R&R
"She scrubs up good", Charley said to Garry quietly, as he caught sight of the four girls. "They all do!"
"Wow, she looks gorgeous", Guy agreed- only he wasn't speaking about the blushing bride.
"Wow". Garry's eyes shone, as Bridget, Cassie and Loren led Bec down the sand.
The four guys had plain black suits, with their ties matching the girls' dresses. Cassie, Loren and Bridget were wearing the ocean blue dresses that they had chosen at the beginning of the whole adventure, barefooted against the sand.
Bec's dress flowed down her body, fitting her perfectly. Pure white, it stopped just below her knee, exposing her bare feet. It was perfectly casual for the occasion, and it was just a Bec dress (Loren had no other way to describe it, making Cassie giggle).
According to Bec and Garry, their wedding was going to be the smallest one known to man. They had Garry's parents and his sister's family (her husband and two young children), Bec's parents and brothers with their respective partners, and their six original kids. Simmo and Deb, upon finding out about Bec's impending wedding, had made their presence known, almost disgusted about not knowing (making Garry chuckle and Bec glare at him).
However, when Bec realised they didn't have a photographer (a dilemma that would haunt Garry for the rest of his days), she called a friend from her year at the academy, Heath Carroll (who brought Fly Watson with him, and the promise to send photos to their friends).
"They all look beautiful", Adam nodded, grinning as the girls shone.
"Bec, there aren't enough words in the dictionary to tell you how much you mean to me", Garry almost whispered, taking Bec's hand in his own. "Waking up beside you every morning, is all I want for the rest of my life. You are perfect. You're smart and beautiful and have an absolute heart of gold. I can't wait to grow old with you, to watch the waves roll in and out on the beach we call home".
Bec had tears pouring down her face, as she remembered the trouble she had writing her vows. As hard as she tried, she couldn't put the words down, and had ended up crying on the phone to Bridget. And then Cassie. And then Loren.
"Garry, from that very first day, I knew there was something special", Bec whispered. "I knew that you were different, different from everyone else. Together, we made it through a whole year at Solar Blue, and I can't wait to spend so many more. I used to be scared of falling in love... until I met you. I won't ask you for the moon and the stars… I just ask for you to stand under them with me".
Tears rolled down Bridget's face, as she watched the two coaches she loved like her older siblings.
"You may kiss the bride".
As Garry pulled Bec into a kiss, the three boys let out wolf whistles and cheers, sending Bridget, Loren and Cassie into hysterics and making Bec blush deeply.
