"The only reason we attacked him with cake last night is because we knew Mimi won't do it today," Ryder defended himself.
The bride rolled her eyes, "Who said that? What if I was going to do it?"
"Are you?" Elliot teased. She laughed, "No, but what if I was going to do it?"
"That would've been a bonus," Dez stated.
"Thank you for discussing throwing cake at me in front of me," Mike chuckled, "but I would rather stay clean today."
"You should do what me and Lester did at our vow renewal last year," Penny commented not being able to contain her laugh.
"Oh, yeah! Remember that one, Ally?" Lester asked.
Austin looked at his girlfriend who was laughing to herself. "Yeah, you guys had a full on cake fight instead of eating it. You even got the minister covered in cake."
"Why am I suddenly glad I wasn't your minister at that time?" Mark piped up making everyone burst in laughter.
"Maybe we should have a cake fight today," Mimi declared. Austin and Mike exclaimed at the same time, "No!"
He glared at his father for speaking the same thing he said until Ally nudged him.
"I mean, Austin has put a lot of effort into making it delicious for us, so we better eat it than waste it," Mike said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please help me welcome the bride and groom for their first slow dance as husband and wife!"
"You mean second," Austin muttered under his breath, but not going unheard by Ally as she elbowed him while smiling at the newlyweds make their way to the center of the dancefloor.
Everyone went to circle the dancefloor to watch.
"Stop it. Let them enjoy their wedding," Ally stated as they made their way to the front of the crowd. "I can't help it," he shrugged. She smirked at him and knew what she was going to say would change his mood, "Sing it out?" He smiled and nodded as he put his headset on.
Austin:
Took my hand (1)
Touched my heart
Held me close
You were always there
By my side
Night and day
Through it all
Baby come what may
Swept away on a wave of emotion
He kept his eyes at the dancing couple in front of him
Over caught in the eye of the storm
And whenever you smile
I can hardly believe that you're mine
Believe that you're mine
All:
This love is unbreakable
It's unmistakable
Dez:
And each time I look in your eyes
I know why
All:
This love is untouchable
I feeling my heart just can't deny
Each time I look in your eyes
Austin:
Oh baby, I know why
This love is unbreakable
Elliot:
Shared the laughter
Shared the tears
We both know
We'll go on from here
Cause together we are strong
In my arms
That's where you belong
All four of them turned to their girlfriends and led them to circle Austin's parents
All:
I've been touched by the hands of an angel The girls' eyes widened in surprise as they were dragged to the dancefloor
I've been blessed by the power of love
And whenever you smile
I can hardly believe that you're mine
The four couple started slow dancing around the bride and groom going in circles
This love is unbreakable
It's unmistakable
Austin: He looked into her eyes and ignored everyone else around them
Each time I look in your eyes
I know why
All:
This love is untouchable
I feeling my heart just can't deny
Austin: He sang softly as her eyes filled with tears
Each time you whisper my name
Oh baby, I know why
Ryder:
This love is unbreakable
Through fire and flame They twirled their dates as the bride was dipped down in her groom's arms
When all this is over
Our love still remains
All:
This love is unbreakable
It's unmistakable
And each time I look in your eyes
I know why
This love is untouchable
I feeling my heart just can't deny
Each time you whisper my name
Oh baby, I know why
Cause each time I look in your eyes
Oh baby, I know why
Austin: They stopped dancing as he wiped away her tears
This love is unbreakable
All five couples shared a deep kiss as guests applauded.
"How come you didn't tell me we were gonna dance too?" she asked him as she straightened his tie.
"None of the girls knew, except for our moms. We wanted to surprise you," he smiled softly.
He took her hand as they walked back to their table where everyone was getting seated.
"That was a beautiful song. I hope you have one prepared for our wedding," Trish commented as they sat down.
"Your wedding has another song ready for it," Austin said.
Ally noticed him wincing from the corners of her eyes and immediately asked, "Are you okay?" He nodded, "Yeah, just a little discomfort because of my ankle." She looked at him uncertainly and he sighed, "I'm fine, Alls. Don't worry." She nodded and turned back to the conversation among the girls on the table.
All eyes went to him when he abruptly stood up. "What?" he furrowed his eyebrows, "My mom is waving me over to talk to some guests." Ally said, "But you have to rest your ankle." He shook his head with a smile at her, "It's fine," and walked away.
By sunset, it was time to cut the cake. A small table with a 3 tier cake on it was rolled to the center of the dancefloor.
"It's even more beautiful than the one we picked," Mimi told her son as she laid eyes on it. "Glad you like it, because even the inside is different," he chuckled.
Everyone cheered and clapped as they cut the cake, except Austin, who lazily clapped his hands.
They went back to the table and waited for their pieces of cake to arrive to them.
"It looks delicious. Maybe it's a smart decision to eat it instead of fighting with it," Dez said. "Someone agrees with me," Mike nodded towards him.
Ally noticed something when she got her plate that made her exclaim, "Austin! Don't eat it!"
He dropped his fork immediately as his eyes widened in fright, "What! What's wrong?!" She separated her cake in the center where vanilla cream was and showed him the stuffing in the center.
His eyes narrowed and he marched to the cake decorator that was cutting the cake.
"I specifically ordered no strawberry jam in this cake, and what do I find? Strawberry jam in this cake," he intimidatingly said.
"What?" the man in front of him said as he checked the receipt, "No, Mr. Moon, it says 'more strawberry jam."
Austin looked at the piece of paper he was holding, "Who wrote my order down?" The man answered, "Our new intern."
He sighed, "Well, maybe keep your interns away from customer service and use professionals to avoid this happening."
The cake decorator's eyes softened, "I'm sorry, Mr. Moon. I understand if you choose not to pay." Austin shook his head, "No, no, I'll pay, but your tip's gone."
He turned on his heels and went back to his seat. "So what happened?" Kira asked him as soon as he sat down. "Apparently their intern took my order and messed it up. I told him I won't tip," he explained.
"Are you really not gonna tip?" Cassidy asked. He replied, "I know I will. I can't do that just because his intern messes up. It's not his fault." His mom asked, "What are you gonna do?"
"Since I can't eat the cake, I can do this!" he stood up and grabbed his cake in his hand and threw at Ally.
She gasped and stood up to throw her cake at him. He ducked and the cake hit Cassidy instead. She grabbed her piece and was about to throw it at Ally, but her brother came behind her and grabbed her wrist and aimed her throw at Dez.
"Oh, no, you don't!" Trish exclaimed and defended her fiancé by chucking her cake at Austin in which he pulled Kira in front of him as shield.
"Oh, I can't eat it if my son can't," Mimi said as she dropped it on her husband's head. "Oh, it's on!" Mike yelled as everyone in their table stood up and started throwing cake at each other.
They have attracted the entire garden's attention. Guests were laughing from far away to keep themselves from getting caked, workers were enjoying the scene as they stopped doing their jobs, and the photographer took his chance to take pictures.
Ally yelped as Austin picked her up and made her sit on a chair with cake on it. She felt it squish under her weight and playfully whimpered.
"What's going on?!" they heard Mark's voice yell. They turned to look at him come out of the house. Looking at each other they all screamed at the same time, "Cake the minister!"
Mark yelled in fear as they all threw cake at him.
After running out of cake they all leaned down in laughter trying to catch their breath. Ally doesn't remember the last time she laughed so hard that she felt pain in her abdomen.
She leaned into her boyfriend as she tried to stop laughing, but every time she looked around her, she bursts into laughter again.
"Okay, okay. Fun over! Everyone go clean up!" Lester finally said after he stopped laughing.
"Last time I ever be a minister," Mark muttered as he followed them inside. "Aw, all I hear is bitterness," Austin commented with a smile as they headed upstairs.
The girls went to the master bedroom while the guys went to a vacant room.
She couldn't stop her giggles as she cleaned Trish's hair while Trish cleaned her hair. They kept their hair in their updos and only cleaned of the small bits they saw. The most damage was done to their makeup and gowns.
After redoing their makeup, they wet a piece of cloth and wiped at their gowns. "This isn't going to work," Kira sighed as she wiped her ruined dress.
"Ally, don't we have some dresses that we store here?" Penny asked as she opened the closet to find her and her daughter's many dresses that they had to keep here because they didn't fit in their closets at home.
Fifteen minutes later, Ally was dresses in yellow halter top dress that reached just above her knees. Mimi had the special beige gown Penny insisted she wears.
Ally went to the bathroom down the hall for some air to find it occupied. "Oh, I'm sorry. I d-didn't mean to," she stammered as he turned around.
"Ally, it's fine. I'm only cleaning my hair," he chuckled as he faced the mirror again. He had taken his tie and suit jacket off and his sleeves were rolled to his elbows. She closed the door behind her and went to help him with his hair that was stuck with cream.
"You were limping up here," she quietly stated as she wet her hand to run through his hair. "I just walked on it too much," he said, "Stop worrying, Princess. Enjoy the day." Thankfully she dropped the subject.
"I see that your dress was a lost hope," he noted. She laughed, "Yeah, all of us."
"You still look beautiful," he smiled as she finally finished his hair. She leaned up and kissed him deeply.
Suddenly, the door swung open pushing Ally into Austin. She gasped as they stumbled into the wall. Dez popped his head in and yelled out, "Found them! They were swapping spit in the bathroom. Dinner's served."
With a mock disappointed shake of his head he left. She covered her face with her hands in embarrassment.
"Like they don't do that," Austin scoffed as he followed her to the garden.
He shivered as the wind blew through his damp hair. They headed directly towards the buffet while talking to some guests.
During dinner Austin and Cassidy stood up for a speech.
"Before we start, I have to tell you that we didn't practice anything," Cassidy into a microphone. "We're just going to speak from our hearts," Austin continued.
"Mom, Dad, you have no idea how happy I am for you. You both have been through so much," Cassidy's voice cracked with tears.
"No matter how much I don't want you to do this, Mom, I want you to be happy. You were my hero growing up, and I'm glad to see that you're doing something for yourself this time," Austin said.
"The last year has been so frustrating with trying to bring our family back together, and you have been so brave for us," she continued.
"I can't even tell you how thankful I am for everything you've done for us," he emphasized each word to mean it.
"Dad, I don't blame you for leaving. And I'm happy that you're back and now we can be a real family," Cassidy said.
"Well, I do, but that's beside the point," Austin said making some laugh, but not his family or friends, "Mom, you were there for me all the time, and I hope by doing this, I can pay you back a bit."
"I feel really good about us being a family again, as long as I'm your favorite child," Cassidy smiled.
Austin stopped and looked at his sister, "You mean, I'm the favorite child."
"Um, no, I'm pretty sure they prefer me over you," she teased. "If you're the favorite child, why was I the one to get the car?" he argued. "Because Mom knew you wouldn't be responsible enough to go buy one!" she said.
"No! Mom said it was because I was the better driver out of us two!" he defended. "So now I can't drive?!" she argued.
"MOM!" they both yelled at the same time turning to their mom. She gave them a small smile, "I'm not getting in the middle of this."
They glared at each other and stuck their tongues out.
"Anyway, cheers to finding happiness," Austin put his glass up. "And to love!" Cassidy continued. Everyone clapped and took a sip.
Ally looked at the lanterns that looked even better after the sunset. Those lanterns were the only source of light. They had so much hanging from everywhere that the garden had a romantic golden light casting it.
"I really enjoyed today," Mimi said with a big smile. "Me too," Mike agreed.
"Oh, I bet you didn't enjoy your first one. Maybe because you were only planning on wasting her time. What makes today different?" Austin suddenly said.
Ally's head snapped up in alarm like everyone else in this table. "Austin…" she said warningly.
"What? I'm just wondering if he'll do the same thing. What makes this time different, Mike?" he said plainly as if saying a normal thing.
Ally felt terrible for the man in front of her as he stammered not knowing how to answer his son. Everything was going great, why did he have to ruin it?
To make up for a lost childhood by ruining something for his father, she guessed.
Mike looked at his wife for help but she had an equally horrified expression.
"I think I'm going to go talk to some guests," Lester said before getting up and pulling Penny with him. "Me too," everyone except Austin, Ally, Cassidy, Elliot, and the newlyweds said in unison.
"I love her, Austin," he started carefully. "Didn't stop you from leaving the first time," Austin shrugged and took a sip.
"Okay, dude, think you can save this for another day?" Elliot commented. "Nah, I think I'm good," he said. "Seriously, Austin?" Cassidy asked as she stood up making her boyfriend stand up too, "We have a great day and then you decide to ruin it? You couldn't even let us enjoy this wedding. I'm done with you. You always ruin it for us. Can you for once not be this selfish?"
"Selfish? I have not been selfish!" Austin stood up, "I paid for this wedding for God's sake! All to make you happy! And just because I try to protect you from him, I'm selfish?!"
"I appreciate you doing all of this for me, honey," Mimi said quietly while getting up, "But I have told you millions of times before that you don't have to protect me from him. And if you want to not enjoy tonight and do this, then you can stay alone."
They turned their backs to him and walked into the crowd smiling and having fun.
Ally turned around and walked to the house. "Wait, Ally!" she heard behind her. "Hey!" he exclaimed as he grabbed her wrist to stop her from going any further, "Where are you going?"
She looked at him and spoke with a shaking voice, "As your mom said, if you don't want to have fun tonight, you can stay alone."
She yanked her wrist from his grasp and continued walking. "You're mad at me too?!" he asked when he ran in front of her. "Not mad," she said gently, "disappointed."
She left him standing there and went upstairs to the bedroom they were sharing. She had had enough for today.
She heard the sound of glass breaking from her room and knew that was Austin letting his anger out on a poor photo frame he saw in front of him.
She almost went to see if he's okay, but she didn't. To make her point clear, she had to stay strong, no matter how worried she got about him.
She thought couples have a good night after weddings, but she was wrong in their case. They were the only couple that night that didn't sleep next to each other, that definitely increased the tension in that house.
That'll teach him to stop attacking his father.
