The ceremony went on. It was like a competition between dad and Enzo on who was crying the hardest. I really need to see this at my wedding, if I ever get married.

"You may now kiss the bride." The priest smiled

Melina and Enzo joined in the most loving kiss ever, and we all clapped for the newlyweds. Seeing my sister get married is one of the best things I've ever experienced. Even I wanted to cry. I did my best because my make up was genuinely amazing.

"Can you believe one day it'll be us at the altar?" Blake said breaking me out of my thoughts

"Us?" I looked at him

"Yes, I mean, us and all of our friend group will get married one day. I'm excited for that time to come." He explained

"Sure! I really need to see everyone on their big day. We are not that far from that."

"I know." He wrapped his arm around my shoulders

For a moment, I thought he meant us getting married to each other. I swear my heart dropped.

We joined everyone at the party. We started taking drinks and having the best food I've ever had at a wedding.

Melina danced with dad, and soon, she did her dance to 'chasing cars' but the sleeping at last cover, with Enzo.

Melina had finally found the love of her life, and I couldn't be happier for her. The look in his eyes showed how much she meant to him. Enzo was an amazing guy, and would do anything for my sister. He gets along with the family really well. Dad loves him, and dad is a really jealous man, but Enzo changed his perspective.

"To all the loving couples, waiting for this beautiful day to come, I have a song for you." The DJ said through the microphone

Apparently, Enzo and Melina had planned a small space for couples to really feel in love even if it wasn't their wedding, and to enjoy one song as if it were their special day.

The DJ played "Turning page" by sleeping at last. Everyone took someone to the dance floor. Even mom and dad went to dance to the song. It was the cutest thing to see my sister and her now husband, and my mom and dad.

"Can I have this dance?" Blake said leaving his glass of wine on a table

"Really?" I giggled

"Why not? Everyone's dancing, I don't want to leave you here all alone." He winked

I took his hand as he guided me to the dance floor. I placed my hand on his shoulder as he places his around my waist pulling me closer. Our hands intertwined on the side. He would spin me around, as we smiled through the whole song,

"If I had only felt how it feels to be yours,
Well, I would have known what I've been living for.."

Blake sang along with the song, but somehow it felt like a hidden message.

"I didn't know you knew sleeping at last." I chuckled as the song ended

"I know you like to listen to them to fall asleep so, I quite know them really well." He shrugged

Blake and I had more drinks and took a stupid amount of shots, and to be fair, we were pretty sober considering how much we had drank.

The bartender was daring me to take a ton of shots, and me being the competitive ass I am, decided to take every single glass shot that was poured in front of me.

"Maggie, you really should stop drinking." Mom said looking at me

"I'm good, mom." I said stuttering a little

"Don't worry, aunt, enjoy the party. I'm taking care of her." Blake smiled while stuttering

"Blake! Maggie! Shot!" I heard dad screaming wearing a "I'm sexy and I know it" snapback

"Oh, God." Mom said and left

Dad laughed at mom and mimicked her as he poured a long shot of tequila into his mouth. It was definitely one of the best nights I've experienced in my life.

The party eventually ended, as we saw Melina and Enzo leaving in their limousine.

Mom and dad rented two rooms in the hotel. One was supposed to be for the family and one for the bride and groom, but they decided they wanted to go to a house by the beach.

"Hey, Blake, want to stay over? We have an extra room." Mom said picking up her things from the table

"Thank you, aunt, but I need to head back home." He said and I groaned

"Can you please stay?" I said with puppy eyes

"Come on, Blake, I'll text your parents, and we'll drop you off after breakfast tomorrow." Dad added

Blake finally agreed and we headed upstairs to the rooms. Mom and Dad took one room with Beau, and Blake and I took the other.

***

My hair was a mess, my face was looking really bad, I had glitter all over it. Blake woke up rubbing his eyes and with a raspy voice.

We headed to the breakfast area, where we saw my parents and Beau.

"Hungover?" Dad said

"See who's talking dad." I laughed
