I edited the first part of last chapter, if y'all wanna go back and give it a second read. Nothing plot-changing, so it's totally optional.

It's just that before, Lizzie was in a hot tub and that is bad news for baby. It may be common sense for you guys but I didn't know how hot hot tubs actually got. (Then why are you writing about them if you don't know?!) Well, I've never been pregnant either lol and if I followed that rule then we wouldn't have this fic. Sorry! I should've researched it, though. All of you ladies that have been pregnant probably get annoyed with some of my inaccuracies, but please let me know if something sounds totally crazy. Thanks for pointing out the hot tub thing, Jen!

As for flying while preggers, for our Lizzie, I think it's okay. Her iron deficiency was detected and handled. She's not flying alone so she doesn't have to do any work. She still has over a month before her due date. She got a check-up and little Izzy was cool and the doc gave the OK. And I know I've never specified where exactly Lizzie's hometown is (somewhere in the middle of California, maybe? Like close to the border between Nevada and California since Lydia drove to Vegas and she also drove to LA to visit Jane. That makes sense, right?) but the flight isn't long enough to cause concern. They just fly 'cause it's faster than driving. I researched the idea of her flying while in the last trimester to make sure it was okay (unlike the hot tub lol FAIL).

Also, like, every character ever mentioned in the LBD gets a little cameo this chapter lol. So it's like a mash-up of people. I hope I did a decent job writing this! It really is a challenge to get things from your brain into writing, something I have learned over the course of writing this fic.

This chapter is a long one. Over 6K! Didn't wanna split it!

Anyway, on to the wedding weekend!

When Lizzie, Darcy, and Gigi landed in Lizzie's hometown, they went straight to Netherfield to get settled. Lizzie informed her parents that they need not make any modifications to the house because she was not going to sleep over there. Bing and Jane had arrived earlier in the day and had fixed up multiple rooms for them all. Everyone was flying in for this wedding.

Lizzie was relieved when they were finally in the rental and on the way home. She felt as if she was being treated like she was made of glass at the airport. Darcy had arranged for the airline to provide a wheelchair for her so she wouldn't have to stand in lines or walk around the airport. She was grateful for the chair, but hated being the source of so much fuss.

Lizzie and Darcy went to Darcy's old room and Gigi took the room that Lizzie stayed in the previous summer. As Gigi had never been to Netherfield, she was exploring when she ran into Lizzie.

"Don't get too comfortable, Gigi.", Lizzie warned her. "We're just gonna drop our stuff off. Bing and Jane are already at my parents'. You'll finally get to meet them. And Lydia's home, too!"

"Yeah, we text each other all the time. I'm supposed to go to the movies with her and your cousin Mary tonight.", Gigi said with a smile.

They rang the doorbell at the Bennet home and Mrs. Bennet ran for the door.

"I'll get it! That must be Elizabeth! Oh, I can't wait to see that belly!", she exclaimed.

When Mrs. Bennet opened the door, she squealed with delight and hugged Lizzie tightly. She was over the moon with how big Lizzie's belly had grown and she thought the extra pounds looked lovely on her daughter.

"Oh, Lizzie, look at you!", she raved.

"Hi, Mom. I'd love to chat, but could we do this inside? Also, you have yet to greet William and his little sister, Georgiana."

"My apologies! Hey there, Darcy, dear! What're you standing there for? Come give me a hug!", she ordered.

Darcy laughed and hugged his future mother-in-law. "Hello, Francine. You look well. Allow me to introduce my sister, Georgiana Darcy."

Gigi smiled and waved. "Hi, Mrs. Bennet. Please, call me Gigi."

"Well, aren't you cute as a button?! Call me Francine! The Darcys are a handsome family. My grandbaby is gonna be beautiful! Come over here, Gigi, dear.", Mrs. Bennet said opening her arms for a hug.

Gigi hugged her and thought to herself that her brother was right; Mrs. Bennet's hugs were the absolute best.

"Come on in, everybody. Jane and Bing are here. Dinner's just about ready, so don't eat anythin'!", she warned them as she let them in the house.

They walked to the living room, where Jane, Bing, Mr. Bennet, and Lydia were watching some old home videos.

"Lizzie!", they all said when Lizzie walked in. Everyone was so happy to see that her pregnancy was going well.

"You look beautiful, Lizzie!", Jane said as she got up to hug her.

"Thank you, Janie. You do, too, as always.", Lizzie said with a big smile. "Hey, Bing!"

Mr. Bennet hugged Darcy and shook his hand before asking, "And who's this lovely young lady?"

"Thomas, this is my younger sister, Georgiana Darcy.", Darcy answered.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Bennet. Please, call me Gigi."

"And you can call me Thomas.", he said shaking her hand.

"So this is Gigi Darcy? It's so good to finally meet you.", Jane said sweetly.

"Likewise, Jane. I love your fashion sense!", Gigi commented. She had always admired Jane's style from Lizzie's videos.

"Gigi!", Lydia said excitedly. The girls squawked and ran to each other for a big bear hug. "Come on, let's go to my room! You have to fill me in on this Sidney guy…"

"Shhh!", Gigi shushed her. The girls ran up the stairs and disappeared into Lydia's room.

"Ellie…"

"Dad, I told you not to call me that…", she said before making her way to Mr. Bennet.

He rubbed her belly and sighed. "Wow. You look fantastic, honey."

"Yeah right, Dad. I look like I swallowed a watermelon.", she joked.

The rest of the visit was spent eating and in good company. Mrs. Bennet asked her daughters to help her decide which hat to wear to the wedding tomorrow and Mr. Bennet had taken Bing and Darcy into his study to chat. He was very pleased to see that his daughters looked happy and he thanked them. He also jokingly threatened that they had better keep it that way.

The Bennet sisters and their men returned to Netherfield where they spent the rest of the night hanging out and awaiting Fitz and Brandon, who were also invited to the wedding. It seems that Ricky Collins left no stone unturned when it came to inviting people to his big day. Anyone he might have a slight connection with received an invitation.

"This is how I like to see my home; filled with loved ones.", Bing stated happily after Brandon and Fitz arrived.

The next morning was a sunny Saturday with perfect wedding weather. While everyone ate breakfast, they heard the front door open.

"I wasn't aware that we were expecting anyone else.", said Darcy.

Bing smiled and yelled out, "We're in the dining room!"

They heard the clacking of heels and then watched as Caroline Lee appeared.

"Good morning, everyone.", she said happily. She was certainly a changed woman. Her presence would've been a source of awkwardness before, but now she was part of the crew. Everyone had seen how she apologized to Lizzie and they could all see the difference in her behavior.

"You look great, Caroline!", Bing commented before hugging his big sister.

"Always, baby brother. Always.", she answered with a flip of her hair over her shoulder.

"Caroline, are you here for the wedding?", Jane asked. Not even she had known Caroline was coming. "Hmm… it makes sense considering we fixed up Caroline's room, too, but that still leaves two other bed rooms that we fixed…", Jane thought.

"Yes, we came for the wedding.", she replied.

"We?", asked Lizzie.

"Get over here, you three!", Caroline ordered before stalking away and returning with Aaron Fields and two other men.

"Aaron?", Lizzie and Darcy asked in unison.

"Hey, Elizabeth. Darcy.", he said with a salute.

Caroline cleared her throat. "Everyone, this is my boyfriend Aaron Fields. Aaron, this is my little brother Bing. That's his girlfriend-"

"Jane, yeah, I know her from Lizzie's videos. And Fitz. And Gigi. And I'm assuming you're Brandon?"

Bing and Aaron shook hands and then Caroline kept the introductions going. "And these two are Aaron's younger brothers, Carlos and Patrick."

"Wow, Aaron, even your brothers are hot.", Lizzie commented as she waved at them. One of them looked no older than 21 and the other seemed to be about Lizzie's age.

Darcy rolled his eyes in response and then smiled. Lizzie stuck her tongue out at him. She liked to push his buttons every now and again.

"Wow, it really is a full house. Almost all the bedrooms are occupied. Nice to meet you, Fields brothers. Make yourselves at home.", Bing greeted them warmly.

By 4pm, everyone at Netherfield was ready. All the ladies looked gorgeous and the men looked dapper. Even Lizzie, who felt like the ugly duckling of the group since all the other women weren't 40lbs too heavy like she was, couldn't turn down a compliment that day. "Jane Bennet works miracles!", Lizzie thought as she looked in the mirror one last time before heading downstairs with the rest of the girls.

The guys were all waiting in the living room and when the group of women started to descend. They all watched like it was a fashion show. Aaron, Bing, and Darcy were all dumbstruck with how beautiful their girlfriends looked.

"We all look mighty fine, if I do say so myself! Let's go! I'm dying to see if to see if this wasn't all an elaborate hoax orchestrated by Ricky Collins!", Fitz joked.

They coupled up and started walking towards the front door. As they walked toward the car arm-in-arm, Darcy whispered into Lizzie's ear, "My heart skipped a beat when you came down the stairs. The next time you plan on looking so beautiful, you should warn me so that I may brace myself."

Lizzie tried her best to hide her smile, but her efforts were futile. It was cheesy, but she knew he meant it. She blushed a little and gave Darcy a quick kiss on the cheek before he helped her into their rental. It left a lipstick mark on him and she wanted to leave it but decided against it and wiped it away. Darcy and Lizzie were riding with Gigi, Fitz, and Brandon while Bing and Jane rode with Caroline and the Fields brothers.

They arrived at the local church and greeted many familiar faces in the parking lot. They immediately started mingling. Mrs. Bennet was already there and was boasting about Lizzie's pregnancy to Mary Bennet and her parents.

"Oh look! There she is! And look at her handsome boyfriend! See? I was not exaggeratin'!", she claimed.

"Aunt Franny, we all met him the last time they were in town…", Mary said, annoyed. Her tone didn't phase her Mrs. B, however.

The Lu family had also just arrived and Mr. and Mrs. Lu were pleased to see Lizzie. They knew she was pregnant because of Charlotte, but they hadn't seen her in forever.

"Hey, Maria!", Lizzie said excitedly before hugging her. She hadn't seen her bestie's little sister in so long.

"Char!", Lizzie called out when she found Charlotte. They hugged each other tightly and Charlotte commented on the size of Lizzie's belly, like everyone else.

"You look great though, Lizzie. The pregnancy glow is in full effect.", she complimented.

"You look amazing, too! I love your hair like that. Short and sophisticated.", Lizzie responded.

"Lizzie, I have been looking for you all over. It is time to go in.", Darcy interrupted their chat. "Hello, Charlotte. You look lovely... Shall we, ladies?"

Lizzie and Charlotte each took one of Darcy's arms and walked into the church.

Everyone eagerly awaited the bride of the groom. Ricky Collins looked extremely nervous when the organ began to play the familiar tune announcing the bride's imminent approach.

The woman marched slowly down the aisle, with a young girl holding the tail of her gown and her face covered by a veil. All those who were anticipating the woman's face felt trolled. Lizzie couldn't help but squeeze Darcy's hand because she could see herself in Jamie. She was looking forward to getting married. Not now, but whenever they decided the time was right.

The moment of truth finally arrived. Ricky lifted the veil from her face and the woman who was about to become Jamie Collins was actually very pretty. Nothing like they had expected. She had caramel skin, curly dark hair and eyes, and a very pretty face. She also gave off this really placid vibe, so they could all sense that she had the patience necessary to be with Ricky for the rest of her life.

"Damn, even Ricky Collins got game! Shame on you, Darcy, if you wouldn't have caught Lizzie!", Fitz whispered loudly, making the whole pew snicker. Luckily, the sound was masked by clapping because the priest had just pronounced the Collins' husband and wife.

Everyone packed back into their cars to head to the location of the reception, which was beautifully decorated. It was a little extravagant for Lizzie's tastes, but still very nice.

People made their way to their tables and awaited the female master of ceremonies to announce Mr. and Mrs. Ricky Collins on the dance floor. After their first dance, the floor was open to everyone and now was Darcy's time to shine. All the hours of dance practice were about to be put to use.

It was a fun, fast-paced song that started playing and after all the other couples got up to dance, Darcy stood up and cleared his throat.

"Lizzie, would you care to dance?", Darcy asked confidently.

"What?", she asked, confused. She had already resolved to stay with Darcy whenever there was no one else left to keep him company at the table.

"Lizzie, do you wanna get your grove thing on?", Darcy asked again with a playful look in his eyes.

Lizzie's eyes widened and she could not stop laughing. "Oh my God. Yes, of course! How could I say no to that?"

He smiled because his plan worked perfectly. He got the response he expected and now all he had to do was dance properly so that his mission of surprising Lizzie would be complete.

They neared the other couples, who were surprised to see Darcy willingly walking onto the dance floor with Lizzie. She started dancing and then Darcy matched her movements.

"No way…", gasped Gigi. She was dancing with Lydia and was astonished. "I have to record this!", she declared as she practically abandoned Lydia and got out her cell phone.

Lizzie and Darcy seemed to be the center of attention on the dance floor. Their friends stared because Darcy was actually dancing and it looked good. The rest of the guests were staring because they either knew Lizzie or because they thought it was cool to see the pregnant lady dance.

When the song ended, a lot of people were clapping for them and they walked back to their seats proudly.

"Will! You were great! When the hell did you learn to dance? I remember we tried and it didn't turn out so good."

Darcy smiled and revealed the secret he'd been keeping for what seemed like ages. "I took dancing lessons to surprise you, my love."

"Aww, babe! Well, you definitely surprised me.", she declared and gave him a congratulatory kiss.

"I did it.", he thought, feeling accomplished.

"Wow, Darceface, I didn't know you had it in you!", exclaimed Lydia when she reached their table. "Whatttt!", she yelled and extended her hand. Darcy remembered Lydia used to do that in her videos, so he gave her a high-five and laughed.

"So, Lizzie, who's the hottie in the corner?!", Lydia inquired. She had been wary of men ever since the incident with you-know-who, but she was finally getting more confident. She hadn't dated anybody since, but wasn't averse to getting back in the game anymore.

"That hottie's name is Carlos. He's Caroline's boyfriend's little brother… you know what? He doesn't know anyone here aside from his brothers. Maybe you should introduce yourself."

"You know what, sis? That sounds like a great idea…", she said before walking towards Carlos.

Lizzie smiled. "Look, Will! She's interested in seeing guys again. I'm so happy for her."

"As am I. It is nice to see Lydia so energetic… But the poor kid is no match for her. She is more extroverted than he is. Look at him; he doesn't even know how to talk to her. You would think with his looks he'd know a thing or two."

Lizzie's jaw dropped after his little speil. "Oh, and you're one to talk? The same thing could be said about us."

Darcy's eyebrows rose in realization of the similarities between them and he suddenly became really thirsty.

"Mmhmm. No need to reply. You know I'm right.", Lizzie gloated.

Not long after the party started, Catherine DeBourgh arrived to congratulate Mr. Collins on his matrimony. She couldn't make it to the actual wedding but she was pleased with the reception.

"Congratulations, Mr. Collins. I think it is splendid that you married. I encourage everyone to do so. And your wife is delightful… However did you manage to secure her affections?"

"We were set up. I was in Highbury on business and I saw an advertisement for a local matchmaking service. I had time to spare and I decided I had nothing to lose, so I met with the woman who runs the service. She profiled me and a few weeks later, I was on a date with Jamie. She and I have a lot in common. For example, we were both born in Manitoba! I moved to this town when I was three years old because my father had business here, but I went back to visit family every summer for many years! Oh, Manitoba is a wonderful place-"

"Yes, yes. Very good, Mr. Collins. Have you seen my nephew? I know he and Liz are here."

"Ahh yes, let me escort you, Mrs. DeBourgh! I believe Mr. Darcy and Miss Bennet are seated in this direction."

Darcy and Lizzie weren't seated, however. They were on the dance floor again. A slow dance this time. They were doing the swaying thing and were talking and laughing during the song. They looked so in-love and so right for each other as they shared a kiss. Jane and Bing gave Lizzie and Darcy a run for their money with all their smiling and googley eyes. Hell, even Caroline and Aaron looked like they'd been together for a while even though they'd only been dating for a couple of months.

Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and Aunt Catherine all looked at their kids with pride and were just overjoyed for them.

Catherine chatted with Gigi about Sanditon while she waited for the couple to return to their seats.

"My, my Liz, don't you look positively pregnant! You look gorgeous, I must say. And William, I don't believe I've ever seen you dance so elegantly. Elizabeth, whatever you're doing, keep it up because it has worked wonders!", Aunt Catherine exclaimed.

Mr. Collins returned. "Mr. Darcy! Do you mind if I steal Miss Bennet for a song? My wife and I would like to dance with all our closest friends!"

"You consider me a close friend? Seriously?", she wondered aloud. "Uhh, sorry Ricky. Maybe later? My feet hurt." Her feet were getting swollen so she was going to rest them on Darcy's lap for a little bit.

"Ahh, of course. Have any of you seen Ms. Lu?"

"She's over there talking to- is that Aaron's brother, Patrick? Sorry, Mr. Collins... It appears you'll have to find somebody else."

"Very well. I will see if young Ms. Lu will do me the honor.", he bowed and walked away.

"It looks like everyone has someone to keep them company.", commented Darcy.

"Yup.", said Lizzie as she put her feet up.

Aunt Catherine wanted to give them some privacy, so she inquired after Lizzie's parents. "Liz, where are your parents? I would love to make their acquaintance. It's only right, considering that we're family now."

"Hold on, let me introduce you-", Lizzie offered.

"Don't be silly! Rest your feet. I am more than capable of introducing myself. Just show me who they are and I will go."

Lizzie pointed in the general direction of where her parents were sitting and said, "You see that woman with the hat and the man sitting next to her playing with the feathers? Those are my parents…"

"I'm sure they're… pleasant people. They're your parents, after all. See you two later.", she said before walking away.

"I hope my mom doesn't do anything embarrassing…", Lizzie worried as she watched Catherine getting closer to her parents.

"Your father is there. It should be okay.", Darcy said with a soft laugh.

The emcee announced that it was time to eat. The servers were making their rounds and were being supervised by the matchmaker/wedding planner/master of ceremonies. Everything had turned out flawlessly and she believed it was all because she was doing it herself. She was running the show from behind the scenes the entire time.

"If you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself.", she thought proudly as she looked out at all the people looking cheerful and receiving their first courses with delight. She picked out the menu herself as well, since Jamie was so indecisive.

"Emma! I brought you a plate of food. You have to eat something. You've been running around all day."

She was broken out of her trance by her life-long friend and business partner, Alex Knightley.

"I'm not hungry. I'm too preoccupied to think about food right now. Maybe later, Knightley."

"Your father was right to ask me to tag along. Emma, if you don't eat, I'll be forced to call your old man. You know how big of a health-nut he is."

"Ugh. Fine. Let me go wash my hands. Find us somewhere to sit.", she commanded as she headed to the ladies room.

She had washed her hands and was retouching some of her make-up, when Lizzie walked out of a bathroom stall.

Lizzie was washing her hands and she commented, "Wow, this soap is great. My hands feel really soft."

Emma replied, "Yeah, I had them put in my favorite hand soap. There shouldn't be any reason for complaint by the end of the night. Not even about the soap. I planned everything."

"You did this?", Lizzie asked as she dried her hands.

"Oh, how rude. I am Emma Woodhouse, head of the Highbury Group's Love and Lifestyle Division. I put the Collins' wedding and reception together. I also put them together.", she answered with a smile, sticking her hand out for a shake.

Lizzie shook her hand and mid-shake she exclaimed, "We've met before!"

"Have we? I meet a lot of people, I'm sorry if I don't recall."

"You were in a hair salon in San Francisco! You were talking to somebody about table cloths! You said you had a wedding the next month… it must have been Ricky's!"

"Hmm… Oh, I remember you! You were the pregnant woman that was celebrating the anniversary! Wow, what a coincidence! How do you know the Collins'?"

"I don't know Jamie but I do know Ricky. He and I grew up in the same neighborhood."

"Really? Has he always been so…?"

"Aggravating? Yes, yes he has.", Lizzie answered with a laugh. "Oh, my name is Lizzie, by the way. Lizzie Bennet."

"Nice to meet you again, Lizzie Bennet. I don't believe in mere coincidences, though. Our meeting again has to mean something. Here is my business card…", she said after taking out a card out of her clutch and searching for a pen. "…and here is my cell. If you ever find yourself in need of a matchmaker, wedding planner, life coach, or whatever, just give me a call. I'm versatile."

"Thank you. You did a great job with the wedding and the reception."

"Of course. Everything with my name attached to it has to be Emma Approved.", she said with a wink and held the door open for Lizzie.

"I really like this woman. She's spunky.", Lizzie thought as they went their separate ways.

Their ways turned out to be not so separate after all; they both ended up walking to the table where Lizzie and Darcy were seated.

"We meet again, Lizzie.", Emma said with a smile.

"We do. It's weird, huh?", Lizzie smiled back as she took her seat.

"There you are, Emma. I was hoping you'd return quickly. I had no idea Mr. Darcy knew this Collins guy... Mr. Darcy, this is Emma Woodhouse of Highbury Group. Emma, this is Mr. Darcy of Pemberley Digital. He's the man behind the software we're interested for your documentary."

"Oh! Hello, Mr. Darcy. Nice to meet you. I'm looking forward to starting my documentary next month."

"And Pemberley Digital is looking forward to providing you with a good system. We have beta'd with the Domino application and we think we've got all the bugs fixed. This will be a variation of Domino and you'll be the only one who has it.", Darcy replied.

Lizzie was just sitting there smiling politely. She didn't want to interrupt the business talk but Emma brought her into the conversation.

"I'm documenting my greatness, Lizzie. I know it may sound a little conceited but it's true. I want to document the way I make people's lives better so that when I receive my prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award in Lifestyle Excellence, they'll have clips of my good deeds playing on the screen behind me as I give my acceptance speech.", she said confidently with a far-away look in her eyes.

"Lizzie, I was not aware that you knew Miss Woodhouse.", commented Darcy with surprise.

"I didn't until a few minutes ago. She and I ran into each other last month at a hair salon. The day of our six month anniversary, actually. She was the one who told me I was head-over-heels for you.", she smiled. "And then I recognized her in the bathroom and we exchanged names."

"Wait, you are dating Mr. Darcy? Wow! I guessed our paths would have crossed eventually, even without this wedding. He's been in contact with Knightley since VidCon. We went there in search of potential customers and to seek out a program just like the one we've secured with Pemberley Digital. I guess California isn't so big after all!"

It was Darcy's turn to introduce his girl. "Mr. Knightley, this is my girlfriend, Elizabeth Bennet. Lizzie, this is Alex Knightley of Highbury Group."

"He handles all the boring stuff.", Emma whispered loudly.

"The important boring stuff.", he amended.

Lizzie wanted to ask if they were together but she figured that would be rude. The two of them sat with Lizzie and Darcy and the rest of the table until dinner was over and Emma and Knightley had to resume their duties.

"It was nice meeting you, Mr. Darcy. And it was nice meeting you again, Lizzie. You have my number. Call me!", Emma said before strutting away. Knightley shook Darcy's hand and waved to Lizzie before chasing after Emma.

"I like her.", stated Lizzie. "I think I'd like her to plan our wedding, Will. What do you think?"

"She's doing a great job with this one. Whatever you want, my love.", Darcy responded. "However, we might end up on that documentary of hers... Will my life ever be free of video cameras?"

Lizzie laughed. "Nope. It seems that the digital gods have taken a shine to you."

The dance floor opened back up and Charlotte came to steal Lizzie away from Darcy for a song or two. Darcy took the opportunity to ask Gigi for a dance.

"So Char… I see you've been chatting up Patrick Fields all evening.", Lizzie teased.

"Yeah. He's really interesting."

"Interesting, huh? Did you know he's Caroline's boyfriend's little brother?"

"Yes. You know, she came up to me and was acting super weird. Like, nice. And I couldn't sense any fake vibes."

"She's changed, Char! And you have her to thank for your new interesting friend. If she wouldn't have called Ricky to squeeze them in at last minute, you and Lydia would be out of luck."

Charlotte just rolled her eyes and twirled Lizzie around.

After another song, Mr. Bennet appeared to request a dance with his daughter.

"We do this at every wedding, Lizzie. You know the deal.", he said. At every wedding they attended, Mr. Bennet always danced with each of his girls. He had already danced with his eldest and his youngest, leaving his favorite for last.

"If someone had told me that the next time we danced, we'd have big belly between us, I would've assumed that your mother's cooking would be the culprit, not my granddaughter."

"You're preaching to the choir, dad.", she said with a chuckle.

"Next time we dance, it'll probably be at Jane's wedding. Or yours. Even Lydia. There's no telling anymore with you girls. You've all done some pretty unforeseen things this past year... Jane moved twice, you're giving us our first grandchild, and then Lydia's incident… But that's a part of growing up, I guess. Changing. I remember when you girls would dance on my feet and now you're all grown…"

Mr. Bennet sighed. His eyes were glossy and Lizzie was going to address it but the song ended.

"Go on back to Darcy, Ellie. I've got to go see what your mom's up to.", he said with a smile.

"Wait, Dad." She gave her dad a hug before he could get too far.

Emma strode to the middle of the dance floor with the mic and cleared her throat.

"Good evening, guests of the new Mr. and Mrs. Ricky Collins! It's about time for the bouquet toss! All the unmarried ladies, please make your way to the dance floor!"

Mrs. Bennet got up to get a good look at the group of women. "One of our girls is gonna catch it, honey! I can feel it in my bones!", she said before leaving Mr. Bennet at the table.

Caroline, Jane, Lizzie, Charlotte, Gigi, Lydia, and Mary were all huddled together behind Jamie with all the other unmarried female guests. Lizzie stood on the edge of the group just in case things got a little crazy. She didn't want to get tackled and hurt herself.

"One... two... three!", Jamie counted before tossing the bouquet behind her.

The spot light landed on Jane Bennet, whose long arm held the flowers up in the air.

People clapped for her and Emma said into the mic, "Alright! This lovely lady caught the bouquet! What's your name?"

"Jane Bennet.", she answered happily.

"Give it up for Jane Bennet, everyone! Now let's see who will catch the garter."

Mrs. Bennet cheered on the sidelines and yelled, "That's my daughter!"

Mr. Bennet sat at their table, amused. "Well, I'll be. Franny was right."

Knightley brought a chair to the middle of the dance floor for Jamie to sit on. Ricky Collins was going to have to remove the garter from his new wife's thigh. They decided to go for the less scandalous version, so he removed it with his hands instead of his teeth.

"Alright! All the unmarried men! Get your butts onto the dance floor. One of you gents is going to catch this garter and dance with the lovely Jane Bennet!"

Bing was the first one on the dance floor. He was really eager to catch it. All the guys stood around waiting for Ricky to throw it. Darcy hated this tradition and swore up and down that he would not have it at his wedding. He stood as far back as possible in order to have the least likely chance of catching it. Bing was in the middle and was ready to pounce.

"One, two, three!", Ricky counted before he threw the garter.

The spot light landed on none other than William Darcy. It hit him in the chest and he caught it because of his reflexes. "Damn it! Just like the Gibson wedding. Except I don't get to dance with Lizzie..."

"Give it up for Mr. William Darcy! Get ready to dance with Miss Bennet!"

Bing was slightly disappointed but he got over it quickly. "Don't embarrass my girl, Darcy.", Bing warned playfully.

"I will try my best to avoid doing so."

Jane and Darcy stepped onto the dance floor together and began dancing when the music started. Darcy thanked his lucky stars he'd taken those lessons because if he hadn't, he'd have danced horribly like the last time. He would have had awkward wedding dances with two thirds of the Bennet girls.

"You're doing great, Darcy.", Jane said, smiling.

"Thank you, Jane. You, too.", he smiled back. How could he ever have thought she smiled too much?

"I'm sorry to spring this on you so last-minute, Darcy, but I want to throw Lizzie a baby shower tomorrow afternoon. It's the only the time we'll all be together. We're all going to be there for Isabella's birth but before then, I don't think we'll be able to gather like this without it affecting out jobs or school. What do you say, Darcy? Can you keep Lizzie busy tomorrow morning and then bring her over to my parents' house for 'lunch'?"

"Gladly."

"Great. I've already told my parents and everyone else at Netherfield and Charlotte and my cousin. So everyone is going to be there."

"I will leave my credit card with Georgiana. Please, buy whatever you need to make tomorrow special. I honestly hadn't thought about a baby shower…"

"It's okay. It slipped everyone's minds. Especially Lizzie's. That's why it'll be a great surprise."

They danced together gracefully and then Darcy escorted Jane back to Bing's side before returning to Lizzie.

Mrs. Bennet was over the moon. "You know what this means, right, Thomas?"

"What, that Jane and Darcy are going to be wed?", he answered sarcastically.

"Oh, don't be silly! It means that Jane and Darcy are next in line to get married! Not to each other but to Bing and Lizzie!"

"That's common sense, dear. I didn't have to watch them catch bouquets and garters to come to that conclusion."

"I know! But it's a sign!"

Before the night was over, the newlyweds made their rounds to every table to thanks their guests for coming and that was when they all got the chance to meet Jamie formally.

"She's so sweet. And Ricky is different with her.", noted Lizzie.

"Yes, I did find him less irritating than usual in her presence.", Darcy joked.

Emma spoke into the mic once more to announce the departure of the Collins' and the end of the festivities.

Everyone said their goodbyes in the parking lot but for most of them the party wasn't over. Darcy and Lizzie were dropped off at Netherfield and Lydia and Charlotte took their places as they all went to Carter's to continue the fun. Lydia had gotten Carlos to break out of shell a little and Charlotte still thought Patrick was interesting.

Lizzie: Keep an eye on your brothers with my sisters, Aaron!

Aaron: Will do, Elizabeth. :P

Lizzie was pooped. After watching a little bit of television with Darcy after they changed, she wanted to sleep.

"I think I'm gonna go upstairs, babe. I'm sleepy. Good night.", she said getting up from the couch and giving him a good night kiss.

"Tomorrow morning would you like to go out and do something? I believe your mother is hosting a luncheon and we'd have nothing to do before then."

"Sure. We can invite everyone else and make it a group thing."

"Actually, I was thinking it might be just us. We'll see everyone at your parents' house anyway."

Lizzie yawned. "Okay. I'm looking forward to it."

"Good night, Lizzie.", he said. He watched her climb the stairs and when she was out of sight, he texted Jane.

Darcy: She accepted my invitation for a date tomorrow morning. We shall be gone until you let me know everything is ready.

Jane: Perfect. :)

There we have it! Ricky Collins is a married man and Lizzie and Emma are best buds now! If you guys don't know who Emma Woodhouse is, watch Emma Approved on YouTube! It's a modern adaptation of Jane Austen's novel Emma. They are on winter hiatus until February, so you have plenty of time to catch up! It's different than the LBD but it's also really good!

I made some EA sims. Link on my profile if you're interested!
