...Continued.
As Clarisse looked at Stephen she felt Joseph step closer to her, she turned slightly and looked at him then at the Officiant.
"Is there somewhere we could go and talk?" she asked
"Of course, you can use my office" he replied and watched her look back at Stephen
"Stephen?" Clarisse glared and started following the Officiant as Joseph grabbed her arm, she turned to him "Stay here, I will be back" she whispered while giving him her flowers to hold and hurried into the office followed by Stephen as whispers filled the Church.
After a few minutes Joseph sat on the steps behind him as Pierre moved sitting next to him, hearing Clarisse's raised voice as everyone looked towards the door.
She put her hands up either side of her face in anger "How could you come here and do this Stephen?" she snapped
"You know how I feel about him, I don't get how you can still go ahead with this marriage" he replied as she lowered her hands
"Because I love him" she snapped back "And want to spend the rest of my life with him, that's why" she looked at him as Pierre looked at Joe on the stairs "You have know right to come and ruin this for me" she turned her back to him while trying to stop herself from crying "I invited you because you're my brother" she slowly turned "And I wanted you here" she sighed "You know I was so excited when you came back into my life, but you've killed it" she folded her arms
"Clarisse please don't marry him today" he replied "You can do better" he pleaded while stepping closer to her "You can do SO much better than him"
Joseph looked at Pierre for a second hearing everything that was being said, then looked down while resting his arms on his legs. Sofia and Olivia moved over and sat beside them.
Clarisse moved and sat at the desk for a moment trying to calm down, then she turned and faced him as he looked at her.
"Why can't you see that I love him?" she whispered while standing back up
"Because I can't" he shook his head "I hate cheaters Clarisse and he will always be one, even if he just done it that once he has that cheater title now" he moved standing in front of her "Out of all the men you could marry, you want to marry him?" he sighed as she looked at him "You're a Queen you could have anyone you wanted"
She raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face "How dare you" she glared as he stepped closer and grabbed her arm "Get out, you're not welcome here anymore" she watched him look at her in shock "You may be 6 feet tall but you don't scare me" she yanked her arm free "GET OUT!" she snapped as he shook his head
"I'm not letting you make a mistake Clarisse" he shook his head
"The only mistake I've made was letting you come to our wedding" she snapped "GET OUT BEFORE I HAVE YOU THROWN OUT" she screamed at him as Paul and Shades rushed in
"I think you're making a huge mistake" he shook his head and walked out as everyone watched him walk down the aisle as Joseph, Pierre and the girls stood up. Stephen looked back at Joseph "I will be watching you" he glared at him as his wife and kids stood up
Clarisse came out a second later and walked over to Joseph and the girls.
"Are you ok?" Joseph asked as she took the flowers back
"I am" she nodded and looked at the Officiant "Please carry on" she nodded as everyone took their places again
"Are you sure?" Joseph asked as everyone looked at them stood before the Officiant
Clarisse stepped closer putting her free hand up cupping his face "I love you for all that you are, all that you have been and all you're yet to be" she smiled "And I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you and become Mrs Clarisse Romano again" she smiled with a nod
"Ok" he whispered and nodded back and looked at the Officiant "Please do carry on" he smirked looking back at Clarisse as she stood smiling at him
The service carried on, however when they got the rings Pierre dared to hand them over as Clarisse clapped eyes on them and gasped.
"She's gonna kill you dude" Pierre whispered in Joseph's ear as he stood smirking
"No she won't" he answered not taking his eyes of Clarisse
"These aren't the rings we picked together" she said looking at Joseph
"I took a chance, had them made just for us" he smirked while showing her
"Awww you actually had them made?" she asked while tilting her head a little
"I did" he nodded
"That is so sweet" she smiled at him
"Shall we carry on?" The Officiant asked as they both looked at him
"Oh" Clarisse laughed a little "Of course" she smiled with a nod "Sorry"
Pierre stood amazed that Joseph actually got away with it as the service carried on.
After a while the Officiant stood smiling "By the power vested in me by the State of Genovia, I now pronounce you husband and wife" he watched as Clarisse and Joseph looked at each other "You may now kiss your bride"
He and everyone else smiled as they stepped closer to each other, Joseph wrapped his arms around Clarisse's waist as she put her arms up, still holding onto the flowers, around his shoulders as they shared a slow, very heated kiss. Everyone in the Church stood cheering and applauded them as Clarisse moved her free hand onto the back of his neck.
"I present to you Mr. and " the Officiant smiled
After the dinner, speeches and some mingle time, Clarisse and Joseph prepared for their first dance together as a married couple. Paul was ready with the video camera and Shades, with everyone else were ready with the photo cameras, ready to capture the perfect dance.
As people gathered around the dance floor, the music started and everyone watched as they started dancing, not taking their eyes from one another. However after a couple lines to the song was played it started jumping as everyone stood confused and were taken aback when it suddenly changed to a different song then all looked amazed as Joseph and Clarisse changed the dance to salsa.
After the surprise of the song change everyone clapped them on as they danced around the dance floor, in perfect time and pace together to one of Clarisse's favorite songs by Celine Dion. At a certain point in the song Pierre, Sofia and Olivia all stood in shock as they watched Joseph stand directly behind Clarisse while holding onto her hands as she stepped back closer to him they swayed their hips to the right, then to the left, back to the right then back to the left and carried on with the dance.
Dipping her when it ended then kissed her while standing her back up straight, everyone going crazy around them as they made their way of the dance floor both trying to catch their breath and sat down at their table.
After a while Clarisse disappeared upstairs to get changed into her evening red knee length dress, checking on Ella while she was up there then left the baby sitter to it. She headed back down and into the reception and mingled a little more before returning to her table to find Sasha and Jason had arrived.
"Heeeey" Sasha exclaimed while jumping up and hugged her
"You made it?" Clarisse asked with a smile as they parted
"We did, sorry we are late though our flight got a bit delayed" she sighed while putting her arms up around Clarisse's shoulders "So glad you and Joe are married again" she smiled
"Thank you" Clarisse smiled with a nod as she put her hands on Sasha's sides "Have you had a drink?" she smirked teasing her
"Nope not yet" she smiled "Saving that for later with the best Aunt ever" she kissed her then stepped back
"Why oh why did you have to be family?" Jason smirked while standing next to Clarisse and put his arm around her shoulders
"So if we wasn't family you would of tried it on huh?" Clarisse smiled at him
"Yes I would" he laughed pulling her closer to him giving her a hug as she laughed "Congratulations though" he kissed her and smiled "Thanks for inviting us" he smirked
"Oh you're welcome" she smiled and kissed his cheek "Save a dance for me later" she patted his chest
"Oh I will don't you worry" he smiled and whispered something in her ear as Joseph appeared then dropped his arm as she lent over picking up her drink
"Joseph" Clarisse smiled "You may have a bit of competition" she giggled as he stepped closer to her "Good job he's family or you would of been worried" she giggled looking back at Jason
"Hey what can I say?" he said extending his arms either side of him "You are one lucky man Joseph" he smirked and shook his hand as Sasha dragged Clarisse off to the dance floor with Sofia and Olivia being joined by a couple of the other girls seconds later
Both Joseph and Jason stood watching them dance, then Jason realized who he was watching and turned quickly as Joseph laughed. After a few minutes Clarisse returned leaving them to it on the dance floor and stood next to Joseph, sipping some of her drink then stood talking to Hannah for a moment before feeling something touching her hand making her look down.
"Joseph" she smiled and let him take her hand "What's wrong?" she asked while watching him stand up
"I missed you, that's all" he said lowering himself a little while wrapping his arms around her waist "When are we going to have some us time" he smiled
"Soon" she smiled while putting her arms up around his neck while still holding the glass and started kissing him as he lowered his hands, groping her ass
A few seconds later, Hannah took the glass from Clarisse's hand and watched as she moved it up, placing it on the back of Joseph's head as they carried on kissing, Hannah chuckled while putting the glass down and moved sitting down at the table.
"Oh come on" Sofia exclaimed while patting Clarisse's back and lent closer to them "There is a time and place for that" She smiled as both Clarisse and Joseph looked at her "And it's not now, so save it for later" she smiled and sat at the table next to Hannah
"I think we've been told" Clarisse smiled, kissed him a couple times then moved back and sat down
Joseph sat down next to her and put his arm along the back of the chair as they whispered to each other. Not long after they played the Italian wedding song which had everyone up on the dance floor.
"My god, with that song and the salsa earlier my feet are killing me" Clarisse said while standing next to the table again as Joe stood behind her
"Why don't you take your shoes off then?" Joseph whispered in her ear while putting his hands on her hips
She turned her head a little while picking up her glass "I thought about it, but decided against it" she laughed as he tickled her, making her turn slightly while grabbing his hand
Joe kissed behind her ear and whispered "You're amazing" he smiled against her ear as she smiled at Sofia and Olivia dancing beside them to Twist and Shout, to which Joseph whispered "Come on, twist a little bit closer now, little bit closer and show the world your mine" while keeping his hands on her hips
To his surprise Clarisse pressed back against him and started moving her body to the rhythm of the music as he left his hands on her hips, she lent forward a little while putting her free hand up to her face, grinding back against him. Suddenly the girls noticed what was going on and stood in shock watching them as Clarisse slowly moved down his body while holding onto his hand and worked her way back up slowly.
He grabbed hold of her and turned her around, holding her close to him as she wrapped her arms around his neck, getting caught up in the moment completely forgetting where they were and stared into each others eyes as she pressed her body against his, dancing between his legs and moved her hips in circles, the whole time Joseph kept his hands on her sides.
When the song finished they realized the girls was stood watching them, Clarisse couldn't help but laugh with a blush as she turned the other way.
"Seriously, what just happened?" Sofia exclaimed
"I don't believe you just did that" Olivia added as Clarisse turned back and looked up at Joseph while laughing
"You seriously need your room" Sofia laughed and walked off with Olivia
"Oh dear" Clarisse smiled as Joseph lowered his head and kissed her neck, wrapping his arm around her waist
"I wouldn't worry, they know the deal by now" Joseph whispered and looked into her eyes "We are adults, we are in love and it is our wedding day" he smirked as she put her hand up and cupped his cheek while kissing him
After drying her hands, Clarisse decided to check her make up in mirror. When she was done she opened the door to find Joseph stood with his arm up, resting against the door frame.
"How long have you been stood there for?" she asked walking backwards as he walked in and shut the door, turning the lock as he turned around
"A few seconds" he smiled stepping closer and put his hands on her sides "Finally alone time" he chuckled
"Not very romantic though is it?" Clarisse asked while looking around then back up at him "We are in the downstairs loo remember?" she chuckled
"I don't care, we're still alone" he grinned and lowered his head, kissing her while keeping his eyes open and watched as she closed her eyes while tilting her head a little
While kissing her he walked her backwards, pressing her against the sink as she moaned. He quickly discarded her panties and lifted her onto the edge of the sink, stepping between her legs while kissing her she undone his belt and zipper, locking her legs around him as he stepped closer entering her as he did.
As he began thrusting making her moan, she lowered one of her hands down his back, groping his ass as he kissed her neck she tipped her head back, knocking something of the side as he started picking up pace not knowing someone was on the other side of the door.
"Sasha" Charlotte exclaimed while walking over "What are you doing?"
"I think someones in there doing it" she smirked at her
"Um..." Charlotte gasped "You do realize that is probably your Aunt?" Charlotte smirked at her as she looked back at her
"Ewww" she looked at the door and stepped back looking back at Charlotte "No I didn't" she shook her head as she walked off, Charlotte followed while laughing
A while later Clarisse returned to the party as Joseph went and got them drinks, then joined her back over at their table as Clarisse sat talking with Olivia. After a while and after a couple more glasses of champagne Clarisse was on the dance floor with the girls dancing to party songs, giving up after a while she walked back over putting her arms around Joseph's neck from behind as the conga started playing.
"I forgot to tell you" he said turning a little while kissing her arm "You look amazing"
"Thank you" she smiled and watched him stand up "You look amazing too" she smiled as she put her arms around his waist, kissing him
"I can't wait to get you alone again later" he whispered while putting one of his arms up around her neck, holding her close
"I can't wait either" she smirked up at him
He lowered his head and kissed her a few times then looked up as the conga line went past them, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw who was leading it.
"Alright" Clarisse stepped back after seeing Hannah leading it "How much has she had to drink?" she watched and couldn't help but laugh too
"Come on you" Jason smirked grabbing Clarisse's arm and pulled her into the line in front of him
Joseph laughed as he watched the line ago around the dance floor, then sat back down as the song changed knowing he had lost Clarisse again to Jason for a while he sat talking to Peter when Clarisse came back.
"That nephew of mine sure can dance" Clarisse laughed while standing next to Joseph and grabbed her glass "So can your Hannah, Peter" she smirked while turning around looking at them dancing "I left them all to it" she laughed looking back at Peter and sipped her champagne
"So can you" Joseph smirked up at her and watched as she slipped her shoes off kicking them under the table
"That's better" she smiled putting her glass back on the table and lent on it while rubbing the back of her heel with her other hand, then felt Joseph grab her around the waist and pull her onto his lap, she turned with a smile and shared a kiss while putting her arm around his shoulders.
A little while later they shared a couple slow dances together, other times she danced with her friends and the girls. By 2am most of the guests had left, only the ones staying at the Palace remained. Joseph watched as Clarisse stood at the bar, doing a couple shots with Amelia, Jason and Sasha.
"Oh my god" she exclaimed after downing another one and pulled a face as Sasha laughed while leaning in close to her, putting her arm around her waist "That is strong" she put the glass down "Give me another one"
"WOOO" Amelia, Sasha and Jason exclaimed
"You know Aunt Clarisse" Sasha started while moving her arm up and put it around her shoulders "You are the best" she nodded
"Someones drunk" Clarisse smiled
"And your not?" Amelia exclaimed
"I may be" Clarisse smiled "Ok, this shot is the last one" she picked up the glass "I have a night of passion ahead of me" she smirked as they laughed
"Good luck Uncle Joe" Jason laughed
"Ok" Clarisse smiled as they picked up their shots "On 3 ok?" they all nodded "1, 2, 3" they all downed their shots as Joseph slowly walked over "Right" Clarisse closed her eyes while putting her glass down "You can carry on, my bed is calling" she smiled while stepping back
"Have fuuuuuuun" Amelia teased while leaning on the bar and noticed Joseph stood watching them with a smirk "Good luck Grandpa" she smirked as Jason and Sasha turned
"See you tomorrow afternoon" Sasha laughed as Clarisse walked over to Joseph "Ooooh she's swaying her hips" they laughed as Clarisse looked towards them
She looked at Joseph as she took his hands "I'm sorry, I'm ready now" she smiled as he locked his fingers with hers "You didn't mind did you?" she whispered as he stepped closer
"No of course not" he smiled and kissed her
"Wooooo" Sasha exclaimed then laughed with the others
Clarisse laughed while looking over at them "Come on" she took his hand and led him from the room
They headed upstairs, starting to go towards their suite when Joseph stopped.
"What's wrong?" Clarisse looked back at him
"We aren't going to that suite" he smirked while scooping her up in his arms making her laugh "We are staying in one of the others tonight"
"Oh really?" she smiled putting her arm around his shoulders and kissed his neck
Moments later they had reached the suite they will be staying in, Clarisse opened the door and Joseph kicked it shut once inside, then headed over to the bedroom door, carrying her through and smiled as she gasped once she saw the room.
"Romantic enough for you?" he asked putting her down
"How did you do this?" Clarisse asked while turning around and looked up at him
"I didn't, Olivia, Sofia and Sasha did it" he smiled and pointed to the chest of drawers "We even have strawberries and champagne" he smiled at her
"Oh and there's me playing drinking games downstairs" she stepped closer to him putting her hands on his sides "I know tonight was going to be romantic, it is after all our wedding night" she kissed his jaw "I'm sorry I delayed it"
"Oh don't be" he put his arms around her shoulders "I don't mind, you was having fun and I love seeing you happy after everything that's happened" he looked into her eyes as she looked up "The night is young" he smirked "And it's ours" he kissed her neck as she giggled
"Indeed" she smiled
Finally their wedding night got underway, without any interruptions.
