MY HEART WILL GO ON
Chapter Twelve
It was the day that Jack and Rose were going
to get married. They got their appropriate wedding outfits, the wedding rings,
and Rose was able to get to know everyone. It was around eight o' clock when
Rose got out of bed. Rose spent the night at Hannah's, and Rachel came over.
Rose decided to have them both in the wedding. Rose entered the kitchen looking
very tired, and she sat down on a kitchen chair, leaning her arm on the table
with her eyes half-opened.
"Rose, are you all right?" Hannah
asked, handing her some oatmeal.
"Oh, I'm just so tired. I'm so excited
about the wedding that I didn't get a wink of sleep," Rose said, yawning.
"Oh, now that's what I call true
love," Rachel said, sitting down next to Rose.
"Well, maybe my grandmother's famous
oatmeal, coffee, and toast will wake you up," Hannah said, and placed some
coffee and toast beside the oatmeal where Rose was sitting.
"Thanks," Rose said, chuckling, and
took a sip of coffee, and then picked up the spoon to start eating. Rose
noticed that Rachel was looking at the clock.
"What time is it, Rachel?" Rose
asked.
"You have plenty of time, about two
hours left," Rachel replied.
Rose sighed, and ate the rest of her
breakfast. It was not long until Rose wanted to go to the church to get a head
start. They got all their things, and started to walk to the church, which
wasn't that far away. Hannah and Rachel helped Rose put on her dress, put her
makeup on, and do her hair.
"Does Kevin like anyone?" Hannah
asked, helping Rose with her hair.
"Why?" Rose asked.
"I just wondered," Hannah replied.
"Well, I don't think he does, but don't
take my word for it," Rose said, putting her earrings on.
"How about Teddy?" Rachel asked.
"What has gotten into you two? Are you
falling head over heels over Teddy and Kevin?" Rose asked.
"Maybe," Rachel and Hannah said in
unison.
Rose laughed, and said, "Well, just
remember to act like yourselves and you will do fine."

Jack, Teddy, and Kevin were getting their
tuxedos on.
"Do you think that Hannah likes
anyone?" Kevin asked, fixing his tie in the mirror.
"Why?" Jack asked, putting on his
cufflinks.
"I just wondered," Kevin replied.
"Well, I'm pretty sure that she likes
Maker's son. She is always babbling to Rose about him," Jack said.
Jack and Teddy could see his heart sink.
"Well, what about Rachel?" Teddy
asked.
"I think that she likes the same boy
also," Jack replied.
Teddy's heart sank also.
"Oh, come now, don't take my word for
it. You need to ask Rose about it. Speaking of Rose, we need to go to the
church," Jack said, looking at his pocket watch.
They started walking to the church, and met
Jeanette and Harry, the old couple who owned the local general store.
"Jack, good luck," Henry said, and
shook his hand.
"Thank you, Mr. Forliffa," Jack
said.
Henry nodded his head, and they continued up
the church stairs.
*****
Rose heard a knock on the door, and Rachel
answered it.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, but I just
want to say good luck to Rosie," Jeanette said, and went over to hug Rose.
"Oh, thank you, Mrs. Forliffa,"
Rose said, hugging her.
The priest came in, and said, "It is
time."
Rose smiled at Hannah and Rachel. "Well,
here we go," Rose said, and hugged Rachel and Hannah.
As Rose got in her place in front of the
door, Donald came in, and hugged her, and whispered, "Good luck."
Rose smiled, and whispered back,
"Thanks, Donald."
Rose heard the music play, and she started to
walk down the aisle, with Hannah and Rachel in lavender dresses. Jack smiled as
his beautiful bride came closer to him. There were only a few people for their
wedding, but that didn't bother Jack and Rose one bit. The only thing that
mattered to them was that they were getting married. Rose approached the altar,
and Jack interlocked arms with Rose, to take her up where the priest was.
After the ceremony, Jack and Rose said their
good-byes to their friends to go on their honeymoon.
*****
"You will love this beach. It is quiet,
peaceful, and our hotel has a great view of the beach as well," Jack said,
when they were on the train.
"That sounds wonderful," Rose said,
leaning against Jack's arm, and yawning.
"Rose, are you all right?" Jack
asked, looking down at Rose.
"Oh, Jack, I was so excited about the
wedding, my eyes couldn't shut," Rose said, and yawned.
Jack laughed, and said, "I had the same
problem last night." He yawned.
Rose laughed, and Jack laughed, too, and
asked, "How about we take a nap until we get there?"
Rose nodded her head, and said, "That
sounds all right."
And Rose fell asleep against Jack.
