Chapter 46
Mercedes and Colby could not stop kissing as they were taking wedding photos together. The newlyweds had shared some special moments with their wedding party and their immediate family. Now it was time for more pictures.
"Would you two knock it off," Cesaro joked.
Mercedes and Colby pulled apart and smiled at each other.
"Oh, leave them alone!" Ashley replied with a bright smile.
"What Ashley said," Mercedes said, kissing her now husband again. Everyone laughed.
A half hour later…
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the wedding reception of the newlyweds Colby and Mercedes Lopez," The DJ announced. "Are you ready to have some fun?"
The wedding guests clapped and cheered.
"All right, let's meet the wonderful men and women who made up the wedding party."
Everyone clapped.
"First off, give it up for one of three of Mercedes's BFF's from Boston, Emily Hess and her escort, Jonathan Good aka the Lunatic Fringe, Dean Ambrose."
Everyone clapped and cheered as Emily and Jonathan entered. The two walked over to the dancefloor.
"Next, give it up for Ashley Fliehr aka daughter of two time WWE Hall of Famer, Ric Flair, Charlotte Flair and her escort, Joe Anoa'i aka the Samoan Superman, Roman Reigns."
Cheers came for Ashley and Joe as they entered the room. They too walked over to the dancefloor.
"Give it up for Mercedes's second BFF from Boston, Vicky Bartol and her escort, Kevin Steen aka The Prizefighter, Kevin Owens."
Cheers came for them as they entered.
"Welcome Becky Devitt aka the Lass Kicker and Mrs. Finn Balor, Becky Lynch and her escort, Rami Sabei aka Sami Zayn."
Cheers came for them as well.
"The final Boston BFF, Angela Katz and her escort, the Swiss Superman, King of Swing, Cesaro!"
People cheered for them.
"And welcome the maid of honor, Pam Martinez aka the Hugger, Bayley and her escort best man and older brother of the groom, Brandon Lopez."
Pam and Brandon smiled entering the room and headed to the dance floor to join the rest of the wedding party.
"Now the moment we have all been waiting for," The DJ said. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, give it up for the newlyweds, Colby and Mercedes Lopez aka Seth and Sasha Rollins!"
The room erupted into monstrous applause, cheers, and screams for Colby and Mercedes as they entered the ballroom. The two smiled as they walked over to the dancefloor where their wedding party stood.
"Colby and Mercedes will now have their first dance as husband and wife," The DJ said. "And this is no slow dance!"
Colby and Mercedes smiled at each other. The beginning of We Found Love by Rihanna began to play and the newlyweds began to dance.
Yellow diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive
The happy couple danced, having loads of fun. All their family and friends cheered for them as they danced. Mercedes and Colby had actually been taking dance lessons for the last few months.
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Shine a light through an open door
Love and life I will divide
Turn away 'cause I need you more
Feel the heartbeat in my mind
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Yellow diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Once the song ended everyone clapped and cheered for them again.
"Give it up for the newlyweds everyone!" The DJ exclaimed.
Mercedes and Colby bowed to everyone. Colby then pulled Mercedes to him, kissing her passionately.
"SESHA!" Pam screamed.
Mercedes and Colby pulled away, smiling. They looked over toward the DJ. He smiled, walking toward them. He handed them each a microphone.
"All right, all right," Mercedes said. "Isn't my husband an awesome dancer?"
People clapped and cheered.
"And give it up for my wife the awesome dancer too!"
Everyone clapped and cheered again.
"I feel like we're at an event right now with people cheering for us," Colby commented.
"I do too!" Mercedes replied. "But hey, it was wrestling that brought us together!"
"Very true," Colby replied.
"Now with our first dance," Mercedes said. "We really didn't want to do a slow song. There will be plenty of slow songs throughout the night. So, we wanted to do something fun with it. And I pitched Rihanna's We Found Love to my love and he loved the suggestion."
"And there will be lots more fun of dancing tonight. But how about we all have some food and then enjoy more dancing shortly thereafter?"
Everyone clapped and cheered for that.
Mercedes and Colby handed the microphones back to the DJ. The DJ spoke into one. "All right, let's have the bride, groom, the bride's maids, groom's men, parents and grandparents have at that buffet first."
"Thank you," Mercedes said to the DJ.
"You're welcome," He replied.
Mercedes smiled looking at her husband. Colby smiled back at her. He moved toward her and kissed her lightly on the lips. "I love you," He said when he pulled away.
"I love you too," Mercedes replied.
"Now let's get some food."
"Yes. I'm starved."
Colby smiled. He took her hand and the two walked together.
Evelyn had been with Judith. But now she wanted to be with her parents.
"Oh, my beautiful girl," Mercedes said, picking Evelyn up. "Are you hungry, honey bunny? Do you want some food?" Mercedes walked over to the buffet. Colby next to her.
After getting food, Mercedes carrying Evelyn and Colby carrying two plates of food for him and Mercedes, walked to their own private table. Their wedding party sat among the other wedding guests. Mercedes placed Evelyn in the highchair at the table. She and Colby both ate and fed Evelyn off their plates. And all three enjoyed it.
Twenty minutes later, Pam with Ashley and Becky, Angela with Emily and Vicky, Jonathan with Joe, and Brandon by himself all gave their wedding toasts to the newlyweds. Everyone made their toasts sweet, happy, fun, and very humorous.
And after the toasts, the dancing began. Both Mercedes and Colby had as much fun as their wedding guests. The two not only danced with each other but family and friends. Colby danced with all the bride's maids while Mercedes danced with all the groom's men for some songs.
Mercedes had a lot of fun when she was dancing with many female superstars, current and former. She and some of them had made up some dances over the years. One of her favorite ones was dancing with Trinity Fatu (Naomi) to Bootylicious by Destiny's Child.
"All right, everyone, we're at the end of the night," The DJ announced. "However, the newlyweds will have one more dance before they say good-night."
Everyone moved off the dancefloor for Mercedes and Colby to dance by themselves. The beginning of Enrique Inglesias's Bailamos began to play
Tonight we dance,
I leave my life in your hands.
We take the floor,
Nothing is forbidden anymore.
Don't let the world in outside.
Don't let a moment go by.
Nothing can stop us tonight!
[Chorus]
?Bailamos! - We Dance
Let the rhythm take you over...
?Bailamos!
Te quiero amor mio - I want you, my love
?Bailamos!
Wanna live this night forever...
?Bailamos!
Te quiero amor mio...
?Te quiero! - I want you
Tonight I'm yours,
We can make it happen I'm so sure.
I won't let it go.
There is something I think you should know.
I won't be leaving your side,
We're gonna dance through the night.
I want to reach for the stars!
[Chorus]
?Bailamos!
Let the rhythm take you over...
?Bailamos!
Te quiero amor mio...
?Bailamos!
Wanna live this night forever...
?Bailamos!
Te quiero amor mio...
?Te quiero!
Whoa whoa
Tonight we dance,
Like no tomorrow.
Whoa, whoa
If you will stay with me,
Te quiero mi amor.
Quidate conmigo... - Stay with me
Esta noche...bailamos. - Tonight we dance
?Bailamos!
?Bailamos!
Let the rhythm take you over...
?Bailamos!
Te quiero amor mio...
?Bailamos!
Wanna live this night forever...
?Bailamos!
Te quiero amor mio...
?Te quiero!
?Como te quiero! - How I love you
?Ay, como te quiero!
?Como te quiero!
Everyone clapped and cheered after the song ended. Mercedes and Colby smiled brightly at each other. Mercedes quickly wrapped her arms around his neck as Colby quickly wrapped his around her back and they kissed passionately.
After that, the newlyweds said good night to everyone and went to their hotel room.
