, I'm standing in the chapel
Wearing my white dress.
I have waited for this moment
With tears of happiness.
Here I leave behind my past
By taking the chance.
I've finally found the right man.

Sami let them know what happened after she hung up. Anna hurried out to tell Tony they needed to stall for a little bit while Roman tried to get there. Tony turned to EJ and let him know what was going on.

EJ sighed. "Never a dull moment…" he muttered.

"Well, what do we do in the meantime?" Tony asked.

"I have no idea," EJ said. "Give the crowd one of your wonderful speeches that you usually give me and make off the top of you head."

Tony gave him a look, sighed a world-weary sigh, and headed up towards the front of the pews.

Thoughts racing fast through my mind,
As I'm gazing down the aisle,
That my future will mend the memories
Torn between father and child.

Sami peeked out through the doors to see how the guests were holding up. Tony was saying something to them, so hopefully they knew what was going on. Hopefully, they knew she wasn't running out on yet another wedding.

She caught a snippet of what Tony was saying. "They love each other, unconditionally. That, my friends, is what true love is. It's two souls, deeply in love with each other, that face pain and overcome it with unconditional love."

She smiled to herself. Convincing every last one of the guests that she and EJ truly were meant to be with each other. She was lucky to gain Tony as a brother-in-law. She lucky to be gaining EJ as a husband! She knew it would be perfect. He would be an amazing father to Colleen, and even to Tom when Lucas didn't have him. She didn't want her twins to have to go through what she and Eric went through, thinking their father was dead.

My emotions overload
'Cause there is no hand to hold.
There's no shoulder here to lean on.
I'm walking all on my own.

Her thoughts switched back to Roman then. Where was he? They couldn't wait much longer. And she wasn't doing this without him there. She had half a mind to go ask John to walk her down the aisle, but she didn't need her mother having a coronary in front of the whole church. That was the last thing she needed right now…

Hope and Anna were hurrying back to their seats. They wished her luck on their way past. Tony and Belle, Stephanie and Max, and Chelsea and Nick lined up in front of her and started making their way down the aisle. Claire walked down next, holding hands with Tom and Colleen – the flower girls and ring bearer.

"Wait, we're starting?" Sami cried. "We can't start yet!"

"Yes, we can."

Sami turned around to see Roman smiling next to her. "Let's get this show on the road, ok?"

Here I go…

The whole way down the aisle, Sami found she couldn't tear her eyes away from EJ's. He was staring down at her with a smile on his face and she gave him the same look back. She didn't even pay attention to Bo, or Steve, or Kayla, or anyone else sitting there. She didn't even risk a glance at Marlena. For her, it was only EJ.

Suddenly, she found herself standing up at the altar. EJ was standing next to her, looking every bit like Prince Charming in a black tuxedo. It was the most surreal wedding that Sami had ever had.

This was everything she ever wanted. It took forever for her to admit it to herself, but she had. And it was actually happening. EJ had stuck by her through everything and they were getting married.

Now I'm standing at four corners,
To have and to hold.
Now, my love, you stand beside me
To walk life's winding road.
And I owe it all to you
For taking the chance.
You've shown me there's a right man.
'Cause I never knew a right man.

"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God and in the presence of these witnesses, to join Samantha Gene Brady and Elvis John, Jr. Wells in holy matrimony."

Sami took a deep breath. It had started.

After the priests opening statements, he turned to the two of them and asked them to join hands.

"EJ, this woman whom you hold by the hand is to be your wife. Do you vow here that you will be true and loyal, patient in sickness, comforting in sorrow, and forsaking all others, keeping yourself only unto her so long as you both shall live?"

Without the slightest bit of hesitation, EJ replied, "I do."

"Samantha," the priest continued. "This man whom you hold by the hand is to be your husband. Do you vow here that you will be loyal in adversity, ministering to him in affliction, comforting him in sorrow, and forsaking all others, keeping yourself only unto him so long as you both shall live?"

"I do," she replied, her eyes welling up.

Now, they were to exchange rings.

Well, I'm standing in the chapel,
Ready to confess
That I've waited for this moment
With tears of happiness.
Now, I leave behind my past
By taking the chance…

Tony handed a band of diamonds to EJ. Sliding it onto Sami's finger, he said, "I, EJ, give you, Samantha, this ring as a symbol of my love. I promise to love you forever; every single day of forever. I promise to accept you, always, for the person you are and I promise not to try and change you into someone else. I promise not to expect perfection from you, because I know you don't expect it from me. I promise to love you and stand by you through the worst of times. I promise to forever fight for what we have and never let it go. I love you."

Sami felt a tear slip down her cheek. Her hands were trembling so much, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to get through this. Nevertheless, Belle gave her a simple gold band with onyx stones in it. Now came her turn to speak.

"I, Samantha, give you, EJ, this ring as a symbol of my love. I stand here now to announce my love for who you are and who I am because of you. I love the way you look at me and how I can read in your eyes a reassurance of all the promises you make me. Thank you for loving me as I am. You loved me through my highest highs and my lowest lows. You were and still are my best friend, my prince charming, and I love you for all of that. You are my fate, my destiny. And that will never change."

Well, I'm standing at four corners
To have and to hold.
Now, my love, you stand beside me
To walk life's winding road.
And I owe it all to you
For taking the chance…

"In as much as you have each pledged to the other your lifelong commitment, love and devotion, I now pronounce you husband and wife, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit," the priest announced. "You may now kiss the bride!"

And with that, EJ pulled Samantha into a kiss that truly sealed the deal.

Outside St Luke's, they all gathered for wedding pictures. Belle, Stephanie, and Chelsea lined up next to Sami. On EJ's side stood Tony, Max, and Nick. Belle was holding Tom and Sami picked up Colleen, but no – she wanted her father and leaned towards him until Sami let her go.

And one day my little girl
Will reach out her hand.
She'll know I found the right man.

The End
