Come Closer

James got home before I did, he had a meeting with all the guys this afternoon and said he would be home around 6, it was 6:30 and he was home.

I walked in the front door and slammed it behind me.

“Babe you ok?” he asked me. “You litterly have the face of death.”

“Oh wanna hear what happened today?” I was ready to go off on a rant.

“What can piss you off so much that you come in and slam the door.” He was joking.

“Khloe is all paranoid that she is a shitty captain, Sara and Kim almost got into a fist fight and Bianca tried to hit Bailey in the back of the head with a volleyball.” I said all that in one breath. “Oh and sorry about slamming the door.”

“It’s kinda hot anyway.” He winked at me. “You have already punched me in the face, what’s a broken door.”

“I’m just messing up your house.”

James got up from the couch and came over to me.

“Our house.” He kissed me, making me smile.

We stopped our little make out session to get a drink. I sat at the kitchen island while he was getting me a glass of water.

“Have you thought about getting married?” I was really nervous about saying it because I didn’t know what his reaction would be.

“I think we should just go down to city hall and do it right there, no big party just you and me.”
“Honey, as much as I would love to do that, I want to wear the beautiful white dress, seeing you at the end of the isle waiting for me, first dance and shoving cake in your face.” I said smiling at him.

“Whatever makes you happy.” He kissed me from across the island.

“But I do want to keep it small, just the team, a few close friends and our immediate family. I’m not really the type for big parties but you already know that.” He was smiling at the idea. “Maybe in like Mexico or something, a beach wedding.”

“You know what we should do tomorrow after my practice?” he put the glass in front of me and sat on the stool beside me.

“What’s that?”

“Let’s go to a travel agency and look at our options. I mean, there is no hurt in just looking.”

“Are you sure James, I mean I don’t want to scare you by jumping in too fast.”

“Oh yeah, let’s just see what our options are and go from there.”

“That would be perfect.” I said kissing him this time.

“Meghan, what are you doing? Are you ready to go?” James yelled as he walked in the door.

“Yeah, just give me a minute.”

Meghan came downstairs looking amazing as ever wearing black skinny jeans, black knee high boots, and just a plain t-shirt paired with the leather jacket James loved so much. The only piece of jewelry was her beautiful Tiffany engagement ring.

“Ok, I’ m ready when you are.”

“Meghan, have I told you how hot you are.” James just stood there in awe and saying to himself I can’t wait to marry her.

“Yes you have, and you’re just as smokin’” I smiled and kissed him.

When James and I got to the agency we were kindly greeted by one agent, Stephanie.

“How can I help you two today?” Stephanie asked.

“Well…” James piped up. “We are getting married and we want to do a destination wedding.”
James said as we sat down in front of her desk.

“Awesome, that is my speciality. You’re in good hands!”

I had my complete trust in Stephanie.

“Sorry, I forgot to grab your names”

“James Neal and Meghan Fuller.” I told her as she typed away on her computer. She asked us our home address and phone numbers.

“Alright, so have you thought about a location? Mexico, Jamaica, Cuba?”

“What do you recommend?” James asked.

“Well…I got married in Jamaica and loved it. There are so many different resorts and venues to choose from.” She pulled up the website of the resort that she used for her wedding and turned the screen towards us. “There are lots of packages you can choose from also; do you have a rough estimate on how many people will be there?”

I looked at James “We were thinking around 50 people, give or take a few. Not to big, just something really personal.” I told her as she typed away.

We looked at quite a few resorts and packages before we really got down to business.

“Do you guys know how a destination wedding works?” Stephanie asked.

“No idea.” James and I said to together.

“The actual getting married part is really expensive to get done down there so…”

“Money isn’t an issue” James said interrupting her. “We want nothing but the best.”

“Alright, awesome! Well there are a few different options that we can use, but first do you two have a date in mind.”

James and I looked at each other “Summer of 2015” James said. “I play hockey so really the only good time for me is in the summer.”

“Destination weddings in the summer fill up fast. I think we should settle on a date soon just to secure a spot.”

“Maybe 2nd or 3rd week in July” I looked at James and made sure everything I was saying made sense and also wanted his opinion.

“July 17th?” Stephanie asked.

“Perfect” James looked up at me and I nodded my head. Holy shit we just made our wedding date.

“If you want, I can look into this further and e-mail you some options that I find and you two can come in anytime so we can discuss booking.”

I gave my contact information to Stephanie, and James and I left with smiles on our faces.
“Holy fuck.” James said looking at me getting into the car.

“So uh…I guess we are getting married.” I said to him.

“I hope the date is ok, you looked a little stunned.” James put the car into reverse and backed out of the stall.

“I was just surprised that we came up with it so quick, I mean I’m so happy that we picked a date and everything but I thought you said you wanted to take it slow.”

“Well, I have no doubt in my mind that I want to marry you so why not just do it, unless you’re having second thoughts.” James quickly taking his eyes off the road to look at me.

“God no, seeing you today, asking questions, getting really involved in the process makes me want to marry you even more.” I looked at him.

“We have tons of time to get ready and plan everything, it will be all good.”

James and I got back home, but I had a slight problem. I am supposed to be leaving to go back to Ontario tomorrow. James and I discussed moving everything down here, so we decided that I would pack up all my stuff and fly it all down here and then it will be delivered to the house.

This is all becoming so real I thought to myself while in the shower. We have a wedding date set, I’m selling my house, trying to pack up all my stuff as fast as possible to move down and more importantly I am becoming a wife to someone who I have been in love with for 12 years.
