"I'd like to introduce to you for the first time Mr. And Mrs. Ross Geller!" Ross walked into the room holding Rachel's hand. "Its time for them to dance their first dance as husband and wife" Joey said. He smiled at them "I wish you guys a lifetime of happiness, I love you guys" 'he said as he walked off the stage.

Never knew such a day could come
And I never knew such a love
Could be inside of one
And I never knew what my life was for
But now that you're here I know for sure
I never knew till I looked in your eyes
I was incomplete till the day you walked into my life
And I never knew that my heart could feel
So precious and pure
One love so real
Can I just see you every morning when
I open my eyes
Can I just feel your heart beating beside me
Every night
Can we just feel this way together
Till the end of all time
Can I just spend my life with you
Ross gently swayed to the music holding his new wife close. Rachel smiled up at him. She loved being in her new husband's arms. They continued to dance, kissing each other and whispering words of love. Their friends watched from a nearby table. "Aww they look so in love" Monica whispered reaching for Chandler's hand. "Yeah they do!" Joey giggled. "See I told you, she's his lobster!" Phoebe stated proudly. Mike laughed "Yeah they do look happy and warm" he giggled remembering his own wedding.
Now baby the days and the weeks
And the years will roll by
But nothing will change the love inside
Of you and I
And baby I'll never find any words
That could explain
Just how much my heart my life
My soul you've changed
Can you run to these open arms
When no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world
I'm your woman, and you're my man
Can't you just feel how much I love you
With one touch of my hand
Can I just spend my life with you
No touch has ever felt so wonderful
(You are incredible)
And a deeper love I've never known
(I'll never let you go)
I swear this love is true
(Now and forever to you to you)
Can I just see you every morning when
I open my eyes
Can I just feel your heart beating beside me
Every night
Can we just feel this way together
Till the end of all time
Can I just spend my life with you
Can you run to these open arms
When no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world
You're my woman, and you're my man
Can't you just feel how much I love you
With one touch of my hand
Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just spend my life with you
(Forever here with you)
Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just see you every morning when I
Open my eyes.
Once the song ended Ross led Rachel over to the table where Chandler, Monica, Phoebe, Mike and Joey sat. Monica smiled "You two looked so cute out there" she said "Did Chandler and I look that cute too" she asked. "Uh no you two looked gross doing all that kissing, you always look gross when you're kissing" Ross said. "Oh really" Monica smiled. She leaned in kissing Chandler softly. "Grossed out yet big brother" she joked. "Eww totally" he giggled. Rachel laughed. "I'm married Mon! I'm really married!" she exclaimed. "I know!" Monica giggled.
Music filled the room again. Ross smiled at his bride. "Mrs. Geller may I have this dance" he offered her his hand. Rachel grinned. "Why of course Mr. Geller" she took his hand and he led her back out to the dance floor. "Wanna dance Pheebs" Mike asked. "Hell yeah I'll dance with you Mike Hannigan" she giggled taking his hand and heading to the dance floor. Chandler was about to ask Monica to dance when Emma tugged on his arm. "Uncle Nandler dance!" she asked her eyes shining as she pointed to all the dancing people. "Aww I'd love to dance with you sweeite" he took her hand and took her to dance.
Monica smiled as she watched Chandler dancing with Emma. She was standing on his feet as they danced. Joey looked at Monica "So wanna dance with me" he asked with a wink. Monica smiled "Okay but no trying to unhook my bra or grabbing my ass" she giggled. He frowned "You're my bestfriend's wife I wouldn't do that" she laughed "Yes you would" he grinned "Yeah I would" he giggled leading her to the dance floor. Chandler looked over at them. "You better not try anything with my wife Tribbiani" he teased. Joey laughed. One song ended and another one began. Emma ran back over to her grandma Sandra.
Chandler smiled when he heard the familiar tune. He tapped Joey on the shoulder. "May I cut in" Joey grinned and moved out of the way. Chandler wrapped his arms around Monica. She sighed happily putting her arms around his neck and resting her head on his shoulder. "I love Joey and all but it just doesn't feel right unless I'm dancing with you" she whispered as they slowly danced to the music. "So this song sounds familiar" Chandler whispered. Monica lifted her head looked at him "It better "she said "Its the song we danced to the night we got engaged!" she said. Chandler chuckled softly. "I know" he whispered kissing her softly. Monica just smiled laying her head back on his shoulder. "I love you Chandler" she whispered as she danced on his arms listening to the familiar song as it played. "I love you too Mon" he whispered kissing the top of her head.
It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wearShe puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks meDo I look alrightAnd I say yes, you look wonderful tonightWe go a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
That's walking around with me
And then she asks me
Do you feel alrightAnd I say yes, I feel wonderful tonightI feel wonderfulBecause I see the love light in your eyesAnd the wonder of it allIs that you just don't realize
How much I love you
It's time to go home nowAnd I've got an aching headSo I give her the car keysShe helps me to bedAnd then I tell herAs I turn out the lightI say my darling, you were wonderful tonightOh my darling, you were wonderful tonightThe rest of the reception went off well. Ross and Rachel cut the cake but not soon enough for Joey. Rachel threw her bouquet and Joey of all people caught it. "You're the next one who's gonna get married" Phoebe giggled. Joey just grinned thinking about his hot but married neighbor Alex. Everyone followed Ross and Rachel out to their limo. The sign on the back read Just Married!!...Finally!!!. They both laughed.
They hugged their friends and were about to get in the limo when Ross pulled Rachel to him kissing her softly. Everyone awwed. They waved as they climbed in the limo. Chandler stood with his arm around Monica, Mike stood with his arm around Phoebe and Joey stood beside them. They all smiled watching the limo containing their friends drove out of sight. "See they're lobsters!" Phoebe giggled breaking the silence. They all laughed. "Well now that Ross and Rach are married you're the only single one of us now" Chandler stated as they started to walk away. "Got anyone in LA yet" he asked "There's this hot girl..." Joey started. Chandler laughed and shook his head. Some things would never change.
