Part Three
As they led the way towards the marquee Ryan held on tightly to his husband's hand, feeling as if he was walking on air. Mac, Sam, Claire, and Luke were behind them, talking and laughing. He looked down when he felt a small hand slip into his free one and smiled at Claire who was beaming up at him.
When Colin and Ryan reached the marquee entrance, they turned to greet all the guests who were heading towards the reception while the kids went inside. Drew reached them first, followed by Greg.
"Congratulations you two," he grinned, giving them both a hug, "you finally did it."
"Yeah," Ryan smiled, squeezing Colin's hand, "we did."
"And it only took you...what....twenty years?" Greg smirked, hugging them.
Ryan shrugged and said, "Better late than never," as Wayne and Brad came up grinning.
"Hey, congratulations guys. I'm so happy for you" Wayne said. Brad grabbed Colin in a bear hug and Ryan glared at him as he thanked Wayne.
"Ok Brad, I need to be able to breathe," Colin joked, patting him on the back.
"Hey Brad, would you put my husband down please?" Ryan growled.
Brad grinned and released Colin. "I think someone else needs a hug too" he smirked, throwing his arms around Ryan who shoved him off quickly and rolled his eyes.
Colin and Ryan spent the next ten minutes greeting everyone and receiving congratulations, Ryan never once letting go of Colin's hand. They were glad so many people had made it, including old friends from Second City and even a few from the UK Whose Line cast (Josie Lawrence and Stephen Frost had flown over especially).
Once all the guests were inside and seated, Drew stood up and called for everyone's attention.
"Ok everyone, let's hear it for the happy couple...Ryan and Colin."
Everyone applauded, whistling and cheering, as Ryan and Colin walked hand in hand up to the top table, smiling and waving.
The next hour was spent eating, drinking, talking, and laughing as everyone shared memories and stories. Ryan and Colin chatted to those on either side of them, never letting go of each other. Ryan kept looking down at his ring as if to convince himself that it was real. At the end of the meal, Drew stood up and tapped his glass to draw everyone's attention.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he began as the room fell silent, "I have the honor of being Ryan's best man and it is therefore my duty to start the toasts......and to tell you all embarrassing stories about Colin and Ryan." A few people laughed at Ryan's "don't you dare" expression before Drew continued. "Before I get to that, however, I must raise a toast to the beautiful bridesmaides who, I'm sure you'll agree, did their dad proud today." There was a murmur of agreement as everyone raised their glasses to Mac, who looked embarrassed, and Claire who beamed from her place on Colin's lap as he dropped a kiss on the top of her head.
"I'd also like to toast the ushers and honorary best men, Sam and Luke, who have performed their duties admirably today," Drew said, raising his glass in their direction as they smiled.
"Now back to the grooms. What can I say about Ryan and Colin?" Drew continued, grinning wickedly at them.
"Drew..." Ryan warned in a low voice as Colin chuckled and shook his head.
Drew smiled, holding up his hands, and said, "Ok, ok," as there was scattered laughter. "To be serious for a moment though," he continued, "I have the good fortune to call them both close friends of mine and I can honestly say that I've never met two people more perfect for one another. I know they've both been through a lot to get to this day and I couldn't be happier for them. So I raise my glass to the happy couple." He turned to face them before saying, "May the unhappiest day of your future be no worse than the most joyous day of your past. To Ryan and Colin."
Everyone raised their glasses, saying, "Ryan and Colin," and took a sip before applauding. Colin and Ryan smiled and thanked Drew.
"Now let's hear from Colin's best man, Greg," Drew finished, sitting down as everyone clapped again.
"Thank you Drew," Greg said getting to his feet, "Yes, I'm the other best man.......the good looking, funny one."
He paused while everyone laughed and Drew glared at him. "But seriously," he continued, pushing his glasses up, "I, along with many of you, have watched these two dance around their feelings for years and I'm very happy that this day has finally arrived. I wish them all the happiness in the world as they start their new life together." He looked at them and raised his glass. "May you both live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live. To Colin and Ryan."
Once everyone had finished the toast Greg said, "Now I believe Ryan would like to say a few words," before sitting down. Ryan got to his feet, clearing his throat.
"I'd just like to say a few thank you's, first to Drew and Greg for agreeing to be our best men and doing such a great job." He paused while everyone clapped. "I'd also like to thank our children for their love and support, it means the world to us." They both smiled at the kids before he continued. "Thirdly, I want to say a huge thank you to all of you for coming. Some of you have travelled a long way to be here and we are so happy that you could all share our special day with us." Colin nodded in agreement beside him.
"Lastly, to the wonderful man sitting on my left," Ryan said, smiling down at Colin, "I want to say thank you for making me the happiest man in the world today."
There was a chorus of, "Aw," around the room, followed by applause, as Ryan sat down and Colin kissed him gently.
Drew stood up again. "Ok, you'll be pleased to hear that there are no more speeches," he grinned. "Now it's time for music and the newly wed's first dance."
Everyone clapped and whistled as Ryan took Colin's hand and led him onto the dance floor. They wrapped their arms around each other, Colin laying his head on Ryan's shoulder, as the song began.
Every time our eyes meet
this feeling inside me
is almost more than I can take
baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
and it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
it just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
with you by my side
forever and ever
every little thing that you do
baby I'm amazed by you.....
As the song continued Ryan and Colin swayed slowly with their eyes closed, forgetting about everything else except the feel of each other. When the song finished, Colin raised his head and pulled Ryan into a passionate kiss as several people wolf-whistled. They broke apart, grinning, as the music changed and more people started dancing.
The next few hours were spent dancing, chatting, and drinking. After an exhausting dance with Mac, Ryan flopped down into a chair beside Greg, Kathy, and Wayne, and grabbed a much needed drink.
"Can't keep up with the youngsters Ry?" Greg smirked as Ryan took a mouthful of drink and flipped his middle finger up with a grin.
"Colin seems to be doing alright though," Wayne said, smiling.
Colin was in the middle of the dance floor with Claire. The four of them turned to watch as Colin swung Claire around and up into his arms. She shrieked with laughter and clung on to him tightly as he grinned and continued to dance. Ryan's heart swelled at the scene.
"It's nice that Colin gets on so well with your children," Kathy said.
Ryan smiled and shrugged. "Well he's known them since they were babies so he's always been like a favourite uncle," he explained. "It was still tricky when we started dating though, especially for Mac. It took time for her to adjust to the situation but she got through it and now fully supports us."
The sound of laughter made them all turn to see Brad and Chip doing a drunken tango across the dance floor as the other dancers hastily moved out of their way. Ryan shook his head as the others chuckled.
"What about Luke?" Wayne asked, continuing the conversation.
"According to Col, Luke knew about us before we did," Ryan laughed, "and he was fine with it."
"Along with half the population of the US," Greg said, grinning. "Remember all the letters that got sent in to the show about you two? I'm not surprised......some of the stunts you pulled."
"Yeah, remember the boa constrictor?" Wayne laughed.
"Oh man, I'm never gonna forget that one," Greg said, shaking his head.
Ryan laughed. "Ok, so maybe we did get a bit carried away sometimes."
"A bit?" Greg asked, raising his eyebrows and smirking as Colin came up behind Ryan with a finger to his lips.
"What can I say?" Ryan replied with a shrug, "I've always loved him, it just took we a while to realise how much. I only hope I can make him as happy as he's made me."
"You can," Colin said as he slid his arms around Ryan's neck, making him jump, and everyone smiled.
"How long have you been standing there Col?" Ryan asked, turning his head.
Colin shrugged. "Long enough," he replied, giving Ryan a kiss. "It's getting late and Claire's exhausted so Mac's taking her up to bed."
"Ok, I'll go say goodnight," Ryan said getting to his feet. As he went to find her he bumped into Robert.
"Hey, congratulations again," Robert said smiling.
"Thanks Rob," Ryan grinned, giving him a hug, "it really means a lot to me that you're here."
"Well I can see that what you two have is special," Robert replied, "don't ever let it go."
"I don't intend to. Listen, I've got to go and say goodnight to Claire so I'll catch up with you later ok?"

Half an hour later, Colin was walking around the marquee trying to find Ryan who seemed to have vanished. He went over to Brad and Jeff.
"Hey, have you guys seen Ryan anywhere?" he asked.
"Lost him already Col?" Brad grinned, slinging an arm around his shoulders.
"Ha ha," Colin replied sarcastically, "no, he was here a minute ago."
"Sorry Col, I haven't seen him for a while," Brad slurred, taking another swig of beer.
"The last time I saw him was about ten minutes ago," Jeff said, "he was talking to Josie."
"Ok, I'll keep looking. He's got to be around here somewhere," Colin sighed as he moved away.
As he walked along the edge of the marquee a hand shot in through a gap and grabbed his arm, pulling him outside into the darkness. The protest on his lips was silenced by a finger as his back was pressed against a firm chest and kisses were trailed down his neck from behind.
"That had better be you Ry," Colin smirked. A deep chuckle sent vibrations through his chest.
"Who else would it be Col?" Ryan said, biting his neck gently.
"With the amount of alcohol being consumed in there, you never know," Colin replied, turning around to face his new husband and smiling.
"Come with me," Ryan grinned, suddenly grabbing Colin's hand and dragging him off into the gardens. It was a warm night and when the moon appeared from behind a cloud the soft light gave everything an ethereal glow. Ryan kept pulling Colin's hand until the sounds from the party had faded to a dim rumble. Then he turned and said, "I couldn't wait another minute," before pushing Colin up against a tree and kissing him passionately. Colin groaned and opened his mouth, deepening the kiss as they both ran their hands over each other, desperate for more. After several minutes Ryan pulled back, panting and flushed, and Colin whimpered at the loss, his eyes still closed.
Ryan chuckled before swooping down and quickly freeing Colin from his increasingly tight pants and boxers. Colin barely had time to register what Ryan was doing before he felt his erection suddenly surrounded by warmth as Ryan took his entire length into his mouth. His eyes flew open and he gasped at the sensation, trying to resist the urge to thrust, as Ryan began sucking and swirling his tongue across the velvety skin. He ran his fingers through Ryan's hair as he squeezed his eyes shut and lost all coherent thought.
"Oh.....God," Colin groaned as Ryan started to slide his shaft in and out of his mouth, holding onto the base of it with one hand while cupping his balls gently with the other. Colin knew he wasn't going to last long and, after only a few minutes, felt the familiar stirrings in his groin.
"Ry......fuck....so close," Colin gasped as Ryan sped up his ministrations, sensing Colin's impending release. Colin's fingers tightened in Ryan's hair as he went rigid, before exploding down Ryan's throat with a shout. Ryan continued to swallow as Colin shuddered and panted, coming back down from the height of ectasy.
Ryan pulled Colin's boxers and pants back up and stood up to kiss Colin deeply.
"Wow," Colin smiled as he pulled back, still breathing heavily, "that was so good."
"It was my pleasure," Ryan grinned, leaning forward to kiss him again. With a sudden burst of strength Colin reversed their positions and grinned wickedly. "My turn," he said before ripping Ryan's pants down and freeing his straining erection, delighted to find he wasn't wearing any underwear.
"You know we should really get back. People will be wondering where we've got to," Ryan grinned.
"I'd better make this quick then," Colin replied in a low sexy voice, flicking his tongue out over Ryan's weeping head.
Ryan moaned and bucked wildly. Colin smirked before diving forward and taking him right to the back of his throat, sucking hungrily.
"Oh fuck," Ryan gasped, throwing his head back. Colin knew exactly how to bring him to the edge quickly and he felt his orgasm approaching fast.
"Col.....I'm gonna...." Ryan warned before he cried out and Colin felt the warm stickiness slide down his throat as he swallowed. He licked Ryan clean before refastening his pants and getting to his feet. Ryan had his eyes closed as he leant against the tree, looking flushed and completely sated. Colin grinned as Ryan opened his eyes slowly and pulled him into a gentle kiss.
"Have I told you how much I love you?" Ryan asked as he pulled back and rested their foreheads together.
"Once or twice," Colin replied smiling. "Come on, we'd better get back."
Ryan groaned. "Do we have to?"
Colin laughed and stepped back, holding out his hand. "Yes," he replied, "but we only need to stay for a while....then we can take full advantage of the honeymoon suite." He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.
"I like the sound of that," Ryan grinned, taking his hand and beginning to walk, "although I'm not sure if I'll be able to carry you over the threshold with my back."
"That's ok," Colin said, "I love you despit your decrepitude."
"Hey!" Ryan protested as Colin laughed and ran back towards the marquee. Ryan quickly took off after him with a grin.

A little while later, Ryan opened the door to the hotel's honeymoon suite and led Colin inside. Colin had a brief view of the expensively decorated room before Ryan dived in for a hungry kiss and started unbuttoning his shirt. They continued to kiss, while slowly removing each other's clothes, until they stood completely naked, their erections brushing against each other. Ryan stepped back with a smile and guided Colin towards the bed, laying him down gently.
Whereas earlier it had been all about need and release, this time it was about making love. They took the time to leisurely explore each other's bodies; kissing, nibbling, teasing, and licking every contour. Finally, Colin couldn't take any more and pulled Ryan into a passionate kiss before saying softly, "I need you inside me." Ryan smiled, kissing him again, and said, "Your wish is my command."
Colin hooked his legs around Ryan's waist as he slid gently inside him, both of them closing their eyes and moaning at the incredible feeling of being truly one. Ryan opened his eyes and looked down at his husband beneath him, who was flushed and breathing heavily, before whispering, "I love you so much Col." Colin opened his eyes and smiled back at him. "And I love you Ry," he said, reaching up to pull him into a kiss as Ryan began to move.
Colin gasped, throwing his head back, and Ryan began kissing down his throat as he found his rhythm, delighting in the moans coming from his husband. Colin reached up and pulled Ryan closer, urging him deeper, and Ryan complied, angling his hips to find that sweet spot that he knew would drive Colin wild. He knew he'd found it when Colin cried out in pleasure, digging his fingers into Ryan's back and squeezing his eyes shut, and he made sure he hit that spot with every thrust.
He could feel his orgasm building and knew that Colin was close too. Both of them were beyond coherent speech as they moved together, panting and moaning. As they both approached the point of no return, Ryan managed to gasp, "Look at me Col." Colin opened his eyes, his pupils dilated, and brown locked onto green as they went over the edge together into sweet oblivion, shouting each other's name in ectasy.
Ryan collapsed beside Colin as they both tried to catch their breath.
"Wow," Ryan panted, "that was.."
"Incredible," Colin finished his sentence for him, closing his eyes and smiling lazily.
"Yeah," Ryan agreed, turning on his side and cuddling up to Colin, nuzzling his neck.
"I can't believe you're finally mine," Ryan whispered.
Colin opened his eyes and turned to look at Ryan.
"I was always yours Ry," he said softly, reaching out to stroke his face, "and I always will be."
Ryan smiled and kissed Colin's palm before pulling him into a hug and sighing contentedly, his eyelids heavy. As Colin's breathing evened out and he felt himself drifting off, Ryan knew that he was finally where he belonged......in Colin's arms.
