I do not own DWP I have just borrowed the characters for inspiration.

I hope this is not to hard to follow there are back and forth dialog.

It is almost time. :) I hope everyone is dressing in their best couture for the main event!

I hope you will enjoy it.

The night before the wedding the area surrounding the Fountain of the Angel in Central Park was transformed.

The Security Firm had blocked off an extensive area around the fountain and had personnel posted all around. There was only one way in and that was by invitation only. The air space above the fountain was also confirmed as closed.

On top of Bethesda Terrace two linen tents with sides were erected, one at the top of each stair case. In each tent was a chase to rest on and everything the two brides would need as they got ready for their wedding. There was a large vanity with enough space for the make-up and hair utensils. There was an area were water and snacks could be stored.

Chairs were set up in the blocked area at the foot of the stairs and led up to the fountain. They semi-circled around the altar. The altar was placed up on a platform. It was backed by two white Fazioli Grand Pianos facing each other. In front of the pianos was a white lattice panel with an overhang top. On the other side of the fountain and on the sides were three large tents without the sides all connected.

The inside roofs of the tents and all the support pole were strung with little white lights. White lights also adorned the lattice panel and hung in strands down the sides of the tents on top of the terrace. The staircases leading to the top of the terrace was also lined with the little lights.

Early in the morning Emily was skirting the area with the wedding planner, John, and Patricia in tow. Thanks to all the precise planning and constant double checking throughout the months things seemed to be going smoothly and on time. Emily did not know what to do without a crisis.

Later that morning Andy was awakened in her hotel room at the Ritz-Carleton to her phone beeping a text had come through. She slowly opened an eye and picked up the phone. One look at the sender and she smiled.

"Good morning sweetheart. Time to get up and start getting ready for our special day. I missed your warm body lying next to me so much last night. We should have gotten married at the crack of dawn not six o'clock at night. I love you."

There was a knock at the door. "Room service." Andy looked puzzled thinking I do not remember ordering room service. She got up and slipped on a robe. She opened the door and the attendant rolled a small table into the room. On it was a single red rose. Andy smiled.

"Complements of Miranda Priestly." Andy thanked the gentleman.

As she sat down to eat a knock came at the door. Andy got up and walked to the door. "If that is you Miranda I am not looking and you are not coming in."

"Andy it's your Mother." Anna called.

Andy opened the door and let her Mother in. "Sorry Mom." Andy hugged and kissed her.

Anna giggled. "I came to make sure you had breakfast but I see you already ordered."

Andy shook her head smiling, "Miranda."

Andy's Mother smiled. "She does have a knack for detail. No wonder she is so good at her job."

Andy grinned and nodded. "I can't believe it is finally happening. I am so excited!" Andy's Mom hugged her. When she released her Daughter she was crying. "Oh Mom don't start so early. I can't have puffy eyes for tonight."

Anna nodded and wiped her face. "I just can't believe my Baby is getting married." Andy laughed.

There came a pounding at the door. Andy stood up, "I believe I know who is behind that door."

As she opened it two screaming redheads leaped into her arms. The girls were grinning from ear to ear. "Today you officially become our Mom!"

Andy kneeled down and hugged the girls tight, tears forming in her eyes. "I love you girls."

Anna started crying again. Cassidy looked at Andy and Anna and shook her head. "Happy tears are everywhere today."

Andy looked at Cassidy. "Everywhere?"

"Yea here, in Mom's room, everywhere." Andy smiled.

Excuse me a second. Andy went and picked up her phone and typed. "I love you now, tomorrow, and forever." And sent it off.


Miranda had been restless all night. Andréa and her stupid ideas. How did that girl expect her to sleep in an empty bed? Miranda was looking out the large window in her room. She had never been this skittish before her previous marriages even the one with the girl's Father.

A knock came to the door separating her room from the adjoining one. "Mommy can we come in?"

Miranda opened the door. "Yes Bobbseys." The girls ran into the room and jumped on Miranda's bed. "You two are up awfully early."

"We are hungry!" Miranda laughed. She picked up the hotel phone and ordered them breakfast, a thought came to her and she ordered breakfast for Andréa too. "Mommy when do we get to go to the park and get ready for the wedding?"

"Girls you have a long wait ahead of you."

The girls looked glum. "What are we going to do until then?"

Miranda laughed, "Good question."

A knock came to Miranda's main door. Caroline went to open the door and in walked Sarah. "Good morning Caroline."

"Grandma!" Caroline gave her a hug. "We get to have room service with Mom want to eat with us?"

Sarah smiled at the child. "I would love to." Sarah walked over to Miranda and hugged her. "Good morning Baby girl." Sarah stepped back. "You are looking radiant." Miranda smiled. Sarah had tears in her eyes. "I am so glad I get to be here for your wedding."

Cassidy was laughing. "Grandma why are you calling our Mom baby?"

Sarah went to the girl and gave her a hug. "Because to me she will always be my baby just like you will always be her baby."

Cassidy shook her head. "No one is going to call me baby when I am old." Miranda broke out laughing.

Another knock came to the main door. "Room service."

"I'll get it." Yelled Cassidy.

Miranda closed her eyes and sighed, "Girls of all days can you please not yell?"

"Sorry Mom." The girls replied in unison.

Cassidy opened the door and a table was wheeled into the room. "Finally." Exclaimed Cassidy. "I am starving."

Half way through the meal another knock came to the door. "Goodness it is like Grand Central Station here." Miranda got up and opened the door.

Nigel and Emily were standing outside. Miranda motioned them in.

"Well, Miranda how do you feel? You ready to run yet?" Miranda smirked at Nigel.

"Bite your tongue young man." Came from Sarah.

Emily scowled, "Miranda we just wanted to let you know that everything is on time. The area around the fountain is looking beautiful." Miranda smiled. "The dresses, suits and accessories have been sent to everyone's room, and you and Six's gowns are ready to be taken to the park."

Miranda nodded and went to look out the window. "What am I going to do all day? Why did I agree to an evening wedding?"

Nigel laughed, and Emily spoke up. "I have taken care of that. The spa belongs to us all day. They will be giving manipedis and facials to us all. There are two separate rooms blocked for you and Andy to get your manipedis, facials, and massages. After that you should come back to the room and take a nap."

Miranda turned around. "Whose idea was this?"

"Mine." Emily squeaked.

Miranda smiled. "Thank you Emily it is a perfect way to pass the time."

Emily blushed. She still had a hard time excepting complements from Miranda.

"We're done eating. We want to go see our other Mom." The girls announced.

Miranda turned to the twins tears in her eyes.

"I can take them to Andy's room." Offered Emily. Miranda nodded. "Girls give your Mom a kiss then let's go."

Miranda bent down to give each girl a hug and kiss.

Caroline stopped, "Mommy why are you and Grandma crying? Is this not supposed to be a happy day?"

"Yes my love. It is the happiest day of my life after the day you and your sister were born. Now go off and see Andréa but do not pester her."

Caroline hugged her Mother. "O.K."

As they left even Nigel had tears in his eyes.

"Now if you all will excuse me I need to take a shower. Nigel could you take my Mother, check on my Brother, and see he gets breakfast?"

"Sure Miranda." Nigel held out his arm to Sarah.

As Miranda escorted the last person out of her room she heard her phone ping. Miranda brought the text up and smiled running her finger over the message.


In the park work was continuing on the wedding venue. People who came to the park, to the fountain were quickly turned away and told the entire area was shut down even the lake was closed. So far the security team was not having any difficulty with the visitors and so far no paparazzi had showed up. It seemed the strict anonymity with the planning was working. It was a wonder as every high-profile designer and model along with top government officials and movie, TV, and singing stars had converged on New York. Caterers were showing up to make sure the areas for the food and cake were being set up as ordered. Valle parking had been set up by cording off the area next to the access area to the fountain and the nearest parking lot had been blocked.

Andy was standing in the shower her hands were running over her body. God how she wanted to be with Miranda. Trying to fall asleep last night was agonizing. When she finally did fall asleep all she did was dream about making love to Miranda all night. Now all she wanted to do was see her. Andy got out of the shower and wrapped herself in one of the large thick towels. As she walked out to the sitting area a knock came at her door. She looked out the peep-hole and Emily was standing there.

Andy opened the door. "Emily what are you doing here so early?"

Emily stepped inside. "You are going to the spa. You are in need of a massage, facial, and manipedi." Andy stood in shock. "Bloody hell Andy get dressed or we will be late. We do not want to run into Miranda."

Andy giggled. She hurriedly dressed and followed Emily out the door. You would have thought they were in some spy movie as Emily checked every corner for signs of Miranda before proceeding.

Andy was face down on the massage table as she typed out a message. Miranda's phone vibrated on the table next to her. She looked at the phone and smiled. Bringing up the message she almost laughed.

"I believe I am in heaven. Cancel the wedding I am not getting off this table."

"Darling we have spent a lot of money on this so I suggest you get your pretty little ass off that table and run to the park."

Andy looked at the returned message and did laugh out loud. After all the pampering both women were able to go back to their rooms and nap before the big event.


While the two brides were getting their beauty sleep the finishing touches were place at the venue. Tables and chairs were placed in the main tent surrounding the temporary dance floor. The band/orchestra were setting up. Small twinkling tea lights had been placed in the fountain. The tables were dressed and Roses, Freesia, and Lilies were placed everywhere. Flowers were added to the trailing lights on the tents on top of the terrace as well as the lattice, and all the supporting poles for the tents. Vines with flowers were attached to the overhand of the lattice that trailed down in the air. At a place of importance beside the lattice was a small ceramic St. Bernard with four golden lockets hung around its neck, Patricia. The scene was set and Emily was happy how it all presented, and she was able to go back to the hotel and get dressed.


Miranda was sitting in her hotel room awaiting the twins to arrive when a knock came on the main door. Miranda opened it to see her Brother. Miranda hugged him tightly.

"Hey Sister. How are you holding up?" Michael gave Miranda a hug and kiss.

"I am a nervous wreck. Michael I have never been this nervous in my entire life."

Michael laughed. "This means a lot to you."

Miranda was smiling but there were tears in her eyes. "I never thought anything like this would ever happen to me. I do not know if it is fair but I have everything."

Michael hugged her again then pulled away and wiped her tears. "Fair or not you have it, enjoy it, live it, and do not let it get away."

"Michael, I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for Andréa and me. There is not words to express how happy we are." She laid her body into her Brothers for support.

Michael patted her. "Say no more Sis. I am happy I was able to give you and Andy such a special present. I need to go I will see you at the top of the terrace." He bent to kiss Miranda then left.


In Andy's suite Serena and the girls from Runway were doing the hair and make-up for Anna, Jenny, and Jana.

Andy was relaxing on the couch watching everything come together. "Momma, you look beautiful."

Anna nervously fingered the diamond necklace she had on. "Andy please tell me this is all costume jewelry."

"I hope it isn't." Shouted Jenny. Andy laughed.

"Ladies I can testify the diamonds are all real including the ones in the cufflinks." Offered Nigel.

"Oh my, do you really think we should be wearing them? What if we lose them?" Anna asked nervously.

Andy giggled got up and went over to her Mother and gave her a hug. "Mom don't think about it like that. Think I am wearing these beautiful jewels, a beautiful gown, and I am beautiful. Daddy is going to fall in love with you all over again when he sees you."

Jenny went over to Nigel. "How much are these worth?"

Nigel laughed. "I never ask that question but they worth enough to have guards around to protect them."

Jana gasped. Nigel and Andy laughed.

Serena announced, "We are all done." She picked up her phone and dialed. "Hey Babe, group number one is all done and ready to go."

Just then a knock came at the door. "Father and Brother of the Bride are here let's get this party started!"

Andy was laughing as she opened the door. She stood back, then stepped outside the door, looked down one side of the hall then the other. "I don't see my Father or Brother just two very handsome looking men at my door."

Tom punched Andy in the arm.

"Oww. Mom Tom hit me!" She yelled.

Richard started laughing. "Anna we did something wrong. One kid is married the other one is getting married and they are still fighting like three-year olds."

Jana laughed as she watched the men come in. "OH MY GOD, Tom. You do clean up well." She went over and they kissed, and kissed, and kissed.

"Please," yelled Jenny, "do you have to?"

Richard was still laughing as he went in search of his wife. "Anna." Richard was staring.

Andy was smiling. She went over and grabbed her Father's arm. "I told you Mom." Anna blushed. Richard bent and softly kissed his wife.

Emily walked in the door and surveyed the group and nodded. "O.K. let's get going. We need to get you to the park and in your tent before Miranda gets there. Serena is going to go do the twins, Bonnie and Sarah's hair and make-up, then she will come with them. Emily escorted the group out the door and in the elevator. Roy was waiting outside with the limo. He motioned the two men in then helped the women. Emily went in after the family.

"Emily you are looking radiant today. It must be the glow from that little girl of yours. How is she doing?"

Emily smiled unexpectedly. Now a days it seem when anyone mentioned Isabella she had to smile. It was spontaneous. "She is perfect. You will see her at the wedding her Nanny is bringing her."

"And Andy you are just beaming." Roy held out a tiny box and gave it to Andy. "This is for you open it now."

Andy smiled. "Roy you shouldn't have."

"Open it."

Andy giggled "O.K." She opened the box and sitting on the cotton pillow was a shiny penny. Andy looked at him puzzled.

Roy pointed to the coin, "minted in 1985 the year me and the Mrs. got married. We have been married for thirty happy years now. Put it in your shoe for the wedding it will give you good luck."

Andy looked up with tears in her eyes and hugged Roy. "Thank you."

"Now, now, Andy no tears today." He wiped them away. "Now get in and let's get you to the park."


Miranda and Bonnie were helping the girls get dressed while Sarah looked on. Serena was on her way to do their hair and they were even going to get to wear make-up. They were so excited they were jumping up and down making it impossible to get them dressed.

"If you girls do not settle down you are staying here." Miranda pointed out.

"But we can't Mom who will p …" Caroline exclaimed.

Cassidy punched Caroline in the arm. "Shhhh!"

Miranda looked at the girls and shook her head. "You will act like polite young ladies or you will stay here. If you tear your dresses or lose any of your jewelry you will be grounded for life!"

"Yes Mom." Both girls replied.


Andy's parents were in awe as they pulled into the park. There were plenty of people standing around the main entrance trying to find out what was going on but when they got to the fountain is was quiet. Roy got out and helped everyone out of the car.

Andy turned around, "you are going to be at the wedding Roy aren't you?"

"Oh yes Andy I would not miss it for the world. My wife is bringing the children later."

Andy smiled. As the grouped rounded the corner at the base of the steps Andy stopped dead in her tracks. "OH MY GOD! Emily. It is breathtaking." Andy started to tear up again.

"Blood hell Andy. You need to stop crying."

Andy laughed and hugged Emily. "Thank you." Luckily Anne was there to photograph the whole scene.

Miranda jumped at the sound of her phone, a text had come through. "Babe, you are not going to believe how magnificent the park looks. Emily and Serena deserve a huge bonus! It is almost time! I miss you so much. I love you."


A knock came to the door. "Serena's here!" Cassidy jumped up and flung the door open.

"Well, hello Cassidy a little excited are you?" Serena giggled. Miranda rolled her eyes. "Erin, Jane you start working on Bonnie and Sarah I will try to tie these two down and get started on them."

Miranda sat back in the chair and sipped on her coffee watching the pro's at work. Nigel pulled the boxes of jewels out and sat the two diamond headbands next to the girls. Serena worked magic on the mops of curly red hair. Once she placed the diamond headbands on Miranda smiled. "Oh girls look at you. You look so grown up with your make-up on." There were tears in her eyes.

"Oh Mom not again!" Exclaimed Cassidy. Serena smiled, tapped Cassidy on the shoulder and pointed to her Grandmother. Cassidy slapped her hand up to her face. "Not you to Grandma?"

"O.K. everyone no more tears you will ruin your make-up." Serena looked around then announced. "O.K. time for us to go." They packed up their gear and headed for the elevator.

Roy had made it back with plenty of time to spare. Michael had arrived downstairs long before the rest of the family. He joked with Roy that he was the lucky one all he had to put on was some robes. He helped the group into the limo and Miranda was last to get in. Before she got in Roy handed her a tiny box. Miranda looked at it.

"For you Miranda open it." Miranda was flabbergasted. She lifted the tiny lid and on the cotton pillow was a shiny penny. Miranda picked it up and laid it in her hand. Roy pointed to the date. "1985 the year I got married. My wife and I have been together for thirty happy years. Wear it in your shoe today and it will bring you luck."

Miranda looked up at Roy. "You have never given me anything before my other weddings."

Roy nodded. "This one is special. This one will last. You finally found the love of your life."

Miranda's eyes started to tear. "Now, now Miranda this is not a day for tears but smiles."

She nodded and wiped her eyes. "Thank you Roy."

The limo stopped at the fountain and Roy helped the family out. Emily was waiting for them and led them to the base of the far stairs. Miranda turned and took in the view. "Emily, it is perfect." Emily almost fainted.

Serena giggled. "I told you she would love it." Emily glared at her love.

Miranda looked over at the other tent. "Andréa is here?"

"Oh no Miranda I don't care if you fire me you are not going over there." Emily stood with her arms crossed in front of Miranda.

Miranda snickered and started up the steps.

Once in the tent Caroline pulled a small box out of the linen bag she carried and took it over to her Mother. "Mommy, this is from Cassidy and me." Miranda looked down at her child and almost started crying again. She caressed Caroline's cheek, bent down and kissed it.

"Hurry Mommy open it." Came Cassidy.

Miranda smiled and lifted the lid of the box and pulled out a blue laced garter. Miranda grinned. "And where did you get this?"

"Kara helped us one day after school."

"Yea we looked it up on the internet. You are supposed to have something new, something old, something borrowed, and something blue." Cassidy chimed in.

"Yea." Caroline added. "Your dress is something new, your jewelry is something borrowed, the penny Roy gave you is something old."

"And the garter is something blue." They both said in unison.

Miranda got down on her knee. "Come here you two." She hugged them tight and kissed them. "I love you so much. I love my garter."

"O.K. girls it is time for you to leave. Serena needs to do your Mother's make-up and we need to get her dressed. You two need to go under the terrace with Bonnie and Andy's family to wait for the wedding to start."

"O.K. Emily. Bye Mom, we will see you soon." The girls left the tent but they did not go under the terrace they had one more thing to do.

They sneaked around the tent and over to Andy's. In front Cassidy called out, "Andy? Can we see you?"

"Girls are you alone?"

"Yes, we promise, besides Emily said she would tie Mom up if she tried to come over here." Laughed Cassidy.

Andy was laughing. "Come on in." The girls walked in.

"I thought Cassidy and Caroline were coming I only see to very beautiful grown up red heads."

The girls were laughing. "Grandpa it is us. We just have make-up and jewelry on." They announced in unison.

Richard looked shocked. "Well I'll be."

Cassidy pulled a small box out of the linen bag and took it over to Andy. "This is from Caroline and me." Andy took the box from the child and smiled.

"Open it up hurry! Emily doesn't know we are here."

Andy giggled as she took the lid off and pulled the garter out. The twins explained to Andy the meaning of the garter and Richard roared. Andy bent and hugged both girls and kissed them. "I love it. I never thought about getting one. Thank you girls. I love you."

The twins smiled brightly and nodded. "We have to go see you later Andy."

Andy picked up her phone and typed. "The girls just gave me a surprise for you to find tonight." And she sent it off. Miranda jumped when her phone beeped. Seeing who it was from, she smiled brightly and picked it up. As she read the message she started laughing.

She returned a text. "I have a surprise for you to find too."

Andy held the phone waiting for a reply. She laughed as she read Miranda's message. "I love you, you know that right?" Andy quickly sent the text off.

Miranda watched the phone and read the message as it came across. She quickly began to type.

"Miranda do I need to take that phone from you? Serena is trying to get your make-up done."

Miranda glared, "You take my phone away and I am headed for the other tent!"

Emily backed down. Serena and Sarah giggled. Anne was having a wonderful time photographing this wedding.

"Love you now, tomorrow and forever."

"O.K. Miranda it is time to get that gorgeous wedding dress on." Exclaimed Serena.

Emily texted Nigel and told him to bring Miranda's jewels up. Serena and Sarah helped Miranda step into the dress and pull it up. Serena stepped around to the back and attached the veils.

"Oh my Baby girl. You are so beautiful." Sarah stood in awe.

"She is right Miranda, Andy is going to fall over when she sees you." Serena gushed.

Nigel walked into the tent. "Here are …" And he stopped. "OH MY GOD, Miranda, I have seen some beautiful brides but you are exquisite. I may have to fight Six for you."

Miranda was blushing. "Thank you Nigel."

Anne nudged Nigel. "I am telling you Nigel, these pictures, a whole issue. You have to." Nigel groaned.

"Here Miranda let me put the necklace on you. Now turn around." Miranda looked into the mirror.

She touched her face and fingered the necklace. "It is beautiful."

"You are beautiful Miranda." Nigel replied.


People were starting to file in. Crowds were building at the main entrance. No one had been able to get any information out of the security that was standing guard. People were speculating that a movie was being filmed. The paparazzi knew better there were no films on file that would be filming in Central Park at this time. They tried to get pictures through the windows of the cars that were arriving but the only people they captured were the drivers. All the outside windows and the inner partition were blackened. Most of Runway had arrived including Irv and his wife. She was having a great time. It had been a while since such a grand wedding had taken place. All the designers were there, even Anna Wintour showed up. They were serenaded by the orchestra and after they had been seated they were offered a glass of champagne.

Serena and her crew passed over to Andy's tent and began to work on her. Nigel was there with the strands of diamonds that were to be weaved in her hair. Serena had it tied up in no time with ringlets hanging all around.

Nigel stood back and nodded. "Amazing."

Serena started working on Andy's make-up when Andy's phone pinged. Andy picked it up and smiled and quickly typed out a return messaged.

"Bloody cell phones." Emily grumbled.

Andy laughed. "Yep it ticked her off." And sent it to Miranda.

Miranda's return reply was "LOL"

Andy busted she could not stop laughing.

Serena looked at Emily and shrugged. "At least she's not crying." Emily rolled her eyes.

"O.K. Andy time for the dress." Emily helped Serena get Andy into the dress. Serena went to Andy's back and placed the comb for the veil into her hair. Anna and Richard were both in tears.

"Mom, Dad, Please My make-up."

Nigel stepped over and placed the necklace around her neck and everyone gasped.

Anne was snapping away. "Andy you are delightful. If you ever tire of journalism you can model for me any time."

Emily picked up Andy's phone and typed. "Wait until you see her." And sent it off.

Emily and Serena exited the tent and hurried everyone to settle into their seats. They escorted the twins around the edge and to the pianos and settled them in. This was going to be their most important recital ever. They had practiced with Emily for weeks. They saw Anne come out of Andy's tent and made sure all her people were in place. The families were escorted to their seats by men dressed in tuxes. Emily motioned to a woman who came out and started spreading a thick blanket of flower petals down the entire isle. Emily walked around the edge and back to the girls.

Serena went to the front and sat next to the Nanny taking Isabella off her lap. "How is my lovely baby girl? Are you going to be good for your Godmothers' wedding?" The infant smiled.

"Knock, knock man entering." Michael entered Miranda's tent. He saw her standing in front of the mirror. "Miranda." She looked up in the mirror and smiled at him. "Look at my Big Sister. You are flawlessly beautiful. I cannot get over it. I wish Dad were here to see you. He should be the one walking you down the aisle." Michael walked up behind Miranda and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck. "You are just sparkling."

Miranda smiled. "I am glad you are walking me down the aisle, not Father. Don't get me wrong. I am glad Mother is here and we have been able to start over, but it would feel odd for him to walk me down the aisle."

Michael nodded. "Are you ready?"

Miranda nodded. They turned and faced the entrance to the tent. One of the girls from Runway was left to make sure the veils are straight as she walked down the steps. Emily stepped out in front of the lattice. She looked around one last time to make sure everything was in place then nodded to the twins.

Welcome to Miranda and Andréa's Wedding. The last chapter will be up soon I promise.
