Notch firmly took her hand and whispered back.
"I know." he said jokingly followed by a wink. "You're beautiful. The big day is here, Mrs. Anderson." he said as he turned to face the pastor. Chucky turned to Lee Lee that was standing next to him. He didn't take his eyes off the couple but he spoke to where only Lee Lee could hear him.
"I betcha five bucks that Notch will lose a tear." he said . Lee Lee looked at Chucky oddly.
"Do what??" he replied confused but Chucky was already away from whispering distance. He looked at Notch's feet. No No tugged at Lee Lee's sleeve. Lee Lee did the same as Chucky.
"What?" he asked.
"What did Chucky say?" No No asked. Lee Lee shook his head.
"Something about catch'n five ducks with Notches shoes and beer..." he stated. No No looked down with a dumbfounded look.
"The fuck does that mean?" he asked. Lee Lee shrugged and shook his head
"I don't know..." he said before the pastor started speaking.
"We are gathered here to joined these two in holy matrimony. From the days of old to the coming of new. A man and a woman join as one - a shared name - a shared house. A love that undeniably joins the hearts. The soul. And the body." he pastor recited. Notch looked at Alena with a smile. To see her in her wedding dress and her hair perfect was too good to be true. In the church and in front of all these people made this seem like a dream. He wasn't aware of anyone else there - except Alena.
No no tugged Lee Lee's sleeve again.
"Oh god! Was we supposed to bring the beer!?" he asked still being confused by Lee Lee's misunderstanding of Chucky. Lee Lee shook his head silently and shhh'd him to be quiet. The pastor started speaking again.
"Today, before you, myself and the lord, stand Nelson Anderson and Alena Rossi." he stated using Notch's full name. Notch cringed but kept a smile on his face. The groomsmen bit their bottom lips not to erupt in laughter. The crowd did the same. Devon looked at Notch - not realizing that Notch was just a nickname. His mouth was wide open while he held the ring pillow.
"To be wedded this day. " he said before looking at Devon. Devon was still in disbelief about Notch's real name. "The rings please, young man." The pastor asked. Devon quickly brought it to Notch. Notch took the ring for Alena. Devon then held the pillow close to Alena for her to take the ring for Notch. Devon quickly stepped back out of the way.
"Nelson,do you take this woman to be your wife, to live together in holy matrimony, to love her, to honor her, to comfort her, and to keep her in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?" he asked. Notched looked at Alena and nodded.
"Yes I do." he stated. The pastor smiled.
"Alright. Alena, do you take this man to be your husband, to live together in holy matrimony, to love him, to honor him, to comfort him, and to keep him in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?" he asked.
