"If you stain another dress you will be left at home," I warned my seven-year-old baby girl who has been driving Christian mad since morning. She woke up early and eager for her uncle's wedding.

"I won't daddy," she assures innocently just like she did when Christian changed her dress the second time. She ran straight to the backyard to look for a doll she might have left there and voila another soiled dress. Rita's bedroom door opened, "Babe, can you hold her for a minute?" My husband asked from the doorway holding our youngest, Allison.

"Of course," I answered putting Rita's last hair crip in place. Rita who never misses a minute to fuss over her baby sister rushed towards Chris, spreading her hands excitedly. "Let me," I murmured stepping closer to Chris and kissing his forehead. I took baby Allison from him against Rita's protest.

"Dad..." She cried frowning at Chris who dropped on his knees and grabbed her for a hug.
"Go sit on the bed and daddy will let you hold the baby," he whispered making Rita look at me suspiciously but when I nodded, her little face lit with happiness. She rushed towards the bed eagerly, "At this rate, they will be on their honeymoon by the time we arrive." I groaned pecking Christian's lips chastely referring to Liam's and Daniel's wedding.

"Comes with the territory," he grinned devilishly eyeing Rita who was by now seated patiently on the bed waiting. "At least two more to go," he added with a smirk...

"Am I allowed to change my mind?" I asked remembering how adamant I was on getting at least five kids. Now with these two, I am almost going insane, and I wonder how worse it will be with five little humans running driving me crazy.

"You know the drill," Christian whispered pecking my lips lightly and shot me a devious smile leaving for the shower.

I watched his retreating back as memories of how I had managed to persuade him into the five kids' scheme flashed in my mind. Seems he wants the same kind of convincing to get me off the hook.  I couldn't stop a naughty chuckle that escaped my lips.

"Daddy," my daughter called impatiently with a cute scowl. I walked to her and carefully positioned the baby on her lap and sat beside her. 

"She looks like uncle Liam," Rita observed staring at her baby sister curiously. I smiled cause it's true Allison took Liam's golden orbs and black curls which is a signature trait from my mother's side. "And like grandma," I winked at Rita who rewarded me with a toothy grin at the mention of my mother. Weird as it may sound, Rita adores her grandmother she has never met her. Christian insisted on us naming her after my mother and thanks to my uncle, Rita knows a lot about her. Not to mention tons of pictures that Christian has hung around the house of her.

"People say I  look like dad," Rita murmured absent-mindedly using her index finger to trace her sister's face. "You do," I agreed pushing the loose strands behind her ear and dropped a kiss on her head. The door opened to reveal an already showered and dressed Christian.  His tailored fitting cerulean blue suit matched with the black shirt was incredible on his skinny self. And since he is Liam's best man I expected nothing less. My boy is pumped.

"Ready to go?" He asked,

"Please," Chris elbowed my ribs playfully making me groan dramatically which seemed to amuse Rita who giggled heartily. "Daddy, can we go now?" She asked squirming and I knew she has already had her fill with the baby.

"Yes baby," I picked Allison from her lap. Rita swung her feet off the bed and rushed to Christian's side and tugged his hand. "Let's go," she urged thumping her small feet on the floor annoyingly.

"Her highness has spoken," I teased with a shrug when Christian turned to me with a knowing side-eye. She can be bossy at times, I wonder who she takes after.

Thirty minutes after we pulled from our driveway we got to the venue. Christian scrambled to look for Liam leaving me with the kids. I spotted Daniel standing with Christopher who was his best man and decided to pass my regards.

"I see you finally made it," Christopher chuckled stepping forward stretching his arm.
Rita who had already started giggling after seeing Daniel rushed into his awaiting hands.
"Uncle Danny,"

"Princess," Daniel twirled her around making her laugh louder making some guests around us stare.

"Again," Rita begged when Daniel put her down.

"Please behave," I scolded but Daniel quickly grabbed her and did their thing.

"How is the little one?" Christopher asked leaving Daniel to play with Rita. I adjusted Allison's covers in her trolley giving Christopher a chance to see her.

"Are you Gianna planning on having some?" I asked,

"We are planning on adopting. We are unable to conceive." Christopher offered kindly making me nod just as the wedding planner hurried in urging everyone to take their place as the ceremony was about to begin...

Daniel helped me settle Rita in her chair, before heading to his designated spot with Christopher beside him.  The pianist began playing, Nobody but you by Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani

Since it was just an intimate ceremony, only Liam walked down the small aisle with his father. Christian was standing opposite Daniel and Christopher. 

Liam looked dashingly beautiful in his grey tux, which he had paired with a black shirt. His eyes sparkled as he neared Daniel, who stepped forward to wipe a stray tear from his husband's to-be face.

For a second it took me back to mine and Christian's wedding. He cried so much he kept sniffing as he said his vows. I tease him about it to date. Not that my eyes were dry either.

***

The presiding lawyer began the beautiful ceremony and before long Daniel was saying his vows.

"The first time I saw you I thought to myself, those are the most beautiful pair of eyes I had ever seen in an equally beautiful face. When I got to know you, I realized your heart was even more beautiful. And when you agreed to be mine you made me the happiest I have ever been.
Today, before our family and friends I vow to never stray from you, to always cherish, love, and support you. For as long as we both shall live. I love you."

Liam was a sobbing mess by the time he was done.

"Daniel, thank you for showing me I can trust you with my heart. Thank you for loving me unconditionally despite my many flaws. If you will have me, I vow to spend the rest of my life showing you just how happy and lucky I am to call you mine. I love you."

Though he tried to fight back, Daniel succumbed to tears as Liam's words flooded his very soul. Christian peeked at me his eyes wet and I smiled. My husband is one emotional being and I loved him for that.

When the lawyer pronounced Daniel and Liam married, everyone rose to cheer happily as the now-married couple made their way out smiling and waving at their guest. Christian followed and when he got to us he stopped pecked lips lightly and picked Rita.

I was so ready for the real celebration to begin... And a little hungry too.
