I don't own Austin & Ally
"Ella, you look adorable" Maddie said as she walked in the dressing room the day of Trish and Dez's wedding. Trish had finally found the perfect dress when she and the girls went shopping again the day after their first attempt. This time they had a professional's help though. It turns out, Tori was hired there because she had a degree in planning weddings. Trish had explained that she wanted light blue and silver as the colors of the wedding, white roses for the flowers, and the bridesmaids' dresses to be light blue as well.*
"Thanks Maddie, you do too" she said as they both spun around in their beautiful light blue dresses. Ella loved seeing how they flowed around their bodies when they twirled around in them.
"Alright girls, enough twirling. Maddie, you need to get in there and help Trish with her makeup while we go check on the boys. Also, make sure Kelsey and Alyssa are getting ready please. I got Emma in her dress at home and I think she and Bri are in the back room with Grandma Karen and Grandma Mimi" Ally said finishing up her own hair and makeup as she talked.
"Oh, I told Ella I'd do her makeup too" Maddie said beginning to panic.
"I already did it myself" Ella said proudly. Both women in the room turned to the six year old with wide eyes. "Maddie taught me how to when we did that fashion show. She showed me how to match it with your clothes. Do I look pretty Mommy?"
"You sure do" Ally said in astonishment. "You did a good job at keeping it light and pretty."
"Yay! I thought I messed it up the first five times I tried this morning before you and Daddy woke up so I had to keep washing my face" she said making the other two laugh. That made more sense, but she did do a very good job the sixth time for someone so young…also for someone who didn't really need makeup yet. Luckily they weren't the type of parents who forbid makeup until a certain age.
"Come on kiddo, we gotta go check on the groomsmen. I'm sure Daddy's trying to fix what Dez messed up, but I don't think anyone's there to fix what Daddy messes up" Ally said laughing as the two of them went to the boy's dressing room, leaving Maddie to handle two teenage girls and Trish's makeup.
"Everyone dressed…or at least decent?" Ally asked as she knocked on the door.
"Yeah Als, come on in" Austin yelled.
"Well don't you all look handsome" Ally said looking at the line of groomsmen. "And Evan, that's just the cutest little suit" she said as she picked up her baby boy who was wearing a white onesie with a suit matching the colors of the groomsmen painted on it*. Emma had on a real dress, but Evan was one who couldn't be still to save his little life and Trish thought the onesie was adorable anyway.
"Hey there Sunshine; don't you look pretty" Austin said as his wife gushed over their baby boy. "You're gonna be a gorgeous flower girl once again"
"Thanks Daddy, but so will Emma and Bri" Ella said smiling.
"Oh of course" Austin said chuckling. "Speaking of, where are the other two flower girls?"
"Playing with their grandmothers" Ally said from where she still held their baby boy. Of course, now she was holding him on her hip while she started inspecting all the guys' suits to make sure they put them on correctly. "Porter-good; Daddy-good; Dez…where's Dez?"
"I'm here! Don't get married without me!" they heard someone yell from outside. Dez suddenly burst through the door panting.
"Where did you go?" Ally asked in bewilderment.
"Oh, I went to the bathroom. I thought you were asking where I was because the wedding had already started" Dez shrugged as he walked over to Ally smiling sheepishly. "Hey sis"
"Hey bro-awe man, your clothes are all messed up. Your tie's crooked, your pants are on backwards, your jacket's inside-out, and you aren't even wearing your shirt! Get in there right now and let me fix you" Ally said exasperated. "Here Austin, take your son. What kind of grown man can't even put on his clothes" she was muttering as she dragged a pouting Dez into the next room.
"Daddy, where's Toby? He'll have to make it through Mommy's crazy suit checking too" Ella said. Austin laughed.
"Here I am" Toby said coming out of the room from the side. Ella put her hands on her hips at the sight.
"Goodness, make me turn into Mommy. His tie is all wrong" Ela said as she walked over and tried to fix it. "Can't take you anywhere"
"I can't help it. It ain't like I know how to do a tie the right way" Toby defended as he squirmed under Ella's grasp around the choking device on his neck.
"Urg! Mommy, come fix this!" Ella yelled.
"Hang on baby!" Ally yelled back as she fumbled with the buttons on Dez's vest. The man was almost incompetent.
"Mommy! Please hurry. Toby's tie needs fixed and you know how to do it right!" Ella called back to her mother. She refused to let any of the other guys do it. It had to be her Mommy.
"I'm here. Austin, I'm fixing your tie next" Ally said in an urgent voice as she hurriedly fixed Toby's tie. "There you go sweetie. Come here Austin, I told you that you're next. Come on! The wedding will start any minute!"
"That's better" Ella said with a satisfied smile as she looked at Toby. She touched his tie and brought her hand back down. "Now do you know where the rings are? Long story short, I was the flower girl and the unofficial ring bearer at Mommy and Daddy's wedding. Uncle Dez forgot, so I'm making sure you don't. Evan's too young to remember aren't you Evan?" Ella said, saying the last part in a baby voice as she spotted her baby brother playing on a blanket on the floor. Toby bent down beside her, smiling as he started playing with the baby too.
"Don't worry Ells, I got the rings on a pillow right on the desk by the door. That's my only job besides staying with this little guy" he said tickling Evan's tummy making him giggle hysterically. Ella smiled.
"Good, I don't want to have to chase you down when I'm supposed to be on the other side of the aisle with Bri and Emma" she said laughing.
"Where are they anyways?" Toby asked. Ella shrugged.
"I don't know. Last time I saw them they were playing with Grandma and Aunt Karen" Ella said.
"You think Lys and Kels are sad they don't got nobody to walk down the aisle with? We all got somebody 'cept them and Bri. Bri's little so she don't know, but they're older. Would they be sad?" Toby asked. He didn't want his big sisters to be sad for not having a date to the wedding they had to be in.
"Oh, I asked them why they weren't going with anyone and they said they don't need anyone to be happy. They're best friends like we are so they have each other" Ella explained.
"But would one of them be on the other side with us guys? Won't there be too many girls?" Toby asked confusedly. Ella shrugged.
"They were both planning on being on our side. I don't know how that'll work" she said.
"Come on, let's go ask your uncle Dez" Toy said as they both got up and ran to Dez who was finally dressed appropriately.
"Uncle Dez, there's too many girls and not enough boys. Who's going to stand on your side?" Ella asked.
"Hmm, go get Maddie kiddo" Dez said. Ella nodded and grabbed Toby's hand as they both ran down the hallway to get to Maddie.
"Maddie, Uncle Dez wants you right now" Ella said.
"What's wrong?" Trish asked immediately.
"Nothing, he just wants to talk to her about something real quick" Ella assured her aunt who gets worried over absolutely nothing.
"Alright, I'll be right back Trish. Uh, girls can you take over for a bit?" Maddie asked. Alyssa and Kelsey nodded and practically pounced at the chance to do the bride's makeup for her wedding the perfect way.
"We got her" Ella said as she and Toby drug Maddie in the boy's room by the arm.
"Good. Maddie, will you please stand on the guys' side when you walk down the aisle? We have too many girls and not enough boys" Dez asked.
"Where's Aiden?" Maddie smirked. With Bri being the one extra girl, all they'd have to do was let Alyssa go to the boys' side and stand by her brother. Aiden could stand at the end and be Bri's 'date' so-to-speak. Of course ten year's difference since he was now eleven and Bri was one was a lot, it still worked out in the planning.
"I'll find him" Ella declared as she walked out of the room. She knew that church inside and out so everyone trusted her enough to go by herself; that, of course, didn't mean Toby wasn't about to follow.
"Where do you think he is?" Toby asked as he caught up with his best friend.
"You know where the children's church room is?" Ella asked. Toby nodded. "I bet he's there"
And sure enough, there Aden was found, surrounded by three other elven year old girls whose parents were invited to the wedding. Two of them were actually related to Trish. The other one was an old neighbor's daughter.
"Aiden! Get your butt upstairs before your sister has you head!" Ella exclaimed.
"Hang on kid" Aiden said dismissively. "Brittney, you said those last two numbers were what now?"
"Here" said girl told him as she wrote her phone number on his arm. Ella rolled her eyes while Toby laughed.
"And here's mine" another giggly girl said as she handed him a napkin. Aiden flashed her a smile before he stuffed it in the pocket of his suit.
"And you?" he asked looking towards the third and final girl who had her arms crossed over her chest defensively.
"Dream on lover boy" she said rolling her eyes. Ella smiled.
"Now you, I like. You must be the smart one" she said. The girl smiled.
"You must be the famous Ella my big sister told me all about the other day. My name's Terra" she said smiling. Ella shook her hand and introduced her to Toby.
"Well, how about you get the uh, mini player over there to the wedding party and I'll talk to you two later" Terra said. Both six year olds laughed but nodded as the smart one of the three girls, and apparently Tori's little sister, left the room.
"Alright, Brittney, Blondie; you two bozos up and out. Player boy has a wedding to get to. I don't bite, but Toby makes no promises. Also, I would love to wipe those fake smiles off your faces, but that'd be mean. Now out before we have to force you out" Ella demanded.
"What is wrong with your little sister?" the one who never mentioned her name said turning her nose up in disgust. "She's such a little brat"
"Hey! No one calls her that!" Toby exclaimed hugging his best friend. The girl just rolled her eyes and turned back towards Aiden.
"And the boy thinks he's oh so tough. I bet they are such a bore" the one named Brittney said.
"Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna need this" Aiden said ripping up the paper in his pocket. Ella smiled. "Or this" he said marking through the number written on his arm.
"Awe, Aiden come on. They're just little kids. Sure they're cute, but do you really want to waste a date with girls like us over them? We're on the cheer squad and-"
"Just shut up Tiffany" Aiden said cutting her off. So the blonde one's name was Tiffany. "She isn't my sister by birth, but that doesn't matter. Just leave."
"Whatever" one grumbled as both girls walked out of the room complaining on how all the hot guys either are too soft or too stupid.
"Thanks player" Ella said giggling. Aiden rolled his eyes but threw his arm around the little girl he'd grown to love over the last year. He then pulled Toby to his side as they all walked upstairs.
They past Terra again on the way to the room and Ella smiled before giving her a thumbs up. Terra laughed but returned the gesture of the younger girl. "What is on your arm!? Oh, this better be washable!" a voice boomed from the room the three kids had just entered. Terra laughed to herself.
"What are you laughing at?" Tori asked from beside her.
"That kid is such a player. I don't expect him to change in time. Remind me never to fall for a guy like him" she said making her sister laugh.
"I'll remember that"
"Tori, please help. My hair won't fix!" Trish yelled from in the room the two were standing outside.
"Duty calls" Tori laughed as she and Terra rushed in to handle the frizzy disaster. Apparently Trish had used the wrong conditioner that morning.
"What happened?" Ally asked with wide eyes when she reentered the girls' dressing room. She left Austin to handle all the kids while Maddie fixed Porter's hair she claimed was 'unruly' and 'the wrong kind of messy'. Also, Dez said he had some last minute director stuff to do, whatever that means.
"My hair is World War II" Trish said, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. "I don't think I can get married" she continued in a squeakier voice. She leaned in to hug Ally who wrapped her arms around her best friend.
"Can you guys excuse us for a second?" Ally whispered to the remaining few in the room. Tori, Terra, Alyssa, and Kelsey all nodded understandingly and walked out of the room.
"Trish, look at me" Ally instructed. Trish just shook her head. She hated feeling weak, but she hated even more letting her face show when she was. "Patricia Delarosa, I said look at me! Pick your head up before you mess up your dress and makeup too!"
"That's way too late Als" Trish said as she picked her head up. Her face was smeared with mascara, her hair all over the place no matter how hard the girls had tried to fix it, and her dress was in more ruffles than she had bought it with.
"Trish, what's really bothering you? You know your hair, face, and even your dress can all be fixed up in no time. Nothing's impossible to fix. Something else it up" Ally said. She knew her best friend better than she knew anyone else in the world. Trish is the only one who ever stuck by from day one so they just naturally got each other.
"Ally, I'm getting married. I'm a mother. Dez and I signed the papers six months ago. I just-I don't want to live in fear of divorce" Trish admitted. Ally just smiled sympathetically.
"Trish, this is just pre-wedding jitters. I had them, and believe it or not, Austin had them too" Ally said. Trish laughed.
"Dez said he cried!" she said laughing. Ally smiled at her friend beginning to feel better before frowning at her words.
"What do you mean he cried?"
"About Ella" Trish said laughing even harder at Ally's face. "Dez said Dr. Murphy said something about when Maddie gets married and leaves, and Austin literally started balling, saying he didn't want her to leave, but he was talking about Ella! He was crying because he didn't want Ella leaving, and this was on y'all's wedding day when she was five"
"Well, not all wedding jitters come in the same way" Ally said shaking her head at her best friend-and her husband. "Austin chose to think way off into the future, I was thinking I wasn't good enough for him, and you're sitting here worrying about divorce. Don't you live with the same fear of a breakup?"
"Well yeah, but people get over a breakup. Divorce is a sin Ally. Breaking a major promise to God" Trish said with tears in her eyes.
"Trish, honey, don't worry about that. You know how much Dez loves you. I have never seen him a bigger wreck than when you went missing. Actually, scratch that. He was a major wreck then, but Trish, he said to me on more than one occasion that he will never get the sight of that gun…I'm sorry; I can't even say it" Ally said grabbing her own tissue. "Anyway, you know what I'm talking about. No need reliving it ourselves. He said that was the absolute worst moment of his life. The poor guy said all he wanted was to trade places with you. Well, he really just wanted you safe in his arms, but if anything, he wished it to be him instead. Even as a kid, when we were beaten half to death, he was never more miserable than when he thought he was going to lose you forever. Trish, he's been in love with you since we were kids too. I remember the first day of school, when we got back to the orphanage all he could say was 'Who was that pretty curly haired short girl you were talking to?' Trish, he was the one who kept begging to meet you. As much as I wanted to meet Austin back then, he wanted to meet you so much more"
"Really? He said all of that?" Trish asked. Ally nodded with a smile. They were both crying now, but smiling none-the-less.
"He did. That boy loves you more than anything or anyone in this world. Of course, I'm sure Bri's pretty high up on that scale too" Ally said making Trish laugh a little through her sobs. "Really Trish, do you want that little girl to be confused about having to go back and forth her whole life between your houses? Do you want to break Dez's heart by saying you can't marry him because you're scared? Honey, I know Dez may be crazy sometimes-okay, most the time-but he loves you. It will truly crush him if that happens. He's been looking forward to this wedding for so long. For goodness sakes, he made my six year old daughter plan the whole date for your proposal because he wanted it to be perfect. He adopted his sister and let you do it as well because he loves you both so much and wanted you to be a family together. That's all he ever wanted. You know the boy has never lived alone. He wants family. He went from living with me at the orphanage, to living with Austin, then Maddie, and now he wants to live with you and Bri forever. He found the people he never wants to leave. Don't take that away from him." Ally said. She was only saying so much for Trish's sake.
"You know what, I can do this. Ally, when'd you get to be so smart?" Trish asked teasingly.
"Smart? Me? You trippin'" Ally said making Trish laugh even more. "Now come on. I may not be a fashion guru, but I do know a few things about hair and makeup. And the dress, honey it couldn't look cuter with that many ruffles"
"Thanks Ally, you're really my best friend ever and-oh goodness! Fix me please!" Trish exclaimed when she saw her reflection in the mirror. Ally laughed and began fixing her best friend's appearance as best as she could.
"Als, you guys done in here? The girls are already standing out there and-Oh, you two look gorgeous" Austin said when he walked in the dressing room. Ally had managed to tame Trish's hair and pull it back into a cute ponytail/up-do. Her makeup was freshly redone also with no trace of tears.
"Thanks Austin. Is-Is Dez alright?" Trish asked, still a bit nervous. Austin smiled and looked at Ally who was biting her lip. She had also redone her own makeup from her emotional breakdown from those stories as well.
"Dez; he's fine. You know that smile that's actually kind of creepy, even though he doesn't realize it, that means he's really happy?" Austin asked. Trish nodded with a small laugh at her fiancé's craziness. "Imagine that but about a hundred times worse. I think he's scaring the kids. Well-except Ella. Maybe Toby. He looked a little freaked out about it too, but he and Ella were out there waiting for their turn while laughing their heads off. He can't wait to marry you"
"Awe! Well I have to get out there now!" Trish exclaimed as she rushed out of the room.
"Dang Austin, you should've been here when I had to give the super long pep talk about her being scared of divorce!" Ally exclaimed. Austin pulled her closer to him and kissed her head.
"I got pictures; we're all good" he said making her laugh. "You know, the last wedding we went to was ours"
"Who would've thought someone's wedding could actually be crazier than ours?" Ally asked with a smile. Austin laughed.
"I know right!? But ours will always top the charts in my opinion as the best…don't tell Trish" Austin said smiling. Ally smiled back and leaned up to give him a quick kiss on the lips.
"Me too"
"Mommy, Daddy, get yourselves out here now! The wedding's starting and you two are the best man and matron of honor!" Ella whisper/yelled from the door. Ally laughed a little as Austin swooped the little girl up in his arms.
"Oh Sunshine, let's get those two married" Austin said kissing her little cheek. Ella giggled.
"Two down, one to go" she said cutely. Austin's smile faltered a little.
"Don't start that mission for a long time Sunshine" he said as they made it to their starting positions and he sat her down. Ella laughed but didn't say anything. Plans were already in commence for that a long time ago so there was nothing he could do about it.
Dez took his place at the end of the aisle with the preacher as Austin and Ally took their spots at the front of the line. Maddie and Porter lined up directly behind them followed by Alyssa and Kelsey. Aiden had Bri in his arms while she had a little basket full of flowers from right behind the girls. Ella and Toby held the back spot next to each other and behind the twins' two strollers. They were pushing the strollers beside each other while on Toby and Evan's had the pillow with the rings were held, and on Ella and Emma's there was another little basket of flowers which Ella used to throw the flowers with. She'd already given both Emma and Evan (she felt bad he didn't have any) some flowers to hold, but neither of them ever let go of them.
Once the music started, they all began to walk. Austin and Ally parted at the end with a quick kiss. Porter and Maddie followed in suit, also sharing a kiss. Alyssa and Kelsey were next and when Alyssa went to the boys' side rather than the girls, she got up on her toes to kiss her brother's cheek. The photographer and videographer were having a good time with all of this.
As Aiden came down the aisle with Bri perched on his hip, she threw her flowers almost all at once before duping the remaining few over his head. Dez laughed from the end of the aisle (as did most the guests) and Aiden just kissed her little cheek before passing her to Maddie and walking back over to the guys' side. Dez smiled at his daughter and waved teasingly. Bri giggled and buried her little head in Maddie's shoulder.
"Quit teasing that baby" she whispered with a laugh. Dez just smiled sheepishly.
"Flower!" Bri babbled as she pointed to the end of the aisle. Everyone smiled at the adorable little one year old before turning toward the remaining four children about to walk down the aisle themselves.
"What's the point of this?" Toby whispered as they started walking. He was smiling so he said it through his teeth.
Ella did the same smiling while throwing the flowers and said, "Shut up and just go with it." Toby pouted a little but kept quiet…for about five seconds. He had to talk or he would be bouncing off the walls.
"Your dress is pretty" he said. It was the first thing that came to his mind, and it was true. He couldn't lie that she looked nice.
"Thanks Toby. You look nice too" Ella whispered back just as they reached the end of the aisle. She bit her lip but leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Now stay quiet over there"
"Uh, a-alright" Toby stuttered. He looked over to Aiden who held his hand up to his mouth, telling him to kiss Ella's hand. He turned to her just as she was about to walk to her respective side and grabbed her hand. "See you later" he whispered and kissed her hand.
Ella's face flushed. She knew it was a risk to kiss his cheek, but she'd seen friends do that before on TV and in person. She saw Maddie do it to her brothers. It was no big deal. She didn't really expect him to kiss her back, on the hand of course, but that wasn't a big deal either right?
"Oh I can so see you as a sister-in-law" Kelsey whispered excitedly from beside Ella when she took her place. Ella blushed (though she didn't know why) and looked away while biting her bottom lip once again.
"Shut up; what you wanna bet you marry Mr. Tennessee?" Ella smirked. Kelsey's eyes widened and she blushed even deeper than Ella. The six year old knew she had her right there.
Suddenly the music changed to 'The march of the bride' song and everyone who wasn't already standing stood and turned towards the doorway just as the doors opened to reveal Trish and her father. And cue Dez's extra creepy smile. Trish laughed from the end of the aisle though she was trying hard not to cry again.
"You ready sweetheart?" Roberto asked before they started walking. Trish turned to him with the tears already threatening to spill but nodded. "Alright, let's go then" he said kissing the top of her head.
"Who gives this woman?" the preacher asked when they made it all the way down the aisle.
"Her mother and I do" Roberto said. Trish leaned up and kissed his cheek before her father took his seat and she took her place up in front of a still smiling Dez. Ally was already crying from right beside her one step down. She started tearing up when Aiden came down with Bri, but she really lost it when she looked towards her three kids and Toby at the end of the aisle. Seeing how her oldest daughter kissed her best friend's cheek and he kissed her hand, she couldn't control herself, so by the time Trish was there she was a wreck.
"Ally, don't make me lose it too" Trish whispered with a small laugh that could be confused with a small sob. Ally covered her mouth with her hand before patting Trish's shoulder for comfort as she turned to her future husband.
"Y-You look so beautiful" Dez said, but he didn't exactly get the memo on whispering, because the whole church heard him say that. They all laughed, including Trish.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the sight of God to witness the union of this man and this woman. Should anyone see any reason to object speak now or forever hold your peace" the preacher said. He really didn't have to read it anymore. He'd preformed and been to so many weddings that it all was stuck in his brain and all he had to know was the people's names.
"Why would they?" Dez asked, again making everyone laugh.
"Uncle Dez! You only talk if you don't want to get married!" Ella whisper/yelled from where she stood. Dez's eye widened and he immediately shut up, pretending to zip his lips as a symbol he really wanted to be married.
"So, no one?" the preacher asked.
"No one objects! Get on with it!" Trish snapped then bit her lip. "Sorry, continue please"
"Then let's continue by all means" the preacher said with a chuckle. He went on by giving the sermon about marriage on Matthew 19 of the New Testament. ""Haven't you read the Scriptures?" Jesus replied. "They record that from the beginning 'God made them male and female.' "And he said, " 'This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.' Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.**""
And he went on to explain the whole scripture of marriage and divorce and Trish slowly started feeling all the more better about her irrational fears of divorce in the future. She still had her small fears having not completed the ceremony yet, but she was starting to feel more at ease with the situation. Also, with everything Austin and Ally had told her, Dez really did care about her. That concept was hard for her to accept. She wasn't used to someone (other than her parents) telling her that she meant that much to them. Well, maybe Ally, but under the circumstances, she'd probably be attached to her anyway considering Trish is the only one who ever stuck by her for that long.
Now Trish could understand why she loved Dez. He was just the best. Of course they fought a lot, but that was how they were. You can't have Trish and Dez (Trez if you will) without that. It wouldn't be natural. It was just how the two worked, and they absolutely loved it. Some may say it's annoying, some may say it's mean, but they think it's awesome in a way. It's like they're always flirting but never use the 'girly giggles' or 'cool guy winks' to let others acknowledge it. If you didn't know them personally, you'd be sure they hated each other. That supposed 'hate' was how they showed they loved each other.
"Do you, Dezmond Worthy Moon take thee, Patricia Maria Delarosa to be your lawfully wedded wife; to have and to hold; for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health; forsaking all others; as long as you both shall live?" the preacher asked looking towards Dez expectantly. Dez leaned back to Austin who looked at his best friend/brother questionably.
"What are you doing?" Austin whispered almost harshly. He knew this type of behavior, now, could potentially crush Trish.
"What does forsaken mean?" Dez asked, genuinely confused. Trish smiled from where she stood. She was scared for a few seconds, but luckily (in some cases) her man didn't know the definition of the word whisper either.
"Uh, abandoned…right?" Austin asked, leaning forward to look toward his wife who laughed and nodded though she was still crying a bit.
"In this sense, the easy definition is not to cheat honey" Ally said back, as quietly as she could, but to where Dez still heard.
"Oh…oh! Oh! Okay, yeah. That makes sense" Dez said obliviously. Everyone in the church stared at him expectantly while he just looked around smiling, totally unsure of all the expectancy meant towards him.
"This is where you say 'I do'" Austin whispered. Dez turned to him with a slight glare.
"I'm marrying her Austin, not you. You have a wife" Dez said putting a hand on Austin's shoulder. Austin rolled his eyes before trying a different approach.
"Fine then Dez, you do"
"I do what?" Dez asked.
"Oh for goodness sakes, Uncle Dez, say the words 'I do' to Aunt Trish or you'll never get married as long as you live!" Ella practically yelled out. Everyone turned to her in surprise, and Ella sort of shrunk behind Kelsey in embarrassment. "Well someone had to say it"
"Uh, I do?" Dez squeaked out. "Wait, what do I do again?"
Everyone groaned and the preacher decided to step in. "Son, let me repeat this to you again. If you want to marry this girl, I don't want any questions out of you, alright? You just have to say the words 'I do' and she's yours. Do you understand?"
"Oh, yes I get it now. Oops" Dez said as he turned to Trish smiling. She rolled her eyes but smiled back. She couldn't stay mad at the crazy man/child she was about to marry. She loved the idiot too much.
"Alright, let's try this again. Do you, Dezmond Worthy Moon, take thee, Patricia Maria Delarosa to be your lawfully wedded wife; to have and to hold; for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in help; forsaking all others; as long as you both shall live?" the preacher asked. Everyone crossed their fingers and hoped Dez wouldn't mess this up again.
"I do" Dez said smiling at his almost wife.
"Good. And do you, Patricia Maria Delarosa, take thee Dezmond Worthy Moon, to be your lawfully wedded husband; to have and to hold; for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health; forsaking all others; as long as you both shall live?" he asked Trish.
"Of course I do" she said making everyone else laugh. They then exchanged rings while the preacher explained the importance of the circle in unity.
"You two ready to be married?" the preacher asked with a laugh.
"Duh!" both said at the same time before smiling at each other. Dez, of course, using the creepy smile once again.
"Then by all means, by the state of Florida and the Word and promise of God, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride" the preacher said finally.
"I don't see the need for permission to kiss my wife, but okay. I will not object" Dez said before capturing Trish's lips in the long awaited first kiss of their marriage.
"I would like to introduce Mr. and Mrs. Worthy-Moon" the preacher said laughing a little. Out of all the weddings he'd ever performed, none were quite as…unique as this one.
Everyone cheered and watched as Trish and Dez walked down the aisle together before the wedding party followed in suit in the same order as they walked out. They were all laughing from the most unusual wedding they'd ever been to.
"Trish, good luck with him. He's all yours now" Mimi said laughing a little, though she was in tears from watching her second son get married.
"Mimi, I'm already a mother. I'm sure I can handle raising my husband too" Trish said smiling as she hugged her now mother-in-law.
"Trish, not that I ever doubted it, but now legally, we're sisters" Ally said as she hugged her best friend tightly.
"We always were you little freak show" Trish said laughing. Ally cracked a smile too. "Seriously Als, who cries before the wedding even starts?"
"Apparently both of us" Ally laughed. "Besides, you'll cry too when you think your little girl's about to grow up and leave"
"Ally" Trish whined. "Not today. Wedding day, remember? I don't wanna start crying again because you start talking about Ella growing up, then you say how the twins have grown so much and will be gone before you know it too. You know that just gets me to thinking about my time with Bri"
"Sorry, sorry; you're right. You have seventeen years to think about that. Just be happy today and have some fun tonight" Ally said winking. Trish's eyes widened as she wacked Ally's arm.
"Ally Dawson, I cannot believe you just said that. What kind of shows have you been watching? Or is it married life getting you all crazy?" Trish asked. She was really surprised at Ally's joke; that wasn't like her at all. It was like Trish, but not Ally.
"Sorry Trish, I couldn't help it. You did it to me, remember?"
"Using my own words against me; well played Dawson, well played. Impressive that you remembered after this long too" Trish said nodding in approval.
"Ella, you wanna go play cars?" Toby asked when they got back to the church Vestibule. Ella smiled. She was so glad things weren't awkward after that little stunt she pulled.
"In a minute; I wanna talk to the bride and groom before they get too busy in married life" Ella said making Toby laugh. He nodded and watched as she walked over to Trish.
"That, little buddy, was a nice move" Aiden said walking over to him smiling. "She was so blushing at that little hand kiss"
"I just did that because you told me to" Toby said defensively as he crossed his arms.
"I said nothing" Aiden smirked making Toby roll his eyes. "But there was no way I was going to let you make a fool out of yourself. Your face was whiter than a sheet and it looked like you weren't breathing up there when she kissed your cheek"
"Well I was surprised okay! I didn't think my best friend was going to kiss me in front of everyone!" Toby said. Aiden laughed a little at the younger boy.
"Toby, you have so much to learn about girls. I'd teach you, but I have a feeling those sisters of yours would kill me…or mine would" Aiden said shuttering.
"I'm not going to date her" Toby said defiantly as he looked over to Ella who was laughing her little head off at something her aunt had said. She glanced over to see him looking and smiled. Ella waved at him and he didn't hesitate to wave back with that distracted smile on his face.
"Yeah, you might skip right to marriage. You're so in love with her kid" Aiden said laughing. He walked off before Toby even had the chance to protest again.
"Okay Aunt Trish, don't forget to feed him" Ella said laughing. They were talking about Dez again, of course. Trish rolled her eyes and started tickling the little girl before finally letting her go.
"Go on, get out of here. We don't have all day and I know Uncle Dez wants to talk to the one who saved another wedding" Trish said laughing as her niece smiled and ran off to find her now married uncle.
"Uncle Dez!" she exclaimed as she ran up to her uncle who instantly lifted her up in his arms. Bri had finally been passed back to her mother after all the friends and family cooed over her adorable little outfit.
"Hey there kiddo. What's with all the yelling? First the wedding, now this?" Dez said making Ella giggle.
"Well someone had to do it. You can be kind of stupid sometimes. Sorry, that was mean" Ella said shaking her head. Dez laughed.
"Ells, Trish calls me stupid every day. Don't worry about it."
"Well, I gotta go play with Toby. Cars don't wait forever" she said getting out of her uncle's hold. "Bye Uncle Dez!"
"Bye!" he said waving. Austin, who was standing there the whole time quietly, suddenly groaned.
"Why now!? I'm not ready!" he cried. Dez stared at him like he had three heads. It was strange because for once, the positions were in reverse.
"Ready? Ready for what?"
"Her to grow up! You know it took all I had not to strangle a six year old back there" Austin said grabbing his best friend by the flaps o his suit.
"Blondie, hands off. I don't want him all bruised for the pictures" Trish yelled from a few feet away. Austin sighed but released Dez who just stood there laughing like an idiot.
"Dude, you should see your face!" he said doubled over in laughter.
"Alright Dez, I'll take it from here" Ally said pushing her brother out of the way. "I worked hard enough on fixing those suits. Neither one of you are messing them up."
"Ally, he kissed her!" Austin said. It was all he could do not to scream that out in shock the moment it happened.
"She kissed him first" Ally said shrugging. She'd already had her breakdown, but that didn't make Austin feel any better. "It'll be fine Austin. I overheard Toby and Aiden talking and he doesn't even think of her as anything but a best friend. And Ella, Trish was over there teasing her about it and Ella denied any romantic feelings. Austin, they're six! Get over it baby. We have a long time left with her"
Austin nodded and pulled his wife closer to him. "You stay with me forever though" he mumbled in her hair.
"Always" Ally said smiling into his chest. "I love you"
"I love you more"
"Bye everyone!" Trish yelled as she and Dez waved to the crowd of people when they got in the car.
"Om vompar!" Dez yelled making everyone laugh.
"Dez, honey, it's-never mind. Just don't try to talk to anyone in France who can't already speak English" Trish said shaking her head at her husband's personality. They shut the door and started to pull away.
"Ally's crying again" Dez said looking out the back of the window. Trish turned around and laughed.
"I know, but she's Ally. It's not like she's pregnant again" Trish said, then her eyes widened as she immediately fished for her phone.
"Hello?" Ally answered.
"Oh my goodness, are you pregnant again?" Trish asked hurriedly.
"Yes Trish, I'm as pregnant as you are" Ally said. Trish could practically see her roll her eyes over the phone. She could hear several 'what!?' shouts in the background and Ally's nervous laughter. "It's a joke guys. No need to worry there"
"So you aren't pregnant? Just a freaky crying chick like always?" Trish asked to be sure.
"Gee Trish, love you too" Ally said making Trish roll her eyes. "No I'm not pregnant. Goodness, a girl can't cry! Now hang up and get on with your honeymoon. We're only watching your daughter for two weeks"
"Yeah, yeah. Later Als"
"Bye"
"So is she pregnant?" Dez asked obliviously.
"Yes Dez, and she's carrying a baby alien" Trish replied sarcastically.
"Really!? They've already come!?" Dez asked looking around everywhere.
"She's not pregnant you doof. The only extra baby she has right now is ours"
"Good, but make sure Ally knows she can't keep that one" Dez warned.
"Never"
"So, are you happy we got married? Did you have the perfect wedding like you always dreamed of?" Dez asked. Trish smiled and gave him a quick kiss.
"Even better. I felt like I was on cloud nine!" Trish said leaning into him.
"A wedding on cloud nine huh? You think that'll be the rest of our lives too?" Dez asked with a smile. Trish nodded. If she ever had any doubt of their marriage not lasting, they were long gone now.
"Absolutely"
