(A/N: Okay, so I got over my self loathing of my writing and managed to get through the wedding. The next chapter will be the honeymoon and then I’m closing out Chris and Alysa. However, I may jump ahead to when they add to their family♥)

Once we had a theme things seemed to move in fast forward. We decided that the wedding party would consist of Chris’... our family. It was easier that way. The guest list was small, friends and family. We booked The Heritage Museum and Gardens for September second. Chris and I did have one minor argument about where in the park. We finally agreed that the ceremony would be in the Day Lily Garden. We would take pictures in a place called the Labyrinth. A wedding planner would be assisting us, but we wanted as much control over everything as we could. “I don’t want a crap load of flowers. It’s in a garden,” I sighed and dropped my face into my hands. Chris was across the table from me with Aurora in his lap. Her face covered with the cake samples that had been sent over. “So Aur, what’s the best?” He asked her. “And I agree on the flowers. None for decoration, only in the hair and hands.” “I love you so much.” I exhaled and signed off on the flowers. “Chocolate.” Aur smacked her lips and licked one hand. “Which chocolate?” Chris gestured. “All. All chocolate,” She decided. 

It was almost May. I would be spending my birthday trying on wedding dresses in New York with Scar. There were several I liked that she had taken pictures of. We were also getting some ideas for Aur’s birthday in July. She wanted to visit Wose and Scara in New York. I was overwhelmed. Not because of the planning but I had this feeling that I was going to do something wrong. That the wedding would be too lavish and not us. In August we would hit New Orleans for a bachelor/bachelorette party and I could get piss drunk and let go. “I feel like ordering every chocolate cake is excessive.” I leaned over and wiped a finger across her cheek. I tasted the frosting. “Mmm, vanilla chocolate. Yum.” “Is good mama. Is good!” She insisted. “Okay, so we have the cake. Flowers. Now music?” Chris looked at the list. “DJ. I don’t care who, let Shana decide. Invitations?” I rubbed my eyes. “Ma’s got that. Rings?” He countered. “Uh in New York along with the dresses, shoes, and all other jewelry. Carly is handling the hair and make-up people.” “Honeymoon? Oh wait, I got that.” He grinned. I finally cracked a smile and closed the wedding binder. “Let’s be done for today and take Aur to the park. I will lay in the grass and forget I ever agreed to marry you.” I stood up and whistled for Dodger. He’d been eyeing the cake and Aur but he knew chocolate was a no go for him. “That is so romantic. Here, take your chocolate frosted offspring.” He held Aur out to me and I carried her into the kitchen to clean her up. “Mama cake?” Aur asked. “No more Roo.” I shook my head. “Bong bong.” She bounced in my arms. She had recently become obsessed with Winnie the Pooh. She called me Kanga one day and I called her Roo. Every so often it struck me that she had been around for almost two years. She was the catalyst that made my life what it was now. Her mommy, Chris’ fiance...stable and happy. “Let’s go ladies...and Dodger.” Chris grabbed his NASA hat and pulled it on before clipping the dog’s leash. We walked to the park a few blocks away. Aur alternated between walking and riding on Chris’ shoulders. Her hair was loose and waving in the breeze, she leaned her chin on Chris’ head as she looked towards the park. I snapped a picture with my phone. “Mama, no pictures!” She frowned. “I think she’s still a little scarred from our last trip to LA.” Chris patted her hand. The media rounds for the last Marvel movie had been tough. We only had to be in LA for two days but we were hounded. The wedding announcement was out, Aur was more visible. The media scrambled to get pictures of her. The only time the public ever saw her was on Twitter, we were less noticed in Boston. The barrage of cameras had scared her and she started to cry, burying her face in Chris’ neck. Of course that just made them want more pictures. The comments on the pictures were not kind. Some people blamed me for keeping her secluded. Some people offered to come be a ‘real mom’ for Chris’ daughter. Others speculated that she was just spoiled and needed to deal with it. We reached the park and Aur went to the equipment to play. Chris followed her and I ran around with Dodger for a little. I wandered back to the equipment in time to see Chris try to go down a slide. His feet hit the ground while his head was still at the top of the slide. “Daddy stuck.” Aur was sitting at the top of the slide and shoving on Chris’ head. I trotted over and grabbed her with Dodger’s leash around my wrist. “You okay there?” I asked Chris. “I have a feeling that this is going to end badly.” He scooted his butt down the slide, trying to get his head free from the enclosed top. Aur and I watched as he finally wriggled his way out and landed on the ground. “Yay!” Aur clapped. “Yeah, way to go daddy. Feel old yet?” “I’m Captain America,” He whined and fell to his back. Aur slid down and went over to him and patted his head. “Okay daddy. Play now.” She leaned over his face. “Daddy is old, play with mama,” He groaned. “I don’t know if I wanna be marrying someone so old,” I teased and sat on his legs. Aur giggled and sat on his chest. “I’m two years older than you.” He tilted his head up and spread his arms out in a ‘what the hell’ gesture. = “Blow out the candles!” Chris bounced Aur on his lap as she eyed the cake. It was July. I didn’t realize how fast May and June had passed. But the wedding was rushing up on us. We had celebrated in New York the past weekend, today was the birthday party at Lisa’s house with the family. “Ice cream.” Aur held out her hands and gestured. “Make a wish baby.” I pointed to the candles. “Come on big girl.” Lisa added. Soon everyone was encouraging her to get it over with. She thought it was hilarious and started to laugh wildly, clapping. “Look over there!” Scott yelled from behind Chris and pointed. Everyone looked and when we returned our eyes to the cake the candles were out. “Yay!” Aur cheered and stood on Chris’ lap to pat Scott’s chest. “Scott Scott.” “Did you just steal her wish?” I frowned at Scott. “She’s two. She wishes for ice cream and cake.” Scott picked her up and high fived her. “Your next birthday she gets to blow out the candles.” Chris leaned back in his chair. “You are not invited to New Orleans anymore.” I stuck my tongue out at Scott. “I’m the best man...how do I get disinvited from the bachelor party?” “You pissed off the bride.” Shana called over from where she was playing with the kids. Aur scrambled down to go play with her cousins. “I’m the groom’s brother.” “I’m gonna side with her. I paid a shit load for the honeymoon.” Chris shook his head. The closer we got to the wedding the more relaxed I was. According to everyone, that was the opposite reaction to be having. But all the decisions were made, now it was just about getting married. Who gives a shit if things go wrong? As long as we ended the day married with lots of pictures of our family and friends, I was happy. - “I can’t believe they thought a joint party would be tamer.” My eyes widened as I looked at the pictures Scott kept sending to me. He’d been sending one once a day since the New Orleans trip. We were on our way to the hotel near the wedding venue. Aur was in the backseat singing to Dodger as Chris drove. The family was following us. Tonight was the rehearsal and dinner then tomorrow...the wedding. “I woke up with no pants, wearing your shirt.” Chris frowned. “You woke up with pants and a shirt made from beads. That’s tame for New Orleans.” “Oh, look at that. You gave me a lapdance.” I tilted my head, examining the newest picture. “Good, at least we know why my pants were gone.” Once we got to the hotel it was Aur’s naptime. She was over excited with everything going on and the terrible two’s were in full force. I entered the hotel room to find Chris walking her around and crooning softly. He was singing “Good Company” from 'Oliver and Company'. Aur had become obsessed with it when she learned Dodger was in it. “She told me that the Patriots were dumb butts and passed out.” Chris made a face and carried her into the bedroom area. “Ouch. She’s going for the throat.” I laughed and started to get Aur’s dress for tomorrow hung up. She had chosen a pretty cream colored dress with lace and would have a wreath of flowers in her hair. My dress was in the closet, I would have to wait until after the rehearsal dinner to get it out. Chris would be rooming with Scott, Aur and I would be in this room. “I’m not looking forward to those teen years.” He tsked and sat down in a chair. “Her vocabulary will be bigger and more insulting.” I sat on his lap and leaned my head on his shoulder. “I thought I was supposed to be busy as fuck and stressed out.” “You have a wedding planner to do that for you.” He patted my leg. I could tell he was stressed out. His anxiety was really on him today. I ran my hand through his hair. “Is it time for the honeymoon?” I asked. He started to laugh and grabbed his chest. I had been springing the question on him randomly. “We’re making us official tomorrow and you’re interested in the honeymoon?” He continued to chuckle. “Not to sound like the ice queen I am, but you’re the one who wants the spectacle. In my mind we’ve been official since I agreed to marry you.” I shrugged. “We did it all out of order. Baby carriage, then admission of love, then the marriage.” “There will be another carriage but yes, we are a little unorthodox. But I wanted to include everyone and thank you for indulging me.” He gave me a peck on the lips and smacked my ass so I would get up. “Do you have your groomsmen presents?” I asked. “Yeah, we give those at the dinner right? They wear them at the ceremony?” Chris frowned. “Plus the kids’ presents.” Aur, Dodger, and the nieces and nephews were all in the wedding. All Chris’ siblings and his parents were too. That was the extent of the wedding party. It was only family. “This is going to be a circus.” Chris smiled to himself. “I know. I’m hoping whoever is in charge of Aur and Dodger can keep them from the water feature at the ceremony.” I stopped to think about that. I made note to warn their handlers. “What do we do now?” Chris was sort of fidgeting, hands in his pockets. “Get ready for the rehearsal and dinner. Why are you so edgy?” “I’m not edgy.” He stopped in mid pace. “Are you worried that I’ll escape in the middle of the night and not show up tomorrow?” I was gathering the bridesmaids gifts and getting Aur’s diaper bag organized. “I am now.” He made a face. “Babe, it’s okay. Do you want me to have the marriage certificate signed now? Cause I’ll do it.” I put everything down and pointed at him with one hand on my hip. “That’s only a threat if the guy hasn’t been trying to marry your ass for ten years.” - The rehearsal and dinner went smooth. The photographer got a lot of great pictures mostly of the kids playing in the garden with the dog. Chris got Aur and me back to our room and kept finding reasons to stay. “Come on, we agreed to spend the night apart.” I poked him with my toe. He was sitting on the floor in front of the couch. Aur was styling his hair for tomorrow. She wasn’t that thrilled that she had to get her hair pretty tomorrow, so Chris was letting her vent on his head. “But my stylist isn’t finished. How’s it look little bit?” “Good. Pony clips pitty.” Aur brushed at one of the My Little Pony clips with colored hair extensions placed in Chris’ hair. “Is pink and pupol.” “Awesome. It’ll match my suit.” “I thought our theme was blue?” I frowned. “I thought it was...nature? Is that a color scheme?” Chris scrunched up his face, concentrating. “There’s pink and purple in nature...and blue.” “So the theme is rainbow.” I nodded. “Now makeups daday.” Aur suggested. “I think I’ll pass. I’d just have to remove it to sleep.” Chris unfolded his legs and stood, his fake hair waving. “You cannot have better hair than me tomorrow. You’ll have to take out your extensions.” “You’re just jealous.” He tossed his fake hair before kissing us goodnight and leaving. “Daday pitty.” Aur smiled and crawled into my lap. “Yes, you made him very pretty Roo. As soon as they sing the ‘Hot Dog’ dance it’s bed time.” I hugged her to me and watched Mickey and Goofy on the TV. Once Aur was down I pulled out my dress. It was strapless and cream colored with an overlay and train of flowers and small crystals. It would be beautiful in the garden setting. It was long enough that I could wear flat sandals, thank God. I wasn’t that excited to walk all over the turf in heels. I looked at the dress for a while. This was actually going to happen. No one was getting cold feet. No tragedies or dramas. I was marrying Chris, as much as I tried to make him see I wasn’t worth it, he persisted. I got the wedding band out of my purse. It was a white gold ring to match my engagement ring. On the inside I had them engrave ‘I love you’ and ‘Dor’. “Oh boy.” I breathed. - “Okay Alysa. Are you ready?” “Do I have to walk slow? I really hate people staring at me.” I was pacing and gripping my small bouquet of stargazer lilies. With all the fussing I was doing I was shocked that my hair didn’t move. I would have to send an extra tip and thank you to the hairdresser. My hair was half up with a silvery wreath, the rest was waved down my back. My only jewelry was my Christmas bracelet, some silver earrings, and my engagement ring. “Aren’t you an actress?” The coordinator asked. “Yes, but when you’re in a film the audience isn’t staring at you.” I growled at her and she stepped back. My music started, ‘Storybook Love’ from ‘The Princess Bride’ and I exited the small tent. The sunlight hit me and I heard the guests make various murmurs of admiration. I started to give my standard awards ceremony smile then dropped it. I sort of smirked instead. I was nervous, but this was our day. I could do what I wanted. I looked to the end of the makeshift aisle. Chris stood on the top of the few stone steps. Aur was in his arms and she was sucking on her thumb as she watched me approach. Chris was talking to her and watching me. He was doing it so he wouldn’t cry. If he focused on Aur he could keep his emotions in check. He had come to that conclusion when I kept teasing him about how emotional he was. I didn’t have that luxury and I was holding back tears like a motherfucker. “Mama.” Aur was delighted when I finally got to them and wrapped an arm around my neck. She pulled me and Chris together and the crowd awed. “Hey.” Chris greeted me. “What’s up?” I nodded and kissed Aur’s cheek. Chris leaned over and placed Aur at our feet on the steps. She sat with Dodger at her side, messing with a toy Lisa handed her. The officiant started. We wanted the ceremony to be short and we wrote our own vows. We included several mentions to our family. The wedding party was crying by the end. Aur was falling asleep on Dodger. And I was ready to be done. I was ready to kiss my husband. - “I’m married!” Chris yelled from the dance floor. “Yeah you are.” I was sitting at a table with Scarlett and Lisa, my feet propped up on Scar’s lap. We each had our children asleep on our chests. “He’s enjoying himself.” Scar watched as the photographer took some snaps of Chris and the guests. "Did he drink all the drinks?" “He’s numbing the pain of being away from Aurora for 3 days. He figures that if he’s drunk he won’t miss her right away.” I kissed Aur’s forehead and she hummed in her sleep. Lisa was all smiles, content that Chris and I finally met our endgame. “She ready to come to grandma’s house?” “Yeah. She finally crashed from all the excitement.” It was 10 pm. The youngsters were being taken home by their parents. The party wouldn’t go on much longer. Chris and I had to be at the airport by five am. We still had to go home, change, grab our stuff, and get to the airport. “Your husband needs to sober up before the flight.” Lisa watched her son. “I think he can do it in 7 hours. I stocked the car with Gatorade.” I laughed. “Disney World, then Disneyland, then Hawaii. He’s ambitious.” Scar giggled. “I think he just wants to get laid in both parks. Hawaii is for me, but it is the Disney resort so…” I shrugged. “I’m going to get Chris to say goodbye.” Lisa went onto the dance floor. “I got you to marry me.” Chris taunted as he came over with his arm around his mom. “Good job baby.” I blew him a kiss. “Do you have everything you need, Lisa?” “Her daddy has my house fully stocked sweetie. She could live there for a year and I wouldn’t need to buy her anything. ” Lisa reached for the diaper bag as I hugged Aur and kissed all over her face. Scarlett shifted Rose as I stood up. “She’s my little bitty nugget and she deserves everything.” Chris swayed and his mom steadied him. “I’m so glad she’s coming on the honeymoon.” “Chris! That was a surprise.” Lisa groaned. “Aw, baby. ” I pulled him into a hug and he laid his head on my chest next to Aur. “I figured she was showing up at some point. No way he could go more than a week without her. You meeting us in Cali?” “Yes. We’re doing our family trip and then seeing you off to Hawaii.” Lisa made a face at Chris. “You didn’t want to bring her to Hawaii, babe?” I asked my husband, who was kissing Aur’s nose over and over. She slapped at him. “Kinda, but we need to start trying for another one so we gotta have alone time.” He nodded. “With your mother right here, nice one drunk Chris.” I smiled at Lisa. “Lemme seep. Bye bye go.” She pushed at Chris. “Daddy, top!” “She’s probably getting a contact high.” Scarlett raised her eyebrows as I said good-bye to Aur. “Come here. Grandma will save you.” Lisa kissed Chris as she reached for Aurora. I handed her over and stretched my back. “You two have fun. I love you both and be safe.” Lisa kissed me and joined the parent exodus. We had been prepping Aur for us going away. I mean, she was used to it but still...it sucked. I was happy she would meet us in Disneyland. She had only been there once before when she was littler. “Let’s go.” Chris wrapped his arms around me and tried to pick me up. “What?” “Let’s go. We’re getting another one started. I told you.” He stumbled and we both almost fell over. “How many fingers am I holding up?” I asked. “Up where?” He grinned. “I can’t be here for this. I love you guys. Glad you two finally got your shit together.” Scarlett hugged us and wandered off. “My husband is such a charmer.” “I think him singing 80’s movie songs bombed was the highlight of the night. But that seems to be what we do at weddings.” Scott came over, he was also weaving a little. “I didn’t mind the singing. When he tried to channel Tom Cruise in ‘Cocktail’ and threw a bottle at  you was a bit much.” I tilted my head. “Help. We gotta get going.” Scott helped to drag Chris into the tent where I had gotten ready. We set him in a chair and I shoved a lock of hair off my face. “He’s just happy because he’s got what he’s wanted since he was in puberty. He gets to introduce himself as your husband.” Scott snickered as I turned and gestured for him to unzip my dress. “Oh yeah, I’m a hell of a catch. You’re taking all this back tomorrow in my car right?” I gestured to my dress and all the other wedding shit. Presents, flowers, and so on. “Yeah. I got it. I’ll see you in Cali.” Scott gave me a smacking kiss on the cheek and left, running into a table as he left. “C’ mere.” Chris grabbed me around my waist and pulled me back to him in the chair. “You’re so pretty.” “You are too.” I started to pull pins from my hair and scratched my head. “No, I mean. All this lingerie stuff. It’s so pretty and lacy and soft.” He was petting the corset I had worn under my dress and the boyshort panties that matched. “Bring it with us!” “I will pack it in my overnight bag, ” I promised. “Why won’t you have sex with me?” He whined. “Because we have a flight in 7 hours. I have to drive to the airport and sober you up. Not to mention everyone we know is right outside the tent. Yo Shana!?” I called. “Yeah?!” She called back. “Nothing! See?” I asked Chris. I patted his cheeks and kissed him. “If you were more quiet.” He grumbled as I changed into a maxi-dress and pulled my hair up. “What can I say, you drive me wild.” He had removed his tie and jacket. I grabbed his hand and pulled him up. “Let’s go big boy. I’ll make it up to you.”
