Glasgow Kiss

Chapter 13

The day for the rehearsal dinner has arrived. The couples went to take their places at the dinner table. Everything was set up nicely and well-prepared. Jack and Cherry are excited but nervous because they do not want any interruptions during their wedding. The rehearsal dinner went on for an hour, then the girls decided to take Cherry to Drew and Christina's house, while the guys went to Jack's house. Christina let them know it is bad luck for the groom to see the bride before their wedding. Cherry and Jack were not taking any chances, so they understood Christina's reasoning. Denise went to put on the radio and 'More Than a Woman' by Aaliyah started playing, one of Christina's favorite songs. After the song finished, Christina went to check on their cats, changed their food and water, and went back downstairs. The song 'For All Time' by Michael Jackson played next and Christina thought of an idea.

"OMG, I love that song! I'm going to tell the DJ to play that song for your first dance with Jack!" Christina replied, excitedly.

"Girl, this song fits them perfectly!" Denise agreed.

"Don't forget to add 'Cause I Love You' by Johnny Cash!" Christine replied.

"Excellent choice! That's going on the playlist too!" Cherry said, happily.

"There is one song that would be a perfect one to dance to." Christina stated. "The song is called 'Day One' by Tamia. That was our wedding song."

"I love that one!" Denise stated. "That must go on the playlist, ASAP!"

The girls created a playlist of songs to use for the wedding tomorrow, a mixture of love songs, dance tunes, and country hits. After finishing the wedding playlist, the girls went to the bedrooms, getting excited and ready for tomorrow. Meanwhile, at Jack's place, the guys were having fun, telling each other jokes and are excited for tomorrow.

"Tomorrow's the big day!" Drew started.

"Yep, and I cannot wait!" Jack replied.

"Now all we need is Sheamus to tie the knot." Randy said laughing.

"Haha, very funny Randy." Sheamus said, sarcastically.

"Don't get your pants in a bunch, lad. You love her." Drew replied.

"Yes, I do, very much but seeing all of this wedding planning gets me nervous." Sheamus admitted.

"You think so? Try planning a rehearsal dinner, catering, dress and tuxedo fittings and a wedding. Now that is overwhelming." Jack said.

"True but seeing you lads with your mates makes me happy. Don't get me wrong, I will propose to her, but it will be on my time where she least expects it." Sheamus replied.

"How are you planning to ask her?" Drew asked.

"I asked your wife earlier today to help me out before the rehearsal dinner." Sheamus started. "She went with me to pick out the ring."

"Nice!" Randy replied. "Drew, our wives are willing to help us out even when there are five thousand things happening all at once."

"Which is why we love them." Drew stated. "Christina broke down my walls and shown me what real, unconditional love truly is. All of us are lucky to have such strong, loving women in our lives."

"You got that right!" Jack added. "Now all of us need to get our forty winks, my big day is tomorrow."

"Absolutely, well it is time for bed." Randy said. The guys went to the bedrooms and fell fast asleep. Jack was smiling with happiness, knowing tomorrow is the day Cherry McDonald will become his wife.

The wedding day has finally arrived! The girls woke up very early, got their dresses and went to the church. The guys got up a little later, got their tuxedos and arrived a half-hour later. Cherry hired professional make-up artists and hair stylists to help them get ready. Two hours later, they were done and now they are helping each other put on their dresses. Christina received a text from Drew, and it was a picture of the guys in their tuxedos. She shown Denise and Christine the picture but not Cherry because she was in another room putting on her wedding dress. A few minutes later, Cherry came out in her beautiful wedding dress. The girls were screaming with excitement, knowing the time has come for Cherry to marry her Scottish prince, Jack.
