The Town of Derry

Wedding

~ 2 Years Later ~

I stood at the end of the isle, beside my mom in her beautiful wedding gown.

Richie and Ben across from me on the grooms side, I smiled as my mom held hands with the man she loved. Saying their vows, and having their first kiss as newly weds.

My mom and now step dad, walked down the isle, as everyone blew bubbles and white flowers dropped from the ceiling to celebrate their marriage.

Ben, Rich and I linked arms as we walked behind them out the building.

"Picture time" the photographer said as the was clicking the photo button throughout the ceremony, and as everyone hugged and congratulated Our mom & Dad.

"Hey hey hey" Stanley said as he hugged me, then hugged my mom "congratulations Mrs, Tozier" he smiled, my mom rubbed his back as they hugged.

"Oh and happy 2 years!" She said to Stanley and I, I smiled and hugged my mom again.

Ever since she started dating Rich's dad, we've become closer, our bond as been fixed. We went to therapy together, to talk about the passing of my Dad, and to heal the fights we've had. My moms no longer mad at me for quitting church, but she respects my choice, and I still pray with her every night.

"Hi my handsome" Eddie smiled as he hugged Richie "oh there's Richard and his boyfriend!" Mr.Tozier said as he drug Rich's grandma over to us, I hugged Eddie, and Bev, and watched rich get smothered by his grandmother.

I watched as my mom laughed with friends and family, the amount of kisses my new dad got from her. The hugs, the smiles, the jokes, it all made me so happy to see her so happy.

"You guys are next" my mom joked as she got into the car to have a 'finale' fair well before the party tonight. "No way" I chuckled as Stanley grabbed my hand, Ben and Richie stood beside me, Beverly was standing with Bill, Mike and Eddie behind us as we waved goodbye.

~ later that night ~

Beverly and I changed into cocktail dresses, and the guys stayed in their formal wear.

Bev and I set up some final touches to the venue, and made sure everything was in their right spot.

"What table are we at?" Beverly asked, "we're sitting just beside the bride and groom" i pointed to the table where we will be at.

"Perfect" I said as we stood at the entrance, "perfect indeed" Stanley said as he hugged me from behind, "goes for thought too Beverly" Ben said as they hugged, "so, now Richies our brother" Ben chuckled, "yep, I'm excited.. although I'm moving in a month, I'm still excited to call him my brother" I kissed Stanley's cheek as my moms limo pulled up.

Everyone gathered outside as we greeted them.

The night was amazing, watching their first dance, having a father daughter dance with Wentworth, Watching my mom have a shared dance with Rich and Ben, dancing with Stan, and laughing with my friends. I'm gonna miss them, but this move is for the best..

We all have to leave this town eventually, and I'm 20 now.. This is needed.

"I'm gonna miss you guyssss" I hugged them as we stood at the doorway, "this was so fun, reminds me of your 18th birthdays" Beverly said as she hugged Ben and I.

I'm regretting moving to a big city, but Stan and I need this?
