As the priest talked and Molly and Ryan said their vows. I watched them in awh, a smile stayed on my face and my eyes never left them.
   
Until I looked at the groomsmen. Cole was looking at me smiling, Gage and Jake were also watching Molly and Ryan. I looked at the crowd, my eyes started with the front row but didn't make it far as Benjamin caught my eye. He was staring at me smirking. I squinted my eyes at him, trying to figure out what he wants.
   
"And you may now, kiss the bride." The priest said, closing his book. Ryan wrapped his hand behind Molly's neck, under her bun of curls and kissed her. Everyone started to cheer as Benjamin and I was still staring at each other. Ryan picked Molly up and ran down the steps, coming in between us. I looked at Cole as he grabbed my hand and we followed them outside.
   
"I can't wait till you agree to get married." Cole said before kiss my head as we watched Ryan place Molly into the limo, taking them to the center to celebrate the rest of the ceremony.
   
Everyone packed their cars and went to the venue Molly and Ryan were having the rest of the ceremony at.
   
We watched her father give her their dance, her first dance married to Ryan, and a couple of other special dances that meant something to her. We been here for almost 5 hours now, everyone was out dancing as I was sitting at our table, picking at the mash potato with my fork.
   
"Hey, why aren't you out there?" I looked up to see Benjamin sitting across from me. "I'm not really the dancing type when I'm sobber." I shrugged my shoulders as we stared at each other. "So why aren't you drunk, you certainly were a lot funner the other night." Benjamin smirked as I rolled my eyes.
   
"Okey well first of all, I don't think 'funner' is a word and second of all, I don't get drunk that offen."
   
"Funner is a word." Ben squinted his eyes as he looked at me, only replying one part of my sentence. "I mean if you're stupid than I guess it is." I took a sip of my soda as Benjamin gave a face as he acted hurt. "Ouch, my feelings are hurt." He placed his hand over his heart as he looked at me. "Oh, do you need me to call an ambulance?"
   
"I- you are annoying, my god." We laughed as he shook his head. "Molly and Cole tell me all the time, you're late buddy." We laughed a little more. We sat and talked until Cole decided it was time to go home.
   
Those were the first few hours I actually had a regular conversation with Benjamin since I met him. He had a good personally under all his bullshit.
