�Yeah.  Funny, but cute.�
�She knew I was joking.�
�You got her to ease up, that�s what she needed.�
�I know.  Sides, I think we knew for a while who belonged with whom.�
�Oh, you�re sayin� you didn�t know you belonged to Tiffany?�  He laughed and brought my hand to his lips.
�Nah, she was just�I don�t know.  There�s one girl I could ever really love.�
�Oh, okay, let me get her.  MEGAN!� I screamed.
�That was good.�
�I do try.  I love you Howie.�
�I love you too.�  He leaned down and lightly kissed me.
�Come on now, it�s my day, I�m the only one supposed to be kissing.�  I laughed at her and we all walked out of the room.  I watched Howie walk out the doors and stand beside AJ.  He made AJ laugh and I looked at Megan.
�Relax.  Listen to your heart only.�  I gave her a hug and took my place in line.

She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath.  She heard the music start and looked as the crowd turned to look at her.  She smiled as she knew the friends and the family that was there.  She turned her face up towards the sun and smelled the flowers in full bloom.  The wedding was held outside at this little park.  The trees we decorated with ribbons and the flowers added their own color to the scene.  Than her eyes danced over her bridesmaids and the groomsmen and it finally settled on the groom himself.  Their eyes locked and with that the world stopped spinning.  Megan started walking out but it felt like she was on air.  Soon, she was holding her to-be-husband�s hand and was hearing the priest.  She tuned him out, just bathing in the warm sun and the love shinning in AJ�s eyes.  Her heart was pounding, coming up with it�s own tune.  Her body felt like it was floating.  And it was her own world with no one else but her man there.  She smiled at him and he smiled back.  They knew it was perfect, just perfect.  Eyes locked, fingers entwined, hearts pounding.  That�s how they would remember these magical moments.  Nothing could compare to this.  They were in love and would always be in love.  No matter what would happen, their love would stand the age of time.  Megan faintly heard the priest say something about vows and she heard AJ�s sweet voice ring in her ears.  The priest turned to her and told her to repeat her vows.  She did and smiled when AJ looked like he just crossed the path into Heaven.  They exchanged rings and he leaned down, and kissed her, very much like their very first kiss.  The earth stopped spinning, their hearts pounding as if it was the first time they consummated they�re love.  They pulled away and smiled to each other.
�I love you,� AJ said.
�I love you too Alex.�  He smiled and took her hand and together, they walked down the aisle.  Never have you seen two people so happy and so much in love.  They walked with such grace, almost as if they were walking on clouds.  They were in their own world, never really hearing anyone else around them.

�MEGAN!!!� I yelled as I ran into my bathroom.
�What?  Again?�  Megan yelled, cleaning up my mess.  �Have you gone to the doctors?�
�Yeah, and it�s not nerves.  I�m pregnant.  I guess I was to be lucky,� I said, smiling. 
�Does Howie know?�
�Not yet.�  She rolled her eyes and went out into the changing room.
�Come on, we gotta fix you up.�  I sat down in the chair and watched as she put my make up on and fixed my hair.  I pulled my dress on and she looked me over.  �Purple and white, two lovely colors.�  I smiled and looked at myself in the mirror.  �So, no more throwing up, right?�
�Hey, it�s not my choice if I have to.�  I sighed and sat down in the chair again.  �You know me and D tried to avoid this.  Not this soon.  And I�m not sure he�s going to like it.�
�Like what?� AJ asked, stepping into the room.
�Nothing.  Come help me with my dress, please?�
�Sure babe.�  I watched them walk out of the room and than I looked back at myself.  I rubbed my tummy, thankful I was only a few months along and that my dress still fit fine.  Well, it was a tad bit tighter than when I had last worn it.  �Have you told him?� AJ asked, leaning against the door frame.
�Not yet.  I�m scared.  What if it�s too soon?  I mean, we didn�t want kids this soon, but I can�t change now can I?�
�No you can�t.  And you know Howie will love this kid.  He�s going to be thrilled that you have it.  Now come on, be happy Theresa.  This is a special day for you and Howie.�  I stood up and pulled my veil on and fixed it so that it surrounded my face.  I picked up my bouquet and smiled.
�Ready.�
�Sure.  You�ll never be ready girl,� Megan said and drew me into a hug.  �Just remember that you two love each other.  And will always love each other.  He�s going to be so happy when he hears this good news,� she said, rubbing my belly.
�Thanks.�  AJ drew me in his arms and kissed my cheek.
�I�m happy for ya, you two deserve each other.�
�I like to think so.�  I smiled and we walked out of the room.  I heard the waves and I sighed to myself.
I glanced up at the moon and saw the stars shinning bright.  I looked out at the ocean, looking into the distance.  I sighed and looked back at all my friends and family.  I finally locked eyes with Howie and he smiled at me.  I saw his lips move and I smiled.  I heard the music and took a deep breath.  I walked down the aisle, never hearing anything, other than the pounding of my heart.  I smiled and looked down when I reached him.  He lifted my chin and our eyes held.  He held my hand tight, afraid to every let go.  I heard the waves crashing, thanking mother nature for it�s great music and wonderful lights.  The moon was bright, and full and I loved it so much.  The wind was light but made the waves crash and thankful for that.  I got my dream wedding with my dream man.  The priest asked us to repeat after him and Howie went first.  I smiled and repeated what I faintly heard.  I grabbed my ring and lightly touched my belly.  Howie�s eyes followed my hand and when he put the ring on my finger, he gave me an odd look.  And when he kissed me, he finally figured out what I meant.  He picked me up and swung me around in his arms.
�We�re going to have a baby?� he asked as he finally put me down.  I stared into his brown eyes and laughed.
�Yes, we are.�  He pulled me in for a kiss and pulled away just as quick.
