| Note from the Author: The little thing about Serena falling down happened to me at my sister's wedding. I was going to mention it in the previous part, but I forgot. Enjoy! ^_^ "Sarah, she looks gorgeous." Mac nodded knowingly at Harriet. "And to think Harm wanted her shoulders covered." "That's a father for you," she replied with a laugh. "So how are you taking all this?" "I'm really happy for the both of them." Harriet smiled. "But you're going to miss Evie to pieces." "You're right about that!" "Excuse me, could I have you're attention please?" The women turned to see the DJ in the middle of the room. "Will all single ladies come to the center of the dance floor?" Serena, Christiana, Trisha, and Maddie rushed out to the floor. "Maddie you're too little," Trisha said. "No, I'm not! I'm this many!" she pouted, holding up five fingers. Mac glared at Trisha, who immediately backed down. "She never fails to antagonize Maddie." "That's the big sister's job, isn't it?" Harriet asked. "Okay, Evie, everyone is in position. On the count of three! One... two... THREE!" Evelyn threw the bouquet over her shoulder... and right into Maddie's waiting arms. She turned around and laughed as Maddie rushed to her. "See, Evie! I caught it!" "You know what that means, don't you?" She shook her head. "You get to marry the guy who catches my garter." Maddie looked up at her. "What's a garter?" Before Evelyn could answer, Noah came over and lifted her off her feet. "Have a seat," he said, placing her on a chair. "Use your teeth!" Sean exclaimed. Of course, Noah obliged. He nodded to the DJ, who counted off again. The garter sailed through the air. It hit the floor, and so did all the single males. Evelyn laughed and took Noah's hand. "Nice throw." "I thought it'd be fun to watch. Oh, look, Mike's got it." "No, Sean does. Mike has it again!" Mike stood up. "I'm the King of the world!" Noah sighed. "That boy watches too much Titanic." "Evie!" Maddie called, rushing over to her. "Do I really get to marry Mike? He's cute!" Mike walked over to them as a slow song began to play. "May I have this dance, Maddie?" Maddie blushed. "Yes, please!" Mac smiled as Mike asked Maddie to dance. He was really great with kids. She was pulled from her thoughts by a tap on her shoulder. "Would this Marine care to dance?" "That's the best offer I've had all day," she replied, taking Harm's hand. Harm wrapped his arms around her. "I love you." "I love you too, Sailor." |
