“Why did you have a stripper?” Gabe questioned and Patsy shrugged her shoulders. “Why are you getting mad? I didn’t plan it and you guys had a stripper too.” Gabe had no comeback for that and Patsy soaked in her victory. Gabe picked Patsy up from her throne instead, bridal style and ignored the sting from the hits she was giving. The girls wooed and cheered as Patsy was taken out of the room in Gabe’s arm, practice for their honeymoon. They were out of the huge hotel room and waiting for the elevator to reach the first floor. “You’re an idiot, you know that right?” Patsy said to her fiancé, still in his arms while they waited. Gabe chuckled under his breath and Patsy saw one of the reasons she was marrying Gabe. His undeniable sexiness. “I know I am, but I’m your idiot.” He replied with a smirk on his face before kissing her. He kissed her with ease and then he laughed. “This honeymoon thing is going to be a breeze.” The elevator doors dinged open and Gabe carefully made his way into it making sure he doesn’t hit Patsy head on the way in. “You might have the honeymoon part down but we have to get through the wedding. You know, the ‘I do’s’ “ Patsy told, holding onto his neck for support. “That’s the easy part,” Gabe exclaimed. “I have to say yes to spending all my life with you, why wouldn’t I say yes?” Patsy then started laughing. “When did you get so cheesy?!”

A flood of navy blue and lavender filled the girls dressing room, the bridesmaids excited for the moment they walk down the aisle and all eyes were on them before they pay attention to Patsy. "I am so nervous." Amanda confessed loudly, fidgeting with her boquet of flowers. Patsy was sitting in front of a wide mirror, reapplying her lipstick. "Don't worry Amanda," Patsy said, her focus on her makeup. "You're just walking down the aisle. You're not the one getting married. Consider yourself lucky."
Patsy smiled at Amanda after her small joke. "True," Amanda agreed. "At least the dresses are beautiful." Patsy smiled again. It was her who picked the dresses and she loved them. Patsy stood up and walked away from the mirror, her white gown trailing behind her. She grabbed the slightly larger bouquet of lavenders from a white dresser and she called Betsy over so she can help her place the veil over her face.
"You look really beautiful, Patsy." Betsy told her for the tenth time that day. Patsy didn't care, she just thanked her sister again and took a deep breath to settle the butterflies in her stomach. "Ok, Ok. Get in line!" Danilsa ordered when the time to start the wedding was approaching. The ten bridesmaid shuffled in line by height order: Amanda in front, Ruth at the end and Patsy, a few feet away from the blue and purple clothed girls, was fixing her silk gown skirt and adjusting the lace straps of her wedding dress.
Danilsa took the job as wedding planner and you could have noticed by the way she ordered the girls to move to back of the hotel and stop just before the glass doors. Patsy looked above her bridesmaids to see the Vegas back garden decorated just for her wedding. People were sitting on Navy blue and lavender sashed chairs, the groomsmen and the groom were under a huge white canopy, away from the suns rays. Gabe was standing there (Still, If you can believe it) waiting patiently for the ceremony to start. Patsy could see Gabe smile when he saw the girls at the glass doors.
The piano started up and and the guests moved around in their seats to see Amanda lead the line of bridesmaids. The line moved quick but not as quick as Patsy would have liked it. Ruth walked down the aisle and the pianist started to play "Here comes the bride" Patsy took a deep breath before walking down the aisle.
She smiled at her family, her closest friends, and friends she hasn't seen since college or high school. She got up to the alter, smiling up at Gabe who looked even more handsome. Patsy picked at the lavender he had in his jacket pocket and he told her she looked beautiful. "Thank you but don't get all emotional on me just because it's our wedding." She joked whispering so only he can hear her. He only smirked as his reply. "Oh, you're the one who's going to get emotional when you hear my vow." Patsy softly scoffed her reply so only her soon-to-be husband car hear.
The pastor started by addressing the guests, then Patsy and Gabe. He talked about love and the sanctity of marriage and all that crap but Patsy didn't care about that. She wanted to get to the vows, the rings and the 'I do's'. Finally the pastor told the bride and the groom to share their vows. Patsy's vows were filled with jokes but from listening to it, it told anyone that she deeply in love with the man that was standing before her. Gabe's vows however were about his crappy life before he met Patsy.
He talked about how he only went to parties to find someplace to sleep since his parents kicked him out and how he was in a dark place. (his drugs addiction) he talked about Patsy being the best thing that happened to his life even though he was in a successful band. "Patsy was the sun to my rainy day. I am so lucky to have her in my life and I have no idea why she's marrying me."
Patsy could see some of the guests and the bridesmaids wiping away their tears and she could feel her own tears about to fall but as much as she loved Gabe, she wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of her getting emotional at her own wedding. She looked up at the sun so her tears can disappear. She smiled at him nonetheless.
The pastor was at the part where he told Patsy and Gabe to repeat after him and say those powerful two words. Patsy repeated the pastor first, placing the ring on Gabe's finger and said 'I Do.' with feeling. Gabe did the same. Gabe lifted the veil and kissed his wife before the pastor uttered the words "You may now kiss the bride."
"Now for the first time anywhere, Mr and Mrs. Gabe and Patsy Saporta." Travis's voice echoed from the speakers as he yelled the greeting from the DJ booth. Patsy and Gabe entered the hotel ballroom which was decorated for their wedding reception. Patsy almost cried out in surprise and excitement when she saw Aventura standing on the stage, preparing to start singing. This was the only time she didn't to be married to Gabe because Romeo just smiled at her.
Patsy had an amazing time at her wedding because well, it was her wedding. Gabe booked Aventura for the wedding because he knows that was her favorite band from their first couple of dates. Patsy almost cried as they played during Gabe and Patsy's first dance. Patsy did most of the wedding traditions such as the throwing of the bouquet. Ruth caught it after most of the girls fought for it. Most of the petals were gone from the Ruth didn't care. Patsy just thought it was funny to see the girls almost kill each for that plant.
The newlyweds cut the large wedding cake together and Gabe managed to smear some frosting on her nose. She laughed it off vowing that she will get him back later. They both posed for pictures with the bridesmaid, groomsmen, family and friends. Everyone congratulated them when the reception was over and Gabe carried her bridal style to the elevator again. "It's not even our honeymoon yet." Patsy told him but didn't want him to put her down. "I know," Gabe said "I just want to do it."
"That was sweet." Patsy told him, hanging on to his neck. "What was sweet?" "Your vows. It was sweet." Gabe smiled at her. "I thought you didn't like it." "I told you I wasn't to yet emotional at my wedding." Gabe laughed at Patsy's reply and kissed be lips gently. "I love you Mrs. Saporta." She smiled at her new name. She is going to love married life.
