Chapter 57: Let's Boogie!
MC Ballroom B:
Carly had decorated the adjoining ballroom for the reception in the same colors and flowers. She went all out planning her little cousin's wedding. There was a DJ setting up in the corner. A seven piece string orchestra was also setting up in another corner, it seemed that Carly couldn't make up her mind and hired both of them.
Laura was sitting at table with both of her sons and her grandchildren who were all hugging her.
Luke plucked a glass of champagne from a passing waiter dressed in a black tux and the wedding colors and quickly downed in. "Keep them coming," he said. "I'll make it worth your while." He placed a hundred dollar bill in the waiter's pocket.
"Yes, sir!" the waiter said.
"Don't you want to be somewhat sober for the father/daughter dance?" Tracy asked him. "Whatever he pays you, I'll double it for keeping him away from the booze until the dance is over."
"SPANKY!" Luke complained as the waiter nodded at Tracy.
"I walked her down the aisle, isn't that enough?" Luke shot back. "Now it's time to see what Carly stocked the bar with using Sonny's money."
"It will mean a lot to Lulu," Tracy pointed out.
Luke sighed. Tracy knew his weakness: his Cupcake. "One dance that's it then I'm hitting the open bar."
Lulu and Johnny entered the ballroom holding hands and the room erupted in cheers and applauses. "For the first time Mr. and Mrs. John Zarracha!" the DJ said into the microphone.
Lulu beamed as she waved and made her way to her father. "Dad."
"Gumdrop." Luke embraced her. "You are glowing." He turned to Johnny. "You better make her happy. If not, I'm sure somebody on either Sonny's or Nikolas' payroll will make you disappear."
"Dad!" Lulu scolded. "Please be nice, it's my wedding."
"No, he's right, Lu. You have my word sir." Johnny held out his hand. "I truly love your daughter. I will never…"
"Never is such a long time, Mr. Zarracha. I wouldn't make a promise that you can't commit to," Luke stated.
Tracy cleared her throat. "I think it's time for the father/daughter dance, the DJ is trying to get your attention that or he's landing planes."
Luke held out his arm. "Allow me to lead the bride to the dance floor."
Johnny watched as his wife and his father in law moved to the dance floor and the DJ played John Mayer's 'Daughters'.
"You know he's right," Tracy said. "You better not hurt Lulu again because I can always sic Alice to you."
Tracy nodded to the left. Alice was engaged in an arm wrestling match on the bar with some of the male guests and quickly made minced meat out of them. She sensed Tracy looking at her, she showed her massive muscle that made Jason look like a child then she smiled and waved.
Johnny gulped. He knew that Alice will have no trouble disposing of him. "Mrs. Spencer, you have nothing to worry about. I'm going to spend the rest of my life making it up to Lulu and our children."
"That is actually something that I believe." She held out her hand. "Would you give our new step-mother-in-law a spin around the dance floor?"
Johnny took her hand. "Are you sure Laura won't mind?"
"She has her hands full with her three grandsons." Tracy dragged Johnny to the dance floor.
Lulu grinned at him as Johnny danced with her stepmother. Despite himself, Luke looked like he was having a good time dancing with his Cupcake. Johnny could have sworn that he saw tears in Luke's eyes.
Luke and Lucky danced their way to Johnny and Tracy. Luke placed his hand on Johnny shoulder. "I would like to dance with my wife as I believe that you want to dance with yours."
Johnny wrapped his arms around Lulu. "Happy?" he asked her as they shared their first dance as a married couple.
"I'm married to you. I'm very happy."
A waiter handed Johnny a glass of champagne and Lulu a glass of orange juice. Nikolas was at the microphone ready to make his speech.
"Normally the best man gets to make the speech but since I am the bride's big brother so I out rank him, sorry Matt. But seriously, like the most of you in this town, I watched Lulu grow from this tiny baby into this beautiful woman, and pretty soon she is going to be a mom. Lu, you are my little sister and I love you. I wish you and John all the best!"
Matt took the microphone from Lulu's brother. "Okay I want you all to admit how many of you were surprised that I was the best man? Come on don't be afraid, I'm even raising my hand here!"
The entire room including Lulu raised their hands causing the room to erupt into laughter.
"Glad that I wasn't the only one that thought so," Matt stated. "But seriously, I would change the last few months at all. Lulu needed a doctor that she could trust with her life and I'm glad that it was me! I'm happy that you two found your way back to each other and going to start a family. I just hope someday I find someone and have half of what you have." He picked up his glass. "To the bride and groom!"
"To the bride and groom!" The room echoed, as they clink their glasses, all except the bride and groom themselves as Johnny pulled his wife into a kiss.
Someone behind them cleared his throat. "My I have a dance with the bride, considering I paid for all of this?"
Lulu smiled at Sonny as they danced to the next song the DJ played. "Of course you can, Sonny. I owe you…"
Sonny shook his head. "No you owe me nothing. After all you been through the past few months this is the least I could have done for you, not that I'm taking credit for it. This was all Carly's doing and I just signed the check."
"Well, that you for that," Lulu said.
Johnny tapped Sonny on his shoulder. "I need to dance with my wife again because the rate this is going, I'm not going to for the rest of the night."
"We have the rest of our lives," Lulu whispered. Johnny wrapped his arms around her tighter. "And I am never going to let you go…
