It was the day that Randy had been waiting for all year, ever since he proposed to Lauren a year earlier at their high school gradation. Randy had been voted valedictorian of his class and decided it would be romantic to ask Lauren to marry him on stage in front of their friends and family and of course she said yes.
Jill bounded up the stairs to wake her sleeping son "Randy wake up today's the big day".
"Mum do you know what time it is" asked an extremely tired Randy.
"Eight, get up, we have a lot to do before 4pm"
"Ok, ok, I'm getting up"
Randy walked down stairs tiredly. His father and brothers were all down stairs eating breakfast. Brad had flown in from California for the big day, Mark was the only kid still living at home, as Randy and Lauren lived in Boston because they both attend Harvard University.
"Morin little bro" Brad greeted "I can't believe today's your wedding day, I thought I'd get married first" Brad joked
"Hey how's my little man" Tim asked
"Dad I'm not a little kid anymore, please stop calling me that"
"Ok, I guess you're not as your getting married to day"
After a nice family breakfast the Taylor family sat down and reminisced about everything they had been threw together on the past 21 years.
At lunch Randy started to get nervous that in 4 hours he would be getting married to the women he loved. He took his dad into the garage to took to him
"Hey, Dad is it normal to feel likes this on your wedding day, nerves but also joy as well"
"Yeah Randy that who I felt on my wedding day, you'll get over it when you see Lauren walking down the aisle
"Thanks dad that helped a lot"
It was now 12pm and the needed to start to get ready. Up in his old room, Randy started to put his tuxedo on. He started to think about everything they'd been through him and Lauren. When they'd first met, Costa Rica and of course their engagement. He taught how lucky he was to have her. As he put on his suit jacket, his mother walked in and was cooing all over him. "Oh my god Randy, look how handsome you look"
"Thanks mum"
We'd better hurry up the wedding starts in 2 hours.
Randy looked at his old room one more remembering all the times as a child when he played up here, with his brothers and friends He thought that this would be the last time he would sleep here a single man. As he walked down stairs he saw Paul his best friend, Mark and Brad in their tuxes. Tim walked over and hugged Randy. Randy walked over Brad his best man he asked him "You got the rings right please don't tell me you lost them"
"Relax I have them right here"
"Phew, but don't lose the please, you know what happened when you were the best man at you friends wedding. We spent hours looking for the rings"
"Yeah, I know at least we found them, Randy I still can't believe your getting married today you're only nineteen"
"Yeah I know man" At that moment Jill came in hurrying them to get in the car to hurry them up. "We need to be there by three"
"Mum it's only 2.00" Mark said
"Fine we'll leave in half an hour, but lets talk for the next 30 minuets it';; ne fun"
"Fine the men grumbled"
They sat down talked about how they felt about Randy getting married, his childhood again, Jill even brought out pictures of him as a kid. Then exactly ay 2.30 the left for the church.
Half an hour later they arrived the church, and Randy was extremely nervous. He paced up and down his room his brothers tried to calm him down "Look, I'm nervous, you would be to when you get married. It was the slowest hour of a Randy's life.
Then it was time Randy walked down to the altar, and waited. As he stood there memories of when he was a little boy and teenager came back to her she started to sob.
