The Time of Our Lives.

By-gones will be by-gones

It's July 4th, it's the day for independence for America from England. This day should celebrate the country's independence and in a way that makes us independent. Marriage is a union for two people for the rest of their lives.. basically what's mine is yours. With a day of celebrating independence and marriage celebrating union, what could possibly go wrong? Oh yes there's the fact that if you get these two mixed up, others will pay. Some want independence from others and others want union from independence. Today is the day of Barbra and George's wedding. This signifies them both as the last day of being single and sharing a life together. Of course everybody will be there: the Miltons, the Lauschfuelds, family friends, friends of friends and whoever wants to crash a wedding. Barbra doesn't care about the wedding crashers, she's more concerned on if she is going to crash her own wedding. There is such a thing as wedding jitters but is there such a thing as a bride who simply can't say no? As the bride and groom get ready with everybody being busy bees trying to make this wedding the best ever, guests are pouring outside the church. Arriving now are the Miltons: Jonathan in his black Range Rover, David in his blood red Ferrari, Agnes in her mint little Volkswagen convertible New Beetle, Richard in his gray Jaguar, and an ex-Milton Susan Lingley arrives in a white limousine. As the Miltons get out of their cars, the Miltons and the rest of the guests locked their eyes on the limo. Everybody thinks that Barbra and George have arrived; Richard lets a giant grin with happiness in his eyes. But everybody along with Richard are startled to see that it was the once so venous Susan Lingley, getting out of the luxurious limo. To everybody else, Susan hasn't changed a bit since she wants to give everybody what they thought she was: a black widow. Susan pranced around in a wine red low cut body-con dress, ending at the beginning of the knees and nude 6-inch heels that made her figure look incredible, as well as her 5'4" height. Susan wore a pearl necklace and Chanel cat-eye sunglasses, holding her arm with a nude Michael Kors bag. If looks could kill, Susan was definitely a murderer. The church doors open and Susan makes a path of her own as everybody stepped aside.
She stopped at the Miltons and says to Richard,
"Wow, Dick, is it me or have you gotten better-looking? Maybe we shouldn't have ended *bits her wine-stained lips and winks at Richard*"
Richard is furious and can only utter with tremendous sass,
"Don't call me Dick, Suzy."
Richard also winks back at Susan and Susan turns her head. She goes over to her grown up children: David, Jonathan, and Agnes and says,
"Heya kids, how are you doing? Did you all miss me? I bet you all did!" Before she goes into the church, she gives each one a wine-stained kiss. They stared at her like she was some sort of ghost.

Hours later, Barbra and George are married. The wedding turned out to be spectacular even with the awkward encounters. The Miltons and the Lingley mingled for Barbra's sake. Since Susan didn't have a ride to the reception hall, she had to share a ride with Richard Milton who wasn't very happy. The whole car trip called for total silence because neither one wanted to bring anything up.

At the reception hall, everybody seemed happy and it seemed like a reconciliation had happened. Susan, Agnes, and Barbra had the girl talk that's has been waiting for years. The boys talked away their troubles and it seemed like there was never a divorce or any type of abandonment. A waiter from the reception hall goes over to Richard and tells him it's time to make a toast. Richard clicks the knife to his wine glass and tells everybody to keep quiet.
"Hello everybody, good evening. As you all know, I'm Richard Milton, the bride's father. Hello dear *waves at Barbra*! I'm so grateful for this day, not only did my daughter marry but happiness is filling up this room! I want to congratulate the groom and wish the bride good luck! I'm so happy for my little golden girl because although I never agreed with her job as an actress, I'm still so proud of her for going after her dreams! She never let anybody or anything stop her and I can't think of a better life for her. I know this is her wedding but I would like to thank my other kids too, if you all don't mind.
Agnes: My little cutie pie, you always told me to visit the museum where you show your work and I never go because you refused to be a nurse and I never forgave you for that! I'm so sorry darling, my intentions were never to hurt you or make you feel worthless. Because you're not worthless, you're the apple to my eye. My little sunshine to my cloudy days, I love you Agnes.
David: Like father, like son! But I was never proud of my infidelities and I should have never stooped so low. David, you're so much smarter and better than that! Trust me, playboy King is not a title that you want! I know you never wanted to be a lawyer but you're still young so do something that'll make you happy! Son, you're a diamond in the rough but even the roughest of diamonds can be polished new! I love you so much, tiger.
Jonathan: Defender of the law, I know you're going through a hard time with your divorce. Trust me, no divorce is ever easy. You know it more personally than I do. You're the only one that listened to me and I can't think of a worse way to live life. I've made mistakes and suffered greatly through it, so I don't know why I thought that I could shine them on you? Jonathan, you'll find love again just because I haven't doesn't mean you won't. You're young son! Live it up, listen to yourself for a change and nobody else! Jonny boy, you'll always be my little cop!
Susan: Oh Susan.... I see you here now and I could literally strangle you. But I won't... Because not only will I get arrested but this should be a day for happiness, not rage. Although you left and never came back, I never stopped thinking about you... You were the love of my life, but that love became sour very quickly. I hope this could be the start of a wonderful friendship because let's face it, marriage wouldn't be our solution. But just know that you were always my main woman.

To all the great people in my life, I toast to them because there will be better days with better memories. I couldn't think of a better way to end this evening.
