Chapter 11: The Wedding
"Tomorrow is the wedding!" I exclaimed to Fred. I danced around the room and Fred is grinning into the newspaper.
It was a beautiful Saturday morning, and tomorrow is the biggest day of my life! I am finally getting married to Fred! Yippee!
After years of keeping our hidden feelings for each other, we have finally come into terms with it and he proposed to me just after a few weeks! I have waited for this day to come and I am still waiting for it...
"Say Fred, where are we going for our honeymoon?" I asked. I was also looking forward to the honeymoon. I was imagining about the things that we will do during the honeymoon... like the shopping, the sightseeing, and the... well, our "first time"
"It is a surprise!" Fred said in a mysterious tone. I wrinkled an eyebrow at him. What is he planning? But on the other hand, I liked it. I have always loved surprises. And I hope he is planning something big...
The doorbell rang. "I will get it!" I said, and went over to the door, and opened it. It is my parents! I screamed in delight and hugged them very tightly. "Steady on, Daph! I still want to attend your wedding!" my father, George Blake said. I grinned back at him.
"My! I can't imagine our little baby getting married tomorrow!" My mother said. "Elizabeth!" my father said. I saw Fred rolling his eyes. Yeah... maybe "little baby" sounds a bit too childish.
"Well, come in!" I said to the both of them. They smiled again and went inside. "Hi Fred! How is my future son-in-law doing?" My father said. "Oh! I'm doing great! I am due a raise soon and I hope to get a bigger apartment after the wedding. Your "little baby" is very safe with me." Fred joked. "Fred! Don't call me "little baby"!" I cried out, punching his shoulder. Everyone laughed.
At night, Velma called. "How is the bride-to-be? Nervous?" "Ok, I guess. I am so happy!" I exclaimed again for the countless times. "Well, it is your last day on Earth as a virgin now!" Velma joked. I giggled some more and asked, "How is it with Shaggy and you?"
"Well... I hope he could give me some clue that he had bought his ring, but I am quite satisfied with taking things slowly. I don't want things to go so fast, unlike you and Fred!" she said, and I could feel the smile on her face. Yeah, things are certainly happening very fast, but I am coping well with it.
"Well, you should get some sleep now. You don't want to have black rings around your eyes when you walk the aisle tomorrow!" Velma joked. "Okay, see you tomorrow, bright and early!" I said. "I will, Bye!" She said again, and hung up the phone.
As I woke up in bed, I had a very strange feeling. Like butterflies in my stomach. I am nervous, VERY nervous. Also, I realize that this is my last day that I will be known as "Miss Blake", but as "Mrs. Jones". Just the thought of that name makes me shiver with happiness.
Velma popped into the room. "Hey! Aren't you late! I have been here for a good half hour!" she said. "Well, I must at least wash up before you can do your job!" I said, and got out of the bed and into the bathroom.
After everything was done, I was on the way to the church. I was getting more and more nervous by the minute! What am I going to do? Will I fall while walking, or will I sneeze while saying my vows? Oh...
I got into the dressing room the moment we arrived. Velma and my mother came with me, getting everything done nicely.
A few moments later, I was putting on my wedding gown. It was a perfect fit. I feel different just wearing it. "You look so beautiful! I wish I was the one who is getting married now!" Velma said, examining the dress on all angles. "You will, to Shaggy." I assured her. She laughed and punched me on my shoulder.
The both of them worked on my hair next. It is strange... How many times have I said "Strange" today? But it really is strange, even the air seems so.
Soon, everything was in order. My hair, my gown, and my bouquet of flowers. I turned around in the mirror and saw my mother crying softly. "What is the matter?" I asked softly. "Nothing... it is just... just that my baby is getting married and will not belong to me anymore..." she cried into a handkerchief.
"Don't be silly! I am still your baby! Forever! It is just that I will take up a different surname, that's all." I said, and the sobs died sown a little. I guess this happens all the time. Mothers crying when their child gets married. I suppose I will also do that one day.
"Like, is everything ready? It is starting soon." Shaggy poked his head in and said. "All ready!" Velma called.
Oh... this is the first time I have felt so nervous! Then, I hear the organ music playing and I stepped onto the red carpet and holding my mother's arm. She is giving me away. I looked towards the end, and saw Fred.
Suddenly, all the things that have happened between us flashed in my mind. The first hug, the first kiss, the first date... They are such dear memories. And now, I am making the most memorable memory of all... the biggest day in our life.
Will I make a good wife to him? Will he take care of me forever? Will we always be so happy? I thought of all this as I walked on the carpet. But when I got to the end of the carpet, at the altar, I looked into his eyes and took his hand.
All my doubts are gone.
We said our vows next, and exchanged rings. And when the priest said, "You may kiss the bride now." Fred engaged me in such a breathtaking kiss, I felt myself floating away... it was so sweet...
The reception began soon after that, and we had a busy time receiving all the guests. Well... there is also the bouquet throwing...
"Are you all ready?" I called out to the unmarried ladies. They waited patiently. I threw the bouquet over my head, and guess who got it? Velma did. Later, I heard from Fred that Shaggy got the guarder. As he is the tallest, I guess it is not a problem for him...
"Thank you all the guests for coming! My wife and I shall go on our honeymoon now! Please continue with the reception and thank you once again for coming!" Fred suddenly announced to the crowd. What? We are going now? To where?
"To Paris." Fred said, and carried me off the ground. Whistles and whoops came from the ground as we got into the Mystery Machine and drove off.
A/N: Initially I announced that I was going to write a chapter on the "Intimate" bits, but now I have banished this thought as I don't really know how to write a chapter like that at all! So the next chapter will only touch on that a little bit, and on the places they go on their honeymoon. Sorry! :P
