The next weeks were spent planning and collecting things needed for their wedding Ceremony. It was a lot of work to get all of the things that needed to be done in such a short amount of time. But thinks to Damon and Bonnie doing team work along with the help of their friends a lot of the things that needed to be done were getting done.
Nine days before the wedding Damon and Bonnie packed some luggage and bags and headed down to Mystic Falls where the last touches needed to be done before their wedding. They brought along Orion with them because Stefan and Elena, well more like Elena had volunteered to watch over the dog while Damon and Bonnie would go out on their vacation for eight days. They brought everything that Orion needed like his water and food bowls, dog food, a leash, a few doggie toys, and some poop bags. Along for the ride in the back seat Orion stuck his head out of the window enjoying the wind in his face.
They pulled up to the Salvatore boarding house at one' o clock in the afternoon. Bonnie got of the car and got a couple of her luggage bags and headed towards the front door. She rang the door bell. Less than a minute later Elena opened the door. The two friends hugged each other.
"Bon come on in." Elena said taking a step to the side.
Bonnie walked in with her luggage.
Stefan came into the room. "I've got that for you." He said helping her bring her luggage in.
:"Thanks Stefan." Bonnie told him
"How was your drive?" Elena asked
"Traffic was a real pain in the ass." Bonnie answered "I'm just glad to be here."
Damon stepped in behind Bonnie leading Orion on a leash. He saw his younger brother. "Hi little brother."
"Hey Damon." Stefan said giving his brother a fist bump.
Elena's eyes fell down to the Chocolate lab. "This must be Orion."
Damon unhooked Orion's leash from his collar. "Yes this is him."
"Oh my God he's so cute." Elena beamed
Orion's tail wagged furiously, very happy and excited to see the 'new' humans before him in Stefan and Elena.
Elena patted her knees with both hands. "Come here buddy.!"
Orion happily went up to Elena to check her out.
"Nice Dog." Stefan commented.
"Thanks." Bonnie said "Thanks for watching him for us."
Damon watched as Elena petted and snuggled with the dog. "I have a feeling that he'll be fine here while we are gone."
"Don't worry." Elena said "Stefan and I will make sure that he's well taken care of right Stefan."
"Sure." Stefan said his girlfriends reaction to the dog causing him to grin.
Damon gestured to his brother. "I have his things in the car, can you help me get them?"
Stefan nodded his head. "I'll help." The brothers went outside towards Damon's car.
Elena turned her attention to Bonnie. "Caroline is coming by later says that we have things to do for the wedding."
Bonnie laughed knowing how Caroline was. "I can just imagine."

The next couple of days were spent adding more touches and things needed for the ceremony. Every one was in a joyful and excited mood in anticipation for the wedding. A back yard BBQ was held at the Salvatore house. Those that were attending read like the very small guest list. Damon and Bonnie of course were there. Stefan, Elena, Caroline, Tyler, Alaric, Caroline's Mom, Matt, Jeremy, Caleb, and Mercedes were the ones who were at the BBQ. Smells of meat grilling filled the air as music floated over the back yard from the radio that Matt had turned on. Tyler and Alaric manned the grill , cooking up Burgers Hot Dogs, and some chicken. The women had made the side dishes and all sorts of drinks were offered like Soda, Lemonade, Kool-aide and beer.
It was a nice laid back atmosphere among friends. Bonnie excused herself from a table were she was talking to Elena, Caroline, and Mercedes to go inside and retrieve something from the kitchen. Damon was laughing it up about something with Stefan, Caleb, and Matt. Caroline's Mom was next to the grill with Alaric and Tyler talking to them about something.
Bonnie walked into the kitchen grabbing what she needed. She turned and nearly ran into Jeremy's chest. Bonnie took a step back.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you there." Jeremy said
"Do you need something Jeremy?" Bonnie asked
Jeremy nodded his head. "I need to talk to you."
Bonnie frowned. "Look Jer if you came here to tell me more negative things about Damon."
Jeremy shook his head. "That's not what I came here for, I needed to talk to you because this is something that I should have done long time ago."
"What would that be?" Bonnie asked
"I came here to apologize." Jeremy said looking her right in the eye. "About how I reacted on Thanksgiving to you and Damon being together."
Bonnie could tell that he meant it. "That takes a lot for you to man up and apologize to me."
"You deserve it. I acted like as asshole." Jeremy said sincerely "I had no right to say the things that I did and I wanted to let you know that I'm truly sorry for that."
"I appreciate you apology." Bonnie said not wanting to hold grudges especially on the week of her wedding. 'I accept your apology."
Jeremy felt relief at those words. "Damon makes you happy and I can tell that he loves you, so I wish you luck."
"I wish you luck too." Bonnie said
"I'm going to go and apologize to Damon, but I wanted to tell you first." Jeremy said "I hope that we can still be friends."
Bonnie smiled. "Of course we can still be friends Jer."
Jeremy nodded his head and went in search of Damon to apologize.

A couple of nights before the wedding the girls were hanging out with the guys. Damon, Stefan, Tyler. Jeremy, Matt, Alaric, and Caleb were all partying together. Damon enjoyed alcohol and hanging out with his brother and friends.
Matt looked around the place. "Where are the strippers?"
"There aren't going to be any strippers." Stefan said
"You kidding me man." Matt exclaimed
Damon peeped over his glass of whiskey. "If you want strippers go to a damn strip club."
"That sucks." Tyler joked.
"How do you know that the girls don't have strippers at their party?" Matt asked
Damon arched a brow. "Because if any man shakes his junk in Bonnie's face he might find himself missing a ball or two."
Matt was confused by Damon's response.
Caleb just patted Matt on the shoulder. "It's a vampire thing man."
"So Damon these are you last nights as a unmarried man." Alaric said
"Yeah you sure you not going to get cold feet?" Tyler asked
Damon looked at all of his friends. "No I'm not going to get cold feet, I'm going to get married to that Witch."
Alaric lifted his glass and all of the others followed. "In that case to the soon to be married Damon Salvatore."
They all muttered in agreement and drunk down their alcohol.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Across town the ladies were having their own party at the same time.
"No Strippers?" Caroline asked
"None." Bonnie answered.
Elena shook her head. "You know that Damon would beat down any man who nears Bon in any kind of sexual way."
Mercedes nodded in agreement. "That's just have vampires are about their women."
"How do you know that he's not having strippers." Caroline said
"Because I'd kick her ass for touching him." Bonnie said
Caroline's brows furrowed. "What?"
"They're possessive of each other that's all you need to know." Elena said to Caroline.
Mercedes took a sip of her Apple Martini. "So you looking forward to becoming Mrs. Salvatore?"
Bonnie smiled. "Never looked forward to anything in my entire life."
The females had a blast at the party.

On the night before the wedding Bonnie went over to Caroline's house. Since the saying was it was bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding. Bonnie decided to say over at Caroline's to play it safe. She laid on the bed in the guest room and went to sleep. Soon she found herself dreaming.
Bonnie dreamt that she was on a ship in the Bahamas as it sailed along clear blue waters. She was at the bow of the ship as the warm air whipped through her hair. She felt arms wrapped around her waist from behind and his familiar scent scenes in though she was dreaming.
"I feel a Titanic Jake and Rose moment coming on here." Damon said from behind her.
"Damon." Bonnie said turning to face him.
Damon studied her even in dream land she looked beautiful and full of life. "Sleeping well?"
Bonnie's dream shifted moving them to a large green field with the sun shining over them. "Yes but what are you doing here."
"We can come and go into each other's dreams I thought that you knew that." Damon told her.
Bonnie folded her arms over her chest. "It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding."
Damon chuckled. "I believe that goes for the day of and we are really not seeing each other I'm just in your dream."
Bonnie sighed. "I'm just so nervous."
"That's not nervous like I 'm not sure I want to do this nervous is it?" Damon asked
"No." Bonnie smiled "It's the I have butterflies in my stomach and can't want to marry the man that I love type of nervous."
Damon grinned. "Oh that goes for the both of us."
"Damon Salvatore with butterflies?" Bonnie was amused
"Yes but only for you." Damon told her. "I'm going to be your husband."
"You bet that you are!" Bonnie exclaimed
Damon wrapped his arms around her. "I can't wait."
"I'm going to marry you." Bonnie told him. They shared as kiss and it felt so real even in her dream.
Damon stepped away from her and did a wink and a wave before disappearing as he exited from her dream.
Bonnie had sweet dreams for the rest of that night.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
While Bonnie was dreaming Jerry was up back at the apartment that they shared together in a foul mood. Grace had told him that he had to wait before she could help him with his plans to get Bonnie. Which pissed Jerry off because time was edging closer and closer to when she would be getting married to Damon. Jerry didn't know what angered him more the fact that Bonnie was in love with Damon or the fact that she was constantly fucking him. Giving her body to a creature like Damon Salvatore. How many times had she and Damon fucked Jerry wondered like some jealous girlfriend.
Jerry remembered the nights that Damon had spent over at the apartment and the sounds of sexual activity coming from Bonnie's room between her and Damon. It wasn't just the sex that got Jerry jealous and mad, but it was the fact that it sounded like Damon was giving Bonnie some good fucking from the sounds coming out of her room. How she would moan and call out Damon's name over and over again it made Jerry want to go into that bedroom and force Damon of her. It made him wish that she was calling out his name and not Damon's.
Richard who was a friend of Jerry's looked over at his pouting friend. "Would you stop acting like the world is going to end tomorrow."
Jerry pouted. "My roommates getting married tomorrow."
Richard had seen Jerry's roommate around campus, the cameral skinned, green eyed beauty with a knock out body. Richard who went through women like toilet paper thought about asking her for a date but she seemed like the type that would throw a drink in his face for asking. Plus he saw her around that man called Damon, the man who seemed like the 'flirt with or touch my woman and I'll break your neck' type. So Richard thought better of it and just chased after other women.
"So you have a crush on her, big deal." Richard said
"I don't have a crush, I love that woman." Jerry said
Richard shook his head. "Really you love her, Come on man why settle for chasing after one woman when there are a million in the sea? Play the field like I do."
Jerry stomped his foot. "I only want Bonnie."
"Settle down Jerry." Richard said "Why are you going after a woman who's getting married in the first place."
"Doesn't matter, I'm going to be with her." Jerry said
"How do you suppose that?" Richard asked
Jerry looked across the room. "I have a plan."
"A plan?" Richard asked
"I'm going to get Bonnie to go with me." Jerry said
Richard laughed "You better step up your game because she must be serious about the Dude she's getting married to."
Jerry scowled "Trust me I will. There's a secret about Bonnie."
"Secret?" Richard questioned
Jerry nodded his head in a way he felt like Bonnie was betraying him so that was why he was telling Richard. "She's a witch."
Richard blinked his eyes. "Excuse me did you just say your roommates a Witch?"
"You heard right." Jerry said "Bonnie Bennett is a real life witch."
"Either you're joking or your high on some drugs." Richard said
"I'm serious." Jerry said
Richard rolled his eyes and laughed. "Sure what does she do ride her broom sticks at night?"
Jerry got out his cell phone and clicked to video of a time that he had taped Bonnie doing her magic without her noticing. She had been too focused on what she was doing. "I have proof."
Richard took the cell phone and his eyes widened at what he saw. Jerry's roommate sitting in her bedroom eyes closed and levitating objects and items around her. Suddenly the candles that were unlit around her, sparked flames without anyone putting a match to it or physically lighting it. The candles had just lit out of thin air. "What the fuck?"
"Told you so." Jerry said
Richard looked up. "This isn't any trick with the camera is it?"
"No it's not." Jerry said
"So she's using magic to make things float and to light candles?" Richard was taken aback.
"Yes." Jerry said
Richard's eyes bugged out. "You have to go to the Media with this shit, how much would they pay to show the public that witches are real?"
Jerry yanked the cell phone away from his friend. "I'm not going to the media and neither are you."
"But." Richard protested
"You have no proof besides the one I just showed you and I'll deny everything if you tell them that I showed you that she's a witch." Jerry said "Besides most of the world still thinks that witches are not real and will think that you're crazy for even suggesting."
Richard sighed. "I won't say anything."
Jerry pocketed his cell phone. "I'm taking Bonnie away."
"Taking as in kidnapping?" Richard asked
"Just promise me that you won't tell anyone." Jerry said
Richard thought about it, Jerry's roommate was no concern to him. "I promise."
"One more thing." Jerry said
"What." Richard said
"Bonnie's boyfriend is a vampire." Jerry confessed
Richard waved his hands in front of him. "Wait, Wait, Wait so vampires exist too?"
Jerry nodded his head. "They do, so it's important that you stay inside."
"For what?" Richard asked
"Vampires can't come inside of you home if not invited." Jerry explained. "Damon, even his brother might come after you for answers."
Richard's eyes bugged out. "What so vampires are going to be after me, because your hot for one of their women?"
"Just telling to be to careful." Jerry said
Richard sighed. "Just fucking great."
