There had never been a more beautiful bride. Kayla looked simply hot and adorable in her long Valentino gown which showed off her baby bump flatteringly. She looked so beautiful. Few things can make as dramatic a statement as a backless wedding gown …a drop-dead detail that is sure to have all eyes focused on a bride as she makes her grand entrance on her wedding day. And that was exactly what Kayla set out to achieve.
She couldn’t possibly hide her baby bump. So she decided to be daring instead, by wearing a gown that would not only draw people’s attention off her bump but would also drop jaws and ensure that she was the center of attention on her day. Kayla achieved this by baring her back to the very top of her butt, with a breathtakingly low backless lace Valentino wedding dress that fits the shape of her body like a glove. The beautiful train on the dress created a flare at the bottom, which flattered the curve of her lower back. The stunning completely backless wedding dress drew all eyes to the arch of Kayla’s back, just as she’d wanted. She looked simply stunning.
“Close your mouth little brother,” Jean whispered to Dean as he teasingly wiped at the nonexistent drool on Dean’s lips with a handkerchief. “You’re drooling.”
“Damn…” Dean breathed, captivated by the alluringly sexy sight of his bride.
The wedding took place in the lovely Aburi Gardens. And there were a lot of well-wishers there to support the happy couple. The Broody clan was over the moon…their baby was getting hitched. The seven groomsmen, comprising, Cole, Michael, Kyle, Chris, Damon, Matt, and Tyron all looked breathtakingly striking in their tuxes.
Jean was the best man. And as best man, he got to walk hand in hand with the beautiful maid-of-honour, Briana. Briana exuded sexy elegance in a plain and simple two-strap lace backless Valentino dress, with a scoop back that people couldn’t help but adore. Like Kayla, her whole back was exposed but for the fashionably amazing scoop covering her shoulder blades. To get on Cole’s nerves, Jean never failed to keep his hands on Briana’s exposed lower back, give her tiny kisses or hug her whenever he could.
Cole was fuming! It didn’t help matters when Jean kept sending Cole silly winks whenever he noticed Cole glaring at him. The guys had so much fun watching Jean and Cole.
Michael and Lucy Broody were so happy they both kept wiping at their eyes. And when Dean and Kayla were finally pronounced husband and wife, Lucy shed silent happy tears. She’d known her baby would come through for her and he hadn’t disappointed her. Lucy was ecstatic.
All in all, it was a simple, touching, and graceful ceremony. At least till the reception…then all hell broke loose. Tristan, who was the MC for the occasion, did a really good job of keeping everything light, funny, and totally classy. His very first words…
“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s been a very emotional day. Even the cake is in tiers…” got everyone laughing. The music was good, the atmosphere was charged with excitement and everyone had a really good time.
When the time came for the best man’s speech, Dean groaned because he knew his twin brother was going to be his usual naughty self. Jean calmly pulled a paper out of his pocket and began to read almost lazily, about what a wonderful husband Dean was going to be, how he was loyal, handsome, kind, how he was loved by everyone…etc. Then he paused, squinted at the paper, stumbled a little over some words, and then turned to face a surprised Dean. Then with a straight face, Jean handed a confused-looking Dean the paper and then pretending to avoid the microphone, mischievously said loudly to everyone’s hearing…
“Dude, your handwriting has gotten terrible. I can’t read the rest of what you’ve written.”
The look on Dean’s face was priceless. That classic move by Jean brought the house down. Kayla had tears in her eyes from laughing so hard. Jean then went ahead to make a very important announcement to the guests.
“Well, Kayla is moving in with Dean now, so it looks like all the ladies will have to give up their keys to his place.” Jean sounded dead serious, staring intently at the guests.
There was total silence. One could have heard a pin drop. Kayla gasped with shock. When she felt Dean stiffen beside her, her heart started pounding so hard.
“What is he doing?” Kayla whispered to Dean, who gently took her hand in his and held on to it tightly, slightly shaking his head to indicate that he also had no idea what was going on.
“Ladies, I’m not kidding.” Jean went on, looking all serious. “Give them up. At least one lady must be bold enough to…”
Before he could complete that sentence, Alice stood up, looking totally hot in a little red dress and killer heels, and started towards Dean and Kayla’s table. Kayla was shaking, her heart pounding so hard whilst looking from Alice to Jean. When she heard Dean swear beside her, her eyes instantly filled with tears. Alice had made it clear she wanted Dean when they met at the Broody home months earlier. Was something going on between her and Dean?
Then to the utter disbelief of everyone, including the confused couple, about fifteen more really hot young ladies in the hall got up and started walking towards Dean and Kayla’s table. Kayla’s mouth opened in surprise. Amongst the ladies were two cousins of Dean’s, two of Kayla’s bridesmaids, some of Dean’s friends, Mary, Michael’s wife, and Jen, Matt’s fiancee, and finally, Lucy Broody’s older sister, who was over seventy years old.
All the ladies walked to their table and dropped a key each in front of Dean. Dean’s auntie, who was the last to get to their table, stood in front of the couple with her back to everyone, opened her blazer, and shook her frail body at the couple. And just as she’d planned, everyone looking on from the audience assumed she was flashing Dean. What they actually didn’t know was that she was wearing a t-shirt underneath her blazer which said, ‘Everyone thinks I’m flashing you right now’.
And when that mischievous old woman turned around to face the guests and posed for people to read what was written on her t-shirt, they just couldn’t hold their laughter. People were screaming with laughter. Kayla had never laughed so hard in her life. Dean and Kayla later found out that Jean had actually selected those ladies…including their old auntie, and given them a key each, just to confuse the two of them. The squad, who were also the groomsmen, was in on that crazy plot too. Kayla made a mental note to punch Jean after the reception, for putting her through that heartache.
“Your brother is nuts.” Kayla leaned closer to Dean and whispered. “But I guess it’s true what they say…’it’s just not a proper wedding unless the best man pisses off the bride’.” Kayla laughed.
“I’m going to kill him,” Dean growled. He’d known his brother would definitely pull a prank but this…
By the end of Dean’s speech, people were in stitches, some were wiping tears from their eyes and Kayla had her head on the table, both in mortification and hilarity because his parting shot was just as hilarious.
“They say the best man’s speech should never be longer than the groom’s penis. Either I forgot this very important fact, or my brother is really packing.” He turned around to give Kayla a slow wink. “But looking at that baby bump, I must say Kayla found out the hard way.” Then turning to the guests, who had erupted into laughter, Jean raised his glass and toasted: “To the happy couple. May all their ups and downs be in between their sheets.”
Everyone was on their feet laughing, applauding, and drinking to Dean and Kayla.
It was indeed a wedding to remember.
