Russell Howard Fanfiction - Love At First Laugh

Chapter 25 - The Wedding Part 2

A/N
I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING!
I hope you can all forgive me for not posting in AGES. I was super busy for a few weeks after writing my last chapter because I was doing my school's show, after that was finished I just procrastinated and became super lazy. I do enjoy writing but I feel like there's not much else I can do with this story. There will be only one more chapter after this one. However, I have planned a different Russell howard fanfiction which I will start after that. I may also do a sequel to this fanfiction in the future if people want me to. Apologies again, I hope that you enjoy because this chapter is very long.

Previously

After the vows and the rings , the vicar asked "If any man, woman, or child has any just reason or cause why these two should not be lawfully wed or joined, speak now or forever hold your peace."

Suddenly, everyone in the room turned to the door ....

Y/Ns POV

..... silence. Everyone sighed in relief as the doors remained closed. (HA YOU WERE FOOLED)
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride".
We turned to eachover, grinning for not even a second before Russell pulled me in by my waist as I placed my hands on his face. When our lips touched, everyone went wild, cheering and clapping for us. When we parted, still in eachovers arms we just stared at eachover, both with wide grins on our faces. Suddenly I was lifted in the air by Russell's two muscular arms as he carried me back down through the aisle and outside as everyone followed.

Once everyone was outside, the women stood together while I got ready to throw my bouquet. I turned around, threw it into the air and watched as it landed in Hannah's arms. We all cheered as she went bright red and laughed.
"Come on then Rhys we're waiting for you!" Russell said to Rhys who was also red.
"Um actually... Hannah" He said walking up to her. Suddenly he got down on one knee. Everyone started to freak out and cheer. Hannah gasped in shock and started to cry with happiness. Me on the other hand, I was screaming and jumping with joy, my best friend was getting proposed to!
"Hannah will you marry me?"
"Yes!" She said through her tears and choked up voice.
The ring was placed on her finger and they embraced and kissed.
I ran up to Hannah and practically tackled her with a hug and everyone gathered round and congratulated the newly engaged couple.

About 30 minuites later, everyone had arrived at the reception which was held in the grand hall of a 5* hotel. Russell and I were the first to enter. (Picture at the top) The room was lit up with fairy lights and lanterns hanging from the ceiling. There were many circular tables, all with candelabrums on top of the white tablecloths. There was also a dance floor in the corner lit up with blue and purple lights. It was beautiful.
Russell wrapped his arms around me and whispered "Hello Mrs Howard" in my ear and kissed my cheek making me giggle.
Soon, others started to walk in the room and we all took our seats.

I was sat on a table with Russell to my right, Hannah on my left, and my parents, Russell's parent's, Kerry and Dan taking up the other seats.
The other tables were all full with the people we loved who were buzzing with excitement and chatting away.
The room was soon silenced from the sound of a spoon tapping against a glass. Everyone turned to Russell who had stood up from his chair.
"While we're waiting for the food I thought we would have a few speeches?"
The room nodded while paying vast attention to Russell.
"Okay I'll start"
As much as I should have felt happy, I wanted to crawl and hide like a tortoise in its shell. I knew I was going to go bright red with everyone's attention on myself and Russell. I wasn't even speaking and yet I felt bashful. I felt lucky that the bride doesn't have to say a speech herself.
