Chapter 20: Closure
Nick and Jen weren’t able to work out their issues and after one too many fights, they went their separate ways, a week after the gala had been held. Needless to say, the others were surprised it had taken them a whole week before they finally ended it.

James and Michele had also parted ways after she explained everything to him. He was surprisingly understanding and since they hadn’t been going out for very long, the breakup wasn’t as difficult.

After the two breakups, Nick and Michele were finally together and they didn’t need to hide their love for each other anymore.

Kaitlyn was still seeing Ty exclusively and they were more in love than ever. The two of them quickly became Nick and Michele’s “couple friends”, in which they did everything together from double dating to coffee shop breaks to shopping.

Melissa and Howie were still going strong as well and they kept busy with helping to plan the upcoming wedding of their good friends. In the midst of the hype, they had discussed how they wanted their own wedding to be like. Melissa was excited that Howie was so open to talking about their future together.

At the other end of the spectrum, Kevin and Alexandra, who had vowed to each other that they wanted to get married one day, had a little of a falling out. They were still dating but because of some fights, they decided to be allowed to see other people as well. Alexandra knew that they just needed some time apart, and with dating other people, it may make them both realize how much they really cherished each other’s company.

A few months prior to the wedding, Brian and Orianne announced their own engagement. They had been discussing it for a long time and with planning the wedding, it brought out the passion to get married themselves. Orianne planned to have a smaller ceremony with Michele and Kaitlyn as her bridesmaids. Brian wanted a slightly larger wedding party because with only two bridesmaids, it forced him to pick only two of his four best friends.

Ten months after their engagement, A.J. and Jamie were married. Jamie had Alexandra, Orianne, Melissa and Jen as her bridesmaids while A.J. had the four guys as his groomsmen. The ceremony was beautiful and her dress had a long train flowing behind her.

Michele sat with Kaitlyn and Ty in the congregation and she admired Nick in his tuxedo on the altar. Nick found it awkward to be seeing Jen after all this time. They hadn’t seen a lot of each other since they broke up. To make it worse, because of all the couple pairings, he had to walk up and down the aisle with her. At least this time, Nick had no shadow of a doubt in his mind who he wanted to be with.

At the reception, Nick found himself excited when Michele caught Jamie’s bouquet of roses. She looked so adorable and happy as she clutched the flowers and jumped up and down with Kaitlyn, both girls squealing with excitement.

He danced with Michele once the dinner was over and he held her close, thinking about the trouble they had gone through all those months to keep the others from seeing them together in public when now they danced together, in the company of all their friends.
