Later that day Gabi went home to work on packing while Josh looked online for a place to live. Sofia was hounding Gabi with wedding questions. "When are you guys gonna get married? Oooh You guys should do a destination wedding, we could go to Tahiti or Fiji or Disney World!"
"I think I might have outgrown our childhood dream of getting married in Cinderella 's castle Sofia"
"Since when are you such an adult?" Sofia teased
"Oh just ever since I'm getting married!" Gabi screeched excitedly and the girls jumped around again.
"Okay we've got to stop that, it's going to get annoying fast. At least to everyone else " Sofia said
"Yeah I guess you're right but we can do it again when you and Nick get engaged, you guys might actually end up married before us since there's going to be a delay in the planning with me moving away for a while" Gabi said, slightly bummed.
"That gives us time to catch up, we can have that double wedding we dreamed about after all, that Josh can pay for" Sofia teased trying to perk her up.
"We can get started on the planning, what kind of wedding do you want? Are you going to go all fancy like Josh's first wedd…..nevermind" Sofia stopped short realizing she shouldn't bring up Josh's previous wedding plans.
"It's okay Sofia, I was there, that's all part of our story and no I definitely don't want fancy, that was all Caroline and I am definitely not Caroline"
"Thank God" Sofia said "Well what about Josh? He's pretty fancy pants himself"
"I don't know. This is all happening so fast we haven't had time to talk about it yet"
Josh came in "Great news, I found us a place" he announced. Gabi and Sofia just looked at him.
"As long as you approve it Ofcourse, happy wife happy life am I right?" Josh said nervously.
"He's gonna make a great husband" Sofia said patting his arm as she left the room.
"Yeah he is" Gabi smiled lovingly.
"Awww thanks babe" Josh said and kissed her as he sat down beside her. "Look at this place, I think it's perfect but if you don't like it we can keep looking" Josh said scrolling through the pictures on his phone. "It's got a view of the water, an extra bedroom for Sofia who will be there every weekend I'm guessing"
Gabi laughed "Happy wife happy life?. And holy crap did you really think I wouldn't like this place? It's incredible" she said.
"It is right? And it's close to the restaurant. So are we doing this?" He asked excitedly.
"I think we are" she agreed.
"Alright we have a place to live" he said "Up top" he said holding his hand up which she high fived.
"Can I just say we are doing great at making decisions together. This marriage thing is gonna be a piece of cake" he grinned.
"Speaking of marriage, it's all Sofia can talk about. She had all kinds of questions and I told her we would have to talk about it together and figure out what we want to do. Do you know what kind of wedding you might want?"
"Not really, I always just kind of thought it was up to the girl" he said
"I guess that's probably pretty accurate but I'm not gonna be that way. I want our wedding to be about both of us"
"Well what kind of wedding do you want?" He asked
"Something small just family and friends not tons of people we aren't close to" she said
"I don't know in our case family might be pushing it" he teased. No, I'm good with that. How about when?"
"I guess that depends on what we want to do, will it be barefoot on the beach in the Caribbean or in the snow in Aspen?"
"The possibilities are endless"
"Well that's nice and all but we have to narrow down all those possibilities"
"Gabi, I just want to marry you. I don't really care when or where or how it happens"
"Awww I feel the same way. But I guess it will have to be a while since we are going to be out of state for a while atleast, there's no time to plan"
"We could get married in Seattle" he suggested at which she scrunched up her face.
"Nope, not doing that. Moving on" he said after seeing her reaction then it hit him.
"Hey I've got an idea. We were already planning to invite everyone here for an engagement slash going away party, what if we get married then?"
Gabi's face lit up "Like a surprise wedding?" She asked.
"Sure" Josh readily agreed.
"But how would we even do that? Where would we have it? We have like no time"
"We could have it at my vineyard, there's an inn there for everyone to stay. It's beautiful, you'll love it"
"It sounds perfect but Josh are you sure you want to get married this fast? When your wedding with Caroline got moved up you kinda freaked out"
He took her hand "Totally different situation. I had doubts about marrying Caroline because it wasn't right. I have no doubts about us Gabi, I can't wait to be married to you".
She smiled happily "Okay, let's do it"
"Yes! I'll call the inn and get it reserved then we will get started calling everybody. I can send the Jet so nobody has to worry about any expenses getting there" Josh said already dialing the phone.
"Josh. I love the idea of it being a surprise but I want to tell Sofia, I always pictured us picking out my dress together"
"Go" he smiled and nodded toward Sofia's room. Gabi ran that way and Josh smiled when he heard them squealing with joy.
