Jon's POV

I yawned as I sat up and stretched my arms. I looked over and saw Mackenzie curled up in a ball next to me. I feel like I need to do something really special for her, she's done so much for me lately. But what would I do? That's when it hit me. I'm going to plan a surprise wedding for her! She was telling me about how much she wanted to get married before our second kid was born, so why not? I crawled out of bed and tip-toed out of the room, being careful not to wake Mackenzie. I ran downstairs and grabbed a notebook and a pen. I sat down at the kitchen table jotting down places she'd like, her favorite foods, and even her dress. I want her dress to be extra sentimental, and that's exactly why I'm designing it. It definitely can't be a traditional wedding either. It needs to have color...LOTS of color. Wait, who am I going to invite? There's so much I need to do...and so little time to do it. Just then Mackenzie trotted down the stairs with Mackena, and sat down on the couch. I scrambled to put away the notebook and walked in the family room to join her.

Mackena had already become occupied with a plastic phone, talking into it like she was talking to Kermit the frog. So me and Mackenzie sat watching her for a few minutes, until she said she needed go to her friends house to pick something up.

"I'll be right back," she assured "Mackena do you wanna come?" She asked.

"Hol' on Kermit," she announced into her phone "yes Mummy." She said.

Mackenzie and I chuckled as Mackena told "Kermit" that she had to go, and would call him later. Mackenzie hoisted her up and carried her out the door. You know, something tells me she's not going to "a friends house". I need to check this out.

I watched out the window until Mackenzie had drove off, then I grabbed the keys to my 1986 Camaro and followed her. I kept a fair distance from her car and drove at a mild speed until she pulled into the parking lot of a building by the name of "Tot Spot Daycare". A daycare? Why would she put Mackena in a daycare? Just then, Mackenzie stepped out of the car and took of her jacket, revealing a shirt with the logo printed on it and a name tag the said Hello my name is Mackenzie. She works there? Since when?!

I turned around and drove home. Why wouldn't she tell me? We have enough money from my music as it is.

I drove home and took the opportunity to work on the wedding plans for a while. Then I stood up and stared at the notebook in awe.

"It's done...the wedding is planned, dress designed." I said to myself.

I drove down to the Sanintonio Beach, which was about ten minutes away, and decided that's where I want the wedding to happen. Mackenzie will love this. I grabbed a phone and started calling everybody.

"Tico, tell the guys to get down to Sanintonio right now. The wedding is happening. Make sure you were bright colors. This is happening...It's really happening..." I said as I hung up the phone.

I called all of Mackenzie's family and friends, and my own and invited them. Then I started setting up at Sanintonio Beach.

Mackenzie's POV

I was at work for hours, cleaning, feeding, wiping, and changing every freaking kid in the daycare. I was just about to lose it when Mia spilled her juice all over the table, but Mrs. Tanner called for me before I could.

"Mackenzie, you have a phone call in the main office." She said.

Who would be calling? Nobody knows I work here. Oh no...what if Jon found out..oh dear God I think he found out.

"Ok, be right there." I said as I tossed a rag over Mia's mess and walked towards the office.

"Hello?" I said.

"Hey, It's Jon. I know you work here but we can talk about it later. What time do you get off?" He asked.

"Umm, around 6:30. Why?" I said.

"Don't ask, just meet me at Sanintonio Beach right after work, and make sure you bring Mackena." He said as he hung up the phone.

Um ok...that was strange.

I worked a few more hours until it was finally 6:30. I packed my bag, grabbed Mackena, and headed down to Sanintonio Beach. When I arrived, a friend of mine, Tonya, grabbed me and pushed me and Mackena into a changing room on the pier. She tossed over two neon paint splatter dresses and told us to put them on. I slipped into the long dress with ruffles from the waist down, then put Mackena into her short little dress that went down to her knees on her. We walked out and Tonya hung up the pay phone she'd been using, and grabbed my hand.

She walked us off the pier, then handed me a blindfold and told me to put it on. She put one on Mackena as well, then kept walking us onto the beach.

"Ok" She said as she slipped something onto my head.

"Open your eyes." Tonya instructed.

I pulled of my blind fold and saw a long white rug with chairs lined up in rows filled with all of me and Jon's family, all the way down it leading to a bright purple and blue arch, and standing under it? Jon.

"Oh my God..." I said as I stared at everything in front of me.

Tonya pulled the veil over my face, and handed Mackena a basket full of flowers and me a bouquet.

"Ok Mackena, I need you to walk down the carpet and throw the flowers all over it. Ok?" Tonya told Mackena.

Mackena nodded her head and started throwing the flowers as the music started playing. My brother, Jacob, walked me down the aisle as I made my way to Jon. As I finally reached him, he looked at me and winked. As I stood hand in hand with Jon, I looked around at the people around me. Then I saw Tonya holding Eden's picture, standing behind me, and Jacob holding Anna's.

"They're my bridesmaids after all..." I whispered to myself.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are gathered here today to join Mackenzie and Jon in an everlasting love. Let us begin," Said the priest. "Jon, do you take Mackenzie to be your loftily wedded wife, to have and to hold through sickness and health, good times and bad times, for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." Said Jon.

"Mackenzie, do you take Jon to be your loftily wedded husband, to have and to hold through sickness and health, good times and bad times, for as long as you both shall live?" Asked the Priest.

"I do." I said with a smile.

"May I have the rings please?" The priest asked.

Jon's nephew Matt handed the priest the rings, and he slipped them onto our fingers.

"With the power invested in me, I now pronounce you, Husband and Wife, you may kiss the bride." The priest concluded.

Jon grabbed my waist, titled me back, and pressed his lips against mine harder and more lovingly then ever before. Then as we sat back up, the audience roared with excitement. Then I turned my back and threw the bouquet behind me. When I turned around I saw that the flowers and latch themselves perfectly onto both Eden's and Anna's picture frames. I looked at their pictures and whispered "Look guys...I'm married...I finally made it."
