Catherine and Gil walked hand in hand through the lobby toward the reception hall when they reached the reception hall Gil reached into his pocket and pulled out a small whit envelope.

"What's that?" Catherine made a face at the small, dog-eared envelope. Gil smiled, "My wedding gift to Warrick, I figured since I am not a shopping kind of guy that I would just give them money, it 's a good gift and they can buy what they want." Gil paused "Why what did you get them?" Catherine gave him a smile " Well I am giving them money too, but you can't give it to them like that you need a card or something a little less tattered?" Catherine turned and pointed to a series of in hotel gift shops. " There take my money and yours and go get a card then we can put ours together.. You know like a couple would do." she smiled and winked at him. "Like a couple" Gil repeated her comment " I like the sounds of that" he smiled again and gave her a kiss, turning he ran toward a gift shop.

As he returned with card in hand Catherine greeted him at the reception hall doors. "What took so long, did you read every card?" Gil pulled out the card and placed heir money inside. " Okay" he said smiling at her " I just want you to know that I love you and I want us to have a really good time tonight." Catherine smiled at his kindness " Gil are you okay?" she asked when she saw his expression change.

"Yeah" he cleared his throat snapping back to reality " I just remembered seeing something in the shop back there and I really think I need to buy it that's all. I am going to check it out, I will meet you inside"

Catherine frowned at his sudden change and walked into the reception hall with a confused look.

Warrick and his wife Rachel greeted Catherine with a smile and a hug. " Catherine you look great, and where is Gil?" Warrick paused " Are you two fighting again?" he smiled and laughed.

"No" Catherine smiled and thought back in her mind about what an amazing time she just had with him. " No .. No more fighting, quite the opposite actually" she winked at Warrick and placed her envelope in the Hawaiian decorated birdcage and walked inside.

Walking in she immediately spotted Greg and his girlfriend Emily, and Nick and Sara at there table and took her place waiting for Gil.

"Hey Cath" Sara called running off the dance floor with Nick "Where have you been you said you were going to meet us at 5:30 you missed cocktails and dinner is coming out any time. So where were you?"

Before Catherine could answer Warrick and Rachel came in the room and everyone applauded as they gave a small speech.

After dinner was brought out, Catherine started to worry and wonder what was taking Gil so long when he finally arrived. "Gil?" she smiled when he sat down " are you sure you are alright, where were you, I was about to send a search party, I though you were going miss dinner and speeches."

Gil just laughed, " Cath you worry to much, I was just" he paused as he took a bite of his chicken " well you will see soon enough." Catherine started to worry again when he started acting weird. " Gil do you regret what happened between us" she whispered. Gil nearly chocked and had to sip his wine " What are you talking about? Why would I regret anything that involves you."? He looked her in the eye " I don't regret anything, there was something I realized I need to do, don't worry I will tell you later, right now it is Warrick's moment." He motioned in Warrick's direction when everyone started to cling their forks on the wine glasses waiting for the expected kiss between the bride and the groom.

After dinner Nick and Sara ran off to the dance floor once again while Gil and Catherine sat together talking about Lindsey and her latest Barbie fashion fad, when Gil asked her to dance.

"But Gil you don't dance. Do you?" Catherine questioned him knowing very well she had never seen him dance before. "Well" Gil smiled as he stood up taking her hand "I figure if I plan on being in a very long term relationship I should forget my fear of dancing and focus on who I will get to suspend the time dancing with!" Gil turned and ran to the dj both and had a short conversation with the man they called "DJ Shimmy" and ran back to Catherine

Catherine smiled and took his hand, as he led her to the dance floor the song "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton began to play.

It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"

Taking a place on the dance floor, Catherine smiled. " Gil.. Can I ask you something?" Gil smiled back and nodded " Sore, anything" he said as he put his arm around her.

And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

We go to a party and everyone turns to see
this beautiful lady that's walking around with me.

And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

"What's going to happen now.. Between us I mean?" Gil chuckled softly to himself "What do you want to happen?"



And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

"Everything" Cath smiled as she put her head on his shoulder " I don't want what happened to ruin our friendship, but I don't want it to be a one time thing."

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.

"Look at me." he whispered softly "I don't want what happened to be a one time thing either, I love you and I always will, so I guess we are going to try right." Gil smiled and kissed her.

It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
so I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

"I love you too" Catherine shared in the kiss and then pulled away " Everyone is watching us Gil" she whispered as the song ended, Catherine grabbed Gil's hand and turned to walk back to the table.

"Wait." Gil said and ran to the front of the room. "Can I have your attention please"?
