WEDDING DAY
When they all were dressed and it all was ready, one thing was for sure. Leslie had really outdone herself with the dresses and the guys' tuxes. Their wedding was to begin at 12 noon sharp, and was held in the big Baptist church in Pacific Heights.
When the organist started playing, Todd was the first out leading Leslie down the aisle, they were followed by Jon leading Katherine, Jenny leading Ross, and Carrie leading Claude. They all traded their vows and their rings, and as they shared their first kisses as married couples, Tobias read his poem. After that was finished, all four were greeted and congratulated by the whole family. Then they ran out to the limo being pelted with rice, where they were taken to the Fairmount for the reception.
By 7, those 4 newlyweds were packed and met over at Ross', all ready to leave. Jenny, Carrie, Jon and Todd were already at Victoria's, so the 2 women got into the car while their husbands made sure the house was secure.
They finally arrived in Menton at 7:30 Wednesday morning; Charles was there to get them. He helped Ross and Claude load the limo's trunk with their luggage. Then he drove them to the Villa, it went without saying, that those 4 were very happy even hamper by jetlag. Once all arrived, they all unpacked, and both ladies changed into shorts and tops. Then they both entered the kitchen, where Sylvie had their breakfast ready.
"Well hello dear Katherine, hun I must say you look a lot happier that the last time you all were here. I was very happy for the 4 of you when Victoria called and told me the news. But dear, I was happiest for none more than you. I'm very glad and happy to finally get to see you like this. You each deserve this." Sylvie told Katherine and hugged her.
"Yes you are right I'm very happy, and by the same token so are all 4 of the children. Hun, I'd like you to meet my sister. This is Leslie Flemming, Les dear this is Sylvie." To which those two women greeted and hugged happily just as the men entered.
"Well I can tell we all are acquainted. " Ross said and kissed Katherine on her cheek. To this she turned around and embraced him. To this display, Leslie cleared her throat.
"Alright you 2 there is enough time for all of that." She laughed. "Just like that old saying goes: 'It's rude to make a public display of your emotions.'" To which Both Katherine and Ross laughed too.
"Ok. I'll do my best to refrain from it."
"I hope not!" Ross said with a bright smile. They all calmed down and ate, and then Claude suggested that they all needed to call Victoria and let her know they had arrived safely. So they all walked to the den where a speakerphone was and called home.
"Hello?" It was Tobias who answered.
"Hi Tobias, we all made it safe and sound." Ross told him.
"Great! So how does it feel to finally be happily married?"
"Perfect! We all very much love this." Both women told him.
"Well I'm glad to hear it. And god knows you each deserve it too. Well dears, enjoy yourselves, here is Victoria. I'll see you when you return home."
"Ok talk to you then."
"Hello, how are my two new families doing today?" Victoria asked the, to which they all replied that each of them were extremely happy. That neither of them could imagine it any better. Those five sat and talked for a while.
"So how are our 4 young adults doing?" Katherine asked Victoria.
"Dears all 4 are very happy. So much so that none of them could stop talking about it. Both of your daughters are really starting to bond very closely together. They both are just like a close set of sisters already." She told Katherine and Ross. Hearing this make Katherine smile very happily and brightly.
"Now that is really wonderful. What else is happening there?" Ross asked.
"Only one other important thing Ross dear, and this should be of great interest to all of you. Melanie has put your house up for sale, and she and her tennis champ have moved to New York. She told the real estate company to send her the money there. She also packed all of your, Carrie's and Jon's things in storage and brought the keys here." Victoria explained.
"Damn! I wish I knew she was planning to do that. I could have bought it back for us, because I know it would have been perfect for all of us." Ross said.
"Then I was right. I felt that was how you would feel. So, dear, I took the liberty and I bought it back for you all. So, dear Ross, don't worry, hun that's all taken care of. You each enjoy your honeymoons and we will see you when you each get back. We all love you each."
"Thank you. And you know we each love you all too." They said and hung up. Those 4 sat in the den talking until they each were so sleepy, that they were about to fall asleep right there. So, they all hugged and went to their rooms and fell into their beds.
Katherine woke up in the mid afternoon on Thursday. She sat up slowly and stretched, then she looked beside her, she was of course all smiles. Katherine eased up and got into her robe, deciding to let Ross sleep. She quietly exited her room, heading for the kitchen and some coffee. Just as she saw Leslie come out of her room, both hugged and kissed. Then they walked to the kitchen, where they poured themselves some coffee and sat down at the table talking.
"How did you sleep last night sis dear?" Katherine asked Leslie.
"Well if you want to know hun, I slept like a baby actually snuggled up to Claude." Leslie answered flashing her bright smile. Then Leslie asked Katherine the same question, and that's where both realized that they both felt the same way. Then Sylvie entered the kitchen to find them talking, and she greeted them. They asked her to get some coffee and join them, so she did just that.
"Well dears how did you each sleep? That is if either of you got any?" She laughed.
"Well dear, all we each did was sleep. We have plenty of time of all the rest." Katherine answered laughing. Those 3 women sat talking for another hour, before the men finally got up and joined them in the kitchen. Where they hugged and kissed their wives and got some coffee and sat down with them. Once they did, Sylvie got up, and told each to have fun, and that she had things to get done.
"So what would you ladies like to do today?"
"How about heading over to the 'swimming hole'? Katherine asked. To which everyone agreed, and Leslie told Katherine that they did need to work on their tans. Then Leslie thought of something.
"Hey, wait a minute, we didn't bring our bikinis." To this the other three just stared at her all smiling. "Oh I get it now. 'No clothes needed'." She laughed.
So for the rest of their honeymoons, Ross and Katherine showed off Niece, Menton, Paris, London and Monte Carlo to Leslie and Claude. But the majority of their time was spent at the 'swimming hole' all swimming, tanning, and even making love on the bank. As both Katherine and Ross had told them, Leslie and Claude noticed that the place was so secluded, that no one was within miles of the place so they felt safe. By the time the honeymoons were over, both Katherine and Leslie had all over deep dark tans.
