Chapter 15-A Date?
July 11, 2002
Alex had been thinking a lot about when her and Ty should get married since their party. She had always thought she wanted a long engagement. Always being the pessimistic one she didn't want to get married and have it fall apart in a year. Thinking about her situation with Ty, she saw little reason to wait. He had suggested he wanted to get married sooner than later, so why not?
"I've been thinking," Alex said as she and Ty sat on the couch.
"Oh no, not again."
"No seriously, I have been thinking about when we should get married."
"And?"
"I want to get married soon."
"I thought you wanted a long engagement?"
"So did I, but I'm sure of this. I'm allowed to change my mind."
"Are you sure this is what you want?"
"Yeah. Is it still what you want?"
"I've always felt we should get married sooner than later, but I am willing to wait. I just don't want you to feel like I pushed you into it and regret it later."
"You aren't pushing me, you have been very supportive of me wanting to wait. I'm not going to regret it as long as you are with me."
"If this is what you want then it's what we'll do."
"It is what I want."
"Can I ask why you changed your mind?"
"I don't know really. I have been thinking about it for a couple days. I just don't see any reason to wait."
"So how what dates are you thinking?"
"Maybe sometime in late August?"
"That's less than two months away, are you sure?"
"The wedding is only for family and the crew of the Third Watch, two months is plenty of time."
"I'm with you all the way."
"Good, now we need a date."
"Well you said August, what date did you have in mind?"
"You pick the date, I picked August."
"Ok, how about.the 21st?"
"August 21st it is."
Alex grabbed the list of guests that they had compiled. They had approximately 60 people of everyone they invited brought a date. As Alex jotted down some other details she had in mind Ty took a shower. It was almost time to leave for their shifts.
