A/N: Don't Own, Please Review, yadda yadda yadda…..
SPOV:
This was it. My last moments of being Sam Puckett. As soon as Freddie's mom opens that door and gives us our cue, I'll be walking down the aisle.
"Sam, wow…you look gorgeous," Carly gushes. I stare at my self in the full-length mirror. My white dress is strapless and formfitting with crystal accents here and there. My curls have been tamed, and now lay flawlessly draped over my right shoulder, secured in place with what seems like thousands of bobby-pins, and numerous cans of hairspray.
"Thanks Carls," I say.
"Ok guys, wave to the camera!" Delani says, approaching us with Freddie's video-camera, "This is going on !" After our last iCarly wepisode years ago, Carly, Freddie and I have kept the website updated with blogs, and the occasional video when a major event, such as this, occurs in our lives.
"Hello people of the internet! I'm Carly, and in case you couldn't recognize her, this is Sam!" Carly waves her arms in my direction, "She's getting married today! To the tech boy we all know and love, Freddie!"
"It's true," I say, nodding over-dramatically, "I'm going to be Mrs. Nub!"
"Ok everyone! Let's go! It's time!" Mrs. Benson yells, bursting into the room, "Remember to take slow, careful steps so you don't fall! I don't want anything ruining my Freddie-Bear's day!"
Suddenly, I don't feel so good. I sink to the ground and put my head in my hands. I feel like I've been punched in the stomach and I'm gasping for air. 'I can't do this…' I think.
"Sam? Are you ok?" Carly asks worriedly. Her voice sounds as though it's coming through a long tunnel. I don't answer her.
"Sam! Sam c'mon! Sam! Please answer me!" She's panicking now, bent down next to me and tugging on my arm.
"Carly, I can't do this," I whisper.
"Sam, yes you can. You love Freddie. He loves you. There's nothing to be scared about. C'mon," She gives me a hug and rubs my arm.
I stare at the floor and listen to her as she continues reassuring me.
"Um, is everything all right?" Melanie asks, opening the door and peeping her head in, "Everybody's waiting,"
"Sam," Carly whispers, "Are you ready?" I slowly nod, and Carly gives me another hug before helping me up.
"Sam you really do look beautiful," Melanie says when I reach her. I nod, afraid that if I open my mouth, more than just words would come out of it. She gives me a big hug before taking her place next to Gibby in the bridal procession. Carly and I both take our places, and the music starts playing.
Delani and Joey, Freddie's old roommate, are first to walk down the aisle. Melanie and Gibby follow behind them, and Carly, my maid-of-honor, and Spencer, the best man, bring up the rear. When I hear the music change to the bridal march, I feel like I'm about to pass out.
'One-foot in front of the other Sam,' I tell myself, 'Nice and slow,' I look up at the altar and am amazed at how wonderful it looks. Carly really did an amazing job picking out all the flowers, and incorporating them into the church's décor. Then I spot Freddie, and can't look at anything else. His face is priceless, and if I wasn't so nervous, I'd probably be making fun of him. His mouth is hanging open, and his eyes are almost literally popping out of his head. I finally reach him, and when he takes my hand, all my nerves seem to melt away.
"Sup Nub?" I whisper, only audible enough for him to hear. He rolls his eyes.
"Shut up" He mouths back. I grin.
"We are gathered here today to join Samantha Puckett and Fredward Benson in Holy Matrimony," The minister begins, "Samantha and Fredward have decided to write their own vows which they will now read to each other. Samantha?"
Carly hands me a piece of wadded up paper, which I carefully smooth out.
"Freddie," I read, "If eight years ago someone had told me I'd be marrying you, I probably would have pushed them down the stairs, or out a window, or in front of a bus. There was no way I would have ever thought a future between us was possible. You were the nerd who was in love with my best friend, and I was the girl who made your life miserable. So we were enemies. We never questioned why, that's just how it was. Then we shared our first kiss together, 'just to get it out of the way' we said, but I think that's what changed everything. We still argued, and teased, and annoyed one another, but we were finally friends. Then one day, I realized I was actually looking forward to seeing you. Every day, I began looking forward to seeing you more and more. I even succumbed to studying, and doing extra-credit work, just to spend more time with you. Then at our school Lock-In, you told me that if I liked someone, there was no use holding it inside. I should show my feelings, because I would never know how the other person felt otherwise. So I kissed you. I thought I was insane after that. I was supposed to hate you, but here I was kissing you? I checked myself into a mental hospital, and you came to rescue me, and you kissed me and told me how you felt. After that day, we still had many arguments, we still called each other names, but that's just how we are, and I hope that never changes. I love you Fredweird,"
"Now you, Fredward," the minister says.
"Sam," He begins, "Without you, my life would be empty, and boring, and lifeless. You bring excitement to me each and every day. I'd be lost without you. I love you with every ounce of my being. I want to spend every moment of the rest of my life with you by my side, because without you, my life isn't even worth living. You're beautiful, and hilarious, and crazy. The very opposite of me. But I think that's why we fit so well together, two halves of the whole. We bring out the best in each other. I love you so, so much Sam, more than you can possibly imagine," As Freddie finishes, I can hear sniffling from behind me; Carly's probably crying.
"The rings, please." The minister continues. Spencer and Carly hand us our rings, and we take each other's left hand.
"Samantha please repeat after me. With this ring,"
"With this ring,"
"I be wed,"
"I be wed,"
After we exchange rings, Freddie's kisses me, and the minister announces us husband and wife. By the time we leave the church and get in the limo, I'm in a state of shock.
"What's wrong Mrs. Benson?" Freddie asks, putting his arm around me and pulling me close to him.
"I can't believe we're married already,"
"Well believe it," He says, kissing my cheek.
Before I know it we're at the reception in a huge hotels ballroom. The rest of the night passes in a blur, and I only remember pieces of it; dancing with Spencer, shoving cake in Freddie's place, talking to the guests.
Around 11 o'clock, I find myself in the bathroom with Carly.
"So is it everything you imagined it would be?" Carly gushes, fixing her make-up in the mirror.
"Carls, most of the guests have already left, why are you doing your make-up?" I ask.
"You never know who you might meet," She says, "So are you having fun?"
I ignore her and pretend to examine the pattern on the floor.
"Sam, what's wrong?" Carly stops doing her make-up and stares at me.
"Nothing,"
"Well, something is. Tell me,"
"I'm just, sort of, nervous," I mutter.
"Nervous? About what? The wedding's already over,"
I stare at Carly for a few minutes before deciding she wasn't going to pick up on my subtle hints.
"Does it hurt?" I ask her. She still looks confused, but when I raise my eyebrows at her, she catches on.
"Wait, you mean you and Freddie have never-?"
"Nope,"
"So tonight will-"
"Yup,"
"O-oh," Carly stutters, obviously uncomfortable.
"Well?"
"Um, it hurts a little, at first I mean, but then it starts feeling, um, good…."
"Carly you can stop if you want,"
"Oh thank God," Carly sighs, relieved, "But seriously, Sam, don't be nervous,"
"Thanks Carls,"
"Bye you guys! Congratulations! Have fun on your honeymoon, and be sure to take lots of pictures, and call me everyday, and-"
"Ok Carly we got it," Freddie laughs, "We'll see you when we get back,"
Carly gives us both a final hug before leaving.
"I'm so tired," Freddie says, rubbing his eyes.
"I'm so hungry," I say.
"Sam we just ate a ton of food,"
"I don't care I'm still hungry,"
"But Sam-" Our argument lasts all the way up the elevator and down the hallway to our room.
"I'll eat whenever the hell I like thank you very- Hey what are you doing?" I protest as Freddie picks me up.
"What's the problem?"
"Put me down, Benson or I swear to God, I'll-" Freddie silences me with a kiss, and carries me into the room. All my fears melt away. What is there to be nervous about?
A/N: I don't really like this chapter for some reason. Oh well. So, my 11/11/11 wish is for you to REVIEW! Please click that little button and make me a happy camper!
This is completely irrelevant, but I'm SO HAPPY right now because Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 came out on dvd today and I bought it so as soon as this uploads I'm going to go watch it! I haven't seen it since I went to the midnight premiere back in JULY! If you're a potterhead like me, go watch AVPM and AVPS on youtube. It's freaking hilarious and I absolutely LOVE Darren Criss! :D
