Sorry it's been so long again! I know I'm skipping around in my story time-wise, and I'm not sure how you guys like that. Let me know if about it!

I stood behind the intricately carved doors, fiddling with the cuffs on my tuxedo jacket. Even though I knew everything was a done deal at this point, I was still nervous. Alice still had the chance to say no. I had a dream a few weeks back that she would through the ring in my face in front of our audience, scream "Hell no!" and run out the door into the arms of some man I had never seen before but I was pretty sure was better looking than me.

I shook my head. No. Alice wanted me. She wanted to be my wife, no one else's. I ran my hand through my hair, knowing that it would flop back exactly where it was supposed to be. It wasn't often that people got married a year after high school, but what can I say? I'm a rebel.

My shoulders shook with the laughter that escaped my throat. My southern joke had been weak and only made more stupid by the fact that no one was there to hear it. It was weird to hear myself tell southern jokes though. I always got offended when others made them. Perhaps I didn't mind myself making them because I didn't actually mean the really offensive ones like others did. I once heard a joke about inbreeding that almost made me punch a boy in the jugular.

At that moment, while I was still smiling, the doors opened. I silently thanked the heavens for the perfectly timed moment. My natural smile was better than my posed one. I walked down the aisle, the room completely silent apart from the click of the doors closing behind me. I took my place at the front of the room and waited for my bride.

My mother sat in the front row on my side of the crowd. She smiled at me. My father was looking the other way, not entirely happy with my choice of bride. It didn't matter what he thought of her. On the other side sat Alice's wonderful mother and an open chair where her father should be seated. A picture of the man was propped up on the seat. Alice had told me her father had passed away, but she had never really been able to talk about what happened. I never pushed.

The orchestra-style band began to play the wedding march. The crowd brought themselves to their feet. The double doors opened and revealed a beautiful woman.

Alice's dress was beautiful. It had long sleeves that pointed into triangles at her hands, attached to her middle finger on both sides. They were made of a gossamer material up till they reached her elbows, where it turned to the cloth material. Beading ran up the gossamer in random swirl patterns. The bodice was tight and had a rounded, modest neckline. It, too, was covered in the beading patterns. At her hips, it poofed out into a slightly 1800s style poof. It wasn't huge, but there was a defined poof. It was covered in a thin layer of gossamer. Behind her, i could see gossamer ruffles pouring out, with silk tips. It reminded me of a babbling brook, in turn reminding me of the day we had our picnic by the stream.

There wasn't much she could do with her hair, it being short and all. She had turned up the ends in her normal fashion, but pinned her bangs to the side with a beaded hair pin. Her hair had a slight sparkle to it, as if she had sprinkled pixie dust on it. That fit her pixie-look quite well. She had a light coating of natural colored makeup on her face, barely noticeable. The most obvious makeup was her eyeliner and mascara, but even that looked natural on her face. She carried a small bouquet of light orange roses. The orange she had done for me, an homage to my favorite color. My best men wore light orange vests and I had a light orange pocket silk sticking out. Her bridesmaids also wore the same shade of non-offending orange on their dresses.

Alice made it up to where I was standing and turned to face me, rounding her train ever so slightly. I took her hands and brought the left one to my lips to kiss her engagement ring. She giggled and I smiled.

The ceremony sped by until we got to the real marriage part.

Alice was asked if she took me as her husband. "I do."

I was asked the same question only of Alice as my wife. "I do."

"You may now kiss the bride."

I placed my finger under her chin and my thumb on the tip of it to lift her face to mine. Our lips touched and I swear I could see fireworks behind my lids. I could only imagine what was going on in Alice's mind. The band picked up again in a cheerful tune. I felt Alice's breathing stutter with the tears beneath my lips. She was still smiling, though. I felt my eyes begin to prickle even while covered, but I forced the tears back. Men don't cry at weddings.

I pulled back from my wife. "I love you."

She smiled through her happy tears. "I love you, too."

I took her hand and helped her reset her train behind her. I led her out of the hall as the standing crowd threw rice over our heads. It was a cliché Alice had wanted.

The limo waited for us outside the building. I helped my amazing wife into the car and dashed over to the other side to join her. The limo sped away, leaving our cheering well-wishers waving at our just-married car.

Alice turned to me, her makeup still miraculously in place despite her joyful tears. "Oh, Jasper."

I kissed her now two rings on her left hand. "Alice, you don't realize how happy you've made me. I've dreamed of this for far too long."

"I'm the happy one," she said. "I half expected you to come to your senses and run away screaming." She laughed.

"I came to my senses when I asked you to marry me."

She smiled, another tear slipping down her cheek.

I kissed it away and wiped the remnants of the others from her face. "Don't cry, not even happy tears. Are you excited?"

She nodded furiously. "Oh, yes, Jasper. I can't wait to get there."

I reached over and pulled out a bottle of coke for each of us. I opened them both and handed one to her. "Well, we have a long drive ahead of us. Are you prepared to wait?"

She took a sip and placed it in the cup holder. Her eyes turned to look at me fondly. "I would spend an eternity with you in here."

I smiled again. "We have a much better place to spend that eternity together." I put my coke in the holder as well.

Alice scooted over and put her head on my chest, sitting slightly in my lap. I leaned over against the door, letting her use me as a pillow. The walls of the limo were upholstered, so I was comfy.

I ran my finger up and down her cheek. "Sleep, darlin'. I'll wake you when we arrive if you can sleep that long."

Her eyes fluttered shut and she snuggled closer to me. I wrapped both arms around her protectively and played with her hair as we flew down the highway on our way to our honeymoon.

I hope you guys liked it! I have been waiting so long to do this chapter! I will do the next chapter on a day of their honeymoon. I might do a few days of that. Then they will return to school, cause remember, they have been there for a few months! I love all of your reviews! Thanks guys!
