[At Bridal Shop.  Delia is modeling her wedding dress in front of the mirror.  Rachel has on a long light blue bridesmaid gown.  Tori and Morgan come outin similar dresses]
TORI:  These are beautiful.  I feel like a princess.
RACHEL:  People whine about always being a bridesmaid and never the bride.  I like being a bridesmaid.
DELIA:   Actually you're the maid of honor
RACHEL:  True
TORI:  Aw Rae, you don't mind cause you know you'll get your chance to be a bride
MORGAN:  Several times perhaps
RACHEL:  Yeah, Taylor would make a good second husband
DELIA:  And our initials--they don't change.  I'm still DKH.
RACHEL:  [models in front of mirror]  Rachel Leanne Hanson?  Rachel Hanson.  [sticks out tongue]  yuck.  Mrs. Zachary Hanson.  Zac and Rachel Hanson.
TORI:  [laughs]  Victoria Jackson.  Tori and Matt Jackson
RACHEL:  It sounds better than Rachel Hanson.
MORGAN:  Hows about Morgan Casi?  No--Morgan Beshore Casi.
DELIA:  How modern of you.
RACHEL:  Rachel Heverling Hanson.  Ah, much better
TORI:  I bet thats why that started.  Adding on instead of changing the last name.  Cause it sounded better.
DELIA:  On Saturday, I'll be Delia Hanson.  [laughs] Mrs.  Cluck Hanson.
RACHEL:  Cluck!  I forgot!
MORGAN:  Cluck?
RACHEL:  Up until Tay was six, before we met you, Tay could not say his 'r's for the life of him.  He's either say them as 'w's or skim them completely.
TORI:  yeah, and at the time, was [imitates] Jowdan.
DELIA:  And Ike was still going by Clarke, only Tay couldn't say Clarke
RACHEL:  It came out Cluck
DELIA:  Ike didn't like it to say the least.  Thats when he started going by Isaac.
TORI:  And if he's going by his middle name, Tay must comply and do so as well.
RACHEL:  it took a while, but eventually he went from being Jowdan to Tayla
DELIA:  He was so cute.  he could actually say my name.  And its all cuz I have no 'r's.
TORI:  Rub it in.  I was Towey.  Right Wachel?
RACHEL:  haha!  I forgot he called me Wachel.  [Morgan laughs]
TORI:  Delia, you look so beautiful--even if you will be Mrs. Cluck Hanson
DELIA:  I don't think I'd have it any other way.

[Rachel sits up in bed.  Looks out window and then at Zac lying next to her.  Glares for her alarm clock.  Zac shuffles beside her and sits up.]
ZAC:  Turn that damn thing off!
RACHEL:  I don't know where it is.  [The two start looking for it.  Zac produces it form under the bed.]
ZAC:  This what you were looking for
RACHEL:  Thanks [shuts it off]  Delia and Isaac are getting married today.
ZAC:  I know, isn't it crazy.
RACHEL:  yeah, it really is. . .do you think we'll ever get married. . .someday.
ZAC:  I don't know.  I mean, if you want Taylor, go with him.  Don't come with me only because you don't want to hurt me.  I know it sound lame, but I only want you to be happy.
RACHEL:  Zac, I think that when you are in love, everything sounds lame. . .but sometimes. . .
ZAC:  Thats really how you feel
RACHEL:  yeah.  I think you're who I want. . .but I can't be sure. . .at least not yet
ZAC:  Take your time, Rae.  We're young.  We've got a lot of time ahead of us.  There is no reason to rush things between us.  That would only result in one big giant mess.  It could get icky.  Just, ya know, if you marry someone else, promise me that you won't go psyco bitch on my ass and forbid me to see my daughter.
RACHEL:  Oh, you'll see your daughter.  You'll see her plenty.
ZAC:  Good.  [short period of silence]
RACHEL:  We've got to get ready for the wedding.

[At Church]
[Guys Dressing Room]
ISAAC:  Oh my God!  Is this it?  Am I actually geting married?
TAYLOR:  Stand still, Ike.  You're getting on my nerves.
ZAC:  Mine too.  Sheesh, Ike.
ISAAC:  Stand still?  I'm getting married!  To Delia!  This was the right thing to do, right?  I mean, I love her.  And I want to be with her forever.  What if she can't stand being married to me and wants a divorce.
TAYLOR:  Ike--you love her, she loves you
ZAC:  Sometimes love just ain't enough.  [Taylor glares at Zac]
ISAAC:  Zac!
ZAC:  What?  Isn't that a song?
TAYLOR:  Anyway, you love each other
ZAC:  Only God knows why.  Hey, thats a song, too
TAYLOR:  Right.  But Ike, chill.  Don't think so much.  It will work between you two. I know it.
ZAC:  Whats love got to do with it.  Haha.  Another song!
ISAAC:  Delia is marrying me, Tay.  I'm marrying her.  Delia!  Delia heverling!
ZAC:  White Wedding!  Billy Idol!
ISAAC:  She called me sissy boy.  When and how did I ever fall in love with Delia.
ZAC:  When I fall in love.  Thats from Sleepless in Seattle.  That has Tom Hanks in it.  Tom Hanks was in Forrest Gump.  He was also in Toy Story with Tim Allen.  And in a League of their Own with Madonna.  Madonna sang Crazy for You.
TAYLOR:  Zac, did you say something?
ZAC:  More than Anything!  Wait!  Don't we sing that?
TAYLOR, ISAAC:  Zac, shut up!
ZAC:  Huh?
ISAAC:  I said, when and how did I ever fall in love with Delia?
ZAC:  Oh. Dunno.  But you did.  And you two are good together.  I fell for Rachel.
TAYLOR:  Me too.  Who saw that one coming.
ISAAC:  I did.  Ever since you were young--when me and Delia were just friends, we used to make up stories mocking you two--and about how you were going to grow up and get married.  And getting married was stupid.  We both vowed we would never get married.  She was my blood ssiter.  And dating.  Dating was okay.  Do you guys even know how we got together.
ZAC:  Nope
TAYLOR:  Nuh-uh
ISAAC:  Well, I was dating that girl Tay liked named Tiffany and I had never kissed a girl.  I told Delia that I thought I might kiss Tiff.
[Cut to girls in dressing room]
DELIA:  So I asked him if he had ever kissed a girl.  He said no.  Then I said "What if you suck and she dumps you"
TORI:  Aw, Delia, thats cruel
DELIA:  I know.  But he said that he hadn't thougth of that and he better practice.  So I asked him who exactly he planned on practicing with.  He didn't exactly know what ot say.  The he goes, and I remember his exact words, "Dee, can I practice on you?"  I thought I would die.  I mean, ew, this was Isaac.  The thought of kissing him made me want to puke.  But he looked so desperate and pathertic that I said yes.  Well, actually, it was more like, [mumbles] Yeah, I guess so, if you really want to . [normal again] but still. . .
RACHEL:  And so he kissed you
DELIA:  Yeah.  It was really awkward at first and I was quite disgusted, but not cause it was Ike I was having my first kiss with, but rather that I was having my first kiss with Ike and enjoying it.
MORGAN:  This would make a good soap opera episode
TORI:  It actually would
RACHEL:  So what happened.
DELIA:  Well, we were kissing and I pulled away.  So he asked me if something was wrong, cause all we were doing was practicing.  He for Tif and me for that guy I was dating named Craig.  But it didn't mean anything.
TORI:  Aw, were you upset
DELIA:  [laughs] Upset?  Ha!  [sad] I was crushed.  That kiss was all it took for me to fall for Ike.  Which was weird because it was Ike.  My very best friend.  So me and my big mouth.  After he said it was only practice and it didn't mean anything, I said, and I quote, "Well, Ike, it meant something to me."
RACHEL:  And the plot thickens
MORGAN:  Thats cute
TORI:  So what did he say.
DELIA:  He said "me too".  Then he kissed me again.  And the rest is istory.  Here we are getting married.  [Karen comes in]
KAREN:  Dee, its almost time.  You look gorgeous, honey.  Are you ready for this?
DELIA:  [smiles]  As ready as I'll ever be [hugs Karen]  I love you, mom.
[In church.  Music starts.  First Avery comes down aisle dropping flower petals.  She is followed by Tori, Morgan, Rachel and finally Delia being escorted by Rob.  She walks up the aisle and smiles at Ike.  Diana bursts into tears.  Karen pats her on the back.]
MINISTER:  We are gather here today to join Delia Heverling and Clarke hanson in Holy Matrimony.  If there is anoyone who believes that these two should not be wed, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.
ALEX:  [jumps up]  I have somthing to say.  Delia, I love you.
DELIA:  Omigod
ISAAC:  Delia?
DELIA:  Ike, forget him.  Alex,
RACHEL:  Shut up and sit down before I knock you out.
ALEX:  Oh--um, nevermind.  [sits back down]
MINISTER:  As I was saying, let them speak now or forever hold their peace
ALEX:  [stands up] Wait
DELIA, RACHEL:  Alex!
ALEX:  Sorry, but Delia you are too young and he's the only serious boyfriend that you've ever had.  I do not condone this because I'm looking out for you and I'm your friend.
JAKE:  You two are young.  Almost too young.  I don't know about this.
DIANA:  [to Karen]  What are they doing to our babies' wedding?
DELIA:  Fine!  You don't condone it?  Okay!  I won't get married!  I'll go train for the nunnary!  Goodbye, Isaac.  [runs out of church]
ZAC:  Runaway Bride is a movie.
ISAAC:  [looks from Alex to Jake]  Thanks guys [leaves and goes to dressing room]
ZAC: This actually happens in movies a lot.  Like, in It Takes Two.  Except she ran out after she got turned down at the alter by Steve Guttenburg.  My Mary-Kate was in that.
RACHEL:  [yells]  What is your problem?  They love each other and want to be together forever.  Thats what will make them happy!
ZAC:  [starts humming Sheryl Crow, 'If  it makes you happy']
RACHEL:  They've dated for eight years!  My God!  If you were their friends, you wouldn't have ruined what was supposed to be the happiest day  of their lives.  What a memorable occasion!  [screams as loud as possible] The day my friends ruined my life!!!  [whispers to Tay]  Can you go get Delia?  I'll work on Ike since he never listens to you.  [Tay nods.  Both leave to find Ike and Delia]
[Outside on church steps, Delia sitting and crying]
TAYLOR:  Delia, don't cry.  [sits down next to her and hands her a tissue]
DELIA:  Tay, they ruined my wedding.  I wanted it to be perfect. [dabs at eyes]  Now its a mess.
TAYLOR:  Don't care what they all say, Delia.  If you know you want this, that its time and you're ready, then do it.  Ignore them.
DELIA:  Its not that simple, Tay.
TAYLOR:  Sure it is.  They don't want to see you marry Ike, right?  [Delia nods]  All the more reason to do it.  You march your ass back in there and marry him.  Don't let thme break you up.  If that happens, then they've won, and we can't let that happen.
DELIA:  I don't want to lose Ike.  He's one of the greatest things in my life.  of course, friend like you rank up there pretty high.
TAYLOR:  Aww, you're embarrassing me.  But, really, don't let anyone ruin something you know in your heart is right.  Not you, not me, not anyone.  You belong with Isaac.  No matter how cruel it is to say that.
DELIA:  Aw, Tay, I love Ike
TAYLOR:  Why this strange phenomenon is happening is still up for debate.  But don't let that stop you either.
DELIA:  Tay, there's lots of reasons.
TAYLOR:  Lets go get Ike and you back in that church
DELIA:  Hey, Taylor--
TAYLOR:  Yeah?
DELIA:  Thanks  [hugs him]
TAYLOR:  You're welcome
[In church.  Ike is pissed and throwing things around guys' dressing room.  Ouside the room, Rachel cautiously walks towards it]
RACHEL: [knocks]  Hey, Ike, you in there?
ISAAC:  Rae, go away
RACHEL:  Ikey, come on.  Can I come in.
ISAAC:  Yeah, I guess.  [Rachel goes in room]  What do you want?
RACHEL:  Ike, you can't let them get to you.
ISAAC:  But what if they're right?
RACHEL:  You'll never know unless you try.  And what if you listen to them and they were wrong?  then you jsut lost time with Delia.
ISAAC:  I know.  I'm just afraid. What if I'm not any good for Dee and I ruin her life.
RACHEL:  Yeah, right, Ike.  You and Delia belong together. . .trust me.  And don't even thing you aren't good enough.  So Jake and Alex are concerned. . .big deal.  Jake knows you two belong with each other--he's just pointing out that you're young.  Alex doesn't know you and barely knows Delia.  How can you base the rest of your lives on their opinions.
ISAAC:  I guess I can't.  Thanks Rae.
RACHEL:  Hey, you were always there for me.  I guess its time to repay the favor.  I'm always going to be here for you.  That's a promise.
ISAAC:  Thanks, Rachel.  I'm always going to be here for you too.  So--
RACHEL:  So. . .
ISAAC:  I guess its time--again, huh?
RACHEL:  Yep.  Its time--you can marry Delia and become a part of the Heverling family.
ISAAC:  Oh God--as if my own family isn't bad enough--now the Heverlings.  Ya know, no matter how screwed up things got, I always remembered I wasn't a Heverling, but now. . .
RACHEL:  Hey!  I like being a Heverling!  So what if we make things a little complicated.
ISAAC:  A little?  [knock at door]
RACHEL:  Who is it?
DELIA:  [from outside door]  Delia
TAYLOR:  And Taylor
DELIA:  Yeah, him too
ISAAC:  Come on it  [Delia and Tay come in]  Hey
DELIA:  Are you ready to go try this again?
ISAAC:  As ready as I'll ever be.  Lets go.  [They leave room together]
RACHEL:  [clasps hands and sighs] They're so cute.  [to Tay]  C'mon Best Man, You did good.
TAYLOR:  Why thank you.  You did as well, Miss Maid of Honor.  [holds out hand]  Shall we?
RACHEL:  [takes his hand]  We shall  [leave room]
[Delia and Isaac walk down aisle with Tay and Rachel following]
[All take their places]
MINISTER:  Now where were we?
ISAAC:  [prompts]  If anyone objects. . .
RACHEL:  Aw, can't we just skip that part!
MINISTER:  If anyone objects, may they speak now or forever hole their peace.  [silence]  Okay!  Clarke. . .[Ike puts ring on Delia's finger]
TORI:  Cluck [Tori, Morgan, Rae and Delia start giggling.  Isaac glares at her]
MINISTER:  Do you take Delia to be your lawful wedded wife.  To have and to hold, in sickness and in health for as long as you both shall live?
ISAAC:  I do
MINISTER:  Delia [she puts ring on his finger] Do you take Clarke {Tori, Morgan and Rachel start giggling again] to be your lawful wedded husband.  To have and to hold in sickness and in health for as long as you both shall live.
DELIA:  I do.
MINISTER:  Then by the power invested in me by the state of Pennsylvania, I not pronounce you husband and wife.  You may kiss the bride.  [Ike and Delia kiss]
[At reception]
RACHEL:  Okay, why do they say "you may kiss the bride".  Why can't the bride kiss the groom.  My minister better say "you may now kiss the groom."
MORGAN:  I know, I'm feeling repressed here.  Where are my civil rights?  [pounds on table.]
TORI:  Hey--there's Delia!  [girls go give Delia hugs]  So, how does it feel to be a married woman.
DELIA:  Its great!  So far!
MORGAN:  Mrs. Clarke Hanson.  [starts laughing]  Give me another hug!
DELIA:  [hugs Morgan]  So, Rachel.
RACHEL:  Aw, sis, give me a hug.  [they hug]
ISAAC:  [comes over to them.  Rachel throws her arms around him]  Hey, Rachel.  thanks for saving the wedding
RACHEL:  Ah, its nothing.  Well, Tay helped.   A little.  Welcome to the family.  You better take care of my sister.  Or I'll be after you.
ISAAC:  Don't worry, I know, you'll hurt me.  Delia is in good hands.
RACHEL:  I know.  [she kisses him on the cheek and hugs Delia again]  Shit, I think I'm gonna cry.
ISAAC:  [puts his arms around Delia]  Awe, Rae, don't do that.

[At Heverlings one week later.  Delia has already moved.  Rob and Karen are bringing Dena to the house.  Robbie, Joey and Rachel are waiting in living room]
ROBBIE:  This is seriously gonna suck.  Another girl!
JOEY:  Maybe she'll be hot.
RACHEL, ROBBIE:  Joey, ewww.
ROBBIE:  She's be our sister.
JOEY:  But not for real.
ROBBIE:  Its still gross.
RACHEL:  Yeah, it really is.
ROBBIE:  What do you think she's gonna be like?
RACHEL:  Who?  Dena?
JOEY:  Prolly
ROBBIE:  Yeah
JOEY:  I dunno.  I hope she isn't seriously unhinged like that chick in the Exorcist.
RACHEL:  Yeah and when her head starts spinning, you know its time to be worried.
JOEY:  Or like hat guy in the Shining
RACHEL:  [in demonic voice]  Red rum.  Redrum.
JOEY:  Well, she had such a freaky past. . .
ROBBIE:  Maybe she's a psychopathic murdered
RACHEL:  And spits green foam!
JOEY:  That would be kinda cool
RACHEL:  Redrum.  Redrum.  All work and no play makes Dena a dull girl.
ROBBIE:  Remind me to make comfortable. . .far away from me.
RACHEL:  Redrum [Joey smacks her]
JOEY:  Knock it off.  You're freaking me out.
RACHEL:  A sudden act of violence like that could lead a person to do something evil and unexpected--like strangeling your poor little body and leaving it to rot
JOEY:  Uh. . .I love you, Rachel.
RACHEL:  Okay, I love you, too.  I won't strangle you.
JOEY:  Okay [silence]
RACHEL:  [quickly and quietly]  Redrum
JOEY:  Rachel!
RACHEL:  Jeez! Sorry!  I didn't know that acting satanic was a crime.
ROBBIE:  [laughs]  You were getting freaky.
RACHEL:  I'm practicing for Dena.  She's gonna need one of her own kind around.
JOEY:  [laughs]
[Cut to Adoption Center.  Rob and Karen are packing up the Heverling van.  Dena walks out of the building and to the van carrying a suitcase.  She has long dark curly hair, fair skin and big green eyes.  She's fairly short, but still taller than Tori, Rae and Morgan]
DENA:  Rob, Karen--are you sure you want me around.  I'm like a walking disaster.
ROB:  Dena, don't be ridiculous.  Of course we want you around.  [All get in van and buckle up.  Rob starts driving]
DENA:  Can you tell me a bit about my new sisters and brothers?
KAREN:  Of course.  Well, we already have five with you.  Our eldest daughter is twenty and was just married.  She moved back home to Oklahoma where we'll be going within the year.
DENA:  She just got married?
KAREN:  yep and you'll be taking her bedroom.  He name is Delia.  Then we have Rachel.  Rae's 16 and has a 13 month old daughter named Ember.
DENA: She had a daughter and she's 16!?
KAREN:  [groans] I know, its bad.  But yes.  I'm sure you'll like Rae.
ROB:  Yeah.  I think you'll like Rae.  Its Robbie and Jeoy that you'll hate.
KAREN:  Yes, the twins are eleve and are typical little brotehrs.  Enough said.
DENA:  This is going to be great.  Like a real family.  [smiles and settles back into her seat]  I've never had an annoying little brother before, and now I'll have 2.
ROB:  Oh and annoying they are.
DENA:  So, its Delia, whom I won't meet until we move
KAREN:  Right
DENA:  And then I'm living with Rachel, Joey and Robbie.  And now I'm Dena Michelle Heverling.
KAREN:  Yep you are.
ROB:  We're sorry.
DENA:  For what?
ROB:  Making you a Heverling.  Just make sure that people know that you aren't blood.
DENA:  Oh I'm sure it isn't all that bad.
KAREN:  Its very eventful  [pull up at Heverling house]
ROB:  Well, here we are.  [All get out and unload suticases.  Rob opens the door]  Come on in, Dena.  [Rachel, Joey and Robbie come into the room]  [Karen walks in with Dena behind her]
KAREN:  Where's Ember
RACHEL:  Napping
ROB:  Kids, this is Dena
DENA:  Hi
RACHEL:  Hey, I'm Rae
ROBBIE:  And I'm Robbie
JOEY:  I'm Joey
DENA:  Hey
RACHEL:  Come on, I'll show you to your room and then give you the grand tour.
JOEY:  [as RAchel and Dena are going up the stairs]  [in demonic voice]  Redrum.
