Chapter 3
20th July, 2010. 2:30pm
Apartment 14- Block B
Chad Danforth's Place
Troy stood in front of the full length mirror, tying his thin black and ivory striped tie neatly before straightening his whole outfit. He wore a white shirt with a black striped tie, a medium grey waistcoat and over that he wore a grey suit jacket along with matching pants and black shoes. He had a trimmed beard and his usual messy but neat styled hair which he knew Gabriella loved.
"Okay, your gonna be okay," Troy whispered to himself in the mirror, making sure he looked okay for his bride.
"Hello," Troy heard from behind him and he spun around just in time to see Chad and Jay slide into the room along with another one of their friends: Brody Lopez.
"Hey," Troy chuckled.
"Come on, we have to get to the church," Chad asked.
"Yeah," Troy breathed "Do I look okay?" Troy pondered, biting his lip harshly.
Brody nodded "You scrub up well, my friend," Brody answered, "Now let's go get you a hot wife," He laughed.
"Hey!" Troy exclaimed, punching his friend in the stomach "She's mine and today I'm gonna be uber protective," Troy pointed at Brody, eye brows raised.
"Yeah, yeah. Let's get to the church before she does," Brody wafted his hand about and started to push them all out of the apartment.
20th July, 2010. 2:45pm
Gabriella and Troy's Place,
Southern California
Gabriella let out a deep breath as she looked at her self in the mirror. She looked from her Christian Loubton white high heels which were hidden under her dress, she looked at the full length skirt of the dress and then up to the tight torso which hugged her perfectly. Gabriella's dark hair fell down to her mid back in curls. Her make-up was light but noticeable. (Cant describe the dress. Photo in profile. Same with Troy's suit)
"Gabriella are you ready to go?" Sharpay asked.
"Mhm is Felix here?" Gabriella asked, referring to her older brother who was 25. A year older than Troy and two years older than Gabriella.
"I'm here," His Spanish accent followed through the room.
"Felix Montez," Gabriella squealed, wrapping her arms tightly round her brother.
"Hey baby sis," Felix smiled, hugging her back lightly not wanting to ruin anything. "Let's see you," Felix pulled back, holding her hands and lifting them up, "You look amazing. Mom and dad would be very proud,"
"You think?" Gabriella welled up, chewing on her bottom lip.
"Of course, look at you," Felix smiled.
"Gabriella, re-apply that lip-gloss. Right now!" Sharpay exclaimed.
"Okay, okay,"
Once Gabriella touched up her make-up before they walked out of the door at ten to twelve. The wedding was due to start at mid day and it took 15 minutes to get to the church so she'd be late for her own wedding.
"Shar, we're late," Gabriella said, a worried frown across the forehead.
"Gabriella chill, your allowed. It is your wedding day after all," Sharpay explained, adjusting the spaghetti straps on her Maid of Honours dress.
"You'll be fine," Felix whispered to his baby sister.
Gabriella nodded, letting out a shaky breath.
20th July 2010. 3:10pm
Church
"Where is she?" Troy said, pacing slightly.
"Dude, stop. Your making me dizzy," Chad said, holding his best friend still.
Troy glared at his Best Man and ran a hand through his own hair "What if she's having second thoughts? Or decided she's not ready?" Troy ranted, "Oh fuck, you know the part in Friends where Emily jumps out of the bathroom window and leaves Ross. Gabriella's Emily," Troy exclaimed, fidgeting.
"Gabriella is not Emily," Jay said, shaking his head. "She'll be here soon just stop stressing out,"
"Just wait 'til you two get married," Troy glared at his friends before going to talk to his mom, dad, brothers and sister. "Hey," Troy said, sitting in front of them.
"Troy, when's the wedding actually going to start," Troy's sister asked.
"When Gabriella gets here," Troy shrugged, "So does Gabriella get the family seal of approval?" Troy joked.
They all laughed but his mom, Lucille answered "She certainly does,"
Troy grinned "I wish she'd hurry up," Troy breathed, biting his lip.
Just then some music started to play, Troy said a quick 'Bye' and stood at the end of the aisle. Chad giving him an encouraging nod. Everybody watched the bridesmaids and groomsmen walk down the aisle, smiling. Troy smiled once Sharpay walked down the aisle and then the wedding song came on.
20th July, 2010. 3:15pm
Church
"Ready?" Felix asked once Sharpay started to walk down the aisle.
"Yeah, just don't let me fall," Gabriella said in all seriousness.
Felix laughed at her quietly "Never, little sis," Felix answered before he walked Gabriella down the aisle.
Gabriella's smile widened as she saw Troy staring at her from the front, a soft smile on his face. She looked around at all of her's and Troy's friends and family who were all gathered together. Gabriella wanted a big wedding with all of Troy's family and both of their friends. Gabriella and Felix's parents had died when they were 6 and 8 years old and put up in a care home, they never did get fostered but when Felix was old enough, he got a job and brought Gabriella up himself and they moved into a small house when both of them started to work, their parents inheritance also helped them out a lot. Troy had a massive family so she wanted them all there.
Once Gabriella and Felix got to the front of the church. Felix kissed his sister's cheek "I love you, sis," He whispered only to her.
"Love you too," Gabriella smiled, giving him a quick hug before taking Troy's outstretched hand.
"You look amazing," Troy whispered, smiling, lacing their fingers.
"So do you," Gabriella whispered, grinning.
Troy let out a small laugh and stroked the back of her thumb with the pad of his own before looking back at the priest.
"Dearly beloved…" The priest begins.
The priest said his bit and Troy was anxious to get married to Gabriella and it was slowly happening.
The priest finally gets to the bit Troy had been waiting for, for 10 months. "Troy repeat after me; In the name of God, I Troy Alexander Bolton take you, Gabriella Noelle Montez to be my wife,"
Troy grinned, taking Gabriella's right hand in his right hand "In the name of God, I Troy Alexander Bolton take you, Gabriella Noelle Montez to be my wife,"
"To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until death due us part," The priest told Troy to repeat him.
"To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for picher," Everybody laughed at his mistake, Troy grinned and shook his head. "For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death due us part," Troy finished, letting off a small laugh.
"Now Gabriella repeat after me, let's see if you can do it better than Troy," The priest smiled and Gabriella let a small giggle escape her lips.
"In the Name of God, I Gabriella Noelle Montez, take you Troy Alexander Bolton, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death due us part," Gabriella finished.
The priest then put his hand over the top of their and said a few words before letting go and asked for the rings.
Chad smiled and dug them out of his pocket, passing them over to Troy and Gabriella. "Thanks man," Troy said, nodding at his friend.
The priest again asked Troy to repeat him. "Gabriella, I give you this ring as a symbol of my vow, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honour you, in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of that Holy Sprit," Troy pushed the slim white gold wedding band onto Gabriella's ring finger of her left hand. Troy looked back up at her face and saw her smiling big at him.
"Now you, Gabriella," The priest said.
"Troy, I give you this ring as a symbol of my vow, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honour you, in the Name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit," Gabriella pushed the thicker white gold wedding band onto his left hand on his ring finger.
"Now by the power, vested in me. I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride," The priest said and the whole church cheered and clapped.
"I love you so much," Gabriella grinned, wrapping her arms around Troy's neck and bring his lips down to her's, pecking them twice.
"I love you too, Mrs Bolton," Troy smiled, his arms tight around her waist giving her a longer kiss, holding her cheek, softly in one hand, stroking it with the pad of his thumb. Once they pulled back, the priest spoke again.
"Mr and Mrs Bolton," Troy then took Gabriella's hand and they made their way out of the church, people patting Troy on the back and smiling at the newly wed couple.
When they got outside, Troy immediately pulled his new wife into a passionate kiss. Gabriella's hands holding his tense biceps as one circled her petite waist and then other hand held the back of her head. "You look stunning," Troy said once his retreated his lips and tongue from his wife.
"Yeah?" Gabriella asked, playing with Troy's hair.
"Definitely," Troy mumbled, kissing Gabriella's cheek, jaw line, neck, then shoulder as he brought her into a hug.
"You scrub up pretty good yourself," Gabriella teased, threading her fingers threw his short hair at the back of Troy's head.
"Why thank you," Troy chuckled, giving her a squeeze before letting her go as everybody started to spill out of the beautiful church. "Quick let's get to the reception before anybody talks to us," Troy said, cheekily and of course grinning his boyish grin.
"Troy," Gabriella laughed as he dragged her toward the Bentley that brought Gabriella to the church.
Half an hour later, everybody was now at the reception and seated ready for the meal. Troy couldn't take his hands or lips off Gabriella as they sat next to each other on a table full of other people. They didn't want a top table because they wanted to interact with everyone else.
"Hey everybody," Felix exclaimed and everybody's attention went to Felix. Troy's arm was still around the back of Gabriella's chair. "So I guess I'm the first to make a start on the speeches. So when Gabriella told me she wanted me to make a speech, I was terrified but so happy that she wanted me to do it. Me and Gabriella haven't had the easiest lives but she came out of it so much better. She found the love of her life at the age of 19 and obviously she's still with him. You look beautiful, Gab. Thank you all for coming and celebrating this day with Troy and Gabriella. Troy welcome to the family even though there is only two of us," Felix laughed with everybody else. Troy nodded at Felix. "To the bride and groom," Felix raised his glass of champagne as everybody repeated him. Felix sat back down, a couple of seats away from the couple. Felix looked at Gabriella who had small tears rolling down her face and opened his arms. Gabriella got up and went to hug Felix.
"Thank you so much," Gabriella whispered, hugging her brother.
"Thank you so asking me to make a speech. Mom and Dad would be so proud of you," Felix replied, pulling back, "Now go back to your husband, he looks like he's missing you already,"
Gabriella laughed and wiped her tears away, she kissed his cheek before going back to sit with Troy.
"You okay?" Troy, scooting his chair closer to her, pushing her hair away from her big bambi eyes.
"Yeah, just emotional," Gabriella smiled.
"Your parents?" Troy asked, knowingly.
"Mhm," Gabriella hummed.
"They'll be looking down on you and would be just as proud of you as I am," Troy whispered, getting closer to her lips.
"Thank you, babe," Gabriella smiled, pressing a light kiss to his lips before the starter was served.
After the whole meal, it was time for Troy and Chad to make their speeches. It was Troy's turn first so he stood up and gained everybody attention.
"Hey, first I'd like to say thank you to Felix for his speech. I know it was hard and you thought you were taking your father's spot but I know that Gabriella not only thinks of you as a brother but also a father. Thank you for bringing her up like you have, she'll be well looked after." Troy reassured his brother-in-law. "Next thank you all for coming and for all the gifts even though we told everyone we didn't want anything," Troy smiled and made everyone laugh "Thank you mom and dad for all the support over the years, I'm glad you've kept me grounded and in place throughout high school when I was getting to big for my boots. Chad, I am dreading your speech man," Everybody laughed at this "It better be child-friendly," Troy pointed at his best man. "Oh and Thank you for being my best man today. You really are a good friend for many, many reasons. Lastly, Gabs you look absolutely gorgeous. I can't believe you've grown from a shy, timid nineteen year old into my beautiful, confident wife. I can't find any words to say to you other than I love you with all my heart and all that I am and thank you for being my wife," Troy leant down and gave Gabriella a couple of small kisses "Cheers," Troy said before sitting back down.
"Aw, baby," Gabriella cooed, making everyone at the table laugh as Troy blushed slightly.
"Gabs," Troy whined.
Gabriella laughed at her husband before giving him a chaste kiss on his lips. Just as she pulled away, louder music started to play and their song came on.
"Please can we have Mr and Mrs Troy Bolton on the dance floor," The DJ announced over the microphone.
"Bolton," Troy said, standing up and offering his hand to Gabriella.
"Yes, Bolton?" Gabriella grinned, taking his hand and standing up herself.
"Dance with me?" Troy asked and Gabriella nodded quickly and let him lead her onto the dance floor, wrapping both of his muscular arms around her. The type of muscles you could only get from working at a ranch his whole life AND being in the Lakers weight room. Gabriella's thin arms snaked up and around Troy's neck, gently playing with the hairs on his neck.
"I hate dancing in front of people," Gabriella mumbled, looking from Troy's chest to his blue eyes.
Troy kept swaying them slowly from side to side "You've never minded at a club," Troy commented, rubbing the small of her back to try and offer some comforted to the brunette beauty.
"That's because nobody is paying attention to me, everyone is off in their own worlds," Gabriella defended.
Troy raised an eyebrow and brought his lips down to her's, giving her a passionate kiss hoping he could send Gabriella off in their own little world. His hands rubbing up and down her back before holding her sides, bringing her flush against him. Troy licked then gently sucked on her lower lip, pulling back as he heard wolf whistles and hollers. Troy laughed and looked at his friends who were doing all sorts of gestures.
"And that's why I hate dancing in front of people," Gabriella said, looking up at Troy who turned his attention back to her.
Troy chuckled lightly, cupping both of her cheeks and kissing her lightly again, "I love you," Troy mumbled, pressing another kiss to her lips as she stroked her smooth cheeks.
"I love you too," Gabriella whispered, almost inaudibly.
Towards the end of the song, all the couples. Boyfriends and girlfriends, husbands and wife's all started to dance on the floor along with the newly married couple who couldn't keep their hands or lips off each other. Just as the song finished, Chad Danforth decided this would be a great time for his speech.
"Alright everybody. I know everybody wants to dance and get smashed so I'll make this quick," Chad laughed into the microphone, "Troy, you couldn't of found a better girl. She puts you in place and defiantly isn't afraid to tell you when your wrong. Gabster, your like a sister to me and you could do a lot better than Bolton here," Chad joked and everybody 'ooed' and laughed, "Only kidding man. Anyway I'd like to take the opportunity to say that Troy was very well behaved during the stag do, we went out for a couple of beers and then he went home while we went clubbing," He saw Gabriella raised her eyebrow at Troy which a not-believing look. "Told you she wouldn't buy it," Chad smirked as Troy shook his head and laughed. "That is all and I hope you all have a good night," Chad put the microphone down and took a gulp out of his beer as the music got louder and faster songs started to play.
"I'm going to talk to your family," Gabriella said, leaning up to kiss Troy cheek.
"Can't you stay?" Troy pouted, keeping one arm around her waist.
"Troy," Gabriella whined.
"Fine, fine. See you in a minute," Troy said, tugging her closer and kiss her quickly before she worked her way round to Troy's family starting with Troy's brothers and sister then Troy's Grandma and Grandad then his dad and then his mom.
"Hi Lucille," Gabriella smiled, taking a seat next to her husband's mom.
"Oh Gabriella," Lucille smiled, hugging her tight "I haven't seen you since the ceremony," She said, pulling back from the hug.
Gabriella smiled at her mother-in-law, "Troy wouldn't let me go," She giggled.
Lucille rolled her eyes "Let's see the ring," Gabriella showed her left hand to her and smiled and Lucille gasped, "It's beautiful," She said, looking at the wedding band and the engagement ring.
"Thank you," Gabriella smiled and then felt a pair of arms wrapped around her neck, loosely.
"Hi mom," Troy said, looking over at his mom who just let Gabriella's hand go.
"Hi sweetie, how are you?" Lucille asked.
"Very happy," Troy grinned, pressing a kiss to the top of Gabriella's head. "You having a good time?"
"Yeah, your father thinks he's young so he's trying to dance," Lucille pointed over to where her husband was. Troy and Gabriella turning their heads and burst out laughing.
"So when are you guys going to Paris?" Lucille asked.
"A couple of days," Troy answered, moving his hands to Gabriella's shoulders.
Lucille nodded "How's the ring feel? I know when me and your dad got married, it felt so weird wearing a ring 24/7,"
"It does feel strange but I like it. It lets me call this beaut my wife," Troy grinned, squeezing Gabriella shoulders lightly.
"Corny," Gabriella simply said, tilting her head back to see his handsome face.
Troy had now rid himself off his suit jacked and his waist coat because even though it was deep into October it was pretty warm. His black tie was slightly pulled down a little and the top two buttons of his white shirt were undone. Gabriella stroked his muscular, tan forearms due to his shirt sleeves being rolled up to his elbows. The white shirt really did show off his natural Californian tan.
Troy just shrugged and bit his lip, bending down and kissing her forehead, sweetly.
"I'm going to go and find Jack before he does something to break his hip," Lucille laughed and got up, giving them a hug before walking off to her husband. Troy took his mom's seat next to Lucille and just looked at Gabriella while she watched his mom and dad interact with a slight smile on her face.
"What?" Gabriella finally asked once she realized he was staring at her.
"Your look so beautiful," Troy whispered, huskily. Edging toward the end of his seat.
"Thank you," Gabriella smiled, licking her newly glossed lips.
"Come here," Troy patted his lap and Gabriella stood up only to be pulled down onto Troy's lap, wrapping her arms around his shoulders, "I'm so happy right now,"
"Me too,"
"I've been wanting to tell you something for a while now," Troy started and Gabriella's face dropped and her stomach flipped and churned, "Nothing bad, baby. I promise," Troy sealed it with a kiss and took Gabriella's silence as a sign to continue "I brought us a new house, it's in Calabasas,"
"But what about the ranch?" Gabriella asked, frowning.
"Leo wants to take it over instead of my dad. I spent all my life at the ranch and I really want to see other places. I looked at the city when I had practise once. It's beautiful," Troy explained.
"Troy," Gabriella squealed, happily and pressed a few quick kisses to Troy's lip as he laughed at her response. "Thank you so much!" Gabriella exclaimed, grinning. This was seriously the best day of her life.
"Your welcome," Troy smiled at how happy he could make his wife buy just buying a house and being her husband. "That house is where were going to start are life. After we come back from Paris, we're going straight there,"
"Troy Bolton, your amazing," Gabriella breathed, wiping the lip-gloss from his lips with her thumb.
Troy pressed a kiss to her thumb "It's the start of something new," Troy smiled and captured her lips in a kiss again not caring that he got her lip-gloss on his lips which was wiped off only seconds before.
