*Pt. 27*

The nite of the 31st of August, the guys took Jeff into Atlanta to a strip club, Jimmy & Chris would be at the party later, at Jesses house-

The girls spent the nite with Ashley at her Moms, finishing up the last of the rice pouches, talking about the wedding and what the guys were probably up to-

The guys started to watch the srippers, but got kicked out when Jeff got carded, {he wouldn't be 18 until the next May} so they went to Jesses where the party was just getting started- Jesse had gotten one of Kammies friends to come by to strip, she was dressed as a Candy stipper, doing a little dance for each guy, but when she got to Jeff, she really put it on- she only stripped down to her panties, shaking her boobs in his face-
After, she was dressed & ready to leave, she kissed Jeffs cheek,
"If things don't work out with Miss Ashley, give me a call-" he laughed, a little buzzed,
"Thanks Tisha, but I'm gonna be happily married-" she smiled,
"Good luck-" she left, Jimmy said,
"Damn, she's hot ! Don't you fuckin' think ?" Jeff shrugged,
"Yeah, I guess, she's just not my type-" Jesse cut in,
"Every chcik is MY type !" Tisha was this tall, blonde, they talked about her for awhile, Jeff was thinking about Ashley-

The girls sat around in Ashleys room, talking about the guys- Jada was asking Brandy if she & Jimmy were messing around yet- Brandy smiled,
"We do stuff-" Jada laughed,
" 'Stuff'?! What exactly ?" Brandy shrugged,
"You know-" Jaime Sue cut in,
"They haven't done 'it'-" she glanced at Brandy, "They're waiting-" Ashley asked,
"What about you & Chris ?" Jaime not to know what she was talking about,
"Chris ? Whatta ya mean ?" Ashley smiled,
"You're both so obvious-" Jaime just shrugged-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, things were hectic from the minute Ashley woke up- Her Mom was running around between the 2 houses- The Ceremony was going to take place at the Grandparents house, the gazeebo had been saved, repaired, the wild roses still covering it, a new pathway had been made from the house to the gazeebo out of flagstone stepping stones, arches every few feet along the path for more wild roses, decorated for the occasion with streamers of hot pink, silver and burgundy-
The Reception was going to take place at Ashleys Parents house, so Adrian was back & forth making sure everything was done-

Ashleys Wedding Dress was made of Velvet- low cut, halter type starps that fastened behind her neck, the waist tight, the skirt full & flowing, long in the back- no shoes-
Jeffs suit was Burgundy, his shirt was light silver, the rose on his lapel was silver-
Ashleys crown of roses was made with babies breath, bright pink roses, deep red roses and silver roses, ribbons hanging from it in the back in the asme colors, her bouquet was the same-
The Bridesmaids Dresses were milky pink, the bouquets, silver and pink, Jada, being the Maid of Honor, wore a silver dress with accents of burgundy- All the dresses were off the shoulder, no sleeves, tight waist, full skirts- Jadas bouquet was the same as the bridesmaids with a couple of deep red roses-

Ashley hadn't eaten all day, too nervous, butterflies in her stomach- About 30 mintutes before she was supposed to be at the Grandparents house, her Dad came in tp her room & asked the girls to give him a few minutes with Ashley-
She was sitting at the edge of her bed, he leaned on the dresser,
"Sweetheart, this is one of the biggest days of Your Life. I've talked with Jeff and I know he truely loves you. And I'm confident he'll take good care of you. I just want you to always know Mom & I are here if you need Us. Don't be too proud to aske for help if you need it." Ashleys eyes teared up,
Daddy, you work too hard, I wouldn't-" he held up a hand,
"Angel, I like what I do. Don't you worry about it. Promise me you won't hesitate if you need anything" she nodded, getting up & hugging him,
"Thank you Daddy." he left the room and the girls came back in, getting her ready to head over to the other house- Adrian looked at her, smiling,
"Baby, You are SO beautiful." Ashley smiled,
"Thanks Momma."
"I love You."
"I love You to Momma." her Mom kissed her and wet to take her seat, the girls went to the living room to wait- the music started & Ashleys Dad took her hand, placing it on his arm, she looked up at him, he looked so proud-
Jaime Sue went out, then Brandy & Jada, then Ashley & her Dad-
Ashley looked down the path, she couldn't see Jeff yet, but as soon as she did, their eyes met & her eyes teared up-
Chris was best Man, Tom & Jesse were standing too-
When they got to the end of the isle, her Dad looked into her eyes, giving her a kiss and handing her hand to Jeff. Jeff bowed his head slightly in respect & held onto her hand-
They looked at the Preacher who started the Ceremony. It was traditional.
When they said their vows to eachother, they both had tears, it was the first time she saw her Wedding Ring, it was silver with a small green peridot (Ashleys birthstone) a small emerald, (Jeffs birthstone) and a small diamond- Jeffs Ring was silver with designs carved into it-
Ashley had tears running down, Jeff squeezed her hand-
When they kissed, everyone threw rice as they hurried down the isle to the house-
Thay went inside, hugging eachother, Jeff said,
"Ash, you're so beautiful-" she pulled back & looked at him,
"And you are SO handsome-" he rolled his eyes,
"We better get outside-" she nodded, kissing him again, they went out & everyone congradulated them, they did all the photographs, then got in their cars & met up at her Parents house-
Once there, they changed clothes, it was too damn hot- Ashley put on levis and a halter top, everyone was pretty casual now-

Everyone was drinking, even Brandy & Jaime drank a beer, (special occasion) Ashley went inside to use the restroom, (everyone was partying outside) when she came out, Jesse was there, she miled,
"Hey Jess-" he grinned,
"so, how's married Life Ash ?" she laughed,
"Beats me ! I'll tell you in a couple years-"
"Yeah-" she looked at him,
"What's up Jesse ?"
"Ah, I just wanted to tell you I'm happy for You. You guys are good for eachother." she stared,
"Really ?"
"Yeah. I probably wouldn'ta been that great a boyfriend- tom cattin' around-" she didn't think so,
"Maybe- You never expected we'd get married anyway, did you ?" he shrugged,
"I don't know- I guess I never thought that far ahead." he paused, "I just want for you to be happy...& I can see you are-" she hugged him,
"You'll always be special Jess-"
"You too darlin'-"

A couple hours later, Ashley & Jeff left for their honeymoon-
