Santa Who?

Mias Wedding

Grace
Omg Mia is driving everyone crazy, the flowers aren't right, the music is all wrong and the ice sculpture is going to melt. Her cake is the only right thing because she made it lol. Ana and Ingrid are being ran ragged helping get this wedding completed. Christian, Elliott, Carrick, Ray, Eamon and Ethan finally have their tuxes and the boutonnières have been ordered. All the flowers have been ordered. The wedding gown was ordered and is ready, but the bridesmaids dresses were changed several times. So now we have four different dresses for Mias wedding. Luckily Christian paid for them for us. But he and his mom and dad sat Mia down and told her to make a decision and leave it so we can all get through this wedding.
Mia
I don't know what's wrong with me, nothing seems to be running smoothly. Ana and Ingrid and my mom finally took over the wedding plans for me. Mom is keeping me sane and finally we have the rehearsal dinner and it's perfect and then the batches or parties are nice as well. Kate and Elliott are living together and Christian is dating Ana exclusively. The wedding is on Christmas Day. As a joke Elliott and Christian hired a Santa to marry us. Can you imagine walking down the aisle all nervous and you are looking at your groom and fail to notice the red suited man at the alter. Everything was perfect with a Christmas theme to it. Then I see the Santa I think everyone but me is smiling. Then I realize my brothers pulled this prank on me. They will pay dearly for this. It turned out he was indeed a minister and could perform marriages and he gets a lot of wedding requests for Christmas Day and he is asked to dress as Santa for it. Christian pulled some strings to get this particular Santa. He also is a DJ and did a fantastic job. The wedding and reception was extraordinary and we had great photos and videos of the whole wedding and reception. Of course I threw the bouquets toward Ana and Kate, Ana ducked and Kate grabbed it.
Ethan
Throwing the garter is tricky, because none of the single guys want to catch it. It ended up on Elliotts head lol. Everyone laughed until our sides hurt. I did know I could throw that high. But videos show that he ducked to miss it and it fell on his head. Kate was thrilled because she caught the bouquet, because Ana ducked and Kate wore six inch heels to assure she would be the tallest when the bouquet was thrown. Talk about stacking the deck. We definitely had a wonderful wedding. Christian paid for the honeymoon and let us use his jet to go anywhere we wanted. We left the day after Christmas to Paris and then on to Ireland. We kissed the Blarney Stone and had a nice time in both places. Mia barely made to shop in either places I kept her very busy with indoor activities. My practice was up and running when I finally popped the question. A friend of mine is filling in for me while we are on our honeymoon.
Kate
Elliott is fretting so I let him off the hook and told him I wasn't ready for marriage. He finally relaxed, which upset me, but I let it go. But I will keep it in mind though. I decide to start distancing myself just in case this was just fun and games for Elliott and nothing more. Ana has asked us for dinner at her parents home. I decide to go alone and drive myself.
Ana
Since the wedding Kate seems a bit off and sad. I know what happened and what she felt like. I think they should outlaw the throwing of the bouquet and garter at weddings. I told her I wouldn't have it at my wedding. She laughed and said it was an old fashioned idea. Elliott loves her I am sure about that, but unsure why he is afraid of commitment. She asks me about dating Christian, I tell her we are just hanging out is all. He and I have too much on our plates to get serious. Plus I think I will pass on dating anyone seriously.
Kate
I see the pain in Ana's eyes and I suspect she's in the same boat I am in. I recommend going out with a few friends and maybe finding her a steady guy might help her. I invite her and a few friends over for dinner minus one billionaire playboy.
Ana
Kate has invited me and a few friends over on a weekend night. Christian of course assumes I am at his beck and call as usual yet again. I tell him I have dinner plans and he huffs and asks me to reschedule them. I tell him no, that it would be rude to change my plans on them. They invited me over a week ago and his last minute invitation is too late to change.
Elliott
I am going out with the guys while Kate has her little dinner party. Christian calls and asks me if I am busy, because Ana has plans. Hmm plans you say. She is probably going to be at Kates dinner party.
Christian
Hmm who all is invited to this party?
Elliott
Not sure, but think a few ladies and some men Kate knows. You know in the media and publishing business. Think they are all single and alone. He asks if Kate's  setting Ana up on a date with someone. I ask why would she do that? I thought you two were dating?
Christian
No we just hang out is all. So that's the plans she has tonight that she refused my dinner invitation.
Elliott
When did you ask her to dinner?
Christian
A few hours ago, why?
Elliott
Well Kate has had this planned for two weeks and you expect Ana to drop everything to have an impromptu dinner with you. I think you are about to find her less available to you from now on my friend.
