A/N. I have been working on a one-shot... but I do want a happy ending for this wedding!
I Now Pronounce You Mr & Mrs Edweirdo.
"OK, I've got something to say... today... hey this poetry thing is pretty easy. I don't know why Casey sucks at it so badly." he swaggered as he took the microphone and then laughed at his own joke.
"George, do something." Nora whispered loudly.
"No no. Let's wait and see where this is going" he answered, he was curious to what sort of a speech Derek would make, since it had taken him a while to get completely used to the idea of Edwin marrying a McDonald.
"Lizzie. Dear, dear Lizzie" he stumbled over to her. She hid her face in Edwin's shirt and jacket. "I'd say welcome to the family, but we already said that nine years ago, didn't we?" He hiccuped loudly.
"Yeah, OK Derek" Edwin responded getting tight lipped.
'"And Edwin" He clasped Edwin on the shoulder and Edwin stood with him, faking a smile to the rest of the family. "This is my dear brother Edwin. He's the best. You really are the best Edwin."
Edwin raised an eyebrow, "Uh, Derek, are you feeling OK?"
"Of course I am. Can't a man be proud of his little brother? Can't someone express how they feel about a certain family member without getting jumped on?" Derek started getting teary-eyed and hugged Edwin to him. "I love ya bro."
Edwin giggled apprehensively, "Uh, right back at ya."
"Now it's not that I don't support the union. I would have been for Edwin practicing kissing Lizzie instead of stuffed toys in the closet..."
Edwin raised his other eyebrow ignoring the stifled chuckles of those around them. "Thanks Derek."
"No problem" Derek continued obliviously, ready to ramble yet again. "Now as the best man I'm entitled to a speech. I am the best man, aren't I?"
"I-I guess." Edwin mouthed the word 'help' to his father who shrugged haplessly.
"OK and as the best man, I have to say that you've made it hard for me... breaking the Venturi male tradition of marrying a McDonald... you've made it really, really hard..." he gazed at Casey for what seemed like an eternity before falling over the wedding table.
"Ho-boy" said George raising his eyebrows and figuring now was the time to step in...
Oh Drunken Derek, what WON'T you do? ;)
Reviews keep Drunken Derek happy (you don't want him to get mad do you?)
