Madelyn woke up at Nate and Ashley's. They had insisted that they stick to tradition and not see each other before the wedding. Madelyn had just rolled her eyes. It was weird to sleep without Marshall next to her and in this guest room again. She hadn't been in it since she had left Corey so it was different. She was going to become Madelyn Mathers today.

"Good morning gorgeous," Ashley said, coming into the room.

"Morning Ash," Madelyn chuckled.

"We got a busy morning ahead of us."

She nodded. She got up and showered. The girls ate and headed out to get ready for the wedding. She was ready. It was going to be an intimate ceremony and she was ready for it. Kim dropped the girls off at the house. Madelyn had gone with simple. Denaun walked into the room about an hour prior to the service. She glanced over at him. His jaw dropped.

"You are gorgeous. Marshall is going to die," he said.

"Thank you," she smiled softly.

"Mads, I can tell you right now that this is the first time in a long time that I have seen that boy so happy. You did that. He has been unbearable for some years but he's smiling and laughing more in the studio and joking with us guys again. It's been amazing. Thank you for that."

"I didn't do anything."

"You have brought him back to all of us after a very trying time in his life."

She stared at herself in the mirror. He had saved her just as much as she had apparently saved him. No one knew about her past but Ashley, Nate, and Marshall. She didn't talk about it. She wanted to move on and make her life better. Ashley came into the room. She had something in her hand from Marshall. Nate had given it to her. Madelyn took it in her hand and gasped when she saw it. Marshall had sent her a simple necklace for her to wear for the day. He had also sent a letter with it.

Mads,

Baby, I am so glad that you said yes and I can't wait for you to be Mrs. Mathers today. You are everything and I know everyone else appreciates it all as well. You saved me from a brutal time and showed me that there is life after getting sober. I will see your beautiful face at the end of the aisle today.

Marshall

Madelyn tried to keep the tears in as Ashley helped her put the necklace on. Hailie and Alaina walked in with Whitney and Audri.
