Another Mistake
The stars shone brightly as the newly weds sat in the reception room, everyone was still congratulating them on their marriage and Mac was getting a little bit bored.
How much longer had they had to stay there?
They had stayed at the reception since they had married which was over 4 hours ago.
He looked around and saw everyone nearly getting hammered, and Viggo was good enough to stay sober so he could drive everyone home.
Kaori, however, was only drinking lemonade and Mac was wondering when she would try some vodka, Nate had already tried to spike her drink but Kaori had caught him red handed and it was rather awkward but Nate covered himself by saying that he was checking to see if any one had spiked her drink. Mac couldn't help but laugh at the whole situation, he looked at the big clock and he saw it was only seven.
He was getting nervous to when everyone would give their speeches.
Kaori had asked Elise to do hers and Mac regretted letting Moby do his, since he was as drunk as shunk, god only knows how that will go.
He leaned his head on his arm and silently yawned; Kaori noticed his boredom and nudged him on the arm.
"Look interested, half the guys are only here for you." Kaori whispered.
Mac shook his head.
"No, not me, they are only here for your lady friends." Mac shot it down completely. It was the truth.
Kaori sighed, maybe he was right, and the only people who actually talked to them were the drunks who mistakenly thought they worked here.
"Well, just pretend that you're having fun, I am." Kaori said.
"You, pretending? No, Kaori, I have known you for a long time and you can not possibly 'pretend' to have fun." Mac laughed.
"You know me," Kaori blushed.
"Of course I know you, silly; I'm your new husband." Mac said with a proud smile.
Kaori smiled back and leaned over to kiss him.
"WOOOOO!" They heard the crowd yell and they instantly stopped.
"Aww, carry on!" Moby yelled.
Mac sank his head into his hands with embarrassment.
Kaori's face turned really red.
Elise stood up and she tapped her glass with her spoon and everyone went quiet.
She cleared her voice before she began.
"I would like to make a toast for the newly wed couple, first of all congratulations, again. You two must be so happy together. I have been round the circuit as long as those two and it was really obvious to see that they were simply meant to be.
There is no other explanation for it except one word: Love.
Every time those two were together, there was defiantly chemistry and like chemistry it was exploding with passion and deep feelings, and now that they have finally realized their feelings I have a hunch that it will last forever." She started.
Kaori smiled to Mac and Mac just itched the back of his head, why had he used wax on his hair? It was as hard as rock.
"Anyway, if these two were ever apart, it would bring the world down with them.
I wish Mac and Kaori all the best for the future and the ever so romantic honeymoon, which is where again?" the blonde asked them.
"Paris, France!" Kaori yelled in a voice that only dogs could hear.
"I wish you well in Paris, the city of romance, just perfect for your life to start together, and I would like you both to know that I will gladly accept the honour of being a godmother to the children."
Mac nearly spat out his wine and Kaori blushed a lot.
Children? Oh god children. He was only 19!
Mac turned to his wife with wide eyes.
"I'm sure she's just joking." Kaori nervously said.
"Uh huh, yeah sure." Mac laughed even more nervously than his wife.
Elise held out her half full glass of wine.
"Toast to the groom and bride!" She said and everyone clinked glasses.
She then sat down and then Moby stood up.
Mac froze in fright and Kaori prepared herself for the worst.
"Good on ya mate! Ya finally got her! I was wondering when you were kiss her." Moby blurted out.
Mac hung his head in shame, why had he asked Moby?
"Oi, Mac, you got yourself one heck of a woman, you got nothing to be ashamed of mate!" Moby shouted.
"I'm ashamed of myself for asking you to do the speech." Mac said under his breath, dam he had wanted this to be perfect for Kaori.
"I'm sure he meant well." Kaori whispered to him.
"Thanks for that Moby." Mac replied.
"Yo mate, when you were the youngest in the circuit, I always considered you for small little boy." Moby said.
Mac closed his eyes and hoped that by him closing his eyes, no body else would see his embarrassment wash across his face.
"But I have learnt a very valuable lesson from ya, mate." Moby continued.
Mac looked up; this was taking a new interesting turn.
"Big things come in small packages and you and I both know what I mean!" Moby laughed.
Mac hid his head deep in his shoulders, why had he brought that up?
"Mac? What does he mean?" Kaori asked him.
"Guy stuff." Mac replied rather embarrassed.
"Nevertheless mate, you will live long and prosper with your smoking hot girlfriend!" Moby shouted.
"Wife, you idiot." Mac whispered
Kaori just giggled.
"Your relationship will last till the very end! To Mac and Kaori!" Moby raised his glass.
"To Mac and Kaori." Every one repeated and then they all clinked their glasses.
"It wasn't that bad." Kaori told Mac who had his face hidden from the rest of the world.
"Only because half the time, you didn't even know what he was talking about." Mac replied.
Kaori just stared at him then returned to every one else.
It was true, what was all that about anyway?
Kaori then stood up.
"I would like to thank all of you for being able to be here today with us on our lucky day, in Mac's case, the most embarrassing day of his life." She joked and almost the entire room was up in laughter.
Mac figured it was the wine that made them laugh to a non-funny joke.
"I am entirely grateful to your very moving speeches" she said looking to Elise.
"They were certainly very…fascinating." She said looking to Moby who seemed really drunk now.
"We shall miss you for the 2 weeks that we are gone for and we shall be sure to bring you back souvenirs of some sort…" Kaori said.
"Bring back some children!" Moby shouted out and both Kaori and Mac blushed.
"…but, they will be in our price range, of course." Kaori smiled nervously. It was obvious she didn't really know what she was doing.
"Kaori, be careful that you don't promise them too much." Mac whispered from beside her.
"Thank you." She finished and she sat down.
Mac finally stood up.
"Thanks for coming, like my new wife said, it was a pleasure to have you all watching my humiliation, and I hope you all get wasted." Mac joked.
The whole room was filled with roaring laughter.
It wasn't that funny was it?
"That's the spirit Mackey!" Moby called out, yet again.
"Yeah, thanks for that and uh, keep your nose out of my private time." Mac said to Moby.
Moby just shrugged when every one stared at him.
Well, there was along story there, since Mac and Moby were room mates at one point but Mac was such a slob that Moby had enough and moved out and in with Viggo.
Who, in fact was still completely sober, but he didn't need alcohol to have a good time, he was already drunk on life.
"So, yeah, just enjoy yourselves and dinner should be here right now! I'm starving!" Mac smiled.
Every one agreed and the waitresses came out and started to take the orders.
Kaori ordered the 'Mrs. Wonderful wild salad' and Mac ordered 'Fantastic Roast Lamb'.
Mac thought it was such a stupid name for a salad, seriously 'Mrs. Wonderful wild salad' sounded like some crazy woman decided to cut down trees and grass and serve it on a plate. What a stupid name, a salad is a salad.
When they brought it out, it really just look like grass and leaves covered in sauce.
"Honey, if you really wanted to eat some grass, there's a lot by the horses out back." Mac joked.
"Hey, in case you haven't noticed, you have some salad right next to the dead animal on your plate." Kaori replied.
"Yummy dead animal. Are leaves and grass covered in sauce really that yum?" Mac asked.
"Wanna try?" Kaori asked, holding up her fork full of leaves up to his face.
"No thanks if I want to try that, I think I'll just go outside and cover one of the trees in mayonnaise." Mac laughed and tore into his medium rare cooked lamb.
Kaori shuddered, how could anyone eat something that was still bleeding? It was disgusting.
"Well if you don't have any salad, say hello to a life of being over 90kg and greeting the television every morning." Kaori said.
"Already said hi to the T.V every morning." Mac said.
"But you just wait until you have to have ten or more people lift you out of the bed and having your fat rolls hide the remote away from you." Kaori laughed.
"Stupid fat rolls, how dare they hide the remote!" Mac joked.
Kaori just laughed.
Finishing the meals proved a difficult task for Mac, but he still preferred it to the gourmet garden his wife was eating.
"What you like for desert, sire?" One of the waitresses with a body like a goddess asked Mac.
Mac glanced down at the menu.
What was there to choose from?
"Uh, I'll have the 'Surprising Chocolate deluxe'?" Mac said while pondering the stupidity of the name.
'Surprising Chocolate deluxe'? What was that? The chocolate was going to surprise him? How was that possible? When it will arrive, the chocolate will pop out and go "SURPRISE!" it was stupid, chocolate doesn't talk, it's only chocolate.
Unlike his wife and many other girls, he wasn't a sucker for chocolate. His weakness lied in potato chips, especially salt and vinegar ones.
But when it arrived on front of him, it just looked like brown lumps of poop with white icing sugar covering it and it had some sort of weird looking plant on top.
"Kaori, what's that?" Mac asked about the plant.
"It's just decoration, hun." Kaori giggled as she began eating her sundae.
"Oh well." Mac sighed and he dug into it and took a bite of it and it kind of surprised him, its taste was kind of nice.
Later, it was soon around 10 at night and everyone was leaving to go to bed, but Kaori was wide awake and probably, aside from Viggo and Griff, the only one still sober.
She looked around for Mac and she spotted him talking to Moby, Nate, Griff and Atomika.
By the look of things he was just as drunk as the rest of them; he had been sneaking shots of vodka without her noticing.
Kaori pouted.
She guessed that Mac would be too pissed for this night to be the special night. She had thought that this night would be the night… but it didn't look like it now.
