About two hours later the doorbell buzzed and Debbie went to answer it. Her face lit up when she saw who it was.

"Brenda!" The two sisters hugged tightly and were soon joined in the hug by Rhoda and Suzi. Rhoda said,

"Bren! Why didn't you let us know you were going to fly in early? Someone could have ridden from the airport with you!"

"No, Rho. It's ok. I was able to get an earlier flight and It was no problem taking the cab by myself."

"Brenda!", Aunt Rose practically shouted. Brenda looked up and said nervously,

"Hi, Aunt Rose." Her Aunt Rose smothered her in a big bear hug.

"Hiya,Bess. Hi Mary.", said Brenda, suddenly noticing her.

"Hi Ms Brenda.", Bess replied

"Hi, Brenda. It's good to see you again.", Mary added.

"Likewise.", Brenda said. Marty and Ida were getting dessert on the table when they heard the commotion.

"Brenda, Honey! You're early!", Marty said, giving his youngest a hug. Ida came up and hugged Brenda as well and asked,

"Did you eat yet?" Brenda nodded.

"I ate dinner on the plane but I could still eat dessert." Everyone laughed and headed to the dining room.

After dessert, Brenda and Rhoda got the air mattresses out of the closet. Since Brenda was early there weren't going to be enough beds for everyone even with the couch. Suzi and Bess would get the air mattresses.

"At least it isn't nineteen of them, this time!" Rhoda jokingly said, getting laughs from both Mary and Bess but confused looks from everyone else. Bess explained.

"Last year I was having a sleepover and my mother tried to talk Mary into blowing up all the air mattresses. there were nineteen of us girls altogether. Luckily for Mary, she got a date that night."

"Bess, you weren't even there when Phyllis talked to me. How do you even know all this?"

"Phyllis tells me everything, remember, Aunt Mary?"

"Yeah, Mare. You should have known that we have no secrets from Phyllis OR Bess. Phyllis always finds out even what we DON'T tell her ,and then she tells Bess." ,Rhoda retorted. They finished getting the beds ready and then everyone got ready for bed. Tomorrow would be a big day.

The next morning, the doorbell buzzed. Brenda answered it and a good looking guy stood on the other side wearing a tux. He had wavy, honey-blonde hair ,and was really tall. He smiled and said,

"Hi. You must be either Brenda or Rhoda. I know you aren't Debbie." Brenda laughed and said,

"I'm Brenda. I'm guessing you're Eddie?"

"That's me."

"Come on in. Debbie's in getting ready, so you can't see her until the ceremony. I'll introduce you to the rest of the family who's here besides my folks, though. Brenda let Eddie in and led him over to the couch.

"Eddie, this is my sister, Rhoda, my Niece, Suzi, and their friends, Mary Richards and Bess Lindstrom." Eddie shook hands with everyone and Rhoda said,

"So what do ya do, Eddie? I mean for work.", Rhoda asked in typical older sister fashion. Eddie cleared his throat and said,

"Well, um, I own a photography studio." Rhoda looked impressed, and the two teenagers in the room were fascinated.

"Do you get to take pictures of clebrities and models?", Suzi asked with excitement.

"I actually shot some headshots for models and actors. I take in all kinds of business, from models, to weddings, to portraits.

"WOW. Do you make a lot of money doing that?", asked Brenda.

"I make enough to live comfortably, and to support a wife and someday, a family.", said Eddie, , Marty came back in wearing his suit and so, with him to keep Eddie company, the girls went back to finish getting ready.

Soon, it was time for the wedding guests to arrive. It was a fairly small wedding, but big compared to the size of the apartment. Debbie looked absolutely beautiful coming into the room on her father's arm. It was a traditional jewish wedding with the traditional vows. The readings were from the Psalms. Then, there was the wedding glass stepping. The Rabbi said the wedding prayer and closed the ceremony. After the wedding, there was a reception that all the guests were invited to. Debbie and Eddie mingled for awhile, and then Debbie went to change in to some travel clothes. After Eddie changed into some more comfortable clothes as well, they came out and said goodbye to their friends and family before heading to the cab that would take them to the airport and the Plane that would take them to their honeymoon destination.

Later, as they were cleaning up, Suzi asked,

"Aunt Rhoda, where are Aunt Debbie and Uncle Eddie going on their honeymoon?"

"I think she said they were going on a cruise down the panama canal. They are flying to Los Angeles tonight ,and the ship leaves from there tomorrow."

"Oh, wow! That sounds So much fun! I wish I could go on a cruise!"

"Well, maybe someday you will, baby. Anything could happen." Rhoda said to her neice, and then turned to her sister.

"Brenda, what's going on with you? You've been quiet ever sense the reception." Brenda sighed.

"Well, Rho, Michael left me. He said he didn't want to be tied down anymore."

"Oh Bren, I'm so sorry." , said Rhoda as she hugged her sister. Suzi and Mary both sensed that the sisters could use some time alone.

"Aunt Mary, can you help me in the dining room? Bess, can you come too?" Bess nodded and Mary replied,

"I think your grandparents could use some help out there." out the three headed, leaving Rhoda to talk to Brenda.

"Honey, are you ok?".Brenda was crying but shook her head.

"That's not the worst of it,Rho. They fired me at the firm. I think the two are connected because he broke up with me that night!"

"AWW, Brenda, sweetheart.", Rhoda said softly, as she stroked her sister's hair.

"What are you going to do now?", she added after Brenda had somewhat calmed down.

"I'm guess I'll move back here. Hopefully I won't have to stay with ma and Pop too long before I find new job and my own place."

"Brenda, you are a resourceful girl. You won't have any trouble finding a job quickly. And, you know I'm here whenever you need to talk."

"Thanks,Rho. You always know how to make me feel better." Rhoda gave her sister one more squeeze.

"What are big sisters for?" The two went to help finish cleaning up and then Rhoda, Brenda, Mary, and the two teens went to change. They were going for night out on the town before the Minneapolis group had to leave the next day. Suzi and Bess were epecially Mesmorized by all there was to see. They also enjoyed getting to see their first broadway show. Suzi knew she had the best family and friends every. She felt grateful to have so many blessings in her life.
