"You nervous?"
Bill shook his head again.
"No. Actually, I feel pretty calm. After all, I am marrying the most beautiful woman in the world.
Never thought this day would come, but here it is."
He kissed Randi quickly, on the lips.
"And I am so glad you are here to share it with me."

Jojo stood outside the bathroom door.
"Matty? Is youse okay?"
She heard the toilet flush and then the sink turn on. Moments later Matty opened the door.
"You look like shit."

Matty forced a smile.
"Thank you Jojo. I love you too."
Nanny Dove stared at her granddaughter.
"Is youse eatin' Willam's cooking again? 'e not bes da best cook."
Matty shook her head.
"Nope. Not that." She rubbed her belly and let out a long sigh.
"I'm okay now."
Her eyes suddenly opened wide and she ran back into the bathroom. Those outside heard her throwing up.
"Just nerves," Jojo assured the other women.
Lindsay walked to Jojo's side.
"Not like Matty to be nervous. Dere bes someting else wrong."
"I'm okay," Matty yelled from inside the bathroom.
"Feel a lot better now. Just give me a few minutes."
"Gettin' close to dat time, hun," Jojo reminded her.
"I don't think they will start without me," Matty laughed.
"Just give me a few minutes."
It was nearly ten minutes later, that Matty walked out of the bathroom. Her face had its colour back and she had a huge smile on her face.
"Were youse smokin' someting in dere?" Jojo wondered.
