CHAPTER FOUR: SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE

Mason

Once we are done and the wedding rehearsal is over, we head over to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse for the rehearsal dinner.

When dinner is over, Brea cries and Vincent tries to comfort her. I know it’s the emotions of the wedding. We all say our goodbyes and head home. Angel, Sara, and Brea are staying at Brea’s with Arturo, while Vincent and Donovan are staying at my place. Some rule about it being bad luck for the bride and groom to see each other before the wedding.

Angel texts me to let me know they have arrived home safely. Once we are home, Donovan opens a new bottle of Scotch.

“Here’s to the good life,” Donovan says, holding up his glass.

“Cheers,” Vincent and I say in unison as we clink our glasses together. We drink until the bottle is empty. Thank God for a late wedding tomorrow, I think to myself.

We wake up and nurse our hangovers until noon. Coffee and Tylenol make a sure fix. Once we are feeling better, we shower and get ready for the day. Vincent has some running around to do before the wedding. Vincent made some changes in the wedding plans and wants to surprise Brea. We shop at a few specialty shops to see if they can help him. He stops by Jared’s Jewelry Store to pick up Brea’s wedding gift from him and then he goes by Toys R Us to get a wedding gift for Arturo: a box set of 12 rattles. I can’t help but smile. They even gift-wrapped it for him in pale blue paper.

We shower and have a drink or two before heading to the Sarasota Botanical Gardens. Vincent tugs on his bowtie and stretches his neck side to side.

“You’re not choking, you know,” I say.

“I feel like I am.” He coughs and moves his head side to side again.

We arrive and see Brea’s car parked in the front. We begin to get out of the car, but Vincent doesn’t move. Donovan looks at me and I look at Vincent.

“What’s up?” I ask.

“It just dawned on me tonight I am marrying the woman of my dreams.”

“You are a lucky bastard,” I say in all seriousness.

He looks over and smiles. “I am, aren’t I?”

“Come on, let’s go so you can claim your girl,” Donovan says.

We walk to the reception center at the Botanical Gardens and are greeted by the preacher, Kenneth Kettlewell.

“Brea is already here,” he says, smiling.

“Is our son with her?”

“He is; would you like me to get him for you?”

“Please, I have missed him. I’ll also need someplace to change him, please.”

“We have a room set up for you and the male wedding party, just give me a minute.”

We walk around the reception area until we hear a baby’s cry coming from down the hall. Vincent disappears and returns with a crying Arturo. He holds him to his chest and kisses him. Vincent bounces him and then whispers something to him before humming “Old Man River.
