Chapter 30
"I was thinking about a good date for the wedding," Sandy said as she smiled at Paul, who was still gently rubbing her belly.
"Oh yeah? And what day would that be?"
"I think the logical choice would be your birthday."
"But there's a show scheduled in Vienna, Austria that day and I could be active again by then."
He then thought a moment. "Wait a minute…….."
"What?" Sandy asked.
"You and Tyler have current passports, don't you?"
She nodded. "Of course. We renewed them when we went with my mother to France last summer. Why?"
Paul quirked an eyebrow. "How about a wedding in Vienna since you want to do it on my birthday?"
"Would that work? You know we're going to have to bring the families over if you're on the schedule that night, not to mention that would be a long day for you. And would a Austrian marriage be legal in the US?"
"I'll deal with the long day," he replied. "And marriages legally performed in Austria are generally recognized in the States. There's some documentation we'll need to have it done there, but that shouldn't be a problem, either."
"Wonder what the weather will be like?" Sandy wondered. "I hope we aren't going to be freezing to death over there."
"Well, Vienna is usually influenced by the weather of southern Russia and Eastern Europe, which means it's considerably milder than the one in the mountains or Upper Austria. And it being April, it might be pretty pleasant by then."
"Lucky me to have a well-traveled guy to ask these kinds of things," Sandy chuckled.
"Yeah, but I wouldn't get too far ahead of ourselves. I don't even know if I'll be on the schedule then. You may end up with boring old me in a regular American ceremony at home."
"You, boring? I think not."
"Either way, we have to get moving on this thing before you start showing."
"That reminds me. Did you tell your parents about the baby?" Sandy wondered.
"Yeah. I'm not sure what Dad's thinking, but I can say for sure that Mamá is thrilled out of her mind. She's finally getting a grandchild."
"Why do I get the feeling that between your mother and mine, this is going to be a spoiled baby? Then again, I should add Daddy here to that mix." She patted his thigh.
Paul gave her an innocent look. "Not me."
"Yeah, right!" Sandy said with a chuckle. "And I'll be the 'mean mommy' in the interim."
"Speaking of which…."
She knew what Paul was about to say. "Tyler knows too, and really, he didn't say much about it one way or the other."
"Wow, I was expecting him to throw a fit or something."
"Me too, but he seemed to take it well."
"Let's hope the trend continues," Paul nodded. "But for now, we better get in gear with this wedding thing, whether we end up in the States or in Austria."
