A/N: I don't own Revenge of the Bridesmaids or "Speak Now" by Taylor Swift.

I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely barging in
On a white veil occasion
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl

Rachel knew that Tony had chosenCaitlyn over her. When everyone had thought there was a baby concerned, Rachel had resigned herself to them getting married. Now that she knew that the pregnancy was a lie, she didn't feel bad feeling this way.

I sneak in and see your friends
And her snotty little family
All dressed in pastel

Caitlyn's family was broke. Everyone at the wedding had their suspicions, but Olivia's eagerness for Caitlyn to marry Tony had sealed the deal. Most of the town knew that there was no way that Tony had gotten Caitlyn pregnant.

And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
Somewhere back inside a room
Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry

Rachel felt bad for Caitlyn's friend Bitsy. She still had to put up with Caitlyn's demeaning comments.

This is surely not
What you thought it would be
And I lose myself in a daydream
Where I stand and say

Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church at the back door

Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
When they said "speak now"

Rachel knew that there was no way Tony would be marrying Caitlyn if there wasn't a baby. She knew his heart wasn't in it.

Fond gestures are exchanged
And the organ starts to play
A song that sounds like a death march

And I am hiding in the curtains
It seems that I was uninvited
By your lovely bride-to-be

Caitlyn had every right to throw Rachel and her friends out of the wedding party. But to not be invited to the wedding was problematic for stopping it.

She floats down the aisle
Like a pageant queen.
But I know you wish it was me
You wish it was me, don't you?

Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church at the back door

Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
When they said "speak now"

"If anyone knows of any impediment why these two people should not be united in holy matrimony, before God and these witnesses, please speak now or forever hold your peace." the preacher said, hoping that someone would have the courage to interrupt this sham of a wedding.

Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church at the back door

Don't wait or say a single vow
Your time is running out
When they said, "speak now"

I hear the preacher say
"Speak now or forever ho-old your pea-ea-ea-eace
There's the silence, there's my last chance
I stand up with shaking hands, all eyes on me

"I do." Rachel said, confidently marching up the center aisle. She wasn't going to let Caitlyn play bride yet again while everyone stood by and watched.

"What is the impediment?"

"There are two. One is me. I still love you, Tony, and I'm so sorry that I ever made you think any differently." Rachel smiled through tears at him. Couldn't he see that he was it for her?

"And the other impediment?" the preacher asked.

"Caitlyn will have to own up to that one." Rachel said. "If she doesn't, I'll just have to tell everyone."

Panic settled onto Caitlyn's face. She tried to play it off, but couldn't. "Tony, I need to tell you something. There is no baby. I lied."

Horrified looks from
Everyone in the room
But I'm only looking at you.

I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely barging in
On a white veil occasion
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl!

The church erupted. Neighbors sharing opinions, older women nodding smugly at Olivia, everyone knowing that this was for the best.

So don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church at the back door

Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
When they, said, "speak, now"

And you say
Let's run away now
I'll meet you when
I'm out of my tux at the back door

Baby, I didn't say my vows
So glad you were around when they said
"Speak now"

Tony met her at the back door of the church. Wearing jeans and a tee shirt, he'd never looked better to Rachel. She leaned in and kissed him.

"I love you." she said.

"I love you, too." he took her hand and the two ran up the road to town, laughing and catching up with each other the whole way.
