This is the Epilogue …thanks for all the nice things you have said. I hate to bring an end to this story too, but it has gone its course. Everyone is together, and Mondler is happy and so is R and R. To the person who asked. I am one of the co founders of Everlasting Love , which is a fan club on Friends Board , where you can share your love for Friends.

"You may now kiss the bride." Joey said as Ross leaned over. His lips first brushed hers, then the two closed their eyes and began to ignore the gathering. They had come this far and the journey had ended here. The kiss was interrupted by a cry. Little Emma Green Geller voiced her opinion as her Aunt Monica, held her in her arms. Rachel then grabbed her and held her in her arms.

"Emma,it's okay. Mommy's here. Mommy and Daddy are married now." Rachel bounced her daughter in her arms. Ross leaned down and then kissed his daughter on the forehead. Then he smiled and gently kissed Rachel again. He looked at this perfect creature. Then he kissed Rachel again.

"Ross. Not now." Rachel gently reminded him. "Oh you just wait, Mrs. Geller. When I get you alone later, " he started to say wicked. Monica started to wave him away. "Eww I don't need to hear about my brother's sex stuff." Chandler took her hand and then he kissed Monica and smiled. "No , because we are going to have our own kind of fun later." Monica looked down at the ring on her finger, she was next.

Phoebe took Joey aside. "You know, first Ross and Rachel , then Chandler and Monica, do you think maybe we should?" she suggested with an evil look. Joey looked at her and then kissed her on the nose. "You're the best , Pheebs." Across the room was a group of girls from Ralph Lauren with drinks in their hands. He straightened his tie and then he started for the gathering. Phoebe just shook her head and then took a sip from her drink. Putting her head down, she started to walk away from the bar. Not noticing where she was going, she bumped into a guy .

"Oh I am sorry." Phoebe apologized. The guy smiled at her. "That's alright , my fault." Phoebe looked up at him and noticed there was a certain sparkle in his eye. Something just made her not want to stop looking at him. "Okay." She agreed with a smile . Somehow , her honesty and the way she presented herself enchanted him. This guy had to get to know her. There was like a magic around her. "I 'm Mike , Mike Hannigan." He said putting out his hand. Usually she would give the pseudonym Regina Philangie, but today there was something different about this guy. "Phoebe, Phoebe Buffay." She was ready for something special and magical to happen. She was tired of the walls she had built around her.

The music played as Ross and Rachel slowly moved to the music and everyone watched them.

We strolled through fields all wet with rain
And back along the lane again
There in the sunshine
In the sweet summertime
The way that young lovers do

I kissed you on the lips once more
And we said goodbye just adoring the nighttime
Yeah, thats the right time
To feel the way that young lovers do

Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that we were
And the way that we were meant to be
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you
And you were for me
And then we danced the night away
And turned to each other, say, i love you, I love you
The way that young lovers do

Then we sat on our star and dreamed of the way that we were and the way
That we wanted to be
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you
And you were for me
I went on to dance the night away
And turned to each other, say, i love you, baby, I love you
The way that young lovers

They held each other tightly. She let her head drop on his shoulder and then she could just stare into those eyes. His loving hands cupped her soft hair as he moved it close to his nose. He wanted to smell her, breathe because of her , hold her and never have to let go. He couldn't believe she was actually his. The thousand lifetimes had passed and it was now forever. All too soon, the music had ended.

"If you will excuse me, there is another woman I need to see." Ross said as he ran to where Monica was holding Emma. Then Rachel had another man tap her on the shoulder.

"May I have this dance, Mrs. Geller?" Chandler smiled and then Rachel gave him a peck on the cheek. "After all, we are going to be in laws soon." The two friends moved to the dance floor and began to dance.

"I just want to say that I am so glad that you two are finally together. I knew that you belonged together, and it about fucking time that you two realized it." Chandler said grinning. Rachel playfully hit him. "I think this is going to be the last time Ross gets married. " she said sweetly.

All too soon, it was time for the couple to leave. Monica knew she was next , so Rachel let the bouquet sail toward Phoebe. When she caught it, she looked flirtingly over at her new friend. "Wanna get out of here?" she said brazenly. "Uh huh." Mike said, taking her hand as they ran out of the door.

The sun felt good on her shoulders as she looked into the deep blue sea. They had decided on a cruise for a honeymoon. The breeze blew her honey colored hair as she waited for him.

"A margarita for the lady." Ross smiled as he handed her a drink. She accepted it gracefully. "You know, I have always wanted to go on one of these things." Ross admitted. "Really?" Rachel smiled.

"Yeah, ever since I ended up stuck at home on Saturday nights watching the Love Boat." Ross sort of felt ashamed of this admission.

" You know, I never saw that show." Rachel said to him. "Of course, you didn't , you had dates on Saturday nights." He said shyly. "It was a great show about two people who were destined to be together. They would go on this boat and then they would either hate each other or fall in love with each other automatically."

"That sounds like us." Rachel giggled.

"Then they would go through this complicated relationship in the span of one hour. And they would usually end up living happily ever after." Ross continued.

"Do you think that will be us?" Rachel wondered.

"Only time will tell." Ross answered. He put down his glass and then he took in his arms the only thing he would ever need. He truly had everything that he had wanted ever. The woman of his dreams was his.
