Chapter 11 Part 2: Wedding Day
Morning came early as three women stumbled out of their beds and into the kitchen of Emily's apartment; to everyone's surprise Brie was there cooking breakfast.
"Good morning sleepy heads, coffee is ready, mugs are beside the pot and breakfast will be done in five minutes so go have a seat." The young chef states cheerily, making the other women groan.
As the three sat down, the chef hums lightly flipping steaks and making sure the eggs are over medium with a nice runny yolk.
Slowly sipping her coffee, Emily began to wake up and smell the wonderful breakfast being made; then she had a thought.
"Brie, how did you get into the apartment?"
Smirking the chef brings breakfast over, "That's easy, I have Miley's key." Serving up the eggs and steak to each plate, then moving back to the kitchen, "She gave it to me a few days ago."
The blonde singer glares at her best friend, "Why did you give her the key?"
Yawning, Miley eats some of her steak "She told me she wanted to do something the morning of the wedding. I didn't know it was breakfast. Thanks Brie!"
Chuckling, Brie tosses the key on the table "Wasn't gonna keep it, Em."
Nodding Emily begins to eat her breakfast quietly, knowing it was going to be a long five hours.
After breakfast, Brie left to go help her best friend get ready for the wedding in a few hours; while the rest in Emily's apartment were getting things together to go to a private salon.
"Do we have everything?" Miley asks as they walk towards the door.
Looking about Mamaw nods, "Yes honey we have everything, now get your lil' butt out that door!"
"Alright, alright!" the singer laughs as she is pushed out the front door and down the hall.
Emily locks the door and trails after her best friend and grandmother, seeing the brunette already starting to fidget with the sleeves of her button down shirt.
As they all get in the elevator, the blonde rests a hand on the singer's shoulder "It's going to go off without a hitch Miles."
Smiling thankfully, Miley takes a deep breath, "That's not what I am worried about."
"What are you worried about then?"
The nest word that came out of the singer's mouth shocked her best friend and her grandmother.
"Kennedy"
~At the Condo~
Billy Ray knocks on the master bedroom door for the fourth time, "Ken, get your ass out of bed!"
Inside he heard a low groan, and against his better judgment he decided to go on.
As he opened the door, he saw a tuft of black hair peeking out from the top of the covers, "For god's sake woman you need to get up!"
As he reached for the covers, his hands stilled hearing Kennedy talking. 'Is she talking in her sleep?' he thought to himself and waited.
~In Kennedy's Dream~
"YOU DON'T KNOW THAT!" Kennedy screams looking at a figure just in front of her, "What if she decides she doesn't want me, that she falls out of love with me?"
"Then you take it one day at a time, Ken…she is totally in love with you. I can see that from all the way up here!"
The figure steps closer.
"Michelle, I dunno if I can do this. I love her but this is such a risk!" The CEO starts to pace back and forth, wringing her hands together; until a pair of hands took hers.
"Look at me Ken." When the woman wouldn't look up, the figure tugged her closer, "Kennedy…love look at me please."
Finally she looks up at Michelle.
Giving Kennedy's hands a squeeze, Michelle Smiles, "For the mere reason that you are so nervous shows you, that Miley is right for you."
"But Michelle…she isn't you."
"Thank the Goddess she isn't me Ken!" Laughing Michelle pulls her former lover into her arms, "I'm not ever going to be there physically ever again, but Miley is there and she loves you with all she has and you…girl you are so in love with her, you put what we had to shame!"
Kennedy looks shocked pulling back from the hug, "How can you even say that!?"
"Because it's true, Ken. I will always love you and we will see each other again…hopefully way way way in the future, and I will meet Miley too. But you love each other, don't let it go."
"Are you sure?" Kennedy's voice sounded small.
Cupping the CEO's face, Michelle nods "I'm more than sure honey, go to your soon to be wife and enjoy life!"
Nodding Kennedy pulls Michelle into a hug, "I will never forget you."
Hugging back tightly, Michelle smiles "I'll be watching over both of you, now go I think your father-in-law to be is trying to wake you up, and love her with everything you have Kennedy, like you did me and more."
Smiling Kennedy begins to slowly wake up, leaving the past behind her.
~Back in Kennedy's Bedroom~
The older man was a bit shocked to hear what came from Kennedy's lips, until he realized what might be happening; he gently shakes the younger woman's shoulder.
"C'mon bud, you need to wake up, big day today."
Slowly her head peeks out of the covers and she blinks, "Hey dad…"
"Heya bud, c'mon we gotta get going. You have breakfast and Brie is here and we let you sleep in a bit too much I think. Wedding is in three hours."
"THREE HOURS!?" Instantly Kennedy was out of bed and into the master bath showering.
"I'll errr be out in the living room!" He yells over the sound of running water as he leaves.
"Hey Billy Ray, is Ken up yet?" the chef asks handing the man a glass of chilled water.
"Yes, finally. Though she was having a rather interesting dream, who is a Michelle?" he asks, sitting down on the couch.
The dead silence that greeted his question gave him some idea who Michelle might have been, he remembered an article on Kennedy about her quick rise to power in the music industry and how she mentioned she was fueled from something in her past.
"Well ummm…I'm not sure I…" before the chef could stutter anymore the CEO came walking down the hall, knowing what he had asked her friend.
"Michelle was my longtime girlfriend from when I turned twenty to just before I, shall we say came into money…" the raven haired woman grabbed a glass, filling it with water.
"What happened to her?" the man asks quietly, hoping he wasn't pushing too much.
"She died, she was walking to work and some idiot ran her down." Kennedy leaves out the part that the man who ran her down was now in jail thanks to Miley.
Rising from his seat, Billy Ray moves and pulls Kennedy into a hug "I am sorry hun."
Hugging back, Kennedy smiles giving him a good squeeze "It's in the past dad, plus no sad tears, it's my wedding day!"
He looks at her, "So you got everything talked out then?"
The woman's eyes widened realizing what her soon to be father-in-law meant, "Oh um, yes it's done and uhhh no cold feet?"
"Good, glad that is settled then." Billy Ray takes a sip from his glass smiling.
Brie looks at them both confused, but shrugs before she holds up a clothes bag, "Here is your tuxedo, when do we get to see it?"
Taking the bag, Kennedy grins "When I am standing at the alter waiting for Miley to come down the aisle, what are we doing for the next…" she looks at her watch "…two hours?"
Walking up to the two, the brunette chef smiles "We have brunch at the local café down and around the corner, and then we head to the Park and stuff you into a tent until the ceremony begins!"
The squeal that came from Brie shocks the young CEO and she gets wide eyed.
"I don't…ever think I…heard you squeal before…"
Blushing the chef ducks her head, "My best friend is getting married, I CAN SQUEAL!" following her statement with a loud squeal.
Grabbing her keys, Kennedy looks at the two, "Shall we then?"
Before she could get to the door, Billy Ray snatched the keys, "Uh huh buddy, we have a ride waiting for us already. C'mon!"
They both drag Kennedy down to the parking garage to where a large black hummer limo sat waiting.
"A hummer limo? You guys the café is not far and the park is only a fifteen minute drive…well when I drive anyway…"
"Just get your ass in the hummer Ken!"
Brie states, pushing the woman through the back door; followed by herself and Billy Ray.
The hummer slowly leaves the garage and drives into L.A. traffic.
~At the Salon~
"So half down and half up?" the stylist asks in confusion.
"Yes, with curls on the up-do…" the singer states a bit irritated, then something caught her eye in a magazine, "Hold up!"
She grabs the magazine and looks at the picture, "No I decided something different and shocking, this…" she points to the picture.
Showed short messy hair on top with the sides being extremely short.
"Do that with the sides maybe a lil' longer than that please."
Both Emily and Mamaw look at the woman shocked, "You really want it that short?" Mamaw asks.
"Yes, different and I think Kennedy will like it."
At the mention of Kennedy, the stylist finally came out of her morning fogged mind and realized who was in her chair.
"Alright Ms. Cyrus, if you want this will be very easy, should go well with your light hair." She began to get the scissors and razor she needed.
Emily shrugs and sits in the chair next to her friend to get her hair down, as well as Mamaw in the next chair; both hoping Miley knew what she was doing.
Miley watches as the stylist begins to crop her hair off, long strands falling to the floor, but smiling as the transformation starts to take place.
The stylist herself can't help but cringe internally as she cuts the singer's hair to almost nothing, then begins to shorten the sides.
It took all of fifteen minutes to finish the hair, and secure the small veil easily into the new haircut; after makeup was done the chair was turned so the singer could see the finished result.
The singer's eyes went wide, and a grin spread across her face like no other "It's perfect!"
The stylist sighs in relief, glad she didn't butcher some celebrities hair and smiles "Well these two have a bit to go, would you like a coffee, or a snack?"
Nodding Miley plays with her hair a bit, "Can I just get a water, not really hungry."
"No problem, be right back."
Relaxing into her chair, she closes her eyes just remembering the night that she was proposed too.
Two chairs down, Mamaw nudges Emily and points to Miley, "You have it Emily?" she whispers.
Nodding Emily leans over and puts a mug in her best friends hand like the stylist forgot and brought her coffee, but what was in the mug was just too sickly sweet.
Scrunching her brow is confusion; the singer shrugs and takes a sip; as soon as the liquid touches her tongue she jumps up spluttering.
Then hearing laughter from her right side; the brunette turns and glares at her best friend, and grandmother "Why?"
"Because it's hilarious dear" her grandmother responded, just as the stylist came back with water.
"Water?" the woman offers it to the singer.
"Yes, thank you." Taking it Miley downs almost all of it, trying to get the sickly sweet taste out of her mouth.
As the other two women laugh, the stylist shrugs and walks off since she has no other client for over an hour.
~About an Hour Later at The Park~
Kennedy paced around her tent, already having changed into her tuxedo; if it could be called that.
It was a silk red shirt, with the top three buttons undone, black sport coat with matching silk liner and a red rose in her lapel.
The pants were the same soft black material as the coat, cut straight with a slight flare at the bottom; with sleek black boots to match, not to mention a custom made Felt fedora to match the ensemble.
She had decided to not have anyone in the tent with her, so that her outfit was a simple surprise; thought it had cost probably more than Miley's wedding dress which is why she paid cash for it.
She didn't need her soon-to-be-wife griping at the cost of her suit, which would be used in the future too.
Every so often she would hear guests arrive, many famous: Oprah, Selena Gomez and the like; but then she would hear voices she recognized of her family or Miley's.
A few minutes pass and a woman enters the tent, "Hello Kennedy, ready to go out there soon?"
"Yes, I am very much ready, how does everything look? I was rushed back into this tent so didn't get a chance to see everything yet."
"It looks beautiful, your friends did a great job, now you have your vows ready?"
"Yes, and thanks so much for doing this Lisa." The CEO pulls the woman into a hug.
Hugging back the officiate smiles, "This is why I wanted to be an ordained minister, to help everyone, even same sex couples. I'll be back in a few minutes then we can start alright?"
Receiving a nod from the 'groom' the minister disappears back outside.
~Inside Miley's Tent~
"Okay, are we starting yet, is everyone here?" the bride asks getting a bit impatient.
Mamaw looks out the tent flap, "Looks like the last few are sitting down, we will begin soon."
Sighing, Miley sits down being careful not to put any wrinkles in the simple dress she was wearing.
It had thin white straps, and was more a sundress with how it flowed; but Miley thought it was quite literally simply perfect.
The hem was cut at an angle giving more flow to the dress as it stops just at her ankles on one side, with a lightly tied sash at her waist.
"Okay everyone is ready and Kennedy is standing at the alter…Miley she looks insanely hot!" Emily gushes as she enters the tent.
"Right, let's get this show on the road!" Standing she gets in line behind Mamaw and Emily.
As Emily Exits the tent, Brie is there, in a similar suit to Kennedy but in dark blue, to escort her down the aisle.
Then it was Mamaw's turn, being escorted by one of Kennedy's child hood friends named Zach, who was wearing a dark purple silk shirt under his suit.
Finally it was Miley's Turn, her dad opened the flap and smiled with tears in his eyes, "You look gorgeous Miles."
He offers his arm, which she happily takes and notices her dad's attire.
"You look slick dad."
He had a full tuxedo with red embellishments to match the 'groom' a bit.
"Ready darlin'?"
"As I'll ever be daddy."
They step out and round the corner coming into view of the guests and most important Kennedy.
Both women's eyes lock on each other, taking in each other's outfit; neither heard the song 'In Your Arms' by Plumb that was being played.
All they saw were each other; the rest of the world seemed to disappear, though Kennedy was slightly surprised to see her brides hair very short.
Soon Miley was standing next to Kennedy, while the older woman shook her dad's hand; and then took hers squeezing it lovingly.
Leaning into her bride the CEO whispers, "I love you and you look amazing"
Then Lisa began to speak:
"We are gathered here today, friends and family to witness of not two souls, but of one soul that has been in two pieces for many years. Today this soul becomes one within two beautiful people who love each other wholly. Many people in this world are looking for their soul-mate, wondering where he or she is and what they are doing.
Over a year ago, these two women found each other, and through adversity, public rumors and even some family differences to overcome, but now they now stand before you and before the God and Goddess to proclaim their love to the world and join together in matrimony for the rest of their lives.
If anyone here has a GOOD reason why they should not be wed, speak no or forever hold your tongue"
Instantly Brie and Emily were standing directly behind their friends and glaring at everyone; daring anyone to object which resulted in the majority of the audience chuckling.
Smiling Lisa continues looking at the couple, "You both have come so far from where you started out, all couples will have their days when things don't go well. In these times is when you must remember that you are a team, working together to better each other and those around you."
She looks at the audience.
"Now the couple has written their own vows…" She looks to Miley, "Miley you may begin."
The singer looks up into loving silver eyes and takes a breath.
"Kennedy, for a long while I thought I would never find anyone for me, one I was dating guys and well that didn't quite work out…"
The audience laughs.
"But then this amazing thing happens, a gorgeous woman buys my record company, plus some others and I find out she wants to work specifically with me. This blew me away, from the moment I saw you, I knew I found who I wanted to be with. From the first touch, to the last, our first breath's together to whispering 'I love yous' as our last breath. No matter what comes at us, I will be by your side through it all. The Bad, the good and whatever is in-be-tween, my heart and my soul are yours. I love you."
Throughout the vows, Kennedy suppressed her tears smiling and listening in rapt attention; and then it was her turn.
"Miley, at one point in my life I thought I had everything, but there was one thing or one person missing. You, you are the one I wake up thinking about, and go to sleep thinking about, when you're near I breathe easier. When I am away from you it's harder for me to breathe but you always ease everything.
You are the sun in my day, the moonlight that lights my way at night and the siren's call I would gladly fall under over and over again. From today to forever, I will be here for you, when it gets tough and when it's easy I will never be far. I love you."
"Do you have rings?" The minister asks with a smile.
Both women turn, Miley to her maid of honor, receiving a simple white gold wedding band with black diamonds encrusted in it; while Kennedy turns to her best-woman and gets a rather dazzling black diamond ring, where the large diamond is set between four smaller white diamonds.
They each place the rings on the bible the minister held out, and then she took one holding it up.
"These rings are a symbol of love and a bond that cannot be broken, the circle unending as is Miley and Kennedy's love. Kennedy please take this ring and place it on your bride's finger repeating after me."
Taking the ring and slipping it on Miley's left ring finger she repeats, "With this ring, I am bound to you now and forever."
Then Miley takes Kennedy's wedding ring and places it on her ring finger, repeating "With this ring, I am bound to you now and forever."
Both women look at each other with the largest smiles anyone has ever seen on their faces.
"I know pronounce you wife and wife, Kennedy you may kiss your bride!"
Stepping closer, Kennedy pulls her wife to her and crushes her lips to the singer's; which Miley happily returns as friends and family cheer them on.
After a few seconds they part and rest foreheads together, "I love you so much." They both say at the same time and then giggle.
"It is my honor to introduce to you for the first time, Mrs. And Mrs. Cyrus-Souls!" The minister proclaims as she steps back.
The couple takes each other hand's and begins to walk down the aisle, shaking hands and receiving hugs from various people.
Finally they made it back to one of the tents and ducked inside, instantly coming together in a searing kiss.
Only breaking apart when they needed to get air into their lungs.
"How does it feel being Mrs. Cyrus-Souls, love?" Kennedy asks starting to look at Miley's new haircut.
"Mmmm I love it, and uhh do you like the haircut?" Miley was still a bit nervous about her wife's reaction to it.
The older woman thought a moment, as she carefully took the headband/veil off and ran her fingers through the short locks.
"I love it baby!"
Smiling, Miley leans up and places another kiss on her wife's lips "We should head out to the reception love."
Purring against soft lips, Kennedy snakes her hand to the back f Miley's neck and holds her lips against hers just a little longer; then they break apart with a small pop.
"Yeah, I'm a lil hungry too, but not just for food." Kennedy states with a wink, before taking Miley's hand and walking her to the hummer limo.
"Wow, nice ride babe!" the singer states, climbing into the limo.
"Dad's idea…" as Kennedy climb's in and shuts the door, she feels lips on her neck, "Mmm damn baby…that…feels…good."
The assault on her neck continues with small whispers, "I wanted…to get my hands on you…since I…saw you at the alter" the singer states between her kisses.
The older woman's hand moves over the brunette's side and hooking around her waist to pull her closer.
Feeling herself being pulled, Miley moves closer and nips the nape of her wife's neck, getting a guttural moan as a reward; then she feels a gentle hand easing up her thigh.
The singer straddles her love's lap, giving Kennedy an all access pass; now if she chose to use it was another matter.
Smiling as she feels her wife spread her legs over her lap, the raven haired woman easily moves her fingers up and brushes them against the silk panties her wife was wearing.
The trip took about twenty minutes, and the couple soon found themselves making out right outside the double doors that lad to their reception.
Neither one wanted to let go of the other, but they also knew they needed to go in to eat and hopefully leave early.
The two doors opened, and applause rang out as they were announced and ushered to their seats; which had a steak waiting for Kennedy and chicken for Miley to eat.
The evening kept moving smoothly, until Kennedy rose and offered her hand to her wife, "May I have the first dance?"
"You may." The singer replies, taking the offered hand and they walk to the center of the dance floor that was now clear.
The song 'Thousand Years' by Christina Perri, came over the speakers as they began to slowly dance; once more getting lost in each other.
At the end of the song, they kiss sweetly before the DJ announces the Father/Daughter dance; smiling she hands Miley over to her father-in-law and walks off the dance floor.
Sitting back down and sipping her glass, Kennedy frowns slightly wishing her parents would have come; but knowing her mother was strictly against her lifestyle.
While lost in her thoughts, she felt a tap on her shoulder; looking up she looks into deep blue eyes of her father.
"DAD!" She jumps up and hugs him.
"May I dance with my daughter?" he asks with a teary smile.
Nodding Kennedy takes his hand and they move to the dance floor and begin to dance.
"I thought mom said you wouldn't be coming?"
"Mom wasn't coming, I booked a last minute flight and was too late for the wedding. But I wasn't going to miss dancing with my babygirl at her wedding." He pulls her closer, hugging her tightly as they dance.
She leans against him and sways, happy tears slipping down her cheeks. "Thank you so much dad."
As the song ends, she turns and puls her dad over to where Billy Ray and Miley were.
"Billy Ray, Miley…meet my dad Kevin. Dad my wife Miley and my other dad Billy Ray."
As she made introductions, she wraps her arm around Miley's waist.
"A pleasure to meet you Sir." Miley states shaking the man's hand, but finds herself pulled into a hug.
"I know I haven't been around but you can call me dad. I'm gonna try to be around more." Kevin smiles and then shakes Billy Ray's hand, "Great to meet you Billy Ray, have been a fan of yours for years."
Grinning Billy Ray shook hands back, "Well that's good to hear, come on I'll get ya a drink and we can catch up." Both men scurry off towards the open bar.
As the couple begins to dance again, being joined by others; Miley rests her head on Kennedy's shoulder as they sway.
"It's cool your dad came baby, I saw it made you extremely happy."
Nodding and kissing her wife's head Kennedy hugs her tighter, "Yeah, it made this day that much more special. I love you Miley"
"I love you too" Miley almost mumbles into her wife's shoulder.
The rest of the reception went on pretty quickly, minus Kennedy's dad's toast that lasted about twenty minutes (guess he was making up for lost time); but soon they found themselves back in limo headed to their condo before their flight the next day.
When they arrived at the condo, they were in their house and into their bedroom in record time; but stopped dead in their tracks at what they saw.
Soft music played over the integrated sound system in the home, red and black silk sheets were on the bed plus pillows; and candles were lit everywhere.
A ice bucket sat next to the bed with chilled champagne and two flute glasses with a note.
To Mrs. & Mrs. Cyrus-Souls,
We wanted you to have a special night, even if it is as home before your honeymoon.
We hope you enjoy and have safe travels til' you return to us.
~The Crew
They both chuckles at the nickname they had given their friends, but that quickly was forgotten.
Miley was holding the note when she felt warm hands gliding the zipper of her dress, down her back.
Then easily sliding the thin straps off her shoulder and down her arms; the dress quickly pools at her feet as she hears a soft gasp.
Smiling to herself she knew what the gasp was for, she was wearing a shear silk laced up white corset, with stockings held up by garters and the matching white silk panties that were already drenched.
Hands move over her body, exploring everything until Kennedy stood in front of her and she slid the sport coat off the older woman's shoulders.
The singer's own hands trailing over the silk red shirt her wife was wearing, slowly she begins to unbutton the rest of the way down; pulling the shirt out of the pants and down and off her arms.
Miley licks her lips as she sees the satin black bra Kennedy has been wearing, and then looks at herself.
Quickly she kneels and undoes the woman's belt and unbuttons her pants; then slowly drags the pants down her legs, giving Miley the pleasant shock of her wife wearing the matching underwear.
"Mmmmm, damn baby you look so delicious…" the brunette pauses a minute and then grins "Smell good too."
Chuckling Kennedy pull her wife up on her feet, wrapping arms around her and kissing her with passion.
The singer easily melts into the embrace as they fall back on the bed, most definitely ready to fully enjoy themselves as wife and wife.
