| "Ready kids?" Dave asked smiling. "I'm ready Tay..." Jess said softly. "No one can ruin this day for me." "Okay Dave..let's go..and then tell Keith he can go home..." I said and Jess squeezed my hand. "Thank you.." she whispered as dave looked at me questioningly. "I'll explain when we get inside.." I said and he nodded. "Let's get inside then." he said and got out of the car, the driver going with him to come around and open my door. Dave and Gary cleared a path as I got out of the car and gave my beautiful bride a hand out. She stepped out of the car, smiling and linked her arm through mine. Amidst the camera flashes we heard the screams of die hard fans trying to get our attention. "Tay.." she squeezed my arm and slowed, turning herself and me to the crowd gently. I smiled down at her and then looked out at the crowd. Almost as if we were one person, we waved to them, smiled as the screams got louder, and then followed Dave and Gary quickly inside. Jess linked her arm through mine and as we approached the doorway to room, the DJ began announcing the members of the wedding party. "And now presenting, Mr. and Mrs. TAYLOR HANSON..." a familiar voice boomed out of the sound system. Jess and I entered the room, our eyes still on each other. We looked up and smiled and waved in response to the applause and then Jess let out a very shocked, "Oh my god...DREW!!!!!", making me pat her arm and laugh out loud. "Surprise, baby.." I grinned. |
| TAYLOR: "You did that?" Jess looked wide-eyed and smiling at me. "Uh-huh." I grinned. "It only seemed RIGHT Jess. Technically he DID introduce us.." "Yes. You are absolutely right." she smiled up at me and then let go of my arm to give Drew a huge bear hug. "Hello there sweetie.." he laughed, and then held her away from him to look at her. "Funny," he grinned. "You don't LOOK like and old married lady.." "Oh shut up Drew.." she giggled and hugged him again. "I'm glad you could make it." she said. "Wouldn't have missed it, kiddo. Always like to see the results of my handiwork.." he puffed his chest out and buffed his fingernails on his jacket. "Oh sure...like you planned it.." she rolled her eyes. I cleared my throat, "I think that's MY wife you're monopolizing there, dude.." I grinned. "Taylor, congratulations, man!" he shook my hand roughly, with a huge smile. "Had to go and steal the best-lookin' woman in a 50 mile radius of me though..I should kick your ass or my own..not sure which.." he laughed. "Thanks I think.." I said. "No problem, man..now to get to the festivities.." he said and took over the microphone again, becoming a great help to Jake and Abbey, who had their hands full with their double-duty this evening. |
| JESSIE: After dinner, Drew announced all the traditional dances, which was good, because Jake and Abbey would have had a hard time, dancing and announcing themselves. I was so glad that Tay, with some help from Jake, thought of it. This reception was alot bigger than I had envisioned, and was sort of overwhelming for me. I had to control another fit of giggles when, after dancing with Walker, Drew made sure to call Jake and Abbey to dance with Tay and I, in place of a set of parents for me. Jake took it good naturedly, making sure to tease me mercilessly later on. Then came time for all the traditional games, which made me smile, remembering Ike and Lacey's wedding. When I tossed the boquet, Abbey was the one to catch it and I couldn't resist winking at her. "Okay all you single guys...time for the garter toss...front and center fellas.." Drew called out and Ike brought a chair over for me to sit on. Tay gave me a hand as I sat, his eyes twinkling. I grinned up at him as I extended my leg and hiked my dress up, as Drew played an instrumental version of "Love Spreads". Taylor knelt down in front of me, and gave me a wicked grin as he scooted closer to me, placing his hands on my thighs. I felt the blood rush to my face, and my body heat up, though I couldn't help but laugh, when Tay removed one of his hands from my leg and take off my shoe. He put his hand back on my thigh and bent his head, grabbing hold of the garter with his teeth. "Oh....my....GOD!" I giggled, feeling the heat spread through my body as his lips brushed my skin and he removed the garter from my leg completely with his teeth. There was loud applause and whistling, as Tay held it up and swung it on his finger triumphantly, letting out a loud whoop of victory. I laughed and shook my head as he gave me a hand up and I slipped my shoe back on. I stood back and watched as he faced me and tossed it, backwards, over his head. He quickly joined me, taking my hand as we watched the scramble, ending in another wrestling match between Jake and Zac. We both laughed in surprise as Zac emerged the winner from that battle, letting out a similar whoop as Tay's. He swung it on his finger, winked at me, and then slid it on his arm over his suit jacket. The rest of the evening was spent dancing, laughing, drinking and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Tay had gone to get us something to drink, when I noticed that I didn't see Watts anywhere, but Zac was standing directly in front of me. |
| "Oh, Zac. The spare set of keys to my car is in my desk. have Jakey let you in to get them and you can drive it while Tay and I are gone." I told him. "Are you sure Jess? I mean.." he stammered, the grinned. "OF course Zac. No sense in you car shopping now..you have to g back out on the road soon. May as well wait 'till you'll be home a while. I certainly don't need it." "Thanks Jess... it's so cool of you...couldn't ask for a better..." he stopped when I held up my hand. "Zac? Where's Wattley?" I asked and he looked around. "She said she was going to the ladies room, but she usually doesn't take as long as most women.." "Shit Zac. Go get Jake..I don't see Keith anywhere either.." I said jumping up. "Jess wait..if she WENT with him.." Zac started. "BULLSHIT ZAC!" I yelled. "There's no WAY! She and I talked a long time last night..now get Jake and I'll find Dave. Tay told him to send Keith home..." I said and headed for the door. |
