A/N: Enjoy! Wings of Love (song) IGNORE THIS....It's a note for me.

.~~*~~.

Siobhan's P.O.V

"Where is my invitation?!" I said. I frantically looked around my room for the white envelope but failed to find it.

"Maybe you accidentally threw it away." Craig suggested. I shook my head.

"No. I didn't do that." I replied back. I continued throwing items around the place but still didn't see the invitation.

I dialed Tamika's number on my phone.

"Siobhan! Where are you?!" Tamika shouted over the phone.

"I'm at home! I think I've misplaced the invitation!" I said.

"I'll see if I can allow the guards to let you in," Tamika said. I sighed in relief. Stupid invitation. "But you have to arrive early. We need you to help us."

"Okay, I'm on my way now," I said. I removed the phone from my ears and placed it on my bed. "Craig!"

"Yes?" He yelled back.

"Hurry up! We need to get to the church early!" I said. Craig jogged into the room in a sharp tuxedo. He had a diamond earring in his ear and his mohawk had blond tips.

"I'm ready," Craig said and took my hand. "Let's go."

.~~*~~.

"This dress is way too tight! How could I fit into this a month ago?!" Tamika yelled. Tamika has been going crazy for the past hour.

"It's called eating and gaining weight." Akira said.

We were inside a room getting ready. Since I was already in my white dress, I watched as the girls put on their clothes and makeup. I would assist them if they needed help.

Akira finally got the zipper up and Tamika turned around and faced me. She looked beautiful! Her makeup fit her complexion very well and her dress showed off everything!

"Well, how do I look," Tamika asked. Because I was so speechless, I didn't reply. "I look terrible, I kno-"

"No. No, you look beautiful." I said to her. I couldn't help to get jealous. I' a twenty year old girl who still hasn't gotten married. My parent sure wouldn't have approved my relationship status right now.

Speaking of parents, they were already in the church waiting for the service to begin.

The door opened and Trey's head poked out of the door.

"We're about to begin in a few minutes," Trey said. Once he laid eyes on Akira, he looked like he was in a daze. "Akira, you look amazing!"

Akira blushed and smiled. "Thanks, Trey. I'm so flattered."

Trey smiled back and left the room. Tamika took a deep breath and then turned to Akira. "I'm scared."

"Scared of what?" Akira asked. Tamika took a seat on a chair next to the vanity table. She looked at herself in the mirror.

"I'm scared that something might go wrong. I'm afraid that someone might try and mess something up," Tamika worried. "What if Ray Ray isn't ready for this life-long commitment?"

"Don't worry, Tamika! If Ray Ray isn't ready then that just means this isn't your time." Akira said.

"I agree with Akira. You'll find other guys, Tamika," I added. "We'll find out at the alter."

Tamika weakly beamed at both of us then engulfed us in a big bear hug. "I love you guys!" Tamika said, weeping.

"I love you too! Stop crying. Your going to smear your makeup." Akira said. Tamika wiped her eyes with her thumb.

"Okay. I'm ready." Tamika said. One of the girls named Jada held the hem of Tamika's dress.

Jada is Tamika's cousin. Jada has a twin named Keme. The two are nineteen years old.

When we got in front of the door that led us into the sanctuary, the bridesmaids and their partners slowly entered and got on the alter.

Craig was my partner so together, we both went on stage.

On the alter, I looked at the crowd. There, I saw my parents, Chelsey, Kiearra and classmates from school sitting down. I also recognized a few of Tamika's cousins. There were other unfamiliar faces but it didn't matter as long as they had invitations.

The congregation soon stood up when Tamika made her way down the aisle. The piano man was playing the typical wedding song.

Tamika finally got to the alter and there stood Ray Ray. He looked nervously and continued touching the collar of his tuxedo.

"Brothers and sisters, we are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage of Tamika Anderson and Raquan Smith," The pastor said. He continued babbling about what marriage is and about Tamika and Ray Ray.

Forty minutes later, we were at the last part of the wedding.

"Raquan Smith, do you take Tamika Anderson to be your wife through sickness and through health?"

" I do."

"Tamika Anderson, do you take Raquan Smith to be your husband through sickness and through health?"

Tamika hesitated to answer. She looked at the entire congregation in confusion. She also glanced at me.

"I-I c-can't..." Tamika said. She rushed off the alter and to out the sanctuary. Ray Ray chased after her.

Everybody began murmuring things to each other. I was surprised. Tamika has been waiting for this day. Why did she run away?

"I'm sorry, brethren and sisters. We are having a little difficulties. Hang in for a moment. By God's grace, they will be back." The pastor exclaimed.

Thirty minutes later, Ray Ray and Tamika still weren't back.

"What's going on?!" Akira asked. Tamika should make up her damn mind! Nobody has time to waste!

The door for the church opened and in came Tamika and Ray Ray.

"Finally." Akira whispered and went back to her spot.

The two progressed back to the alter and came back on stage. The pastor stared back at the couple and began speaking.

"Tamika Anderson, do you take Raquan Smith as your husband through sickness and through health?"

"Yes...yes I do." Tamika said.

"Then you may kiss the bride." The pastor said. Ray Ray and Tamika engaged in a short kiss and everyone cheered for them.

The now married couple started down the aisle and downstairs to change. Everybody else will go to a hall down the street for the reception.

"Shivy!" A voice called out. I distinguished the voice and hurried away. What the fuck is he doing here?!

.~~*~~.

Chelsey's P.O.V

Nobody was at the reception hall so I quickly slipped into the kitchen.

I bought out a bottle and smeared something on the cake. I also sprinkled a bit of...

.~~*~~.

A/N: Ooohhhhh....What did Chelsey do? The wedding part was cute!!!
