Chapter 6
This was Danny’s time to meet the family. All the Monroe-McKays. It felt weird, being the only New Yorker there. He felt different, all the country accents and his provocative New York drawl.
“Hey, look! It’s Lindsay!” yelled one of Lindsay’s younger cousins. “Lindsay!!!!” they all yelled, wrapping their tiny hands around her white silk shirt.
“Hiya, kiddos!”
“Hey, everyone! Danny and I have an announcement to make. As you know, I went to New York two years ago. On my first day on the job, I met this wonderful man. Sure, at first he was cocky,” She laughed a little, “but he was the most amazing man. I’d like to share with you all that after a year and a half of dating, I am engaged to Danny Messer.”
Happy cheers erupted from the dining room table. The youngest of the generation was to be married to the man of her dreams. Lindsay held Danny’s hand, and she thought of the wedding. She wanted it to be in a cathedral in New York, St. John the Divine Cathedral, to be exact. It was a cathedral of amazing architecture, almost like the one Lindsay imagined when she was younger, where she was going to be married.
As
Lindsay’s family began to cheer for a kiss, Lindsay’s thoughts were interrupted by Danny’s sweet whispers.
“Lindsay. Shall we?” he asked.
“We shall.” She said, with a sneaky smile.
Danny wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her close. She lightly kissed him on the lips. Danny realized that Lindsay’s family wasn’t uptight about her meeting a New York man. Nor were they uptight about the marriage at all. And Danny was grateful for that, because next week, it was back to New York to tell his parents about the engagement.
“Mommy, this is Lindsay, my soon-to-be-wife.”
“Pleased to meet you, Mrs. Messer.”
Mrs. Messer smiled, happy that her boy had gotten a nice girl. Soon after the meeting, Papa Messer walked in. He was the same built as Danny, even the same face, just more aged. When he saw Lindsay, He congratulated his son on finding such a beautiful woman.
This meant that with both of the parents’ approval, they were off to plan their wedding.
