Chapter 5

After the first dance was over, it was time for the next event--the cutting of the cake. Andrew and Margaret walked over, hand in hand, and prepared

to do the honors. She stood in front, holding onto the knife with her both hands, and he stood right behind her with his hands on top of hers.

"Well, I guess we both know what has to happen next"Andrew said, as soon as the first piece had been cut.

"Yeah, I guess you're right" Margaret replied.

Andrew picked up the plate, cut off a smile bite, and gingerly fed it to Margaret. Margaret, in turn, did the same for him. They both couldn't

help but smile and laugh a little when, while this was going on, all the guests starting saying "awwww".

After the rest of the cake had been cut, and all the guests had been served, it was then time for the throwing of the bouquet.

"All-right now, all the women, get behind me" Margaret said, and with that, she turned her back to them, and tossed the bouquet in the air.

She turned around just quickly enough to see it land in the hands of non other than Andrew's ex, and her now good friend, Gertrude.

This worked out well, of course, since she was in a rather serious, committed relationship. She smiled at Margaret, and Margaret smiled back,

mouthing the words "You deserve it".

The throwing of the bouquet officially marked the end of the reception. Andrew and Margaret said goodbye to all their guests, hugged, kissed,

and said goodbye to Joe, Grace, and Grandma Annie, got in their car, and headed off to his parents house (where they had been

staying just before the wedding) to pack. The next day, they would be leaving for their honeymoon--3 weeks in paradise. That's right--the newlyweds

were headed to none other than the Bahamas.

Note: Sorry this chapter is so short. I promise I'll make all the other ones longer.
