Brian didn't want to go to the wedding of someone he doesn't even like. He never liked his cousin Derrick; he was a total jackass. His whole life, the guy has just mistreated his other cousins because he's the oldest one among them, about six years older than Brian himself. He spent his whole life being picked on by him; name calling, surprise punches in the arms, childish pranks, breaking things, telling embarrassing stories in public, and so on. Derrick just shrugged it off as jokes, saying that Brian and the rest of his cousins just needed a sense of humor, but everyone knew that was just a lame excuse for him to do whatever he wanted without feeling bad about it.
He tried to come up with an excuse to not have to go. He had just turned 24, was no longer living in his parents' house, and he would rather go out with his friends and have a good time than do something to honor a jerk like Derrick. But, of course, his parents pressured him to do so, making him feel guilty about making his aunt and uncle upset. So, with very short notice, he decided to go.
The hotel where the wedding was being held was several hours away from where he lived, so he decided to rent a room for the night at the same place. He also figured if he wanted to skip out on the wedding for an hour or two without anybody noticing, he'd just go to his room without anybody noticing and then slip back in for the end. Also, if by chance he could hook up with someone at the wedding, he had a room ready to take them back to. He wasn't getting his hopes up on that part. He never knew anybody who actually got to hook up with someone at a wedding, that stuff mostly happened on TV.
Brian was intentionally twenty minutes late to the wedding, but he got there just in time for the ceremony. It lasted just about twenty minutes before it ended and everyone headed towards the banquet hall for dinner. Brian slipped away to his hotel room for about half an hour to watch some TV before heading back to the reception.
He met his parents at their assigned table, who were already there with five other people. He recognized his two aunts and their husbands, but not the incredibly cute blonde woman sitting there with them. He wondered who she might be, knowing full well that his aunts that were sitting at the table never had any children of their own, so she was just an extra person at the table and he had no idea of who she might be.
He greeted his parents and his aunts and their husbands. By the time he got around to the cute blonde, he had no idea how he should introduce himself if she was someone he already knew.
"Brian, you remember your cousin, Carly, don't you?" said his mother.
"Oh my god, you're Brian," the cute blonde said excitedly. "I'm sorry, I almost didn't recognize you."
"It's OK, I almost didn't recognize you either," he assured her.
It had been almost ten years since they last saw each other. At that time, Carly was a little overweight with big glasses, while Brian was very scrawny and his face was covered in acne. Now, Brian's face was very clear, and with a good exercise routine, he's become very muscular. While Carly lost that weight in high school and got Lasik eye surgery. Carly was at the wedding alone; she was sent there by her parents, who couldn't make it; and since she was by herself, she was seated at Brian's table since it had an extra seat available.
Now that he realized that Carly was his cousin, he felt a little guilty for thinking she was attractive, but he couldn't resist how she looked. She was now much slimmer than the last time they saw each other, but not in the areas that counted. She had a nice shaped ass and was well endowed on top. The blue dress she wore was very tight and showed a modest amount of cleavage. Brian guessed she wasn't a D-cup, but definitely a large C-cup. He was seated next to her at the table, and he did his best not to look at her breasts, but couldn't resist taking a glance at them now and again.
When he wasn't trying to check out her body, Brian was trying to make polite conversation with her. They had a lot of fun talking with each other, ignoring the rest of the family at the table. He found out that Carly's parents actually didn't want to come, made up some good excuse not to go; apparently, they didn't care for Derrick either, but still sent their daughter to have some kind of representation to keep a good relationship with his parents. Also, Carly didn't want to go any more than her parents didn't want to go, but they paid her a lot of money to go. They had a good laugh at that. They also had a good laugh at making fun of Derrick and wondering what was wrong with his new bride that she didn't see what a jerk he was.
At some point, before the wedding cake came around, people were called out to the dance floor, but only for couples to slow dance to.
"Brian, why don't you ask Carly to dance?" said his mother.
"It's alright mom, I don't feel like dancing," he replied.
"But she might want to dance, don't you, Carly?"
"I'm fine, aunt Sherry," Carly replied.
But his mother continued to say, "Please, I really want to get a few pictures of the two of you on the dance floor. You look so handsome tonight, Brian. And Carly, you're so beautiful. Brian, don't you think she looks beautiful?"
"Yes, mom, she's very beautiful," said Brian, as his face started to turn slightly red from embarrassment.
"We should dance just to make her happy," said Carly.
Brian agreed and escorted her to the dance floor. They got close to each other and began to slow dance. Carly's body was pressed close to his, making it more difficult not to notice how sexy she was, and being taller than her made it more difficult not to look down at her cleavage. They talked a little while dancing, which helped distract Brian from thinking impure thoughts about her. They looked over at Brian's mother now and again to smile as she took pictures of them.
The music changed to some alternative rock songs, and everybody on the dance floor let go of each other to dance along with that type of music, and more people joined the dance floor.
"Can we get out of here for a little bit?" asked Carly. "I'm getting tired of this place."
Brian took her by the hand and guided her out of the banquet hall without anybody noticing. They agreed not to go to the hotel bar because they didn't want to run into any relatives who might be having drinks there, and Carly was staying with one of their other cousins at the hotel, so all that was left was Brian's hotel room. He had some beer stashed in the mini fridge that he was going to drink on his own. He told her how he already had a plan to sneak out of the wedding for a while to chill out in his hotel room, which is why he got the beer ready there. She thought it was a great plan, and now at least Brian didn't have to watch TV alone while he slipped away.
In the hotel room, Carly kicked off her shoes and Brian did the same, as well as taking off his suit jacket and tie. He even undid the first two buttons of his shirt so he could breathe. He went to the mini fridge and pulled out two of the beers he had, opened them both and passed one to Carly. Carly went to the bed and set up a couple of the pillows so she could sit up on the bed to watch TV, and Brian did the same thing. He used the remote to find a comedy show, and they just sat there on the bed drinking beer and having a good laugh.
"This is great," said Brian. "I was planning to do this alone, but it's good to have someone to hang out with."
