'That's fantastic' Phil said a grin stretching across his face 'and here's me thinking the day couldn't get any better. How far along are you?'
'About five weeks, are you sure this is what you want' Sam asked nervously
'Sam I love everything about you, I said that in my vows. This is all I want' he smiled
Sam relaxed into Phil's arms glad everything was going to be all right.
When they arrived at the estate they got their pictures taken in the garden before going inside. Everybody was having a great time drinking champagne, eating at the buffet and dancing. Phil and Sam walked into to the dancefloor to take their first dance as a married couple followed by whistling from the guests. As he whirled her around, he took a moment to look at her. She was perfect and he was the luckiest man in the planet. She smiled at him and as the song ended Jack came to dance with Sam and Phil began to dance with Abi. Mickey stood up and rattled his glass and everyone became quiet.
'Now I'm not really that great at speeches so I won't prolong your agony anymore than I need to. I've known Phil and Sam for a number of years now. I helped Phil through his crush on Sam and I knew from that minute they were meant to be together. They had this chemistry, this spark and although Sam liked playing hard to get I think she knew this as well. Anyway as a surprise from everyone at Sun Hill I'd like to give you this'
Mickey handed an envelope to Sam and Phil looked over her shoulder as she opened it. It was two tickets to the Seychelles leaving tomorrow morning. Sam nearly dropped it in shock. She knew how much this must have cost. The tears started rolling down her face as she smiled and thanked everyone. Phil jumped up beside Mickey.
'Well since your all quiet, I'd like to say a few words and unlike Mickey I'm an expert at speeches (everyone laughed) As you know a number of months ago I came very close to losing Sam. This made me realise how very precious she was to me and then when I proposed and she said yes I nearly fainted. I never thought she would and I'd like to say by saying yes she has made me the happiest man in the world.'
Everybody clapped and thought that was it so the chatter began again. Phil cleared his throat and everybody became quiet.
'That's enough' shouted Terry 'Our stomachs can't take much more'
Everybody laughed again and Phil grinned
'Yeah yeah Terry, this is the last bit I promise. Just when I thought my day couldn't get any better I received some more news.' A hush fell across the room. 'Well my gorgeous wife and I found out that we're expecting our first baby so in about eight months time I'm sure you'll all be laughing more when you see me attempt to handle this. Anyway that's it enjoy the rest of the evening'
The tears began flowing down Sam's face and Phil jumped down and hugged her. Everybody clapped. It was the end of a magical day and Phil knew this was just the start of it. They both got there very own happily ever after.
