"The Diary of Dana Stowe" By: Dr.StoweWannabe27

Chapter Twelve- I Hear Wedding Bells

The time few by; It was September 20th before they knew it. Tonight was the rehearsal dinner and Dana was going crazy with all the preparations. Lu and Lana had taken the day off and were trying to give Dana a break.

"Dana, go away! We are giving you a break. Sleep, go to the movies, play with Annie and Louise, do something but hang over us!" Lu yelled at Dana. Dana tried to protest but got cut-off by Lana who covered Dana's mouth before she could say another word. "Fine I'll go watch a movie and get something to eat. Do you want any thing?" She said stubbornly wanting so badly to continue working on the seating arrangements. She was hoping to plan the entire wedding, but she knew her friends meant well. They wanted her to rest before the big day. "NO! Just go and have fun. We'll order a pizza. So Annie and Louise could eat." "Okay then, I'll be back later. Bye Annie! Bye Louise! Be good for Lu and Lana!" She walked out the door and drove off.

She got back home two hours before the time of the dinner. She walked and found Nick sitting on the couch. "Nick! What are you doing? Go get ready or we'll be late!" "What time is it?" "It's four. Where are Annie, Lu, Louise, and Lana?" She said looking around the house. "Lana went to get ready. Annie is well 'our' bathroom taking a shower. And Lu is giving Louise a bath." Nick said getting up off the couch and going down the hallway.

Dana walked into the girls' bathroom. Lu turned around with a bottle of shampoo in her hand. Louise was sitting in her bubble bath, playing with a flying bubble. "Maw ma" yelled Louise laughing, making Dana smile. "Hey Dana. Louise and Annie went into the pool with Lana so I am giving Louise a bath." "That's okay, Lu. But shouldn't you go home to Marc and start getting ready? The diner is in two hours." "Nah. I brought my dress along and I called Marc and told him to start getting ready that I'd go pick him up in an hour." "Okay, I'm going to get ready then. If you need me I'll be in the shower." Dana closed the door and Lu continued to give Louise her bath.

She went to her closet and pulled out a beautiful dress that she had picked out for tonight. It was dark blue, complementing her reddish-orange hair, and spaghetti strap with a mid-calf length. With the same color high-heeled shoes and a good hairstyle she'd look perfect. Now, all she needed was to take a shower.

Annie had finished a while ago and went to dry her hair in her room with the help of Lu. Dana turned on the water to let it heat up while she undressed. She took a fifteen-minute shower and dried her hair. With an hour left, she put on her dress and shoes. And went to check up on Lu and the girls. Nick had gone to his house and would be meeting them at the dinner. Annie and Louise were sitting on the couch, all dressed for the dinner. Being read a book by Lu, who was also ready to go. How'd they get ready so fast? Dana thought to herself. "Well, well, everyone in this living room is looking so pretty." Dana said walking up to the counter to get her purse. "You too mommy." Annie said taking her attention away from Lu reading. "Yeah Dana, you look awesome." Lu agreed. Dana posed just playing around, making everyone in the room giggle. "Well, come on, we better get going before we're late." Dana said grabbing her keys. She picked up Louise and Lu and Annie followed her to the car.

The car drive only took half an hour after picking up Marc. Nick noticed they had arrived and went to help them out of the car. He opened the door for Dana and Lu. "Thanks Nick. Has everyone arrived?" "Only you five were left." Nick picks up Annie playfully and started tickling her. "Stop! He He! Stop, you're going to wrinkle my dress!" Nick puts her down and heads back over to Dana who was carrying Louise. He held out his arm and Dana entwined hers with his. Lu and Annie walked ahead of them opening the doors to a loud cheering as they entered. Before Dana walked in she put down Louise and kissed Nick. "Ready?" "Yep." Dana assured Nick. "And here are the two special people of the night! Everyone give a big round of applause to Dana and Nick!" They heard the DJ say over the clapping. "Wow, I can't imagine the party after." Dana smiled at Nick.

The night was so tiring. Dana had lost track of time, before she looked at her watch. "Holy Crap! Its 2:30!" She said as she realized she had been talking with Nick since ten. She pulled Nick off his seat and over to the DJ. "Excuse me, can you please announce to everyone that the dinner is ending now, that the Wedding is scheduled to take place in eight and a half hours and I don't want all off my friends to be asleep during one of the most important days of my life." She said to the DJ handing him an extra five bucks. The DJ stopped the music and everyone got the hint that it was over. They got their belongings and yawning said their good-byes to each other. Dana went over to the table and found Annie and Louise sleeping peacefully. Marc and Lu, looking awfully tired, walking over to them from their table where they were having many exciting conversations. "Come on, we've got to get some rest." Dana said as she picked up Louise. Nick helped by carrying Annie to the car and putting her in the back seat, still asleep. Dana was about to get into the car when Nick grabbed her arm and pulled her out. He locked his lips with hers and pulled her body close. Dana pulled away noticing that Marc was eyeing them. "What was that for?" "Our last kiss as fiancées." Dana smiled and hugged him. He then offered to take home Lu and Marc home and would see her at the wedding. She drove home with a smile that could stretch ocean to ocean.

She woke Annie and Louise and took both hands in hers, leading them up the drive way. She changed Louise into her pajamas and put her to bed. Annie had gone straight to sleep on the couch. Dana sat on the couch next to her and stroked Annie's face. Annie was tired, she dancing at the dinner until 11:00 when she fell asleep. Dana got a blanket and covered the young girl's body. She kissed her fore head and headed for her room. Dana changed into her pajamas and set out the sweats she planned to wear till she reached the church. She slipped into bed and pulled her diary out of the drawer.

September 21st, 3:15 am

Dear Diary,

The rehearsal dinner went well. Everyone had a fun time. Annie danced making everyone laugh. Little Louise just slept after she drank her milk. Nick was so handsome in his suit. I can't wait for 11:00 to roll around. I'm getting married in the morning!

I'll write later!!!!!!!!

Yours truly, Dr. Dana Stowe- (Soon-to-be) Biancavilla!

She put her diary back in its place and snuggled back into bed. She dreamed that she was in ER with Nick. They were working on the same patient. With head trauma and internal bleeding, the patient sat up and turned to Dana. He murmured some words and pointed at Nick. Then he bit his hand off and went running into the hall. It made Dana get shivers down her back and wake up to find Lu jumping on Dana's bed.

"Finally! You woke up! I've left Marc with Nick and Peter so they can get ready together. Well don't just stare get up!" Lu got off the bed and headed into the hall. Dana had to blink a couple of times to adjust her eyes to the bright light coming from the window. She slowly got out of bed. What a weird dream. What could it have meant? She thought starting to scratch her head. She brushed her teeth and hair, and put on the sweats she had set out. She looked at the alarm clock; it read 7:12 am. Yawning she went out to the living room finding Lana cooking breakfast, Lu setting the table, and Nicole with Annie and Louise on the couch. She always wondered how they got into her house without her noticing, but never really questioned it.

"Good morning, everyone!" Dana's sister walked into the house. "Aunt Natalie!" Annie ran to greet her aunt. No one noticed Dana till she got out of the hallway. "Dana! It's so nice to see you!" Natalie hugged her. "Good Morning everyone!" Dana said to all the others, walking over to the kitchen counter. "Maw ma!" Louise walked over to Dana and tugged on her pants. Dana turned and saw her precious daughter. "Hello sweetie." Dana picked her up and kissed her nose, causing Louise to giggle. She turned to Lana and asked, "Lana," "Yeah baby?" "How do all of you get into my house without me noticing?" "That's our little secret, baby girl. Now, sit, eat. You've got a long day ahead of you." Lana put the bacon and eggs down on the table, as everyone rushed for breakfast. They all ate pretty quick and started to get ready. Lu put on her dress the quickest and went to help Dana with hers. "So Dr. Stowe, you ready to take on this new job as wife and mother combined?" Lu asked her with no one in the room but them. "I sure am, Lu. I've really never been this happy in my entire life. With my girls and Nick I think...no...I know I've made a perfect decision." Lu smiled. "I'm happy for you Dana. I really am." Lu finished Dana's make up and went to help the others.

Dana now had some alone time. She looked at herself in the mirror. At her beautiful gown, at her hair with all of the curls, at how lucky she was. She nodded in approval and went out into the hall to show everyone her dress. "Wow mommy! You look so beautiful." Annie yelled noticing Dana come out of the hall way. All her bride maids turned, "Oh my God! I think I'm going to cry." Natalie said pick up a tissue. The door then sung open with an old wrinkling women standing in the door way. "Me too." She said looking upon her daughter in her wedding dress. "Mom? I thought you weren't going to make it. Where's dad?" Dana's mom, Evelyn, let the tear fall out of her eye, and then she walked over to Dana. "You think I'd miss my little girl's wedding. What kind of mother do you think I am? Your father is already at the church waiting for us to arrive." She let out a smile and put her hand on the side of Dana's face. "You're so beautiful, I love you, sweetie." She hugged Dana. All Lu and Lana could do was 'Aw' in their head. Annie just watched trying to hold Louise still while Nicole changed her diaper.

Just then Nick walked in. "Hello, ladies." "Ah! Get out off here!" all the brides maids yelled in unison, while trying to conceal Dana. "Okay, okay, Gees." Nick got the hint and went toward the kitchen. "Nick! Don't you know its bad luck to see the bride before the wedding?" Lu scolded him hiding the last piece of Dana's dress behind hers. "Fine, Bye Dana, ladies." He walked out the door and to his car. Nicole made sure he had really gotten in his car before all the women uncovered Dana, who was in between all of them. "Did he see me?" Dana asked straightening her dress out again. "Nah, girl, behind all our big, poofy dresses your invisible." Lana answered immediately. Annie heard a honking outside and looked through the window. Louise was watching her older sister and tried to imitate her.

"Maw ma, what vroom-vroom!" Louise said to the crowd fixing their make up. "She means your white limo is here, Mommy." "Then I guess its time to get hitched." She put a smirk on her face and kissed her little flower girls and bride's maids' good bye. Lu would be riding in the limo with her for any help she needed with her dress. Annie and Louise would ride in Nicole's car with Lana. And Natalie and Evelyn in their car.

The limo ride took fifteen minutes to get to the church. It wasn't going to be too big of a ceremony. Only Nick's family and friends, and Dana's family and friends; this ended up being 75 people. Dana and Lu got out of the limo and went up the steps. They peeked into the church to make sure they weren't late and stepped back outside. "Did you see Nick?" Dana asked with a smile on her face. "Sure did. He's so handsome Dana." They turned around and saw Annie and Louise coming up the stairs holding the hands of Lana and Nicole. Natalie and Evelyn were running a little late due to traffic. But they got there with in ten minutes before the wedding started. Evelyn organized everyone was walking into their order. First Annie and Louise, with their little flower baskets. Next, Marc, holding the rings on a tiny, plush pillow. Following Marc, the bride's maids and their escorts. First was Lana with Bob, second Natalie with Peter, and last Nicole being escorted by Giovanni, Nick's second cousin. Then Lu, holding a tiny bouquet. Followed by Dana walking down with her father, Earl.

Dana's mom gave her a kiss on the cheek, wished her luck, and went to take her seat next to Nick's parents. As the music started, the flower girls started walking, closely followed by Marc. The music changed for the bride's maids, which gave them a hint to start. Lu then walked down the aisle and stood next to the altar. Then the moment Dana had been waiting for. Everyone stood as the doors opened wide, letting everyone see Dana. The wedding march started. Evelyn and other relatives of the family started crying. As Dana walked, she felt tight knots in her stomach forming. She ignored them and kept her eyes focused on Nick.

Nick saw Dana walking down the aisle and felt overwhelmed with happiness. In a short while, this beautiful woman walking toward him would be his for eternity. She's so beautiful, He thought aloud. Dana reached the altar and her father kissed her fore head and told her he loved her, and then went to stand by his wife. Nick extended his hand to Dana as they walked up to the altar together. The priest started the ceremony and finally got to the part where they would read their vows.

"Dana and Nick have both written and chosen to recite their vows to each other. Nick..." The priest handed Nick the microphone and Nick pulled out two index cards from his jacket pocket.

He cleared his throat and held the microphone to his mouth, "I, Dr. Nick Biancavilla, vow to take you, Dr. Dana Lee Stowe as my wife. I promise to love you and serve you for all of my life. To be there when you need a friend, when you are feeling down and need a good listener, I'm here. I promise to care for and love your two daughters, Annie Stowe and Louise Stowe, as if they were my own. I will stay faithful to you forever and always be honest. Never abuse of my rights with you and care for you through thick and thin. But my most important promise to you will be that I promise to give you the best life possible and love you always. I love you, Dana."

Dana thought his vows weren't very thought out and very general, and but she loved every bit of them. Nick handed Dana the microphone to her and shivered at the touch if his hand rubbing hers. She had memorized what she would say since the first time she laid eyes on him. "I, Dr. Dana Lee Stowe, vow to you, Dr. Nick Biancavilla, all of my love and loyalty. I will be there for you through the dark and light days and always make time for you in my busy schedules. I promise to support our new family and care for you when you are sick. I will remain honest to you everyday of our lives and support you in any decisions you may make in our futures. I give you my entire life, with all the bad and good things included. I love you too, Nick."

She handed the microphone back and looked back at Nick. "The rings please." The priest said as the best man pulled a little velvet box out of his pocket. He then handed it to Nick. Nicked opened it and pulled out a gold ring with a crown of diamond's sitting on top of it. He took Dana's left hand in his and slipped the ring on her finger. She saw it and tried to hold in her emotions, but let a tear fall from her eye. She then took the other ring and slipped it onto Nick's finger. They smiled at each other. "I am now glad to present to you for the very first time, Mr. and Mrs. Nick Biancavilla and Dana Lee Stowe-Biancavilla. You may kiss your bride."

Nick and Dana couldn't hold their excitement and let it show in their kiss. It was a deep, passionate kiss, though only lasting a few seconds. They turned to face their family and friends standing and clapping, most crying. Nick surprised Dana by picking her up and walking out of the church followed by everyone in the church. He put her down before reaching the limo and gave her another huge kiss. They waved at everyone and got into the limo.
