During that week, the gang had their classes at uni and college, but in between they spoke to each other a lot but their time was taken up by homework.
And when they weren't having classes, doing homework and talking to their friends, they would be discussing their wedding.
Ulrich and Yumi had discussed it with their parents (Mr Ishiyama keeping deadly eyes on Ulrich the whole time) and had agreed that it would be better to wait after uni and when they had got a more comfortable place to live in instead of a little one bed roomed flat so they would be married in less than 2 years which, to them, felt right.
Odd and Sam had agreed to get married in two months as their dj course was coming to an end soon so they were busy preparing their wedding and that was what the gang would be doing this weekend together: help organise the wedding.
Jeremie and Aelita still had another two years at uni so decided that they would have think about marriage plans after the graduation when they would be free of homework.
The gang had been pretty surprised by Odd's choice in having the wedding in two months. They just couldn't believe how much Odd was rushing into this whole new life. Surely he knew what a life-changer marriage was, didn't he?
WITH SAM AND ODD
"Tonight should be so fun!" Sam said taking a bite of toast while Odd was doing himself a bacon sandwich
"Yeah it should be, what are we doing anyway? Just sorting out guests and colours and all that?"
"Yeah and maid of honours and best man, Odd" Sam said looking a little stressed
"Oh god" Odd said thinking about what he was going to have to do-make a choice between his two male best friends
"I know it's hard for me as well picking between Yumi and Aelita" Sam said
Odd groaned and went deep in thought.
WITH YUMI AND ULRICH
"Who are you going to have for your best man?" Yumi said thinking of the difficult choice he and she would have
"Oh shit! Didn't even think about that" Ulrich said suddenly looking more down than he had since he had been arrested.
"Who are you having as your maid of honour?" Ulrich said thinking of a way round it
"I was thinking 'coz I've known Aelita a lot longer than Sam that I should have her as my maid of honour and Sam a chief bridesmaid, then I've got your 2 cousins Amanda and Sally who we saw 2 months ago as bridesmaids and then my 3 year old cousin Hope as flower girl and then your 5th cousin, Bradley as page boy. Who's your best man gonna be?" Yumi said breathing after all of that.
"Ok well since you've got Aelita as maid of honour do you think I should have Jeremie as best man?"
"It's up to you Ulrich"
"It's fair that way, isn't it?"
"I dunno Ulrich"
"I hate having to make choices like these"
"Me too" Yumi said giving him a sympathetic smile
WIH JEREMIE AND AELITA
"I wonder who's going to be maid of honour and best man at Odd's wedding" Aelita said working on her laptop
"It will be interesting to see? Wont it? I personally think that Sam will have Yumi as maid of honour 'coz she seems more attached to Yumi than you, doesn't she? And Odd will have Ulrich as they were much closer than me and Odd"
"Yeah I suppose that would make sense" Aelita said still working on her laptop
LATER THAT EVENING
The gang had met up Odd's place to help out with the preparation for the wedding.
"Ok so that's the colour scheme purple and orange that should be interesting!" Sam said helping herself to Odd's popcorn
"Yeah, it should be"
"I've already made the guest list we've just get the invites out once we know the date which we will find out on Sunday" Sam said looking at Odd who knew it was make-up-your-mind time.
"Now we've thought hard about this and well it has been difficult for me to decide on maid of honour as both Yumi and Aelita are close to me. And you know what made me decide?" Sam said laughing already.
The others shook their heads.
"The colour scheme!" Sam said laughing again "The bridesmaids dresses are going to lilac and the maid of honour's dress is midnight purple so Yumi your it!" Sam said looking at Aelita who was smiling
"Sorry..."
"No don't be dark colours don't tend to suit me and plus I don't mind you're closer to Yumi then you are me" Aelita said hugging Sam in proof that she was being genuine.
"Thanks Sam!" Yumi said hugging Sam and smiling
"Now we know who the maid of honour is I'm going to say my decision on best man and believe me it's been hard. Real hard. And I haven't got reasoning as to why I've picked him probably on hearing who the maid of honour is but well my best man is Ulrich" Odd said turning to Jeremie who nodded his head
"I understand, believe me I do" Jeremie said smiling a genuine smile
"You mind, buddy?" Odd said to Ulrich
"Not a bit Odd" Ulrich laughed
They left Odd's place at 11:40pm.
Two people seemed to feel guilty, after all Yumi had said that she was going to pick Aelita for maid of honour and now Sam had picked her to be maid of honour at her wedding. Ulrich had thought Jeremie to be best man so to match Aelita but now Odd had picked him to be best man at his wedding.
They felt confused and didn't really know what to do but whatever the case was to be, they didn't have to think about it for a while.
