"What if he changes his mind?" Melanie asks herself. "Raven what if he changes his mind?!"

I chuckle softly. "Mel, come down hunny. You know Chris. He's not changing his mind about anything."

"Yea, you know how loyal the Short men are to their significant others." Keely says from the couch as she eats popcorn.

"Keely, I said stop eating the popcorn. You'll have no appetite for the fancy dinner." My mom says to Keely.

"Aw! But I'm hungry!" Keely whines.

"Come on Keels, come get your flowers!" Mel says holding out Keely's flower.

Keely drags herself off of the couch and takes the flowers from Mel. "I don't get why you're stressing out. I know my big bro. He'd never back out of this, he loves you. You know that."

Mel smiles at Keely. "Yeah, he does love me. And I love him."

Keely smiles. "Good good. Because we kinda need to get going now."

I roll my eyes. Keely is one weird girl. Speaking of Keely, she grabs a handful of popcorn while we walk to the doors.

"Keely!"

Keely smiles sheepishly at me, and a piece of popcorn falls out of her mouth onto the floor. Keely quick grabs it and crams it in her mouth. Making me give her a stern look.

"What? Five second rule." Keely shrugs.

Oh dear, her brothers really did corrupt her.

My phone buzzes, and I quickly pick it up.

"Wassup love?"

I snort in a very unlady like manner.

"Oh Raven. You really are a charming young lady aren't you?"

"Yeah sure. What do you want?"

"Just wanted to tell you I love you."

I can't help but laugh a little bit. "That's it?"

"Yep! See you soon babe."

"Love you too babycakes."

...

After the ceremony, Tyler makes a beeline for me. "Raven, you look stunning in this dress."

I roll my eyes. Of course Tyler would say something like that.

"Oh, nice to see you too. Totally not like we haven't seen each other in like a whole two days."

Tyler rolls his eyes. "Yeah yeah. Good to see you. But for reals babe, you are absolutely smokin'."

I pat Tyler's cheek. "I know."

My eyes search the large banquet room trying to find all our kids. "Oh no." I sigh.

"What?"

"All of our kids are talking. With each other." I say.

"Oh dear. We better go before they start a riot." Tyler says as he drags me along to where our kids are.

"Guys, you all seem like you're scheming something. What is it?" Tyler demands.

"Woah. I just get married to the love of my life and you're playing dad?" Chris jokes grinning.

"Yes, son. Because I am your dad. Know spill."

Chris pouts at Tyler. "Really? Being a buzzkill at my wedding? You're no fun dad."
