A/N: So once again I'm going to try to update four times in one day. I just want everyone to know that this chapter set up is a little different than the others. The whole chapter is over the course of three months and I divided it up by the different parts of wedding planning. I probably didn't do everything but then again y'all don't need to know every exact detail since you'll be at the wedding. Oh yeah, you're all invited to Jordan and Beth's wedding =)

-First update of Dec. 27 12:37 pm

Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi or its characters but I do own a prom dress that I have no idea the location of.

Did you know that one of the Irish wedding traditions is for the bride to wear a blue wedding dress? Yep, and a Mexican tradition is that during the marriage vows, a white ribbon or rosary, called a "lasso", is symbolically wrapped around the necks of the couple, which represents their joining. And during a traditional wedding ceremony in Venezuela, the families of the bride and groom exchange 13 gold coins, to symbolize prosperity and good fortune. The traditional Irish wedding cake is a fruit cake a Mexican wedding cake is also a fruit cake but soaked in rum. And apparently in Venezuela it is traditional for newlyweds to sneak away from their own wedding reception without saying good-bye. It's considered to bring good luck to the union. Do you want to know the one and only wedding tradition North American black people have? Playing the electric slide, that's it!

We have LESS than three months to plan a wedding. Less than THREE months. Do you know how hard it is to plan a wedding in less than three months? Do you know how hard it is to plan a wedding where your bride-to-be wants to celebrate her heritage and culture at the ceremony and reception in less than three months? Do you know how hard it is to plan a wedding where your bride-to-be wants to celebrate her heritage and culture and it just so happens that she has three different cultures as part of her heritage, in less than three months? Do you know how HARD it is to plan a cultural wedding when your bride-to-be is Mexican, Irish, AND Venezuelan? IT'S FUCKING HARD! But lucky for us we have the great Paige Michalchuk as our wedding planner.

Venue:
"Ok before we go any further you two need to pick the venue for the ceremony and the reception," Paige tells us. "Now I'm going to be honest with you, it's going to be very hard to find a place to hold this because for most places you have to reserve them like six months in advance. For the really good places you have to reserve them a year in advance."

We're currently in the condo right now trying to plan for this wedding. It's June which means we have about two months to plan this whole thing. Beth wants to have the wedding on August 14th and then she wants to go honeymooning in Maui. Now I'm all for the honeymoon in Maui but I have no idea how we're going to plan both the wedding and the reception in two months. Even with Paige's help I don't know how we're going to pull this off.

"Why don't you just get married at the church down the street and then have the reception at Mom and Dad's house?" Alex suggests.

"I totally agree with Alex on this one," I tell them.

Beth looks at me. "Jordan I want to get married somewhere beautiful," she says. "Somewhere that has a special meaning to us."

"I agree with Beth," Paige says. "Your wedding is a celebration of your love for each other and you should celebrate it somewhere that is special to the both of you."

"Our bedroom is special to me," I tell them. "Can we have it there?"

Oomph! Beth just threw a pillow at me and it hit me square in the face.

"Be serious Jordan," Beth says.

"Fine fine. Just pick a place, I don't care where it is."

Beth's face just lit up. It looks like she has an idea. I wonder if this was a cartoon show if a light bulb would have just lit up over her head.

"Degrassi," she says.

What! I think Alex, Paige, and I just all fell out of our chairs. She can't be serious.

"Uh hon," Paige starts. "You can't be serious."

"Yeah," I agree with Paige. "Beth we can't get married at Degrassi," I tell her seriously. "It's Degrassi."

"Exactly," Beth says. "It's the place where we met and fell in love."

"Oh well if you're going with that then we should get married at the movie theater where we had our first date."

Beth is looking at me with a deadpan look on her face. "Jordan, don't be silly," she says. "That would just be ridiculous."

"And having our wedding at Degrassi isn't?"

Beth gets up from her seat and sits on my lap. She's playing with my hair now. Don't cave in Jordan, don't cave in.

"Jordan," she says my name in a sad puppy dog way. "You said to just pick a place that you didn't care. The night you proposed to me you promised I could have the wedding of my dreams. Well my dream is marry you at the place where I first saw you and fell in love with you."

Beth is looking at me with those sad puppy dog eyes. I can't help but give in.

"Ok," I tell her. "We can have it at Degrassi. We'll have it outside on the football field."

Beth smiles widely at me. Mmm, I'm rewarded with kisses.

"Yay!" she says. Beth turns and looks at Paige. "Paige I need you to call whoever you need to call to get us permission to have the wedding on the Degrassi football field."

"Alright hon," Paige says. "I'll make some calls."

"I love you," Beth tells me.

"I love you too."

Beth hops off my lap and goes off somewhere with Paige. I sigh. I can't believe I just agreed to have my wedding at Degrassi. Degrassi, of all places!

"Whitchx!"

I turn around and look at Alex. She looks back at me with a smile on her face.

"Whitchx!" Alex makes the sound again and this time with the hand motion. "You are so whipped."

"Shut up," I tell her. "Unlike me, Beth has been dreaming about her wedding day since she was like five. I just want to say "I do" and cut the cake."

"You're getting married at Degrassi. Degrassi!"

"Yeah, well it's better than getting married in an alley I guess."

"Not by much," Alex mutters.

"Shut up."

The Dress:
So it has been confirmed that the wedding will take place on the Degrassi football field. For some reason I feel like American white trash for getting married on a football field. Unfortunately August is the start of football season which means the football players start practicing on that field in July which means that by the time the wedding actually rolls around the field will be torn up. Lucky for us though there's this company in Toronto that specializes in keeping grass looking nice and field. You know how golf courses always look nice and green? Yep, this is the same company that works on the grass at all the gold courses in Toronto. We hired them to fix the grass for us a couple of days before the actual ceremony and we talked to Simpson into not having the football team practice at least four days before the big day.

Now you would have thought the whole having my wedding at Degrassi would be the thing to stress me out. Oh no, the place of the wedding is the least of my worries.

"You look so pretty!" my mom gushes.

"You look like a pretty princess!" Alex says in a mocking tone.

I'm glaring at Alex sending her death rays via my eyes. "I hate you," I tell her.

"And I hate that you look so pretty!" she says and smiles at me.

Alex is really having a good time with this. I look at myself in the mirror. I'm wearing a white poufy dress with a long ass train. This is not what I signed up for. When I got down on my knee that day and asked Beth to marry me I did not think I'd have to wear a dress. I HATE dresses! The only reason why I'm even trying on dresses is because Beth begged me to and Brian said he wouldn't help pay for the wedding unless I was in a dress. I hate the world.

"This isn't the dress for me," I tell Mom and Alex.

"What are you talking aboot?" Alex asks. "All this pouf is definitely you." Alex pats the bottom of the big poufy dress.

I slap Alex's hands away. "I just want something nice and simple. No pouf, no train."

"Are you sure you don't want a train?" Stacey, one of the employees of the shop asks me.

I nod my head. "Definitely no train," I tell her. "I really just want a very simple dress. Nothing fancy."

"But this is your wedding day."

"Yeah it's also my fiancé's wedding day which is the only reason why I agreed to wear a dress in the first place," I tell Stacey. "If it were up to me I would just wear the same outfit Ellen DeGeneres wore to her wedding."

"Well I'll go check to see if we have 'simpler' dresses," Stacey says and leaves.

"Jordan, honestly I think you are making this more difficult than it needs to be," Mom says.

"No Mom, I think this is more difficult than it needs to be," I tell her. "I'm not making this difficult, it just is. I don't do dresses. You know this, Dad knows this, Beth knows this, and hell the whole world knows this. I don't like dresses nor do I feel comfortable in them."

"I'm asking for this one day Jordan this one day. One day where I just want you to be a girly girl."

I turn around and look at my mother. "One day," I tell her while holding up one finger. "This one day I will suck it up and wear a dress, but ONLY because my fiancé wants me to and let's be honest, this wedding is more for her than me."

"To be honest with you sweetie I don't really care the reason why you're wearing the dress, just as long as you wear one."

Alex starts laughing. Well at least my mother is honest. Stacey comes back over to us with a new dress in hand.

"I think you'll like this one," she says.
"Let's hope so," Alex mutters. "This will only be like her twentieth dress."

"I have no problem kicking you right in the face right now," I tell her.

Alex just sticks her tongue out at me. She can be such a child sometimes.

The Music:
"Alright it's time to talk aboot the music," Paige announces.

We're once again in the condo discussing the wedding and as always Alex is here. I mean let's face it, school doesn't start for her till August so she might as well help with the planning of the wedding. We need all the help we can get.

"I think we should hire DJ Incredible," I tell them. "He DJed my birthday bash and we all saw and experienced how much fun that was."

"Jordan we're not going to have some club DJ playing club music at our wedding," Beth says.

"Isn't the music during the reception though? I see no problem with playing club music at the reception."

"Hon, this is a wedding reception, not a party," Paige says.

I raise my eyebrow. "Isn't a wedding reception a party though? I mean there's music, dancing, gifts, and cake. That sounds like a party to me."

"Jordan a wedding reception is the celebration of the wedding. The classiness of the wedding needs to spread to the reception. Let's say for example Lexie and I were getting married."

Alex sits up straight. "Did you propose or did I?" she asks.

"Hon, that doesn't really matter for this," Paige tells her. "Anyway let's say we were getting married. Lexie on the count of three we'll both say who we'd want playing at our reception. 1, 2, 3…"

"Kesha," Alex says.

"Michael Bublé," Paige says at the same time.

Wait, did Alex really just say Kesha? We're all looking at her with the same weird look.

"Kesha?" Paige asks. "Hon, you would have Kesha playing at our wedding?"

Alex shrugs her shoulders. "You'd have Michael Bublé playing."

"Michael Bublé plays amazing pop jazz music and has won numerous awards. You want the girl who farts out glitter to play at our wedding?"

Ok, now it's time to give Paige the weird look.

"Farts glitter?" I ask. "How old are you?"

"Oh you all know it's true!" she shouts.

"Well at least we'd have fun with Kesha," Alex says.

"We'd have fun with Michal Bublé!" Paige exclaims. "We'd have a lot of fun!"

Ok I have to stop this madness before it goes further. I raise my hands up, signaling to Paige and Alex to shut up.

"Ok we're not going to have you two arguing any longer about who will be playing at you pretend futuristic wedding," I tell them. I turn my attention to Beth. "I want music that I can dance to. Music that I can shake my money make to."

Beth raises her eyebrow. "Your money maker?" she asks.

"You know what I'm trying to get at. I know you want music that celebrates your heritage and everything but you have to remember that this wedding is about the both of us. It's about us bringing our two lives together to form one. I'll make a deal with you."

"Go on…"

"If you let me have DJ Incredible play at our wedding then… I will learn the Paso Doble and I will let you play that God awful Irish song that you want played so much and I will learn the Irish Jig. But if I learn these two dances then we HAVE to play the electric slide."

I'm holding out my hand to Beth to shake. She looks like she's thinking about it. Oh come on, she's getting more out of this than I am. I'm the one that has to learn TWO dances. Beth smiles and shakes me hand.

"You have yourself a deal Jordan Johnson," Beth says happily.

"Alrighty then," Paige says. "I guess I'll call DJ Incredible and find someone to teach you the Pablo Doble and the Irish jig."

Paige and Beth get up from the seats and go to the back office. I sigh in relief.

"Whitchx!"

"Shut up Alex!" I yell.

Catering:
I had to choose to marry someone who's proud of her heritage, I just had to. If it was up to me we'd have fried chicken, mash potatoes, rolls, and a salad bar at this wedding. But nooo, that's not fancy enough and it doesn't show the guests who we really are.

"Jordan, I want traditional food at our wedding," Beth says.

"Then let's have tacos and potatoes," I tell her. "Tacos for the Mexican side of you and potatoes for the Irish side of you."

Oomph! Ok I'll admit that I deserved a pillow to the face for that one.

"You know you deserved that one right?"Alex asks me.

I nod my head. "Yeah I did."

"Food is one of the most important things at the reception," Paige tells us.

"Question, why and how do you know exactly what is important at a wedding and a wedding reception when you're a fashion designer?" I ask.

"Because I am multi talented hon. I know everything."

Alex leans forward. "What am I thinking aboot right now?"

"You want a kit-kat right now," Paige says nonchalantly.

Alex gasps. "She does know everything!"

I shake my head. These two are so ridiculous sometimes, especially Alex.

"I have to be honest with you Beth," I start. "We're already celebrating your heritage with the actual ceremony and the dancing at the reception. How about we leave the food to me?"

"Ok Jordan, what do you want?" Beth asks me.

"I say we hire Chef's Catering," I tell her. "I've already looked at their menu and the Wedding Extravaganza is amazing! They have an imported and domestic cheese platter, fillet mignon, AND a mixed seafood platter that includes jumbo tiger shrimp."

"Oh my God no way!" Alex exclaims. "I LOVE jumbo tiger shrimp!"

I turn to Beth while pointing at Alex. "See! People love jumbo tiger shrimp!"

Beth looks like she's thinking. I'm crossing my fingers hoping she'll say yes. Please say yes, please say yes.
"Ok fine, you can hire them," Beth says.

SUCCESS!

"But the food better be amazing Jordan Johnson! I mean it."

"Of course," I tell her. "Nothing but the best."

Paige checks something off her clipboard. "Alright I'll call Chef's Catering."

Alex and I high-five each other. Jumbo tiger shrimp here we come.

Flowers:
I never really understood why people would freak out about flowers. I mean they're just a bunch of flowers that are going to die about a week later. I'm at the flower shop with right now with Beth and Paige. I personally don't think we need flowers because we're already going to be outside.

"Alright hon," Paige starts. "What exactly is the color scheme for the wedding?"

"Well as you know I will be wearing a royal blue wedding dress that you're designing, of course," Beth says.

"Of course."

"And my bridesmaids will be wearing ice blue."

Yeah, I know what you're thinking. That's a lot of blue.

"Jordan will be wearing white and her bridesmaids will be wearing red so I would like flowers that don't clash with us."

"How about we just get white roses?" I suggest.

Beth and Paige turn around and look at me. Oh I guess they forgot I was here or something.

"I mean white doesn't exactly clash with anything and they're beautiful and they're my favorite kind of flowers."

"So you want white roses everywhere?" Paige asks.

"I don't know about everywhere. I mean you two are really the ones planning the wedding so I don't know the exact details but I would love white roses. I mean yeah red rose means love but that's been done so many times before. Besides white means purity and innocence and that's exactly what this wedding is, two young innocent kids pledging their love to each other."

Beth is nodding her head. "White roses it is then," she says.

"Ok," Paige says and checks something off her clip board.

Wedding Party:
As we're getting closer to the wedding it's time to choose those participating in the wedding including our maids of honor, ring bearer, flower girl, ect. Of course my maid of honor is Alex, seeing as she's my best friend and sister. Beth chose Paige as her maid of honor which actually made Paige shed a tear. It was a very touchingmoment, for them. Once again we're in the condo discussing other members of the wedding parties.

"Alright you need to pick a ring bearer," Paige tells us.

"Obviously Major," I tell her.

Beth looks at me. "Can Major really handle that?" she asks.

"Beth, the boy is three years old. All he has to do is walk down the aisle holding a pillow. I think he can handle that."

"As long as someone makes sure he uses the bathroom before hand," Alex points out.

"Yeah, as long as he tinkles beforehand he'll be good. Plus Major is likes the cutest little boy we know. Who wouldn't want him as their ring bearer?"

"You do have a point there," Beth says. "Ok, Major is the ring-bearer."

"Ok," Paige says and checks something off on her clip board. "Next is flower girl."

"My cousin Shawanda has a six year old daughter," I tell them

"We have a cousin Shawanda?" Alex asks.

"You would know these things if you went to the family reunion."

"Eh, no thanks. I wasn't ready to handle Mom's side of the family. I could barely handle Dad's."

"Do you even talk to Shawanda?" Beth asks me.

I shrug my shoulders. "We're friends on facebook."

Beth is shaking her head. "Nu-uh," she says. "How aboot the flower girl be someone we actually know? Oo, we could ask Juliana if her little sister would like to be flower girl!"

I cross my arms across my chest. "I don't know Juliana's sister."

"But you know Juliana. Plus her sister is really cute."

"Alright fine, call Juliana up."

"Alright so we have the ring bearer and flower girl," Paige says while writing something down. "Now Jordan, who's part of your party?"

"Umm... there's Alex, Amy, my cousin Cindy, Jay."

"Wait… Jay is one of your groomsmen?" Paige asks.

I nod my head. "The dude gave me really good seats to the Laker's game."

Paige shakes her head and sighs. "Ok, go on."

"Umm… Marco and Josh."

"Ok," Paige says and writes something down. "And what aboot yours Beth."

"Well there's you, Juliana, mi prima Gabriela, Samantha, Ellie, and Belinda."

"Who are Samantha and Belinda?" I ask.

"They're my friends from Forever 21 back in Miami," Beth says in a duh tone.

"Alright whatever. Any other positions we need to fill?"

"Nope that's it," Paige says. "Do you two know how your entrances are going to be?"

"Oh we've already discussed this."

"Yes," Beth agrees. "First we'll have the flower girls walking down the aisle throwing white rose petal everywhere. Then each of our wedding parties will walk down the aisle. Then Jordan will have her father walk her down the aisle and once she reaches the altar my father will walk me down the aisle."

"And while I'm walking down the aisle I'm going to have a Peter Stone and his band playing the rock version of the Bridal Chorus."

Beth is looking at me with a serious look on your face. "No you're not," she tells me seriously.

I smile at her. "Hey if you get to celebrate your heritage then I get to play rock and roll during my entrance. Compromise babe, compromise."

"Ugh, fine," Beth groans. "You can have your rock."

I'm nodding my head and smirking. I turn around and Alex and I high-five each other.

"That is going to be one sick entrance," Alex says.

"Hell yeah it is!"

Ya know I didn't think it could be done but I think we actually just planned a whole wedding in less than two months. I think I'm ready for August 14th to come.
