Our wedding was in two weeks. We had gotten almost everything for it and I was happy. I had gotten my dress and everything. It was beautiful.
Joe and I were laying on the ground, on a blanket after our picnic date. These are the moments I loved and would always remember.
"You know we have everything figured except for one thing. Who's gonna give you away?" Joe asked.
I hadn't thought about that. Normally it's always the father of the bride but my father hadn't really been a father to me until lately. Who was next in line?
"I need to go to the hotel for a second. Can I meet you back at our room?" I asked.
"Of course." he said.
I kissed him and then got up and walked away.

I knocked on the door once I found it and he answered. "Hey." he said.
"Hi. I need to talk to you." I said.
"Okay." He let me in and then closed the door. "What's going on?"
"Uncle John, I know you're only my uncle but I have something very important I need you to do for me."
"Anything baby. What is it?"
"My dad was never really a father to me and when I thought I didn't have a father, I had you. You were and still are the closest thing I'll ever have to a real dad. Joe and I have everything figured out for the wedding except for one detail." I paused. "Would you give me away?"
"Of course I will baby."
"Thank you. I don't know what I would have done if you had said no. So thank you."
"I would never say no. But you know that I could never officially give you away. You're always gonna be my little girl." he said.
I felt tears form in my eyes. "Thank you. I love you so much."
"I love you too." he paused. "Have you told your dad yet?"
"Yeah. I texted him on the way here. I know most girls have their fathers give them away but it just didn't feel right. Not with how much he's done." I said.
"I know. Well I'm honored and I will definitely give you away."

I was spending the rest of the day with the girls. They wanted to give me a bachelorette party and at first I said no but they convinced me with a little help from Joe.
We were sitting in the limo heading to the club we were going to and having conversations about Joe and I.
"So you guys have never had sex yet?" Nikki asked.
"No. It just never came up. I mean, we've had chances but we just never took them." I said.
"So it really is just about love?" she asked.
"Yeah. I'm so in love with him. It's amazing how someone can feel this way."
"That's good."
"So about this party." I said. "What are you guys doing?"
"You'll see. We're not telling you until we get there. Just know that you are gonna have the time of your life and if you don't go home and want to have sex with your man, there's definitely something wrong with you." Brie said.
"Guys I don't need any help to want to have sex with him. I want to every day. I just don't want to ruin the special moment." I said.
"Well trust me, you're gonna want to have sex with him after tonight. I promise."
When we got where we were going we piled out of the limo and walked into the club. There were women everywhere. Where were the guys?
"What's going on?" I asked. "There's just girls here."
"It's a surprise." Nikki said. She walked up to someone and said something to a lady and then the lady took off running to the stage. This was weird.
The girls grabbed me and took me to the front of the stage and I just looked around wondering what was going on.
A woman came on the stage with a microphone. "Good evening everybody. Tonight we have a special surprise for a special bride. Where's Katie Campion?"
I smiled and looked down at the ground. This was definitely all Nikki's idea. A bunch of the girls were pushing me on the stage. I was told to sit down in the chair that was in the middle of the stage. I took a seat and then some music started playing. A bunch of guys walked out and surrounded me. My eyes went wide and my mouth dropped.
All of the guys started dancing on me and I could all of the girls cheering and screaming. I started laughing and really enjoying myself. I mean, it's my bachelorette party, right? I was allowed to enjoy myself.
When they were done all of us girls went over to the bar and ordered a few drinks. We started dancing and I saw Nikki recording everything.
"Just so you know, if Joe says something about this, I'm blaming it all on you Nikki." I said.
"That's fine. It was my idea anyway." she said.
"You did enjoy yourself though, right?" Brie asked.
"I would be lying if I said I didn't but at the end of the day I just wish Joe would dance on me like that. That was hot." I said.
"Yeah girl. Maybe you should teach him how to do it." Nikki said.
"You guys are horrible. But I guess it would be fun."
We were all having fun and then it was time to go back to the hotel. Nikki recorded almost the whole night.

When I got back to the hotel room, I was pretty drunk. The girls really did a number on me. I opened the door and walked in. Joe was sitting on the couch. I tossed my purse down and climbed on top of him.
"How was your night?" he asked.
"I want you. Now." I said.
"I guess it was good."
"I can't believe we're getting married in two weeks. It feels so unreal."
"I know. I love you." he said.
"I love you too. I need the bathroom." I said. I got up and ran to the bathroom. I threw up and then passed out. I don't even remember where I passed out at.
