Chapter 21
Down in the living room, the guys were staging obstacles for the groom, in other words, Gordo.
"Step one! To show how generous you are to your family, slip in a cheque with any numerals on it!" Matt roared over the noise caused by guests and relatives who came to attend and witness the official wedding of Elizabeth McGuire and David Gordon.
Gordo flipped open his chequebook and scribbled some numbers and his signature on it. He slipped the cheque worth $99.99 through the iron gates. The guys howled as they saw the cheque. They proceeded to open the gate for Gordo to enter.
"Step two! To show how manly you are, do 50 push-ups." Ethan yelled, causing the crowd to start cheering.
'I could see this was coming!' Gordo thought, as he did the push-ups readily, his buddies counting for him. Beads of perspiration trickled down as he finished the last push-up. He jumped up and brushed the sweat away. Gordo straightened his jacket and listened for his next step.
"Next, to show how romantic you are, stand below Lizzie's balcony and serenade her. Then, collect your bride!" Larry shouted.
"Gordo, Gordo, Gordo!" Everyone cheered. Matt led Gordo out to under his sister's balcony.
"... I would give the world for you, my love is all I have to give." Gordo serenaded, his deep masculine voice ringing through Lizzie's ears, sending shivers up and down her spine.
As he walked through the back door, he saw Lizzie in the stunning wedding gown she had chosen, except now she looked 10 times more beautiful. Her hair was braided into many tiny braids, then pulled back into an elegant bun, strands of loose fringe hanging freely, framing her oval- shaped face. Her nails were painted frosted pink and she had glittery red lip- gloss covering her full, luscious lips. The guys whistled at the three beautiful ladies descending elegantly from the stairs like angels descending from heaven.
Gordo was speechless. His eyes were firmly planted on Lizzie. He was fully mesmerized and hypnotised by her beauty. Gordo stepped forward and took Lizzie's gloved in his and led her to the shining white Mercedes waiting.
