A/N: Quadruple drabble.
Drake and JJ’s wedding was far more lavish than the one Dee and Ryo had enjoyed in Las Vegas. That had been a simple ceremony, pared down to the absolute essentials, none of the bells and whistles, but it had suited them. Someday, maybe, they’d renew their vows in a slightly more extravagant celebration, with their family and friends in attendance, but there was no pressing need. They had the official paperwork, that was what mattered.
A simple ceremony was never going to be enough for JJ though; he’d wanted it all. The flowers, the music, the matching suits as well as matching rings, the massive party afterwards with more food than the guests could possibly eat… Any leftovers would be donated to homeless shelters, because wasting good food was unthinkable, but JJ, never one to do anything by halves, had wanted to make certain none of the guests would go home hungry.
Still, the ceremony itself had been beautiful, and Ryo wasn’t ashamed to admit that he’d shed a few happy tears. Even Dee had looked a little misty-eyed. JJ’s mom and sisters had all been sobbing into their lace handkerchiefs by the time the happy couple completed their vows and slid the rings onto each other’s fingers.
The cake had been cut some time ago, everyone had eaten as much as they could manage, and most of the adults present were varying degrees of drunk, but nothing had gone seriously wrong, and the reception was finally winding down. Drake and JJ, wrapped in each other’s arms, were still swaying in the middle of the dancefloor, oblivious to everyone else, looking blissfully happy.
“Are ya sorry we didn’t have a big party like this?” Dee asked his husband, who was watching the happy couple and smiling dreamily.
“Like this? No. For one thing, we never could’ve afforded anything so lavish, and for another, you saw how stressed Drake and JJ got with all the planning.”
“Yeah, if you hadn’t given them a hand ironin’ out all the details, I think Drake would’a had a nervous breakdown.”
“Friends help each other. Besides, I still had some contacts from when I helped Diana and Berkeley organise their wedding.”
“I doubt either one would’a gone so smoothly without all the hard work ya put in.”
“It wasn’t that hard.”
“I’ll take your word for it. So, ya wanna dance?”
“With you? Always.”
The End
