Part 12.
As the car pulled back into the hotel, Faith noticed a sign hey hadn't seen
before. Bosco spotted it at the same time. They parked the car and got
out; they linked hands and followed the sign without saying a word to each
other. They were walking down a sandy track and the sign saying CHAPEL
directed them to the left. They walked for another five minutes under palm
trees and a blue, cloudless sky. Suddenly the beach was in front of them
and slightly to the right was an open air chapel, with pews and an altar
covered in tropical flowers. They looked at each other and ran towards it.
A man was sitting in a deckchair reading a newspaper. He looked up as
Faith and Bosco approached. "Can I help?" he asked.
"I, um, don't know" said Faith
"We're not sure" Bosco added.
"Ah" said the man "You want to get married" he laughed
"Yeah" said Bosco surprised
"How did you know?" said Faith.
"Well you obviously followed the sign from the hotel because this place is
impossible to just stumble across, plus you guys are in love, I can see
that"
"You can?" said Bosco looking at Faith.
"Sure, it's obvious to anyone. The way you look at each other, that
protective arm around her waist" he said gesturing at Bosco "and that look
in both your eyes"
Faith and Bosco laughed and Faith said "So if we did want to get married
could you help?"
"Sure, I'm minister Charles" the man said reaching out a hand which both
Faith and Bosco shook.
"Guys" called the minister loudly. From the sides of the chapel came over
twenty people dressed in red robes. "Your choir and your witnesses" said
the minister.
"Wow" said Bosco at the sight.
"You ready?" said the minister.
"Now?" said Faith.
"If you're ready"
Faith looked at Bosco and he replied "We're ready"

"I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride" said the minister. Bosco leant forward and lifted Faith up before kissing her hard on the mouth. The choir broke in song and people on the beach gathered round clapping and cheering. Bosco whispered in Faith's ear "I love you, wife" Faith looked in Bosco's eyes and said "I love you too, husband."
