A story to tell | ross geller x reader

I ross take thee y/n

*BIG FAT TIME SKIP*

Today the group were all leaving to London for Ross' wedding and I would have gone but I just couldn't bear it,so I made up the excuse that I should stay here with Phoebe and help her as she's pregnant after all.

Ross comes up to me.
"Y/n are you sure you're not gonna come? I mean it's my big day!"
"Sorry Ross,you know work and pheebs and stuff."
"Couldn't you just please take a couple days off?" I hated the plead in his voice,it made me feel worse.
"I'm sorry Ross."
"No,honestly it's fine if you wanna miss it do it. You can just watch the video on tape when we're back."

I feel bad I really do but I can't see the man I still love marrying another woman,it just won't be right.

We all said our goodbyes and off they went,I still can't believe how quick all of this has happened. Me and phoebe are stuck in Manhattan looking after the chick and duck I guess.
———————————————————-
I won't lie to you I was definitely having second thoughts about this whole entire thing.
"Should I go or no? No! It's gonna be too awkward y/n you can't do that!" I say to myself.
However,there and then I made the decision I've been longing to make. I shouted from my bedroom standing next to my already packed case.
"Hey pheebs you know where they keep the chick and the duck food right?"
"Yeah in the cabinet under the sink. Why?"
"Okay good because I'm going."
"Where? Your going where?"
I walk out with my suitcase whilst brushing my hair quickly. "I'm gonna tell Ross how I really feel and no one is gonna stop me."
"What?? No y/n you can't do that! It's gonna ruin everything!"

There I went and 7 hours later I arrived in the gigantic city of London. It felt fairly similar to New York. I mean they had the busyness,the crowds,the stores,the people,god so many people. I remember when Emily couldn't stop ranting about where they were going to have the wedding,so I knew exactly where I was going to be heading. I decide to take an underground which is just like a subway but a bit more quieter,I still had my luggage in hand but I couldn't care less.
"I hope Ross feels the same way. What if he doesn't? No no don't have that mindset idiot."
I walk into the little venue which is covered in fairy lights and full of life. I see Ross immediately but he is clearly too occupied kissing Emily. I hate that woman so much you have no idea.
He finally sees me standing there.
"Y/n oh my god! You said you weren't gonna come!"
"Well you know."
He hugs me and it feels like the best feeling in the whole world.
"What changed your mind?"
"I just um came to say..." my brain stops functioning and I get too worried to say what I was supposed to say and what I had been planning on saying this whole time. "Congratulations!"
"Yeah!
He laughs. "You came all the way here to say congratulations?"
"Yeah!"
"Well I'm happy you're here y/n. It wouldn't be the same without you,I was really upset when you said you weren't coming."
"You're one of my best friends. I wouldn't miss this."
I already know this won't be his last wedding obviously (See what I did there).

It's now later on and the wedding has begun after what felt like hours. The music is playing and we all turn our heads to see Emily making her way up the aisle. I can see the look of love Ross gives to her,I only know that because he used to give me that exact look. We all look at her and she is being escorted by her father,he gives her a kiss on the cheek as she takes her place standing opposite Ross.
The minister speaks, "friends,family. We are gathered here today to celebrate the joyous union of Ross and Emily. May the happiness we share today be shared between them both for eternity. Now Emily i'd like you to repeat after me. I Emily."

She does so. "I Emily."

"Take thee Ross."

"Take thee Ross."

"As my lawfully wedded husband in sickness and in health til death parts us."

"As my lawfully wedded husband in sickness and in health til death parts us."

The minister continues. "Now Ross you repeat after me. I Ross."

"I Ross"

Is it bad that this is really killing me inside and I have this gut tingling feeling that I should stand up and confess my love?
Ross looks so happy.
This has been the hardest thing I've ever had to watch since the wham! farewell concert when I was 16 in 1986.

"I Ross."

"Take thee Emily."

"Take thee y/n"
My eyes widen in that moment and my mouth drops open. Did he just say my name or am I hearing things? I look around to see everyone in a state of shock.
