From the ceremonial hall, the guests walked into the hall where the real party was about to be held. The hall was decorated with white curtains and tulle, the tables were spread all over the place, except on the dance floor, all adorned with white tablecloths and silver cutlery. A long table stood in front of a long window through which sunlight filtered. The guests all sat in their assigned seats, except the bride and groom, who had yet to arrive. When everyone was seated, the waiters began to serve the appetizers.
"What happened to them?" Skyler asked starting to cut her salty pastry. Mindy said, "Maybe they'll make an effect entrance." "Probably, my aunt Margaret did the same thing at her wedding." Rita answered and then took a sip of champagne. At that moment, Hugo took a microphone, stood in the center of the dance floor and announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, here is Mr. and Mrs. Brostovitch-Mcfinnigan!" At that moment, the couple entered the hall smiling, while a resounding applause rose in the hall. When it was over, the newlyweds took their reserved seats.
"Finally, you're arrived, we were starting to worry." Brody told them smiling. Rudy replied, "No need to Brody, Scarlett needed to change her shoes." "It is not easy to dance with heel 12." added the redhead and then put a piece of puff pastry in her mouth. The guests and the bride and groom continued to chat and eat, when then, at the moment of the second course, Hugo called Rudy and Scarlett to the center of the dancefloor, then announced: "Give a big round of applause to Scarlett and Rudy and their first dance!" At that moment, Janana put Elton John's "Can you feel the love tonight" on the computer connected to the speakers, and the couple embraced tenderly as they started to whirl in the center of the dance floor, never letting eachother go. The bridesmaids and best men hugged, some with tears in their eyes, like Skyler and Brody, who had fogged glasses, and some tried to hold them, like Whiff, but without success.
Scooter got bored of the song quickly, so swiftly sneaked close to Janana's station, and while she was turned, the skater took the opportunity to change song. The guests in the room noticed the change of track, the couple stopped, but soon started dancing again as they recognized the song: "I'm a believer" by Smash Mouth. The two invited all the guests to dance on the dance floor, the bridesmaids, best men and the parents of the spouses began to dance energetically, the rhythm was so catchy, even the grumpy Quinn let herself go, along with Cori, Jojo, Gremmie and the other closers. Duke filmed some events, even funny ones, like Fernanda and Franco singing "Proud Mary" arm in arm, Quinn who was dancing Macarena, causing the hilarity of the other closers and chefs, Scarlett throwing the bouquet behind her , as the bridesmaid hardently fought to be granted by the coveted prize. Eventually, the bouquet exploded in midair, so that every girl in the room had at least one rose, and Fitz said with a smile: "Modestly, it's the prototype of my invention that will always keep friendship between the bridesmaids intact." Then, Clair, Vincent and Sasha also began to go wild in the YMCA dance, while the waiters continued to serve the tables with encores of side dishes and desserts. Shannon took several photographs instead. The bridesmaids and best men who were dancing with their respective partner: Penny with Alberto, Skyler with Brody, Mindy with Whiff, Rhonda with Rico, Marty with Rita. Rudy who danced with her mother and Scarlett with her father, the bride's father and husband who kissed her on the cheeks, one on the left one and the other on the right one, Rudy receiving the same treatment from Scarlett and her mother, the bride and groom cutting the cake unaware that Greg and Yippie from behind were stealing fingerprints of icing and buttercream.
The guests and the bride and groom danced and enjoyed themselves as they had never done in their lives. It was two in the morning when the party was over and everyone went back to their hotel to sleep and soak up the hangover. The couple, however, were far from tired, so, after they had brushed their teeth, they stayed a while longer to admire the moon and the stars in the sky, embracing each other. "The moon is so beautyful." Scarlett commented keeping her head resting on her husband's shoulder, who replied while stroking her hair: "Never as much as you berrybun." "Can't you believe that we are now officially husband and wife?" Scarlett asked raising her head to her now-husband, who replied, "Oh yes." Scarlett became sad at that moment: "Now that we're married what will happen? Should we change our habits? Our interests? Do you think I should stop wearing the Disney princess underwear?" "Absolutely not." Rudy answered dryly placing his hands on his wife's shoulders and looking into her eyes. Then he continued smiling: "We will continue to do what we will do before, only now we will be more united." He kissed her gently on the cheek, earning a smile from the redhead, who then yawned: "Now I'm sleepy enough. Shall we go to sleep?" "Sure thing berrybun." Rudy replied, taking her bride style, and walking towards the four-poster bed that awaited them. Once under the covers, the redhead fell asleep immediately, while Rudy was still awake for a few minutes. "She's always so cute when she sleeps. I should do the same." He wrapped his arms around his new wife, gave her one last kiss on her hair, then fell asleep, delighted with the good turn their relationship had taken.
