A/N: Thanks for the reviews! On with Chapter 10! =D
Chapter 10: Part 1 of the Reception
The wedding reception took place in the restaurant on the rooftop of the Montgomery hotel, where Rocky and CeCe celebrated Dina's birthday many years ago. The railings were decorated with delicate, white fabric and dozens of red roses. A spotlight nearby hit the silver disco ball that was rotating on the ceiling, showering the room with little lights.
There were many round tables scattered around the restaurant, each seating about ten people and draped with white tablecloths. Fine china was covered with the delicious meals, prepared by Georgia, Marcie, Kashlack, and Squizza. In the middle of each table was a beautiful centerpiece, consisting of red roses in the vase and lit candles in the candle holders attached to the vase.
At the head table, Günther and CeCe were sitting in the middle, with a good view of the entire restaurant. Rocky sat on CeCe's right side, with Tinka next to her. Ty was seated next to Günther, with Deuce next to him.
Deuce's cousin, Ricardo, was running the music for the party. At one point, he looked up and noticed Rocky giving him a signal. He nodded, switched off the classical music that was playing, and made his way over to the head table to hand Rocky the microphone.
The music fading ended the conversations that were occurring in the restaurant. Everyone turned their attention to Rocky, who stood up and accepted the microphone from Ricardo.
"Thank you for your attention," Rocky said, politely. "I believe it's time for the speeches of the bridesmaids and groomsmen."
Günther and CeCe, along with everyone else in the hall, remained silent, listening attentively to the speeches that were to follow.
"You all may not know this, but I was the reason that Günther and CeCe hooked up in the first place," Rocky said, proudly.
"Oh, don't you dare, Rocky," CeCe muttered, narrowing her eyes at her best friend.
"You see, when CeCe and I were fourteen, we hosted our own web show where CeCe ended up giving bad advice to a guy," Rocky explained. "He couldn't get a date to the school dance, so she told him to transfer to another school, not knowing it was Günther. She felt guilty for separating him and Tinka and I suggested that she ask him to the dance, in hopes of getting him to stay here, so she did."
Günther, who heard this story before, couldn't help but smirk.
"At the dance, we discovered she actually gave the bad advice to Günther's cousin, Bobshka," Rocky said.
"Yeah, sorry about that, again!" CeCe called to Bobshka, who was sitting at a table with his twin sister, Krinkle, as well as Kashlack and Squizza.
Bobshka waved his hand, indicating that he accepted her apology.
"Anyway, after Günther found out that CeCe dated him out of pity, he broke up with her," Rocky continued. "However, several months later, he learned that CeCe used the pity card to cover up her true feelings for him. Eventually, feelings were revealed and they have been together ever since."
Several people in the crowd sighed, happily, at the romance that blossomed in the story.
Rocky reached for her wine glass and lifted it into the air for a toast, saying, "To my best friend, CeCe and her new husband, Günther. May you two continue to live a happy life together!"
Everyone cheered and applauded, as Rocky handed the microphone to Tinka and sat back down in her seat. Günther smiled, as his twin sister stood up and cleared her throat.
"What to say about CeCe?" she said, looking deep in thought. "Well, she can not cook, her hair looks terrible, her outfits lack sparkles, bad comments will often fly out of her mouth at random times...chicken beaks, I lost my point."
"Got anything good to say, oh sister-in-law of mine?" CeCe questioned, annoyed.
"Oh!" Tinka said, remembering something. "She can not do a lot of things correctly. Her schemes often fail, she does not do well in school, and she gives bad advice."
CeCe was taken aback as Günther quickly grabbed her fork and knife and gave it to Ty, preventing her from doing anything drastic to Tinka.
"However, she does do something correctly," Tinka added, turning to smile at CeCe. "She makes my brother happy."
CeCe returned the smile, as Günther wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer to him.
"I love my brother dearly and I know you do, too," Tinka said to CeCe. "I am putting our differences aside, as well as my trust in your hands. Do not hurt Günther, ever. The both of you, take care of each other and be happy."
Tinka's speech also received cheers and applause from the wedding guests. She handed the microphone to Rocky, who passed it down to CeCe, who handed it to Günther, who gave it to Ty.
"I never thought I would be here today at Günther and CeCe's wedding, giving a speech," Ty said. "No, seriously, I never thought Günther and CeCe would ever get together in the first place. It shocked me, almost as much as when I found out they would be getting married. I swore, I think I saw pigs fly that day."
Everyone laughed at Ty's sense of humour, including Tinka. It was just one of the many things that she loved about him.
"But, it happened," Ty continued, turning to Günther and CeCe. "Congrats to you both. Günther, man, you better treat her right. CeCe is like my sister. If you hurt her, I will take your precious betwinklers and smash them to bits, got it?"
Günther nodded, gulping. He would never hurt CeCe, so Ty's threat was not necessary. However, that did not mean the threat did not frighten him.
"Good luck to you, two," Ty said, with a smile. "Thanks."
Everyone applauded and cheered after hearing Ty's speech. Ty slapped Günther on the back in a friendly way, before passing the microphone over to Deuce, who stood up to make the final speech.
"Rocky, Tinka, and Ty pretty much said it all," Deuce said, with a laugh, as he lifted up his wine glass. "Congrats Günther and CeCe, here's to many more years together."
Another round of applause concluded the round of speeches from both wedding parties.
After the speeches, Günther and CeCe cut their red velvet wedding cheesecake and everyone got a chance to sample it. Günther and CeCe had fun feeding each other pieces of cake and looked silly while doing so.
Soon after, Rocky announced that it was time for the bride and groom's first dance. CeCe was led onto the dance floor by Günther and they danced a waltz to the first song that they ever danced to back in high school. The guests were in for a surprise when the song "Twist My Hips" started playing after the end of the waltz, and the newlyweds started dancing their surprise, choreographed routine. Everyone was impressed by CeCe's ability to hip-hop in her dress and heels.
The father-daughter and mother-son dances followed the newlyweds' dances. Since JJ Jones did not show up to the wedding, Flynn offered to dance with his sister in his place, which CeCe was grateful for. Günther happily danced with Squizza, being careful not to tread on her long, blonde braid.
When the song ended, Rocky, who was handed the microphone by Deuce, announced, "Okay, everyone, let's get to the wedding traditions, shall we?"
Everyone watched as Flynn grabbed an empty chair nearby and went over to place it directly in the middle of the dance floor. He looked at CeCe and gestured to the chair.
CeCe, blushing furiously, made her way to the dance floor and took a seat in the chair. Ty and Deuce each grabbed one of Günther's arms, dragged the confused groom onto the dance floor, and placed him directly in front of CeCe.
"Günther, you like to be traditional, so let's begin the Western traditions," Rocky suggested, with a smirk. "Take CeCe's garter off."
There were a lot of wolf whistles and cat calls as a red-faced Günther got down on his knees and slipped his hands under CeCe's dress. CeCe's face heated up, as she felt Günther run his hands up her legs and pull the garter down. After slipping it carefully off of her, so it did not get caught on her heels, he stood up and held it out.
"Will all the single gentlemen make their way to the dance floor please?" Rocky asked, politely.
Deuce and Ty joined the group of single men on the dance floor, which included people like Gary, Flynn, Bobshka, Klaus, and Henry.
"Fire away, Günther," Rocky instructed, once the men were ready.
Günther raised an eyebrow, but he obeyed and pulled the garter back like a slingshot. He took careful aim, so it would not land anywhere but the group of men on the dance floor, and released it.
Most of the men watched the garter head towards them and smirked. Simultaneously, as secretly planned, they took a large step to the side, leaving Ty alone in the middle of the dance floor. Everyone cheered when the garter landed in his hands.
Rocky smirked and pulled her confused brother off of the dance floor, before stepping forward and handing CeCe her bouquet of roses.
"Okay, CeCe," Rocky said into the microphone. "Your turn. All the single ladies, to the dance floor!"
Rocky handed the microphone to Deuce, before following Tinka onto the dance floor. They were soon joined by a group of single women, including Georgia, Krinkle, Dina, and Susie.
"Looks like the ladies are ready," Deuce said into the microphone. "Toss it, CeCe!"
CeCe stood up and, with her back to the group of single women, tossed her bouquet behind her. All of the ladies jumped up with their hands in the air, desperately trying to catch it. However, CeCe's bad aiming skills (which explained her bad high school physical education marks) resulted in the bouquet flying over the group of women and Deuce catching it totally by accident.
There was an awkward moment of silence, as everyone in the restaurant stared at Deuce. Deuce, blushing bright red, turned and handed the flowers to Tinka, who accepted them with a look of confusion on her face. Rocky stepped off of the floor and took the microphone from a flushing Deuce.
"Well, um, okay then," Rocky said, after several minutes of unbearable silence. "These traditions predict that Ty and Tinka will be the next to marry, but before we get to that, how about a dance by the two of them?"
Instantly, a soft melody started playing in the background. Ty took a deep breath, walked onto the dance floor, and extended his hand out to a blushing Tinka.
"Shall we?" he asked, charmingly.
"We shall," Tinka answered, with a smile.
Rocky took the bouquet from Tinka and watched with a smirk as Tinka took Ty's hand and allowed him to pull her closer to him.
