(Missi's POV)

Shannon had a grip on my hand as we pulled away from the house in the limo that was taking us to the airport. Every now and then he'd squeeze my hand and smile at me.

'Oh my God.' I said when we pulled up to a hangar with a private jet waiting.

'This is definitely a lifestyles of the rich and famous moment going on here.' Chelsea said when she saw why I was surprised.

'First class all the way. This is the best way to fly.' Shannon chuckled at our amazement.

Jared, Brittany and Inez were already on board and the girls were drinking champagne and having hors d'oeuvres while Jared stood near the back talking on his phone.

'There they are, the happy couple!' Brittany squealed and there were hugs all around. 'How ya holding up there Shannon?' She teased when she saw him.

'Good, it's all good.' He said grinning nervously.

'Are you excited? I'm very excited.' Inez said happily.

'Oh yes, we're definitely excited.' I said, and we all chuckled.

'Hey bro, are you excited?' Jared asked Shannon as he put his phone away and greeted him.

'Yeah, but if one more person asks me that I may pull my hair out.' Shannon snickered as he sat down.

'You do look a little pale.' Jared laughed and patted him on the back. 'Maybe we'll skip the champagne and have a stiff drink.' He said motioning for the flight attendant.

'Sounds good.' Shannon replied.

I downed a couple glasses of champagne before takeoff and the girls all settled into the front section of the jet.

'This is too weird.' I said to Brittany.

'Why? You've done it before.' She said.

'Yeah, but certainly not like this. The only people there were witnesses. I keep imagining myself tripping and falling tomorrow or doing something embarrassing.'

'That would be kinda cute actually, like when you fell at his feet when you met.' Brittany said, and she and Chelsea laughed heartily.

I looked over at Shannon, wanting to be beside him so I could hold onto him for comfort. He noticed me looking at him and his brief smile seemed to indicate he was as anxious as I was.

'Missi will be staying in my room tonight.' I heard Chelsea say, followed by another round of laughter.

'Shh. I haven't told Shannon yet.' I said.

'When do you plan on telling him?' Chelsea asked grinning.

'I guess I'll do it now, on my way to the bathroom.'

'Good luck Missi. We're rooting for you.' Brittany chuckled as I stood up.

'Come here babe.' Shannon said and pulled me onto his lap and gave me a hug. 'Are you okay?' He whispered.

'I think so. I need to talk to you.' I said, and he looked concerned.

I glanced at Jared, whose eyes were wide with intrigue as I stood up.

'What's wrong babe? Nerves?' Shannon asked as we walked away.

'Nothing, I just need to tell you something Chelsea mentioned earlier. It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding, so I'll be sleeping in her room tonight.' I said.
