"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Mason!" the D.J. said.
Everyone at the reception clapped and whistled as Paige and Spinner, newly married, walked down into hall.
Later on, after they had stood in the reception line for what seemed like hours, they held each other close as they danced the first dance.
"I love you," Spinner whispered.
"I love you too honey. I always will," Paige said. They kissed, and the dance was over. The dance floor began to fill up, and was swarmed with people, but Manny and Craig didn't even notice.
"Manny," Craig said.
"Mm?" Manny's head was lying against Craig's chest, and as they held to one another, Manny was convinced that she never wanted to let go.
"Manny lets go outside for a sec," Craig said.
Manny took his hand, and they walked out to a bench. Craig sat down and gently pulled Manny down with him. He kissed her softly and then took a deep breath.
He was scared. Although he was sure that se loved him, he wasn't so sure that she was ready to get married again. Her husband had died not very long ago. He silently said a short prayer in his head.
"Manny," he said. "I love you."
Dropping to one knee, he pulled out the small satin box holding the ring. He then opened it and held it up to Manny.
"Marry me?" he asked nervously.
Manny started to cry, and Craig nervously wondered if this was good or bad.
"Of course!" she said. Craig smiled and slid the ring onto her finger. She then stepped up and forward hugging him. He lost his balance and they both tumbled to the ground. Manny didn't care, and kissed Craig. Craig kissed her back, and they lay there kissing until Emma came up behind them.
"Manny? Craig!" she said. "What are you doing?"
She saw the ring on Manny's finger and screamed.
"Oh my gosh, finally," she laughed. She held out a hand and helped Manny up, and hugged her as Craig got up, brushing leaves and dirt off of his suit.
"Emma?" J.T. said confused. He then realized what was going on. "Well it took you long enough Craig. We had a bet going to see how long it would take you to realize you were meant for each other."
Emma hit him in the shoulder as Manny and Craig laughed.
After a while in the cold air, they decided to go back into the hall. Manny slid her ring upside down so it wouldn't look like a wedding ring. This was Paige and Spinner's night, and she didn't want to steal it from them. However, when Spinner went up to talk to Craig, he shook Manny's hand. His eyes grew wide, and he turned the ring over quickly.
"You guys are getting married? That is so great!" he yelled, loud enough for everyone to hear. Pretty soon everyone was swarming the couple, offering congratulations and wanting to see the ring.
After a while, everyone gathered outside, waiting for Paige and Spinner to emerge. They were leaving for the honeymoon, and everyone held rice, ready to throw it at the happy couple. Soon, they came out the doors and ran to the car. Craig held Manny around the waist and smiled. He couldn't believe how lucky he was.
Meanwhile, Manny watched as Spinner and Paige drove away. She couldn't wait. In a while, that would be her and Craig. She smiled and leaned against Craig. Everything was perfect. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
Right?
