Newlyweds

Chapter 17: Wedding and Reception Rehearsal

Isabelle's POV:
(Just in case you guys got confused from last chapter)

"Why can't we keep cuddling?" Hunter asked me. We've been laying around for a little bit now.
"I would love to, but we have a rehearsal for our wedding, if we're late that will look bad."
"Please, I won't be able to see you for 3 fuc-freaking days. Who cares about those fuck-." He stops himself. If he finished that sentence he would owe money to the swear jar.
"Babe, I would love to stay here with you, but think about it. Our honeymoon you and I no interruptions. Just us having butt naked wild sex."
"I like the sound of that." he smirks at me.
"Wipe that smirk away. We have to go." I tell him.

After a few minutes and maybe a little touchy, touchy feely stuff we finally leave. We arrive and everyone is there. As usually we're late.
"You're late." Bryan sing-songs.
"Fuck off." I sing-song back. Right now this has to go right and not mess up. It rained and I have no idea how long this will clear up. I can't have my heels sticking into the grass, and I don't want my dress to get muddy. Our wedding is outside and I don't need a mud fight from any of these crazy men.
"Someone's pissy." Bryan jokes. I glare at him and he backs off. Even holding his hands up in surrender. That's right, back off.
"Hey." Megan comes up and hugs me.
"Hey. How are you?" I asked her.
"Great. The baby is doing great." she rubs her stomach. I notice Steven walking up.
"Hey Steve." I wave.
"Hey. May I steal my wife?"
"Go ahead." Steven and Megan walk away and I know I need to get this started. I notice Bryan and Hunter throwing a football. I walk up and start to talk to Hunter.
"Do you want to start this?" I asked.
"Mhm." he answers, barely paying attention to me as he throws the ball to Bryan. The ball comes back through the air and I jump in front of Hubter to catch it. He frowns at me.
"Get this started. Now." I don't smile at him. I give him the look and he knows to get it started. He walks off as Bryan yells, "Whipped." I look at him and he ducks his head. No matter how long I've known him. He never fails to surprise me.
"Okay everyone, my lovely fiancée wants to get this started, so I need all the bridesmaids and groomsmen to come and talk to my wife about what to do." Hunter announces. Everyone walks over to me.
"Okay, y'all will stand back here. You will walk in when you see the couple in front of you stand in their places." I instruct they all nod.
"Everyone pair up and we can start." Hunter tells them. He gets in front of all.
Hunter walks down. Then, Mary and Bryan. Then, Sky and Jake. (Yes I messed up in chapter 13. I put Jace not Jake and Jace is walking her down the aisle.) Then, Ashley and Kyle. Then, Taylor and Kory. Then, Dylan and Mike. Last was, Mary and Justin. After them the ring bearer, Isaac. walked in with his mom holding him. Then, the flower girls. Trinity and Allison my cousin, Laurie's daughters. Finally here comes the bride started playing and I had my imaginary Jace walking me down the aisle. Hunter smiled at me, and I just had to smile back. I walked up and there and took his hands in mine. This is the farthest were rehearsing today. Everyone heads to the reception hall and we will hear the speeches everyone has prepared.
We all sat down and Bryan went up there first. He smirked at me and I gulped.
"Hello, I'm Bryan the best man. I've known Hunter my whole life. Since diapers, my mom and his mom were best friends. We played t-ball together and eventually baseball. We were unstoppable. In college we had all the women and all the fun. We knew we were hot stuff and no one told us different. That was until he met Isabelle. She was a challenge. Kept him on his toes. She never just gave it up to him. He has to earn her and her trust. That's why I liked her. She didn't throw herself at him. If anyway it was the other way around. He was a long sick puppy dog. Always talking about Isabelle. Isabelle this and Isabelle that. I didn't know what he meant until I met my beautiful wife. I always knew Isabelle was the one for him. You could see it in their eyes. I'm happy you stuck around Isabelle, because I couldn't think of anyone planning this wedding besides you. I love you both and hope you have a great marriage. To you." he raises up his glass and drank from it. The crowd followed him. He came to give me a hug.
"I love you too." I tell him.
"You better because this is the only time I will give my emotions to you." he teases and in a away I know it's true. He gives Hunter a bro hug takes a seat and Megan takes the stage.
"Hi, my name is Megan. I'm the maid of honor. I've known Belle since second grade. She had just moved to our school. She was loud and I was quiet so it was a shock when kids saw us hanging out. We were a odd pair. Disagreed on everything, but came to a agreement. She did not love romances at all. We watched action movies and horrors never once did we watch romance, that was until Hunter came in the picture. I had to thank him. He got my best friend being girly, putting on makeup. Which took baby steps. Watching romance movies, she even cried. Belle never cried. So once I saw this dramatic change I had to meet the fellow. And when I met Hunter I knew nothing could keep them apart and it was love. So Belle I love you and everything you do for me. Hunter keep being yourself and treat my girl good. To you, and since I can't drink I'll drink my apple juice." everyone loves at that remark. I got up and hugged Megan.
"Thanks babygal." I kiss her cheek.
"It was nothing, darling." she pulls away and hugs Hunter.
"That was sweet." he applauds her.
"Don't get soft on me, Williams." Megan jokes and takes her seat. Our parents aren't doing their speeches and Mary and Jace couldn't make it tonight.
"Everyone we are done." Hunter yells. Everyone gets up to leave and what not. "I'm going to have to take her." Dylan says. Dylan is throwing the bachelorette party. I was going to ask Sky, but Dylan said she just had to.
"Can we get five minute alone?" Hunter pleaded.
"I guess. Meet me at my car in five." she point at me. I nod my head and sit down the Hunter. He takes my hands in his and start to kiss my fingers one by one.
"You know I love you?" Hunter asked me.
"Yes, and I love you." Its the smallest things I love from this man.
"I'm coming to miss you." He pulls me onto his lap, and nuzzles his face into my neck.
"I'm going to miss you too." I start to play with his air.
"Give me a kiss?" I chuckle at him but kiss him anyways. I have no idea how longed we kissed. Every time we kiss it feels like the first time.
"I love you." I stand up and pull him with me.
"I love you too, be safe and no strippers." he warns me. Isn't it suppose to be the other way around?
"No promises." I kiss his cheek and walk off to Dylan's car.
"Y'all are adorable." She giggles.
"Just put the car in reverse and let's go." I tease her.
"Okay, but tomorrow be up bright and early."
"Yippee." I sarcastically smile.
"It's going to be fun, I promise you. Who are you talking to. I went all out." she promises.
"Exactly what in worried about."
"Don't be. You'll have fun."
"Whatever you say. Whatever you say."
