Bud invited everybody for a movie night.
It was a chance for Diana to be around other children and to see other wesson who did not plot to take over the world or overthrow governments.
They decided on family friendly comedies. Movies where there was no real plot. Just silly characters doing crazy stuff, though with always the best of intentions.
The current movie was one of those multiple storyline and points of view types. It featured a resort hotel that was hosting several different weddings. The challenges that each wedding faced were real life, everyday problems, but played off with a comedic twist.
The first story featured a bridezilla who was driving everyone around her crazy with her outrageous demands. From seeing invisible stains on her wedding dress, to thinking the flowers looked wilted and demanding fresher replacements.
"Any of your wives act like that." Wu asked Hank.
"The second one did, should have been a clue to how the marriage would be. The fourth woman I was engaged to also acted like that, but she called off the wedding before the invitations were sent, so at least others were saved that grief." Hank replied.
Another storyline featured meddling mothers who claimed to only want the best for their children. Though each had a different opinion to what that was, and would go behind their own children's backs to get one up on the other in order to get their way.
Nick heard Bud mumble something about his own mother in-law, and sounding familiar, but he had quieted quickly when his wife looked over at him.
There was also a sister who was upset her younger sibling was getting married before her and tried to sabotage the event, but was alway interrupted before any real harm could be done.
"My sister ruining our grandmothers dress was the best wedding gift she gave me" Rosalie smiles remembering. It had meant a lot to her that her in-laws had bought her that perfect dress she had wanted.
In the movie, the young couple were so upset with their family's antics that they threatened to un invite all of them if they did not behave.
But it was the story about a woman with a daughter that Diana seemed to be most interested in.
In this story, the little girl was the spitting image of her mother the bride. The girl wore a dress similar to the bride's dress, but had a crown of roses on her head, while the bride wore three roses above her flowing veil.
Both mother and daughter had blonde hair and blue eyes. The groom, who was obviously to be the step dad to the little girl, had dark hair and blue eyes. He gave his step daughter a locket, as a way of showing her he was committed to being a father, in the same manner giving his bride a ring meant he was committed to being a husband.
Diana turned and looked at Nick and Adalind. They could see her making comparisons from the movie to the situation they were in at the moment.
The similarities were not lost on the other members of the group either.
"Are you two getting married" Diana asked.
"We haven't talked about it and our relationship is still too new to really think about that right now" Adalind explained.
"But you love each other. He wants to marry you and you want the same thing, I can tell." Diana said matter of factly, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Adalind stared in shock at her daughter, mouth literally hanging open, purposely avoiding looking at anyone else, especially Nick.
Nick however felt no embarrassment or need to dismiss the girls observations. "Your mother and I want to take our time, to make sure we are not rushing into anything. We have both been through alot and have made some decisions we regret, and some we don't. We want to be certain committing our lives to one another fits in the second category, not the first."
Diana seemed to understand what Nick was saying. She could see how much he loved her mother and how much her mother loved him. They just needed a little more time to not be so afraid.
They continued watching the rest of the movie in relative silence, it ended with everyone getting what they deserved, for better or worse.
Adalind wondered if what she deserved was a life with Nick and her children or a life where she would lose everyone she loved and either wound up alone or dead.
Nick was imagining a life with Adalind and their children. He hoped he would live long enough to see it, though grimms really did not have long life spans. Still, he dreamed of being married to the woman he loved and watching their kids grow up.
He had a feeling if he proposed anytime soon Adalind would think he was only doing it to make her or Diana happy, or because he felt obligated.
So they needed a little more time to figure this thing out.
Monroe started to plan. He knew that clock he was restoring would be the perfect wedding gift to Nick and Adalind.
