The Wedding Celebration

Grace
We are getting together with the Steele family to plan a party for the wedding celebration. Mia and her friends are coming to the party, some just to see who Elliott married and some to try to get close to Christian. I doubt he will not let that happen plus Anastasia and him have became more than friends. They have been photographed walking her cat Elmer. He has also brought it over in it's cat sack. It was like one of those baby carriers that hold the baby next to its parents body and has leg and head holes. He is bringing extra security for him and Anastasia. Luckily Leila will be standing trial and is not bailed out otherwise we might need to hold off on this celebration of Elliott and Ashleigh's marriage. Carla and I are throwing it as a surprise for both of them. She gave Sandra her notice and Sandra was okay with it and said that Lily's contract was for two years now. I thought it was funny how her father came up with that solution to her disrespectful comments she made in front of others.
Carla
I think Ray wanted to walk Ashleigh down the aisle, but he likes her choice in husbands. They were dating from the day they met. Lily was upset about it. We have heard her comments but the one about Sandra is what made her father insist on her working in Ashleigh's place while she was getting surgery on her scars. So she has to do it or lose her trust fund and her inheritance. I found it a nice change that someone is making sure their daughter learn to respect others. She definitely has been towing the line in regards to Sandra Wilson. Now if she can actually apply that to the rest of her life. Not everyone learns from life's lessons forced or otherwise. I finally start helping decide what would be nice, but neither Grace or I know Ashleigh enough to know what she might like so we call Sandra.
Sandra
Carla and Grace asked for my input on Ashleigh's wedding celebration. I help them on everything because I know about her likes and dislikes. So all three of us put it together and invite people we know would want to be there. Soon we have everything done and the party is going strong. Mia has invited a few people to the party so they know Elliott is unavailable. Kate Kavanagh has her mr Shaeffer on her arm. Mia and I have our doctors on ours. It is the single young ladies invited that have me worried.
Lily
I got invited to the celebration of Ashleigh and Elliott's wedding. They got married while on vacation and are very happy together. Now I am stuck in a two year contract with Sandra because of my rude comments that my father heard about. I guess I should try to get close to Christian, but he seems to be close to Anastasia, Ashleigh's identical twin. They are very different in personalities. It has to be due to the lives they lived as children. I don't know the whole story just parts of it as to how Ashleigh lived as a captive. Anastasia was raised very well and very protected. She is outgoing and a formidable person in her own right at this point. She is coming with Christian Grey. Right now they are merely friends..
Aaron Carter
I have came back to Seattle to see Mia and this party is an event I wanted to be with her for her brothers wedding celebration. I know both her parents already. I am six years older than Mia and I am already in love with her. My practice is in New York and I am going to have a practice here in Seattle and I am a specialist in my field so I can have patients come to me at this point. But sometimes it is worth going to the patients. I look at Mia enjoying her family and think my family and I have never been that close. They want me to marry one f their friends daughters but that will never happen. I saw her with her current lover and she knew about Mia. She still wants to get married but in name only. I refused flatly. She then told her parents and they told mine and that caused a huge issue. If I marry Mia like I want to it will hopefully dissuade my family from pushing the marriage on me. I need to be honest with Mia about all this and let her decide what she wants to do.
Mia
Aaron spoke to me about his situation and I am glad he did. I love him and would like to marry him, but not sure if we are ready yet. I tell him I will know by the end of the party and give him my answer. We relax and dance together and have a few drinks. He has always given me my space to make decisions.
David Smith
I have an engagement ring for Sandra and I pull her aside and I ask her in private to be my wife. When she started crying I thought I overstepped until she said yes I will. I slide the ring on her finger and ask her to elope tonight with me. She again says yes. This was a great party, but I want to leave and get married now. She says that we need to pack or get people to pack our things for us. I agree and we will leave by eleven pm and I get the jet ready for a Vegas trip. We can arrange the wedding at a friends home instead of those chapels. Her ring is obvious and Lily is not going with us thank God. I know her situation and her attitude is bad when Sandra is not watching. I have put a bug in Eric Johnson's ear about it and sent him a video of her behavior.
Mia
After everything that happened at this celebration I decided to marry Aaron. He had already asked my father and we are going to Vegas with Sandra and David to get married quietly.
Anastasia
Christian and I are sitting holding hands and making quite a few of the single friends of the family angry that they can't get Christian to dance with them or have a private conversation with him. Mom and I go to the restroom and security is going with us. I found out that Leila somehow got free of the police when they were transferring her to prison. So I have my gun in my purse and Stephanie and Alice are following us armed to the T.
Carla
We arrive to the ladies room and Stephanie checks the stalls out and Alice is waiting outside for us. One stall has an occupant in it. The handicapped stall. There is a wheelchair in it and we feel it was safe, boy were we wrong. I had gotten in my stall locked the door and had my gown up and undies down and was relieving myself when all hell broke loose.
Leila
I hit the security over the head with the gun in my hand and slide the door open to Anastasia's stall, what I thought was her stall. When I see her standing with a gun pointing at my forehead. She grabs the gun I am aiming at her mother. She tells me to lay on my stomach on the ground and that is when her other security comes in and grabs my arms behind my back and cable ties me yet again. She was the one that caught me the last time. I am face down on the bathroom floor smelling floor cleaner and she ties my ankles together then brings my ankles to my wrists and ties them both together. I can't escape like this. Cops are swarming around me and they take me into custody when they hear the elderly lady begging for help.
Connie James
I have been taken hostage and she has a gun pointed discretely at my back. I was just coming out of the restroom when she used me as a decoy in the handicapped stall. Fifteen minutes later stalls were being checked and they saw my wheelchair and left me alone. My captor told me one peep and I will die before my time. She went out and I heard the thud of a body and then I hear a gasp after a stall door was opened up. Then I hear a scuffle and someone being ordered on the ground face down. I see blood just under the door. Then I hear a lot of people entering telling someone they are under arrest. I heard two people moving around and a few voices and they come ask me if I need any assistance. They open the door and I can't say much and they get me to Dr Grace Grey to check me over and she thinks I am okay. I agree with her. My son is waiting for me and I go talk to him about his daughter. Leila Williams didn't know she was holding her grandmother hostage. I now know that they didn't set Leila up at all. She did everything they said she had. John and Danielle came here because they were invited and to possibly see Leila and stop her from harming anyone. That failed. She put a female security guard in the hospital with a concussion. I am very distraught about Leila. We think her biological parents were both criminally insane. I have one grandson left and he is their natural child. Nathan Williams survived growing up with Leila as his sister. He is a lawyer at the Grey law firm. Carrick Grey has never let Leila's behavior effect his attitude towards her family members. I tell my son and daughter in law we are all cutting off any contact with Leila.
Two days later two weddings later
Aaron and Mia marry each other in a double ceremony with Sandra and David. What we failed to notice was Anastasia and Christian getting on a flight as we were boarding on the other end of the tarmac.
