A/N – Thanks for reading! So many wonderful and supporting comments. I'm really glad that everyone has enjoyed this fic. It was such a challenge for me, and I did so much research to try to make it more authentic. It was only supposed to be 15 chapters but it took on a life of its own. The next fic replacing this is 11 chapters and Liz is experienced but Jason is not (talk about a challenge lol). Happy New Year!

Chapter 31 – Wedding Day Bliss

Courtney woke Liz and she started to prepare for the wedding. She ate breakfast in her room with Georgie and then the day of beauty began. They are getting married in the afternoon.

Liz stood at her window. She could see the church in the distance as she smiled. She can barely contain her glee. By tonight, she will be Princess of Cornwall, Duchess of Rothsbury, and Countess of Chester.

"Elizabeth, can you come here, please?" Monica said from the doorway.

Liz turned around. "Yes, your majesty."

"I would be honored if you would wear this today." She handed her a box.

Liz gasped as she opened it. "Oh, my goodness. It's beautiful."

"I wore it on my wedding day too. I consider it to be good luck."

Liz grinned. "Please help me put it on."

Monica put the diamond bracelet on her wrist. "You are going to be a beautiful bride. I've come to love you, Elizabeth. You are my family and I want you to know that I am here for you whenever need be."

Elizabeth hugged her tightly. "Thank you so much. You all mean so much to me."

They are interrupted by Alan. "You have a visitor, Elizabeth."

Liz focused on him. "Really?"

Alan smiled and nodded as Adeline strode by him.

"Adeline!" Liz yelled as she hugged her tightly. "I'm so glad that you could make it."

"I wouldn't miss it for the world. Harry is downstairs visiting with Jason who seems way too calm if you ask me."

Liz laughed. "He always has to make everything seem so easy."

They sat and chatted for a few minutes. It is so good to see them when there is not an emergency. Georgie entered the room. "Your flowers are ready."

"Good," Liz said smiling. "Did you get to spend time with John today?"

Georgie nodded. "A little. He has been with Jason, AJ, and Nikolas most of the day."

Emily joined them. "Courtney is putting the finishing touches on your dress. You lost a little weight in the last few weeks."

"I know. I missed your brother so much that I wasn't that hungry," Liz said with a pout.

Emily laughed. "With all the food in the castle the next few days, I'm sure you'll gain it all back. Just wait until after the wedding though."

Liz laughed. "Will do."

They sat around for a while laughing and chatting until it was time for lunch. Alan and AJ delivered it.

"Tell Jason, I miss him," Liz said before AJ could leave.

He grinned. "He misses you too. We can barely keep him in a conversation. All of a sudden his eyes glaze over, and he starts thinking about you."

Emily laughed. "Oh yeah, that sounds like Jason."

"I do not lie. It's like an Elizabeth haze that we can barely snap him out of. It's quite sickening actually."

"Hey!" Liz yelled.

"No offense. It's just funny."

Liz chuckled. "I'm sure you probably smack him in the head when he does it."

"Yes, but not too hard, stuff might start rattling around in there," AJ said jovially.

They laughed.

"Give him a kiss for me."

AJ frowned. "I have my limits. I'll make Johnny do it."

The girls laughed. "You'll have to report back later."

"I will see you all at the church."

Georgie and Emily got Elizabeth into her gown. It is beautiful. She is wearing a tight corset that is white but has gold stitching. A lace overlay covers the top and it swept across her to the little lace sleeves that hang off her shoulders. The stitch work is incredible. The skirt has layers of lace that are gathered into three tiers, and an extra lace piece is affixed to the back with gold embroidery which serves as a long train.

"Courtney, it's beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it," Elizabeth said softly.

Courtney grinned. "Thank you. It was an honor."

Monica wiped a tear away. "Courtney, it's the most beautiful wedding dress I've ever seen."

Courtney gasped. "Thank you, your majesty." She is completely taken aback.

"It's true. You are definitely making mine," Emily said.

Courtney grinned. "It would be an honor."

They put on Elizabeth's veil.

"Beautiful," Georgie said smiling.

Georgie, Courtney, and Emily are dressed similarly.

"This is from Jason," Monica said handing her a box.

Liz brimmed with excitement as she opened it. It is a beautiful diamond broach. Monica put it on her dress. "Perfect."

"Are you ready?" Monica asked.

Liz nodded.

Monica slipped out and headed to the church with Alan. Jason is already there. They are marrying on a Tuesday because according to superstition it brings good health. Courtney put a needle into the bottom of the dress and had Liz do one stitch. The tradition is supposed to be good luck. The bridesmaids surrounded her on her procession throughout the castle and then onward to the church.

Elizabeth sucked in her breath as they ascended the steps. The bells are ringing, and she started to get a little nervous, clutching the flowers in her hand tightly as she took a deep breath.

Her father met them in the vestibule and the bridesmaids joined Jason, Johnny, AJ, and Nikolas at the front of the church.

The musicians started to play.

"You ready my child?" Jeffrey asked.

"More then ready," Elizabeth said softly.

He led her up the aisle as everyone stood and watched except for the groom because tradition prohibited him from seeing her until she had completed her walk down the aisle.

"She looks exquisite," AJ whispered to Jason.

Jason smiled. "I would expect no less."

When Elizabeth finally made it to him, Jeffrey smiled and stepped back. Georgie took Elizabeth's bouquet and Jason held her hands. "You look beautiful," Jason said as Elizabeth smiled.

They listened as the priest began, and then a song was sung.

The priest gave his intro and then it was time for their vows. Jason Quartermaine wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance, the holy estate of matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health, and forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, for as long as ye both shall live?

"I will."

Elizabeth Imogene Webber, wilt thou have this man to thy wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance, the holy estate of matrimony? Wilt thou obey him, serve him, love, honor and keep her in sickness and in health, and forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, for as long as ye both shall live?

"I will."

The ceremony continued as they exchanged troths and then it was time for Jason to give Elizabeth the ring.

He reverently placed the ring on her finger. "With this ring, I thee wed, with my body I thee worship, and with all my worldly goods I thee wed; In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen."

They knelt, and the priest said a prayer and then joined their right hands together. "Those whom God hath joined together, let no man put asunder."

He pronounced them man and wife and then gave them a blessing before declaring the duties of a man and wife and then they received communion.

He announced them and then Jason lifted her veil and kissed her. They turned to face everyone as they clapped.

"I love you," Jason said softly.

"I love you too."

They followed the priest into a room to sign the wedding documents and then went back to the castle for the reception.
