Senator

Chapter 24

As Natalie walked down the aisle, she felt the stares of the hundreds of people invited. But the person she cared most about was Jack. She barely knew Jack, but out of all the men she'd ever met, Jack was the only one she'd want to marry. Linked to her fathers arm, she continued making small steps until she reached Jack. Her father gave her away with tears in his eyes, and Ethel took her bouquet.

The ceremony was quick and not very intimate, however it was still nice.

As Natalie and Jack walked out of the church, flowers were thrown above them and the camera flashes blinded them.

Everyone was pushing and shoving just to get a glance at the newlyweds.

They got to the reception and took wedding photos. Soon after the guests began to arrive, which only meant Jack and Natalie had to greet them.
It took them two hours to shake everyones hand.

There was dancing and eating and lots of congratulating.

Natalie was so busy talking to her little cousin who came to the bridal parties table, that she didn't notice Jack was staring at her with admiration. She also didn't notice that a reporter snapped a picture of the moment.

Their table was long, and wrapped around the whole reception. Jack was on her left side, and Ethel was on her right, since she was the maid of honor.

"So I guess it's time for our first dance." Jack whispered and took Natalies hand.

They got on the dance floor and everyone couldn't get enough of them. They were truly the perfect couple.

After their dance, Natalie danced with her father as well as her brother. While Jack danced with his mother and Eunice, as well as Natalies mother.

"Natalie, may I have this dance?" Jacks father asked.

"Of course!" Natalie said.

Joe Sr. whispered into her ear, "I'm glad you married my son, Natalie." "I'm glad too." she whispered back. Although she would never admit it, she was proud to have married Jack. And something about him made her feel safe and happy.

Towards the end of the night Bobby was so drunk he could barely walk in a straight line. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. Both Jack and Natalies mothers were over the moon about the success of the wedding.

The wedding soon came to an end.
