Chapter 7 The After Party
Our little group, including me, Dimitri, my bride's maids, and Dimitri's gang, go down the hall to the banquet room. We sit down at our table. From next door I hear an announcement being made by my mom, she's telling them that they can now proceed to the banquet room.
"Ready for the people to start flooding in? I just heard mom make the announcement."
"Yeah, I guess." Dimitri says.
Abe is the first one in.
"Welcome to the family." Abe says
Abe and Dimitri shake hands.
"Thanks dad." I say
"You have a good time at your party, I'll see you later." Abe says
"Where you going?" I ask
"Just over there, but I know I won't be able to get to you in a bit." Abe says
"Ah ok, see ya later."
"Yup." Abe says
"See I told you it'd work out." Dimitri says. He leans over and kisses me on the cheek.
People really start flooding in. They surround us. Tons of questions and congratulations.
We get our food. Christian made the best man toast. We ate, then the cake cutting. Of course Dimitri shoves the cake in my face. I shove a whole piece in his. We go to the dance floor. Our first dance, the song is "Our Song by Taylor Swift", it's amazing Dimitri can dance, and it's funny how I'm just now finding this out. I danced with Abe, Dimitri danced with mom and his mom.
Then I saw him, Adrian, he came. He makes it over.
"Congratulations, it was a beautiful service." Adrian says
"Thanks."
"May I have this dance?" he asks as he holds his arm out.
"Sure."
We dance. As the song ends Dimitri makes his way over.
"Thanks" Adrian says
"Yea, that was nice."
Dimitri is here now.
"Well, once again congratulations, and I'll see you later." Adrian says
"Thanks." Dimitri says
Adrian heads off, I don't know to where, probably to his usual place.
"It's time to throw the flowers and garter. Then we gotta go." Dimitri says
"Alright."
Lissa stands up in front
"It's time for the traditional flower and garter throwing. All the single women to the left, and all the single men to the right." Lissa says
I climb onto the stage and Lissa runs to the ladies group.
"1, 2, 3!" I bend backwards and toss, the flowers go flying, you would guess who catches them, just her luck, and Lissa catches it. Now watch Christian will knock over people trying to get to the garter.
"Ready. 1, 2, 3!" Dimitri says, he tosses it. All of the men are falling and trying to beat others to catch it. They're all on the floor, except Christian. He bends down and picks it up, holds it in the air, victory.
Lissa runs to Christian, he kisses her. I can see a future for them.
Dimitri walks over to me "Time to go." He says
"Alright, let's go."
Mom gets up and makes the announcement
"Bride and groom are leaving now." She says
Everyone follows us as we run to the car. Tears are running down everyone's eyes.
We wave goodbye.
I wonder where we are going Dimitri hasn't told me anything about our honeymoon, I didn't even get to pack, Lissa did it for me. A whole new adventure.
Review. i think you readers know what comes next, the honeymoon. and maybe some surprises along the way, no definitely surprises.
