Chapter 123 Wedding Reception. Can I have this dance?

The wedding was a beautiful ceremony. Rory cried. Logan held her. Both boys looked worried. After the wedding, Logan and Rory followed the wedding party to a nearby park to take wedding pictures. The boys are a part of the wedding party. Rory assumed as the family of the groom, she and Logan would be asked to be some of the pictures. Rory and Logan watched the boys, they both were well behaved. They had to be shown where to stand a couple of times, but other than that they listened and followed directions. Rory was almost in tears. She was so proud. After taking hundreds of pictures in all different poses. Most serious, but some funny. The photographer told Lana that is all the pictures she requested. And asked if there are anymore she would like to add? Lana looked around at everyone. "I think we have all we need. If you will just be sure to take some candid shots at the reception." Lana told him and turned around to face her brides' maids. "Time to party"

Rory just looked at Logan. Rory, nor Gigi were in any of the pictures except for candid shots she notices the photographer's helper taking. Rory stepped back to get the boys so they could change before going to the reception when Christopher spoke up. "Can we get a couple of pictures of me and my girls?" The photographer looked at him and realized he was looking at Rory and Gigi. "Oh, these are your children?" Christopher smiled "Yes this is my oldest Rory and her husband Logan and the cuties in the tuxes are their boys, and this is my youngest, Gigi." "Oh, good, come along, let's get you set up." While the photographer was posing the family, he had Rory standing in front of but between Logan and Christopher and the boys standing in front of her. Gigi was on the other side of Rory. Lana was next to Christopher. The photographer took one picture. Before he could snap another, Lana spoke up. "Can I arrange the family?" Lana came around to where Rory and Gigi were standing. She placed Gigi in front of Rory and the boys to the side of Rory. The photographer raised an eyebrow at his assistant but took the picture anyway.

The wedding party started walking back over to the country club for the reception. Christopher and Lana were walking behind them. "Hey, Kiddo, come on, we will wait for you. We will be the last to be announced." Christopher said, looking over his shoulder. "Go ahead, don't wait on us, We are going to take the boys to get changed. Don't want to mess up their tux." Rory and Logan were hurrying the boys along. They did not notice Christopher and Lana stopped by the door of the county club arguing.

When Rory and Logan entered the reception hall, Rory immediately went looking for somewhere to sit down. Rory brought snacks for the boys. They were sitting beside her in one of the sofas along the wall. Logan went to get him a scotch and Rory water. Before Logan got back, Karson and Ricky came to get the boys to dance with them on the dance floor.

Rory was sitting on the sofa when she noticed Cynthia approaching her. "Hey, I didn't see you at the wedding," Rory said. "We were in the back. I couldn't see the boys very well, they looked so cute." "Thank you. Have a seat. Logan went to get me a bottle of water and him a scotch. The boys are dancing with Karson and Ricky." Rory said. "I have your bottle of water," Cynthia said, handing Rory the bottle of water. They sit there watching the boys dance. Logan and Mitchum were talking with someone over by the bar.

"Okay, everyone clear the dance floor," The DJ said over the loudspeaker. "It is time for the Bride and Groom's first dance as a married couple." First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes Lana and Christopher took to the dance floor. Logan and Mitchum finally made it over to Cynthia and Rory. Karson was helping the boys get something to drink.

As the song came to an end, the DJ said "time for the father/daughter dance" Lana's uncle took her by the hand and led her to the dance floor as "Butterfly Kisses" Christopher stepped over to Rory, "Would you dance with this old man?" He asked. "Dad, I think I better decline in my current condition. Asked Gigi. I don't think my feet will allow me." Rory said.

As soon as the Father/Daughter dance was over, Everyone crowded the dance floor. Rory and Logan watched the boys dance a few songs. Rory was resting her head on Logan's shoulder. "I'm going to the bathroom. Do you think you can get the boys and meet me outside? I'm ready to go home." Rory asked. Rory stood up. She walked around the dance floor while Logan walked through the dance floor to get to the boys.

Logan and the boys were standing outside waiting on the car to bring around when Rory came out the door. I didn't take one look to know that she was pissed. "Momma, what's wrong?" Will asked. This brought Logan's attention to her. "Ace," Logan said. Rory shook her head. When the car arrived, the velvet helped put Will in his car seat while Logan put Chris in. Rory sat down in the car. When Logan pulled away from the curve, he took Rory's hand. He looked in the rearview mirror to check on the boys and he could see Christopher standing on the curve looking as they drove away.

They were almost home when Logan could hear Rory's phone vibrating. She did not make a move to answer it. He squeezed her hand. She shook her head. By the time they got home, Will and Chris were asleep. Logan had the security at the gate help him get the boys up to bed. Rory went straight to the bathroom to change and wash her face. When she came out in one of Logan's old tee shirts and a pair of sweatpants, Logan was entering the closet to change. Rory got in bed and was texting on her phone. Logan came out of the closet. "Who are you texting?" "Gigi, she needs to come home with Karson and Ricky." Logan nodded and sat down on the bed. As he slipped under the covers he asked, "Are you ready to tell me what happened?" She looked at him with tears in her eyes and nodded.
