“Oh, so sorry, sir,” Cait teased. “How was your night?”
“It was totally awesome,” Andrea answered her with a blissful smile on her face.
“Super, we’ll get going now so you two can continue on with your lively night, bye guys,” Cait waved, walking out the door with Justin close on her heels.
“So, what should we do now that we finally have this house to ourselves, kind of?” Chris asked Andi, wiggling his eyebrows in her direction.
“I don’t know, sweetie, what should we do?”
“I got a little idea in my head...” He told her, picking her up and carrying her down her hallway to the bedroom as she laughed.
“And you think we’re going to do all this today?” Whitney asked in disbelief.
“Well, I’m hoping, but if worse comes to worse we can finish it tomorrow, that will be fine.” She answered.
“Alright, in that case I guess we should get going, ha?”
“Yes, we should, which car should we take?” Cait asked.
“How about your? It’s the biggest one out there.” Althea suggested.
“Works, let’s get a move on.” She said as they all filed out of Andrea and Chris’s home.
Meanwhile all of the guys were sitting around Justin house going over what they had to do for the day.
“We have tux fittings, we have to pick up the rings, and whoever said they were has to get their hair cut.” Chris told them.
“Sounds like fun, what time do we have to do the whole tux thing?” JC asked.
“The guy told me anytime from nine to twelve.”
“Alright, what do you say we just get going now, it’s just about 10:30?”
“Alright, everyone, file out.” Chris said, yelling out a thanks to his Andrea’s mom for watching Sean for they day, as they all exited the house.
“Thank you, now we have to make sure your boobs don’t fall out fall out of it, so let’s get this show on the road, Whit you’re first.” Andrea informed her.
Whitney went into to put the dress on and then came out so the woman could pin it and cut it where necessary.
“Whit, you look awesome,” Cait told her as they took in the final product.
“Thank you, who would like to be next?” She asked as nobody raised their hand. “Alright, my choice, Al, you’re up.”
“Thanks, appreciate that one.” Althea told her sarcastically.
“Really, it was no trouble at all,” She said, disappearing into the dressing room one more time.
Soon, all the bridesmaids had been fitted for their dresses and they were off to the shoe store to check on the shoes and then they decided to stop for lunch.
“So, how is everybody enjoying their day?” Andrea asked with a slight laugh.
“You know, I don’t think I have had this much fun since I got stitches in my mouth.” Cait told her as everyone else laughed.
“Good, glad to know you’re so happy, you wait until Thursday, we got plenty more to do then.” She warned her.
“Whatever, can’t we just get through today first?”
“We can try, but I think we should get through lunch before we start with the rest of the day.”
“Works for me, I’m starving.” Cait said as everyone agreed.
“Would you shut your mouth, the sooner your lips stop flapping the sooner this will all be done, alright?” Lance scolded him.
“Whatever,” Just said, dismissing his comment.
Soon, everyone was fitted and ready to leave the tux shop to go do something else, anything else.
“Alright, we have to go pick up the rings now, I need to check the inscription to make sure it right, too, don’t let me forget.” Chris told everyone from the driver’s seat of his car.
“Alright, you got it, dude.” JC told him from the back.
“Here you are sir,” The man behind the counter of the jewelry store said as he handed Chris the ring boxes.
“Chris took out Andrea’s ring to check the inscription, ’From now until forever’ He read, smiling brightly.
“Perfect, thank you very much,” Chris told him as he handed him the last payment on the two pieces of jewelry.
“Thank you sir, have a good day,” They all heard as they exited the jewelry shop.
“So that’s it for today right?” Justin asked.
“yes, that’s all your free to go see Cait, oh wait no you’re not.” Chris teased.
“Shut up, ass, can we just go home now?” Just asked him.
“Yeah, sure.” Chris told him apprehensively. He was worried about his friend. He hadn’t been himself all day. Chris had been counting on him for the comic relief in the group, but today, it seemed like he didn’t even want to be with them. He wasn’t sure what was wrong, but he sure was curious.
“Yeah, sure, what about?” He questioned back, only half paying attention to his response.
“You, what’s up with you today, man? You seemed kind of, well, upset?”
“Nothing, I’m fine, I didn’t know I was being a jerk, sorry, I’ll try to be more personable next time alright?”
“Fine, Justin, I’m going to go relieve Andi’s mom of her duties, I’ll talk to you later, bye.” Chris left without another word form Justin.
“Lord, I hate this more than anything.” Justin said to himself as he plopped down onto his couch.
Justin had been feeling something inside all day. Something that was tugging at his heartstrings, and it wasn’t a good feeling at all. Doing all these weddings things with Chris made him happy for his friend, yet sad for himself at the same time. He had wanted to marry Cait soon after they got engaged and it hadn’t happened. He had learn to come to terms with that and knew it was going to be the right decision in the end, but having all these wedding plans swirling in his head was starting to make Justin dizzy, he wasn’t sure how he could get rid of these feelings either. He was hoping that after Saturday, and the wedding, everything would go back to normal. He can Cait could once again be normal, just share the love they both had for each other without everything around them.
“Hey babe, how are you?” He asked her.
“Well, to be honest, I have been better.” She admitted to him.
Justin got knots in his stomach, this could be it. “What’s the matter?”
“This whole wedding thing, I don’t know why but I can’t stand it.” She told him.
“I know the feeling,” He said as he once again relaxed into he couch as she came over to sit next to him, resting her head on his chest.
“You do?” She asked somewhat surprised, she thought she was just being stupid about the whole thing.
“Yeah I do, I have been feeling kind of, I don’t know how to describe it really. It’s just this weird feeling inside of me.”
“Exactly, I have been doing a lot of thinking about it, and I sat with Whitney talking about it for almost two hours.” Cait started, getting up and staring Justin right in the eyes. “I decided I don’t want to make you wait to get married, I want to do as soon as you want to, I want to be the one and only Mrs. Justin Timberlake.”
“No you don’t, I know this isn’t what you want, Cait, come on.”
“No, Justin, I thought about this all day and all night, it is what I want, I mean I’m not saying tomorrow, but sooner than we had originally thought, alright? I know this is what I want, I thought about it all, please just respect my decision.”
“You know I will, I think you just made everything better.” He told her smiling lovingly down at her before placing sweet kisses on her lips.
Whenever she was around it seemed like everything was just perfect...
“Yeah, tomorrow’s the day” He replied, smiling happily.
“I can’t wait to see you standing at the end of that altar, I love you sweetie, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Ok, bye, I love you,” Chris said, walking off with JC where he would be spending the night.
“Finally, the day has arrived,” Andrea said as she and the rest of the girls sat in the hairdresser’s.
“I know, it seems like it took forever doesn’t it?” Cait asked her.
“It definitely does, but it’s finally here and I can’t wait for everything to start, I’m so excited.”
“I know you’ll be an amazing bride,” Whit told her.
“Well, thank you, and I’ll have all of you up there so there is something pretty to look at,” Andi told them as everybody laughed.
“Alright, hair’s and make-up are done, now we just have to go back to my house, get the dress, go to the church and get dressed.” She told them.
“Alright, then we better get a move on.” Whit said, looking at her watch as everyone grabbed their coats and left after saying their thank you’s.
“Alright, let me put something on my feet then we can leave alright?” He asked.
“Yeah, I’ll go make sure we got everything then I’ll meet you out in car alright?”
“Yeah, see you there, bye Jace.”
“Bye.” With that once simple words the start of a day neither Chris nor Andrea would ever forget began.
Soon after they left JC and Chris arrived at the church, they went straight in to the dressing rooms where the found the rest of the guys and they all began to get dressed. Soon after they all stood around, anxiously waiting for their cue to take their spots.
“You read to take the walk?” Andrea’s dad asked her.
“I am , you think you make it all the way down that altar old man??” She teased him.
“I’ll try not to collapse on you alright” He said back.
“Now guys, we need you up there, go go go.” The wedding planner busted in telling them and then heading straight over to the girls.
“Alright, you have one minutes until show time you ready?”
“Yeah, let’s get this going.” Andrea said, letting out a deep breath before taking her spot behind the door linking arms with her father as Whitney, Cait, Althea, and Lauren lined up in front of her, linking arms with each of the guys. Cait smiled over at Justin as they began their walk down the aisle, knowing that one day soon, she too would be walking down it in a beautiful white dress.
Soon, Andrea heard the music and the doors opened as everyone stood, gasping at the beautiful site before them.
Chris smiled as tears began swelling in his eyes at the site if his lovely bride walking down the aisle, she amazed him still with her beauty and grace.
“Do you, Christopher Kirkpatrick, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward?” Chris faintly heard the priest say before he answered.
“I do.” He smiled at Andi lovingly before it was her turn.
“And do you, Andrea Curtis, take this man, to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold form this day forward?”
“I do.” She answered, smiling back at Chris.
“You mayt kiss your bride.” The priest said as Chris and Andrea smiled before kissing. “I love you.” Chris whispered to her.
“I love oyu too.” She whispered back.
“I now give to you for the first time, Mr. And Mrs. Christopher Kirkpatrick.” The priest said as everyone began to clap and Chris and Andrea walked down the aisle, smiling brightly with excitement at the thought of finally being husband and wife.
