Dedicated to fabinaswifie4eva, slcswimmer14, and Naza-Pazz for nominating me for Joanjett77's Mystery Award: Fabina Style for Best Author of Fabina Stories. It's an honor just to be nominated!

BTW, something in here was from the movie Love, Wedding, Marriage.


"NINA NINA NINA NINA! GET UP OFF YOUR ASS RIGHT THIS MOMENT! WE HAVE EXACTLY SIX HOURS AND TWENTY NINE MINUTES TO GET YOU READY!"

Nina woke up to Amber screaming into her ear and jumping on her bed. She turned over, looked at the clock, and wondered why the hell Amber was screaming at her at 6:01 in the morning. She reached for Fabian, shoving him and mumbling at him to tell his cousin to go away. But he wouldn't budge.

"Fabian, make he leave!" Nina growled, pushing Fabian harder.

"Stop pushing me Eddie!"

Nina, completely confused sat up and pulled the covers off what she thought was Fabian's sleeping body. But no. She was greeted with red hair and piercing green eyes. Not chocolate hair and soft green eyes.

Both Patricia and Nina stared at each other, neither one fully awake yet.

"You're not Eddie." Patricia stated dumbly, rubbing her eyes making left over eyeliner smudge on her face.

"You're not Fabian." Nina replied moving her head to the side.

Both of them slowly took in their surroundings, realizing they weren't in a familiar apartment. The walls were a beige color, with ceiling and floor moldings. There was a framed picture of something random on every wall (the one closest to Nina was a castle). The room was almost completely carpeted, except for a small hallway that was tiled. There were two beds, one of which Nina was in, the other occupied by a sleeping figure Nina couldn't identify at the moment.

Holy crap.

It's all coming back now…

HOLY CRAP!

Nina jumped out of bed, ran to the balcony and smiled. She took a deep breath, inhaling the warm May air. It was perfect weather.

"Guys," Nina said, turning around and walking towards the room, "I'm getting married today."


At 6:30 am, all the girls were up. The bridesmaids (Amber [Maid of Honor], Patricia, Mara, and Rosie [Jr. Bridesmaid, she wasn't joining them in the Hotel though. Mrs. Rutter wanted her to stay with her]) were all very excited. Amber had called in a hairstylist (a friend of hers) to come to the Hotel room to do Nina's hair. A manicure and pedicure had been completed the night before. Actually…

"Hey Nina can you pass me my headband." Amber said as they were preparing for bed.

"Oh sure- AMBER!" Nina screamed.

"What? What's the matter?" Amber asked, as Mara jolted up in her bed.

"Everyone look at your nails." Nina said slowly.

"What's wrong with them-Oh..." Patricia started, being the first to understand.

"Wait, why is-oh no…" Mara, the next person to get it.

"Why is everyone… OMG MY GOD! WE HAVE TO GET TO A NAIL SALON NOW!"

"Amber, it's two in the morning!" Nina yelled. The girls had just gotten back from Nina's Bachelorette Party.

"The hotel has a 24 hour spa!" Amber shouted, picking up the phone and dialing before anyone could protest. "Hi, I need to have 4 appointments made for ten minutes from now. It's an emergency and I'll pay absolutely anything." Amber put her hand over the phone, "What are you guys just standing around for? Get ready!"

Yeah. That was surely an adventure.

After that lovely adventure, well… let's just say everyone was exhausted. And now, they were all up at 6 and fresh for a wedding. Even though all of them only got three hours of sleep, after two Monster Energy drinks and a Red Bull each they were awake enough to get ready.

They decided, that since the wedding was at 12:30 pm in the Hotel garden (Neither Nina or Fabian were very religious, so they opted for an outdoor ceremony and a reception to follow immediately after in the Hotel's Grand Ballroom) the dress would be the last to go on. The bridesmaids had all chipped in and bought Nina a knee length white dress with a light purple band around the waist. It was strapless and to be worn with the ballet flats they got to match. Nina was to wear it before she put on her dress and after the wedding, when she was leaving for her honeymoon.

"Nina!" Amber smiled, pulling her to a chair, "So, this is how everything is going to work. I've assigned everybody a stylist. You're getting Lily, Mara's getting Ali, Patricia's getting Tori, and I'm getting Skylar. So, we're doing our hair first, than make-up. Got it?"

"Yeah," Nina said.


After all the stylists had gone and their hair and make-up was done, the girls sat around with glasses of champagne, talking.

"So, you ready?" Patricia asked Nina, more than ready to know what it was like to get married. Eddie had asked her only two weeks ago.

"Yeah, I think so." Nina said, letting a small laugh escape her lips. "I mean, I think we all knew that me and Fabian would get married. I certainly did. Even when we had broken up, at Amber and Mick's wedding when we walked down the aisle together I couldn't help but know that it wouldn't be the last time I'd walk down the aisle and see his face smiling at me."

Amber squealed.

"Speaking of Amber and Mick…" Mara said, "Where's Andrew?"

"With a nanny I hired to watch him until the ceremony ends." Amber told them, "She's going to bring him to the reception."

Fabian and Nina wanted Andrew to be the ring bearer, but when the figured he was too young, they had Romeo do it instead. They had the rings on a chair around his neck. Juliet was the flower girl. How Amber had created a way for petals to fall from the dog's basket, they'll never know.

"Hey guys, I'll be right back." Nina said, "I have to confirm something for the wedding."

The girls nodded and Nina walked out. Was she going to the front desk to work out wedding details? No. She was going to Fabian's room, like they'd planned, to have one last heavy make-out session before the got married. Fabian assured her no one would be in the room, he'd have his Groomsmen (Mick, Eddie, Jerome, and Blaine) out. He'd leave the door open.

When she got there, as promised, the door was open. But Nina didn't go in just yet. Someone was in there.

Joy?

She was kissing her fiancé.

"Joy! Get the hell off me!" Fabian was shouting at her, "I'm getting married in three hours!"

"To that slag? Why?"

"Joy, she's not a slag. Now get out of here, she'll be down any minute."

"Fabian, that girl doesn't fit in the puzzle your dad planned out for you and you know it. You dad wanted you to marry a nice, English girl. Someone in a high position, like me-"

"You dumped me, remember? And Nina is perfect."

"She's American Fabian! She doesn't deserve you!"

"My mum loves her."

"What about your grandfather on your dad's side. You know, CEO of that marketing company. I'm sure he'd be thrilled when he finds out you're marrying a jobless American girl."

"She wrote a book! It's a bestseller!"

"Fabian she won't fit in your world and you know it! You may think you've known her long, but you haven't at all." Joy's tone was slow and sickening. "What happens when she sees how out of place she in your high class world. She's worse than your ex-wife."

Ex-wife?

"Joy, she wasn't a real wife!" Fabian shouted, "I was drunk out of my mind, I was in college, and we were married in one of those, quickie churches! Mick was the only one who knew! How the hell did you know?"

"You drunk dialed me to tell me that night." Joy smirked.

"Ugh… why the fuck are you bringing this up on my wedding day?" Fabian asked, "My real wedding. To a perfect girl."

"I thought I could talk a bit of sense into you." Joy said.

"You're one to accuse me of keeping secrets." Nina sighed, walking in after a long pause between the two. Fabian saw her and got a very scared look on his face (imagine the look when Nina came in and heard him and Joy talking about going to see a movie. When she told him to forget everything). "Fabian, I'm devastated I didn't get an invite to your wedding."

"Nina, Nina, please listen to me!" Fabian shouted running over and grabbing her hand, which she quickly pulled from him. He kept a hand firmly on her cheek, "It doesn't matter."

"Funny, I said the same thing to you a few months ago when we almost ruined our relationship." Nina said, tears running from her eyes. Fabian gently wiped them away with his thumb, knowing that if he screwed up her make-up she'd like totally kill him.

"Nina, we can't let this ruin us." He whispered.

"The wedding is off Fabian." Nina muttered, slipping from his grasp.

Fabian chased her down the hall, leaving Joy in his room, watching with glee. Nina ran through the door, to find the groomsmen and bridesmaids gathered there.

"Guys, start packing." Nina told them.

"Why?" Mara questioned, fixing her blush in the mirror.

"Because the wedding's off."
