in an open relationship 2

After exchanging rings ,we take our seats on the golden chairs of royalty to give  those who want to give us their word of encouragement and blessings a chance , theirs a curtain behind us that divides this section with the reception, I can smell all the kinds of foods from here .

The only one who takes the stage from Ethan's side is his step Mom, his father and brother are still skeptical about us ,Eric seems to be the only one who believes us ,I understand how hard it would be for them to stand up and give us their blessings when they know everything.

My dad follows her next ," Ethan ,Son , you promised in front of everyone to never leave my daughter so if you do then I have a right to embarrass you in front of the nations " he teases ," kidding, I know you won't , I'm honoured to have a son like you ,I can say with certainty that there's no other replica of you in a population of over a billion,you are one of a kind , I'm surprised that your dad is your dad because wow you do not take after my dear friend at all ", we laugh as he continues," your dad is one of the most stingiest man on earth , I remember once we were battling over a client at a bidding fare ,he was my  rivalry,we were going back and forth with our prices and when I said a million he stepped back and was like ' I don't care how much they could bring in I'm not taking more than a million out of my account just to buy their account' " his dad's face falls in mortification that my dad remembers ," it's probably why he couldn't take the company to the great heights that you have , as I was saying,I'm proud to have a billionaire as my son in law because I know my daughter will never lack anything, even when my wife's coffee shop was about to get ceased by the banks you stepped in just in time to save us , you have been there for us all , we all love you , probably why all of my family decided to attend Lauren's dalfi little did they know that it was going to be this extravagant I'm sure my daughter will not forget it , you've been a true superhero to me ,you first saved my life ,saved my wife's shop ,my daughter ,and today you have given me a chance to experience and be apart of my daughter's wedding which is something I never thought I'd see when I was on that bed hanging on to dear life " ,the MC signals my dad about the time by tapping and imaginary watch on his hand .

" Come on I've been given a privilege to have a say at my daughter's wedding,Ethan ?" He stares at him ,Ethan signals the MC to let him be.

" Thank you , Lauren said I can have this moment to cry , sweetie I don't have much to say to you except to continue being a good wife and a great person, and Ethan continue to love my daughter in body and in soul , continue treating her like the queen she is , the baby is very lucky to have parents like you , we can't wait for her or his arrival, that's all for now I'm not done I'll continue my speech at the reception when everyone is having their FreeTime and dancing to the music ".

he hops off stage and heads straight to Caitlyn to force her to be next but she refuses, Jen takes her place and says her piece ,then Collen , Collen expresses how he wants to find the perfect wife and be exactly like Ethan, sometimes the truth is better left untold ,Ethan's truth has a one percent chance of coming out ,only his family and Caitlyn knows and I doubt any of them would reveal it , I know I won't either and honestly I prefer it that way ... And Austin but I'm certain he wouldn't too , the image everyone has of him is the image they should and must have until they die .

All of my aunts and their niece's say their part and the last to speak is uncle Jerry on the family's side ,he gets on stage and starts mumbling about how he wishes that he was born a woman because then he'd have a chance with Ethan even though he has proclaimed in front of everyone how he doesn't see anyone else but me,and then mentions to the public that the wedding they are seeing is all his doing,he goes on to say he wishes to do business with Ethan in the near future and luckily does not add any more embarrassing stories.

After him all the other familiar faces also do their part in wishing us a long and happy married life , the MC then announces that it's time for the couple dance which we are not prepared for but Ethan and I have attended many dance lessons over the past five years that we have become like professionals.

The curtains behind us open revealing the reception, there's a long table at the far end , with two red chairs on the ends that belong to queen Elizabeth,on the sides are white chairs with gold velvet seats .

The guests tables and chairs are all royal blue and gold , everyone has already figured by now how much Ethan loves gold .

We are the only ones that move further inside ,the guests form three horizontal lines after the curtains , it's seems Ethan already made certain to tell them to sit down only after our dance .

The music starts and everyone watches us move in perfect sync with the rhythm of the music .

my eyes are smiling into his, breathing ,the incredible fantasy air that I have been privileged to take in .

He whispers to me that after the dance we are going to the front and stand beside the cake allowing the journalists to take their pictures.

" And then after that we're done?" I ask.

" For now yes , we'll have to deliver our thank you speeches to our guests and that's it ".

We continue dancing until the end of the song . the deejay starts playing an upjazz song and the Rizzer dancers emerge from nowhere and start dancing around us , I love watching their tiktok videos ,I've never mentioned them to Ethan so I'm guessing he noticed like always.

We laugh into each other's arms as they dance for us and before the song cuts off , smoke rises from the ground and they disappear  .

" How did you get them here so fast " my smile reaches my eyes, our guests clap and cheer for them .

He puts his hand out for me to hold and ushers me further on and the guests start to take their seats on the beautiful royal chairs .

" I have my ways "he boasts.

" Don't they live in the UK ?" I ask.

" Like I said ,I have my ways " he whispers .

We stand next to the cake ,the chef brings us a knife and everyone is already seated taking pictures of us and the beautiful decor .

Ethan slices a huge piece off the cake and dishes it in the plate the chef gave him . my eyes widen wondering if he expects me to eat this whole thing , he dips his finger into the cream and swipes all of it into his hand, everyone quiets down watching him.

He steps closer to me, I fight the urge to run away and close my eyes instead because I already know he's about to smear the cream all over my face , I remember this vividly but we were coming from a wedding that my dad and his dad were invited to ,I don't remember how it started but he made a joke about embarrassing his wife on her wedding day by smearing the cake over her face and then feeding it to her ,of course I tried to make him see how not cool that was and he said that he was joking but we both know that he wasn't,I felt sorry for his future wife imagining those hours and hours of makeup that will go to waste in less than ten seconds little did I know it was going to be me , he didn't do it on our first wedding because he wasn't happy, he was still trying to understand what had happened to him .

I feel only a tip of his finger circle around my face, puppy noises flow through the reception, I'm relived that he didn't ruin all my makeup .

" You'll stop smiling once you see what I've drawn on you " he winks wickedly.

My smile almost wears off but for the sake of the cameras it revives by itself.

I cut the cake and do things the right way by feeding it to him ,he blushes as we kiss and get the deserved applause.
