Antonio & Harlow

20- ♡♡ I do ♡♡

It was the day before the wedding, Antonio finally got his parents into the hotel after Giorgia kept fighting with him all week about staying there. After getting them settled into their room, Antonio and Ethan left to pick up their tuxes, while Harlow left with her mom and Gemma to set up the reception hall.

"How do I look?" Antonio asked, as he stood in front of the mirror adjusting his collar.

"With your eyes," Ethan chuckled.

Antonio laughed as he turned his head toward Ethan. "Very funny... seriously, how do I look?"

"You look just fine; my sister will be happy." He looked at the mirror, checked himself out and smiled. "Damn I look sexy in a tux... you know, I could see myself working at a tux store... it suits me," he said turning and looking at Antonio with a grin. "What do you think? Do you think I'll get lucky tomorrow?" he asked raising an eyebrow and grinning from ear to ear.

Antonio gave him a shove, then put him into a headlock and began giving him a noogie. "You just behave yourself tomorrow. It's bad enough I have to worry about my mother behaving." He released Ethan from his grip and chuckled. "We better go finish getting our stuff done."

Antonio and Ethan removed their tuxes and headed for their next stop, the flower store.

"What's after this?" Ethan asked after Antonio finished paying for the flowers.

Antonio raked his fingers through his hair and looked over at Ethan. "I think all my shit is done," he said pulling out his list from his top pocket and looked through it, checking off all he's done. "We can go get a bump quick, if you want," he said, seeing everything he needed to do was done.

Ethan quickly put on his seatbelt and nudged Antonio's shoulder. "Let's go, now that I'm finally of age, we can go to the bars anytime."

"Just relax, we can have one, maybe two. We have the rehearsal dinner tonight and we can't be plastered... if we were to be, your sister will have both our nuts and I plan on having kids with her right away, so that wouldn't be a good thing to show up at the rehearsal dinner looking like a couple drunken idiots."

"That's true, I'd like to have kids someday too. So, I'll be needing mine as well," he grinned.

Harlow finished helping her mother and Gemma set up the reception hall and couldn't be any more excited for the next day to come. They then headed out to get ready for the rehearsal dinner. "What are you doing tonight for the meals?" Charlotte asked.

"We decided to order a bunch of pizzas. I didn't feel like doing anything special being this wedding has already cost us so much."

"One good thing about it is, you have someone that can afford it," Gemma smiled.

"True... but that doesn't mean I can go out spending money that we don't need to be and I don't want to be looked at like someone who flaunts their money. I just want us to be normal, like everyone else. There's always the what if, if something were to happen, you know?"

Charlotte looked behind her and over to Gemma. "She learned that from me," she giggled. "I've always told her that money doesn't grow on trees and to treat money like you don't have a penny to spend."

"That's cool, but I still say she's the luckiest woman I know and can afford to buy whatever she wants. I just wish I could meet a man like that," she giggled.

Hours later, the girls had just finished setting up outside for the dinner, when the guests started arriving. Harlow was starting to get nervous when the two people who should have been there already, were missing in action. Giorgia walked up to Harlow looking concerned. "Where's my son?"
