Originally intended as a 10 to 15 part story, real life has kept me from being able to write as often as I'd like. This chapter and the next will try and serve as a satisfying conclusion to many of the story lines.

Reception
"You two look about as nervous as us about being here, but don't worry, we're not swingers," Judy said to Heather from across the small table between two couches in the reception area of Hedonism.
Heather visibly relaxed and smiled warmly at the older lady. "Nervous isn't the half of it, I still can't believe we decided to come, we've never done anything like this."
"Neither have we, what made you decided to come?"
"Friends of ours our getting married here, to another couple. It's.. well it's what makes them happy, so good for them, and we've been close friends for a decade, and it's been forever since we've been on vacation. What about you?"
"I signed us up for a contest to win a trip for two to a Caribbean resort, and this place was the prize. We hadn't been on a proper vacation since our honeymoon 35 years ago and weren't going to let a little thing like the fact that this is a nudist, swinger resort get in the way." Judy smiled warmly and held out her glass of champagne towards Heather, "To a relaxing week."
"Cheers," Heather said, clicking glasses and taking a sip. "I'm Heather, and this is my husband, Christian."
"Nice to meet you Heather, I'm Judy, and this is my husband Paul."
"So what do you do, Paul? Let me guess, real estate?"
"No, actually, I'm a minister at a small congregation in New England.
Heather nearly choked on her champagne, "Oh wow, you two must be further out of your comfort zone than us. I'm assuming you'll be keeping to the prude side of things."
Judy smiled big, "That may be hard as our room is one of the nude ocean view with its own hot tub. And I for one can't wait to get naked."
Paul continued on, "While we don't plan on partaking in the other activities, the nudity doesn't bother us. It's what God gave us, flaws and all!"
Heather laughed a little to herself, "Well I guess that should teach me to make assumptions. For me, I'm going to have to work up the courage first."
"Well don't take too long! Everyone who waits always regrets it after," a familiar voice called out from a few feet away. Heather looked up to see Nick and Marie, hand in hand walking towards them, each wrapped in a blue towel and wearing sandals. Heather and Christian stood up to give their friends a hug. Marie, a nordic blonde at 5'10" with ice blue eyes and a warm smile, kissed Heather on both cheeks while Nick, sandy blonde 6' with a runners body and a hint of Mediterranean in his skin shook hands with Christian.
"Sorry to interrupt your conversation, but we heard you'd arrived and wanted to make sure to invite you to dinner tonight. The entire wedding party has a table at the Japanese grill, and we'd love for you to come," Marie said.
"Sure, what time?"
"7:30, we'll see you there!"
And just like that they were off again, making their way through the main dining room.
"They look like a very happy couple," Paul mused as Heather and Christian sat back down. "They are the ones marrying another couple, you said?"

"Well do you know when the room will be ready?" an exasperated Scott asked the young woman behind the reception counter a little too loudly.
"It's no problem, we will hold onto your bags and take them to the room once it is cleaned. You can enjoy the resort until then."
"But I've been traveling in these clothes for what feels like two days, I'd really like to change and relax."
