Ch. 1 A Wedding for Five

(CLARE)

"I can't believe this day is finally here I've been dreaming about this since that weekend at Owen's six years ago," I grin looking at myself in the mirror.

"You look incredible," Bianca smiles.

"I'd say enchanting Enchantress," Owen grins.

"Most definitely sexy Sexy," Fitz smirks.

"A blushing bride," Drew says before kissing me softly.

We're getting married today; all five of us are getting married today. It's not exactly a legal ceremony but a civil union, our family and friends and everyone that knows about our relationship and supports us will be here today. We're also moving into our house today, using the settlement money from Joel, some money Owen inherited when his grandfather died and some money Bianca and I put away after an occasional special appearance at The Red Room we bought a six bedroom in Mississauga. It's an older house in a lower middle class neighborhood and the house needed a lot of work. We've spent over a year fixing it up, the six of us along with help from Adam, Jane, Jay, Sean, Lucas, Johnny and our other friends.

Speaking of Adam he and Jane were married last year, she works at Omar's law office and Adam works with me at CBC, we both graduated from U of T with degrees in journalism. Before we'd even graduated we had job offers to work at CBC, we're entry level but that's okay we'll work up the ladder.

"You all look great, sexy and handsome and very beautiful," I grin before kissing my grooms and then my bride.

"Thank you Sex Kitten," she smiles.

My dress is strapless with an empire waist; it goes to my ankles and is backless. The bottom is trimmed in blue and there's embroidery on my bust and a blue sash just under my bust. I have two pearl bracelets around my upper arms connected by a blue silk sash. We have an outdoor wedding I have white low wedge heels that have blue rhinestones on them. The rhinestones match the jewelry I'm wearing, just silver with blue rhinestones not real sapphires but we have pretty simple tastes.

My female lover, and my only bride, is in a halter with a plunging neckline. The center of neckline flares out with red velvet, it gets thin at her waist and then flares out again as it goes down her skirt making a sort of hourglass shape. It's also got a red velvet sash around the waist; she has red wedge heels and a red necklace.

My boys, our grooms, are all in tuxedos of course. Fitz has a more old fashioned tuxedo with a jacket that has long tails like from the twenties, he has a yellow tie and a black boater hat with a yellow sash around it. He even has wingtip shoes to go with it and a yellow rose for his boutonniere. Drew has a traditional double breasted tuxedo; he has a purple tie with a purple rose for his boutonniere. On his head is a top hat that we put a purple sash around. Owen has a classic single breasted with a peaked lapel, he has a pink tie and pink rose in his boutonniere and a fedora with a pink sash around it.

When we hear the music start up we exit the dressing room and walk down the aisle together. Well sort of, my four paramours decided to carry me down the aisle on their shoulders. They thought it was appropriate to carry me down the aisle and I thought it was sweet. Owen and Drew lift me onto their shoulders and then Bianca and Fitz each put one of my ankles on their shoulders. They walk me down the aisle and set me down; I'm in the middle with Owen and Drew on one side of me and Fitz and Bianca on the other. Since there's already five us at the altar we decided against any kind of wedding party. If we had the wedding party we all wanted there would hardly be anyone in the seats. Because we wanted family and friends with us, and there's a limited number of people who truly support us and know the true nature of our relationship, Johnny is officiating. He actually went online and got licensed and we got a marriage license it's still not legal to turn it in. This will not be a legal marriage under the law but none of us care.

"Love. Love is our oldest and most basic instinct and impulse. The desire to be with someone, share yourself with someone, to have a community and be cared for and care for others. Few of us are lucky enough to find one person in a lifetime who truly loves us, cares for us and wants to share their life with us but these five found each other. A true love shared between five people might not be what's normal, conventional and many would look upon it with confusion or even disdain and call such a thing sin. I have witnessed firsthand, as we all have, the amazing love these five share, the nurturing of their relationship and care they all show each other. The strength they all draw from each other, support that they all share. And we are all blessed that we have been witness to a wonderful love like theirs. They have all written their own vows to each other, Owen please recite your vows now," Johnny says looking at Owen. Owen smiles and takes a step toward Johnny before turning to the four of us and he takes a piece of paper from his pocket looking at Drew.

"Drew our friendship didn't get off to the best start but we overcame that and became close friends. Soon that friendship was made even stronger and brought together by a shared love for a girl. Now we have a new relationship, a different relationship one that's stronger than friendship or brotherhood a love that's unique but one I can't picture life without. Drew I vow to never hog the remote or the washroom or most importantly our girls. I vow to be a good friend and husband and that our relationship will get stronger and better. Fitz you are one of my oldest friends, we have been through a lot and there were times weren't very close but our friendship has survived and now it's all the stronger. Our relationship these last six years has grown to something indescribable and wonderful thing. Like Drew you are closer to me than a friend or a brother, I make the same vow to you that I did to Drew and I know that our relationship will only get stronger. Bianca, like Fitz I've known you forever, we've been friends so long I barely remember life without you. You didn't come into the relationship the same way the rest of us did but it would not be whole or complete without you. From friend to lover and now wife our relationship will only continue to get stronger. I vow to always help out around the house, to take care of all your needs and as many desires as I can grant. I vow to always remember we were friends first and from that friendship grew a beautiful love and relationship. Clare, Enchantress and Tease, you are the shining flame of love and desire that brought the four of us to you. Our unconventional relationship may have started with hurt feelings and an act of vengeance but it became the most wonderful, fulfilling, happy, nurturing, exciting, tender and loving thing in our lives and that any of us has ever experienced. I love you more than words can express, but I vow to show you every day. I vow to be a good husband not only to you but to Bianca, Fitz and Drew. I vow to take care of you, nurture you and grant your every desire and to make sure you have all you need."

Owen finishes and I'm grinning ear to ear, a joyful tear in my eye. Johnny tells Drew to recite his vows and we all look at him. Owen steps back in line with the rest of us and Drew steps forward to turning to us.

"Owen we've known each other almost seven years now although we haven't always been close. When we were no longer fighting we were very close and you were one of the few friends I could always count on. Now we are, as you said, closer than brothers or best friends, lovers in a way and sharing in one relationship and one love. I vow to be the best man that I can and to learn from your example that way. I vow to be to a good husband and friend and brother to you. I vow to continue to be grateful for your presence in my life and in this relationship as I always have been. Fitz you and I started as enemies, we had nothing in common and even threw a few punches at each other. When you were released from juvie you had changed and we were civil but desire and love for Clare brought us into a friendship that developed into so much more. There is not a word for what you, Owen and I are to each other. This relationship would not be complete without you and we would not be the same without you. I vow to be considerate and sensitive and learn from your example in that way. I vow to appreciate the man that you are and that you've become and all you bring to this relationship. Bianca, beautiful fiery Bianca, we began as a flirtation and may have only stayed as a flirtation if you hadn't joined our relationship but I am very grateful that you did. We all share one love, not just for Clare but for each other, it unifies us and makes us strong. You are my lover, my friend and now my wife. I vow to always be steadfast and confident and do anything for those I care about and follow your example. I vow to appreciate and love you as I do now and more and more each day. Clare, my Vixen, my lover, friend, confidant, true love and now wife I love you so much there aren't words. What you have formed, what you have brought together just by being you is incredible. This relationship has changed us all for the better. If not for you and this relationship, even though it began in not the best of ways, my life would be darker and dull, I would not know the amazing wonderful awesomeness of a love like ours. I vow to be smart and creative and to learn from your example in that way. I vow to love you now and always and more and more every day. To appreciate the wonderful, brilliant, courageousness that comes from within you and makes you the woman that we all fell so madly deeply in love with."

Drew finishes and I'm biting my lip, we're all tearing up a little and I'm pretty sure my smile can't get any bigger. Johnny waits a few seconds before asking Fitz to say his vows. Drew joins our line again; Fitz takes a step toward Johnny and turns to the four of us.

"Owen my longtime friend I have long thought of you as a brother even at times when our friendship was strained. You have always been important to me and someone I could count on. In the last six years you have become even more so. Drew we started out on the wrong road because I had nothing and I hated everyone that had something, especially you and Adam but for no reason other than I was angry and didn't understand why. Juvie changed that but really it was Clare that changed that. When I got out and she came to me, kissed me that first day and began all of this. You came in and were there for her, a part of this and when you joined it felt like a missing piece had been found. The four of us working together and centered around one person and one love. Bianca you along with Owen have been my friend longer than anyone and one of the few people I could count on and I know was on my side. When you came into this you completed the relationship, we were a whole, a unit, a family even then. Clare I am thankful for you every day, so very in love with you that love grows more and more every moment. Every time you smile at me, look at me with those loving eyes, touch me with soft skin I feel lucky to be alive and in love with you Sexy. I vow to all four of you to be the best man that I can, to be a good, kind, strong and understanding husband. Most of all I vow to never take this relationship for granted or any of you."

"Bianca please recite your vows," Johnny says after a second.

"Oh boy, a little emotional here after our boys vows and those are all going to be hard to follow," Bianca says and a few people laugh softly. She takes a deep breath taking a step toward Johnny and turning to us before she begins. "Fitz and Owen you both have been my best friends, my protectors and my strength for so long. Often you were the only ones I could count on and I felt like the only ones that cared. If not for both of you I probably would have self-destructed early. I love you both, respect you both and am grateful for you both and I admire the men that you've become. Drew there was a time I hoped you'd be my boyfriend, little did I know what an incredible, glorious and true love we would have and what an amazing relationship we would share in. I always admired the way you looked out for Adam, the care you had for your brother and stood up for him and I admire and am proud of the man you've become in the last six years. Clare, Sex Kitten, you are the luminous star that brought us all together. Your beauty, you're allure, intellect and sexiness and most of all your love brought us all together. What we all share has made my life so much better, brighter and happier. I wake up every day with a smile. I spend every day knowing I'm incredibly loved and cared for more than most people will in a life time. I vow to all of you to be a good wife, lover, friend, confidant and person. I vow to love each of you, care for each of you and appreciate each of you from this day and for the rest of our lives."

Bianca's done and she steps back in line, I take a deep breath and step forward before turning to my lovers and soon to be spouses. I memorized my vows, hell I've been writing them in my head since pretty much the moment I ever dreamed of us married. I'm going in order that they joined the relationship. So I look at Fitz first going right in front of him and taking his hands in mine to speak only to him.

"I have called you by many names over the years; Fitz, Damon, Mark. You have been my admirer, my enemy, my friend then my lover, boyfriend and now husband. You have been through a lot but you came through it stronger, better, kinder and sure of what you wanted out of life which few people know at such a young age. You have a strength and a wisdom and a kindness that most people never got to see. You have always made me feel more beautiful and special than any other girl alive. You are the calm strength and tenacious serenity in this relationship. I love your determination and your pride and I love you and everything that you are, that you were and that you will become."

I move from Fitz to standing in front of Owen now and taking his hands I take a deep breath. I have so many wonderful emotions swimming through me it's hard to speak and everyone is watching me but for now I speak only to Owen.

"I called you JD it stood for Juvenile Delinquent and James Dean, both things that you embodied. You no longer embody a juvenile delinquent but you do still embody James Dean. We were nothing but strangers for so long, different circles, different friends, entirely different worlds we were in. But then they came together, at a time when in a way my life was falling apart and a piece of me was broken your old world and my new one collided. You are strong and smart, courageous, caring and bright. To most people you were the strong jock but to me you were tender and loving, nurturing and generous. You have made me strong; made me certain I can handle anything. You are the loving perseverance and energy in this relationship. I love your energy, your inner strength and your honor and everything that are, you were and you will become."

Owen's grinning, I'm grinning and crying a little too but they're happy tears, everyone is grinning or crying happy tears. I take a deep breath and move from Owen to face Drew taking his hands and looking into his eyes.

"I called you Taylor; you looked so much like Taylor Lautner when we were younger. You and I were acquaintances and barely that. I was best friends with your brother Adam," I say then glance at Adam in the audience with Jane and Adam smiles at me. "We might never have come together if Adam had not been hurt, our mutual love for my best friend and your brother pulling us together. You are caring, protective and loyal. A good big brother, friend and son and soon to be husband. You always know how to make me smile. You are the tender protectiveness in this relationship. I love your grin and your happiness that always comes through in the most depressing situations, I love your loyalty and everything that you are, that you were and that you will become."

I take another deep breath releasing Drew's hands and I walk to Bianca now. One more set of vows to get through which is good because my knees are shaking a little. I take Bianca's hands and lock eyes with her.

"My Veronica," I smile. "My only female lover and the only one I didn't bring into this you chose us. As our soon to be husbands have said you completed the relationship. Like Owen you and I were strangers, but no longer. You have an inner fire that I admire and a strength of character that's so rare in people that have been through as much as you have. You are thoughtful, intelligent and genuine. You are the fire, the passion and the graciousness in this relationship. I love your fiery personality, your bold brashness and your sense of adventure, and I love everything that you are, that you were and that you will become."

I finish with Bianca and I stand just in front of Johnny now. Taking a deep breath before I speak to all of them.

"To all of you on this day and in front of all the people we love I vow to always be a good wife, lover, friend, nurse when you're ill or hurt, shoulder to cry on when your sad and I will always try to keep a smile on your faces. I vow to always love you equally, to never forsake one of you for the other. I vow to cherish this love that we all share as the most precious gift. I vow to be always be grateful and appreciate each of you for the unique and wonderful people that you are and for what each of you brings to this relationship. I vow to always relish and be thankful for everything that we have together. What we have is a miracle, our love is our strength, our bond and I love all of you so much and in so many ways and I always will."

I finish and take Fitz and Drew's hands to walk back to my spot in line. I take a deep breath and keep hold of their hands or I may not be able to keep standing. Johnny tells us it's time for the rings now, buying rings for all of us from all of us would have been too expensive and then we'd all be wearing four rings. So we all have a single rose gold band that is engraved on the outside and they all say Five Hearts One Eternal Love. The boys decided against gemstones on their bands but Bianca and I wanted some, so between each of the words on our bands is a gemstone, each gemstone is one of our birthstones. We couldn't figure out how to do the rings in a fair way so Johnny has all the rings, he hands each of us our ring and we put it on our finger.

"Clare do you take Bianca to be your wife; Drew, Owen and Fitz to be your husbands?"

"I do," I grin.

"Bianca do you take Clare to be your wife and Drew, Owen and Fitz to be your husbands?"

"I do," she smiles.

"Fitz, Owen and Drew do you take Bianca and Clare to be your wives and each other as husbands?"

"We do," the all say in unison.

"By the power vested in me by the internet, whether the law wants to acknowledge it or not, I now pronounce you husbands and wives. To unify their names as they have their love Clare, Owen, Bianca, Drew and Fitz have all chosen to take the same last name and have all changed their last name to Anteros. Anteros comes from the Greek and means mutual love which is something these five people share and have together. Friends and family I give you the Anteros family Clare, Owen, Drew, Fitz and Bianca you may now kiss each other," Johnny says.

I grin wide kissing each of my husbands and then my wife. Bianca also kisses each of our husbands and the guys all kiss each other on the cheek which makes most people laugh. Everyone claps and cheers and we move to the area for the reception. We sit and eat and then the five of us take our first dance together. After that I dance with Owen, he graduated last year and is now a licensed physical therapist. After Owen I dance with Fitz, after getting his GED he applied and was accepted to the police academy and he's a 4th class constable in the Ontario Provincial Police now and he's partners with Lucas. Then I dance alone with Drew, he went to Centennial and found a love of photography. After graduating he got a job as a sports photographer. After Bianca and I have each danced with all three husbands we dance with each other. Bianca went to Ryerson and got a master's in education and is now teaching junior high.

We take a break to talk to people and then have cake; we have a triple layer, two tier vanilla and chocolate cake. After eating cake I hit the dance floor again. After many hours of dancing and celebration we go home to our new home, well new to us. Owen carries me over the threshold, Fitz carries Bianca and then Drew gets the door.

"Welcome home," Drew grins when we're all inside as Fitz and Owen set Bianca and I down.

"Our home, our new home and our first night as a married fivesome," I smile.

"Yes and I think we should begin on the wedding night now," Owen comments.

"Agreed," Drew says picking me up.

Owen picks up Bianca and Fitz runs ahead to open the double doors of the master bedroom. Owen and Drew set us down when we're in the master.

"As always you're in charge Enchantress what shall we do first?" Owen asks as the four of them sit on the bed.

I look at my boys, now my husbands, and my girl, now my wife, all four of my lovers. I tap my finger under my bottom lip as I ponder what the five of us should do first to celebrate our marriage.

Didn't quite make it to the wedding night this chapter but the update on Thursday October 22nd will begin with the wedding night.
