My Best Friend’s Wedding
Disclaimer:OK, I admit it, I don’t own any of Kevin Williamson’s characters. This is (of course), a Dawson and Joey story because I can’t stand to write anything else
Rating: Well where I live in Australia, Dawson’s is rated M, which I think is absolutely not true. I’m not sure what it’s rated in the USA but this is pretty tame so if you can watch the show than you can definitely read this
Author's note: At this time, Dawson's mom has had her baby, she had a girl and they called it Emily.
[Cut to opening scenes of Capeside]
[Cut to Joey’s room, Joey slowly wakes up finding Jen and Andie shaking her to wake up]
Jen: C’mon Joey… Joey…JOEY!
Joey: (groggily) What, what.
A: Come on Joey, you have to get up, we have a very big day ahead of us
J: What day?
Jen: Oh God Joey! Don’t tell me that you don’t know what day this is
J: Huh?
A: It’s exactly 3 days before you get married to the guy of your dreams (Joey suddenly sits up)
J: DAWSON !! (She has an ear to ear grin on her face)
Jen: Exactly. Now, in order for you to get married to this wonderful guy, we need to make preparations, of which we will be achieving on this fine day (She opens the curtains)
J: So we’ve already purchased the dresses, the cake, the rings and everything else for the ceremony, all we need to do now is plan the reception and the hen’s night.
A: Ha, our main event (They exchange devilish grins) [Cut to Dawson’s house] (Dawson is banging on the guest room door, Pacey is staying there.)
D: PACEY! PACEY! (Pacey opens the door, he is shirtless and is just wearing boxers, and his hair is all messed up.)
P: What Hombre, is the house on fire or something?
D: No, no I’m sorry to wake you but we have a big day ahead of us. We have to prepare for the reception.
P: Oh, yeah, I forgot. (He looks at the clock)
P: (whining) Dawson, man, it’s only 7:10
D: I know, get downstairs to breakfast, we need to organize the Buck’s night.
P: (quickly and excitedly) On second thoughts…I’ll be right down
(Dawson nods as he closes the door)
Pacey does that evil villain laugh)
[Cue opening credits] [
Cut to everyone having breakfast at Dawson’s house]
G: Dawson, Joey, you are never going to believe who’s coming to the wedding, hen’s night and who is here right now. My I present to you, your Aunt Gwen!
J: (Jumps up) Aunt Gwen! (Her and Dawson run towards Aunt Gwen and hug her; she kisses both of their heads)
AG: Oh, I’ve been looking forward to this day for ages. You know, I knew it would happen one day
G: I think we all knew that
AG: However, I got a little worried when I heard that Pacey and Joey were together.
P: (Waving his hand) Oh yeah, that, we broke that off. I knew that she would go back to him at some stage so I let her go.
J: Smartest decision he ever made
D: Tell me about it (Dawson and Joey kiss)
AG: Aww, It just brings tears to your eyes to see how in love they are
G: (getting teary) Oh, I know. It’s just so beautiful. I’ve been looking forward to this moment all of their lives.
AG: Awwww, come here sis (They have a big hug)
D: (to Joey) jeez, how soppy is this?
J: Now Dawson, this is a very special day for both sides of the family, I don’t blame your mum for getting teary. I mean, if my mum was here today, then she’d probably be bawling her eyes out too. Anyway, just look around, some people of our age group already are, before the wedding day
(Camera shows a view of Andie crying and Pacey hugging her)
P: It’s OK, McPhee, It’s OK
A: I just can’t believe that they’re finally getting married. I mean it’s just so beautiful. (
Pan right back to Dawson and Joey)
D: This is just sad
J: Tell me about it
D: Maybe we should just leave the room and let them release their emotions. Shall we?
(He holds out his arm to her)
J: (Taking it) We shall
(They walk up to Dawson’s room)
(Cut to Dawson and Joey sitting at Dawson’s coffee table with Mitch and Gale)
G: OK, so we need to do some more organizing of the reception
J: Oh, I know what song I want to be played for our 1st dance as a married couple
D: Oh that’s right, I forgot
G: Tell us Joey
J: OK. Well, I was thinking of that song that they played at our graduation.
I think that it was called ‘ I Will Be There For You,’ it’s sung by Jessica Andrews
G: That sounds great Joey, it’s a beautiful and very meaningful song
M: There’s one problem still, who are we going to get to play the songs?
J: (She winks at Dawson and whispers in his ear) Yeah, Mr. Big-Hot-Shot-Director.
D: (blushing) Well, I do know Jessica Andrew’s manager, so I could ask if she could sing
M: Great! However, what song are we having played while you walk down the isle in the actual ceremony?
D: We were thinking…That Shania Twain song…Jeez, what’s it called?…Oh yeah!…’From This Moment’
J: Yeah…um, yeah…that’s it!
(Bessie comes in, she puts Alexander down)
B: Hey guys! Doing last minute plans, huh? Can I help too?
J: Sure Bess!
(Alexander runs over to Dawson)
A: Uncle Dawson! Uncle Dawson!
D: Hiya Alexander! How ya doin’?
A: Good!
D: So, have you killed anymore of those big bad space monsters lately?
A: I sure have! Last night, there was a MASSIVE one under my bed!
D: Oh no! (He looks at Joey and she rolls her eyes, he smiles)
A: But I wasn’t scared!
D: No, of course not!
(Joey shakes her head)
A: I got my big lightsaber and shoved its chest! Green ooze went everywhere!
J: (With a warning tone) Alexander Wells…
D: COOL! J: (Whispering in Dawson
’s ear) Actually, he was terrified, he wet his bed and spent the rest of the night in his parents’ bed. (Dawson smiles)
GL: Hey Alex, Emily’s upstairs, do you want to go up and see her?
(They’re interrupted by a shout from upstairs) E: Jo-Jo!
J: I’ll be right up, Emily!
GL: Well, she’s finally up
J: I’ll change her if you want
GL: Thanks Joey
[Cut to Joey coming into Emily’s nursery, Emily is standing up in her cot and holding on to the side]
J: Hey, sleepyhead
E: Jo-Jo!
J: Yeah, Jo-Jo’s here. OK Emily, we’re gonna get you changed into some fresh clothes so you can go see our visitors, OK?
E: Dai?
J: Yes, Dawson’s gonna be there too
(She picks Emily up and puts heron the change table)
J: There we go
(She gives her a tiny stuffed cat)
J: There’s Kitty to keep you company
(Emily starts making all funny baby noises as Joey changes her. Joey puts on a new diaper and she picks her up again)
J: OK, Emily
(She takes her over to a cupboard and opens it. It has all lacy and frilly baby dresses in it.)
E: Pretty (Pointing to a white one with a gold trim) J: OK then sweetie, the white one it is (Joey starts to put the dress on Emily. Viewer can see Dawson standing behind Joey, watching as she puts the dress over Emily’s head.)
D: (thought) Gosh, she’s good with children.
