"This reporter has arrived early for the wedding of the year! We are hoping to catch a glimpse of the bride arriving! Oh LOOK we're in luck. It appears the bridal party is arriving. Isn't that Maddie Chase? Yes it is! Ms. Chase you look stunning! We've heard that Tyler Wentworth created all three of the "special" dresses for today. Maddie stops for a moment and replies yes that Tyler was so generous in creating the gowns for this day. "We certainly miss having her with us but know that she is here in spirit. Tyler devoted so much of her time to the wedding that it pushed all of her other projects behind. She is such a dear friend! I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse me for a moment while I help Sydney."

"Oh my! What a vision! Miss Chase you look gorgeous! Just like a princess. The House of Wentworth outdid themselves with your gown! You make a beautiful bride. Sydney and Maddie stop and Sydney says, "Thank you so much! Picking just the right gown was a hard decision, but I loved this dress from the beginning. Tyler knew exactly the "look" I wanted for this special day. Now I'm so sorry that we don't have more time to talk, but I need to get in before the guests start arriving. I'm sure you understand." We tell the beautiful Chase sisters thank you for stopping and that we'll be looking forward to seeing "Mrs. Chase-Mckenna after the wedding. (Sydney smiles as she walks inside)

The guests are beginning to arrive for Sydney and Rafe's big day! Natasha, Devin and Sabrina have arrived together. This reporter will ask them a few questions...."Could we have a moment?? You are looking lovely ladies may we ask the designer of your dresses, we're sure that our readers will want to know." Devin replies that her dress was designed by Tyler and is called "Cover girl". She laughs and says that Tyler felt it suited her perfectly. "Ms. Ford may we ask about your dress? Natasha says that her cocktail dress was designed by La Petite Boutique....Anne Marie is such a wonderful person and I LOVE wearing her designs. Not to be left out, Sabrina says that her outfit was designed by Tyler. "Ms. Wentworth has been quite busy planning for this wedding! No wonder she was unable to attend! Thank you ladies for taking time to speak with us."

"Oh look, it's Neely and isn't that Drake Garrett escorting her??? Well, well...so this is her "old" friend. Neely..do you and Mr. Garrett have a moment? (Neely and Drake stop). Your gown is stunning!" Neely replies thank you and tells us that is was created by The House of Wentworth. "Well we'll say again...Tyler has been very busy planning and designing for this wedding. Neely says that she spoke with Tyler last evening and knows how much Tyler regrets being unable to attend. Drake jokingly comments, "Don't you want to know who designed my suit!" (we laugh) "May we ask how long you all have known one another?" Drake answers that he and Neely have known one another for about 10 years. "We met when Neely was just starting her career and we have been friends ever since. We miss not being able to see one another more often but with Neely working in Europe it's just not possible. I'm hoping that she will be a frequent visitor to New York while I'm working at the House of Wentworth. Now if you'll excuse us we should be going inside." Thank you for your time.

Look...it's the beautiful Leilani Waters arriving. Ms. Waters may we have a moment. Leilani stops and says hello. "Will you be singing at the wedding Ms. Waters?" Leilani replies, "No I'm here today simply to enjoy this beautiful day. Sydney and Rafe are such a wonderful couple and I'm thrilled to be in attendance." We ask, "Do you have any plans to return to modeling Ms. Waters?" Leilani replies that no at the moment she has put her modeling career on hold and is simply concentrating on her singing career. We thank Leilani for speaking with us and she walks off to speak to Devin, Natasha and Sabrina. Such a beautiful woman.

"Isn't that Kelly Ford (no relation to Natasha) attending the wedding? Let's see if we can speak with her. Miss Ford may we have a moment?" Kelly stops and says hello. "Miss Ford it's so nice to see you. How long has it been since you left Chase Modeling? Kelly answers that it has been 2 years and while she misses all of her friends she is enjoying not having to travel all the time. "May we ask about the designer of your gown?" Kelly replies, "It was designed by DAE...Brian and David are so creative. I've always enjoyed wearing their designs." We tell Ms. Ford that it is wonderful to see her again, she thanks us and heads off to speak with Drake and Neely. Oh, oh....here comes trouble!!!!!

Now isn't this interesting, we find it hard to believe that either of these two would have been invited to the wedding. Let's see if we can get them to stop for a moment. "Miss Wentworth! We have to say that we are a little surprised that you have been invited to attend AND that you have brought Cole Osborne. Would you care to comment? "I don' know why you are surprised, replies Coco. I'm here "representing" Tyler and the House of Wentworth. We felt it was important that someone should be here as a representitive of the family." "So you are saying that Tyler asked you to attend?" Coco replies, "Well in a round about way she did ask that I attend or was it that I send a gift? I can't remember...anyway I'm just happy to be here to witness this happy occasion." Well we have to ask about bringing Mr. Osborne...very interesting choice of escorts. "Cole and I are very good friends and I wouldn't have DREAMED of attending with anyone else. I'm sure that Sydney won't mind. (isn't that a smile we see on Coco's face...maybe it's our imaginaton) "Could we ask about your beautiful dress Coco. It is a stunning creation! Coco tells us that one of her FAVORITE designers, Joyce W. Designs, created the gown especially for her. "Did she really create that dress for YOU Miss Wentworth??? We were under the impression that this gown had been sent for Ms. Chase to wear when she leaves the wedding." Coco looks surprised and then replies, "Really???? Oh my goodness...it seems I have made a terrible mistake! I must have picked up the wrong bag. Well there's nothing I can do about it now (isn't that a smirk on Coco's face???) I suppose Sydney will just have to wear something else when she leaves for her honeymoon. Oh my I can't believe the mistake I've made!!! I'll have to apologize." Cole ushers Coco off, we say thank you.

Here we have Fontanna Chase arriving. Miss Chase running a little late!? Fontanna laughs and says that she's never on time for anything! She wishes she had time to talk but that she really needs to get inside! "Quickly could we ask about your dress? Fontanna (on the run) replies that it is a House of Wentworth creation and that she is thrilled with the color and design! "It suits me perfectly". We tell her thank you and that we'll be anxious to see everyone after the wedding! Stay tuned for more information on the wedding...we'll try to sneak in and take a few shots during the actual service. (Gowns by Anne Marie Burns, DAE, Joyce W. Designs. Drake, Devin, Natasha, Leilani and Kelly repainted by Laurie Leigh)

The guests are all seated (everyone is behaving themselves...thank goodness!) and the music starts. All eyes turn to look at the beautiful bride! Sydney looks like a princess! What a glorious day for a wedding.

The guests watch as Sydney and Rafe say their vows to one another. Promising to love and cherish one another all the days of their lives. To support one another through the good times and the hard times. To always be faithful and true to one another. Then the big moment arrives "Is there anyone here who knows of any reason these two should not be joined together?" Everyone holds their breath and looks toward Coco and Cole. Coco gives everyone a dirty look and shrugs her shoulders. Cole just pretends he doesn't know that they are looking at him. "Then let us continue, let no one ever come between you. Remember this wonderful day and let it live in your hearts forever". " Now by the power invested in me...I pronounce you husband and wife!

The crowd errupts with cheers as Rafe is asked if he would like to kiss his bride!!! Rafe looks at Sydney and say's "You bet I do". Yippeeee they made it through the wedding with no problems!!!

As Maddie and Fontanna watch, the couple is announced to all their friends. "May I now introduce you all to Mr and Mrs. Rafe McKenna!" The crowd errupts again in cheers for the couple. "Sydney and Rafe would like to invite all of you to join them at a reception following. Stay tuned!!!!!

Sydney and Rafe pose for photographs right after the wedding. This day has been perfect and they are looking forward to the reception. "Mr. and Mrs. McKenna...may we have a photo of you with Maddie and Fontanna?" Sydney smiles at the photographer and replies, "I believe that you are the first person to call me Mrs. McKenna. (she smiles again and Rafe squeezes her hand affectionately) "We would love to have you take a photo of all of us, replies Rafe. It's not everyday that a man can be surrounded by beautiful women." Sydney laughs.

Fontanna and Maddie join Rafe and Sydney for a photo. Maddie is so proud of both of her younger sisters. Sydney makes such a beautiful bride and Rafe certainly is her "Prince Charming". She is so thankful that they found one another. "Okay, everyone smile, says the photographer. "Thank you very much for taking the time for the picture. We'll see you at the reception".

Arriving at the reception Sydney and Rafe share a quiet moment before heading in with all of their family and friends. "Oh Rafe..this has just been a glorious day." Rafe agrees and tells Sydney that she took his breath away when he saw her walking down the aisle toward him. "You are just a vision and I consider myself a very lucky man". They share a quick embrace and then go to greet their friends.

Now isn't this a surprise. Cole is actually walking up to congratulate Rafe and Sydney on their marriage. He apoligizes for all the problems that he has caused and hopes that there are no hard feelings. He wishes them both much happiness. Rafe tells Cole thank you and that they both appreciate him attending the wedding.

Coco has the NERVE to walk up and congratulate Sydney and Rafe. "Coco you have done some pretty dirty things since I've known you, but this has got to be the worst! You intentionally took the bag that contained my gorgeous going away dress. How could you? Joyce designed it especially for me! Do you have anything to say for yourself?" Coco turns away and is actually embarassed by her actions. She tells Sydney that she is very sorry and asks her to please forgive her. "I swear I don't know what came over me. The bag was just there and was screaming for me to pick it up and take it home. I'm really very sorry Sydney. Is there any way that I can make this up to you?, asks Coco. Sydney tells her that she really doesn't want to discuss it right now. That this just isn't the time or the place. "But I do think that Devin and Maddie are both going to want to speak with you. If I were you I would be prepared for just about anything Coco. Now if you will excuse us....

Devin walks up and see's Coco and Cole. She is disgusted with both of them. Devin looks at Cole and asks, "Did you know that Coco had planned to take Sydney's dress? If you did you are just as bad as Coco. I can't believe that either of you could be so brazen as to show up at the wedding. Coco you should be ashamed of yourself and Cole if you had anything to do with this you should be ashamed also. I've told Maddie that I've had it with you Coco and will not work with you any longer. I'll expect to see you in my office first thing Monday morning. We'll discuss your future plans at that time. Devin walks off shaking her head.

"Maddie I've had it with Coco. I will not work with her any longer, this stunt is the last straw." Maddie agrees with Devin and tells her that she has already placed a call to Tyler and told her that Coco will be leaving for Paris on Tuesday. "Tyler was so upset and disappointed when she learned what Coco did. Devin replies, "This will leave us needing a new model. Do you think Neely could stay in town for a few weeks? Maddie tells Devin that Neely is due on location in Italy and won't be available. Devin thinks for a moment and then says, "Do you think there is any way that we can persuade Fontanna to temporarily model for us? Maddie shakes her head and says, "We can try to convince her. I just don't know if she will agree. We'll speak with her later." Devin agrees and then turns and says, "hmm now there is an interesting two some. Isn't that Neely and Coco having a "chat"? Maddie sighs and says yes and that she hopes they don't have any more surprises today. Stay tuned.....sure do wonder what Coco and Neely have to say to one another. (Coco's dress by Joyce W. Designs. Rafe, Cole and Devin repainted by Laurie Leigh)

Coco finds Cole at the reception table getting himself a drink. Coco starts telling Cole all of her problems with Devin and the fact that she is going to be sent away. Cole just looks at Coco. He has had it with her. Cole tells Coco, "What did you expect Coco. Did you really think that Sydney was going to just say that it was okay that you took the dress that Joyce made specifically for her? You knew that something like this would happen but you chose to take that chance. It's time that you learned that there are consequences for your actions. I don't think you have ever learned that. Well you are about to get a hard lesson in consequences." Coco is shocked! She can't believe that her "partner in crime" is speaking to her this way! Cole just turns away from Coco and walks off leaving her standing there all alone.

Drake see's Devin and can tell that she is upset. He walks over to have a word with her. "Hello Devin," says Drake, "I believe I have failed to tell you how beautiful you look today. I saw you having a discussion with Coco. I understand that she "accidently" took a dress bag that belonged to Sydney. Such a shame that a beautiful woman like Coco has to resort to such shameless tactics. Tyler must be extremely upset by her actions. What an embarassment for the House of Wentworth and Chase Modeling." Devin replies to Drake, "Yes it is a shame. I knew that Coco had caused problems but I was hoping that things had calmed down. I just don't know what get's into her. Maddie and I have agreed that it would be best for her to go to Paris and work with Tyler. She is the only one that seems to have any "control" over Coco. It's left us in a terrible bind though. We need a model and we need her fast! I'm hoping that Maddie can persuade Fontanna to model for us temporarily. This has to concern you also Drake. You are the "money man" at the company right now. Drake tells Devin that he has great confidence in her ability to handle this crisis , that he will stick to the corporate part of the business and let Devin do her job and deal with the fashion part of the company. He also knows that Maddie won't let the company down. That they have had a fantastic working relationship and he doesn't see that changing."

Drake asks, "What about Neely?Have you talked to her about staying on?" Devin tells Drake that was her first thought but that Neely is due in Italy. " As Drake and Devin continue talking Neely notices the conversation going on between the two. (hmmm, I thought that Neely and Drake were only "long time" friends. She doesn't look happy that Drake is providing a shoulder for Devin to cry on) Neely walks up and says hello to Devin, who replies that they were just talking about her. Neely replies, "oh really, I certainly hope it was all good." (she links her arm possively with Drakes - hmm, interesting) Devin continues, "We were just discussing that Coco will be heading to Paris and we will be in need of a model temporarily. Drake suggested you but I was telling him that you are heading to Italy." Neely says that she wishes she were available. That she would love to spend some time in New York. The three walk off and continue to talk. They turn and look when someone announces that the bride and groom are preparing to cut the cake.

We just have to say again...what a gorgeous couple. Fontanna jokes and asks WHEN they are going to cut the cake!? Sydney smiles and tells her to be patient, she laughs and whispers to Rafe that Fontanna has ALWAYS loved wedding cakes. The couple cut the cake and then someone suggests to Rafe "Kiss her"!

Rafe replies "Happily!The photographer captures this moment for the couple. Sydney has asked the photographer to take as many candid photos as he can. Weddings tend to go by in such a "blur" that you don't always remember all the little details of the day. She wants pictures of all of her friends and lots of photos for their album.

The day has been long but wonderful. Just the way that Sydney always dreamed her wedding day would be. She slips her arms around Rafe and rests her head on his shoulder. He asks her if she would like to stay or change and prepare to leave. Hmmm, I wonder what Sydney will choose??? Stay or leave? To be continued........(Coco's dress by Joyce W. Designs.
