The Meaning of Family: The Collections

From Friends to Spouses (Part 7/7)

"I'm pretty sure this is the most boring bachelor party in the history of bachelor parties." Jungkook said from his spot on the living room floor. Jimin and Taehyung were a few feet away from him, playing with Sammie, who was now six months old, Yoongi was lying on the couch with his eyes closed, and Hoseok was coming out of the kitchen with a bowl of popcorn so they could start the movie.

"You've obviously never seen Everybody Loves Raymond." Hoseok commented as he sat on the couch at Yoongi's feet. "Raymond threw the most boring bachelor party for his brother."

"I have seen it, and they still had beer and poker!" Jungkook exclaimed, wishing to push his brother's into doing something more fun.

"First of all, you're only 15," Yoongi started as he sat up, "and Dad didn't let me or Hobi have our first sip of alcohol until our 18th birthday. Second, I'm having a blast." Yoongi grabbed the remote and pressed play to start Shrek, a movie that Yoongi had deemed okay to watch with Sammie in the room after an hour-long discussion.

"I bet even Sophia is having fun." Jungkook grumbled.

"You're the only one here that's not." Taehyung reached up to grab some popcorn out of the bowl in Hoseok's lap, chucking some at his younger brother before looking back down to make funny faces at Sammie.

About halfway through the movie, Jimin turned to look at Yoongi. "You still haven't picked your best man."

"And?" Yoongi looked at him blankly.

Jimin shrugged as he looked back at the TV. "It's just that Dad said that if you didn't have one picked by the time he and Dad got back from their date night, he would choose one himself, and we all know he'll do something dumb like pick himself."

The five boys laughed until Yoongi responded. "Well thankfully that's not gonna happen because Hobi's gonna do it." Yoongi pat Hoseok's thigh before looking at him. "Right?"

Hoseok coughed violently, having swallowed a piece of popcorn to quickly upon Yoongi's announcement. When he finally calmed down, he looked over at his older brother. "Are you serious?"

Yoongi nodded. "We've been through a lot together, so it makes sense."

Hoseok smiled at him and nodded, clasping their hands together. "Let's do it~"

A few days later Jin and Namjoon's bedroom became off limits, as that was where Sophia was getting ready for the wedding, since they'd decided to hold it in the backyard, much like Jin and Namjoon had years earlier. Although, this wedding would be slightly larger.

"Pizza coming through!" The twins exclaimed, attempting to maneuver through the guests that had already arrived while carrying a stack of pizzas each. Once Jin saw them, he pointed them towards the proper table to set them on at the other end of the backyard from where the actual ceremony would take place.

"Where's my oldest grandson?" Jin turned around and immediately gave a smile and hug to his mother. "He's over there, playing with Sammie to keep his nerves down." Jin pointed her to where Yoongi was sitting down with Sammie in his lap.

The time for the ceremony finally came so Jin took Sammie from Yoongi, glad that Namjoon had heard him when he'd asked him to grab a teething ring for her before coming outside. Sophia appeared shortly after the music started, and everyone could see how Yoongi was mesmerized upon seeing her in her dress. Once she reached the front, and her mother gave her away, the ceremony progressed without a hitch, minus the point where Hoseok pretended to have forgotten the ring, only to reveal he'd had it in his pocket the whole time. Then it was finally the moment everyone had waited for since that homecoming dance four years earlier (or in Jin's case, since the first moment Sophia had spoken to Yoongi his first day of preschool).

"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride~" The second Yoongi and Sophia's lips met, Jin burst into tears and brought Sammie closer to his chest in a hug, unable to be consoled even by Namjoon wrapping his arm around him and pulling him close while pressing kisses to his temple.

The couple, however, were lost in their own world. Yoongi had his hands on either side of Sophia's face and was softly stroking her cheeks as their lips slowly moved together, Sophia's hands on his waist. He pulled away for a split second, gently nudging his nose against hers before bringing his lips back to hers as the guests continued to clap.

The guests were then directed to go inside where they would be served bags of popcorn (Sophia was strongly against traditional reception food, so she used Pinterest to come up with uncommon ideas, deciding on pizza, popcorn, and other various favorites) until they were done taking the wedding pictures. Yoongi had always been strongly against having his picture taken, so it was difficult to get him to look anything but uncomfortable in any picture, so they decided to let Sammie be in the photos too, which immediately put a smile on the young father's face. "Jimin, go tell everyone to come back out for the reception~" Jin instructed the 17-year-old once the pictures one done, causing Yoongi to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh my god, I thought it would never end." Yoongi muttered, causing Sophia to giggle as she kissed him.

"Well lucky for you, no more pictures for a while." Yoongi smiled and gave her another kiss, only pulling away when Sammie started to giggle in his arms. "Is Sammie wanting a kiss too?" The newly wedded couple then began to attack each of Sammie's cheeks with kisses, causing the six-month-old to squeal in laughter.

Jin, who was watching the display from a few feet away, began to frantically swat at Namjoon's arm. "Namjoon, the tears are starting up again!"

Namjoon quickly wrapped his arms around his husband and steered him away from the couple, leading him straight towards the refreshment tables. "Come on, let's get you a glass of wine, wine will make it all better~"
