"You're telling me...there's no cake...no flowers and the band is LATE?!" Eddie screamed to the wedding planner's face. 

"S-Sir-" 

"Shut the FUCK up! I only get one wedding day and you're fucking it u-" 

"Heeeey babe!" Richie swooped in between the trembling little woman in front of raging Eddie. "Shouldn't you be getting dressed?" 

Eddie looked down at his dirty white T-shirt and Richie's old black sweatpants which were on a tight knot cause otherwise they would just slide right off. He didn't even have shoes on. 

"Ugh, Rich! I know you're not able to handle this chaos. Get out of my sight!" Eddie spat at Richie. 

"Ah my lovely fiance" Richie sighed in awe and waved at Beverly who just entered the church. "BEV!" 

"Hey guys! What's-" 

"Take Eddie and make sure he gets ready!" Richie pushed Eddie onto Bev's arms and turned back to the wedding planner Liliana. 

"Sorry sweetheart, my lovely future husband is an absolute stressball right now, don't worry. Can you please ask where the band is right now and if the flowers and cake won't get here on time, charge them." Richie said in a calm voice. 

"But then we won't have flowers or a cake?" Liliana furrowed her brows. 

"Well that's your job, innit? Come up with a new plan. You're a smart girl, you'll come up with something!" Richie grinned and left, heading back to his own room. 

"Bev, let go!" Eddie whined when he was finally pushed into his dressing room. There was a large king sized bed where his white suit was laid out. 

"Sorry. Orders from boss." Bev smiled a little. "Will you get dressed. The ceremony starts in an hour and a half." 

Eddie sighed and sat on the bed. "What if this is a mistake..."

"Excuse me?!" Bev choked. "You're questioning marrying Richie? Your childhood best friend and lover? Are you on crack?" 

Eddie smiled a little and shook his head. "No I just...There's been signs...Richie's cheated on me and lied and...and been Richie...and now the cake and the band and flowers...the universe is saying that I should not be doing this" 

"Are you fucking stupid?" Bev slapped the back of Eddie's head, earning a little 'ow' from the man. "You're in love with Richie and Richie is in love with you. Yeah he's been an idiot but you two have made them through and you've made it all the way here. Now if you don't remember when Ben and I got married, my fucking wedding dress wasn't made on time and I had to purchase a new one and didn't get to get married in my dream dress." 

"Really?" Eddie said quietly and looked up. 

"Really. But you know what, it didn't matter. Cause I'm marrying the man I love. And so are you. Some cake and flowers aren't going to make your destiny. I know you're gonna regret if you won't go through this." Bev patted Eddie's head and smiled.
