Wedding part 1

Christian and Jason's wedding.

"Oh Christian." Ashley spoke in his ear as he slept.

"Hm."

"It's time to get up."

"Five more minutes." He groggily told her.

"But if you sleep in you'll be late to your own wedding."

"The wedding." He muttered before his eyes snapped open. "The wedding!" He struggled to untangle himself from the blankets.

"Should we tell him it's only eight thirty in the morning?" John asked them.

"Are you kidding?" Jacob said. "This is too entertaining to pass up." Bryan and the kids peeked in time to see Christian plop off the bed earning chuckles from them.

Sebastian arrived and walked to John. "I am heading out."

"Are you sure you can't stay for breakfast?" John asked him.

"I promised my uncle and cousin that I'll meet them in an hour." John looked away and Sebastian put his hand on his shoulder. "And I promise to see you before the ceremony begins." John nodded in understanding. Sebastian leaned close to whisper in his ear, "And thank you for a wonderful night cap."

John's lips twitched into a smile. "It is I who should be thanking you." Sebastian smiled and they did a quick peck on the lips before Sebastian headed out.

After Christian freed himself from the bedding, he and his family were in the dining room having breakfast as Calvin went over the day's plans. "Once everyone is ready, we'll head to the health spa to get pampered."

Christian's head snapped up. "Nobody told me that we were going to a spa."

"Of course." Calvin told him. "How else would we groom ourselves for the big day?" Christian sulked as he returned to his food.

"But what about the kids?" Sarah asked Jessie and Bryan. "I don't recall health spas allowing children inside them."

"No need to worry about that." Bryan said. "I'm taking them to my folk's place to get ready for the big day. And they were more than happy to spend some quality time with them."

"Oh."

"Then." Calvin continued on. "We shall get our hair done at the hairdresser. Afterwards we shall meet Troy at the venue to get dressed. And as guests get seated, we shall get the wedding party organized for the ceremony."

"Then we can party!" Ashley exclaimed and earned cheers from the kids before composing herself with the looks she's receiving. "What?"

Calvin cleared his throat. "Does everyone understand what needs to be done?" everyone murmured. "Good. Now, let's get this day started."

Sometime later at the spa, the girls were getting mani pedis while the guys were soaking in a hot tub. "Too bad Troy couldn't join us." Christian told his father and brothers.

Jacob scoffed. "Like that pale tightwad wants to spend time with us at a spa."

"Besides." John chimed in. "He is assisting your fiancé in making sure the venue is up to code."

"Oh no." Christian said. "Don't tell me he's going to go all groom-zilla on them and change everything."

"Troy assured me that he shall do everything in his power to calm him." Calvin spoke from the corner with a drink in his hands.

Christian frowned. "Don't sweat it, bro" Jacob lightly punched his arm. "I'm sure everything is fine."

"Still." Christian felt unsure.
