Epilogue
I reached past Chad to grab a little quiche. "Hey, haven't you eaten enough already?" I slapped his hand away as he tried to steal my food.
"Nope. A real man is always hungry." He patted his flat stomach and grinned.
"Then why are you always hungry?" I smirked.
"Har har har," he said, grabbing the quiche and popping it into his mouth before I could stop him.
"You are such a brat," I said, smiling, and wiping at his mouth.
"It's not my fault. Besides, you wouldn't ruin your perfectly white dress by getting quiche insides on it." He had a point. I did not want to ruin this dress.
"But you have on an equally expensive tux," I retorted. "At least lemme know how good it was, so I know how much I was missing out on."
"It's horrible, you would be glad I took it off your hands," he lied.
"Good," I said.
"Good."
"Fine."
"Fine."
"God, you two are so immature." Tawni had come up behind me, her date in tow.
"Thanks, Tawn. Don't you look cute!" I told her, grinning up at her.
She was wearing the same white dress I was. It was strapless, and had a bubble skirt. The top was covered in blue lace, but the lace stopped at the baby blue bow that was right under the bust. A silver charm bracelet with a cake, ring, shoes, and a dress was on our right wrist, and I wore silver pumps, which matched our silver hoop earrings. Our hair was all done up differently, though. My hair was done in a simple up do, with curls and a silver butterfly pin to hold my bangs back. Tawni had her hair in a curly ponytail, and the two other bridesmaids each had their hair done in curls too. Tawni was the maid of honor, so she wore bright blue sandals with enormously tall heels, and carried a slightly different arrangement of flowers, that matched with her one-of-a-kind jeweled necklace.
"Ugh, don't even get me started, on these outfits, Sonny. Everyone is wearing the same thing as me, it's horrible!" she said, stamping her foot. "And my feet hurt," she whined, waving Chad out of his seat so she could sit. "Plus my date has the breath of an ogre and the dancing skills of Frankenstein," she confided to me. Chad overheard and snorted into his punch. I glared at him.
The DJ spared him from a lecture, though, when he turned on the music and introduced the bride and groom.
"Please join me in putting your hands together for Tami and Daniel Richards!" We all clapped, and I got up so Chad could sit in my seat, he was starting to get antsy. He put his arms around my waist and tugged me down on top of him. I snuggled into his warm embrace and ignored Tawni, who was doing a ferocious gagging impression that could have won her an Oscar.
Yeah, so I bet you are really confused right now. Long story short, I invited Nikki, Cam, and Daniel up to the So Random studio for a week a few months after I left New York with Chad. Tami was visiting her sister, and Daniel and her hit it off. They dated for a year, and then got married about an hour ago. Nikki is one of the bridesmaids, but is currently off ordering the caterers around, trying to get ready to cut the cake. Cam looked adorable as a ring bearer, but hey he now a spunky teenager at the ripe age of fifteen and did not look happy about it. Andrew was here too, somewhere, off with his now-steady girlfriend Monica, and the rest of my cast mates are here reeking havoc at the elderly table.
Chad pulled me up and out of my revere as we all crowded around the happy couple to watch their first dance.
After Tami and Daniel's first song, Chad pulled me in for a slow dance.
"You look beautiful," he whispered to me. I blushed.
"Thanks."
Someone tapped Chad's shoulder. "Can I cut in?" I looked up from Chad's shoulder. It was Daniel.
"Of course." Chad went away to dance with Tawni and Daniel put his arms around my waist.
"So, I told you things would never work out, and look, here we are at my wedding, proving my point." I shoved him a little.
"Shut up," I said, grinning. "We were never anything, and you should just admit that to yourself," I teased.
Daniel ignored me and was twirling me in a circle when I spotted him. I stumbled a bit, at the surprise of seeing him here, but looking back, I don't really know why. I mean, I should have expected to see him here, being Tami and Tawni's cousin and all.
Casey was dancing with a pretty blonde, her head resting on his shoulder.
I was swung back into Daniel, and I put my arms around his neck again. Casey's eyes met mine over Daniel's shoulder and the blonde's head. He smiled and nodded at me in recognition, and I did the same. All the anger and pain at me that I had assumed would stay in him forever was obviously gone. He had found someone else to mend his broken heart, just as I had taken comfort in Chad and Nikki to help mend mine. The song ended and I went to go sit down with Chad, setting my head against his chest and sighing deeply. I smiled to myself. Finally, everything was okay.
