Chapter 12 - The Wedding
The wedding was driving Leroy insane. His sisters, plus the sister-n-laws and girlfriends, were driving Leroy nuts. They wanted this type and then that type, they weren't taking any suggestions from him of what Dave and he would like. Dave and Leroy just wanted to get married, now he wished he wouldn't have opened his big mouth saying that a traditional wedding would be fun. He should have gone with Dave up to the courthouse, married and got it over with.
They decided on Saturday, October 25th, to get married. They have filed for the married license and found a friend that can officiate over the ceremony. So everything was falling in place if Leroy would just get his sisters to listen to him.
Dave and Leroy both decided right away they were writing their own vows, they had been dreaming of this for too long. They wanted it to mean something more to them than to just recite the traditional vows.
Dave walked into the family room and smiled, he could see how frustrated Leroy was becoming. He was hoping that the added stress that his sisters were putting on him wasn't going to cause Leroy to have a seizure. Leroy looked up at Dave, threw his hands up in the air, gave up, and walked out of the room.
Dave followed him. "Babe, just tell them, you don't want help."
"And piss Allison off, along with the others and your sister. Hell, just be glad they don't have one of us in a fucking dress."
Dave pulled Leroy into a hug. "I love you, Leroy, calm down, we don't need you getting too worked up about this. Let me talk to them, let me see if I can get through to them, on what we want."
"Have at it, I'm going for a walk." Leroy kissed Dave and walked out of the house.
Dave walked back into the family room and sat down. He watched them all bicker for a bit, and then he spoke up. "Can I please, interject?" Dave waited a minute until he had all their attention. "Have you ever listened to Leroy?"
"Dave, we have, but we want to make this special for the two of you," Allison spoke for the group.
"Allison, even if we stood in front of a doll and expressed our love to one another, knowing we are getting married is more than special enough. Please simplify it, we love everything that you all are doing, but it doesn't need to be that elaborate. Also, I'm worried about Leroy, I hope he isn't stressing too badly about this."
"Sorry, Dave, I know you two want it simple, I promise we will try, but..."
"Please, Allison, simplify it and don't stress Leroy out. I don't want him to have a seizure." Dave looked at them again. "I'm going to go look for Leroy and take him to lunch. Then please can you listen to what we want."
"We will try," Allison responded.
Dave left the house, he drove up and down the streets until he found Leroy and asked him to get in the car. When Leroy settled in the seat beside Dave, Dave reached for Leroy's hand, bringing it to his mouth and kissing it. "I love you, Leroy. I'm sorry that I have left you dealing with the women. I should have helped a little more than just today."
"I love you too, but they're going to be the death of me. You won't have anyone to marry if they push me just a little further." Leroy smiled at Dave. "Who am I kidding, I would drag myself up to the aisle from my grave, just to marry you."
Dave just smiled and squeezed Leroy's hand as he headed towards the diner. "I thought we could have some lunch alone before I head to work."
"Thank you for keeping me out of the bitchfest for a bit longer." Leroy leaned over and kissed Dave before they both exited the car.

With lunch finished, Dave showered and dressed for work. Leroy had been staying away from the family room, but when Dave walked out the door, he knew he couldn't keep avoiding everyone, so he walked back in and sat down.
"Leroy, we are sorry," Allison spoke again for the group. "We haven't been listening to what you and Dave want, and we are sorry for it. Please tell us now, and we will work on what you and Dave would like from now on."
Leroy smiled and proceeded to tell them what they would prefer. He and Dave had laid in bed almost every night discussing how they would love their wedding to go.

The bachelor parties were coming up, and the women and men had chosen who they wanted to take out, of course, all the brothers wanted to take Leroy, and that left Dave with the women.
The night before the wedding, the women picked Dave up. "Dave, I know you would probably prefer to be out with the guys and Leroy, but you get us," Allison explained. "You know that you're not allowed to see the person that you are marrying the night before the wedding."
"It's okay, Allison. Leroy has spent enough time with you all over the last three weeks. I think he deserves a good drinking night, but I hope that he is sober for the wedding." Dave laughed, but he did really worry about that. "So where are you taking me?"
"It's a secret," Bridget responded. "And when we get close, we are blindfolding you."
"No please, do you have to?"
Everyone in the van responded very loudly. "YES!"
They started driving towards DC, and when they crossed over, they blindfolded Dave. He just shook his head and hoped that Leroy was having a wonderful time. He knew they would not allow him to return to the house tonight, that he would be staying at Allison's. Before leaving the house, they had him pack a bag.
They pulled in the parking lot and helped get Dave out. They were a little early for the club to open, but they had begged the manager to let them come in, and they would pay anything. The manager had them in the VIP section, which was a higher fee, but they were also paying for more than a few private dancers to dance for them.
When they made it to the doors the bouncers held the doors open for them, there were already a few people in line waiting for the club to open and were wondering how Allison's group had special treatment. When the doors opened, Dave could hear the music, and pretty much could guess where he was. Allison and Jewels guided him to a comfortable chair and told him he had to leave his blindfold on for just a little longer.
Allison was talking to the manager, he would run a tab for her area, which she would pay at the end of the night. She started ordering some of the drinks, she ordered Dave a frozen strawberry daiquiri and decided he could drink like them for a bit before she let him drink beer. The daiquiri she ordered was big enough for five people to drink, but she was going to make Dave drink the whole thing, thinking he could use a little alcohol in his system.
The first dancers were there before the drinks were brought over. The music started, and all Dave felt were hands, hands all over him. When someone removed the blindfold, his mouth dropped open, and one of the dancers decided to take the opportunity and kiss him. Dave didn't know what to do, so he just leaned back in the chair and smiled. The men in front of him were dancing and touching him, and all the girls were smiling, laughing, and taking a few pictures.
One of them straddled him in the seat and rubbed his cock up against Dave's jean covered one. Dave smiled, shook his head and looked over at Allison who was next to him, with one of the dancers in her lap as well. "You know if Leroy ever saw one of these pictures, we would be attending a funeral, not a wedding tomorrow."
"It's ok. He's getting a stripper later too." Allison smiled at Dave.
Dave laughed, he was thinking about Leroy, more than likely his brothers would give him a female stripper. The guy on Dave's lap got up and walked to one of the other women in the group, Dave just shook his head and laughed. When the drinks were delivered, the half-nude waiter handed the daiquiri to Dave, and he didn't say anything, he just started drinking. He knew he was going to love this night, Leroy and he didn't do the club scene and definitely not the male strip clubs, not since they were younger.
When Dave had finished the daiquiri, Allison looked over to him and could tell that he was getting a little drunk. "Are you okay, Dave?"
"Yeah, I think they added more liquor to this than it was supposed to have. But I want another." Dave smiled at Allison. Allison motioned to the waiter, and he came right over, she ordered Dave and her another drink and sent him down to the others.

Leroy was picked up before Dave, the guys took him to Aaron's, and they walked to a bar that was near. They all started drinking up a storm, they were just talking about anything and everything. "Are you looking forward to tomorrow, Leroy?" Chris asked.
"Yeah," Leroy responded, everyone could tell that Leroy was getting drunk. "You all don't know how long I've wanted this."
"Leroy, I think we can guess. You two have been together forever." Aaron responded. "Shit, I think we need to get you back to my house before you're too drunk to continue the fun. Plus I think Dave will kill us all if you're not awake for the wedding."
"Where are you two going for your honeymoon?" Jeff asked.
"I have no clue," Leroy responded.
