kav

And A happy new year

Finally caught up: Jack not going home for Christmas; Sue going home with her mother believing she has a boyfriend; Jack on the same train was Sue; Jack going with Sue to her home and being a faux petit ami; Jack proposing (which totally skips all the dating); and meeting the family. Woah! I have missed a lot...

hey all thanks for the encouraging words and im glad you like this story! here is the next installment and i hope to wrap up the story shortly but i dont even know where i am going with it as of right.....now....so please be patient as i try to do this in the next 2 days! thanks!

The whole family came in and they all wanted to relax and spend some time with each other and get to know Jack especially.

"I know I for one have a question." Carrie piped up, "When is the wedding going to be?"

"Well, we havent really gotten that far. I don't know, in a few months or more." Sue said

"Or less!" Jack said as Sue turned to face him.

"Jack it takes a long time to plan a wedding."

"Yes, but well, we'll talk about it later."

"Well why wait a couple of months Sue? I mean it does take a long time, but I mean, we have all weekend..." carrie said to them.

"Carrie...are you seriously suggesting we spend christmas weekend planning a wedding and we get married this weekend?!"

"Why not? You have all of us here to help you, and we all are married so it wouldn't take that much time?" Kristy said.

"Well I dunno. Jack?"

"Honey, the sooner the better!"

"Jack?!?!"Sue said as her face turned bright red.

"Well, think about it tonight because i know i have all weekend free." Jodi suggested.

"Ok, I will."

At the end of the night, Steve and Andy and their families went back to their houses which were not far from their childhood home.

Everyone else went to bed and Jack and Sue stayed out in the living room to chat some more.

"Honey? Do you really wanna do this? I mean i don't wanna rush you and if you wanna plan out an extravegant wedding and everything, we can wait. Just not too long!"

"Jack, I mean, its a really good idea but for real, are we ready for this, and do you really think we can pull it off?"

"We have you're sister-in-laws and your mother, and we could get my mom and sister to come down if we want, have one big family get together."

"Really Jack, Do you really think we can do this, will they really come down?"

"I don't see why not."

"OKay, but Jack, you didn't answer my first question, are you sure we;re not rushing into this. I mean Jack, we werent even dating 6 hours ago and now we're engaged."

"Sweetheart, I love you more than life can comprehend and I am ready for this 1000% because i wanna spend the rest of my life with you. Now it's up to you..."

"Jack, you know I love you, but what if we get married and then a couple of years or even a couple of months down the road it doesnt work anymore?"

"Sue, what if it does work and we are the happiest people on the face of the earth?"

"I guess you have a point...Let's do this. I know that i am ready. I love you!"

"I love you so much!"

Good luck pulling this off I know you can do it Jill!

"I'm going to call my sister." Jack said.

"Jack, its 12:30 at night!"

"which means its only 10:30 in montana!"

"Okay then." Sue laughed.

"Jen? It's me. What are you doing?"

"Well i was sleeping. Whats going on?"

"I need everyone to fly to cincinatti airport first thing in the morning. I'll order your tickets tongiht, all you have to do is beat the air port tomorrow by 3 am."

"Jack! What are you talking about? All of us? Cincinattit? At 3 am? Why?"

"Because, we have a wedding to plan, and we need help to get it done in 2 days."

"Jack?! what do you mean?"

"I'm getting married on Christmas day! and I want everyone here. Its just gonna be my family and Sue's but thats all i need."
"For real, you're getting married christmas day, and telling me this right now?!"

"Yes. Pack everyone up, Mom, Dad, You, Matt, and the kids, and Ben." Be at the airport at 3 am, because im going to get you on the 5:30 flight to cincinatti and well pick you up there."

"Jack, 3am? Thats in 4 1/2 hours."

"Wake everyone up and start packing!"

"Jack this is crazy, How can you really expect them to do that."

"because they're my family and i know they can. Lets get to bed we have to be to the airport in 10 hours!"

"OK then! goodnight."

"I love you baby girl!"

"I love you too!"

Jack pulled out his laptop and typed in a few key strokes.

He purchased 7 tickets and then decided he needed to purchase 4 more.

After he purchased all the tickets he made a couple of calls, even though it would have been 2am where they were.

****
The next day sue awoke at 8am to get ready for the day. As she was brushing her hair She felt a breeze come from the door. She turned around to look into a pair of brown eyes.

"Good morning."

"Lucy, how did you get here?!"

"Jack called us last night to tell us to pack our bags. He booked a flight for us and came to pick us up this morning."

"Us?" Then she saw a few more heads poke in.

"Tara? Bobby, Myles? All of you are here?! Oh my goodness! Thank you all for coming!"

"We wouldnt miss this day for the world, sheila." The Aussie said.

"Our two favorite love birds finally getting together." The little blonde head poking in at the bottom replied.

"That in itself is a miracle." the tallest one of them all mentioned.

"Oh you guys. thank you so much for being here with us for this weekend, but weren't you all with family."

"Yes, but it isn't everyday that our favorite couple gets married, so we decided to show up anyhow." Bobby said as everyone else laughed.

"Are you happy or what?"

"OH, yes baby, I am so happy. Thank you thank you thank you for doing this for me!"

"well i did it for me too, I couldn't get married without my best man being here."

"I love you so much!" She said as she wrapped her arms around his neck to kiss him.

"Come on now, you two, we have a wedding to plan." Kristy yelled from behind the crowd.

Sorry this is all i have for now, i think, you guys, thanks again for everything. The last installments will be up soon, i do believe.

This would be me if Jack woke me up to fly me out to Ohio! I know this is a stupid question you probably don't have answer to but where in Montana? I am from that state...I can think of a few airports off the top of my head if you need help... just PM me.

wow, talk about quick, what about d and the family?

cath

Nothing like family and friends gathering for an impromtu wedding. They were probably so relieved to see this happening they didn't ask any questions!

kav

caught up again on 2 fabulous post
and theres nothing better than getting help from family and friends
cant wait for the wedding more soon please Lin

Hey all, um to make some things clearer for ya, i didn't have d and his family show up because in the begining i mentioned that they were having christmas at their house, i do believe, and so i didnt want to make them drop everything to fly out there and it would have just added more chaos to have 4 extra people, lol, well thanks for all the support and questions.

That's fine..it makes sense to me!

"Ok so here's the plan. The girls and I will go pick out dresses and and you and the guys will pick up your family and the tuxes. Ok?"

"Ok, but do I really have to spend the whole day without you?" Jack replied to his fiance with puppy eyes.

"Jack, it's one day without me, i mean just think, we have the rest of our lives to spend everyday together, doing whatever...you...want...deal?" Sue said as she wriggled her eyebrow.

"Ha, yes I know, and we will spend everyday together...alone...all alone." Jack said as he kissed her and pulled the keys out of his pocket. "I'll be back here at around 12 oclock. You, I, and my family will go out for lunch and you can get to know them okay?"

"Yeah..."

"What do you mean yeah? are you nervous?"

"Yeah..."

"Honey, they're gonna love you."

"How do you know that?"

"Because I love you, and that means my family will too. Okay, now we must get going. I'll see you in a few hours."

"okay, have fun, I love you."

"Now lets get going girl, we have to look our best on monday and its going to take a while to find dresses." Lucy said to her.

"I know, lets go. I'm actually a tad excited because I get to get all dressed up. Kinda like dress up, but for my husband...my husband...hmmm...i like that sound, my husband."

"girl, you got the rest of your life to daydream lets go shopping!" Kristy said as everyone else laughed.

The girls went to the first store and Lucy and Tara both found dresses that were matching as they were the bridesmaids. They were deep red with a gold sash that went across the middle of the bodice. They came just about mid calf and and had a gorgeous sweatheart neckline.

The next store is where Sue found her dress. It was perfect. Not a wedding dress but the next best thing to it. It was a champagne color floor length dress with a red satin tie creating an empire waist. the top was boatneck cut with long sleves.

Hey all, thanks so much for understanding everything and for supporting me as i near the end of this story. I hope to finish this either later tonight or tomorrow night! thanks again!

I like the way the dresses sound!

that was terrific loved the dresses
they sound great cant wait for the wedding or sue meeting her

~laura michelle~

Love the whole Christmas wedding rush -- gives new meaning to holiday stress!
kav

That dress sounds beautiful!!!

Em

Jack and the guys went to pick up the tuxes first of all. They picked the first one out that they saw because they thought it was perfect. They decded on buying suits instead of renting tuxes. They weren't sure what they should get so they called the girls to see a color. They decided on black suits and black shirts with red ties to draw in the colors of the girls dresses.

After they got the suits they went to the airport to pick up the Hudson family.

"Can you guys do me a favor? Can you go rent a SUV or minivan or something so we can get everyone home. Make sure its something nice, I don't want just a plain old minivan for them to comehome in."

"Sure thing mate. We'll meet you out where you parked."

"Thats Crash, Myles. I appreciate it."

The two men left while Jack waited for his parents.

"Hey Bobby? can you handle getting the car by yourself? I have something i need to do real quick before we leave. I'll meet you at the rental place?" Myles said.

"Okay, I guess i can handle it, but don't take too long, i dont want to have to wait for you."

"Okay, i'll be there in like 10 okay."

"Okay."

Myles went off in a hurry in another direction while bobby went to go get the car.

"Hello Mate. I need the nicest suv that you have that holds quite a few people."

"Well we have a Lexis SUV that holds 8 people? It's the only one we have and its brand new. You'll be the first driver."

"Hmmm. well, I'll take it. It sounds like it will be just perfect. thank you."

Bobby filled out all of the paperwork and got the keys just as Myles arrived.

"You all set?"

"Yes, are you?"

"Yep, our lexis is awaiting us."

"Lexis? Wow Bobby."

"It was the best deal. Holds the right amount of people, and it is brand new mate."

"well then, that sounds like a good deal to me.'

"Alright lets go, Jack and family should be ready soon."

The two of them left to go to the parkinglot that Jack would be waiting for them in. When they arrived, they Hudson clan was all walking out into the parking lot. Bobby honked the horn to show them where they were waiting.

"Bobby, Holy cow, how much did this cost you? It's so nice and so new."

"We're the first drivers mate, so hop in and well take the other car back so you can hang out with your family."

"Okay, I'll meet you guys back at the house."

When Jack arrived. The girls were all just getting out of the car and grabbing their bags to head in.

"Jack's back. Luce, take my dress in the house quick and hide it in my room."

Sue went over to the car as Jack was getting out.

"Hi baby girl. I missed you."

"Jack it's only been 3 hours."

"Yes but 3 hours apart from you is way too much." Jack said as he leaned in to kiss her. "well, are you ready to meet your inlaws."

"Um, yes."

"You'll do fine I promise, They'll love you, I promise."

"I know you do."

"Mom, dad, everyone, I'd like you to meet my fiance, Susan Thomas."

"Hello dear. It's so nice to finally meet you." Jacks mother Diane said as she went to Sue and hugged her.

"Hi Sue, I'm Sam. Jacks father. It's nice to meet you."

"Honey, this is my sister Jen and her husband Matt and their kids Keily who is 6 and Evan is 3, as well as my brother Ben."

"It's so nice to meet all of you. Thank you for coming, all of you. Jack and really apreciate it. Lets get you all inside, and I'll show you your rooms."

"Oh honey, we were going to stay at a hotel. we don't want to impose on you." Diane said.

"Nonsense. you're my family now, and you are welcome to stay here with us."

"Thank you."

"Ok so Mr. and Mrs. Hudson, you'll be in this room."

"Please honey, call us Diane and Sam."

"Sorry, Diane and Sam."

"Jen and Matt, you will be in this room with Evan. And Keily can stay with you or on the extra mattress in my room."

"And Ben, you and I will be on the couches in the living room."

"Sue? We're going to stay at Andy and Carries. As they do have extra rooms. That way, you all can stay here comfortably."

"Kristy, Mike, you guys don't have to do that, we'll be fine."

"No, really it's not a problem."

"Okay, thanks you guys."

"Well that means that Evan and Keily can take their room."



Hey all, I am nearly finished with this story, as it does need to be done today. So I will post the rest of it later.

cath

Nice welcome by Jack's parents....


~laura michelle~

Jill, this is a great story!! I'm sure the Thomas' and the Hudsons, as well as the team, can get this wedding together in time!!!

Joy

That is going to be one full house....

they sure have A house full at least they will be able to get too know
sue and sue will get to know them that was fantastic more soon please pretty please Lin

Hey all, thanks so much for all of the encouragement. I hope that you all enjoyed this. I am considering writing a sequal, but i'm not sure if you all want one or anything, so if you would like me to write one, please let me know! Thanks

The Hudson's and Sue went out to lunch to get to know eachother as They were meeting for the first time and in less than 2 days, Jack and Sue were set to be married.

"Honey, the kids are tired from the trip so i think that ill stay home with them." Matt said to his wife.

"Oh, no I'll be here anyways so you all go and I can watch them for you. You have a lot to know about Sue and only 2 days to get to know her." Mike volunteered.

"Are you sure, Evan can be quite a handful especially when he's tired."

"Yeah its totally fine, nothing can be as bad as my Jeremiah when he's wide awake."

"Ok, well thank you."

"You can call my blackberry if you guys need anything okay? thanks again Mike." Sue said.

They all went out to eat at the diner in town to get to know each other better.

"So Sue, tell us a little about how you and Jack met."

"Well, Jack and I are partners, so thats how we met i guess."

"Oh, thats it, come on ther has to be a more interesting story than that."

"Well there is, sort of. Jack?!"

"You want me to tell the story?"|

"Well I mean, you're so much better at it than i am."

"Okay, well here's the story..."

Jack told his family all about their first day that they met. How Sue waltzed into his office and demanded to be transfered because she thought it was personnel. Also how later that day they ate lunch together and Jack tested her lip reading ability by having her read Myles' lips from inside the caffeteria.

"It's not that interesting but it's the real story."

"What do you mean not interesting? It's cute because it's unique to you guys." Jen said.

"I guess it is. I'm probably the only person to yell at an agent on their first day."

"Hmm, yes, i do believe you are. But it's quite alright because it was that day that I fell in love with you."

"Yes, and it only took you 4 1/2 years to figure that out."

"Ha, yes, remind me why dontcha." Jack said with a pained look on his face.

"Whatever." Sue said with a laugh as she kissed him "All better?"

"Mmmm, I guess it'll have to do for now."

"Jackson, you are sick." Jen said about their dispute.

After everyone finished eating and talking they all went back to the house.

More wedding plans needed to be finalized.

For the rest of the day all the girls planned out what they wanted to get for a cake. Sue wanted just something simple because it was just the family and the closest friends that were there. Carla and Diane sat and planned out what they were going to cook for the reception dinner. the two Mothers were really starting to enjoy each others company and got to know eachother very well.

The next day they all went to brunch together at a restaurant in town so the families could all just have a realxing day as it was christmas eve.

That afternoon, the girls all went to the flower shop to get a boquet for Sue. They were going to do flowers but because it was christmas eve the floral shop wouldn't be able to make enough boquets and bouteniers for everyone. The flowers that Sue picked out were red roses with babies breath as an accent and some greens that were a different kind of pine tree that werent so smelly and pokey.

"Oh, you guys, I am just so excited for tomorrow." Sue said to Lucy and Tara as they were enjoying a cup of hot cocoa.

"I know, It's so exciting. I can't wait for it to be my turn. hopefully the day for Bobby and I will come."

"Bobby and you...Tara, are you two an item?" lucy asked her.

"Well sort of. we haven't really made it official, but we've gone out a few times and...I really love him you guys. He is so perfect, and we like complete each other. No matter how cheesy that really sounds."

"Tara that's so cute." Sue said to her.

"Oh Sue, I forgot, Tara and I have a present for you."

Lucy pulled out a bag of stuff from her bag.

"What is it?"

"Open it!" They both said in unison.

There was a pair of shoes, a garter, some jewelry, and a blue hankie in it.

"Thank you so much you guys. I love it."

"Now you have shoes and a garter that are new, the jewelry is old as it was my grandmothers and the hankie is blue and borrowed. Tara's grandmother gave it to her when she was a little girl for her christening."

"You guys are amazing. This is just so awesome. I really apreciate it! You guys, Oh my gosh! I'm getting married tomorrow morning! It's so weird, that i am getting married, to Jack!"

"I know, its just so funny that this finally happened after we have been waiting for almost 5 years!" tara said.

"Let's go out and celebrate. It's your last free night girl, lets make the most of it!" Lucy said.

"I know that the guys went to the bar, so lets crash them there."

"Oh yes, lets!"

The 3 girls are ran down the stairs only to run into Sue's parents and inlaws in the living room.

"Where are you 3 heading at 930 at night?" John Thomas asked.

"We're going out. For a make shift bachelorette party for Sue. We'll be back later!"

"Ok, have fun and be safe girls."

"Jack, do you and Sue know where you're going for your honeymoon yet?' Myles asked him.

"We haven't really talked about. I mean i guess we'll probably just stay here at her parents for the rest of the week like we were planning."

"Well thats not a very good honeymoon. Hmm lets see here." Myles said as he reached into his jacket pocket. "This oughta fix that. Consider this your wedding present"

"Myles. You got us a honeymoon? Thanks Myles. I apreciate it so much."

"wow Myles, you're sending them to the Bahamas?"

"Yes only the best for my friends."

"Thank you soo much myles. Sue and I are truly thankful. When we're enjoying our hotel room, we'll be thinking of you."

"Um, i'm not sure you will be, but thankyou for that thought." Myles said as He and Bobby started laughing.

"Well I suppose you're right."

They all went out to the bar and and met up with the guys and had a few drinks and just had a good time.

They all came back around 1am and Jack and Sue were both a tad bit tipsy.

As they walked up the driveway in eachothers arms Sue said "Jack. Did i tell you how hot you are and how amazing you are and how much i love you and how hot you are?"

"Not today baby girl. But you can tell me all you want."

He leaned in to kiss her as they paused by the cars.

"I love you!" Jack pushed both of them against the car and they started kissing. Things were almost out of hand when Ben came out the front door and whistled at them.

"Would you two get a room already?!" He yelled to them from the house.

They made their way inside and he walked Sue up to her room and said goodnight as she went inside to go to sleep.

He then walked back downstairs to the couch and pulled his shirt off to go to sleep.

-----
"Sue come on, i need to do your hair."

"I know Luce, but i just want my makeup to look perfect."

"Honey, you look great. It's all gonna come off anyways when you start crying."

"I know. Okay, I'm ready"

Lucy worked on Sue's hair as they chatted and made sure it looked perfect.

"Oh Sue. You look amazing."

"Thank you, Lucy, Tara, for everything."

"Girls are you about ready? We want to begin shortly the minister just arrived." Diane said from the door way.

"We'll be down soon." Lucy said.

"Okay, lets get your veil and garter on and we'll be set."

"You ready?" Tara said to Sue as soon as she had her veil on.

"As I'll ever be. I'm so excited, but I'm so nervous at the same time."

"Honey, don't be nervous. You are marrying the love of your life and it can't get any better than that."

"I know, thanks you guys for everything. Now are you ready to get out there to walk down that aisle ahead of me?"

"Oh yes. Lets get going girl. Diane can you go tell them we're all set."

Tara and Lucy met Bobby and Myles in the hall way to walk down the hallway.

Jack saw them come down the hall and got all the more excited that his wife to be would be coming down those stairs any minute.

"Daddy. Thank you so much for everything." Sue said as he father walked into her bedroom and hugged his only daughter.

"You are so welcom sweetheart. I just can't believe my little girl is getting married. I am so proud of you honey."

He heard the music to cue them on their time and they started down the hallway to the stairs.

As the neared the front Jack signed to her, YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

Sue signed back I LOVE YOU TOO.

The minister said "Who gives this women to this man?"

"Her mother and I do."

"Lets begin."

"Do you Susan take Jackson to be your husband. To have and to hold for richer or poorer, For better or for worse in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

"Jackson, do you take Sue to be your wife. To have and to hold, for richer or poorer For better or for worse, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?

"I certainly do!"

"May I be the first to announce to you, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson Hudson. You may kiss your bride."

Everyone broke out into a cheer as the couple kissed under the mistletoe that they were married under.

THE END[color=#009900]
