Dramatic Romance
Ch. 7 Rehearsal
Author's Note: Thank you for all the amazing reviews. I am thinking this story will be 15 chapters. I combined some of the chapters to make them longer. Hope you enjoy! I appreciate all the support.

(Jason's point of view)
Just 24 hours more and Elizabeth will be my wife. I wish we could just skip forward. I mean I get the wedding but why do we have to have a rehearsal? I mean they all go the same way. It's not like they are going to suddenly go crazy and do some like bungee jump in the middle.
"Jason we need to go are you ready?" Elizabeth asked.
"Yeah are you sure I can wear jeans?" I asked again for the third time.
"Yes now let's go." Elizabeth answered.
"You look great." I said amazed at the black jeans and low cut green shirt.
"Thank you and you look as amazing as ever." She said as we left.
We were the first ones at the church. Elizabeth explained that Father Coates wanted to speak to us alone before the wedding. I was a little nervous. I wondered why she had waited to tell me this.
"Nice to see you again Jason and Elizabeth." Father Coates said shaking our hands.
"Nice to see you as well." Elizabeth said.
"Why did you want to speak to us?" I asked getting straight to the point.
"I normally do weeks of premarital meetings with my couples. Since Sonny and you are such big supporters I forgo that. I did want to speak to you. I need to know that your intentions are good." Father Coates answered honestly.
"What would you like to know?" Elizabeth asked.
"I know you've both been through a lot." Father Coates said.
"Yes and it has brought us together." I said defensively.
"I'll just ask a few questions and you don't have to answer them." Father Coates said.
"Go ahead." I said calming down.
"When did you first realize you were in love with Elizabeth?" Father Coates asked me.
"She had helped me out and took care of me. She over and over again defended me." I explained.
"And you Elizabeth?" He asked her.
"I would say when I was recovering I already knew I was just scared." She answered.
"And Elizabeth how do you about Jason's job?" He asked as I tensed.
"I will always worry. I trust and love Jason." Elizabeth said.
"How do you feel about Elizabeth being an artist?" He asked me.
"I fully support her. I know she's talented. She helped me to see her art." I answered.
"How do you feel about Elizabeth's family?" He asked me.
"Her Grandmother and I have come a long way. I would do anything to protect Elizabeth and her family. Her brother and sister I am just getting to know but I am glad to see they are closer. As for her parents well I personally don't like them or how they make Elizabeth feel." I answered looking over at Elizabeth.
"What about you Elizabeth?" He asked.
"Well Sonny and Carly and the kids are family to him. Sonny and I have always gotten along. I love those kids. Carly and I well have come a long long way. As for Alan and Monica I get along good with them and it's so nice to see Jason trying with them. Lila is well wonderful as you know. Edward is well Edward I don't let him get to me. And Emily was already my sister in my heart." Elizabeth said.
"Father Coates the bridal party has arrived." A woman said interrupting us.
"I am more than satisfied with your answers. I am honored to marry you. If either of you need anything including a listening ear I am here for you." Father Coates said as we exited his office.
The rehearsal wasn't that bad. I stood at the alter. Sonny and Francis made jokes. Michael kept trying to tell me a story about school. In about an hour we were done. We had planned to join Elizabeth's Grandmother for dinner along with everyone here. Sarah smiled and said there was a change of plans. Everyone else except Emily seemed surprised.
We went back to the Pent House. When we went in there were pizza's sitting there. Audrey, Alan, and Monica came out. Alan and Monica explained that the groom's family usually did the rehearsal dinner. They said though we weren't a traditional family that they still wanted to do something special. I was actually pretty honored.
We ate pizza and everyone told stories about Elizabeth and me. Then everyone took turns giving their well wishes. Elizabeth and I actually had a good time. I was upset when it was time for me to leave. I didn't really believe in bad luck but I did as Elizabeth asked. I went with Sonny and Carly stayed with Elizabeth.
