Chapter 16

A few more months went by, and the day of the wedding was approaching nearer and nearer. It was the last Tuesday in November, and Ally and John were almost done with all the preparations. They had their bridesmaids and ushers, and their guest list. They were going to get married at the Doral Country Club in Miami, Florida. They had a quartet to play before the wedding, and a photographer. All they needed was a caterer, a limo service, and a place for people to stay. It was a Saturday afternoon, and John was out picking out his tux. Ally was on the phone with a caterer.
She spoke calmly. "No, sir, you don't seem to understand. I don't want an all-Cuban buffet. My fiancée's family is Italian, and my family is Cuban, so we have to mix the food up a little bit. Can you do that please?"
The man spoke in a heavy Spanish accent. "Si senorita. We'll make it half Italiano and half Cuban."
"Thank you Jose. How much is it going to cost?"
"About $200 tops. Is that okay?"
"Yes, that's fine. Thank you for your time."
"De nada. We'll contact you later, okay senorita?"
"Thank you. Have a nice day." She hung up with him. She now had a caterer. "Good. Another thing to cross off on this list." Her phone rang. She picked it up. "Hello?"
"Yo baby. Did you get the caterer?"
"Yes I did honey. The buffet is gonna be half Cuban and half Italian food. That's what we wanted right?"
"Yeah, that's what we decided on. If you want, I'll get the limo service and the hotel, aight baby?"
She gave a sigh of relief. "Thanks babe. I'll let you go book our stuff, okay?"
"Aight. Love ya boo."
"Love you too John. Bye."
She hung up her phone and sat on the couch. She sat there and thought, I'm so lucky to have John. He cares so much for me. I can't believe how lucky I am.

The next 3 months flew by so quickly, that Ally and John were only a month away from their wedding. They had everything ready, except for their wedding song. Ally and John were sitting around one day throwing out ideas.
"Ally, what about that song from the Mask of Zorro?"
"Which song?"
"You know, the theme song. The one they played during the credits?"
"Oh, the one by Marc Anthony and...what's her face...Tina Arena?"
"Yeah, that's the one."
"I think it's called 'I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You'."
"Yeah. That'd be the perfect wedding song, don't you think?"
She thought about if for a minute. "Yeah, you're right! It is perfect. Great thinkin there babes." She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you. I'm callin the D.J. right now." He got up, picked up his phone, and called the D.J. they hired for the wedding. John told him their wedding song, and the D.J. had it and said he was going to play it. John thanked him and hung up. "There, he's gonna play our song."
Ally smiled. "Perfect. Now what are we going to do for the rest of the night?"
John smiled cheekily. "I know what we could do."
Ally knew what he was thinking. "So do I."
He walked over to her and kissed her lips. She reacted, placing one hand on the back of his neck and the other one through his hair, causing the kiss to deepen. She put his arms around her and started rubbing her back while they made out. Ally led John to the bed where she laid down. He laid on top of her and began to make out with her again. She unbuttoned her shirt as they kissed. John stopped and took his shirt off, exposing his muscular body. She rubbed his chest and they began to make out again. They got uder the covers, and Ally shut off the lights.
