I own none of the characters of October Road
"Does it hurt?" Eddie asked softly as he watched Janet run her finger over her newly acquired tattoo, the Chinese symbol for love, located on her left wrist. Even though they weren't married yet Eddie convinced her to have the date if their upcoming wedding tattooed underneath the symbol.
"No. I just can't believe that I actually let you talk me into it."
"I can be pretty persuasive when I want to be." He told her with a cocky grin. Janet lifted her face and Eddie gave her what she wanted, a kiss.
"What about you? Does yours hurt?" Just like in his dream, he got an identical tattoo on his left wrist.
"It's all good baby." Janet settled her head onto Eddie's chest and fidgeted nervously in her seat.
"She's going to lose it when she sees this. She hates tattoos." Janet said nervously.
"She may be your mother Janet but you are an adult and if you want to get a tattoo then you are allowed to get a tattoo."
"God, I hate waiting." Eddie grinned. Janet is the most patient person he knows and if she had to wait ten hours for something, she would do it and not complain. She's just nervous because her mother is flying in.
True to his word, Eddie never brought up the subject of her mother to her again. He knew she needed to work out the issues with her mother on her own and he was not surprised when she told him one night that she called her mother. They had spent over an hour on the phone, catching up on each other's lives and three days later, Janet received a check in the mail to put towards the wedding and honeymoon. Janet called her mother to thank her for the money and they spent another couple of hours talking and this time, they talked about their problems and began to repair their relationship. Since those first two conversations Janet and Sharon had shared a phone call every day and finally Janet asked her mother to come to town before the wedding so they could visit. Sharon eagerly agreed and that's how Eddie and Janet ended up at the airport.
"What about if she doesn't like you?" Janet whispered fearfully.
"Oh Janet, everybody likes me." She glared at him. "Shouldn't I be the one worried that she won't like me?" She didn't even crack a smile. "Don't worry sweetheart. Even if your mom hates me, as long as you're happy then she'll be happy for you "
"I…I just want everything to be perfect. You are the most important person in my life and mom and I are finally starting to be good again and if she doesn't…"
"Quit worrying. Everything will be fine."
"Promise?" Just then, they heard the announcement announcing the arrival of Sharon's flight.
"Yeah sweetheart. I promise." Eddie stood and pulled Janet to her feet. "Let's go greet your mom." They walked over to the arrivals gate and waited for the passengers to disembark from the plane. Janet was clutching Eddie's hand so tightly that he was beginning to lose the circulation in his hand but he didn't complain.
"There she is."
"Are we just going to stand here or are we going to move?" Instead of answering, she began to walk to her mother, dragging Eddie along with her.
"This is it." She whispered, and then she raised her arm to wave. "Mom. Over here." Eddie saw a smile spread across Sharon's face and Eddie recognized it immediately. It was the same smile he saw on Janet's face. When Janet and Sharon finally came together, Janet released Eddie's hand and the two women embraced.
"Janet, you are positively glowing. Are you pregnant?" Eddie had to laugh when Sharon asked Janet that question. In his dream, when she asked that question Janet was pregnant but didn't know it. This time, the answer to the question was definite since they haven't slept together.
"No mom. I'm not pregnant. I'm just very happy." Janet reached out for Eddie and pulled him close to her. "And he is the reason why I'm so happy. Mom I'd like you to meet my fiancé, Eddie Latekka."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Meadows." Using the hand that Janet was clutching, he shook her hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well." She responded with a smile.
"Come on; let's get your luggage so we can get out of here." He suggested and the woman agreed. "So I hope you're hungry. Janet and I made reservations at a nice restaurant outside of Boston."
"That sounds good. I am starved and it will give me chance to get to know you."
"It's not too late. If you want to make a run for it, I'll cover for you." Janet whispered.
"Nah. I got this under control." He told her before he stole a quick kiss from her.
"Are you feeling okay Eddie?" Sharon asked as they enjoyed a nice dinner.
"I'm really good. I got the staples out of my skull last week and I've hardly had any headaches since. I'll be released to my normal life at the end of the week."
"That's wonderful."
"I've been given a second chance at life and I'm not wasting one minute of it."
"So Janet tells me that you own a company?"
"Yes ma'am. My best friend and I own a window company."
"A window company?"
"We specialize in installing windows, doors and floors but mainly, windows."
"And is this business lucrative? Will you be able to support my daughter and any children that you may have in the future?"
"Mom!" Janet gasped.
"What? I have every right to know if you will be taken care of."
"Your mom is right Janet. She does have every right to know that I'm going to take of you."
"I am a grown woman who doesn't need a man to take care of me."
"We both know that sweetheart." He smiled at her and she couldn't resist smiling back. "To answer your question Sharon, I am able to take of Janet and any children that we may have if she'll let me."
"That is an acceptable answer." Janet said.
"I agree. That is an acceptable answer." Sharon added. Before the conversation could continue the waiter came and set the check on the table and Eddie and Sharon both reached for it.
"I got this." Eddie said.
"No. Let me."
"No really. I got this."
"No really. Let me get this. Consider it an engagement gift." Eddie was standing firm. "Please Eddie. Allow me."
"She can be very stubborn Eddie."
"Now I know where you get it from." He commented as he released the check.
"Is that an insult or a compliment?" Janet asked in mock outrage.
"It's a compliment baby, all the way."
"It better be." The happy couple stared into each other's eyes until Sharon discreetly coughed, reminding them of her presence.
"Is the Johnson Inn still in business?" Eddie and Janet both nodded. "I remember that being a very nice establishment."
"It is mom. Why?"
"I figured that is where I will stay. I didn't make a reservation but I'm sure The Ridge hasn't changed that much over the years that it would be booked."
"I was planning on you staying with me."
"I don't want to intrude on you two."
"You won't be. Eddie isn't living with me yet. Most of his stuff is there but he won't be moving in until after the wedding."
"Why?" Sharon was shocked. She just assumed that the couple was living together.
"After my surgery I needed constant supervision so I have been staying with my parents and my mom has been doing what she does best; fussing over me. I get clearance on Friday and the wedding is on Saturday so that's when I'll move in."
"Please mom, stay with me."
"If that's what you want."
"It is." The waiter came and took the check.
"Then it's settled."
"Thank you mom."
"So where are you two going on your honeymoon?" Eddie and Janet shared a guilty look.
"Well we're not actually going on a honeymoon right away. Even though we are having a casual wedding it's costing us a little bit more than we anticipated, probably because of the short notice."
"So why rush?"
"We don't want to spend any more time not being married." Eddie answered.
"It's not that we can't afford the wedding because we can. The money you sent has been very helpful but we didn't think about Eddie's medical bills. His insurance didn't cover everything so we are paying those and because Eddie hasn't been able to work for almost two months has also put a financial strain on us. Eddie has a credit card that we could use but we don't need that extra large bill. Once Eddie gets back to work things will get better and then we'll take a long weekend." Janet explained and Sharon's heart almost burst with pride. Janet was willing to give up her honeymoon because of her husband's medical bills.
"That sounds like the most logical solution."
"It is. We don't need a honeymoon. We're together and that's what is most important." Eddie nodded in agreement but it still irritated him that they weren't taking a honeymoon.
When Janet first brought up the possibility of not going on the honeymoon Eddie balked. They both deserved a honeymoon, Janet more than Eddie. He had practically been on a vacation since he had been in bed recovering from surgery but Janet deserved this more than him. Spending all of that time at the hospital while he was in his coma and during his infection and since he got home from the hospital she has been pulling tons of extra shifts to pay for their wedding and when she weren't working she was at his parents house, helping Laura take care of him. She needed a break. It was the only fight that they had gotten into since they had been together. They yelled and screamed at each other, but Eddie finally relented and agreed to forgo the honeymoon. He had to admit that Janet brought up some really good points that he couldn't argue with but it still tweaked his manly ego, that because of some giant freaking tumor he couldn't afford to take his bride on a honeymoon.
They left the restaurant and drove home in comfortable conversation. Since Eddie hasn't been cleared to drive yet, that would happen the day before the wedding, Sharon insisted that Janet drop her off so she could take Eddie home and have a little privacy and Janet couldn't argue with that.
"My parents and sister aren't home. Would you like to come in? We'll be totally alone." Janet burst out laughing.
"You sound like a horny teenager instead of the thirty year old horny man that you are."
"You have no idea how horny I am. Come on." They both got out of the jeep and went in the house, straight to Eddie's room, falling into his bed.
"The hornieness is your fault. You're the one who decided to wait until we are married to have sex." Janet told him as he slipped his hand under her shirt to cup her breast.
"I was wrong. So wrong." He said. His lips fell onto her neck and he began to nuzzle, causing her to moan softly. His lips felt so good on her neck, her lips, hell his lips felt wonderful on any part of her body. "I just had brain surgery. Why in the hell did you listen to me?" He mumbled into her neck.
"I tried to talk you out of it but you wouldn't listen to me." With his free hand he trailed it down to the button on her pants and he slowly unbuttoned them. Janet's brain finally caught up with her when she felt him begin to pull the zipper down. She quickly removed his hand.
"Janet." He whined.
"Sorry baby. This waiting was you're idea."
"A guy is entitled to change his mind."
"Six more days Eddie. You can wait six more days." Janet gently pushed Eddie off of her and sat up, attempting to remove temptation.
"I don't think so." Eddie was not giving up. He ran his hand up her thigh, to the center of her pants where he could feel the heat radiating. He knew he wanted it as much as he did. "Every time I think of you I get hard so to say the least, I've had a constant hard on." Janet blushed and became more turned on then ever but she removed his hand.
"Our first time will not be in your childhood bedroom with the possibility of your parents or Katie walking in on us at any time."
"They could be gone for awhile."
"Eddie my mom is waiting for me at my house. I need to go."
"Can I at least get a kiss before you go?"
"I think that can be arranged." Eddie sat up and eagerly pressed his lips to Janet's while he pushed her back on the bed. Knowing that this kiss was only a kiss that wouldn't progress to anything further he placed a hand on her check and gently caressed it as his tongue caressed the inside of her mouth. "I gotta go." Janet groaned when they finally broke apart to breathe.
"I know." He mumbled as he began to kiss her again. Even though she knew that she had to leave she was enjoying kissing him way too much to stop.
She has no idea how much longer they kissed, time always flew when they kissed but eventually Janet pulled apart, got out of bed and straightened her clothes. "Walk me to my car?"
"Absolutely." Eddie pulled himself out of bed, adjusted his pants so he could walk with some comfort. Holding hands, Eddie walked his fiancé to her jeep. "My god, Janet I love you so much." He whispered before he kissed her.
"I love you too." She whispered when they pulled apart. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Tomorrow." Eddie stood in the driveway until he could no longer see Janet's taillights and then with a sigh, he returned to his bedroom, knowing that his hand was going to be his best friend…again.
"You're really happy aren't you sweetheart?" Sharon asked while she and Janet sat on the couch drinking decaf coffee.
"I've never been happier. Eddie is my everything. Every time we talk, kiss or every time he looks at me, I can see how much he loves me and I feel the same. I never thought I would feel this way about another man, especially Eddie Latekka."
"Why especially Eddie?"
"Because he is Eddie Latekka mom. He was the popular quarterback who dated the head cheerleader all through high school. He wasn't the type of cool guy that ignored all of the people that weren't cool. He was nice enough. Senior year he was my chemistry partner. God I loved chemistry that year."
"I remember how you spent more time then ever getting ready for school."
"Yep. Because I was going to see Eddie. He was always nice enough and when he saw me in the halls between classes he always said hi but I never thought in a million years that I would be marrying him in six days."
"Why didn't you think that you could end up marrying the quarterback?" Sharon inquired.
"Umm hello? Eddie- cool football player." Janet then motioned to herself. "Me, not a cheerleader."
"Oh sweetheart."
"Eddie changed. He is no longer the same superficial guy he once was. He loves me even though I'm not like the skinny girls he once dated. He thinks that I'm beautiful even though I'm not skinny. I am not even nervous about him seeing me naked for the first time."
"The first time? You two haven't slept together yet?" A shocked Sharon asked. It wasn't that she thought that her daughter was a slut but she knew that the couple had been together for awhile and she just assumed that they slept together.
"We had plans to. Eddie was going with me to see Grams and Gramps but he had to stay home and help his dad deal with a broken water pipe. That was the night that he ended up in the hospital and his tumor was diagnosed. Once we got engaged and decided on the quick wedding we decided to wait or he decided and I agreed. Now he is regretting it but I'm sticking to it." Janet told her mother with a wicked grin.
"I am so happy for you. I can tell that he adores you. He reminds me a bit of your father."
"I thought so too. I think daddy would have really liked Eddie. Do you?" Sharon had to blink back her tears.
"I do. All your dad wanted for you in life was to be happy and to be loved by a wonderful man. You found that so I know that your father is smiling down from heaven."
"I miss him. I wish he was here."
"So do I." Sharon cleared her throat. "I made some calls when you were dropping Eddie off and I have something for you."
"Mom, you didn't have to do anything. You already sent me money."
"That was your money, money that your father and I saved for you. I have a friend who owns a cabin in upstate New York. It's a truly beautiful cabin. There are lots of things to do, hiking, exploring caves, golf, horseback riding and it's only an hour away from the city so you guys can go and catch a show or see the sights. It belongs to you and Eddie for a week beginning on Sunday."
"Mom I…we can't accept it."
"It's my gift to my daughter and future son in law."
"This must have cost a fortune."
"No. It's my friend's cabin. I'm not paying anything for it. I also cashed in some of my frequent flier miles and you and Eddie have first class seats and they are non-refundable so you have to go."
"I don't know what to say. Thank you so much." Janet said tearfully and then hugged her mother.
"You're welcome honey. Tom is having the refrigerator stocked for you and he is having a car taken to the airport that you guys can use. I've been there a few times and it truly is gorgeous."
"He must be a really good friend if he is doing this for someone he has never met before." When Sharon didn't answer Janet had a revelation. "Oh my God mom, you're dating him aren't you?"
"I…uh…yes I am."
"I want to meet him. Call and invite him to the wedding."
"No. It's your day honey."
"Mom, please invite him. Eddie and I need to personally thank him. Call him."
"Are you sure?"
"If you don't call him your frequent flier miles will go to waste." Janet threatened.
"Fine. You win."
"I usually do. Call Tom and I'll call Eddie." Janet kissed her mom goodnight and they each went to their respective rooms.
Once Janet was changed into her pajamas she called Eddie to inform him about their honeymoon. She was so excited and she couldn't wait to hear his response. "Hey baby." He greeted into the phone. "Miss me?"
"Guess what?"
"So you don't miss me?"
"Yes I miss you. Guess what?"
"What dear?"
"My mom just gave us a honeymoon."
"Huh?"
"This guy that she has been seeing has a cabin in upstate New York and he is letting us have his cabin for a week, free of charge."
"Are you kidding me?" Eddie was shocked at the generosity of a stranger.
"No. I'm dead serious. Mom has also cashed in some frequent flier miles and purchased two first class tickets for us."
"I'm actually speechless." Eddie mumbled.
"Can you believe it?"
"I am so…this is awesome. I am glad that we get to go on a honeymoon because I was feeling like a real ass that because of me you couldn't have the honeymoon that you deserve."
"Eddie, for the hundredth time, it is not your fault. We could have gone, charged it to our credit cards then our monthly payments would have gone up and we probably would struggle financially for awhile. I don't want to start our marriage out struggling for money, working like crazy to get extra money and never seeing each other. It's not worth it."
"You're right Janet but I still feel like an ass."
"Well stop it. It all worked out and we are going on a honeymoon."
"It really did work out." He mused.
"Thank you." She whispered softly.
"You're welcome but for what?"
"Things between my mom and I are going so well. If it wasn't for you then I wouldn't have called her and she wouldn't be here and I am so glad that she is here to share the most important day of my life so thank you Eddie. Thank you for pushing but not pushing me at the same time." Eddie could hear the tears in her voice and he wished that he was with her so he could hold her.
"You did it baby. I just made the suggestion."
"And I am so damn glad you did. Thank you."
"You are very welcome. I love you and I want you to be happy."
"I am. I have never been happier and it's because of you. I love you."
Over the five days prior to their wedding Eddie and Janet found themselves busy. Eddie had returned to work but in a paperwork only setting. He hated paperwork but he hated sitting around doing nothing and feeling worthless so paperwork it was. When he wasn't working he was with Janet, either hanging out at Sully's while she worked or they were either at his parents or her house working on wedding details. Unlike most men he knew, he actually wanted and enjoyed participating in the planning of his wedding.
Meanwhile Janet spent her time either working or finalizing wedding plans. She managed to squeeze into her schedule time to go shopping for a dress, something rather important that she needed. She took an afternoon with her mom, Laura, Katie and Hannah and they went shopping. She wasn't looking for anything fancy and it didn't necessarily have to be white. Eddie was wearing a pair of dress pants and dress shirt so she didn't want to be overly dressed when standing next to her groom. After going to four stores Janet found a simple but elegant white and blue dress. She looked beautiful in it.
She was trying her hardest not to become a bridzellla but by Thursday, she was exhausted, frustrated and the littlest things were irritating her but she had to hand it to her fiancé. He was patient and understanding with her and never got angry with her. She figured that she was short on patience because the only time she was ever alone was when she was sleeping and she missed her alone time with Eddie. The biggest relief came when Eddie was cleared by Dr. Turner on Friday. There was no sign of any tumors or cancer cells. He was free to return to a normal life.
The night before the wedding their friends took them out to Sully's for a night of fun and drinking; a bachelor/bachelorette party. There was food, alcoholic beverages, singing, dancing and lots of fun to be had. Eddie and Janet participated in the festivities but not to the extreme. Honestly, neither of them wanted to be hung over on their wedding day. About eleven Eddie suggested that he and Janet sneak out of there for a little bit of alone time and Janet eagerly agreed.
He surprised her by driving to the lake, like on their first date. Eddie pulled into the empty parking lot, turned off his truck, pulled Janet into his arms and thus began a make out session that lasted for about thirty minutes. They couldn't get enough of each other. The second Eddie pressed his lips to Janet's she felt all of the stress from the past week leave her body. "Walk with me." Eddie requested during one of the breaks they took to breathe.
"Okay." Janet waited in the truck, something that made her feel awkward but Eddie loved being the gentleman and opening her door. Once she was out of the truck they walked, hand in hand down to the dock. "Remember our first date?" Janet whispered softly when they arrived at their destination.
"I do and that's why I brought you here tonight. I've told you this before but I knew, that night sitting out here on the dock that I was going to marry you and tomorrow its happening." Tears of happiness filled Janet's eyes. "Tomorrow we are just saying the normal, traditional vows so tonight, if it's okay with you, I want to say my own vows just between you and I. Is that okay?"
"It's perfect." Janet was blown away by this loving act of tenderness.
"Okay. Janet I love you. Before you came into my life I thought that I loved before but I realize that I never had. You are the first thing on my mind when I wake up and the last thing on my mind when I fall asleep. I now know that I was born to love and take care of you. I promise you, in front of God that I am going to spend the rest of my life loving you with my entire heart. I promise that I am going to make you a very happy woman. I promise to laugh and cry with you. I promise that I will never be unfaithful to you and finally I promise to cherish your heart like it is the most precious gem in the world. I love you, more than I can ever show you but I will never stop trying." Janet had never felt more loved in her life then she did right then. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
"Thank you for that Eddie. Those have to be the sweetest words that I have ever heard." She told him when they broke apart.
"I meant every word."
"I know. Now you obviously had time to prepare and I have not so I'm going to speak from my heart. I have never felt more loved then I do right now. I just hope that I make you feel just as loved as you had made me feel. You are the most wonderful amazing man and I am so lucky to have you in my life. I promise you, in front of God that I am going to love you with everything that I have. I promise that I am going to make you a very happy man. I also promise to laugh and cry with you but I'm hoping for a laugh full of laughter and few tears. I promise that I will always be faithful to you. You will always be the one and only man for me. I promise to be a good mother to our children and I promise to be a loving, understand wife. I promise that I am going to love and cherish you for the rest of my life." Now it was Eddie who had tears streaming down his face. The couple wrapped their arms around each other and shared a tender kiss.
The day of Janet and Eddie's wedding dawned cloudy and rainy but that did not put a damper on the mood of the bride and groom. They were prepared for the rain and Jack and Laura's backyard was covered with tents. Eddie and Janet weren't worried about superstitions so Janet was at her future in-laws early in the morning, wearing sweats, and a tee-shirt with her hair pulled up on top of her head so she could help with the final touches.
An hour before the party was supposed to get started Janet, Katie, Sharon, Laura and Hannah went to Katie's room to help the bride dress. The girls insisted that Janet follow one tradition; something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. Her engagement ring counted as something old, her dress was new, she borrowed her mother's pearl earrings and Hannah put blue flowers in her hair. Ten minutes before the guests were due to arrive, Janet and Eddie met in his room for a little alone time. "Wow. You look amazing." Eddie gushed when Janet walked in and she blushed.
"Thank you. You clean up pretty well yourself." Eddie did look very handsome.
"I feel like a dork in this damn hat." He still had a slight bald spot in the middle of his head because of his surgery. Around his family, close friends and Janet, he was comfortable without the baseball hat but when he was out in public he always wore a hat, something he never really did before.
"I thought you might so I have a gift for you." Janet stepped out into the hall and handed him a box.
"Hmm. Wonder what this is?" Eddie slowly opened the box and a huge grin crossed his face as he pulled out the fedora hat that she had bought him. "Oh my God. This is freaking awesome." Eddie put the hat on and then went to the mirror to adjust it with a huge smile. "What do you think?" He asked turning around to face Janet.
"You look really hot." Eddie took two large steps, lifted Janet into the air and twirled her around the room while kissing her.
"You are truly the best."
"I'm so glad you like it."
"I freaking love it and I love you. I am going to keep wearing it even when my hair grows back." There was a knock on the door.
"Sweetheart. The guests are starting to arrive." Laura called from the other side.
"Are you ready to do this?" Eddie asked with a sparkle in his eyes.
"Am I ready to become your wife? Hell yeah I'm ready. Let's go." She grabbed his hand and together, they walked outside.
The afternoon was wonderful. It rained off and on but it didn't darken the mood. It seemed like every resident of Knights Ridge was in the Latekka backyard. On the invitation Eddie and Janet requested no gifts but either the residents of their town were illiterate or they chose to ignore the request because there were tons of gifts. Eddie and Janet spent just as much time together as they did apart, hanging with family and friends. Katie fluttered about taking tons of pictures while Ikey followed her around like a lost puppy. One picture that was taken that Eddie will treasure was a picture of him and his best friends, including Physical Phil. Since the announcement of the wedding, Phil had been working on coming out of the house and he succeeded. He wasn't out among all of the guests; that was still too much for him so he was hanging out in the kitchen with a view of all of the festivities. He came outside a few times, with his friends surrounding him, making him feel comfortable, if only for a short period of time.
"I'm going to go check out my mom's special friend. Wanna join me?" Janet asked Eddie.
"Absolutely." It took them about fifteen minutes to get over to Sharon and Tom because everyone kept stopping and congratulating them.
"Hey mom."
"Hello sweetheart. Hello Eddie. Are you two kids having fun?"
"The time of my life." Janet answered and Eddie leaned down to whisper in her ear.
"Think you're having the time of your life now, just wait until tonight." Janet immediately blushed and she reacted by hitting him in his chest.
"What about you two kids? Are you enjoying yourselves?"
"Yes we are. Janet, Eddie, I would like for you to meet my friend Tom. Tom, my daughter Janet and my son in law Eddie."
"It's a pleasure to meet you sir." Eddie said holding out his hand. Tom took it and the two men shook hands. "Thank you so much for letting us use your cabin for the week. I can't tell you how grateful we are."
"It's not a big deal. It's just sitting there empty right now so I'm glad that you guys are going to put it to good use." Tom told them.
"Well thank you." Eddie replied.
"Janet I am so glad to meet you. I have heard many wonderful things about you."
"Thank you for coming and sharing our day with us. I hope that we get to see a lot more of each other." Janet meant every word. Her mother was very happy and it had been a very long time since Janet had seen that and she knew Tom was the reason.
"I hope that as well Janet."
"Sorry to interrupt you but we've got a break in the rain." Laura said.
"You know what that means sweetheart?" Eddie asked.
"Let's do it."
As they settled themselves on the deck, Eddie reminded his sister not to take any pictures of them from the back because he was taking his hat off and he didn't any pictures of his bald spot. Ikey was squatting in front of them, holding a microphone that was attached to a karaoke machine up to them so everyone could hear them.
The crowd grew quiet as Laura's minister began to speak. Eddie and Janet stood facing each other, holding hands while they stared into each other's eyes. Within five minutes, they were exchanging vows, then rings and then they were pronounced husband and wife. Before it was announced that Eddie could kiss his bride his lips were on Janet's and they were sharing a hungry kiss while every one clapped and cheered. Once Eddie finally managed to pull himself away from his wife he pulled her to his chest and hugged her tightly.
"By the way I had our rings engraved." He whispered in her ear. Janet pulled away and took the band off that was just placed on her left ring finger.
"Forever?" She whispered tearfully.
"How does that sound?" He asked.
"I think I can manage forever with you." Tears were falling from Janet's eyes as she lifted her face and they shared another kiss.
