Laura's P.O.V

Today was the big day. The day Ross and I get married. My heart was beating out of my chest. I don't think I've ever been this happy in my entire life. I was currently standing in my bedroom, with my dress in hand. Vanessa, Rydel and Stormie were all waiting in the living room, also keeping Ryan occupied for awhile. While I was here getting ready, Ross and his brothers were at the other house getting ready as well. I can only imagine how handsome he'll look in his tuxedo. I stripped out of my regular afternoon clothes and got into my dress. I pulled it up all the way to my chest, then closed the zipper in the back. I stared at myself in the mirror and smiled. I admired the way my dress sparkled in the sunlight that was shining through the window. My dress was a strapless, graceful looking gown with shimmering jewels on the upper chest and waist. It was one of the smallest sizes, because I was so short and tiny. But I loved it. I smiled, and spun around once just to see the bottom of the dress fly up a little bit. I think it looks amazing. I hope Ross thinks the same. I walked over to the bedroom door, opened it up and walked down the hall into the living room. I see all the girls there playing with Ryan. The first one to notice me is Rydel. She looks up at me, lightly gasps, and cups her hand over her mouth. Vanessa and Stormie look up at me as well. They both break out into huge smiles.

Stormie: Oh, Laura. 'she says standing up and walking over to her' You look gorgeous.

I looked down and blushed.

Laura: Thank you.

Vanessa: Oh, my little sister is growing up.

I give her a smile, then walk over to her. She stands up and pulls me into a hug. I squeeze her tightly.

Vanessa: I'm gonna miss you being a Marano. 'she teases'

I giggled into her shoulder.

Laura: In my heart, I always will be.

We both pulled away and smiled at each other. I then look over at Rydel, who is now in tears.

Laura: Aw, Rydel. What is it?

Rydel smiled at me while wiping her eyes.

Rydel: You just look so pretty and... Know that I could never ask for a better sister.

Her words made me light up in side. I walked over to her as well and hugged her too. After we pulled away, she stood up from the couch.

Rydel: Okay, enough of the tears. We'll have plenty of time for that later. Right now we've gotta get your hair and make up ready!

I smiled as all three of the girls pulled me out of the living room and over to the kitchen table. They had laid out all sorts of hair products, blushes, make up kits, brushes, you name it! Stormie started to work on my hair, Rydel started to apply make up, and Vanessa started painting my nails. I felt like a princess. I couldn't wait for today.

Ross's POV:

Rocky: Wow. Laura's gonna be drooling over you big time. 'he teases'

I looked at myself in the mirror. I stared at me in this tuxedo. Today was the day, Laura and I get married. I can't believe this is all really happening. I'm so happy I could just burst. Laura was at our house getting ready with all the girls. I can see her now, walking down the isle towards me in a beautiful wedding dress. I can't wait to finally see my bride. According to my family, I'm not "allowed" to see her yet. I can't see her 'til the wedding. I turned around to face my brothers. Plus Ellington of course, and my father.

Ross: Do I look okay? Do you think Laura will like it?

Riker: Dude, you look fine! Stop worrying so much, it'll all be good.
