*Butterflies* Chapter 70

HAPPILY EVER AFTERWARDS?


“I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride…”

CC: Will you two go on your honeymoon already? I’ve seen more spit-swapping between those two to last a lifetime.
As I thought to myself the joy of witnessing two people who love one another more than life itself value the sacrament of marriage is such a beautiful thing. - Yeah, I do know about this stuff; at least a little bit. But who cares about me, this is Lauren and Michael Baldwin’s day of celebration. - They are gonna makes the cutes babies, don’t you think?

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, here comes that cheesy wedding music again. The ceremony almost didn’t happen because of a certain someone namely the minister; who had a small mishap that would have sent Gloria and her wedding planning days into early retirement. The Rev. Winston Palmer who has been serving the priesthood for over 36 years, from baptisms to christenings to exorcising. You name it; he’s done practically all of it. You would think he would be used to taking precautions when performing at these kind of particular occasions before stopping by Mario’s Burrito Shack over on 45th and Elm and ordering something like the ‘Super Burrito Grande’ that would later interrupt the ceremony’s tight schedule; according to Gloria. It wasn’t until about 20 minutes after he arrived at the church that he made a mad dash to the little boys’ room. I know cause we almost collided while he was making a beeline to the can. He held up the ceremony for an extra 25 minutes. But don’t worry, Gloria will have her way with him after this is all over and done with. Oh, and if you’re wondering about Lauren and her ((clears throat)) situation from earlier, that’s been taken care of. I know because I was the lucky candidate to be chosen to drive down to the store and get her the Midol. She’s at least sedated the Post Mother-In-Law Stress for a good 8 hours before she lets loose again. When Rev. Palmer was finally ready to presume with the wedding ceremony, everything else just fell into place so nicely. I can’t believe I’m saying this but despite the little mishaps along the way, Gloria really went all out for Lauren and Michael’s wedding. If you’ve ever read about those high profile celebrity weddings in the magazines, I think they’re right up there in the same category. It turned out way better than anyone ever expected. Little Abby was just the prettiest thing ever. So pretty she stopped throwing the flower petals right in the middle of the aisle and started posing for the cameras guests were snapping of her. Luckily my dad was right there to direct her in the right direction. And little Kyle, what can I say about him. Other than he so rocked being the ring bearer. He looked so handsome in his little tux. He felt so proud holding that ring like he was it’s body guard - Kevin Costner look out… And of course, the bride and groom just looked as perfect as husband and wife could be, Michael gave a surprising vow speech to Lauren. With his romantic and endearing words, he brought both Lauren and nearly half the church to tears. While standing at the front along side the other 7 bride’s maids, I kept looking at Lauren and Michael and then looking back at JT sitting in the audience and just thinking about how this could be us in a few years. I tried not to think about it much, but I couldn’t help it. We kept giving each other glances back and forth, like ‘I know what you’re thinking’ - kind of looks. If he only knew what I was really thinking…((*wink*)) Anyway on to the reception party, it’s set up on the Abbott grounds. It’s around 5 in the evening and the real fun hasn’t even started yet. Candles and torches and lanterns are lit surrounding the back yard. Some of the younger kids have slipped out of their best-dressed and put on a bathing suit to play around in granddad’s big 45 ft heated-pool. To be honest with you, I’m just tuckered out from the whole day. The wedding is over and I’m ready to relax and have a little bit of fun too. But things don’t always go as planned.

Daniel: I didn’t realize you and Sierra were so serious.
Stephen: I didn’t either. Like we’ve only known each other a few weeks and then bam, this happens. She’s totally different from the other chicks I’ve dated.
JT: Sierra is a cool girl, so I hope nothing strange happened between the two of you afterwards.
Stephen: Oh no, I can assure you. Everything is cool. No regrets or anything.
Daniel: Are you sure about that? Cause girls can be real tricky with sending mixed signals.
Stephen: No, she’s totally amazing. She kind of caught me by surprise. - You’d have never thought huh?
JT: Well, alright Stephen! ((pats him on the back)) He’s found someone; so it’s your turn now. I can get back to you.
Daniel: Me? ((sighs)) Oh no. Not this again.
Stephen: What? What’s going on?
JT: I’m trying to hookup Mr. Loneliness over here with one of these model chicks out here. I mean look at all them. Between the pool and the dance floor there’s gotta be somebody… I try setting you up with Samantha, you said she talks too much about herself. I tried Amy, she was too quirky for you. Then there was Tasha? Goth is so in this season.
Daniel: Halloween was two weeks ago. She didn’t for one second ask me what my name was; she kept calling me Derrick and going on and on about her vintage Dracula memorabilia. My mom would give her a run for her money.
JT: Okay then, what was wrong with Gabrielle from Perrrru? - She was hot looking wasn’t she?
Daniel: Yeah and so was her attitude. She barely spoke any English. I was like standing a foot from her, and could tell she was looking at those more buff looking guys in the pool than being interested in me. She only knew two words: Hi and Bye.

JT: Okay, so she’s a little picky. Don’t be discouraged by a language barrier. We can work on that. Just let her know, big things do come in small packages. - No pun intended.
Daniel: Whatever man. Just give it up already. Stop wasting your time. There’s no way you’re gonna find me somebody before the night ends. Lily means everything to me.
JT: No. It’s not over yet. Daniel, I’ve at least got one more shot at this. I’m gonna find the girl for you. Just wait, you’ll see.
Stephen: JT, I think you need to lay off the champagne.
Daniel: Yeah man, before the bubbly goes straight to your head. - Oh, no wait it already has. ((rolls eyes))
