"Excuse me? Can I have everyone's attention please?" Faith said into the
microphone. "Thank you. Now as 'best man' I get to say a few words about
the happy couple."
Bosco's "Oh God," could be heard around the bar.
"I've known Maurice Boscorelli since the academy. I've seen him go through a lot of girls. We all have. But even before I knew it was Kim he was seeing, something told me that this time was different and then when he told me whom it was he was seeing, I knew this time would be different. But to be honest, I never expected to be here today giving a speech for this particular occasion. But I am so glad I am. I hope the two of you have a long and happy life together. Cheers!"
Glasses clinked around the room and then Bobby stood up.
"I promise to be short because I know everyone's hungry and the smell from the kitchen is nothing short of incredible," Bobby said with his killer grin directed at Rose Boscorelli. "When Kim first told me it was Bosco she was going out with, I was surprised to say the least but as I thought about the previous months I realized she'd been happier then I'd ever seen her. And shock of shocks, Maurice Boscorelli was responsible for that. I think we'd all agree that the two of you make each other happy and I wish the best for the both of you. Cheers."
"Before we serve the food, I think there's something that the bride and groom need to take care of," Rose said from the microphone. "Maurice, Kimberly, come on down."
Bosco and Kim got up and made their way to the band.
"Ma?" Bosco raised an eyebrow at his mother.
"Bobby set this up." Rose said before she looked at the band. "Hit it."
Kim laughed as the first notes of the song hit her. "I am going to hurt Bobby."
"C'mon Baby," Bosco took her hand and they went out onto the dance floor.
"I don't know how to dance to this."
"Just like we did the first time. Close. Very close." Bosco pulled her into his arms.
Kim smiled. "I promise not to throw you out again if you kiss me."
"It was our first date. You were supposed to throw me out."
"Truth be told, I thought that that was it. I thought you would never ask me out again."
"But I did."
"Yes, you did." Kim smiled and then she kissed him. "So you think we'll do like the song says and be 'Happy Together'?"
"Yes I do."
"Me too."

"Kim?" Jimmy finally got a minute with Kim later that night. Bosco was talking to his mother and Katherine had just taken Joey home.
"Hey." Kim smiled. "Where's Brooke?"
"She's getting her jacket."
"Oh, are you leaving?"
"Yeah. She's tired."
Kim nodded. "I'm glad you and she came today. It meant a lot to me and to Joey."
"What about Bosco?"
"I don't think he's really noticed many of the guests today. To tell you the truth, neither have I."
"Dazed, right?"
"Something like that." Kim smiled.
"You look beautiful today."
"Thanks Jimmy."
"Kim-"
"Hey, there you are." Brooke said, walking up. "Hi Kim."
"Hey Brooke. Heading out?"
"Yeah. I'm tired and I have to work the third watch tomorrow for someone since I traded shifts."
"Oh."
"Today was really beautiful." Brooke smiled.
"Thanks."
"Where's Bosco?"
"Talking to his mom," Kim looked over her shoulder.
"When are you two leaving?"
"As soon as the band does. We're driving to Atlantic City tonight. You have the numbers right?"
"Yeah and if we don't, your mom and Rose do."
"Right."
"We better go. Have fun."
"Thanks. We will." Kim smiled. "Night."
"Night." Brooke said.
"G'night Kim." Jimmy hugged her. "Be happy," he whispered.
"Always." Kim watched them leave and then smiled when she felt Bosco's arms slide around her. "Hi."
"Hi."
"Band ready to go yet?"
"Yeah, just about. You wanna change?"
"Maybe in a few." She looked around. "Where's Bobby?"
"In back, talking with Alex. What'd Jimmy say?"
"He told me to be happy."
"That's my plan."
Bosco's "Oh God," could be heard around the bar.
