Chapter 11: The Reception

Finally, the official photos are over and everyone heads for the house where the ballroom, of course the manor has a ballroom, has been outlined with tables on three sides. At the front of the room is a long table with places for Brian and Justin at the center and all of their closest friends surrounding them. The two side walls are flanked with all the other guests. In the back is the table for gifts, one for the cake and a small bar with flowing champagne and other drinks. Dinner will be served restaurant style, so at each place setting is an elegant menu with meal options on it. All they have to do is circle their choices.

While they wait for the food to be prepared and served, the mistress of ceremonies, Emmett announces that it is time for Brian and Justin's first dance as a married couple. The song, of course, is 'Save the Last Dance for Me'. Brian takes Justin by the hand and leads him onto to the dance floor, where he proceeds to waltz him around the room. As he does this Justin starts to have flashes. He's at the Prom. He sees Brian walking to him from across the room. He sees Brian taking him in his arms. He sees himself looking at Brian as he wrapped his scarf around his neck. He remembers the dip. He remembers the … KISS. Oh what a kiss. That wasn't the kiss of a man who just wanted to fuck. That was the kiss of a man in love. He knew it.

"Brian…"

Brian notices more tears welling up in Justin's eyes. "Justin, what is it?"

"I remember. I remember it all. You really did love me then."

"What are you talking about? When?"

"Why didn't you tell me.? The prom, I remember my prom and the love I felt when you kissed me."

"Good, because I always want you to feel the way you did then. I always hated the fact that you couldn't remember that part, and at the same time I was happy that you didn't remember that asshole Hobbs hitting you."

"I can handle that or anything else as long as you love me. Your love can bring me through anything."

"I don't know why we didn't figure all this out before you went to New York. All that shit about not wanting the other to sacrifice. What the hell were we thinking?"

"I know. You can't have a real relationship without some level of sacrifice from both sides. Well, I'm glad we finally realized it."

"Me too, if you can believe it? There's just one other thing."

"What?"

"I Love you Sunshine and it doesn't feel weird anymore to say it."

"I'm glad and I love you too."

They kiss fervently and finish their dance. Then Justin dances with his mother while Brian dances with Debbie. Then they switch partners and after that everyone is invited to join them on the dance floor.

Michael and Daphne both give a toast. Everyone enjoys their dinner. They had their choice between filet mignon and gilled mahi mahi, with steamed vegetable and garlic mashed potatoes on the side.

Emmett calls for the cutting of the cake. It is a four layer cake made with four types of rich decedent Swiss chocolate and piped with a luscious white buttercream icing. Brian and Justin grasp the knife together and cut the first slice. Brian gently places a small piece in Justin's mouth but is sure to swipe a nice streak of icing across his lips, so he has something to lick off. Justin returns the favor but 'accidentally' misses brains mouth with the icing and it lands on his neck.

"Sorry, let me get that" and he proceeds to suck the icing from his neck. Brian's cock is awakened, by this and he whispers to Justin, "Are you about ready Sunshine? We still have a honeymoon to get to."

"A honeymoon, I hadn't even thought about that. Where are we going?"

"Where have you always wanted to go?"

"You mean we are actually going to go to Ibiza?"

"That's right dear. I rented us a bungalow right on the beach. You can practically roll right out of bed and onto the white sand. My travel agent says that it is very exclusive, and he is certain we will have a fantastic time."

"It sounds amazing. When do we leave?"

"Our flight leaves at midnight. I've got our bags all packed, in the car. We need to be there at least an hour before the flight. If we get there early we can make out in the VIP lounge."

"I'll let Emmett know."

Emmett tells everyone to line up for the tossing of the bouquet. Justin makes sure that everyone knows that no matter who catches, it goes back to him. He always wants a reminder of the lengths Brian went to, in order to make his dreams come true.

He tosses the bouquet and it is caught by Ted who receives a sly wink from Blake.

Everyone heads outside to throw rice (Brian said, "fuck the birds") at the happy couple as they depart for their honeymoon. Brian and Justin race for the waiting limousine which has been decorated with the words 'Just Married, but still Queer' on the window. Instead of cans, there are a couple dozen dildos, of various sizes and colors, hanging off the back.

Brian opens the door for Justin and they both get in. They roll down the window and wave goodbye to all of their family and friends. The limo takes off to escort them to their happily ever after.

Or so they thought.

There was going to be another chapter, possibly more. I have decided to make it a sequel instead. If all you ever wanted was to see Brian and Justin get married or know that they went on to live happily ever after, please DO NOT read the sequel when it is published. There will be happiness and sadness in it.
