SUNDAY MAY 5 WEDDING DAY

I woke up sleeping on Matthew’s shoulder. He was awake. I looked at him and said, what are you doing? He said,  I woke up earlier and you were sleeping so soundly I didn’t want to wake you. He took my hand and started kissing it. He was rubbing his thumb in my palm and kissing my fingers. He then put his hand under my chin, raising it and started kissing me. He stopped and said, have I told you how much I love you lately. I said, I love you too. He said, I am so calm. I think so clearly now and am able to accomplish my goals. It’s all because you have made me so happy. When I come home I have these wonderful kids, you to hug and kiss. Life is just so great. I said, when I see you I am so happy. It’s just wonderful. He started kissing me when Hunter started jumping up and down on her bed like she does. She saw we were awake and held out her hands saying daddy, daddy. Matthew looked at me and said, I am being summoned. I said, yes you are. Matthew got up and took her out of her bed. Wyatt said, daddy, daddy. Matthew turned around and picked up Wyatt. He walked over to the bed and said, look what I have mommy. Two bags of sugar. He blew on Hunters arm and she laughed. That laugh that is contagious. Then he blew on Wyatt’s stomach and he laughed. I thought about what he said and said to myself. Life is great. There was a knock at the door and Matthew sat the kids on the bed saying, mommy needs a kiss. He grabbed a towel wrapping it around him and headed to the door. He had a cloth wrapped around his privates but it was small. He didn’t feel he was acceptable for female visitors. I was being covered with kisses. Wyatt was trying to out do Hunter. I couldn’t help but laugh. Matthew let Mom in and asked the ladies if the ladies could wait a minute. Then he headed to the bathroom. Once in the bathroom Mom let the women in. Mom came over to me and I said, help I have kissing bugs. I said to the kids, grandma needs a kiss. The kids zeroed in on Mom. After a few kisses Mom said, I love getting kisses but we have to get ready. You don’t want to miss breakfast. Do you? Hunter sat down and slid off the bed. Wyatt put his arms out so Mom could take him off the bed. Matthew came out with with pants and shirt that tied at the waist. Matthew said to Mom and I that the wedding couple were to stay in their rooms starting at 12 noon yesterday, so everyone could set up for the wedding. Everyone who was helping with the wedding wanted to surprise the couple. The kitchen cooking was still running threw the house. The smell was so good it made you hungry. We got ready and went down to breakfast. Maintenance had put a curtain up covering the entrance windows. That was so Katarina and Scott could go to the cafeteria, gym and their rooms without spoiling the surprise. Breakfast was great. The kitchen gave everyone a box with lunch. The kitchen would not be fixing the regular lunch. Everyone was going back to their place until wedding time. Mom, Matthew, the kids and myself went back to our room and the ladies went back to their room.

When it came time for the wedding we all walked to the tent. I took the twins in a stroller over to the table we normally sat at when our at the pool. I didn’t feel it was appropriate to go to the wedding.  I sat and looked a everything thing. They had added another side to the wedding tent making it much bigger for more people. There was another tent that looked like 3 tents for the party. There were Japanese lanterns strung everywhere and decorations. There was a large blow up slide for the pool and a bunch of floaties for the pool. There was a bounce house for adults and a small one for the kids. There was a small tent labeled adults only. I peeked in. It had a bowling machine, a pin ball machine and game tables. At 2pm I saw a golf cart with Scott and Katrina. They had blindfolds over there faces. Everyone was wearing marital arts uniforms. Two of Matthew’s men helped the couple get out of the cart. Then they took the blindfolds off so Scott and Katarina could see everything.  You could tell they were really happy. The place looked amazing. Katarina hugged Matthew and said, thankyou and thankyou to everyone who did this. Scott went in the tent and Matthew put out his arm for Katarina. He took her inside. He was dressed in his martial arts uniform. I decided I would go back to our room and watch TV.  I didn’t want to do anything to distract from Scott’s big day. 

The Wedding 

Scott took his place up in front of Jean. Matthew walked Katarina down the aisle. Hunter was following and throwing flowers. The whole place was covered with flowers and decorations. Wyatt followed with Mom helping him carry the pillow with the rings. Cindy helped Hunter sit down and Jean started. Scott was looking at Katarina with such love that when Jean got to the part where Scott was to say something Jean had to get his attention. When Jean got to the part you may now kiss the bride. Scott kissed Katarina with such love. He then took her hand and the couple turned to the crowd. They both waved at the crowd. Everyone stood up and clapped.  The couple headed to the door and sitting on a golf cart that said just married. People were throwing rice. The cart drove a few feet to the party tent. Two men held back the door of the tent. The wedding planner was there and led them to the table with the cake. There were flowers, decorations, tables and a dance floor. When everyone got in the tent Scott said, Katarina and I want to thank all of you for making our day so wonderful. The wedding planner handed them the knife. They cut two pieces of cake. Then put down the knife and each fed a piece of cake to each other. Scott then cut several more pieces until the wedding planner took over and one of the wedding party led them to their table. A band started playing a song that the band had been told were the couple favorites. After every one was seated Scott and Katarina got up and started dancing. Everyone was watching this couple so in love. After a while Matthew asked to cut in. Matthew danced with her for a few minutes and then said, thankyou for making Scott’s life worth living. Katarina said, I could say the same of Scott. I never thought I would find someone, fall in love and marry. Scott showed and said, you have to give her back now. Matthew turned to Scott with a big smile and said, here you go. Matthew went and sat with Mom. After some partying and eating, the other couples in the wedding party took Scott and Katarina outside to show them the other things set up. The group spent quite a while in the adult game tent. Other people headed home after eating. One group of men moved the wedding presents to the Katarina’s room in the office. They also set up a table in her room with 2 chairs. They stocked the fridge with pink champagne, strawberries and snacks. They put flowers, a small chocolate fountain, a fruit basket and many other things in the suite. Scott, Katarina, the bridesmaids and best men all stayed and played games, went swimming and ate more. Scott and Katarina were so happy and everyone else was happy for them. The pool and the hot tub were off limits to any one between 10pm and 6am in the morning except Scott and Katarina. Finally Scott and Katarina said good night to everyone and went to Katarina room which was now the bridal suite.

When they went into the suite Scott and Katarina couldn’t believe their eyes. Their bed had silk sheets and beautiful towels. There was a note about how the pool and hot tub was reserved just for them at night. They shut the door and fell into each other’s arms for the night. The next night they quietly came out of their room wrapped in towels only. They were making their way to the gym. They heard something so they put their backs against the wall in the shadows. Katarina turned to her right and there was a guard against the wall next to her. She screamed. The guard said, I am sorry I frightened you. The guard stepped to the door and opened it for them. Katarina was laughing a little and said, I am sorry. The guard said, pay it no mind. You two have a good time. For a week food was delivered to their door. They went to the pool, the game tent, the bounce house and the hot tub having the time of their life with each other. People were whispering that Scott almost never smiled and now he was laughing and playing like a teen. This made everyone happy and a day they would all remember. 

Matthew and his men continued their training while they waited for the couple to return to work.

I was so happy with Matthew, the kids and my life. Matthew would be gone when I woke but would come back when he could. Even though he already looked really good. His workouts were starting to show. Boy did he look really good. He would say this exercise is really getting me in shape. I was getting flabby.
