The reception was just as beautiful as they all imagined, it was modern with an asthetic feel to it.
Taylor had changed out of her wedding gown into a white lace dress. They had already done wedding photos and she wanted to be able to dance.
The second they appeared through the door, hand in hand, everyone cheered as the dj announced them. They started out by simply sitting down to talk and have a drink. Soon they found their selves listening to speeches from there friends. The maid of honor went first, Selena to be exact.
Before she started her speech, she rose her glass up and took a big gulp out of it, pointing it at the newly weds.
"I have known Taylor for seems like forever, we have had the best of times, sleepovers, getting drunk, talking about boys. As all of that is fun, she has went through some nasty break ups." Selena smiled at Taylor as she saw her lean into Joe. "The last couple relationships she had were tough on her but when she randomly text me about this hot British guy she was so giddy and excited." Selena air quoted hot British guy. She got some laughs out of most of the crowd. "I was sceptical as any best friend would , when I did meet Joe for the first time I saw how much he cared and Loved Taylor. A single glance and you could tell they are in love. I love you both, to Taylor and Joe!" They clapped and Selena got off the stage.
Joe's best man went next.
"The first time I met Taylor was in a bar. Joe introduced me to her around six months of them dating. Sge was so done to earth and not in any way rude or snobby. Those short few months they were together you could tell they were falling for each other. I pulled both of them aside, separately, one day to ask them if they were in love and both of them said yes but I don't know if she feels that way or yes but I don't know if he feels the same. They didn't know that they had the same answers until today but I hope you two have a wonderful marriage life."
The rest of the night consists of Taylor dancing with her parents and Joe doing the same with his mom and dad. At one point Selena dragged Taylor on the dance floor when shake it off came on.
Joe laughed as he saw his what he can now call his wife and her best friend trying to come up with dance moves. Once slower songs come on Joe and Taylor naturally gravitate to the middle of the stage and lean on each other. Joe has his hands on Taylor's waist and Taylor's hands are looped over his neck with her head leaning on Joe's shoulder.
"I love you."
Taylor lifts her head up from his chest and looks in his eyes before kissing him.
"I love you too, forever and always." They continue to sway back about forth and when up beat songs come on they have all of their friends and family come with them to dance.
"I have to go to the restroom, I'll be back." Taylor slightly slurs her words from a few to many drinks.
"Do you need me to come with you? You seem a bit drunk, love."
"I'm not drunk Joe. Go talk to your friends or get me more wine. Yeah I want wine, do that." She pats his shoulder and walks the other direction Joe just stands there and chuckled to himself, she's to cute when she's drunk.
Taylor, not knowing or really caring where she's walking, just turned a random door knob. She let out a scream as did the people in the closet. "Patrick! And Ella?! Oh God, get your clothes on now and wait until I get back!" The two teenagers scurried to cover themselves back up as Taylor left to go find Joe. Once she spotted him she ran over to him and almost fell over due to her four inch heels.
"Whoa there, slow down. What do you need?"
"Patrick and my cousin were in a closet having sex and I don't know what to do." Joe's eyes went wife but still nodded.
"Okay, I guess let's go talk to them, they are definitely to young for that."
Taylor giggled and Joe gives her a weird look. "What?"
"Joe I lost my virginity at nineteen."
"And you also gave told me regret that, plus you're still drunk you have no say in this miss one more drink won't hurt."
Taylor laughed again and showed Joe where she found them. "Over there." She pointed and they found both Patrick and Ella standing there not knowing what to do. When Patrick saw his big brother approaching he started getting scared.
Patrick tried to say something but Joe stopped him.
"All I want to know is why and did you use protection?"
"We like each other so that's why and um no we didn't."
Taylor put her head in her hands and took a deep breath.
"Come here Ella." She took her younger cousins wrist and walked away from the two brothers.
"Do you realize that since you didn't do anything to protect your selves you could be pregnant?"
"People do the same thing all of the time yet they don't get pregnant. How is this any different? You and Joe do it."
"This isn't about me and Joe, but to answer your question most of the women you're talking about are on birth control. As am I. You have to tell your mother or I am got it?" Ella shyly nods and a tear slips out of her eye.
"Oh honey, its okay. Come here." Taylor wraps his arms around her seventeen year old cousin and holds her.
"What if my parents kick me out, you know how religious they are." She sniffs then looks at Taylor.
"Then you can live with us or something. You're almost out of the house anyway, try to calm yourself down though. Let's go fix your makeup." She grabs Ella's hand and leads her into the restroom.
"Wipe your eyes and put more mascara on." Taylor hands her the makeup and watches her apply it. Once her eyes aren't running Taylor takes her hands and places them on both of Ella's cheeks.
"You are so beautiful. Don't cry anymore, it's not worth it. How about this, if somehow you do fall pregnant then you can stay with me and Joe in America okay? But until then just keep this a secret."
"That sounds a lot better, thanks Tay."
"No problem." One last hug and they go to find Joe and Patrick.
"Do you realize how much trouble you will be in if you got a girl pregnant? Is that not comprehensive in your head?" Joe looks up to see Taylor looking at him.
"Joe come with me for a second." Taylor drags him to the other side of the room and holds both of his hands, looking into his eyes. "I know this is a big deal and I know she can possibly become pregnant but that doesn't mean yell at your brother. They made a dumb mistake, we all do. I told Ella that unless she finds out she is pregnant that this could be our secret, but if she turns out to be, her parents are very religious and will most likely kick her out so I said we could let her live with us until she can get back on her two own feet. Okay?"
"Yeah." He sighs and kisses her cheek.
"Go tell him that so we can enjoy the next few hours."
I'll be making a part three for there honeymoon
