In Drummer Heaven

Thunderstorm Wedding

Tommy

I thought it was dry season in Athens during the month of May, maybe it's too early in the month. Either way today, the day Darcy and I are getting married, is pouring rain. Mother Nature really fucking hates me! First the day I was going to ask her to marry me and now the day we're getting married. What did I do to piss her off?

We got to the church and Amy with Jenny who will be seven and Marley who will just turned five dragged Darcy to some different room to meet Jadie and Dani (no Rosie, she's in Texarkana with her family). Nikki, Mick, Vince, and I all go into a different room to get ready or waste time.

"Hey Nik!" I yell across the room and he looks up from talking with Vince. "Don't put this one on." I say and throw the little box with the wedding ring inside it across the room at him.

"I'm not that stupid." Nikki assures me with a laugh.

"You did it once." Mick reminds him.

"Learned my lesson." He assures us all.

I really wish it would quite raining. I mean we're still getting married inside the church but the plan was to get married behind the church so the skyline and the Parthenon in the background of all our pictures. I mean with the thunderstorm its kinda hard to do that. It's still going to be a really good wedding just not what we had planned.

In all honesty as long as I'm marrying Darcy I'll be happy. We've been through enough fights and blond singers that I just want to marry her and be happy. I don't want anymore drama, I just want to be happy with my wife. I don't want there to be a chance that some guy tries to pick up Darcy because she doesn't have a ring. I just want it to be me and Darcy forever.

Since the remaining of the girls' tour is cancelled because of their lack of singer all the girls are pretty sad about it. They see the good in everything though, this gives them a chance to finish up the songs for their next album and start recording. In all honesty I'm trying to convince Darcy to come on tour with me but I know our manager won't like it.

Darcy

Besides the weather this sucks. I feel stupid, I look stupid, I can barley walk, and I hate everything. Can't I marry Tommy wearing jeans and Chuck Taylor's? Like who decided that we have to get married in pretty fancy clothes? I really want to punch them in he face.

I'm dressed in my wedding dress and those railroad spikes that Dani calls shoes. My hair that is usually straight is curled into loose curls and my makeup was done by some professional stylist. I look ridiculous.

Dani and my cousin Amy are talking about adoption stuff, Jadie is probably hanging upside down in the closet like a bat, I'm playing with Jenny and Marley.

"Aunt Darcy?" Jenny calls and I look down at her.

"Yeah, sweetie?" I ask her.

"We're hungry." Marley says.

"Me too." I admit. "Let's go try to find the kitchen."

I grab their hands and walk out of the room, I mean if Dani or Amy saw us they'd pitch a fit. Those broads strongly believe in the whole 'it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding' thing. Personally I don't believe in it because I have shit luck to start with so nothing can make that worse. I mean it's already thundering and lightning and storming and raining.

I'm a bit of a history dork and Zeus is the Greek God of lightning, maybe Zeus doesn't want Tommy and I to get married. Fuck you, Zeus.

We find the kitchen and my little second cousins but Amy has made them my nieces start to raid the fridge, I am definitely related to them. I myself see a bottle of Jack Daniels on the counter and start to look for a glass.
