"This is awkward." Corny wispered as all of the guests of the wedding were watching them have their first dance. Maybelle nodded and laughed, causing Corny to laugh also. The song came to an end and they kissed once more. Maybelle's father came and lightly shoved Corny out of the way dancing with his daughter for their father-daughter dance.
"Tell me baby girl, are you really in love with this man?" Lawrence ask.
"Yes daddy, I really love him, and he really loves me. The kids absolutly adore him, and Mom seems to also. " Maybelle reassured her father, and pointed to her mother and husband talking and laughing with each other.
"If he ever hurts-" Lawrence said but Maybelle quickly ended the long speech.
"He won't. He loves me to much." Maybelle said her eyes glued to him. The father daughter dance came to a close and Corny swooped right back in not skipping a beat. The player of the music invited everyone to join the couple on the dance floor. Everyone gathered around and started to dance, but Corny held on to Maybelle's hips as they danced not wanting her to slip away just yet.
"Hey Dad can I steal my momma away for a sec?" Seaweed ask as "The Twist" by Chubby Checker came to an end. "The Locomotive" by Little Eva started to play and Seaweed grabbed Maybelle's hand and smoothly guided her infront of him to dance. Inez noticed that Corny was alone so she glided infront of him and danced.
"Momma are you okay?" Seaweed ask Maybelle.
"Why does everyone keep asking me that? I'm fine." Maybelle said laughing. Seaweed shruged it off and kept dancing until he saw Simon start to creep up behind Maybelle.
"Hey man," Seaweed said lightly pushing past Maybelle, "get away from my momma." Maybelle turned around to see Seaweed standed toe to toe with Simon.
"Seaweed stop," Inez said taking her brothers arm, "like you said earlier he ain't worth it." Seaweed nodded and stepped back.
"What do you want Simon?" Maybelle ask as "I Can't Stop Loving You" by Ray Charles started to play.
"I requested this song so I could dance with you." Simon slickly said placing his hands on Maybelle's waist.
"No." Maybelle said pushing his hands off of her body. She always hated the feel of his hands touching her. It made her sick to her stomach. "I'll dance with my husband." She walked away and found her man wrapping her arms around his neck. They danced around with the other couples on the floor.
For hours they ate and danced untill it was time to leave.
"Alright you guys this is the last song!" The man playing the music said, he played " You Can't Stop The Beat" and Tracy came to the middle and started singing. The whole group sung the song and danced how they originally perfomed the song, but at the end Maybelle added something.
"...Child yesterday is history
and it's never comin back
For tomorrow is a brand new day and it don't know white from black!" But instead of jumping like everyone else, she grabbed her husband and kissed him for the 100th time that day. The song continued and as it ended everybody cheered and congradulated Maybelle and Corny as they all left.
Corny picked Maybelle up and spun her around, holding on tight so she wouldn't fall.
"I love you May."
"I love you too Rory." and with that the exited the dance hall, heading to their honeymoon.
