Ahh, I can't believe it! It's February thirteenth- the day of my wedding! Currently, I'm at Arlene's house, along with her, the other Chantels, and Little Anthony of the Imperials. Arlene and Jackie are doing my makeup, and the other Chantels and Anthony are watching me, and I can see the interest in their eyes. "Ooh, Alyssa! You look so marvelous!" one of the Chantels says. I grin and reply "Thanks!" Anthony chimes in, asking "Who's gonna be at the wedding?" "The Chantels, you and the other Imperials, Sam Cooke, Dion and the Belmonts, Jimmy Castor, and a whole bunch of the Teenagers' current labelmates on the Columbia label will be there. Oh, and songwriters Leiber and Stoller, those guys who wrote a lot of the Coasters' hits, will be there. In addition to that, Lewis Lymon and the Teenchords, and the Teenagers' manager, Harrington, and his wife, Caryn, will be there," I reply. Arlene giggles her sweet giggle and says "Yay! I can't wait to see Sam Cooke! He's just so hot!" Then, everyone in the room starts to laugh. Oh, I'm so damn excited!

(Sherman's P.O.V.)
The day of my wedding, a day which I've anticipated for so damn long, is finally here. The other Teenagers and I, along with our former group-mates Billy, Kenny, and Freddie, are getting ready for the wedding, which is set to take place in two hours. Herman walks into my room with his somewhat bulky-looking camera in hand. He grins and says "I have enough film! Hey, let me get a photo!" I look off into the distance, and I hear the familiar shutter sound of the camera. "Thanks for taking up photography in your spare time, Herman. It makes me happy to see all of your candid pictures of landscapes and people," I say, grinning. Herman is about to reply when my younger brother, Andre, walks into the room. Oh, I've been wondering where Andre was. He was probably in his room.
Andre looks at me and says "Hey, Sherman, can we talk for a moment in the hallway?" Nodding my head, I proceed to follow Andre into the hallway, wondering what he wants to talk to me about. Andre looks me straight in the eyes and says "Big brother, I am so excited for you and your soon-to-be-wife. Today is the day that both of you join your hearts together in marriage. You're lucky to have Alyssa. She is a great girl, and an overall amazing person. I'm glad that I'm going to have a step-relative. Maybe one day, I'll be able to call myself "Uncle Andre." Big brother, keep your love for Alyssa true and pure, okay?" Grinning, I nod my head and respond "Andre, that was so eloquently spoken. Thank you so much. For a seventeen-year-old, you're quite the speaker. I will keep my love for Alyssa so damn true. She means so much to me, and I'm blessed to have her. Ya know what, Andre? One day, you will be able to call yourself an uncle." Out of the blue, I hear the familiar shutter sound of Herman's camera, and Herman says "Beautiful! Now, we need to get to the chapel! It's almost wedding time!" Oh, holy shit. I'm so fucking excited! Alyssa will look so damn divine.
