AUSTIN'S POV:
A week later...
I waited for Ally at the end of the staircase.
Austin: Ally! Hurry up! We are going to be late for Trish's wedding!
Ally: Hold on.
I looked down at my watch. Wow women take a long time to get ready. I looked up again and I froze. I was staring at the most beautiful thing I've ever seen before. Ally looked beautiful.
Ally: (walking down the stairs) What do you think?

Austin: (stuttering) Y-Y-Y-YOU LOOK AWESOME! (holds out hand)
Ally: (grabs his hand) Thanks and you also look handsome with you tuxedo.
Austin: (blushing) Thanks. My mom made me wear it.
(.)
Ally: Well... it looks cute.
Austin: But not as cute as you. You look amazing. Beautiful.
I started to lean forward, but Ally stopped me.
Ally: Austin! We're going to be late.
Austin: You're right.
We quickly went in the car and drove to the church. We got out of the car and quickly took our place in the front row. We couldn't greet Trish or Dez, because the ceremony was already starting. I was really bored through the whole ceremony, but Ally looked so delighted and eager. Various times I tried falling asleep but Ally made me stay awake and said that it was very important for me to stay awake for something so "beautiful" like a wedding. Wow Ally can be so boring sometimes. Then FINALLY the preacher said the key lines that meant that this thing was almost over.
Preacher: Dezmond Alexander Smith do you take Patricia Maria de La Rosa as your wife?
Dez: No. I came here to marry Trish not Patricia!
Trish: DEZ! My real name is Patricia!
Dez: Then why do they call you Trish?
Trish: Because it's my nickname!
Dez: But why Trish and not Pat?
Trish: Dez just answer the question!
Dez: Can you repeat the question please?
Preacher: (annoyed) Dezmond Alexander Smith do you take Patricia Maria de La Rosa as your wife?
Dez: I do.
Preacher: Patricia Maria de La Rosa do you take Dezmond Alexander Smith as your husband?
Trish: I do.
Preacher: Very well then. Dez you may know kiss the bride.
Dez and Trish turned towards each other and started kissing for a very long time. It was very disgusting to watch. Yup and they are still kissing. Wow! These two really must love each other. Until finally they got away from each other. Then finally Trish faced the guest and started yelling her famous phrase.
Trish: Guess who's ready to party!
We drove from the church and to Trish's house. The party was at her house's backyard. Ally and I got there and saw that there was a lot of people. We saw as Trish was running all over the backyard and Dez was yelling at his grandma. It was complete chaos! Ally and I took a seat at a table. The waiters served us our meal and we both ate while talking. We were having a great time until Trish's mom made a speech for her daughter. She got so emotionally that she started crying. Trish looked annoyed, but Dez looked confused. Several other people then went up and made a speech.
Austin: I think you should go. Say something. About Dez and Trish.
Ally: You think?
Austin: Yea.
Ally got up and started walking up to the stage.
Ally: Good Evening! For those of you who don't know me, I am Ally, the very proud friend of our glamorous Bride. I want to start by congratulating bride and groom, and thanking all of you for coming here today.
When I look at the bride and groom, I feel such a whirlwind of emotions? I know that Trish has found her true match and I know that theirs will be a marriage of long standing. My heart is bursting with love for you two today. I know you have a wonderful adventure ahead of you, and with God's blessing your marriage will last for decades to come.
Trish, I want to note how beautiful you look today, and to tell you that this has truly been a special day for me. Thank you for giving true meaning to the word friend and for sharing the last 13 years with me. My parents and I have just loved this girl since kindergarten. We've coddled her, enjoyed her, and laughed with her.? I know how much joy she has brought into our lives, and I know that she'll bring that joy into Dez's life as well.
As children, Trish and I were pretty much inseparable, and we always managed to keep each other laughing. When I think back on our adventures in childhood, I have nothing but fond memories. The fondest memories include the times we spent at the river having picnic lunches.
Separately, you are two special, remarkable people, but together you are complete. As you sit side by side through this roller coaster of life, remember to scream from the peaks, hold hands through the dips, laugh through the loop the loops, and enjoy every twist and turn.
For the ride is much better when you share it together. Coming together is the beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.
My wishes for Dez and Trish are that they have a continued loving friendship and partnership; that they enjoy success and laughter; that they are blessed with children; and that they always see and talk with their heart.?
Everyone starts standing up from their seats and start clapping, even me. Then out of nowhere Trish started yelling.
Trish: (raising up her glass) Cheers everyone!
Everyone raises up their glass and the music starts and everyone starts dancing. Ally and Trish were talking and Dez was dancing with his grandma. Wow, Dez must really love his grandma. I was alone seating in my chair when suddenly someone tapped me on my shoulder.
?: Hey Austin! Why so lonely?
I turned around and was shocked.
Austin: Angelica! What are you doing here?
Angelica: Well Dez invited me to his wedding since I'm his cousin. Or don't you remember.
Austin: Of course I remember.
Angelica: (putting hand on cheek) You look so hot with that tux.
Austin: Thanks Angelica. But I have a girlfriend and you can't be acting like this around me.
Angelica: Girlfriend? (flirty) But Austin I was your girlfriend. We used to love each other until your parents got in our way.
Austin: Angelica, that was years ago. Now I don't love you anymore and if you excuse me... I need to go perform a song.
Angelica: You're a singer?
Austin: Yea.
I then headed towards the stage and got everyone's attention.
Austin: Hey everybody! I'm Austin Moon and I'm going to sing a song for the newlywed couple. Ally, babe this goes for you too.
I saw as everyone exited the dance floor and left it just for Dez and Trish. They both got ready to dance their first dance. And I started singing.
Everyday I wake up next to a angel
More beautiful than words could say
They said it wouldn't work but what did they know?
Cause years passed and we're still here today
Never in my dreams did I think that this would happen to me
As I stand here before my woman
I cant fight back the tears in my eyes
Oh how could I be so lucky
I must've done something right
And I promise to love her for the rest of my life
Seems like yesterday when she first said hello
Funny how time fly's by when you're in love
It took us a lifetime to find each other
It was worth the wait cause I finally found the one
Never in my dreams did I think that this would happen to me
As I stand here before my woman
I cant fight back the tears in my eyes
Oh how could I be so lucky
I must've done something right
And I promise to love her for the rest of my life
I finished the song and smiled at Ally and saw as Trish and Dez stopped dancing and kissed. It was really cute I couldn't wait for me and Ally to get married. Even though Ally thought it was way too soon. I quickly exited the stage, but Angelica stopped me.
Angelica: You sing so beautiful. And you looked so beautiful performing.
Austin: Thanks, but I have to go find my girlfriend.
Then Angelica grabbed my tie and forced me to stay with her. She then pulled me closer and wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me. I tried pushing her away but she was way too strong. Then finally she let go and smiled. I opened my eyes and saw Ally standing there. Her eyes were watery.
Austin: Ally, I can explain.
Ally: (crying) Austin, there's nothing to explain.
She ran away from me, but I followed her. I finally catched up and grabbed her arm, forcing her to stop.
Ally: Austin, let go of me.
Austin: I won't let go until you listen to me.
Ally: I said let go!
Just then she slapped me across my face and I let go of her.
