Chapter 33:
It didn't seem like it was going to be easy to tell Miguel the truth today - not when
there were more important things going on tonight. This wedding was not going to happen
again; I couldn't put it on hold because of Miguel. I would tell Miguel the overdue truth later.
Charity had stopped me the first time - but never again.
Everyone, including the happy couples, sat in their seats and began eating and
drinking.
It was a perfect time to make a toast. I looked at Jessica, who practically read my
mind and nodded her head to me as if telling me to do it.
Standing up, champagne glass in hand, I asked if I could make a toast. Daddy, Noah
and Uncle Hank looked at me, nodding happily.
"I just want to say that this is the greatest day in the Bennett family life," I began,
tears forming in my eyes. "In my wildest dreams I couldn't imagine a better wedding, or
should I say weddings." I laughed, as did everyone else. "And I want to thank each of you
personally."
I turned to Daddy. "Daddy, your marriage to Ivy has given me a stepmother who has
been a true motherly figure to me the past five years."
Daddy and Ivy gave me their best smiles.
I turned to Uncle Hank. "Uncle Hank," I said. "Through your marriage to Liz, you
have given me a good friend who I can now refer to as my aunt."
They raised their own champagne glasses, smiles of joy crossing their faces.
And lastly, came my brother Noah. "What can I say, big brother?" I asked. "A few
years ago, I couldn't ask for more knowing that you were going out with one of my best
friends. And now... You're making my best friend FAMILY! I couldn't be happier knowing
that as of now Gwen is my sister in law!"
Clapping was heard all around as I smiled and wiped away the few tears that had
clouded my eyes. I looked at Gwen. It looked like an avalanche of tears had run down her
face. I saw her mouth a thank you to me.
Noah came over and gave me a hug, followed by Uncle Hank and Daddy.
After that, we all went back to eating, drinking, dancing and celebrating the night away.
A few hours later, it was time for the garter and bouquets to be thrown. The three
brides and grooms decided that they would each throw theirs but whoever caught it could not
participate in the other throwings.
Ivy was the first one to throw the bouquet.
Whitney, Jessica, Simone, me, and Paloma stood ready to catch the bouquet.
Whitney caught Ivy's bouquet. I noticed she eyed Chad, grinning from ear to ear. He
winked back at her.
The next throw was of Daddy's garter.
Reese, Jacob, Chad, Ricky, Gary and Steve stood there, waiting to catch it.
Chad caught it. Now HE eyed Whitney and walked over to her.
"It's fate, girl," he said as he enveloped her in a hug. {author's note: i know that i
hardly mentioned chadney before this but they r 1 of my fave couples on the show, i had to
include 'em. You understand}
Next up was Liz with her bouquet.
It landed in Paloma's hands.
Pilar looked very happy to see the bouquet in her youngest child's hands. Paloma was
the only one who was not married yet and Pilar only hoped that soon she would find her true
love.
Uncle Hank threw his garter, which was caught by none other than Reese.
And finally, Gwen and Noah's turns came up.
Gwen threw her bouquet and it was snatched up by ..... ME!
I laughed, giddy. I couldn't believe I caught Gwen's bouquet! I was a pretty
superstitious person, so did this mean that I was going to marry soon? Hopefully to Miguel! I
couldn't help but give Miguel a glance. He stared at me, one eyebrow raised.
Noah was the last to throw. He threw his garter, instantly turning around to see it fly
into the hands of Ricky.
The whole reception hall burst into laughter when they saw who caught the garter.
"Mommy," Ricky said, walking towards me. "Does this mean I am going to get
married soon?"
I laughed. "No honey," I said, giving him a hug.
