Chapter 15: The Rehearsal Dinner
St. Anthony's Church, Angel Grove
June 5, 2002
3 pm
Jason and the guys were waiting outside the church for Tommy to show up. The girls were already inside.
"20 bucks he doesn't show," Rocky said.
"I'm not betting on that, Rocky. He'll show up, he has to," Jason said.
"What if he doesn't?" Rocky asked.
"Then he'll have quite a few angry women to deal with, not to mention me," Jason said as Tommy pulled up in his jeep and got out.
"You're late," Jason said.
"Just by one minute," Tommy said.
"Just get inside. You don't want to keep the girls waiting," Jason said.
"Right," Tommy said as he went inside the church and was met by a chorus of "Finally's" and "Where have you been's?"
"Sucks to be Tommy right now," Adam said.
"Yeah. We better get inside ourselves or we'll be next on the chopping block," Jason said as the guys went inside.
The Vineyard, Angel Grove
5 pm
After the rehearsal was over the wedding party and close family and friends gathered at a local fine dining restaurant called The Vineyard for dinner and drinks. After the gang got a few drinks in them they started having a lively conversation.
"So, who do you think out of the four of them is going to get pregnant first?" Aisha asked the girls at the table.
"You want my honest opinion?" Trini asked.
"Yes," Aisha said.
"It's going to be Carrie and Rocky because they can't keep their hands off of each other," Trini said as Kim came back from the bathroom.
"What are you girls talking about?" Kim asked.
"Aisha's wondering who is going to get pregnant first and Trini thinks it's me and Rocky," Carrie said.
"She's right, it's definitely going to be you two, because me and Tommy are too busy chasing around after the twins to get even a moment together," Kim said.
"So, you and Tommy aren't having sex, at all?" Aisha asked.
"To be honest, no," Kim said.
"Wow. Really?" Carrie asked.
"Really," Kim said.
"So, are you going to do it on your honeymoon?" Tanya asked.
"Hopefully, but I have a gut feeling that it's going to get interrupted," Kim said.
"By who?" Carrie asked.
"By the next alien invasion of Earth," Kim said.
"I'm sure that's not going to happen," Tanya said.
"Oh, it will happen, it always does," Kim said.
"Don't worry about it, Kim. I'm sure everything's going to be fine," Aisha said.
"I'll believe it when pigs fly," Kim said as she sat back down and sipped on her wine.
Meanwhile, at the guys end of the table Tommy and the rest of the guys were having a lively conversation of their own.
"So, I think, in my honest opinion, that me and Carrie are going to have a kid first," Rocky said, drinking his beer.
"How do you know?" Adam said.
"I just do."
"Yeah, Rocky's right. Me and Kim don't ever get a night to ourselves, what with chasing after the twins and all," Tommy said.
"What happened to the night that your Mom was going to babysit so you and Kim could have a night to yourselves?" Jason asked.
"We were so busy keeping up with the twins during the day that after dropping off the twins at my parents' house, we got home and crashed we were so tired."
"So, you and Kim haven't been getting any, at all?" Rocky asked.
"Honestly? No," Tommy said.
"So, are you going to finally get some on your honeymoon?" Jason asked.
"Maybe, but I have a gut feeling we won't get a chance."
"Why?"
"Can't say. Maybe it's the next alien invasion of Earth that's going to happen, who knows?" Tommy said, sipping his beer.
"That's funny, because I heard Kim tell Trini that she's having that same feeling," Jason said.
"Well, we do think alike," Tommy said.
"Let's change the subject, shall we? Is anybody going to ask what I did this afternoon at about 1:30?" Adam said speaking up.
"Yeah, what did you do at 1:30 in the afternoon, Froggy?" Rocky asked.
"I proposed to Tanya, and she said yes," Adam said.
"No way! Really?! That's awesome dude! Congratulations!" Rocky said giving his best friend a slap on the back.
"Took you long enough," Jason said.
"The first time I proposed was sophomore year in college and she wasn't ready yet, but this time she's as ready as she'll ever be. We're planning on getting married at the courthouse. Just a small ceremony, nothing fancy. Tanya doesn't want a huge wedding. We don't want all the stress of planning a wedding," Adam said.
"Well, good for you, Adam. I'm sure you two will be happy no matter what," Tommy said.
"Thanks, Tommy," Adam said.
Then Tanya came over.
"So, I'm sure Adam has told you guys our news," Tanya said.
"Yeah he has. Show us the ring, Tanya," Rocky said as Tanya held out her left hand. A shiny diamond ring was on her ring finger. The guys whistled.
"Adam's got good taste in engagement rings, look at that rock!" Rocky said.
"It's a 3-carat diamond ring. He won't tell me how much he got it for, of course," Tanya said.
Adam blushed.
Meanwhile, while Tanya was over with the guys showing off her ring, the girls continued their conversation.
"Guess who's getting married next?" Aisha asked.
"Who?" Kim, Trini, and Carrie asked in unison.
"Tanya and Adam, that's who," Aisha said.
"Really?! When did he propose?" Kim asked.
"This afternoon," Aisha said.
"Wait, didn't he propose to her in college? What happened then?" Carrie asked.
"She wasn't ready to commit yet, but from the sounds of it she's ready. Their getting married at the courthouse in a couple of months. Tanya's not the one to fuss around with wedding plans and Adam couldn't care less. They want a small, simple ceremony, nothing fancy," Aisha said.
"Well good for them. It's about time," Trini said as Tanya came over and sat down next to Aisha.
"What're you girls talking about?" Tanya asked.
"Just about a certain someone getting married in a couple of months," Aisha said.
"Oh, you mean Adam and me? Yes, but don't make it a big deal. We don't want any fuss," Tanya said.
"If you say so. But at least show us the ring," Kim said.
"Oh, fine. Here you go," Tanya sighed as she held out her left hand, so the girls could see the ring. They all whistled.
"Ooh, girl, he sure knows how to pick out an engagement ring! Look at that rock!" Aisha said, admiring the ring.
"He outdid Rocky and Tommy. He sure knows his stuff!" Carrie said.
"So, Trini, when will we see a rock on your finger?" Kim asked.
"Soon, I hope," Trini said as she took a sip of her wine.
