A/N: I KNOW THAT I AM SKIPPING SO MUCH TIME BUT SOMETIMES THAT'S HOW A GOOD STORY IS MADE.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The wedding is today. I can't believe May 21 is already here. The wedding colors are blue & silver. The bridesmaids dresses are a blue tanktop. The groomsmen, best man, and Bobby were all going to be in dress uniform. My dress was a strapless flowing gown with this gorgeously long train. The top part of it was embroidered with beadery that just made it more elegant. I had elbow length, silky white gloves. My shoes were like Cinderellas except they were clear. My hair was put up really nicely and my makeup was just right. I'm having my brothers both walk me down the aisle. They have done so much for me and this is a down payment.
"Melody, you're gorgeous."
"Ma, don't cry. If you cry, I'm gonna cry, and then we'll all be cryin'."
"I'm just so happy for you. My one and only daughter, my baby girl, is getting married. This is the day that every mother looks forward to."
"I've been waiting for it too."
We went and got in our spots. All of the bridesmaids had already walked out.
The doors opened and Mo, Mikey, and I started walking in. I swear that Bobby was about to bawl.
"We have gathered here today to unite two people in marriage, Melody Anne Boscorelli and Robert Ray Caffrey Jr. Melody, take the ring and place it on Robert's left hand. Repeat after me. I, Melody Anne Boscorelli,"
"I, Melody Anne Boscorelli."
"Take thee, Robert Ray Caffrey Jr. to be my lawfully wedded husband."
"Take thee, Robert Ray Caffrey Jr. to be my lawfully wedded husband."
"For better or worse, for richer or poorer, through sickness and health."
"For better or worse, for richer or poorer, through sickness and health."
"Until parted by death."
"Until parted by death."
"Robert place the ring on Melody's left hand and repeat after me. I, Robert Ray Caffrey Jr,"
"I, Robert Ray Caffrey Jr,"
"Take thee, Melody Anne Boscorelli to be my lawfully wedded wife."
"Take thee, Melody Anne Boscorelli to be my lawfully wedded wife."
"For better or worse, for richer or poorer, through sickness and health."
"For better or worse, for richer or poorer, through sickness and health."
"Until parted by death."
"Until parted by death."
"By the state of New York, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."
That kiss was like fireworks. The passion in it was unbelievable. Except this time, the passion was 100% love and care. We walked down the aisle. Since all of Bobby's groomsmen were in full uniform, they were standing in a row with their swords touching at the tips. We went through and got in the limo.
"I love ya Mel."
"I love ya too Bobby."
"Lets go party."
We got to the reception. We must've danced forever.
"Excuse me. May I have everyone's attention?"
It was time for the best man speech.
"Um, Hi. I'm Matt, Bobby's brother. I think it's great that he and Melody got married. They both deserve each other in every way. Bobby and Melody's personalities match up so well, that it's just unbelievable. Anyway, Best of luck Bobby and Mel. I wish you a very happy marriage."
"Thank you Matty."
"Yeah. Thanks Matt."
Mo got up to speak, which is weird because Maurice Louis Boscorelli hates speaking in front of crowds. Maurice has never once stepped foot on a stage or something of that sort.
"Hi. I'm Maurice, Melody's brother. It's great that they got married. Bobby and Melody totally deserve each other. I mean, Melody didn't have that great of a childhood and the fact that she found someone who can make that all just fade away, is great. Congrats Mel and Bobby. Good Luck."
"Thank you Big Mo."
"You're welcome Little girl."
We just smiled. That was always a little joke between us. I went up to the microphone.
"Hi. I want to thank all of ya for coming. This means so much to us. Most of you drove here from out of state and some of you just live in New York. Either way, We love you all and will be eternally grateful for you being here for this. Thanks."
My dad walked in. I may be 20, strong, and tired of my dads life, but he still scares the shit out of me. He walked up to me and got right in my face.
"You gonna pay ya little whore!"
"Go ahead ya son-of-a-bitch!"
He grabbed my throat and pushed me up against a wall. I couldn't breath and I thought that I was going to die. I was struggling with every last bit of energy and life.
He lifted me so that my feet were off of the ground but he was still choking me. He threw me across the room. My body landed with a loud thud and the sound of dad stomping to get over to me wasn't far behind. I tried to get up but dad held me down. Bobby went up behind him and cracked him over the head with a bottle of wine. Let's just say that dad would be unconsious for at least 1 hour(s). I stood up.
"Ya okay Mel?"
Bobby had his hands on my arms but I was facing the ground.
