Chapter 34-Wedding (Aiden)
The next morning, Danny woke up to the sound of rain and the phone inside the bedroom ringing. He groaned before getting up to answer the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey dad!" a familiar voice said excitedly. Danny's face immediately lit up.
"Aiden? Is that you?"
"Yes dad. It's me." Aiden said.
"Wow, it's been a while. How are you and Court?" Danny asked as he leaned against the wall next to the phone.
"We're doing fine, dad. How about you?"
"I'm good. So, why did you call? Not that I don't like you calling." Danny said.
"I called because I talked to Lily the other day and together we planned to visit you for dinner." Aiden said. Danny smiled excitedly.
"Really? That's great, son. Are you and Lily going to bring your families?"
"Yes, dad. My kids couldn't wait to see their granddad." Aiden said making Danny smile.
"Oh dad, I got to go. See you later! Is the spare key still under the mat?"
"Yes, Aid. Why did you ask?"
"No reason. Anyway, bye dad!" Aiden said before hanging up. Danny smiled and shook his head before placing the phone back to its original place. After that, he got dressed, took the album and made his way downstairs for breakfast. He set the album on the table first before making himself some pancakes. As he sat down on the chair to eat the pancakes, his knee began to hurt a little. Danny sighed before taking a bite of his pancakes. He was already used to the constant pains on his knees.
Once he finished eating breakfast, he placed the dishes on the sink before taking the album and proceeding towards the living room. He sat on the couch before pulling the album on his lap and flipping to where he stopped last night. He looked at the picture one last time before proceeding to the next one.
The next picture was a picture of Aiden and Courtney on their wedding day. Aiden was wearing a black tux with a golden yellow tie. He had baby blue and yellow flowers pinned on the side. His hair was supposed to be styled but sadly, he inherited his father's hair so it was pretty much untamable. Courtney was wearing a white elegant wedding dress that reached down to the floor. Scattered on her hair which was curled for the occasion, were little yellow and blue flowers. They had both their arms wrapped around each other and were smiling broadly.
Caption: Well, as you can see… this is Aiden's wedding.
Flashback- - -
"Dad, I'm nervous." Aiden said as he wiped his sweaty palms on his pants. They were currently inside the men's dressing room getting ready for the wedding. Well… at least trying to.
"Dude, relax! Why are you so nervous anyway?" Jayden asked as he fixed Aiden's tie.
"What if she changes her mind? What if she leaves me? What if she—"
"Will you quit your blabbering and shut up for a minute?" Jayden said annoyed making Danny laugh. He was wearing a black tux with a baby blue tie. He had a yellow flower pinned to his chest pocket. He got up and walked to his son before putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, Aid. I'm a hundred and ten percent sure that Courtney loves you dearly. She won't change her mind." Danny said.
"Yeah, that's what I said to you on your wedding day, Danny." Tucker said as he butted into their conversation.
"You mean dad has also been as nervous as me?" Aiden asked. Danny and Tucker rolled their eyes.
"Very." Tucker said while smirking slightly. Soon, a knock was heard on the door.
"I'll get it. Don't mess yourself up again, Aid." Jay said seriously before opening the door to reveal Sam. Said woman was wearing a baby blue dress that reached all the way to her ankles and silver not so high heels. There was a yellow ribbon around her waist and a yellow shawl wrapped around her. She had a light yellow flower in her hair.
"Hey there, Aunt Sam!" Jay said.
"Hello Jay. So, are you guys ready?" Sam asked. All the guys nodded and made their way out of the room. Just as Aiden was about to go out, Sam stopped him.
"What's wrong mom?" he asked. Sam pointed to the ridiculously tied tie. Aiden shot Jayden a look who just smiled innocently and made his way out of the room. Sam began to re-do Aiden's tie herself with Danny beside her with his arm around her waist.
"Wow, I wish Court and I will be like you guys." Aiden said as he looked at his parents. Both of them shot him a confused look.
"Like us? What do you mean, sweetie?" Sam asked as she finished re-doing Aiden's tie and began to lean her head on Danny's shoulder.
"Like that," Aiden said as he gestured to his parents. "Still in love after all these years. I mean, you guys were sweethearts since high school! Since then, you two had been head-over-heels in love with each other. I wish Court and I would also be that way." Aiden said as he smiled softly at them. Sam smiled as she went over and hugged her son.
"I'm sure you and Court will be like us too. Don't worry about it, Aid." Sam said as Danny nodded.
"Are you guys coming or what? The wedding's going to start soon." Danny, Sam and Aiden turned to see Lily standing, tapping her foot impatiently. They all laughed before following Lily towards the aisle. Soon, the music starts to play and everyone starts marching down the aisle. After that, it was Courtney's turn. Everyone turned to see Courtney and Father walking down the aisle. Courtney's cheeks were pink with embarrassment with all the attention that was given to her. Soon, everyone erupted into giggles because Aiden was beginning to sink into the floor.
"Like father like son." Sam whispered to Danny while smirking. Danny just laughed and nodded in agreement. After what seemed like hours which was in fact only minutes, Courtney arrived to Aiden and looped her arm around his before facing the preacher.
(going to skip to the "I Do" part again.)
"do you, Aiden, take Courtney to be your lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"
"I do."
"do you, Courtney, take Aiden to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"
"I do."
"By the power infested in me by the church, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Aiden grinned widely before gathering Courtney into his arms and kissed her as everyone erupted in cheers and applauses. Soon, everyone was gathered for picture taking.
As everyone gathered around the bride and groom, the photographer counted 1-5 on his fingers before taking pictures. Once he was done, one of the guests lost her balance and fell causing everyone around her to fall as well.
End Flashback- - -
Danny smiled. after that "little" incident, everyone started laughing and dusting themselves. Some were grumbling on how careless some people were. Others were just laughing their heads off at the way some people landed in a very "awkward" position. After that, they all went to the reception.
Danny smiled before proceeding to the next page.
