Chapter 21
August 29th, 1998
Adam's POV
Michele didn't allow Coach to see her at all that morning, said something about how it is bad luck. In fact, she hadn't seen him from when he went to the hospital to pick me up. Hans was transported back and forth between Coach and Michele. One of their parents or I would have to do the transporting. Coach was a nervous nelly about getting married. "Gordon you need something to calm your nerves," Mr. Tibbles said.
"Were you ever this nervous the day you got married?" Coach asked.
"Yep, both times," Mr. Tibbles said. I glared at Mr. Tibbles; I didn't think that he was ever married.
"Here you can have a nip of alcohol that will calm your nerves," Thomas MacKay said.
Coach was so nervous that I had to tie his tie. "There you go, how are you feeling now, Coach?" I asked as I finished the tie job.
"A little nervous, but better than I was this morning," Coach said as he smiled at me.
They had a small ceremony in the backyard. A few neighbors, Me, Mr. Tibbles, Baby Hans, a friend of Michele's from college, Eleanor, Thomas and Patricia MacKay and the ducks via the phone. Michele looked beautiful in her dress; I could only imagine what Bella would look like when it was her turn.
"My friends, we are gathered here today to celebrate one of life's greatest moments, to give recognition to the worth and beauty of committed marital love and to add our best wishes to the words which shall unite, Gordon Andrew Bombay and Michele Elizabeth MacKay in marriage. Who gives this woman to be married to this man?" Judge Carson asked.
"I do," Thomas said, he was crying as he was giving Ms. MacKay away and then he sat down.
"The commitment that the two of you are about to make is the most important commitment that two people can make, you are about to create something new, the marriage relationship, an entity that never ends. As you stand here today, are you now prepared to begin this commitment to one another?" Judge Carson asked.
"I am," Both Coach and Michele said.
"Have you come here freely and without reservation to give yourselves to each other in marriage?" Judge Carson asked.
"I have," Coach and Michele said.
"Gordon Andrew Bombay and Michele Elizabeth MacKay, I would ask that you both remember to treat yourself and each other with dignity and respect, to remind yourself often of what brought you together today. Give the highest priority to the tenderness, gentleness, and kindness that your marriage deserves. When frustration and difficulty assail your marriage as these do to every relationship at one time or another focus on what still seems right between you, not only the part that seems wrong. This way, when clouds of trouble hide the sun in your lives and you lose sight of it for a moment, you can remember that the sun is still there. And if each of you will take responsibility for the quality of your life together, it will be marked by abundance and delight," Judge Carson said.
"Do you Gordon Andrew Bombay take Michele Elizabeth MacKay to be your wedded wife?" Judge Carson asked.
"I will," Coach said.
"Will you love and comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her as long as you both shall live?" Judge Carson asked.
"You bet I will," Coach said.
"Do you Michele Elizabeth MacKay take Gordon Andrew Bombay to be your wedded husband?" Judge Carson asked.
"I will," Michele said.
"Will you love and comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him as long as you both shall live?" Judge Carson asked.
"I will," Michele said.
"Since it is your intention to enter, into marriage, join your right hands and declare your consent before these witnesses by repeating after me. I Gordon Andrew Bombay take you Michele Elizabeth MacKay," Judge Carson said.
"I Gordon Andrew Bombay take you Michele Elizabeth MacKay," Coach said.
"To be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, as long as we both shall live," Judge Carson said.
"To be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, as long as we both shall live," Coach said.
"Michele Elizabeth MacKay take this ring as a sign of my commitment and fidelity to you," Judge Carson said.
"Michele Elizabeth MacKay take this ring as a sign of my commitment and fidelity to you," Coach said as he slid her ring onto her finger.
"I Michelle Elizabeth MacKay take you Gordon Andrew Bombay," Judge Carson said.
"I Michelle Elizabeth MacKay take you Gordon Andrew Bombay," Michele said.
"To be my husband to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, as long as we both shall live," Judge Carson said.
"To be my husband to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, as long as we both shall live," Michele said.
"Gordon Andrew Bombay take this ring as a sign of my commitment and fidelity to you," Judge Carson said.
"Gordon Andrew Bombay take this ring as a sign of my commitment and fidelity to you," Michele said as she slid his ring onto his finger.
"Gordon and Michele, in so much as the two of you have agreed to live together in matrimony, have promised your commitment to each other by these vows and the joining of your hands and the giving of these rings, by the authority vested in me by the State of California, I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. Congratulations, you may kiss your bride," Judge Carson said.
As Coach and Ms. MacKay. I mean Mrs. Bombay were kissing I thought to myself, don't cry, Adam only sissy's cry. "Oh, what the hell," I said, and I started to cry.
"May I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Andrew Bombay," Judge Carson said.
Then we heard, "QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, QUACK," out of the Ducks.
"Alright, Alright that's enough, Ducks. Go to Mickey's and Celebrate," Coach said.
When I hugged Coach and Mrs. Bombay I said, "Well congratulations Coach and Ms. Mac-, I mean Mrs. Bombay."
"Oh, Adam call me, Michele," Michele said as she put her hand on my face, lovingly.
"I will Michele, I will," I said.
Later that night after most of the guests have left and Coach and Michele was packing up there car to go to their honeymoon hotel in San Francisco, "Adam, are you sure you won't be upset, by us not taking you back up to Lakeshore, tomorrow?" Michele asked.
"Michele, I have told you and coach a hundred times. Go it's your Honeymoon. Enjoy, have fun, get drunk, have sex, lots of sex. I and Eleanor will be fine. Mike will be here to pick me up tomorrow morning," I said.
Thomas and Patricia MacKay were leaving first thing in the morning to go back to Duluth, Minnesota. Eleanor was going to be watching over Baby Hans while Coach and Michele were on a 3-day honeymoon. Coach for some reason had business to take care of in Minneapolis at the tail end of the week, I didn't know why.
"Michele he will be fine, and we will see him at the next parent's day in a few weeks," Coach said.
"Alright you take care of yourself Adam," Michele said as she hugged me goodbye.
"I will," I said.
"See you in a few weeks, you behave," Coach said.
"I will," I said. Then Michele and Coach got into their car and drove away.
