Ooooh it's been a while.
But an update. Lets party

-Mello-
I stood just deep enough in the water than anything…inappropriate was covered.
"You coming?" I looked over my shoulder at Matt. He looked hesitant.
"Come on." I sighed irritated. Finally he stood taking his trunks off walking out to me, pulling me into deeper water.
"We are so going to get caught…"
I laughed kissing him, irritation gone now that he was with me. "And we're two grown, consenting adults. What are they going to say about it?"
"Mello! They are my parents!"
"So?" I just pulled him to deeper water teasing him "come play with me."
He groaned, but pulled away. "No...Not until the honeymoon…"
"Matt, we're about as non-traditional as they come. You're not going to make me stay away from you for two days before are you?"
He looked horrified at that. "Hell no! I just know how antsy you get after a few days of nothing." He smirked, "And it will be amazing when you finally do."
I groaned pressing close. "You cruel, cruel man…" Sighing I kissed him. "Come on, you're turning pink."
Taking his hand we walked back to the beach, slipping our pants back on. We went to our room to dress for dinner.
Over the course of the week I insisted Matt spend time with his family. His mother, however, insisted on helping me with all the final preparations. At first I was dismayed, I wanted them to have family time; soon I was grateful for her help. Things were getting crazy and I wanted to kill someone. People were yelling at each other, at me, constant questioning… Her gentle hand and soft voice could calm me right down.
It was the night before and everything looked good. The white gazebo overlooked the ocean, mint green and turquoise gossamer hung from it. White wooden chairs set on docking, rows alternating in the two colours. No flowers, but plenty of green tropical plants. It was very simple. Nodding in content at it I went to double check with the reception area, and the caterers and the DJ and String Quartet.
Several tents, sides tied open were placed along the beach, more docking made it possible to walk in shoes and to lay a dance floor, twinkling lights hung from the tops of the tents, candles waiting to be lit were on the tables. More green and blue decorated the space.
The DJ was all set to go, (Matt still wouldn't tell me what he picked for the first dance bastard) and the string quartet had their playlist. Several Rock songs would be played by them before the ceremony:
Stairway to Heaven
I Don't Want to Miss a Thing
All I Want is You
Living on a Prayer
I was Made for Loving You
Then we were to be Walking into You're Guardian Angel, and exiting to Can't Help Falling In Love.
The Caterer had the menu: steak and shrimp with grilled pineapple, grilled chicken with mango salsa, and a salad with mango, pineapple, and papaya in it. I looked over the appetizers, sides and desserts. Content with it all, I double checked the cakes (white chocolate with chocolate covered strawberries, and angel cake with pineapple). My OCD obsessive checks done I went back to the room. Matt was already asleep. I smiled slipping in next to him. He stirred slightly pulling me close before dozing back off. Tomorrow couldn't come soon enough.
The next morning we dressed (white linen pants and button-up shirts, and I had my hair tied up) and walked (barefoot) to where we waited for our turn down the aisle. Our song began to play, and holding Matt's hand we walked down the strip of sand to the gazebo. Our faces pressed close, we just pretended to listen to what the justice was saying. We were too busy having a silent conversation with smiles, winks, looks and foreheads pressed together. We paid just enough attention to know when to say "I do."
They couldn't even finish "Pronounce" before Matt had me pressed close spinning around as he kissed me. I laughed happily nuzzling our faces together.
"Stuck with me now."
Green eyes finally revealed from behind goggles twinkled back happily. "Good."
We took pictures before walking down the beach hand in hand toward the tents. We had just come into sight when the DJ Announced "I present to you the Jeevas-Keehls!"
Matt looked over in shock. We had never discussed it per say, but I knew he assumed he would take my name. I just smiled. We walked in to cheering and took our seats for dinner. We ate, cut the cake and drank the first of the champagne.
"Now I'm turning it back over to the string quartet for the couple's first dance."
I looked over to Matt but he just smiled and took my hand leading me to the dance floor. The notes started and it sounded familiar, but it wasn't until he started singing softly in my ear that I recognized it.
"Well, now you done, done me in your bed I felt it I tried to be chill, but you're so hot that I melted…."
I laughed kissing him singing the chorus with him "No I won't hesitate no more no more, this is our fate. I'm yours."
We left early, knowing the party would go on into the morning, but it was time for us.
We left our room, moving to the Honeymoon suite. Blushing softly I kissed him before disappearing into the bath, returning a few minutes later in a wedding gown.
"Just because I told Misa no dress doesn't mean I won't wear one for you…one of us needs to after all…"
I laughed nervously, but when he pinned me to the bed kissing me hungrily I knew I made the right call.
