Almost fifteen weeks later:

Tonight is our rehearsal dinner with our parents, close family, and wedding party. I am wearing the same red dress I wore the night he proposed, and he is wearing the same suit. 

We figured it would be good luck to wear the same clothes for our rehearsal dinner. Jordan hasn't stopped smiling. I am so nervous because we will have so many eyes on us tomorrow. 

I am so thankful Jordan didn't break my heart and leave me before our wedding. He paid for everything except my wedding dress because I wouldn't allow him to buy it. 

He hasn't stressed about any of the money we have spent. He paid for everything with a smile. I asked him why he wasn't stressing about us blowing money, and he simply replied because it's money well spent. 

He is staying the night at Jon's even tho I told him we live together and we shouldn't spend the night apart. He said we were doing this right.

Tomorrow, in twenty hours, we will be married. We will be husband and wife and start our new life together. I am so nervous, but I am excited to finally be here. I will just be glad to get it over with, at least the ceremony part. I can't wait for our reception, our first dance, our champagne toasts, feeding each other our cake, and then three weeks completely alone with my new husband. 

Three years ago, I would have laughed if anyone told me I would be marrying Jordan Knight. Jackson even flew in for the wedding, and he hugged me when he arrived.

"You got him, girl. I am so happy for you and thrilled I can say my best friend is married to Jordan Knight. I am so happy for you, girl, but I need some details. Is he as good in bed as he is on that stage?"

"Yes, I did, and me too. He makes me so happy. Very true, and we will stay best friends. When I fly to Charlotte to visit, I promise to visit you. He's even better." She winked and walked over to Jordan. 

He wrapped his arm around her and kissed her, "I was missing you, baby. We are almost at the finish line. How are you feeling?"

"Aww, I missed you too. I was just talking to Jackson. Yes, we are and nervous, maybe scared and excited all in one."   

"I feel the same. I am excited to finally marry you, but nervous because of all the people watching us, then scared well because I'm afraid I will mess up." 

"I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling like this. You're used to performing for a crowd me not so much. I am so afraid I am going to say something wrong or forget what I'm trying to say."

"Yes, performing and marrying the love of my life is different. I dance and do everything to ease my nerves when I'm on stage. Tomorrow, it will be just you, me, and my dad. I'm so glad you asked Jon to give you away. You made his day when you asked him to walk you down the aisle."

"Good, and yes, but with the entire crowd behind us. I'm glad he said yes. I was so afraid he wouldn't. I was thinking of asking your dad, but that would be a little complicated when he is marrying us. I love Jon; he is the sweetest."

"Yes, but just think it's just you, me, and my dad. We are the only ones that matter. Don't think about the people watching. Honestly, just imagine it's me and you by ourselves, only listening to Dad's voice."

"Okay, baby. I am going to miss you so much."

"Me too, baby. I guess it's about time to head to Jon's. Are you going out with the girls tonight?"

"They wanted to go to a couple of bars, so I agreed, but our moms are going to be our designated driver. Are you and the guys going out?"  

"We are going to have a few drinks at Jon's. Just be safe and call me when you get back home. I don't care what time it is. Just call me to let me know you made it safely."
