~Priscilla~

Today is the day! My best friend is getting married to the love of her life. She looked absolutely beautiful today and I was amazed that she asked me to be her Maid of Honor along with Damon to be a 'bridesmale' as Jayme put it. She was never one to associate herself closely with girls, she didn't trust them very much and had a very low tolerance for their dramatic bullshit. I, along with Damon and his friends, took her up to Big Bear for the weekend last weekend to just relax and have some fun. She enjoyed it; being in the woods and the change of scenery. I was glad that going up there gave her some time to just relax and not worry so much about how the wedding was gonna go.

The venue looked beautiful as well with bright pops of orange colored tulips and light pink bows on the ends of the rows of seats. It amazed me that she planned this all herself. Well, other than Mike picking the flowers and cake. He did a pretty good job with handling Jayme's stubborn perfectionist ways during this whole time along with her occasional outbursts of rage and sadness leading up to today.

Right now, she wanted to be alone. She wanted to have time to herself so she could collect herself and not be distracted by the amounts of useless compliments and oohing and grabby hands from people. She never liked being the center of attention nor being pawed over so we all respected her decision to be left alone until the time came for her to walk down the aisle.

I sat by the bar with Damon and his friends Edwin, Matt, Nick, Cyr, Kate and a few others I hadn't quite learned the names of. Tony, Jaime and Vic were with Mike trying to keep him calm and I wasn't allowed in the room so I was forced to stay out here.

~Jaime~

"Mike, Chill out! It's fine!" Vic growled as Mike, for the upteenth time, adjusted his tie. He was nervous, it was written all over his face that he was slowly losing it. We still had a about an hour and a half until he had to be at the altar and this would be the most aggravating hour and a half of our lives if Mike kept up this nervous fidgeting.

"No, everything has to be perfect." He mumbled and we all sighed. He was probably freaking out more than his soon to be wife was.

"Mike, just sit down. Everything is perfect. Your fiance has done an amazing job and it's all amazing. Don't worry about any of it." Tony reasoned and Mike just nodded, apprehension clear on his features.

I sat down and rubbed my face boredly. Vic was forcing us to stay in here with him and his brother so we could keep him calm enough to not drink himself into stupidity.
It was gonna be tough not to just bolt out and socialize with everyone that we could hear outside.

~Tony~

We were stuck inside a fairly small dressing room with Mike. By we I mean Jaime and I. Vic was making us stay for 'moral support' He didn't want to be alone with Mike and didn't want to leave Mike alone to do god knows what. I think Vic expected the worst to happen like Mike ending up too drunk to say his vows or even leave the room. I doubted that would happen though. This is one of the most important days of his life, I really don't think he would fuck it up by getting drunk. Then again, I've been wrong before.

"Please, just stay here with me." Vic begged again when I wanted to leave and go see my girl friend and just mingle with people.

"Fine but I'm not gonna stay in here for the whole two hours, that'd be insane. I'd go insane!" I whispered so Mike wouldn't know that we were being forced to stay here. He would flip if he knew his own brother thought he was gonna screw up if we left him alone.

Vic nodded. "Just stay for another forty five minutes and then you guys can leave." Jaime and I both nodded.

The time went quickly and we bid a nervous Mike good luck and Vic a goodbye and left the room.

~Vic~

Tony and Jaime had left to go talk to all of the friends and family outside while I stayed in the room for a little while with Mike until it was time.

I knew I probably could have let Mike be by himself but I was an over-worrier and I would never leave him to his own devices. I would stay in here until fifteen minutes before then I would have Priscilla check on Jayme and I would make sure everyone was in place.

I knew Mike would be fine if I left right now because he was just nervous. This was the first time he would be committing to something for life. I want to be here for him like he would be for me in this situation. So far, He's doing better than I think I would if I were getting married in a half hour.

"What if she leaves me at the altar?" Mike looked over at me with a sad expression. I mentally frowned at him for even thinking she would do that to him.

"She would never do that to you, Mike. Jayme loves you." I said hopeful to comfort him. He just looked away with a nod.

"If you want, we can go out in a little bit and see everyone before Jayme comes out." I said trying to make his uneasy mind calm down.

He nodded with a slight smile and I began counting down the minutes until we left this room.

I took a deep breath and put on a fake smile for him. I couldn't ruin his big day over my unrequited emotions for Jayme. They would soon be happy together and I could do nothing about it.

~Mike~

I paced the room until I felt like I had run a rut into the floor. I was beyond nervous. I was taking a huge step in my life. I would be married in less than a half hour. I would be married to the most beautiful girl I've had the pleasure of knowing. Vic tried his hardest to calm me down but there was no getting rid of my jitteriness. I was far too excited to that this leap.

"Come on, Let's get you all set up." Vic said while laying a reassuring hand on my shoulder. I thought he would have had some bitter feelings about all of this today but he surprised me by being all about it for me.

I stepped out of the dressing room I was forced into when I arrived at the beautiful beach front cottage Jayme had picked for the wedding. I adjusted my tie before being engulfed by congratulations and bombarded with family and friends. It made me feel a little more at ease having more than my bandmates to see and speak to. Everything looks so amazing that I was baffled that Jayme had planned this all on her own.

"How ya feeling, bud?" Priscilla asked noticing the slight look of fear on my face.

"I'll be fine once I see her." I sighed. All I wanted to do was see her or even hear her angelic raspy voice.

"You will, soon." She smiled warmly and squeezed my suit clad arm. I smiled back at her and soon got pulled away by my mother.

"I can't believe my baby boy is getting married!" She said with her eyes welling up and a bright proud smile on her face.

"Ma, stop! You're gonna ruin your makeup." I said with a chuckled and hugged her. She laughed heartily and sighed.

She dragged me around to greet the copious amounts of family members that were here. I had just finished up when it was time to start getting everyone seated.

I stood at the end of the aisle watching everyone be seated. I was breathing deeply to keep calm and the pastor noticed.

"You'll do fine, son." He said with a smile. He had been through this many times I'm sure but this was my first rodeo and I was a mixture of energy, excitement and nerves all packed into one nicely wrapped package.

Once everyone was seated, Priscilla gave me a questioning look while holding her thumb up and I took a deep breath and nodded.


It was time.

~Jayme~

I sat in front of this mirror just looking over my flawless simple makeup and beautiful dress while thinking about everything under the sun.

I wanted to be alone during this time to just reflect on everything leading up to today; the day every little girl dreamed about. I was happy, I have been for a while but sitting here kind of brought me down. Not in a bad way but in a crashing reality kind of way. I liked it.

I couldn't help but think this was a little rushed on both parts. I loved Mike dearly and I knew that he felt the same but we still had some things to work through. I didn't want married life to make things worse though.

I touched up my makeup before just relaxing into the chair. I rested my head on the back of it and sighed contently. I was getting married today. Maybe it was too soon but who cares! We were made for each other. Everyone said it from the beginning so if they had a problem with that today then they could go straight to fuck off street.

I looked at the clock and knew it was getting close. I was ready and not ready at the same time.

I wanted to run away and never look back but I couldn't.

I heard a soft knock on the door and told whoever it was to come in.

"It's time, babe." Priscilla said with a bright smug smile. I felt my breath hitch in my throat and panic coursed through my body.

"You'll be fine! Calm down." She cooed and hugged me.

"Mike is just as nervous as you are so don't fret." She said with a chuckle and I let out a sigh of relief knowing he was just as freaked out.

I watch as the bridesmaids lined up with the groomsmen. I had asked Damon to walk me down the aisle since I had no significant male figure in my life so he came up to me with a nervous smile.

"Are you ready, m'lady?" He asked in a ridiculous accent making me giggle. Damon was like my silly younger brother and he always knew how to make me feel better no matter how I was feeling.

The doors soon opened and each pair of people stepped down the aisle and lined up on either side of Mike. I could barely see him because we were just around the corner. I looked over at Damon and nodded.

We stepped out of the doors as Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder played lightly in the background. I didn't want the classic 'Here Comes The Bride' song; I wanted something truly classic, unique and beautiful.

I kept my eyes locked on Mike. He looked so amazing there in his suit and dark orange tie. I was a lucky girl to get such a looker like himself. I caught a good one.

I felt as though the world had been put on pause when I reach the altar. Mike grabbed both of my hands and gave them a light kiss.

"You look beautiful, as alway." He whispered before the pastor gave a loud cough to have everyone quiet down. We both looked towards him and smiled politely.
He smiled brightly and began;

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here today to join together this man and this woman, in holy matrimony. Into this holy estate these two persons come now to be joined. If any here can show just cause why they may not lawfully be joined together, let them now speak, or else hereafter forever hold their peace."

I cautiously looked over at Vic who stood just past Mike. I could see his jaw line tense up and his hands ball up into fists.

I let out a calm and quiet sigh when he said nothing. I know it was bad but part of me wanted someone to think the same way I did earlier. Thinking about it now made my heart hurt.

"Will you, Michael Christopher Fuentes, Take Jayme Brooks to be your lawfully wedded wife; To have and to hold Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health. As long as you both shall live?" The pastor asked with a peaked brow.

"I will." Mike said lovingly and looked into my eyes with a smile that took up his whole face.

"Will you, Jayme Brooks, Take Michael Christopher Fuentes to be your lawfully wedded husband; To have and to hold Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health. As long as you both shall live?" The pastor asked again.

"I will" I said, not breaking my loving stare from Mike.

"Then I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride, may peace and love be forever with you." The pastor said with a big smile and looked at the two of us.

Mike grinned smugly at me and pulled me close. He dipped me down and kissed me in the sweetest way. I could hear everyone cheering and whistling and we kissed. We pulled apart and I could feel the blood run up to my cheeks.

We walk down the aisle, hand in hand, a married couple.




Mr. and Mrs. Fuentes.
