CHAPTER 7: THE WONDER OF YOU

THE WONDER OF YOU

When no-one else can understand me

When everything I do is wrong

You give me hope and consolation

You give me strength to carry on

And you're always there to lend a hand

In everything I do

That's the wonder

The wonder of you

And when you smile the world is brighter

You touch my hand and I'm a king

Your kiss to me is worth a fortune

Your love for me is everything

I'll guess I'll never know the reason why

You love me like you do

That's the wonder

The wonder of you

TUESDAY JANUARY 8, 2008 3:00PM

She was stunning, a true thing of beauty. Her long auburn hair swept up, away from her face, in curly ringlets; held by crystal studded pins that sparkled in the light. Her veil was plain but lovely, pinned to the back of her head and ending gently at her fingertips. Her dress was traditional; strapless with a beaded bodice; the beading continued along the bottom of her full skirt, in the same scrolled pattern. Feeling a little self-conscious about her fair skin and freckled shoulders, she wore a lace shawl that belonged to her mother. And because she only stood five-feet, six-inches tall, and her husband-to-be measured 6'4", she wore shoes with heels much higher than she was used to. Luckily her father was right beside her, his arm entwined with hers, holding her steady as she made the most important walk of her life.

"Are you ready Daddy?", Dolly asked as she watched her Matrons of Honor; Jordan, holding Millie and Colleen, holding Colin, walk slowly down the long aisle. "Not really.", Charlie whispered. "Daddy?", she turned to face him, seeing the tears forming in his eyes. "What's wrong?", she asked, sniffling back her own tears. "Nothing Baby, I'm so happy for you.", he paused for a moment. "I'm just not ready to let you go.", he added, as the music started and they were cued to start walking. Dolly took in a shaky breath and tried to look ahead, but her vision was blurred by the tears waiting to spill over. "Nigel's a lucky man.", he choked out just as the reached the alter. She nodded and hugged him tight. Charlie wordlessly shook the hand of the awaiting groom, gave his daughters hand to Nigel and took his place next to his wife.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised with the way the day was going. Knowing what a fan Nigel was and this being Elvis' birthday, Dolly half expected him to be standing at the alter in a sequined jumpsuit, platform boots and a lined cape to match. But to her amazement, he was dressed just as traditionally as she was; he wore a dark gray, tailed tuxedo with striped tie. He even had a top hat and walking stick for show. The chapel had been a little more flashy then she would have chosen herself, but was beautiful none the less. The a-joining dinning room on the other hand was the most beautiful room she had ever stepped into. It was decorated regally, from the huge crystal chandeliers that hung from the ceiling to the imported china dinnerware and satin chair covers.

As champagne was being served and appetizers were eaten, Bug decided to give his speech. "I always knew I would someday be Nigel's best man. I mean I am his best friend and quite possibly his only friend….", Bug joked and turned to the happy couple. "I just never thought he would end up marrying such a beautiful, intelligent and normal woman. Those of us who work with Nigel, know the…um…what's the word.…ah…interesting ladies Nigel has dated in the past, are very, VERY pleased that he found you Dolly. Thank you for saving our friend.", he nods to Dolly as the crowd laughs. "So it's only fitting that in finding the perfect , most down-to-earth woman, Nigel wins his wedding in a radio station contest and drags us all out here, to Las Vegas to attend. Again, we welcome the continuity Nige.", Bug added sarcastically. "To Dolly and Nigel."

After a delicious dinner of filet mignon and lobster tail, followed by an absolutly decadent white chocolate-raspberry mousse cake, it was time for things to heat up, on the dance floor. Nigel and Dolly took to the floor where they were serenaded by the one and only Joey Tonoli, a fantastic performer, dubbedLas Vegas' best Elvis impersonator, five years running. "Looks like we have a future dancer on our hands.", Dolly chuckled as she took a seat next to Woody. "Yeah she hasn't stopped bouncing since the music started.", he replied laughing, as his daughter jumped up and down on his lap."You look beautiful Dol. This is a great wedding, he's really good.", Woody stated, giving her a kiss on the cheek and nodding to the stage. "Why thank you, Woods. You don't look half bad yourself.", she replied. "And it is great...so much better than I ever expected.", she added, taking Millie from her cousins hands.

About halway through the the evening Joey took a break to change from early Elvis to later Elvis. Mary took this opportunity to bring a very sleepy Millie and Colin back up to Woody and Jordan's room so they could get to bed and their parents could have some fun. Nigel was about to join Max, Garret and Charlie at the bar for cigars, when he heard arguing in the men's room. Nigel went over to Sam and explained the situation, who immediately dialed her phone. Dolly, seeing the commotion at the other end of the room, ran over to Nigel and asked what happened. "He left, just like that?", she gasped. "He said he had a family emergency, he'll be back tomorrow at breakfast to finish the show.", Nigel explained, for the second time. "Sam's calling around to find another act to play here. I'm sorry Luv, I hope you're not too disappointed.", he said wrapping his arms tightly around his bride. "No, I'm not going to anything ruin this wonderful day. And as for entertainment, I think we can make our own music.", she said with aseductive smile, pulling him closer and swaying as he kissed her.
