Chapter 3: Our Day - 1980

A few months later came the day those four friends had been waiting for. After much organisation between themselves and their families, it was finally their wedding day. I've seen pictures and I can tell you it was the most beautiful of occasions and I only wish I could have seen it for real, despite the fact that it would have been highly inappropriate for me to be born and old enough to understand before my parents were married. Oh, listen to me rambling, sorry, now let's get on with this story...

"Are you nervous?" Jenny asked her best friend as she finished off her hair and helped her with her veil, her own already in place and looking perfect.

"A little" Joyce replied, "Mostly I'm just excited, how about you?"

"Oh yeah, definitely nervous and excited" Jenny nodded, "Who'd have thought one day we'd be having a double wedding?"

"It's crazy how things turn out" Joyce agreed, before realising Jenny was done with her hair and turning around on her chair to look at her friend, "We won't ever lose touch will we?" she asked with a slight frown.

"Of course not" the brunette assured her, "We're best friends for life, all four of us"

The two shared a smile, unaware of just how close their friendship would really remain.

"The girls'll get a bloody shock when they find out" Giles snickered to his best friend Hank as they tied their ties and checked their appearance in the full length mirror.

"Happy shocked though, right?" the more nervous of the two men checked.

"Of course, happy shocked" Giles rolled his eyes, "Living right next door to each other will be dream come true for those two, they love to be in each others pockets, you know that"

Hank nodded that he did know and smiled widely as he thought of how great his life would be. Today he was marrying the woman he loved most in the world as his best friend did the same thing. Then the four would move into two apartments, one across the hall from the other, so the friends never had to be too far away. It was perfect.

"Oh my God" both Joyce and Jenny exclaimed together as their surprise was revealed to them. Hank and Giles laughed at the girls' expressions as they saw the two front doors, both with ribbons and balloons tied to the handles.

"Well, I think they're definitely surprised?" Hank chuckled.

"You think so?" Giles replied, grabbing hold of his new wife, "You happy, sweetheart?"

"Oh yes" she smiled, kissing him, "it's wonderful"

"How about you, honey?" Hank asked his own bride and she smiled just a wide as anyone else.

"I love it" she told him, "and I love you"

Both couples stood kissing in the hallway, all decked out in their wedding attire, they would have been a sight to behold should anyone have walked by and seen them there.

"Well, shall we get inside then" Giles asked Jenny with a look in his eyes as they finally came up for air.

"First, I have a surprise for you too" she grinned, getting the attention of the other couple too, "Let's just say I feel a little hypocritical wearing virginal white for this wedding" she told them shyly and it was obvious to them all what she meant.

"You're not?" Giles gasped, wide-eyed.

"I am" Jenny giggled and nodded, "I'm pregnant"

There were hugs and kisses all around at the joyous news before both couples went to their respective apartments and thoroughly enjoyed their wedding nights. It was the start of their marriages and their new lives together, and they couldn't wait to see what happened next.

Well, what usually follows love and marriage? I know what you're thinking, the baby carriage, right? Well, you're not totally wrong, but remember this was 1981 and three years before me and my sister would come along...
