Till Death Do Us

Chapter 1

October 24, 2003. The big day was approaching for 2 young lovers of Connecticut. Stephanie McMahon, the beautiful bride-to-be was in her mid-to-late 20's with beautiful shoulder-length hair, beautiful eyes and a perfect smile. She would be, as of tomorrow, wed to the dashingly handsome, early 30's, clean-shaven, blond haired groom-to-be known as Paul Levesque. Although he looked rough and tough with his muscular, very muscular physique, he was a kind soul with a loving smile and caring eyes. Every time he would talk to one of his friends about Stephanie, the love in his eyes for here was visible and it was also the same for Stephanie when she would talk to her friends about Paul.

Paul was just finishing his workout at Gold's Gym when he decided to dial up his future bride, whom happened to be out on the town that afternoon. She reached for her cellphone when it rang. She read the name on the caller ID and grinned from ear to ear. "Hey, Paul," she answered gleefully.

"Hey, Steph. How are you?"

"Great. Super. Just getting some last minute shopping done before the wedding tomorrow morning."

"Wedding. I didn't know there was a wedding tomorrow. How come I wasn't invited? Who's getting married?"

If there was one thing that Stephanie loved most about Paul, it was his sense of humor. Stephanie had to laugh at his cuteness. "Well, I'm hoping it's you and I."

Paul let out a laugh of his own, then continued. "Can you believe it? Tomorrow we are to wed. We are going to be married. It's all I can think about."

"I know. So exciting. Did you call your family to remind them of what time the ceremony begins?"

"Yes I did," Paul answered walking out of the gym. "I called before I came to the gym. I needed to get a pre-wedding workout in so I don't look like a big ape in a tuxedo on our big day."

"Honey, I'm sure you'll look fine." There was a brief silence and Stephanie became curious and anxious. "Is something wrong, Paul?"

Paul hopped into his Hummer and fastened his seat belt as he gave here his most honest answer. "I'm fine, sweetie. I guess I'm just having the pre-wedding jitters."

"Yeah me too," she agreed. "Butterflies in my stomach. I've dreamed of this day ever since I was a child. I imagined what it would be like to walk down the aisle to my future husband. I'm glad I finally get to walk down that aisle straight to you."

"I'll tell ya, Steph. Tomorrow will be one of the best days of my life."

"Mine too, Paul." Stephanie hopped into her car after her bags in the back seat. "Well, I'm gonna hang up and head over to my mothers house."

"You still spending the night over at your mom's house tonight?"

"Yep. But I'll see you at the rehearsal dinner tonight around 6:30"

"Ok. I'll see you there. I love you, Stephanie McMahon."

"I love you too, Paul Levesque."

The rehearsal dinner was absolute perfection and went off swimmingly. Everything was ready and in place for the big event. Later on that night, Paul was lying in his bed thinking about what tomorrows events would bring. He looked at a picture of Stephanie on his bedside table.

"Until tomorrow, my love." He blew a kiss to the picture, then turned off the lamp. "Oh Paul," he said to himself. "Soon she will be your loving bride. Quit worrying about the wedding. What can possibly go wrong?"
