A/N: Aw, I didn't make my four updates for Dec. 27th =( It's because of all that damn research I had to do for the wedding and reception. Eh, whatever.

-Updated 12/28 3:40 am EST

Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi or its characters but I do own some clothes in a laundry basket that I need to fold =)

Ladies and gentlemen I, Jordan Johnson-Perez, am a married woman. Yeah that's right I'm married. Beth and I are married! I just can't stop saying it.

"We're married."

Beth laughs. "Yeah I know," she says. "I believe I was there for the part where we exchanged rings."

"Were you there for the exchanging of vows part as well?" I ask playing along.

Beth looks like she's thinking. "I think so. I'm pretty sure I was there." Beth walks over to me and kisses me. "Your vows were beautiful. They really meant a lot to me."

"And I meant every single word," I tell her. "I also liked your vows. Usually I'm the funny one but today you showed your true funny side."

Beth is smiling triumphantly. "I know I'm very proud of myself."

I wrap my arms around Beth and pull her closer to me.

"Can we just skip the reception?" I ask. "Go straight to the hotel room?" I wiggle my eyebrows.

Beth is laughing and shaking her head. "We can't skip our own wedding reception," she says.

"If I'm not mistaken in Venezuela it is traditional for the newlyweds to sneak away from their own wedding reception. Apparently is brings good luck to the marriage."

"We have to attend the reception first to sneak away." Beth gently pushes me away. "But nice try."

I groan. "I just want to take my wife to a nice hotel and make love to her."

Beth smiles at me."Say it again."

I smile. "My wife."

"I like the sound of that. And as much as I love the sound of you taking me to a hotel and having your way with me I think you're just nervous to show off your dancing skills."

"I'm going to look like an idiot trying to do that dance," I tell her seriously.

"No you're not."

"Yeah ok, we'll see."

I'm changing out of my dress into a more comfortable outfit. Now I know what you're thinking, and no I'm not wearing a tuxedo. I'm wearing a really nice white pant suit. It's actually quite elegant and classy and the shirt I'm wearing is the same color blue as Beth's dress. We already took pictures with bridal parties before I took my dress off so it's all good.

Beth is looking at me now that I have my second outfit on.

"You look nice," she says.

"But…" Because I know there was one.

"But I'll admit that it was nice seeing you in a dress," she confesses.

"One day I will wear a dress again. Just for you. Now come on, party is about to start."

We have the reception set up in a huge tent on the opposite end of where we had the ceremony. In the tent is a huge dance floor because let's be real, you can't do an adequate electric slide on grass. I take Beth's hand in mine and we exit our tent and make our way to the reception tent. I can already hear the music pumping loudly.

Beth and I reach the reception tent and everyone in our bridal parties and our parents are outside waiting.

"There you are!" Alex says, sounding relieved.

"I had to change," I tell her.

"I thought you two crazy kids snuck off to start the honey moon early," Cindy says while winking.

I have no idea what is wrong with this girl. I'm going to need to find some duct tape and tape her mouth shut.

"Well we're here now," Beth says.

Brian pulls out a walkie-talkie from his back pocket. Is anyone else thrown off that a grown man has a walkie-talkie in his tux pocket?

"Incredible, we're ready," he says into the walkie.

"Copy that," DJ Incredible responds. "Starting introductions now."

Different music starts playing as DJ Incredible starts introducing people. As he says each person's name they enter the tent. DJ Incredible calls out Paige and Alex's names and they enter th tent.

"We can still sneak off," I tell Beth.

"Aren't you looking forward to the cake?" she asks me.

"I'd rather eat something else. If ya know what I mean." I wink at her.

Beth laughs and shakes her head. "Unfortunately I know exactly what you meant."

"And now for the couple you've all been waiting for!" Incredible announces. "Give it up for Mrs. Jordan Johnson-Perez and Mrs. Bethany Perez-Johnson!"

Beth and I walk into the tent hand and hand. All the guests are standing up and clapping for us. Beth and I walk to the head table and take our seats at the very center. Brian and Mr. Perez are standing in front of the table with microphones in their hands. The applauding starts to fade.

"Thank you everyone for coming out today!" Brian says.

"Yes, gracias!" Mr. Perez says. "It means a lot to my family and I that you could all come out today to celebrate this wonderful day."

"Yes, this is a wonderful day indeed. When I first met Bethany I asked myself "Who is this girl that's trying to steal my baby girl away from me?""

"And when I met Jordan I thought to myself "This girl is really nice, for an American.""

The crowd starts laughing.

"But in all seriousness I'm happy my mija found someone who loves her and makes her happy," Mr. Perez says.

"Today is a wonderful day for the Johnson and Perez families because today our daughters joined together and now we are one big family!"

Mr. Perez throws an arm around Brian and Brian does the same to him.

"Enjoy the food everyone and have fun!" Mr. Perez says.

Everyone starts clapping, not because that speech was good but because we're all very hungry. Time to eat!

Cake Time!:

It's time to cut the cake. Beth, our guests, and I are heading over to the cake table. Beth and I decided to not go with the traditional fruit cake because I told her that that just sounded disgusting. So instead we decided to go with a classic cake, but with a twist. Beth and I decided to go with a four-tiered vanilla cake topped with off-white fondant. We of course added our own creativity to it. On the bottom tier of the cake there are tiny Venezuelan flags frosted around the whole bottom. On the next tier up there are tiny Mexican flags frosted. On the third tier there are tiny Irish flags frosted, of course. Now when it came to the cake I also wanted to show some of my heritage and individuality. So around the top tier of the cake are little black power fists. That's right! I got black power represented on our cake! Topping off the cake of course are two bride cake toppers, both holding really tiny rainbow flags. I figures since technically this is a gay wedding there should be some gay pride somewhere.

Brian hands the cake cutting knife to me.

"Be careful," he warns me.

"Dad I'm a married woman now," I tell him. "I'm pretty sure I know how to handle a knife."

Ahhh! I just cut off my finger! Ahh! Ha ha, naw I'm just kidding. Beth places her hands over mine. We look up and pose for a couple of pictures. Alright the photographer has enough pictures now. Beth and I push the knife into the cake and make the first cut. Everyone starts clapping. Beth and I cut the first piece out and put in on a plate. We cut a second piece and put that on a plate.

Beth grabs her plate and I grab mine. I pick up my piece of cake and Beth does the same.

"You ready?" she asks.

I nod my head. "Yep."

"Alright, on the count of three. One, two…"

Oh no she did not! I thought we were waiting for three? Everyone is laughing. Beth just totally shoved her piece of cake into my face. Now I have cake all over my mouth. Beth is laughing her ass off right now.

"Not cool," I tell her.

"Aw I'm sorry," she says while still laughing. "Come here."

Beth pulls me in for a kiss. We pull away from the kiss and now Beth has cake chunks all over her mouth.

"Cake!" I hear Major yell.

I turn my head quickly. "Major no!"

Too late! Major just grabbed a fistful of cake.

"Alright everyone!" I yell. "That side of the cake is Major's!"

Everyone starts laughing and Major is just stuffing his face with cake. Well at least we know he likes it.

Toast Time:

Clink! Clink!

Alex is standing up tapping her knife again her glass. Alex has her glass in the air and a microphone in her other hand. I guess it's time for her toast.

"I'd like to make a toast," Alex says.

Everyone stops eating and focuses on Alex.

"Usually this is the time when the best man makes the speech but seeing as there's no best man you folks get to listen to me."

Everyone laughs.

"When Jordan asked me to be her maid of honor I instantly said yes. I mean, how could I say no? Jordan is not only my sister but my best friend. Her family took me in when I had no family of my own and allowed me to become a part of theirs.

"When I agreed to be Jordan's maid of honor she told me there was one rule, I was not allowed to say anything that would embarrass her. Well you think Jordan would know better than to say that because when you tell me not to do something I'm going to do it."

Uh-oh, I have a weird feeling about this.

"When I first met Jordan, like Beth, I thought she was crazy. I ended up being 100% correct."

Once again everyone starts laughing.

"Jordan is probably the most insane person I've ever met and I don't know how Beth is going to put up with that for the rest of their live."

There's more laughter. Well I'm glad everyone thinks I'm apparently crazy.

"But in all seriousness though Jordan and Beth have the kind of love people write movies aboot. They found each other at a younge age, thanks to me."

Wow even at my wedding she feels the need to take credit for something.

"They had to face many challenges and obstacle but they faced them head on and came out stronger than ever. Jordan and Beth are the best people I know. They're sweet, kind, and they care aboot their family and friends. Their love is a kind of love that some people spend their whole lives searching for. A love that is sometimes right in front of your face."

Wait, Alex was looking at Sage, I think, but I think I just saw her glance at Paige. I look at Paige and Paige's entire focus is on Alex right now.

"Beth keeps Jordan grounded and slightly sane which I think we can all be thankful for because let's face it, when someone isn't watching her Jordan can get a bit out of control."

Alex looks down and smiles at me.

"The point I'm trying to make is that although Jordan is crazy and totally insane I'm glad she found someone who can control her insanity, somewhat. To Jordan and Beth, may their love be the one that goes into the history books."

Everyone raises their glasses into the air. "To Jordan and Beth," everyone says at the same time. Everyone takes a sip of whatever they're drinking.

Clink! Clink!

Oh boy, another one? This time it's Paige tapping her knife against her glass. She doesn't have to tap that long since Alex just got done with her speech. Paige places her knife down and picks up the microphone.

"Hi, I'm Paige," she introduces herself.

Yeah because everyone doesn't know who she is by now although she's had countless number of fashion shows in Toronto and she's been on E! a lot.

"I'm Beth's maid of honor," she says and smiles down at Beth. "I've known the happy couple for a long time now. I'm actually the one who helped bring them together."

Oh my God. I roll my eyes. Her and Alex are both ridiculous.

"I've actually known Beth since middle school but we really didn't become friends still high school. Beth is an amazing person. She's funny, smart, nice, and the most amazing friend I've ever had. I can't imagine anyone being on the same level of awesomeness as Beth except for Jordan."

Paige looks at me and smiles. I smile back at her. Ok I'll forgive her for saying she brought me and Beth together, but only because she used the word awesomeness to describe me.

"Jordan and Beth show us what true love is," Paige continues. "It's aboot always being there for that person. It's aboot never giving up in what you believe in because if you give up then what's the point of going on?"

Ok I swore Paige just glanced at Alex and Alex is looking back at her. I'm confused now. Is this speech still about me and Beth or is it now about Paige and undying love for Alex? Paige slightly shakes her head.

Paige raises her glass. "To Jordan and Beth," she says. "Here's to them and their love that could all teach us a lesson."

"To Jordan and Beth!" everyone else repeats after Paige. Some of them sounded a bit unsure though. Yeah that speech started out about me and Beth but somewhere along the way it turned into something else.

I have DJ Incredible hand me the microphone.

"Thanks Alex and Paige for those… wonderful speeches," I say into the microphone. I take Beth's hand in mine and she stands up. "I'd just like to thank everyone on the behalf of Beth and me for coming out today. Now one of the traditions in Ireland is for the couple to make a donation to a charity. Well Beth and I have decided to donate all the money we receive tonight to METRAC, the Metropolitan Action Committee on Violence Against Women and Children."

Everyone is clapping and applauded.

"Thank you for making this possibly," Beth says.

I look at Alex and we lock eyes. We nod our heads and share small smiles, knowing what this means to both of us.

Dance Time!

"And it is now time for the newlyweds to join each other on the dance floor for their first dance as wives," Incredible announces.

Beth and I walk to the middle of the dance floor. I take Beth left hand into my right hand and place my left hand on her waist as she places her right hand on my shoulder.

"You can do this," she says, reassuringly.

I nod my head. "I can do this," I repeat.

The music starts and it's a slow piano song. Beth and I are waltzing. I spin Beth and now she's about five feet away from me. All of the sudden the slow music is interrupted by the sound of trumpets and a classical guitar. We begin the Paso Doble.

After the Paso Doble:

Oh my God. I did it, I actually did it and I didn't fall. Everyone is standing up and dancing. Beth and I bow. Alex walks over to me and hands me a microphone.

"Whew!" I yell into the microphone. "I think I just did enough exercise for a year."

Everyone laughs.

"So as most of you know by now Beth comes from a very blended background," I announce. "We have celebrated many of her cultural traditions throughout the wedding but now it's my term. Now as an African American I don't really have that many traditions when it comes to weddings but there is one thing that is done at every African America/Canadian party. So I'm asking my side of the family to come on the dance floor to help me celebrate this tradition."

Marcia Griffith's "Electric Boogie" starts playing and I swear to God every single black person in here just started clapping and hollering. Before I know it my whole family is on the dance floor, including Major, doing the electric slide. That's right baby, it's electric!

Time to Toss Things!

The reception is starting to wind down. People are started to get tired, including myself.

"Alright ladies it's time to toss the bouquet!" DJ Incredible announces.

Ok like fifty girls and women just rushed to the floor. That scene was scary yet amazing. Beth and I are both standing in front of the DJ booth.

"Alright, Bethany is going to toss her bouquet first," Incredible announces. "If you want it you better fight for it. One…two…three!"

Beth throws her arms up into the air and tosses the bouquet back. Wow that thing is really flying! I see an arm stretch out into the air and catch the bouquet. You can hear the disappointment from the ladies that didn't catch it. The girls move so everyone can see who caught the bouquet. Oh my God, Sage caught the bouquet!

I look over at Alex and she looks as pale as a ghost. I can't help but start laughing.

"It's ok ladies because we have another bouquet to throw," Incredible tells the girls. "Jordan, it's your turn. On the count of three, one…two…three!"

I throw the bouquet over my head with all the power I have in my arms. I turn around and see that bad boy flying in the air. It lands somewhere and once again you hear disappointment from the girls and women who didn't catch it. Once again it's like the red sea parting so we can see who caught the bouquet. Well I'll be damned, Paige caught the bouquet. She looks just as surprised as I am. She looks over at Sage, holds up the bouquet and smirks at her triumphantly. Ok, I didn't know there was a competition going on between them but I shouldn't be that surprised.

Juliana pulls a chair to the center of the dance floor and Beth sits in it. That's right we're doing a garter toss.

"Alright fellas!" Incredible yells into the microphone. "Just because there ain't no groom doesn't mean there isn't going to be a garter toss. So gather around guys, as Jordan tosses the garter."

I'm going to be honest with you, the only reason why I'm doing this is because I wanted to be able to stick my hand up Beth's dress in public without getting frowned at. I step in front of Beth. DJ Incredible starts playing Tone Loc's "Wild Thing" and everyone starts laughing. I start dancing in front of Beth and she's just laughing at me.

I kneel down on the ground and move my hand up her dress. You know this is actually harder than it looks because there is a lot of pouf under here. Found it! I slowly start sliding the garter off her leg. Once the garter is off I stand up and twirl it around my finger.

All my single guy friends are waiting for me to toss it.

"Alright Jordan, on the count of three," Incredible tells me. "One… two… three."

I chuck the garter as far as into the air as I can. I turn around and it's still flying. It clearly goes over the heads of all the guys. Oo! It landed somewhere. The guys move so I can see where it landed.

Oh my God! Too funny! The garter landed right on top of Alex's head. Alex looks at me and she looks slightly pissed but I don't even care because this is just too funny.

"Congratulations to Alex who just caught the garter!" Incredible announces.

Wait a minute. Paige and Sage both caught the bouquets and Alex "caught" the garter. Paige and Sage are both looking at Alex and Alex looks like she just shit her pants. But this doesn't mean anything right? Right?

A/N: Ok before I get any messages or reviews about this I know I skipped some parts of the reception like the father daughter dance. I spent so much time and detail on the actually ceremony that I didn't want to do the same for the reception. Plus I'd figured y'all be happier if I got to the Palex goodness quicker anyway. So I have 16 chapters I need to finish before the clock strikes 12 on January 1st. Can I do it? We will see!
