CHAPTER 83

Wedding ceremony times five and with Rachael at the end and the final 'I now pronounce you' done and my kiss with Rachael I see them all smiling at me before Rachael whispers.

"Run to the car now," She tells me and giggles.

I take heed and bolt and then I realize that my girls, not one of them, are wearing high heels as they are chasing me fast. I get into the limo outside and five white dresses follow me in and we're heading down the road to the reception. We're all laughing and I'm taking turns being kissed and holding each one of my now new wives. I have no clue as to what to expect at the reception but when we arrive I discover we're early and we sit in the car and just relax.

"Girls I don't know about you but I'm so happy right now I could die with a smile," Kori says in a giddy state.

"No dying, I forbid dying period," I bark playfully.

"What do you want to go first," Imelda asks jokingly and I get serious.

"Yes, I wouldn't want to live without any of you. You five are the best parts of me," I tell them and all my new wives get this newly minted love look on their faces.

"Okay no crying or we have to go back to fix our makeup," Rachael says and I watch them regain a level of control.

It takes about twenty minutes for people to arrive and finally my groomsmen knock on the window to let us know we can enter. I let the girls step out first, our reception area is a very nice banquet hall and this is where things get 'fun' for me. The girls planned everything for this wedding, cake, decorations, gowns, I mean everything. However I pulled a little bit of strings and took care of one or two things that I felt they missed, first being that this is OUR wedding and it will be a safe one. Add to that the Old Man, Sid, Hawk and about forty of the Union and Devil's best littering the area and tending bar in a couple cases. The second is I added to the song list for a couple things, mainly my first dances with my wives. However, that comes after our walk into the building and the announcement of Mr. and Mrs. (I don't know how to multiply that) Donnelly. There is applause. There are more people here than there were for the wedding and I see family, school friends, bikers, and a few women that I have slept with in the past. The main table where we're all sitting up above everyone and the meal is served, well it's more of a buffet with the only exception is that while everyone else goes to get their food my wives and I are served our food. Dining is wonderful and as we're relaxing I hear a chiming and Jun decides it's time for his embarrassing speech.

"As I am the best man at this union of souls, that's what I call it because that is what it is. It's not five women settling for one man, its six pieces of the same soul finding

each other and surviving everything. Now that I have the mushy part out of the way, let me embarrass my best friend here," Jun says, turning towards me and my wives," You are the worst people ever, you literally have destroyed my life. How the hell is my wedding next year supposed to compete with this?"

Everyone laughs and we hear some jeering from the crowd when I hold up my hand and laugh since it's good fun.

"Seriously Guy you are a bit of a prick, you barge into everything and fuck everyone's world up including your new wives' and all of it for one purpose, we needed it. You never forced me to stand up for myself but hell man I needed to. You built a group of friends that will walk through hell," Jun says looking at Ben," Some of us have and never have we regretted it. Now even though we're all heading in different physical directions you are still our leader and my best friend. You always made sure we came out on top no matter what was hurting us and when other said quit you said fuck you. Now you have the wives a man, a King, deserves. To Guy, Kori, Katy, Mathilda, Imelda and Rachael; your lives have more love than the world can tolerate but your family, this family will never let you down because you never let us down."

There is applause and I stand up to hug my best friend. The merriment resumes and the dance is announced, the couple's first dance. I tell the girls that I will go in a particular order and give the DJ a heads up for the music I selected. First up Kori and Etta James' song 'At Last', it's a nice slow number and Kori is beaming with joy and a few tears as were out on the dance floor and when we're done I walk Kori back to her seat and take Katy's hand, I chose 'I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire' by the Ink Spots. It's a soft and much older song but Katy is pressed against me the whole time making sure if anyone comes between us there will be pain involved. The song ends and when it does I repeat the walk back to the table and take Matty's hand, her song 'Fly me to the Moon' by Frank Sinatra. I have to look up to her normally but now we're dancing and she's trying to rest her head on my shoulder which looks awkward but once achieved my Amazon is damn near purring like a kitten. We get done and I take her back and in a bit of a twist take Rachael's hand and lead her to the floor, her song 'Maybe I'm Amazed' by Paul McCartney. Being the one girl that is a little shorter than the rest allows Rachael the freedom to rest her head against my chest and turn it into a nice slow number and when it's done I return to the table and take Imelda's hand and lead her out to the center of the dance floor when everything goes off. First the DJ stops all music and begins to change some speakers, then a group of men who have been moving through the crowd take up positions and instruments near the speakers and I take off my tuxedo coat as Imelda's Mother and a group of women surround her daughter in a curtain and I explain.

"Apparently weddings are a bit more upbeat in my wife's family," I explain to the family and friends watching," And there is a song that is sung every wedding in Imelda's family and there is dancing. Very upbeat dancing."
