Chapter Five

Lil was laying in Kimi's bed that night. She was having so many feelings about getting married the next day. Kimi looked over at her and smiled "You're texting Tommy, aren't you?"

"Of course. This is the longest we've been apart from each other besides work" Kimi rolled her eyes.

"I'm so happy for you two" Lil smiled at her and then rolled on her side so she was facing her.

"Do you think you and Phil will get married?" Kimi shrugged and looked away from her "You two are still together, aren't you? I mean, I saw you two kiss."

"You could say we are. But he never shows it" Lil laughed

"That's just Phil. He's an idiot." Kimi looked at Lil before letting out a laugh.

"Where are you and Tommy going for the honeymoon?"

Lil shrugged and sighed "Tommy won't tell me"

Kimi reached over and took Lil's phone "I'm going to find out" she called Tommy and he answered. "Tommy, it's Kimi. You're driving this poor girl crazy. Where are you taking her for the honeymoon? I promise I won't tell her" Kimi switched ears so that Lil couldn't listen. "That's perfect! She'll love it!" Kimi smiled and then hung up. Lil took the phone and called Tommy back to beg him to tell her.

Lil had finally fallen asleep and was woken the next morning by Angelica "Wakey, wakey bride! We have to do your hair!" Lil stretched and then got out of bed slowly making her way to the bathroom. Angelica had her curling iron plugged in and ready. Kimi came in and handed Lil a cup of coffee to help wake her up.

"Will you go get my phone, please?" Lil asked Kimi. She walked to the bed and picked her phone up and walked back to the bathroom handing it to Lil.

"Are you nervous, Lil?" Susie asked walking in.

"Not as much anymore. I'm more excited than anything now" She took a sip of her coffee as Angelica started her hair.

"Lil, your'e going to look so perfect!" Angelica said curling the last bit of her hair.

"Thank you, Angie." Lil smiled and picked her cup up.

Lil stood up and walked into the kitchen "Phil, what are you doing here?" she asked putting her cup in the sink.

"I brought you Chelsea. Chuckie was still asleep, Dil didn't feel like leaving, and Tommy is out in the car. I wouldn't let him come in. It's bad luck!" Lil stated to smile at the sound of Tommy's name "Stay, Lillian! You can't see him yet!"

Lil started pouting and crossed her arms. "I'm not some dog, Phillip." Phil laughed and waved a goodbye to her. Chelsea came walking out of Kimi's room carrying Lil's makeup bag. Lil smiled and picked her up setting her on the counter.

"I want mine done!" Lil smiled again and took the bag.

Angelica finished curling everyone's hair, and finished everyone's makeup. They grabbed their dresses and made their way to the church.

"You nervous yet?" Kimi asked and Lil nodded. Kimi smiled and put a hand on her shoulder "It'll be perfect!"

Lil put Chelsea in her dress and then put hers on. She was standing in front of the mirror when there was a knock at the door. Kimi poked her head in "Lil, someone wants to see you" Lil nodded and Kimi opened the door.

Lil's smile grew when she saw Betty "Mom!" Lil ran over to her and gave her a hug. She hadn't seen her since they moved.

"You look beautiful, Lillian" Lil smiled again and gave her another hug.

"Thank you mom"

"Tommy's looking good too."

Lil smiled "I haven't seen him yet."

"We made them stick to tradition not to see each other" Kimi said from one of the chairs. Betty smiled at her. She gave Lil one last hug and kiss before walking out.

"Is it safe to come in?" Phil asked covering his eyes and opening the door.

Kimi pulled Phil's arm down "It's safe" he kissed Kimi on the cheek before walking over to Lil "You look beautiful, sis."

Lil put a hand on her chest "This is probably the only time he's ever complimented me" she smiled and gave him a hug.

"Freeze! Do not move!" Kimi said as she lifted up a camera and took a picture of the siblings.

Phil looked at the time "I best be going"

Kimi watched him go and she walking over to Lil fixing her dress. "Are you ready?"

Lil smiled and took a deep breath "I'm ready"

The music started playing as the bridesmaids and groomsmen walked down. Chelsea came down as the flower girl and then the Wedding March music started to play. Dil could tell that Tommy was getting nervous "Chill out, T" he whispered as Tommy shot him a smile.

Lil started walking down the aisle with her dad. She looked straight ahead at Tommy with a smile. She felt tears starting to form as she reached the altar and Howard handed her off to Tommy. She smiled at him as she put her hand in his. He returned the smile and which almost instantly calmed her nerves.

They could hear their friends and family crying from happiness around them. The officiate motioned for the mothers to come forward and light the family candle's. Lil and Tommy then took them and lit the unity candle. He declared them official husband and wife and Tommy kissed her.

Dil and Kimi, being the maid of honor and best man, followed Lil and Tommy to sign the wedding certificate as witnesses. Kimi hugged Lil as soon as they were done. Lil had tears in her eyes. Tommy turned to her with a smile on his "You are now officially a Pickles" he gave her a kiss. Chelsea ran up to them and pulled on Lil's dress.

"You look pretty, mommy" Lil smiled and picked her up giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"And so do you" Chelsea smiled and looked over at Dil who was running over with a camera.

"Family portrait, T!"

"Where's the reception at?" Kimi asked walking over with Phil

"My parents house" Lil said setting Chelsea down and putting an arm around Tommy's waist

Lil grabbed her stuff and her and Tommy walked out to his car that had "Just Married" written on the back window with their names on it.

Lil smiled at him when she saw it "This will always be my favorite day"

"Mine too" he leaned across to the passenger seat and gave her a kiss. They drove to Betty and Howard's and saw that most people were already there.

Tommy got out and opened the door for Lil. They made their way to the back where they had music playing and food set up. Lil looked over to where people were dancing and saw Phil dancing with Chelsea.

"She's going to be so worn out come her bed time" Lil laughed and hooked her arm with Tommy's. Lil found her mom and gave her a hug thanking her for the reception.

Tommy and Lil had their first dance together as a married couple. Halfway through it he looked into Lil's eyes "I love you so much, Lillian"

"I love you too, Thomas." she gave him a kiss before the music stopped.

Phil walked up to them "I'm stealing my sister for this dance" Lil smiled and walked away with Phil.

Tommy made his way over to Angelica "Angie, what are you doing?"

"I'm sitting. What does it look like?"

Tommy rolled his eyes and held his hand out for her "Come dance."
