I Need You Tonight
Chapter 50
The Wedding..finally
--two weeks later--
The rehearsal
"Can you believe, tomorrow you and I are going to be married?"
"Nope, Ran. I can't believe it." Natalie exclaimed walking on the beach beside her soon to be husband.
The wedding was planned for a nice small beach in Natalie's hometown in Pennsylvania. Most of Randy and Natalie's close friends and family were there to witness the vows tomorrow. The both of them had opted to write original vows instead of traditional ones.
The wedding party and the bride/groom practiced the wedding and then headed off to an old barbeque held at Natalie's parents house. The two, after the party, were soon separated. The boys went to their hotel, while the girls stayed at a resort for the night.
--wedding day--
"Wow, today is finally the day." Natalie exclaimed as her, her mother, Nikki, her sister, Becky and Randy's mother Elaine, Penny and Missy got their hair fixed.
"Finally, is right." Nikki bellowed.
"Natalie, I want to thank you, personally, for making Randy as happy as he is. I've really never ever seen Randy this happy." Elaine replied.
"Your welcome. I plan on making Randy very happy his whole life." Natalie smiled at her soon to be mother in law.
The sevenof them soon finished with their hair and went back to the resort, near where the wedding was taking place.
Soon, it was an hour before the wedding and everyone was dressed except Natalie until she walked out of her dressing room in a strapless beaded ivory wedding dress that had a small train on that was tailored to her body.
"Natalie, you look beautiful." Nikki said crying.
"You really do look good." Natalie's mother replied.
"Thanks guys, what time is it?"
"Time to get married!" Missy exclaimed.
Randy had been standing under the flowered gazebo when they started entering. First it was Penny, then Missy, followed by his sister, and then her sister and then finally, Nikki and Allie as the flower girl.
Soon, everyone stood as the bride walked out on her father's hand. Randy who was already getting teary-eyed could not believe the woman he was finally marrying. It seemed weird to him that the every person today used the word finally. I mean, yeah the word was used in his speech but then he knew why it was used. It had been five years of sneaking around, a miscarriage and just falling in love for them, and they finally made it to the altar. By this time, Natalie was standing in front of him. He mouthed the words 'I love you' to her and she did the same, as the preacher started.
"Dearly Beloved we are gathered here today to witness the marriage of these two people, Natalie and Randy. The two have decided upon writing their own vows, so Natalie."
"Ahh, where to start. Randy, from the first time I seen your face, I knew there was something about you. Now, five years later, there's still something about you. I love every part of you, and I love who you've made me become. I really have no idea what I would do without you in my life. I know everyone's saying it but, really finally is the word to use. Finally we don't have to sneak around, finally we don't have to act like we don't want to get married, finally we are going to be married, and I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Randy." The preacher replied.
"Well, I got to follow that up. What can I say about five years of sneaking around and falling in love? A whole hell of a lot. But, I'm going to keep this short. Here I'm standing where I thought we'd never be, and I mean that truthfully. I never thought we'd never be here, I thought we'd be sneaking around for the rest of our lives. But, I am the happiest person on the planet right now, standing here ready for you and I to finally be married. I love you more than life itself, there's absolutely nothing I wouldn't do for you. You mean the world to me, and you complete me and I love you for that."
By this time, everyone was teary-eyed from both emotional speeches, as the preacher went on.
The two then presented rings to each other, and then the preacher announced.
"If anyone in here, subjects to this marriage, speak now or forever hold their peace."
No one subjected, so the preacher then started again.
"Well, by the power invested by me, by God and the state of Pennsylvania, I pronounce you husband and wife. Well, Randy you may kiss your bride." The preacher said as Randy kissed Natalie with a little tongue involved.
"Let me have the pleasure of announcing to you for the first time ever, Mr. And Mrs. Randy Orton." Everyone cheered and clapped.
--At the reception--
Natalie and Randy took pictures and soon headed off in a stretch Hummer to the reception area at the resort in the ballroom.
"I can't believe we're married, Mrs. Orton." Randy said kissing his wife.
"Me neither, Mr. Orton. I always wanted to do that like in the movies."
"We're just corny people."
"Awwe, but I still love ya Orton." Natalie said kissing her husband.
"I cannot wait for Maui."
"Me neither. We're here!"
"Time to party!"
The DJ announced the wedding party and then..
"Announcing for the first time in public, Mr. And Mrs. Randy and Natalie Orton." (A/N: I don't know about you, but I like the sound of that..haha)
The couple soon ate the filet mignon they had picked out and cut their five tier wedding cake and soon were ready for their first dance.
"Alright everyone, let's have the newlyweds come out for their first dance. First off, the groom has a special message; the DJ then handed the mic over to Randy.
"Well first off, Nat and I would like to thank all of you for making this special day even more special for us. Well, I figured that our first song would be unique, so I'm having Natalie's favorite singer sing it for us live." Randy said as the curtains opened revealing Kenny Chesney.
"oh my god! Randy, how'd you do this?" Natalie said unbelievably surprised.
"Well, I just called up his management company and booked it. Like I said, I'd do anything for you." Randy said taking her around the waist as Kenny started playing the first couple chords of their wedding song, Me and You.
Ordinary no, really don't think so
Not a love
this true
Common destiny
We were meant to be
Me and
you
Like a perfect scene from a movie screen
Where every
dream comes true
Suited perfectly for eternity
Me and
you
Every day, I need you even more
At the nighttime
too
There's no way
I could ever let you go
Even if I wanted
to
Every day I live
I try my best to give
All I have to
you
I thank the stars above
That we share this love Me and
you
Every day, I need you even more
At the nighttime
too
There's no way
I could ever let you go
Even if I wanted
to
Ordinary no, I really don't think so
Just a precious
few
Ever make it last
Get as lucky as
Me and you
Me and
you
"I love you, Randy." Natalie said as the song ended.
"I love you more, Shorty."
