Chapter 7
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you will please turn your attention to the back doors." The DJ announced. "I am proud to present to you, Mrs. Lily and Miley Truscott."
There was a roaring applause from the crowd as Lily and Miley entered the room. They made their way to the front of the room. When they reached the dance floor the DJ hushed the crowd. "Now the two brides will have their first dance."
Lily and Miley turned to face each other as the music started. Miley's arms were wrapped around Lily's neck and Lily's were wrapped around Miley's waist.
"You're in my arms and all the world is calm.
The music playing on, for only two.
So close to together, and when I'm with you, so close to feeling alive.
As life goes by romantic dreams will stop.
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew…
so close was waiting, waiting here with you and now forever I know…
all that I wanted to hold you so close.
So close to reaching that famous happy ending.
Almost believing this was all pretend.
Now you're beside me and look how far we've come.
So far we are so close. "
The song gave a musical interlude as the two women held each other closer. Now dancing more in a ballroom style. There were flashes from cameras, sobs heard from Mr. Truscott, and whispers about the love between the two heard throughout the room.
"Oh how could I face the faceless days if I should lose you now?
We're so close to reaching that famous happy ending.
Almost believing this was not pretend.
Let's go on dreaming, though we know we are…
So close. So close…
And still so far."
The song ended and the two shared a sweet, innocent kiss. The entire crowd cheered.
"Now that the two brides have danced with each other, it's time for them to dance with the only men who they will love for their entire lives. The father's would like to share a dance with their daughters." The DJ announced to the audience.
Mr. Truscott and Robbie made their ways to each of the girls as the music started.
"She spins and she sways to whatever song plays without a care in the world.
And I'm sittin' here wearin' the weight of the world on my shoulders.
It's been a long day and there's still work to do, she's pullin' at me sayin'
"Dad, I need you. There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited and I need to practice my dancin'. Oh please, daddy please."
So I will dance with Cinderella, while she is here in my arms.
Cause I know something the prince never knew.
I will dance with Cinderella. I don't want to miss even one song.
Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight and she'll be gone…"
Lily was slowly turning and whispering with her father while Miley's head was against Robbie's chest with eyes closed tightly. Robbie smiled as he kissed his daughter's head. In return, Miley started crying.
Robbie and Miley had always been close, but in this moment they felt closer than ever. Robbie was finally letting his little girl go into the world without him. He knew, however, that she was in the best hands. He could not have picked a better person for Miley than Lily. He looked at his new daughter-in-law dancing with her father and smiled. Lily caught his gaze and smiled back.
"Well she came home today with a ring on her hand.
Just glowing and telling us all they had planned.
She says, "Dad, the wedding's still six months away, but I need to practice my dancing. Oh please, daddy please."
So I will dance with Cinderella, while she is here in my arms.
Cause I know something the prince never knew.
I will dance with Cinderella. I don't want to miss even one song.
Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight and she'll be gone."
As the music faded Robbie leaned down and kissed Miley's head again. Mr. Truscott kissed Lily's cheek and started balling again. After one more look at her he whispered, "I love you Lily Bear." Lily started crying and replied, "I love you too dad."
After everyone made their way off the dance floor Lily and Miley took their seats at the head table with Oliver and Jackson. Soon the waiters started bringing out the meal. It was a three course meal. A house salad, then filet minion with a side of carrots, red potatoes, and a roll, for dessert it was Lily's favorite- cream puffs on top of a vanilla pudding.
*ting, ting, ting*
The sound of a knife clinking the side of a champagne flute was heard. Both girls looked up and to their surprise saw Jackson standing.
"Hey everyone, I first want to thank you for joining us here to celebrate the marriage of two of the most wonderful young women I have ever had the pleasure of knowing."
Jackson looked at the brides and saw the look of shock on their faces. So, he turned to face them. "I know that growing up I was a jerk. I was annoying and a little crazy, but honestly, think of how normal I would be if I didn't have you two." The crowd laughed.
"I have watched you two grow from friends, to best friends, to girlfriends, to wives, and I could not be happier for both of you. Both of you have had a lot of pain and sorrow in your lives, you also had a lot of happiness. It never mattered what the situation was you both were there for each other and I learned a long time ago that you were the source of each other's happiness. When Miley and I first moved to Malibu, we were trying to move on with our lives after the loss of our mother." Jackson's voice broke.
He was beginning to cry silently. Suddenly he felt a hand in his own. He looked down to see it was Miley's. She was crying as well, but she smiled a reassuring smile and gestured for him to continue.
"When we moved here we all were starting new. We didn't know how people there would see us or what they would think of us, but we had no idea what we were in for when we met Lily. Lily, I didn't know that when I first met you I would end up loving you like my own sister. You made my sister happy again. Thank you for that. You are the best person my sister could have ever married."
He then paused and turned to Miley. "Hey, sis." He smiled at her.
"Hey, bro." She returned.
"You have always gotten everything you wanted..." He started. She got that look on her face as if she didn't know what he was talking about. "…but I think that you deserve this. You deserve to be happy. It is obvious that Lily makes you happy. I could not be any prouder to call you my sister. I love you."
With that he sat down. Miley leaned in and hugged him tightly. "Thank you Jackson. You really are the best. I love you too, big brother."
Next Oliver stood up. "Excuse me. I have a little something to say, not as much as Jackson, but still a little something. Lily and Miley have been my best friends for years. I have never seen both of them as happy as they are then when they are together. I just want to say good luck. So, if everyone will raise their glasses. Here is to Lily and Miley. May they grow old together sharing the same pillow."
Many people cheered as others let out a 'hear, hear'. Both girls stood and hugged Oliver.
While they were socializing Lily heard a song start playing and grabbed her wife to drag her on the dance floor.
"It's you and me moving at the speed of light into eternity.
Tonight is the night, so join me in the middle of ecstasy."
The two held each other close and got lost in the music. They danced the night away falling more and more in love with each other.
