Alabama

The Perfect Storm

Jason's pov

Finally my wedding day. I look at Luke, my best man. He smiles back. "Never thought I'd be standing up here like this." He says. I push him playfully. "Just waitin' on you and Rachel now buddy." He laughs. "In due time." The doors open and I turn my head that way. A big smile lands on my face. She walks over, led by her dad. He nods to me. I smile and shake his hand then hold her hands.

*later*

"You may kiss the bride." I smile and pull her close to me and kiss her hard. I hear the crowd laughing. We go to the reception. It was the father daughter dance and I was watching them. She definitely has a close relationship with her dad. I'm glad he approved of me. "Hey Jason?" Uh oh. I know that voice. Sierra. I turn around, instantly nervous. "What's up?" "I uh I'm sorry about all that begging to take me back stuff." This is so awkward. "I hope you're not mad." I shake my head, trying to think of a way out of this. "I uh we're cool." "Jason, hurry up!" Luke calls, holding my guitar! Oh yes! A way out of this! "I uh I gotta go uh do this thing." I mumble.

Miranda's pov

The lights go down low. I glance to the stage confused and see my cowboy all dressed in his tuxedo and holding a mic in his hand. "Bama this one's for you." I smile. He glances at Luke. "Ready?" "Got ya." He says, giving him a thumbs up. He flips a switch and suddenly projections of rain clouds appear on the walls. "If she were a drink, she'd be single barrel bourbon on ice. Smooth with a kick a chill and a burn all at the same time! She's Sunday drive meets high speed chase, she ain't just the song she's the whole mixed tape. She's so complicated that's the way God made her, sunshine mixed with a little hurricane." He rips a few chords on the guitar and smiles at me. He tears the tux off revealing a T-shirt and jeans. I laugh. "And she destroys me in that T-shirt and I love her so much it hurts and I never meant to fall like this but she don't just rain she pours, that girl right there's the perfect storm." He says, pointing to me. Rachel and Sierra pick me up and put me on the stage. He grabs my hand. "I know how to make her laugh, or blush, or mad at me. But that's okay there ain't no one more beautiful angry and she loves just as deep as goes when she's down, the highs match the lows can't have one without the other. And I love her just the way God made her sunshine mixed with a little hurricane." The sound of thunder and rain fills the room as he sings this. Tears filling my eyes. "And I never meant to fall like this but she don't just rain she pours. That girl right there's the perfect storm!" He spins me around and my back comes to rest on his chest. "She's the thrill of a lifetime a guy like me spends his whole life lookin' for, yeah that girl right there's the perfect storm!"the projections fade away and the thunder vanishes. "Y'all give it up for my kickass Alabama lovin' country girl wife!" He shouts, holding me around the waist. I smile. My surprise should be getting here soon. "This ain't the only love song tonight." I say, confusing him. "Huh? You gonna sing babe?" I shake my head. The doors open. "They are." I say, pointing. He looks to the door.

Alabama!!! How'd she get Ala-freaking-bama here?! I'm so shocked, I feel dizzy.

Miranda's pov

He faints onstage and falls offstage! I jump down instantly. "Oh my God!" I gasp. He groans and starts to wake up and I help him up. "Did I just imagine the Alabama band being at my wedding?" He mumbles, looking at me. I smile and shake my head. "Pleased to finally meet the famous Jason Aldean." Randy Owen. His eyes nearly bulge out of his head. "R-Randy O-Owen." He gapes shocked and wide eyed. He faints again. I can't help but laugh. "He's a big fan." I mumble embarrassed. They go to the stage and I shake Jason awake.

I can't believe I fainted like that... TWICE. I stand back up and Miranda pulls me onto the dance floor. I guess this'll be the bride and groom dance. "I once thought of love as a prison, a place I didn't wanna be, so long ago I made a decision to be footloose and fancy free. But you came and I was so tempted to gamble on love just one time!" Love in the first degree. This song describes what I used to be to a T. To what I am now. "I never thought that I would get caught. It seemed like the perfect crime! Baby you left me defenseless but I've only got one plea, lock me away inside your love and throw away the key. I'm guilty, of love in the first degree." I hold her hands and we stare into each other's eyes. "You make all my dreams come true." I whisper. I kiss her gently a hand on the back of her neck as my favorite band plays at our wedding. The song echoing in my mind. Love in the first degree... Yeah, love in the first degree.
