Thunder In the Rain ~ Kane Brown Love Story Sequel

Mr. & Mrs. (Part 1)

*Sawyer's POV*

It was bright and early as I sat perched on a chair in a cheesy robe reading 'Bride' on the back. We had arrived at the venue early, intending to do our behind the scenes photo sessions while we got ready. My manager had pulled out all the stops and, as a last minute wedding gift, had sent not just my stylist out to Georgia but also an entire team of professionals for hair and makeup.

Our wedding photographers split between Kane and my group. Our photographer took shots of us getting our hair and makeup done, and she took pictures of my dress hanging up. I sat in the chair, getting my hair curled and pinned into place how I wanted it. My stylist had run off, talking about one final touch that was needed and had come back with some baby's breath that they had stolen out of one of the table centerpieces. The little flowers were strung through my hair, giving it the perfect touch.

With my makeup done and touched up, the time came around to slip into my dress. We had seen guests pulling in and arriving all morning. The girls were enjoying spying out the window and giggling whenever they saw other musicians. Of course we invited them, most of them Kane had looked up to, he had toured with, or they had influenced his growing career. My heart drummed out of my chest as my father came into the room while the girls exited to line up. 

"You look beautiful." Dad said, biting his lip as tears brimmed his eyes. So that's where I got that habit.

"You think so?" I asked and he nodded, "Dad. I'm nervous."

"It's gonna be alright. He'll be waiting for you up there." He shook his head, "I can't believe I'm givin' you away. Seems like just yesterday you thought boys still had cooties. Could'a kept it that way a little longer."

"Dad! Please no embarrassing stories today." I laughed

The manager came running back and led us to our position behind my bridesmaids and the groomsmen but still tucked back so Kane couldn't see. They all turned and smiled just before Alex and Emmeryse stepped off and down the aisle, holding their bouquets. Wait. Where did I put my bouquet? I paniced and looked around until the manager of the venue came running up with it. I sighed in relief as I took it from him.

As the last of thre bridesmaids and groomsmen took their places, we heard the crowd of people hush and rise to their feet. My heart beat even louder in my ears and I hesitated.

"Dad." I said, "Don't let me trip. I'm in heels."

Dad let out a chuckle as we turned the corner, coming into full view of the crowded deck. There was a sea of faces, some stretching to catch a first glimpse of me. I scanned the crowd as dad patiently waited for me to take the first step myself. My eyes finally landed on Kane at the end of the aisle. His mouth had dropped and turned upright into a smile as he ducked his head down, shaking it. He looked back up, eyes and smile both bright as he looked at me. He was in an all dark suit. His shirt was a dark teal with a black suit jacket and bow-tie. The smile on my face grew and I took the first step.

*Kane's POV*

I saw Sawyer's father come around before I saw her. When she came into view, I was blown away. Her hair was pinned up, but a few strands fell loosely curled, framing her face. Her dress was gorgeous as it looked perfectly made for her. I remembered Emmeryse complaining before about how it wasn't flashy or expensive looking, but to me it was perfect for Sawyer. And I didn't think she needed anything with sparkles or shiny to look stunning.

Her father took her hands and brought them to his lips. I took a step down and held out my hand. He placed her hand in mine and I helped her up the short two steps. She turned, handing her bouquet to Emmeryse, who was beaming, and turned back to me. I looked her over, grinning, and squeezed her hands reassuringly. She reached up and straightened my tie slightly, causing a roar of laughter through the crowd and all our nerves to disappear. 

The officiant began the ceremony, allowing us to turn and light the candle in the middle, behind him, using our family's candles. Once that was done, he began going through the motions of the ceremony. We recited our vows and Alex slipped me Sawyer's ring with the thin wedding band while Emmeryse gave Sawyer my wedding band, and we placed them on one another. 

The officiant said the words I'd been waiting for since Sawyer walked down the aisle, and I leaned down, kissing her. We pulled back and faced the crowd. Sawyer took her bouquet back from Emmeryse, and I slipped my hand into my wife's. The crowd of our family and friends cheered as we exited down the aisle. Once we were out, I pulled Sawyer into my arms.

"We're married!" I shouted, hearing laughs from our wedding party.

Our wedding photographers came out, and we walked outside to shoot our wedding photos. We made our way around the vineyard, snapping pictures anywhere and everywhere. We took photos with the groomsmen and bridesmaids and some with our families.

After nearly an hour, we decided that we were too hungry to wait for anymore pictures and made our way back to the reception.

*Sawyer's POV*

We walked up the steps, finding that we could hear the crowd but not the music. It's probably nothing. I took a breath as our Master of Ceremony announced that the wedding party had returned. The manager of the venue was down the hall, speaking with one of his staff members while nervously wringing his hands together.

"Hey. It's probably nothin'. Don't worry about it, Mrs. Brown." Kane whispered

"Yeah." I turned to him smiling, "I like the sound of that."

The Master of Veremony announced the groomsmen and the bridesmaids in reverse order, as they came in for the wedding, as they walked in and took a seat at the wedding party's table. I held Sawyer's hand as they announced us.

"And now I present the newly weds! Mr. and Mrs. Kane and Sawyer Brown!" he announced

Everyone had been standing and clapping as we entered. A few whistles could be heard spread throughout the many tables filled with near two hundred guests. We made it to the front, but before we could sit down, the manager pulled us to the side, and the MC approached us.

"We have a bit of a situation." The manager fretted

"What'd'ya mean?" Kane asked, confused

"The music won't play. We checked all the connections and they were working just fine the other day when I went through the playlist, but now we don't have any audio. Only the microphones are working." The MC explained

"What's going on?" Granger Smith's head popped into the circle as he wrapped an arm around Kane, who began filling him in.

"We are so sorry for this happening. We will take a discount off of the expenses, and -" The manager rambled

"You said that the microphones are working, right?" Granger asked

"Yeah, they work with the speakers, but the music won't play." the MC confirmed

"That discount won't be needed. We've got an idea. Give us a few minutes." Kane said

I was confused as Kane pulled off his suit jacket and rolled up the sleeves to his dress shirt. He handed me his jacket. The manger looked as confused as I was. Granger Smith went off and grabbed some of the other country singers that had been invited. A few of them ran out of the venue to their cars. Kane spoke to his band members and had all of the wedding party hop off the stage where the table was sitting. Two of his band members ran off while the others stayed behind. The other country artists that hadn't left the room stood and removed their jackets, rolling up their sleeves, as well.

"What're they doing?" I asked Emmeryse

"Beats me. It's your husband." Emmeryse said as we watched

I know this one is a little longer than the others, and I'm still not done with the wedding scene so I've made it two parts. Do you have any idea what Kane's doing?
