Lizzie was about ready to kill all four women who were in her apartment. She
knew they were excited, she was too, but she was going to kill them. She
understood it was only a week until the wedding and there was still so much
to do, but she was tired and wanted them to leave. Miranda who had noticed
Lizzie's change in attitude suddenly became her knight in shining armor.
"Hey guys, why don't we go and get something to eat, we've been at this all
afternoon and I know Lizzie needs her sleep." She said giving Lizzie a wink.
"Your right Miranda, we'll get out of your hair dear, see you tomorrow."
Jo McGuire said. She kissed Lizzie on the cheek and then went to the door,
"See you tomorrow, get some sleep." Miranda's mother said. "I will. See you
guys tomorrow." "Say hi to Gordo for us." Mrs. Gordon said as she left.
Lizzie smiled and turned to Miranda as she left. "I knew there was a reason
you were my best friend." Miranda laughed, "nothing to it, we'll see you
tomorrow." She waved and then Lizzie shut the door.
Her couch looked so inviting so she went and plopped herself down on it.
It seemed like a few seconds later that there was a knock on her door. She
grumbled her whole way to the door until she opened it up. She breathed a
sigh of relief and hauled Gordo into her apartment. "Rough day?" he asked
with a smirk. She lost her smile, "They are going to kill me. I swear I'm
going to have a brain aneurysm at the age of twenty-two." She growled. "Well
you know statistically..." "Shut up!" "Gottcha. So is there anything I can do?"
he asked, very sincere. Her smile returned, "Yes there is. I have been trying
that dress on all day and may back itches like you wouldn't believe." She gave
him that smile that made him want to do anything for her, so he shook his head,
"No problem." She kissed him on the cheek, "Thank you." "Yeah, well I better
get more than a kiss on a cheek after I'm through." He grumbled. She laughed,
"You do a really great job and there is no telling what you will get." Gordo
did his Groucho Marx imitation, but Lizzie had already turned her back to him
so he could start scratching.
They sat on the floor in front of the television, old reruns of the X-Files
were on, and Gordo was still scratching her back. Finally Lizzie moved her
neck to the side and said thank you. "Your more than welcome." He said and
then moved to the over-stuffed chair. Lizzie turned her head around and
looked indignant. He patted his lap with invitation to join him, and she
did just like he knew she would. Lizzie wasn't sure what it was about
wrapping her arms around him, sitting in his lap, and laying her head
on his shoulder, but she always fell asleep. Not that she had done it
that often, but the results were always the same and tonight was no
different. Although this time Gordo hadn't stayed awake and fell asleep
along with her.
It was the cramped leg and the coolness on her arm that made her wake up.
She moved her leg bumping Gordo's knee in the process. He moved his head to
the other side, but other wise stayed asleep. Lizzie would have laughed at
herself, except she was too tired and not thinking clearly. She only knew
she wanted to get into her bed and under the covers. She stood up and
stretched and then pulled on Gordo's arm until he was awake enough to
follow her.
Lizzie felt something warm against her back and a bright light on her face.
She turned away from the light to face Gordo. She smiled at him, but he was
sound asleep. It was then she heard an 'ahem'. Lizzie jumped and looked
straight ahead at her mother. "Mom!" Lizzie exclaimed. Her mother looked
at her waiting for an answer. Jo knew deep down in her heart that she
couldn't dictate what Lizzie and Gordo did, but Lizzie was still her
little girl, her only little girl. She looked over to Gordo who was still
asleep and had an arm in Lizzie's lap since she had sat up and gave him the
once over. "Mom, this isn't what it looks like. I don't even remember coming
in here last night. We probably just fell asleep." She looked at her mother
imploring her to understand. Her mother still had a skeptical look on her
face. "Look, why don't we eat breakfast and talk about it." Lizzie suggested.
Her mother nodded and left the room. Lizzie blew out a breath of relief and
then turned to Gordo who was still completely zonked. She knew he had been
tired when he came over yesterday, being a med. student is never easy, or
so she was learning. She looked over at her clock and noticed it had just
turned 8:15, she kissed Gordo's head and let him sleep.
She still had the clothes on she was wearing yesterday, which thank goodness
were her pajamas because getting wrinkles out of suits were expensive. She
yawned and then went into the kitchen where her mother had already started
breakfast. She smiled to herself; it had been a long time since she had had
a homemade breakfast. The last one was five months ago when during Spring
Break she went home and her mother had made breakfast one morning. She went
to the refrigerator and pulled out the carton of orange juice that she bought
yesterday, went to the cupboard and pulled out a mug and poured some. "Do
you want any?" she asked. "No thank you, sweetie." Jo said. "I have coffee
if you want some, I keep it because of Gordo..." she stopped. Her mother
turned to look at her, "Mom, look at me, I'm still in the same clothes I
was when you left. Gordo came over right after you left. We were watching
The X-Files and fell asleep. I think I remember going to bed but that is
all that happened. We haven't...you know...done it...yet. We're saving it
for when we get married." She looked up at her mother hoping she believed
her.
Her mother cocked her head and ran her hand through her daughter's hair,
"I believe you sweetheart, it was just a shock to see it. I guess I just
realized that my baby is grown up. You moved to Texas, are getting your
degree in Law, are getting married. Soon you will be having a career and
starting your own family." Lizzie smiled, "Yeah, but always be your little
girl." Her mother laughed, "Yes you will be, even when you are eighty."
Lizzie laughed and stood up and gave her mother a huge hug. A few minutes
later a very disheveled Gordo came stumbling into the kitchen. "Morning
Lizzie, morning Mrs. McGuire." He said, then turned around, "Mrs. McGuire?"
he sounded panic. "Don't worry Gordo, Lizzie explained everything, would you
like to have some breakfast?" she asked. Gordo had smelled the food, which
is one of the reasons he woke up, "Yes, I would love some," the other was
because Lizzie had left and he missed that warmth. Lord, if he was this
gushy in the morning he wondered what it would be like... nevermind, it
was best not to get aroused with her mother right there.
"I'm going to go take a shower." He announced as he went to the bedroom.
Once they decided when the wedding was, they decided to get a new place and
found one that was just right in a beautiful complex. Lizzie's lease came up
at the end of June at her old apartment so she had moved in first. He waited
for his roommate to get another one, which he did find. So Gordo would officially
be moved in here in five days. It really worked out perfectly. "Thank-you God."
He said and then went into the bathroom to take his shower.
North East Mall
4:07 PM
Miranda and Lizzie had decided to go shopping so that Lizzie could blow off
steam, it seems everyone has an opinion as to how her wedding should be.
Miranda had suggested that her and Lizzie go out for dinner and shopping,
leaving the mothers to converse. They were on their way to Lerner's when
Lizzie told Miranda about this morning. "So?" Miranda asked. "So What?"
Lizzie asked back. "You know darn good and well what. How did you like it?"
she asked. "Which part?" Lizzie shot back looking through some very cute
jean jackets and shirts. "Sitting on his lap? Sleeping with him?" An older
woman looked at the two girls, "Could you say it any louder?" she asked as
she went to look at some pants and other shirts. "I could, but answer my
questions." Lizzie turned to look at her and smiled, "I loved every part.
It was nice waking up this morning with him spooning me like that. Made me
feel very safe, warm, loved." She said with her grin becoming bigger. Miranda
grinned back at her, "Hopeless Romantic." "Hopeful romantic." She corrected.
"Still watching Romancing the Stone?" "Of course." Lizzie said. Miranda
looked at her and then got an idea into her head.
"So Lizzie, do you have anything picked out for the wedding night?" she
asked. Lizzie knew that Miranda was trying to get her to blush, "No, not
yet." "Then come on, lets go find something." Miranda exclaimed and dragged
Lizzie out of Lerners and over to Victoria Secrets. It was fun, to be looking
at this stuff with a friend. Lizzie really missed Miranda at times like
these. It wasn't that she didn't have any girl friends, but none of them
really knew the history where Gordo was concerned, so talking to them about
this wasn't very easy.
She was about to say something when she saw IT. IT was the perfect nightgown.
She walked over to it and fingered the hunter green satin material. "You do
know how to pick 'em." Miranda said. "This is beautiful." Lizzie said, she
then looked at the price tag, of course it was beautiful. "Oh well." Lizzie
said and then moved on to find something else, which she eventually did. It
was a beautiful sapphire floor-length nightgown and it was also satin, but
it wasn't near as beautiful as the hunter green one was. Of course it didn't
cost 100.00$ either.
They shopped for a couple more hours and then made dinner plans. Gordo was
going to get away from the hospital for thirty minutes and meet them at On
the Border. Lizzie and Miranda were both looking forward to the strawberry
margaritas. They were already seated when Gordo showed up. He kissed Lizzie
and sat down between Lizzie and Miranda. "So how was the hospital?" Lizzie
asked. "Busy and hectic. I think they just work me harder because I'm getting
married Saturday." He said looking over the menu. The waiter came and got
their order and the three friends laughed and had fun together just like old
times.
North Park Baptist Church
Saturday July 21; 04:17 PM
THE WEDDING DAY!!!!!!!!
Lizzie was sitting in the upstairs room sitting looking at herself in the
mirror. It had been a hectic day and she had hardly gotten any sleep last
night. She was so excited about today that sleep had been nearly impossible.
Then this morning she had to make sure everything was ready for the honeymoon
and wedding. Luckily yesterday afternoon they had gotten Gordo moved into
the apartment, but she still had to make sure everything was taken care of
like the mail, the food, the plants, finalizing everything. Plus they had
had the Wedding Rehearsal Dinner last night, which added to the excitement
and nervousness of today. So she got up early this morning and made sure
everything was taken care of. After that she had an appointment with the
hair stylist. Then she went back to the hotel where Miranda was going to
do her make-up and her mother, Gordo's mother, and Miranda's mother would
help her with the dress and then take her to the church. Once they made it
there she was sitting in the room thinking about the significance of this
day.
Her mother and everyone else wished her luck and went downstairs to get
ready. She heard a knock and turned around to see her brother. "Hi Matt."
She said. "Hey Lizzie. I just came up here to say that I'm really proud of
you and that I hope you are very happy." Matt still knew all the buttons to
push to make his sister crazy, but now he knew when to use them effectively.
They had become friends as they got older and now here on her wedding day he
was very proud of her. She smiled, "Thank you Matt." She got up and went
over to give him a hug. He was now as tall as their dad and therefore
towered over her. "Hey, if he ever hurts you, I'll beat the crap out of
him for you." Lizzie laughed, "I'll be sure to tell him. Thanks for
everything Matt." A tear was forming in her eye. "I love you Lizzie."
He said, as he kissed her cheek. "I love you too Matt. Now go down there
and keep an eye on my groom." "Yes, Ma'am." He saluted. "Oh and Matt, I
want my fifty dollars from the bet." Matt tried to look like he didn't know
what she was talking about, but hung his head. "You'll get it as soon as I
hear the 'I do's'." He said and then left. He was Gordo's Best Man and it
was his duty to make sure Gordo didn't pass out with excitement.
She straightened out her dress and veil and took a very deep breath. Then
her father appeared and he already had a few tears in his eye. "Hi Daddy."
She said. "Hi Honey, are you ready?" he asked. "Yes, I am." She said. "Well
let's see the dress, twirl around for me." He requested. She laughed and
twirled around and let the white dress swish with her movements. "You look
beautiful." "You better stop before I start to cry." She told him. "Alright
then, lets get going." He took her arm and led her downstairs. "Daddy, thank
you so much for being here on this day. For helping me when I needed it and
for being there no matter what." She leaned up and kissed his cheek. He
looked at her and smiled, "Not a problem sweetheart. I love you and I am
very proud of you." It was then that the oak doors opened and Cannon in D
started and Lizzie looked down the aisle to see Gordo.
Gordo was standing at the front staring at her. She was absolutely beautiful
and he was just very amazed by it. This was his wedding day. He was marrying
his best friend, Lizzie McGuire. He had imagined what it would really be
like when they had that class project, but nothing as serious or as
wonderful as this. He just couldn't believe it, but there she was walking
down the aisle toward him. She was there and they were going to get married,
have a family and be together forever. He smiled brightly at her and she
returned his smile with a twinkle in her eye.
The ceremony was beautiful and the feelings of love flowed all around the
couple. Their joy and happiness would have convinced even the most cynical
person to smile for the occasion. It was truly a wonderful and joyous
occasion. The pictures had been taken and the couple was then ushered to the
limo waiting outside of the church to take them to the Sierra Rose Club
where the reception was being held.
Lizzie's dress surrounded her in a cloud of white, but she paid it no heed.
For like all newlyweds she was occupied with her new husband. The kiss he
had given her when the preacher pronounced them husband and wife was so
amazing that it only seemed right to try and duplicate it. The laughed at
one another and then kissed again. She would have climbed on top of his lap,
but that would have been a lesson in acrobats in the dress that she was
wearing. They were still kissing when the limo stopped and the door opened.
They heard clapping and hollering and broke apart. They laughed at each
other again and then climbed out. As the claps continued they did the only
thing they could do, take a bow and kiss again.
The reception was on its way and everyone was having a great time. The food
was delicious and the couple was having a wonderful time chatting with old
friends and relatives. "Can I please have the new Mr. and Mrs. Gordon on the
dance floor?" Matt said. They hadn't hired a band because they really didn't
want so Matt had said he would be MC and help with the DJ. Lizzie and Gordo
smiled at one another and walked to the wooden dance floor. "Can I have
everyone's attention?" Matt asked. All conversations stopped and looked at
the newlyweds. "Thank you. As many of you know I am Matt McGuire, brother
of the bride and best man, therefore I have more insight into this couple
than most people do. I am so glad that these two took the plunge and got
married. It is wonderful to see my sister so happy and with a man I know who
will love her and take care of her for the rest of her life. So with that in
mind may I present the Gordon's and the couple with their first dance as man
and wife." There was applause and Lizzie and Matt winked at one another.
"I don't remember what day it was. I didn't notice what time it was. All I
know is that I fell in love with you and if all my dreams come true I'll be
spending time with you. I love you more today than yesterday, but not as
much as tomorrow. I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as
tomorrow. Springtime's just day away. Cupid we don't need you now be on you
way. I thank Lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger and if all my
dreams come true I'll be spending time with you. Oh I love you more today
than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow.…" The song was an oldie, but
it still made the couple smile at the lyrics and dance around the dance
floor.
As soon as the song ended another one came up and everyone joined the
couple in the next dance. When the song, "I could Not Ask For More" by
Sarah Evans the couple rejoined the crowd for the dance. "This is a dream."
She whispered into Gordo's ear. "I couldn't agree more." He said and she
lifted her head to look at him. He leaned in and kissed her very softly on
the lips. It wasn't enough and she deepened the kiss. It was only a few
seconds they heard clapping and broke apart to notice everyone was clapping
at them. They smiled and laughed at being caught once again.
"Alright, guests if you could please follow the couple it is time to cut
the wedding cake. Everyone gathered around the couple as they cut into the
cake. Lizzie had told Gordo not to smash into her face, but when she
"accidentally" got it on his nose he retaliated. She was laughing so hard
when he smashed it into her mouth she nearly choked. As soon as she finished
eating it the couple continued to laugh. "Forgive me?" he asked. "Yeah I
guess so." She kissed his nose where the icing was still left and licked it
off. That was almost Gordo's undoing. It was time for them to leave. They
were going to a hotel in Dallas for their honeymoon and then they would take
their real honeymoon during Christmas break when he would have real break.
They made their way to the front of the club. "Time for the garter!" Gordo
shouted. All the men gathered around the couple where Matt had placed a
chair for Lizzie to sit on. Gordo very carefully so as not to show anyone
what was up Lizzie's dress slid his hands up and got the garter and on his
way back down tickled the inside of her thigh causing her breath to hitch.
When he pulled it off of her foot and out he threw it where Matt caught it.
Everyone laughed except for Jo who couldn't stand the thought of her little
boy getting married so soon.
"Bouquet! Bouquet! Bouquet!" the girls started chanting. Lizzie laughed and
climbed on top of the chair and then threw the bouquet behind her. She heard
scrambling and hair pulling. She heard "I got it! I got it! I got it!" from
the voice she knew better than her own, Miranda. Gordo helped Lizzie down
from the chair where she ran to Miranda to give her a hug. "Hey before you
leave I have a surprise for you." Miranda whispered. "Well we will be
leaving in twenty minutes." She told her. "Well then come with me." She
said grabbing Lizzie's hand and leading her out to one of the rooms in the
club. On one of the chairs sat a beautifully wrapped gift. Miranda picked
the gift up and handed it to Lizzie, "This is for you because this night
should be magical." Lizzie carefully unwrapped the gift, she opened up the
box and then moved the flowery tissue paper. Inside was the hunter green
nightgown that she had wanted at Victoria's Secret. She looked up at Miranda
tears pricking the back of her eyes. "Thank you so much. This..." "Don't
tell me I shouldn't have done it, because I wanted too. I hadn't got you a
wedding present yet and I wasn't sure what to get you, but when I saw you
look at this I knew. Besides this is something Gordo will like too." She
smiled. Lizzie laughed and Miranda laughed with her. "Thank you so much."
Lizzie said giving her friend another hug.
"Now just as a hint, wear it without anything underneath it." she smirked.
"Just because you smirked I will." Lizzie said and the girls left to the
main hall where Gordo was waiting. "Are you ready to go?" he asked. "Yeah,
lets go." She said. As they walked out to where the limo was waiting they
were sprayed with birdseed and all of the windows were the words "Just
Married". They both groaned but ducked into the car and sighed with relief
as the door shut. Lizzie kissed Gordo, "Thank you for the beautiful wedding
and reception." He smiled, "Thank you." He said.

then looked at the price tag, of course it was beautiful. "Oh well." Lizzie
said and then moved on to find something else, which she eventually did. It
was a beautiful sapphire floor-length nightgown and it was also satin, but
it wasn't near as beautiful as the hunter green one was. Of course it didn't
cost 100.00$ either.
They shopped for a couple more hours and then made dinner plans. Gordo was
going to get away from the hospital for thirty minutes and meet them at On
the Border. Lizzie and Miranda were both looking forward to the strawberry
margaritas. They were already seated when Gordo showed up. He kissed Lizzie
and sat down between Lizzie and Miranda. "So how was the hospital?" Lizzie
asked. "Busy and hectic. I think they just work me harder because I'm getting
married Saturday." He said looking over the menu. The waiter came and got
their order and the three friends laughed and had fun together just like old
times.
North Park Baptist Church
Saturday July 21; 04:17 PM
THE WEDDING DAY!!!!!!!!
Lizzie was sitting in the upstairs room sitting looking at herself in the
mirror. It had been a hectic day and she had hardly gotten any sleep last
night. She was so excited about today that sleep had been nearly impossible.
Then this morning she had to make sure everything was ready for the honeymoon
and wedding. Luckily yesterday afternoon they had gotten Gordo moved into
the apartment, but she still had to make sure everything was taken care of
like the mail, the food, the plants, finalizing everything. Plus they had
had the Wedding Rehearsal Dinner last night, which added to the excitement
and nervousness of today. So she got up early this morning and made sure
everything was taken care of. After that she had an appointment with the
hair stylist. Then she went back to the hotel where Miranda was going to
do her make-up and her mother, Gordo's mother, and Miranda's mother would
help her with the dress and then take her to the church. Once they made it
there she was sitting in the room thinking about the significance of this
day.
Her mother and everyone else wished her luck and went downstairs to get
ready. She heard a knock and turned around to see her brother. "Hi Matt."
She said. "Hey Lizzie. I just came up here to say that I'm really proud of
you and that I hope you are very happy." Matt still knew all the buttons to
push to make his sister crazy, but now he knew when to use them effectively.
They had become friends as they got older and now here on her wedding day he
was very proud of her. She smiled, "Thank you Matt." She got up and went
over to give him a hug. He was now as tall as their dad and therefore
towered over her. "Hey, if he ever hurts you, I'll beat the crap out of
him for you." Lizzie laughed, "I'll be sure to tell him. Thanks for
everything Matt." A tear was forming in her eye. "I love you Lizzie."
He said, as he kissed her cheek. "I love you too Matt. Now go down there
and keep an eye on my groom." "Yes, Ma'am." He saluted. "Oh and Matt, I
want my fifty dollars from the bet." Matt tried to look like he didn't know
what she was talking about, but hung his head. "You'll get it as soon as I
hear the 'I do's'." He said and then left. He was Gordo's Best Man and it
was his duty to make sure Gordo didn't pass out with excitement.
She straightened out her dress and veil and took a very deep breath. Then
her father appeared and he already had a few tears in his eye. "Hi Daddy."
She said. "Hi Honey, are you ready?" he asked. "Yes, I am." She said. "Well
let's see the dress, twirl around for me." He requested. She laughed and
twirled around and let the white dress swish with her movements. "You look
beautiful." "You better stop before I start to cry." She told him. "Alright
then, lets get going." He took her arm and led her downstairs. "Daddy, thank
you so much for being here on this day. For helping me when I needed it and
for being there no matter what." She leaned up and kissed his cheek. He
looked at her and smiled, "Not a problem sweetheart. I love you and I am
very proud of you." It was then that the oak doors opened and Cannon in D
started and Lizzie looked down the aisle to see Gordo.
Gordo was standing at the front staring at her. She was absolutely beautiful
and he was just very amazed by it. This was his wedding day. He was marrying
his best friend, Lizzie McGuire. He had imagined what it would really be
like when they had that class project, but nothing as serious or as
wonderful as this. He just couldn't believe it, but there she was walking
down the aisle toward him. She was there and they were going to get married,
have a family and be together forever. He smiled brightly at her and she
returned his smile with a twinkle in her eye.
The ceremony was beautiful and the feelings of love flowed all around the
couple. Their joy and happiness would have convinced even the most cynical
person to smile for the occasion. It was truly a wonderful and joyous
occasion. The pictures had been taken and the couple was then ushered to the
limo waiting outside of the church to take them to the Sierra Rose Club
where the reception was being held.
Lizzie's dress surrounded her in a cloud of white, but she paid it no heed.
For like all newlyweds she was occupied with her new husband. The kiss he
had given her when the preacher pronounced them husband and wife was so
amazing that it only seemed right to try and duplicate it. The laughed at
one another and then kissed again. She would have climbed on top of his lap,
but that would have been a lesson in acrobats in the dress that she was
wearing. They were still kissing when the limo stopped and the door opened.
They heard clapping and hollering and broke apart. They laughed at each
other again and then climbed out. As the claps continued they did the only
thing they could do, take a bow and kiss again.
The reception was on its way and everyone was having a great time. The food
was delicious and the couple was having a wonderful time chatting with old
friends and relatives. "Can I please have the new Mr. and Mrs. Gordon on the
dance floor?" Matt said. They hadn't hired a band because they really didn't
want so Matt had said he would be MC and help with the DJ. Lizzie and Gordo
smiled at one another and walked to the wooden dance floor. "Can I have
everyone's attention?" Matt asked. All conversations stopped and looked at
the newlyweds. "Thank you. As many of you know I am Matt McGuire, brother
of the bride and best man, therefore I have more insight into this couple
than most people do. I am so glad that these two took the plunge and got
married. It is wonderful to see my sister so happy and with a man I know who
will love her and take care of her for the rest of her life. So with that in
mind may I present the Gordon's and the couple with their first dance as man
and wife." There was applause and Lizzie and Matt winked at one another.
"I don't remember what day it was. I didn't notice what time it was. All I
know is that I fell in love with you and if all my dreams come true I'll be
spending time with you. I love you more today than yesterday, but not as
much as tomorrow. I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as
tomorrow. Springtime's just day away. Cupid we don't need you now be on you
way. I thank Lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger and if all my
dreams come true I'll be spending time with you. Oh I love you more today
than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow.…" The song was an oldie, but
it still made the couple smile at the lyrics and dance around the dance
floor.
As soon as the song ended another one came up and everyone joined the
couple in the next dance. When the song, "I could Not Ask For More" by
Sarah Evans the couple rejoined the crowd for the dance. "This is a dream."
She whispered into Gordo's ear. "I couldn't agree more." He said and she
lifted her head to look at him. He leaned in and kissed her very softly on
the lips. It wasn't enough and she deepened the kiss. It was only a few
seconds they heard clapping and broke apart to notice everyone was clapping
at them. They smiled and laughed at being caught once again.
"Alright, guests if you could please follow the couple it is time to cut
the wedding cake. Everyone gathered around the couple as they cut into the
cake. Lizzie had told Gordo not to smash into her face, but when she
"accidentally" got it on his nose he retaliated. She was laughing so hard
when he smashed it into her mouth she nearly choked. As soon as she finished
eating it the couple continued to laugh. "Forgive me?" he asked. "Yeah I
guess so." She kissed his nose where the icing was still left and licked it
off. That was almost Gordo's undoing. It was time for them to leave. They
were going to a hotel in Dallas for their honeymoon and then they would take
their real honeymoon during Christmas break when he would have real break.
They made their way to the front of the club. "Time for the garter!" Gordo
shouted. All the men gathered around the couple where Matt had placed a
chair for Lizzie to sit on. Gordo very carefully so as not to show anyone
what was up Lizzie's dress slid his hands up and got the garter and on his
way back down tickled the inside of her thigh causing her breath to hitch.
When he pulled it off of her foot and out he threw it where Matt caught it.
Everyone laughed except for Jo who couldn't stand the thought of her little
boy getting married so soon.
"Bouquet! Bouquet! Bouquet!" the girls started chanting. Lizzie laughed and
climbed on top of the chair and then threw the bouquet behind her. She heard
scrambling and hair pulling. She heard "I got it! I got it! I got it!" from
the voice she knew better than her own, Miranda. Gordo helped Lizzie down
from the chair where she ran to Miranda to give her a hug. "Hey before you
leave I have a surprise for you." Miranda whispered. "Well we will be
leaving in twenty minutes." She told her. "Well then come with me." She
said grabbing Lizzie's hand and leading her out to one of the rooms in the
club. On one of the chairs sat a beautifully wrapped gift. Miranda picked
the gift up and handed it to Lizzie, "This is for you because this night
should be magical." Lizzie carefully unwrapped the gift, she opened up the
box and then moved the flowery tissue paper. Inside was the hunter green
nightgown that she had wanted at Victoria's Secret. She looked up at Miranda
tears pricking the back of her eyes. "Thank you so much. This..." "Don't
tell me I shouldn't have done it, because I wanted too. I hadn't got you a
wedding present yet and I wasn't sure what to get you, but when I saw you
look at this I knew. Besides this is something Gordo will like too." She
smiled. Lizzie laughed and Miranda laughed with her. "Thank you so much."
Lizzie said giving her friend another hug.
"Now just as a hint, wear it without anything underneath it." she smirked.
"Just because you smirked I will." Lizzie said and the girls left to the
main hall where Gordo was waiting. "Are you ready to go?" he asked. "Yeah,
lets go." She said. As they walked out to where the limo was waiting they
were sprayed with birdseed and all of the windows were the words "Just
Married". They both groaned but ducked into the car and sighed with relief
as the door shut. Lizzie kissed Gordo, "Thank you for the beautiful wedding
and reception." He smiled, "Thank you." He said.
~ To be continued.
