LOVE DOESN'T ASK WHY
Chapter Fifteen
Rose woke up to the sound of the wedding
march being hummed in her ear by Jack.
"What time is it?" Rose asked sleepily.
"Ten," Jack said, feeling hyper.
"Then why did you wake me up? I still
could have gotten a good hour of sleep," Rose said, turning over.
"Then go ahead," Jack said.
"I can’t. You woke me up," Rose
said.
"Oh," Jack said.
"Yeah," Rose said, and got out of
bed. "I’m going to go and take a shower," she said, and she went into
the other room.

It was two o’clock when Jack and Rose entered
a little room where they would get their marriage license done before their
wedding. Rose and Jack signed their names on the marriage license. The captain
performed the ceremony. The rings were absolutely gorgeous, and so was their
wedding kiss. The oak doors to the ballroom opened, and streamers and rice were
thrown at them as they exited.
Libby and Frank were the first ones to greet
them as a newly married couple. Libby handed Jack and Rose a bottle of
champagne.
"Now, a toast to the newly married
couple, that they will be together forever," Libby said, and lifted up her
glass.
Everyone to took a sip and watched Jack and
Rose sip theirs.
All the guests applauded after they drank,
and Jack and Rose kissed. The band started to play, and Jack and Rose were the
first to dance. The band started to sing, and everyone applauded. Libby and
Frank held each other as they cried happily.
"Libby, I think this is the greatest
wedding we have done so far," Frank said, wiping the tears from his eyes.
"I know, Frank. How about another glass
of champagne?" Libby asked, handing him a glass.
"Sure. What the hell," Frank said,
and held the glass as Libby poured the champagne.
Jack and Rose danced around the ballroom.
They were in their own little world. Everything was a blur to them. The band
was singing one of their hits, This I Promise You.
Rose had tears in her eyes as she and her new
husband danced around the ballroom.
"Are you happy?" Jack asked.
"Yes, from now to eternity."
The End.
