The wedding

Gladys Dempster sat looking through the pages of the happiest day of her life.

Flash back

Gladys sat in her beautiful white gown looking at herself in the mirror her short hair neat and looking amazing but she was unsure of how she looked. "Oh Gladys! You look lovely" Gladys turned to see Peggy the chalet maid and best friend walking towards her.

"Thank you" she answered with a smile.

"Gladys this is meant to be your happiest day of your life... well before starting a family" Peggy looked down at her best friend in her white flowing dress.

"No I look fat, " Peggy shook her head "you do not look fat Gladys, you look beautiful and me and the rest of the yellowcoats staff are so happy for you" Gladys smiled softly at Peggy.

Peggy looked down at her watch "well are you ready ?"

Gladys took a deep breath "as ready as I will ever be" she grabbed her bouquet, linked arms with her best friend and left her chalet.

Spike Met them both outside " Oh Gladys" Spike said holding back the tears.

As they sat in the car, Gladys started to freak out "I'm going to be late"

" its quite alright for the bride to be late, Me mama was an hour late for hers" Peggy added.

"I think I'm going to be sick" Gladys felt the nausea rise up her throat

"Take a deep breath" Spike said and Peggy held her hand "we're here, do you need a minute?"

"No" she took a deep breath "no I'm fine let's go" Spike helped Peggy get out of the car then Gladys.

The music started as Gladys and spike slowly made their way up to the altar with Peggy walking behind Gladys holding her dress , once they reach it Spike handed clive, Gladys hand and smiled "I know you to will live a long happy life together" he kissed Gladys cheek then made his way to the vacant seat in the front row next to Ted Bovis Clive's best man.

They said their vows, and then the 'I Do's' Gladys could not believe it she was married wow she thought never thought that would happen. Gladys and Clive walked out together and made their way like everyone else to the Maplins Hawaiian Ballroom where they held the reception.

The room went silent and Ted Bovis, Clive's best man stood up "I have known Gladys for a long time but there are a few things I do know like I know she's a beautiful, intelligent -"

"Married" coughed Clive, which made everyone laugh

"well yes and that but, the most important thing is that I know she is the one for Clive, they are perfect for each other and I know for a fact that they will be so happy together, that's all I could ask for is that Clive, Gladys and their children live a long happy life together" Ted stood up and hugged his friend while everyone clapped.

"suppose I should say a few words, well where do I start umm I just wanted to thank everyone for coming today it made this day perfect having all our friends and family here to celebrate this very special day with us I would also like to thank my beautiful wife Gladys I would be lost without you, you have made me the happiest man alive" Clive bent down and gave her a passionate but quick kiss "now my love I think it's about time for our dance" Gladys smirked at him while he help her stand "now don't be standing on my feet I would want any broken toes now" he laugh as she slapped him on the arm.

they swayed slowly gazing into each other's eyes, forgetting where they were and everyone around them - I don't want to miss one smile, I don't want to miss one kiss, Well, I just want to be with you, Right here with you, just like this, I just want to hold you close, Feel your heart so close to mine, And stay here in this moment, For all the rest of time- they let the music block out the sounds around them, it was just them, them and only them no one else. It was the happiest moment of both their lives nothing could change that.

Gladys and Clive hugged their family and friends thanking them for all the support, then they left and head to a exspensive but local hotel that night and left.

Gladys slowly woke unable to move she was worried for a second forgetting where she was then turned her head to see a very sexy, naked Clive next to her witch made her smile his strong arms draped over her his dark chocolate eyes looking at her

'Well good morning beautiful" he smiled as he kissed her lips lightly then softly left little kisses down her neck

A soft moan escaped Gladys Lips "morning"

"What did you want to do today?" Gladys and Clive had spent a week in the small down next to Maplins and had another two weeks left

"Stay in bed...sleep... And other fun actives" she giggled

"We have been doing that for the last few days, how about a walk along the beach?" Clive suggested

"Sounds good" Gladys nodded her head. they spent another half hour in bed before getting up and getting ready.

They sat On the beach wrapped up in each other's arms as they watched the beautiful sun set.

"Have you thought about us having any children?" Clive asked Gladys breaking the comfortable silence they were in

This question took Gladys by surprise "what? we haven't even been married 5 minutes and you're already talking about children," Gladys was shocked but Clive chuckled.

"Well I would like to start a family with you Gladys Dempster "

Gladys cut him off and turned to face him "you're not having second thoughts are you?"

"no, no nothing like that it's just well I mean...I want a big family" Clive Glanced into Gladys dark eyes

realising this convocation was getting serious and that her answer would probably upset him she took a deep breath "well um I haven't thought about it but I guess I do want kids I mean who doesn't want or like kids" Clive sighed in relief "but not at the moment I mean I have a career now that I dreamed of and your career we both will be working really long hours together"

"Wait so you're not going to stay at home with our children?"

"yes but I'm not going to be a stay at home mother I'm not that sort of person but that doesn't mean I don't want any kids just not right now"

Clive got up and started to walk to the nearest bar "I'll meet you at the hotel room later I just need some time to think"

" wait...Clive...I..." Gladys called out to Clive who ignored her, sighing as she looked down at the pebbled beach

Clive walked into the hotel hours later to find Gladys passed out on the sofa he bent down and kissed her temple then walked into their room to change but found their bags half packed and clothes spread out all over that place "GLADYS" Clive shouted which woke Gladys.

Gladys bit her lip as she slowly sat up "oh my god my back is killing me" she rubbed her eyes "Clive what's going on why are you shouting"

"What the hell is going on?Why are our bags packed?" Clive asked confused as he glanced at the half packed bags and the rest of the clothes sewn a cross the floor.

"Oh yes that... Well you see Joe Maplin called me and they are desperate and extremely short staffed back at work"

"Is there no one else... jeez Glad I didn't realize you and I were the only Yellowcoat and manager on this planet" Clive raised his voice

"We're the only ones available and the only ones who have the skilled authority to do this I'm sorry but I'm going with or without you" Gladys slowly stood wincing at the pain in her back

Clive's eyes softened and he helped her to bed "Fine whatever Glad".

Gladys and Clive were on the road home the next morning

End flash back-

Gladys wiped away her tears that appeared when she remember their honey moon she looked over at Clive who was snoring softy, putting their wedding album down, then over to her clock sighing she got out of bed and got ready for the morning announcements , kissing Clive before she got up and had a shower.
