Alex, Mack, B.J., Leslie, and Angel were all in the back room of ‘Wild Things’ making sure all the dresses were ready. B.J. and Leslie had already modeled there’s and everything was fine. Mack had to take the shoulders of Angel’s dress up a little bit. Now Alex stood in front of them in her dress, “Wow, you made that Mack?” Angel asked as she looked at Alex.
“Well, I designed it and helped some on making it.”
“It’s gorgeous.” B.J. said smiling
“You think so?” Alex asked looking down
“I just hope Nick doesn’t pass out.” Leslie said with a grin. At this everyone laughed.

It was 2:30 and Nick was already at the chapel with Brian, his best man, and the rest of the guys. “Stop doing that.” Brian said as Nick kept pulling at his shirt.
“It’s uncomfortable!” Nick whined standing in front of the mirror. They were in a room behind the chapel getting ready.
“Well, at least you don’t have to wear a big heavy dress like Alex.”
Nick turned to look at A.J., “How would….no, I don’t even want to know.”
“I think I’ll go check on the ladies, you want to come with me D?” A.J. asked walking towards the door.
“Sure.” Howie said getting out of the chair and following A.J. out. They walked thru the chapel and down the hall to the room the girls were using. A.J. knocked, but there was no answer. He opened the door slightly, “You ladies in there?” Still no answer, he opened the door all the way and found the room empty. He looked at Howie and Howie looked at him.

“Of all days for there to be traffic!!” Alex yelled and threw up her hands. They were working on the highway and traffic was backed up for miles.
“Are we going to be late?” Angel asked from the back seat of the Explorer
“We don’t know.” B.J. said looking out the window, “just be quiet and sit still.”

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY ARE NOT HERE?!” Nick yelled at A.J.
“They haven’t gotten here yet.” Howie said, “Just calm down, they will get here.”
“I AM CALM!” Nick said
“It is very obvious.” Brian said trying to keep his face straight
“Is anyone here yet?” Nick asked starting to pace
“Only a few people.” Kevin answered
“What about my parents?”
“I think they are here.”
“and Mr. and Mrs. Paine?”
“I wouldn’t know, I’ve never met them” Kevin shrugged
Nick walked over and opened the door slightly, “Yes, they are here.” He turned back around and began to pace, “Where are they?”
Just then Jane Carter came in the door, “Oh honey, you look so hansom.”
“Thanks mom, have you seen Alex?”
“Well, no, I was just on my way.”
“She’s not here yet.”
“What?” Jane asked
“They must have been detained somewhere.” Brian said
“I hope they are all right.” Jane said starting to look worried, “The wedding starts in 45 minutes.”
“ I know.” Nick said starting to pace again.
