Chapter 7
It was a now a month after the couple had gotten engaged and Audrey was sitting on the couch in their living room, with a tub of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream in her lap, flipping through wedding books. Jack came downstairs and sat down next to her, stealing a spoonful of ice cream.
"Hey," she said playfully.
With an innocent look on his face, he replied, "What?"
Shaking her head at him, she looked back down at the wedding book currently in her hands, and sighed.
"What's wrong?" Jack asked.
"It's just so much work trying to plan a wedding," she said.
"You know, I've been thinking about that. We weren't planning on having a big wedding anyway right?" he continued after Audrey shook her head, "then why don' t we go away somewhere and get married? You know, just the two of us."
"You mean elope?" she asked.
"No, not really, just have our wedding somewhere else, like down in the tropics or something, that way we don't really have to plan a big wedding. We can still have guests, a few friends, your dad. We were planning on going somewhere warm for our honeymoon anyway so we'll just do it all in one shot."
She sat there quietly, contemplating his suggestion. After a minute or two she said, "That actually sounds like a good idea."
"You sure, I mean I only want to do this if its what you really want," he said, trying to tell if she was genuine in her enthusiasm.
"Yeah," she said with a smile, "I'm sure."
"Ok, then, where do you wanna do this?"
"Well, let's look at the list of our honeymoon spots," she replied, pulling out a sheet of paper that she had used as a place marker in one of the books. "Let's see, we have Hawaii, St. Thomas, The Bahamas, and Jamaica."
"I like Hawaii and The Bahamas," Jack said, trying to narrow down their choices.
"Yeah, me too, so now we just have to decide which one and book a hotel for a small wedding and a honeymoon," Audrey replied.
"Yeah," Jack said with a smile, "piece of cake,"
A month later, Jack and Audrey were walking out of the airport in Hawaii to the beautiful sunshine and a warm breeze. They had decided to hold their wedding on the islands, and were joined by a few friends of theirs that had jumped at the chance of a Hawaiian vacation to see their friends married. Secretary Heller had also taken a few days out of his schedule to fly down and attend his daughter's wedding.
The evening of the wedding, Jack stood on the beach next to the minister who was performing the ceremony, the sun setting behind them. Dressed in a black tux, Jack watched as Audrey walked towards him, dressed in a white strapless gown; both were barefoot. When Audrey reached Jack, he took her hand and smiled at her, whispering, "You look gorgeous."
As the ceremony drew to a close the minister declared, "I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride."
At the minster's declaration, Jack smiled at his new wife and leaned down to kiss her passionately, as their small group of guests clapped for them.
Pulling back from the kiss, Audrey breathed, "I love you."
"I love you too," Jack said as he took Audrey's hand and they walked back into the hotel, heading up to their honeymoon suite.
When they reached the door, Jack pulled the keycard out of his pocket and inserted it into the lock. After opening the door, he smiled at Audrey and scooped her up into his arms, carrying her across the doorway into their suite. As Audrey leaned in to capture his mouth, Jack expertly made his way across the room and gently laid her down on the bed, climbing on top of her. Looking up into his eyes, Audrey said, "I love you so much, Jack."
"I love you with all my heart, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you...Mrs. Bauer," he replied, as he once again captured her mouth with his.
