The ceremony was absolutely beautiful, to say the least. I cried at the end, that is how beautiful it was. For something to make me, Sadie Kane, strongest woman in the world, (Carter just rolled his eyes) but seriously, the wedding was bloody beautiful. It was my favorite wedding to attend so far. Besides my own, of course.
Anyways, everyone was now gathered at the reception. It was held on top of the hotel's roof. It was pretty dark outside by now but the whole place was illuminated with white paper lanterns. The room, or roof, I should say, had a wooden dance floor in the middle (I would definitely be there later) and an open bar on the side(I already checked that out). There was one long round table circling the dancefloor with breaks every once 10 feet or so for people to get to the dancefloor, their seats, and the bar. I spotted Jaz across the room and went over to say hello.
When I was within earshot she said, "It was a beautiful ceremony right."
"Indubiously!" I said, emphasizing my british accent.
She laughed and said, "I saw you crying at the end."
"Yea, yea, I know, don't rub it in." She laughed again. Suddenly I felt strong protective arms around my waist. Walt, I thought to myself.
"Hey, I didn't get a chance to tell you until now, but, you look beautiful." He said in my ear.
I smiled, but my sarcasm got the better of me and I said, "Don't I always?" He chuckled and unwrapped one arm from around me and stood next to me.
Suddenly a voice came from over the loudspeakers. It was the DJ.
"Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you for the first, er, second time ever, Mr. and Mrs. Carter Kane!"
Zia and Carter emerged from the doors positively glowing, and I mean GLOWING with happiness. Carter led Zia to the dancefloor and a song came on that I recognized as "Amazed" by Lonestar. They both must have taken dance lessons because they were actually really good. Carter (The most awkward dancer in the world BTW) actually pulled off a lift and a few spins and twirls. And they were both all smiles the entire time.
What they didn't know, was that Jaz and I had a little surprise for them afterwards. When the song ended, everyone clapped and a few people whistled.
"Now?" Jaz whispered to me.
"Wait til after the toasts when they are back on the dancefloor." I whispered back.
Everyone took their seats around the table. Waiters dressed in white tuxedos with black bow ties came out and served us all salad and wine. (The wine was just for those of us 21 and older of course). Then Zia's uncle Zac stood up and tapped his knife against his wine glass three times and cleared his throat.
"Excuse me, I would like to make a toast." He said, and everyone shushed. "For those of you who don't know me, I am Zia's uncle Zac, and for the next few minutes I will be torturing my niece with embarrassing stories about her childhood and by telling her how much I love her." Everyone laughed. "I have known Zia since she was just a little baby in diapers Now some of you may be wondering why I call her poptart..." Zia groaned and buried her face in Carter's shoulder. "Well, when Zia was about four years old her favorite game was hide and seek. She did not however get the whole hiding part of the game. So whenever the seeker, me usually, would get within five feet of her hiding spot, she would pop out of her hiding spot and yell 'POP GOES THE WEASEL!' Everyone burst out laughing. Zia raised her head and smiled a bit but then facepalmed when Carter nudged her and laughed.
"Anyways, back to my toast. The point is, I have known my little poptart for a long time. And never in all this time I have known her, have I seen her as happy as she is with Carter. Although Abel was a close second." Zia rolled her eyes but couldn't hide an amused smile. Carter had a confused look on his face like 'who is this Abel guy and when can I beat him up?' Zac cleared his throat again and raised his glass. "To Zia and Carter. And to a happy healthy love-filled life."
"Cheers!" Everyone said in unison and clinked their glasses. Zac went to sit down again, but then thought of something else.
"And that they may have many beautiful, healthy, smart children." Everyone laughed as Carter and Zia turned beet red and Zia facepalmed again. Then Carter poked Zia and whispered something in her ear. It had to be something perverted because Zia's mouth immediately made a wide 'O' shape and she smacked Carter on the shoulder.
Next my dad toasted and told an embarrassing childhood story of Carter's when he forgot to wear pants to the first day of Kindergarten. If only they had caught that on video. Sad. After my dad came Walt and Julian, then Jaz and I. We all were kind enough not to make them turn beet red.
Finally, after we had all finished our dinner, it came time to cut the cake. Zia and Carter went traditional, and cut the first slice and shoved it in each other's faces. After all the traditional stuff was over, it was time to party! When Carter and Zia were on the dancefloor. Jaz and I planned our surprise.
"So when?" Jaz asked.
"When a good song comes on." I said back. Suddenly the song changed to Lady Gaga's "Poker Face".
"Now!" I said. Jaz went up to Zia and Carter and distracted them, then I came up from behind and said. "Hey Zia! There is something on your dress." Just as she turned around, I ripped off the bottom half of her dress, revealing a skin tight, sleeveless ivory dress that really showed off her long legs.
Carter wooted. Zia screeched and said, "Oh my gods Sadie. You are going to pay for this!" but I could tell she was trying not to smile.
I laughed and said, "Have fun!" Then Jaz and I ran off laughing. It was one of the best nights of my life, and definitely one of the most memorable.
At around 11:30 Zia and Carter left to go to their hotel room. But I stayed until 2 in the morning when I passed out on the dancefloor. It was a crazy night.
Sorry it was a little short but there is not much to do with Sadie's POV. I am not really good at writing her. Anyways, all the links to the wedding deets are on my profile, including dresses, songs, tuxes, and stuff like that, so if you want to see it, check it out. If not pleases REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW. I feel like no one is reading this cause I get no reviews so PLEASE REVIEW! Gracias! Adios!
