Chapter 33.-Wedding Rehearsal Part 3.-
While the rest of the wedding party explored the dressing rooms, Hunter took Charlie out of his carrier. He was bright eyed as Charlie looked around the chapel. Sly stood at the alter. "Charlie" He called. "Come to daddy, Charlie." Charlie moved a few feet towards Sly and then he drove back to Hunter. "Go, sweetie" Hunter encouraged. "Go to Daddy" Charlie hid behind Hunter. "Come, Charlie" Sly called. Hunter sat Charlie in front her and gently pushed him down the isle he and whined. "NO!" Charlie screeched as Hunter pushed him towards Sly. "NO! MOMMA NO!" Charlie protested. Hunter pushed him until he was a few feet from Sly. Sly gave him a big hug. "Good, boy Charlie" He said "Good boy." Charlie smiled hugely. Hunter started backing up. "Charlie, go get Mommy!" Sly said "Look, she's getting away!" Hunter continued to back up. Thinking that this was a game, Charlie raced after her. Once he reached her, Hunter then sent Charlie to 'attack' his dad. They played this game a few times, with Hunter getting farther and father away from Sly until Charlie was driving the entire length of the isle by himself. "Drirk" Charlie said as he reached his mom one last time, panting slightly. "Do you want something to drink?" Hunter asked him "Peesz" Charlie squeaked. Hunter went to his carrier and got his sippy cup of juice. She put him in his carrier and he happily sat there and drank his juice.
Half an hour later: "Could the wedding party meet at the chapel." Robert said over the PA system. Once everybody had assembled back in the chapel. "Everyone has had time to look over their dressing rooms. Is everything acceptable?" Everyone agreed. A brown car approached Sally. "This is a just a sample of the bouquet you and your bridesmaids are going to carry" The florist, who's name was Dixie said. "Dixie it's gorgeous" Sally said. The bouquet had a magnet on the back of it and she genially placed on Sally's hood. "There now you look like a bride" Dixie said. "The flowers will be delivered in the morning and kept refrigerated, so they will be ready to go for the wedding. I have a sample boutonniere for you Lightning" Dixie said as she turned. "There's a slight problem, Dixie" Lightning said. "I don't have rearview mirrors, like the other cars." "That's not a problem Mr. McQueen." Dixie said and took a small felt wrapped magnet and put Lightning's side. The boutonniere had a small strip of metal on the back of it she attached the flower to the magnet. "See, that wasn't a problem." Dixie said and drove away.
The church had little wagon that Charlie could pull down the isle, if they convinced him. Once Charlie had finished his juice. Sly took him out of the carrier and showed him the wagon. Charlie shied away from it. "Here watch me" Sly said and he pulled it slowly around Charlie. "Weee, this is fun" Once he saw his father pulling it around Charlie gathered his courage and approached it. He genially pushed it with his front and discovered it went any where he wanted it go. "Good job, Charlie, that's my boy!" Sly said. He let Charlie push it around for a few minutes "Charlie, you need to pull it, instead of pushing it." Sly genially attached the wagon to his rear bumper, and gave him a nudge. Charlie refused budge. "Look what I have." Hunter said as she pulled out his favorite snack, Goldcars (AN-those little goldfish crackers). Charlie whined and held out one of his front tires. "You can have them, but you have to come and get them." Hunter said and she held out the box. Charlie rolled forward, and saw the wagon was following him. He grinned happily and the next thing anyone knew the little Porsche was driving in circles, trying to catch the wagon. He looked like a puppy chasing his tail. "Charlie, I thought you wanted these." Hunter said and she shook the box. Charlie immediately stopped trying to catch the wagon and headed over to Hunter panting heavily. She sat a plate down in front of him and she shook a pile of them onto the plate. She sat another sippy cup of juice next to him. Charlie munched on them as Doc lined up the bridal party as they would be during the ceremony.
Jake the wedding coordinator, paired up Lightning's groomsmen to Sally's bridesmaids. They lined up and did a run through make sure that everyone knew where to stand. Lightning and his parents would start then Sylvester and Mercedes, Stuart and Jill, Lance and Whitney, Chris and Hannah, Hunter and Charlie with the wagon, and finally Mater and Tawni. Cliff escorted Sally down the isle. Doc called Sally and Lightning up to the alter. "I'm not going to tell you everything I'm going to say tomorrow" Doc said. "However, you need to practice saying your vows to each other." Lightning stumbled through it but he did get it right on the second try. Sally said her vows perfectly the fist time. Doc had her go thought it again to make sure she had it down. "Who bears the wedding rims?" Doc asked "Charlie" Sly said. "Take the wagon to Aunt Sally." Charlie just stood there and gave him a blank look. "I don't think that he understands." Hunter said "I have an idea." She went to his carrier and pulled out Charlie's favorite two toys, a green dragon and the Strip Weathers stuffy. She came back and put the green dragon in the wagon "NO, Wacecar!" Charlie said "How bout we play a game. I give the racecar to Aunt Sally." Hunter said "You have to trade what's in your wagon for the race car." Charlie just smiled. He drove over to Sally "Trad, Peesz" Charlie said. Sally took the dragon out and put the race car in. I think that we just solved that problem" Doc said. "Do you want to run right it again to make sure he understands?" "Yeah" Hunter said "I think that it is a good thing we all do it a couple of times." An hour later: They had one last run thought. Sly and hunter put different items in the wagon each time they had a run though. Charlie was willing to trade what ever was in his wagon for the race car that his Aunt Sally had.
"Remind me to make sure that we bring the racecar with us" Sly said as they wanted to be loaded. "Charlie's pretty tired. As soon as he falls asleep I plan on giving it to Doc for safekeeping. Twenty minutes later: Everyone was loaded up and headed to the restaurant Again there was media and fans everywhere. The wedding party was lead to a private dining room. Jake, met them there. "This is how the reception will be decorated" He said. "Look around and see if you want any changes." "I think that it is perfect" Sally said "What do you think, Light?" "I like it" Lightning said "I wouldn't change a thing." "If you're pleased with the arrangements." Jake said "I'll see you tomorrow." "Ok, Thanks Jake" Sally said. Charlie passed out shortly after they were seated. Riley lead off the toasts. "Éilíonn A pósadh rathúil ag titim i ngrá go minic, i gcónaí leis an bhean chéanna." Then he repeated it in English "A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same woman." Hunter stood up. "Homer said this 3000 years ago and it still rings true" She said. "There's nothing more admirable than two people who see eye to eye keeping house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends."
Sly stood up and said "Our parents have been married for 25 years, and they still love each other. They still give each other kisses when they get home from work. They still enjoy each others' company. They still be grab each others' rear fender in public. They have demonstrated that they can weather a hardship and come out stronger on the other side. More than anything, they still make each other laugh. Together, they have an uncommon and unquestionable durability that has left a lifelong impression on me and my sister. We don't question that a marriage can be enduring, affectionate, and loving. We've have had a perfect example, Thank you, mom and dad, for showing us how it is done. Sally is my big sister by grand total of ten minutes. She is one of the most beautiful, generous, big hearted, courageous, and loyal people I have ever known. She is genuine, thoughtful and caring, and absolutely devoted to the ones she loves. She has a depth of strength and resilience that has astounded me over and over. I've only gotten to know Lightning these last few days. It couldn't be more evident that he fits right in with our family. I also know he strikes a perfect balance of caring for, and being supportive of Sally, while nurturing her independent streak and encouraging her to grow. It is evident to all that know them, how happy he makes her, and how happy they are together. As long as he doesn't try to kiss me again thinking that I'm Sally, I'm overjoyed that Lightning is joining our family, and that he will be my brother-in-law. So I want to raise a glass to Sally and Lightning…May you love each other more every day." And with that dinner was served. After a satisfying meal the transports took everyone back to the hotel. Sly gave the stuffy to Doc and he put it his trunk for safekeeping. "Won't Charlie miss it?" Doc asked "No" Sly said. "He only sleeps with his green dragon. Besides he has so many toys, he won't even notice it's gone."
