Tobey stood at the altar, looking ready, but feeling guilty. How could he cheat on his fiance….with her sister, no less. Although, he had to admit, Susie looked gorgeous in the light blue dress. She looked so adult like, and almost more beautiful than Katey. Then he wanted to smack himself. Katey was his bride-to-be, and he loved her. How could he think these thoughts about her?
Katey waited patiently, as the bridesmaids walked down the aisle. She felt guilty. How could she cheat on Tobey….on her wedding day no less. She loved him, and she never meant to cheat on him. She was taken up in the heat of the moment with Javier. Maybe she was wrong, and there was still something there. But it was too late. In a few seconds, her father would walk her down the aisle and give her away.
Susie was walking down the aisle, with the largest grin on her face. Everyone assumed she was happy for Katey, and just felt beautiful. She was ginning from the satisfaction of kissing Tobey. She knew her plan had worked, because she saw Javier looked a little happy himself. She had to have this plan work, or her life, and Katey's marriage, would be ruined.
'Here comes the Bride' began to play, and Bert walked over to Katey. He took her arm, and the walked slowly toward Tobey.
"Katherine, you have never looked so beautiful. I love you," said Bert in a soft voice.
"I love you too, Daddy," she said.
They reached the altar, and the music stopped. Everything so far was as Katey had wanted. She looked amazing, as did her bridesmaids. The bouquets were fragrant, and lovely. The music was perfect. But something felt wrong. Something inside her told her Javier should be the groom….not Tobey, She shook off that feeling as her father presented her to Tobey, and took his seat.
She smiled at Tobey, and he looked at her with a loving glance. The priest smiled at both of them before beginning.
"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today to join Miss Katherine Miller and Mr. Tobey Reynolds in holy matrimony." the priest began.
"If anyone should have an objection to why these two should not be joined, let them speak now or forever hold their peace," he continued.
Susie looked at Javier…who stared back at her. After a moment had passed, the priest took a breath, and began to talk again, but not for long. Javier jumped up.
"I OBJECT!" he yelled.
"Katey, I love you. You cannot throw your life away like this. You and I are meant to be together. I know I lost my chance, but don't give up on us yet! PLEASE KATEY!" he begged.
Katey wanted to cry. She looked at Tobey, who looked confused. But Javier wasn't the only one to object. Susie had something to say.
"I OBJECT TOO!" she said.
"Tobey, I love you. I have loved you since I first laid eyes on you. I should be the one you marry today!" she said.
Bert stood up,
"Excuse me everyone, this is going to take a moment. Susie, Katey, Tobey and Javier, go to the bridal room now, and sort this out!" he yelled
They all went. They ran to the room, as the church broke out in confused conversation. Katey slammed the door.
"This….is my wedding day. And now I have an old love, and my little sister, who both don't want this to happen. Explain!" she said in an angry tone.
"Katey, I was an IDIOT! But you and I belong together. Tell me you didn't feel it in out kiss. I should be the groom…not him." Javier said
"Tobey, you have to know something. You kissed me, and admit it! You loved it. There was something there, and we both loved it. Katey, you're my sister, and I wouldn't have done any of this if I didn't truly believe that you and Javier were meant to be." Susie pleaded.
Katey and Tobey looked at one another. They both had the same look.
"Tobey…maybe they are right. I love Javier, and Susie loves you. If you feel the same for Susie, then wonderful, but don't toy with her heart." Katey said.
"Katey, I love you, but as a friend. Marry Javier. Susie, I love you. From the moment I saw you, I knew it, but couldn't admit it to myself. Marry me Susie Miller!" Tobey said.
Tobey and Susie kissed.
"Javier…you are right. You should be the groom. This is your chance. Either take me as your bride now, or leave." Katey stated.
Javier stood there for a moment, and then kissed Katey.
"Anyone up for a double wedding?" Katey asked with a giggle.
They all laughed, and went back to the church. Everyone was pleased with the match.
Javier didn't have a ring. Javier gave Katey the ring his mother gave him. It was her wedding ring, and it was a family heirloom.
Tobey used his mother's ring to suffice for the moment, and promised Susie her own once they had a chance to buy one.
