The big day had finally arrived for Carter and Lucy and the tensions are rising. They are so excited and they can't wait until it’s official. After all the time and planning their dreams are about to come true.
******************************************************
It was now four hours until the wedding.
Lucy along with her mom, Abby and Elizabeth made there way to the hairdressers. Lucy and the gang walked though the doors of the hairdressers and they though they walked into another world. Everything in the place looked extremely expensive, they were disappointed by the fact that they were underly dressed. They just showed up in jeans and button downed shirts. She was going to kill John for not telling them that they couldn’t wear street clothes.
“Well, if this is what it’s like to live in the Carter family, I think maybe I will dump Mark and become part of John’s family.” Said Elizabeth in a whisper, teasing Lucy.
Lucy was smiling, when she said, “Elizabeth stop it, and there comes John’s mother and grandmother.They all looked in the direction Lucy was, and immediately started smiling.
“Lucy, its great you’re here, you didn’t have any problems did you?”
“No, Mrs Carter I didn’t, and this is my mother, Barbara and my friends, Elizabeth and Abby. Elizabeth is going to be my matron of honour. Everyone this is John’s mother Eleanor, and his grandmother Millicent.”
“Nice to meet you everyone,” John’s mother said politely.
“Nice to see you again Abby it’s been a long time.” Millicent said.
“That it has! I am sorry I didn't introduce you to everyone earlier.”
“Well I couldn’t blame you, you have other things on your mind right now, like the wedding.”
“Well we better get you all pretty and get this day moving. We can continue talking while having our hair done.” Said Eleanor. Eleanor and Millicent showed Elizabeth and Lucy through to a private room at the back of the hairdressers. Which contained chairs facing each other in a circle; they were told this was, so group bookings could talk to each other while having their hair done.
******************************************************
After they finished at the hairdressers, Lucy had told her she wanted to go back to the house and get ready. Eleanor, Millicent and Barbara all agreed with her as did the others.
“Mrs.Carter, is Barbara going to make in in time for the ceremony?”
“I don't know Lucy she is still stuck in France.”
*****************************************************
They were going to get ready at John grandparents house, even though she saw John this morning she didn’t think it was right for the groom to see his bride in her dress before the wedding. Barbara, Abby, Elizabeth, Eleanor and Millicent were dressed and ready to go, now they were helping Lucy into her dress. The dress was made from Japanese silk, which made of a tight bodest on the top and the bottom of the dress came out a little, and touched the floor, All thanks to Vera Wang. And the vail was as long as the back of the dress, which was connected to a crown that she had worn at her Sweet 16.
Lucy turned around to face the others, they all said “Wow,” at the same time.
The staff at the ER had started a pool on John and Lucy, and someone bet that one day they would get married. Well little did we ever guess that Kerry would win the 500 dollar pool money.
There was a knock on the door, and it slowly opened and standing there in the doorway was Lucy’s grandfather, “You look absolutely stunning my dear!”
“Thank you grandpa.”
“So are you ready to become Mrs. John Carter?”
She nodded excitingly towards her grandfather. “Abby do you think John will like how I look?” Abby and Elizabeth both nodded their heads and smiled at Lucy, “Oh Lucy, John thinks you look stunning in scrubs. Now just imagine how stunning you look in that beautiful dress.” Lucy smiled back at them.
******************************************************
Lucy, her grandfather Abby, and Elizabeth were waiting patiently in the lobby of the church waiting for the wedding march to start. “God, I can’t believe I’m marrying my teacher?”
Elizabeth laughed, “We knew it would happen one day.”
The wedding march starts.
“Good Luck Lucy in a short time you will be Mrs. Lucy Carter, how do you feel?”
“Nervous!”
Her grandfather smiles back, “There’s no need to be nervous, so lets get this wedding going!” Abby walks out into the aisle, shortly followed by Elizabeth then followed by Lucy and her grandfather.
******************************************************
John stares up the aisle looking at Lucy; he couldn’t believe how beautiful she looked. As she was walking it seemed like it was only them two in the church and no one else mattered. Lucy arrived at the alter and stood next to John as the priest started talking, “We are joined here today to witness the joyous union of John Truman Carter and Lucy Anne Knight, if any one knows of any reason why these two should not wed speak now or forever hold your peace.” The church is silent except for a few sobs from people crying, “John Truman Carter do you take this women Lucy Anne Knight to be your lawfully wedded wife?”
“I do!”
“Lucy Anne Knight do you take this man John Truman Carter to be your lawfully wedded husband?”
“I do!”
“Do you have the rings?” Peter Benton, John’s best man hands the rings to the priest. “Now John speak after me. With this ring I take Lucy Anne Knight to be my wife in sickness and in health to death do us part.” John re-sights his vows. “Now Lucy speak after me, with this ring I take John Truman Carter to be my husband in sickness and in health to death do us part.” Lucy re-sights her vows. “I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride.” Lucy faces John and John slowly lifts up the vail over Lucy’s head and they kiss each other sweetly.
“I love you John.”
“I love you more, Luce.”
They turned around to face the congregation as music started and hand in hand, they walked down the aisle as husband and wife.
