Drew's mother was hospitalized again just before graduation, so her family stayed in Toledo. Despite the fact that the Inn was quite busy for graduation weekend, Cassie, Caitlyn, and I went to graduation as Drew's guests. We also cheered on our long-time employee Anne, who was also receiving her degree. Following the ceremony, we took Drew to a late lunch at the best restaurant in town (the Inn and its restaurant were outside of town). After lunch, we dropped Drew at her sorority house where post-graduation party was already underway.
The next day, Caitlyn used her car to help Drew move her things from the sorority house to the room she'd be living in at the Inn. After that, Caitlyn drove Drew to see her family in Toledo. While Drew stayed there a few days, Caitlyn was going to visit friends in East Lansing. The two of them would be back the following weekend.
While Caitlyn and Drew were gone, it was a bit like it had been when we started running Brookhaven Inn: just Cassie and me. With the start of summer, we were into our busy season and, being short-handed, Cassie and I were running. We still found some time to talk.
Wednesday was traditionally our slowest night of the week and that Wednesday we were only about 40% occupied. Cassie and I thought that we could risk a couple of glasses of wine after dinner. We were sitting on the manager's suite's small porch.
"Harry, what do you think of Drew?" Cassie asked.
"Hum. Intelligent person. Very personable. Physically very beautiful young woman. Seems to have overcome some tough breaks. Why?" I responded.
"Just thinking," Cassie replied. "You know," she went on, "if you had told me before I moved back here that I'd be living with a man and another woman, I would probably have gotten angry at you." Cassie paused to sip her wine. "It certainly isn't a traditional relationship," she chuckled.
"Are you happy with it?" I asked.
Cassie looked into my eyes. I had a momentary fear that I was about to receive one of those "life-changing" revelations. Instead, Cassie smiled. "Yeah. I'm very happy with it. You?"
"Well, as you said, we don't live in a traditional relationship, but it works. I wouldn't trade you or Caitlyn for anything," I said.
"Not for anything? How about ten million dollars and your own private island with Drew?" Cassie teased.
"Only if you and Caitlyn were there too," I answered.
"Good answer Harry," Cassie said. "In a sense, we have our own private island here at Brookhaven. Do you think that Drew would want to join us on it?"
"Do you want her to?" I asked.
"Well," Cassie said, "That would really be a departure, wouldn't it? Three women and one man. Could you keep us all happy?"
"My bigger concern is where I would find closet space," I joked.
Cassie was silent for a couple of minutes. Then, she softly said, "Yeah. I'd like to have Drew on our island. Am I kinky?"
"No," I said. "You're wonderful."
Caitlyn and Drew were back the following Friday. Caitlyn made a point of telling Cassie and me that she and Drew had a long conversation on the drives to and from Toledo. What Caitlyn didn't tell us was what the two women talked about.
Drew started graduate school in the fall, but was not taking any classes that summer, so we had her full-time. That was convenient because Caitlyn, our marketing whiz, had, on short notice, booked a first for Brookhaven Inn: a nude wedding. My understanding was that the couple had originally booked another resort for their wedding, but that resort was forced to cancel when a malfunction in its fire suppression system caused a number of guest rooms to suffer severe water damage. Contacted through our website, Caitlyn had promised that we could host the wedding in just a few weeks' time. Mercifully, the wedding party was not that large and the wedding wasn't on a holiday weekend.
The bride and groom were a bit older. It was a second marriage for both. A consequence of this fact was that Caitlyn and Drew found themselves in a role outside of customary innkeeper duties.
The bride had two daughters by her prior marriage. The girls were 23 and 19. Mom wanted them as her maids of honor, but she and her husband to be had agreed that the entire wedding party would go nude. The daughters had reluctantly agreed, neither having gone nude publicly to date. Arriving at the site and hit by the realization that they were expected to be fully naked in front of their mother's new husband and many others in a situation in which everyone would be looking at them, the two girls were threatening to back out.
The prospect of having the wedding, if not derailed, at least much less than she had envisioned caused the bride to appeal to us to have someone talk to her daughters about social nudity. Being reasonably close in age to the girls, Caitlyn and Drew were the logical choice. I was not privy to that counseling session, of course.
The plan was to hold the wedding ceremony on our back lawn if the weather cooperated, which it did. We had put up around 30 folding chairs, with a supply of towels, and erected a trellis laced with flowers. Having never seen a nude wedding, Cassie, Caitlyn, Drew, and I were there, standing off to one side.
I leaned over to Caitlyn. "Are the daughters going to do it?" I asked.
"Drew gave them a nice little talk about her experience. They said that they'd go through with it, but we'll have to see," Caitlyn replied.
A small local band which we had found had been playing as the guests settled into their seats. The band was clothed. To a person, the guests were nude. The band stopped in mid-song and began the wedding march. Out of the main building came two tall, extremely fit, blond-haired young men; nude of course.
"Wow," Cassie said.
Drew giggled. "Those are the groom's sons," she said.
A smaller, older, very average looking naked man walked out. He was the groom.
"The sons must take after their mother," Caitlyn said cattily. Drew giggled again.
There was a pause. Everyone was looking towards the door in the main building. Finally, a very lovely young lady hesitantly stepped through the doorway. She wore only a small flowered wreath on her head, and carried a bouquet. A younger, but equally lovely girl tentatively followed her, similarly undressed. Both girls were looking rigidly straight ahead. Both were blushing.
"Those are the daughters," Drew said.
"They should be proud to go nude," Cassie commented. "They're both very beautiful, aren't they Harry?"
"Eclipsed only by the three beauties standing with me," I said. Drew playfully punched my arm. Caitlyn pinched my ass.
The bridesmaids were followed by their nude mother. Mom had likely been very lovely in her youth, and was very handsome for her age. She was beaming.
As the clothed clergywoman stepped forward to perform the ceremony, Cassie said, "We need to make sure that everything is set up for the reception," and led us back into the Inn.
The reception was in our meeting room. The food tables were already set up. Caitlyn and I would be bartending in the buff again. Once the ceremony was over, the band moved inside to set up while the wedding party had pictures taken on the lawn.
As the guests began filtering in, Caitlyn said to me, "Want to bet on whether the daughters get dressed for the reception?"
"Which side are you taking?" I asked.
"Dressed," Caitlyn said.
"OK. What are we betting?" I asked
"I blow you if they're undressed. You eat me if they're dressed," Caitlyn replied.
"You're on," I said. I love no-lose bets.
In the event, the two girls came into the reception wearing translucent robes. They were very obviously nude underneath. They were escorted by the still nude Adonis groomsmen.
Caitlyn looked at me. In unison, we said "69!" We both laughed.
The wedding party went through the food line first, of course. We didn't have space for sit down tables and dancing. The compromise was a group of high top tables in one corner of the room where people could eat standing up. In between serving drinks, I saw that the two daughters were eating with the two nude Adonises. Were they now siblings-in-law? I couldn't remember.
As people finished their food, our staff had to move a few of the tables out to really provide an adequate dance floor. The band started playing. I noticed the older daughter in conversation with her Adonis. I saw her shaking her head no. Her sister and the other Adonis joined the conversation. The man with the younger daughter said something that made everyone laugh and then both girls made shoulder-shrug gestures. The girls hesitantly undid the belts on their robes. Like good gentlemen, the two Adonises helped the girls out of their robes. Nude, all four went onto the dance floor.
I was, voyeuristically I suppose, interested in following the interaction between the bride's daughters and the groom's sons. However, the reception guests were putting away a decent amount of alcohol (a good thing for our profits) and I was pretty busy.
