The way it should be....
I am totally new at this so please be gentle.....I needed a distraction after reading too many "spoilers" or rumors that are causing me to go stir crazy waiting for Wednesday to come. I just want a happy ending so I started to write never really planning on sharing but here it is....
“Thank you for sharing this day with us, our friends....family” Pepa announced while standing with her hand tightly around Silvia’s waist under the archway lined with pristine white flowers. The hand that is wrapped around Pepa’s waist tightens as Pepa slowly turns and kisses her wife once again. She can feel Silvia sigh after the kiss ends and they stare into each others eyes. Fear no longer lingers in their eyes, the fear that captured doubts of first kissing in a bathroom, fear that was confessed at a crime scene, the fear of words unspoken that tore the two souls apart briefly before discovering that they belong together.
The moment is broken with a car driving much faster that anyone expects pulling up along side the group of happy guests. Still unable to see who is in the car with tinted windows. The group is engulfed in a wide spread uneasiness until the door opens.
“Lucas!” Silvia proclaims with a surprised smile. She begins to walk closer to the car still not letting go of Pepa. Paco with a knowing smile looks at Sara which is returned but with concern as she looks into the eyes of Aitor. Aitor not knowing how to take in this new development steps back not wanting to be too close to Sara while trying not to make eye contact.
Lucas now out of the car and is walking closer to Silvia and Pepa with his arms wrapped around two obvious gifts.
“Hello redhead - you didn’t expect me?” Lucas quickly scans the crowd looking for Paco and Marino knowing fully that his two comrades knew of his plans of attending the wedding, even though he expected to be late.
Paco stumbling over his words and sighs while he walks closer announcing that he wanted it to be a surprise. Paco reaches Lucas and embraces him with a hug. Lucas now looking towards the group within the embrace finally finds what his eyes have been searching for since arriving, his wife Sara. He quickly lets go of Paco and hands the two brides the gifts. He turns with a hesitant look in his eye as he finds Aitor much closer to Sara than he would like him to be.
Sara not breaking eye contact with Lucas walks forward into his arms and kiss. It is short lived as Lucas recognizes sounds behind him of Pepa ripping the ribbon surrounding the gift.
“You really didn’t have to open them now.” Pepa is now looking down into a box rifles and ammunition.
“You shouldn’t have - just what we needed to furnish our house.” Pepa shows Silvia whats in the box. With a quick look she laughs and looks at Lucas who is a little uneasy but says “the smaller box is for the both of you, lets head inside for a fiesta that I know that is planned and I’ll explain.”
The group walks inside the beautifully decorated building with a long solid table as the main focus of the room. Don Lorenzo heads towards the head of the table with ease. Silvia and Pepa look at each other and then to Pepa’s father in law as the group finds their seats.
“My two daughters...” he gives Pepa a wink meant for just her but Silvia smiles seeing the new connection between the most important people in her life.
“Today begins your life together as a married couple, a unit with dual purpose in this life. Soul mates with a connection that was made many years ago when you both were so young. I saw this connection with great fear and misunderstanding. I did not understand it at the time but I learned a great lesson in love and life. There is no greater bond as you both begin a path that is made for the two of you....”
Silvia and Pepa both have tears in their eyes and secretly have a knowing understanding that this moment will be kept in their hearts as much as the speech given by Don Lorenzo, when he found them in the cabin.
As he takes each of their hands and holds them together. “May your love flourish and bring you great happiness.” The group stands and claps with enthusiastic cheers. Don Lorenzo leans over to Pepa whispering so only Pepa can hear and says “You are now at the head of the table in my Silvias life.”
