The sun cast long shadows as their bikes lay forgotten in the dust, abandoned in favour of heated debate around Mel's kitchen table. Sunday lunch had barely settled, yet the air was charged with anticipation for the next game. Mel and Joe, joined by their spirited crew – Greg, Jamie, and Hannah – knew one thing for certain: it wouldn't be a quiet , displaying a distinct aversion, wrinkled her nose at the suggestion of revisiting the creche. "Again? That place is filthy, Its gross and boring." It was no secret that weddings were on her agenda, and the groups reluctance was palpable. Mel and Joe attempted to sway the group towards X-Men at the creche, only to be met with a disapproving glare from an alternative, Greg proposed the canal, with a caveat to be extra careful around the lock this time. Hannah, quick to express her concerns, whined, "But we got in trouble last time."Joe, ever the pragmatic one, retorted, "Yeah, 'cause we were dumb. No walking over the lock and we'll be ace."Despite the assurances, Hannah remained firm. "Nope. Weddings. I played your stupid games; now it's my turn." Unwillingly, they conceded, Hannah seamlessly transitioned into the role of a bossy wedding planner. "Ok Greg, you're going to be the vicar for me and Jamie to get married and then for Amelia and Joe." With the command of a seasoned wedding planner, Hannah took charge, orchestrating the whimsical ceremony for her friends. With Naomi's permission, they pick some flowers for a bouquet when a surprise visit from Zachary, accompanied by Caleb, sparked an idea in Hannah's imaginative mind. "Mr. Caleb, can we please borrow Zachary for a while?" she implored. Curious, Caleb inquired, "What for, love?" She began to unfold her plans, proposing Zachary as the adorable ring bearer for both her and Mel's wedding ceremonies. A grin spread across Caleb's face as he glanced over at the slightly flustered Mel. Agreeing to Hannah's whimsical request, Caleb assured her that he would take care of getting Zachary into suitable attire. As he herded the boys inside to change, Caleb seized the opportunity to inform Naomi of the unfolding events and fetch his trusty video camcorder. The prospect of capturing this unique celebration on film was too enticing for him to resist. He even contemplated driving to Joe's house for a clean shirt, as suggested by Hannah, but Naomi playfully dismissed the idea, calling him daft. With the garden set and preparations in full swing, Hannah and Jamie took centre stage for their ceremony. Zachary, with his charming toddler antics, had to be gently reined in during his ring bearer duties. Caleb, filming the entire spectacle, exchanged smiles with Naomi. Then, it was time for Amelia and Joe's turn. As the makeshift aisle was adorned with petals, Caleb expertly manoeuvred his camcorder to capture every precious moment. Amelia walked bashfully down the petal-strewn path to the pretend altar beneath the trees, casting a shy glance at the camera. The garden, once a backdrop for everyday life, became a magical setting for these whimsical ceremonies, forever preserved on Caleb's video tape.
