CHAPTER 4:
At about 2pm on November 26th, Jesse, Chicago, Bumper, Benji, and Chad met at Jesse's apartment to discuss wedding plans.
"Gentleman, thank you guys for coming." Jesse said.
"As you know, the big day is just four days away." Chicago said.
"Have you heard from some of the other Trebles as to when they'll be flying in?" Bumper asked.
"According to what I'm told, Donald and Unicycle will be flying in later today. After this meeting is over, I'm heading to JFK to pick them up." Jesse explained.
"And my old military buddies that I chose to be four of my groomsmen fly in tomorrow." Chicago added.
"Okay, so me, Bumper, Donald, and Unicycle makes four. Who's your fifth groomsmen, Jesse?" Benji asked.
"I came along with Beca to the last Bella get together and I asked around to see if one of the other husbands were interested, and Kyle offered." Jesse explained.
"Then it's settled." Benji said.
"But just out of curiosity, who's going to be the best man?" Chad asked.
"My cousin Bobby's going to be in town for the wedding, so I asked him if he'd be willing to do it." Jesse explained.
"In that case...gentleman, here's what's expected to be a successful double wedding." Chicago said as the others toasted.
Two hours later, the Bellas gathered together at Stacie's house for another Bella get together.
"Alright, Bellas. Glad you all made it today. Now, Stacie and I were talking and we thought it'd be best to have our get together here instead of my place while Stacie is still recovering from her fracture." Aubrey said.
"Anyway, today Chloe and I are going to be deciding our bridesmaids." Beca said.
"We've put all of your names in this bowl and if we draw your name, you will be one of our bridesmaids." Chloe said.
"Now I know what you're all thinking: 'But there's 11 of us. Does this mean one of you will have six bridesmaids?' No; five of you will be my bridesmaids and five of you will be Chloe's bridesmaids." Beca explained.
"Whoever's the last one remaining will be our maid of honor." Chloe added.
"Alright, I'll go first." Beca said as she shook the bowl before drawing her first name. "And my first bridesmaid is...Esther."
"What? I got picked first?" Esther asked, surprised.
"Yeah." Beca confirmed.
"Wow, I got to say, I really thought I was going to be picked last, but thank you." Esther said.
"Okay, my turn." Chloe said as she shook the bowl before drawing her first name. "And my first bridesmaid is...Alice."
"Thank you, Chloe. I'm sure the dresses will be lovely." Alice said.
"I don't doubt it. Especially since after we're all done with choosing our bridesmaids, we're going to decide on what color our dresses will be." Chloe said.
As the drawing continued, Beca chose Flo, Stacie, Jessica, and CR for her remaining bridesmaids. While Chloe chose Aubrey, Amy, Ashley, and Denise for her remaining bridesmaids. And Emily was the last one remaining.
"So, Emily, that means you will be our maid of honor." Beca said.
"Sounds good to me. And I can already say that this will surely be a wedding to remember." Emily said.
"I don't doubt it." Chloe agreed.
At about 8pm that night, Beca and Chloe were waiting at JFK for their parents to land.
"Looking forward to seeing your parents again?" Beca asked.
"Yeah. You looking forward to seeing your dad again?" Chloe asked.
"You betcha! It means a lot to me that he was able to get a flight out of Atlanta tonight." Beca said.
Just then, Chloe saw her parents, Tom and Susan Beale coming down an escalator.
"Chloe!" Tom yelled, excitedly.
"Mom! Dad!" Chloe yelled, excitedly as she went over to hug her parents.
"We've missed you so much." Susan said.
"You too." Chloe said before the three broke away from their hug.
"It feels so great to spend Thanksgiving with you and Beca." Tom said.
"Agreed." Susan said.
"It'll be great. We're just waiting for Beca's dad to fly in." Chloe said.
"Yeah, he should be landing any minute now." Beca added.
"Well, we should probably check into our hotel." Tom said.
"Chloe, you coming with us?" Susan asked.
"Beca, is it okay if I..." Chloe asked.
"Go; They're your parents. You should be with them as long as they're here. I'll wait here for my dad." Beca said.
"Alright. I'll see you later." Chloe said as she and her parents got into the next available cab and rode off.
One hour later, Beca noticed her dad coming down an escalator.
"Dad!" Beca yelled going to hug her dad.
"Beca!" Dr. Mitchell said accepting the hug.
"It's so great you managed to catch a flight tonight." Beca said.
"It wasn't easy. I had to go right from Barden to the airport after my last class let out." Dr. Mitchell explained.
"Well, I'm glad you did. It'd be much better than going through congested airport traffic tomorrow." Beca said.
"Agreed. Well, shall we head over to your place?" Dr. Mitchell asked.
"Sure. My car is waiting in the parking garage." Beca said.
"Well, let's go then." Dr. Mitchell said as the two headed for Beca's car.
