A million emotions and thoughts were going through Taylor's mind. Were they ready for marriage? Did she love him enough to stay married forever? Where would they live? As tears began streaming down her cheeks, she placed her hand over her heart.
"Oh my God. I don't know what to say," she replied.
Mike then stood up, pulling his girlfriend close. "Please say yes. Like I said, I know we haven't been together very long, but I promise you that I will be the best husband possible. Baby girl, I love you and I have never felt this way about ANYONE before. I'm sorry I don't have a ring for you, but you will get the best one possible. And you will be well taken care of."
"What about our families?"
"If you like we can plan a real wedding, but personally I don't want to wait. We could get married here, and plan a party after. Hell, we could even plan a renewal ceremony later on too."
Taylor nodded. She knew there was a million reasons why they shouldn't get married, or even wait if she did accept. But there was one thing her heart was telling her. Like Mike, she had never felt love for a person like she did at that moment. And she didn't want to mess this up.
"Yes," she finally answered as a smile spread across Mike's face. "And right now!"
"So…I just want to double check, your saying yes?" he asked again as Taylor nodded, smiling. Mike then snatched her in his arms, and twirled her around.
"I love you," he whispered in between quick, but passionate kisses.
"I love you too Mike," Taylor replied.
"So, should we head over to a wedding chapel? We could go now!" Mike suggested as they started walking toward the locker room.
Taylor giggled. "First of all, you need to get dressed and take a shower," she smiled. "I will not marry a man who is stinky!"
"Ok, ok deal. After I get dressed and shower, we are out of here. Now here is my question, should we tell Nic and Melissa? Or just surprise everyone at the same time?"
"Mike, Mel is my best friend," Taylor explained as they stopped in front of the locker room door. "Besides, don't we need two witnesses? I think we should tell them."
Nodding, the WWE superstar opened the door. Just then, Nic and Melissa's make out session was in full sight. "Hey, hey!" Mike exclaimed. "The only two people that should be making out is me and Taylor!"
Nic shrugged. "You know as well as I do that when your in the company of a beautiful woman, it happens!"
"What are you guys doing in here anyway?" Taylor asked. "I figured you guys would have left by now."
"No way! We are all in Vegas!" Nic exclaimed. "It's time to go have some fun. Mizanin, go get dressed and we'll go do something!"
Mike & Taylor exchanged looks. "We thought of something to do tonight, and it also involves you two."
"What's that?" Melissa asked.
"Well…" Taylor started, "Mike has proposed and we are getting married! In fact as soon as he gets dressed, we are heading toward a wedding chapel."
"And we want you guys to be the best man and maid of honor," he added.
To say Nic and Melissa were stunned was simply an understatement. Silence fell over the room as both couples exchanged looks with one another.
"Taylor, come with me," Melissa finally stated as she pulled her friend from the room.
Once the door shut, Nic turned toward his friend. "Your getting married?! And you've known this girl for how long?"
"Nic, don't try to change my mind," Mike stated as he got his shower stuff and a change of clothes. "I love Taylor."
"Look I'm not going to try and tell you that you shouldn't love her. Hell, I told Melissa early in our relationship too that I loved her. But are you sure your ready for marriage?"
"Listen, I don't have all the answers Nic. All I know is that I love Taylor, and I want to be with her. Now, I am going to get in the shower and start getting ready. You can either come, be my friend and best man…or you can still be my friend and not come."
Outside in the hallway, Melissa was having a similar conversation with Taylor. "So you guys have been together nonstop for the last two weeks, but Taylor what is going to happen when you go back to work, and Mike stays on the road? And the RAW roster is gearing up for a European tour in a few weeks, so he won't be home for like a good 2 weeks," Melissa said. "And Mike just won the championship belt. That also means he will have more media appearances and not so many days off."
Taylor sighed. "Melissa, what do you want me to say? First of all, you and Nic are the ones who set Mike and I up on that blind date. And you of all people know what I am going to go through- Nic just gave up the Intercontinental championship."
"Yes I know, and that was hard period for us. Remember how I thought he was messing around, and our talk earlier? Whose house are you going to live in? Are you going to keep your job? And do your families even know?"
"Mel, these are all great questions and I will admit that I don't have the answers to some. No, our families don't know- we are surprising everyone. And yes I am going to keep my job as a nurse. Now, Mike is going to be out any minute and we are going to head toward a wedding chapel. I am leaving it up to you as to whether or not you join us."
Before Melissa could answer, the locker room door opened and Mike and Nic appeared. Exchanging smiles, Mike wrapped his arm around Taylor's waist. "So are you ready?"
Taylor nodded. "Absolutely," she said as they quickly kissed. She then turned toward their friends. "Will you guys be joining us?"
Nic and Melissa exchanged looks, and she smiled. "Of course we are coming," Melissa said. "Nic and I wouldn't miss it for the world. Besides, no one can be the best man and maid of honor that we can be."
"Thanks Mel," Taylor said as she hugged her friend.
About 20 minutes later, the four friends were in the Little White Wedding Chapel's parking lot. After Mike and Taylor picked out rings and a marriage license, they were standing in front of the minister. As they joined hands, Taylor smiled as Mike winked at her.
"Do you Michael take Taylor as your wife?" he asked.
"Absolutely!" Mike replied.
The minister then turned toward Taylor. "Do you Taylor take Michael as your husband?"
She nodded. "You bet I do!"
After exchanging rings, Mike and Taylor were both literally jumping up and down as they waited for the minister to finish. "I announce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."
Mike wasted no time in dipping his new bride and wiggling his new eyebrows. He then leaned down and passionately kissed her. "I love you," he whispered.
Taylor smiled. "I love you too Mike."
