The girls still had no idea that their families and friends were in Paris for their wedding, and they sat talking about it on their way to the church. "I really wish mum and dad could be here too see this." Eliza said, and sighed. "I know, me too." They arrived at the church, and were shown to a room where they could get dressed. "Where's Shane and Mark?" Liz asked the priest. "They're already here, miss. Now you just get changed, and someone will come and get you." he said, and smiled at them. They smiled back and thanked him.20 minutes later they stood next to each other in the room, waiting anxiously for someone to get them. "Oh, I'm so nervous! I can't believe this is happening!" Eliza said, and Liz smiled at her. "Me too, look! My hands are shaking!" she said, and held her hands out for Eliza to see. Someone knocked on the door, and they looked at each other. "Come in!" they called. Their fathers entered, and smiled at them. "You girls look like angels." Eliza's father said, hugging his daughter. "Daddy! You're here! But how did you know, why�?" Liz' face lit up, and she looked at Eliza. "They've planned this all along!" the two girls said in sync. "Yes, they have. Now, are you ready to do this?" Eliza smiled, and nodded. "Yes, I am. Good luck, Liz." She hugged her. "Thank you. Good luck to you too, Eliza." Their father leaded the way out, and walked them down the aisle. Shane gasped quietly when he saw Eliza coming down towards him. She walked slowly; to him it looked like she was floating. Eliza's eyes were tearing up when she saw her family and her friends, sitting there. She and Shane were the first ones out, and Liz and Mark sat on the side, watching them. Mark was wearing a white tuxedo, and so was Shane. He held Liz hands in his own, and she smiled happily at him. At the altar Shane kissed his beautiful bride, and the priest nodded to Mark. "Okay, our turn." he whispered to her. They got up, and Liz saw Eliza smiling at her. She winked at her, and smiled back.

The two newlywed couples walked down the aisle and their families followed behind them. "Mum! I can't believe you're here!" Liz said, hugging her mother. "Well, how could we not come to our daughters wedding?" her mother answered, and hugged Mark. "Mark called us before you left for Paris, and told us what they were planning." her mother explained. "Mark, really? You did?" Liz looked at her husband. She couldn't stop smiling. "Yes, that was the whole purpose of going to Paris. Shane and I had planned this for a
few weeks now." he said, and smiled at her. A bit further away from them, Shane told Eliza the same thing. "So that's why we brought you down here. We had planned this for a few weeks now." Eliza smiled at him, and he kissed his wife. "I still can't quite believe that you're my wife. It's like a dream." he whispered in her ear. "I know," she whispered back. "Now people, we're going back to the hotel for dinner and party!" one of Shane's older brothers called out, and they all got into their various cars. The newlyweds
drove a limousine back to the hotel, and they arrived just after their guests had come in the door."They have arrived, let the party begin!" Liz' brother said.

The party lasted long into the night, but Shane, Eliza, Mark and Liz left just before midnight. "Have a good trip, dear." Mae, Shane's mother said, and hugged Eliza. "Thank you, we will." she answered. "And you take good care of your wife, you hear Shane! It wouldn't hurt if you came back with a grandchild either." his mum teased. "Mum!" he said embarrassed. "We have to go now, bye!" They waved their families and friends goodbye, and got in the limousine. It drove them to the airport, where their ways split. Shane
and Eliza were going to Malta first, then to California. Mark and Liz were heading to Italy, then to Mexico. Eliza hugged Liz, "You have a good time, Liz! And call me when you get back, okay?" Liz nodded, "I will. And you have a great time too, Eliza!" Then their flight was called, and Mark gave both Eliza and Shane a hug before he and Liz ran for their gate.Eliza and Shane were left behind, waiting for their flight. He saw tears running down her cheeks, and he kissed her. "What is it, honey?" he asked. Eliza smiled at him "Nothing. I'm just so happy. I've had a great time here in Paris, I've just got married to the man of my dreams, and so has my
best friend. It's like a dream come true." she said, and wiped her tears away. Shane took her in his arms, "Me too. I still can't believe I'm married to the girl of my dreams, and that we're standing here, waiting to go on our honeymoon!" he said, and she laughed. "Come on, we've got to go to our gate." she smiled at him. "Okay, let's go then Mrs. Filan!" he said, and put his arm around her waist. "I love that name!" she said laughing. "Good, because you're stuck with it the rest of your life!" he laughed with her. "I love you, Mrs. Filan." he said, and kissed her. "And I love you, Mr. Filan." Eliza smiled at him, and Shane knew that he would never want anyone
else but her.

At the same time, high above them, Mark sat with his head on his wife's shoulder. "I can't wait to go to Venice," he said, and she smiled. "I thought you had been in Venice before?" she said. "I can't wait to go there with you. That's what I meant. I see everything differently when I'm with you." he said. "How sweet, Mark!" she said, and kissed his head. "You make me sweet," he looked at her. "I love you, Mrs. Feehily." he said with a smile. "You told the room service guy to say that, didn't you?" she asked. He nodded guiltily. " Oh, I love you, Feehily!" she said, and gave him a big kiss.
