Looks Over Substance

“That wasn’t so bad,” Christian said to Evan when they were sitting at the table under the tent. It was low eighties out, but cloudy and fans were going in the tents overhead. He had a cold beer in front of him and the food would be out soon.

“I never thought it would be,” he told his brother.

“You never liked doing things like this before.”

“We’ve been to two weddings. Whitney’s and Kaelyn’s. Both were a much bigger production than this was. To me this is a backyard picnic in style. There are only about fifty people here, if that.”

“You’re right. I left my tie in my truck when I saw a few other people not wearing them.”

“I told you you wouldn’t need it,” Evan said, not sure what was going on with his brother lately.

“As long as Grandma and Grandpa didn’t do too much, that is all I care about. They are getting up there in age.”

“Don’t say that too loudly,” he said. “Neither of them wants to admit it. But you know damn well Grandma was probably loving telling people what to do and where to go yesterday setting it all up.”

“No,” Christian said. “That would be Grandpa. Grandma has been all over the caterers.”

He laughed. “They are enjoying it.” He looked out into the yard and saw Maddie running around chasing their two French Bulldogs that had stood at the altar with the bride and groom and children too. He had to admit it was a nice sight.

“What are you two boys talking about?” his brother-in-law, Harris, said coming over to sit down. He’d been walking around with Scarlet while Kaelyn was talking with Shannon and Whitney. But now he was solo.

“Where’s my niece?”

“With her grandparents. No one can get her when they are around. When are you two going to man up and add to the family?”

Christian laughed. “Please. No woman wants Evan, and I don’t have time.”

“No woman wants to spend time in your living situation,” Harris said to Christian. “How do you breathe in those places?”

“It’s not bad,” Christian said. “It’s just cluttered.”

“Cluttered,” Evan said. “You had no sink in your bathroom for weeks. Just a toilet and shower stall.”

“I washed my hands in the shower when I was done,” he said. “I’m not a slob.”

“No woman wants to live like that,” Harris repeated. “You’re a lost cause. You too, Evan. Not unless you can learn to smile once in a while.”

There was a time he wanted to throw his brother-in-law through a wall when he found out Harris was making time with his sister. He’d thought Harris was using Kaelyn to pass the time while he figured out the next stage of his life when his baseball career was over.

And then when they found out Kaelyn was pregnant, all hell broke loose in his eyes.

Kaelyn was thrilled once she and Harris made up after a fight they’d had. Harris was even more excited over it. His parents were sailing over the moon.

But he and Christian had only seen their baby sister was going to have a child and not be married.
