Series 2

Chapter 9

2 weeks! That's all we had was 2 weeks until the most important day of our
lives. Lord help me. There was still so much to do. My hen weekend had been
and gone, which was wild success and all the girls (and guys) loved it, and
tom's stag night had gone down well with them all being very drunk from
what I had heard. Now however was the time to really focus on the upcoming
event? the wedding. The replies had come back from everyone that was
invited and for the most part everyone who was invited were coming. We had
the families coming, my mum and dad, my brother had agreed to come from
china but only if we paid for his flight which tom was quick to agree
to. Then my sister, her partner and my nephew, plus my aunty, uncle and
cousin. Then my 3 cousins from Ireland had agreed to come and with them my
first cousin Lisa (the eldest of the 3) was bringing her husband and
daughter and my cousins Aaron and Jonathan were coming alone. Then we had
Tom's mum, 3 brothers and then his grandparents (both sets), plus his
aunties, uncles and cousins and between them there were around 12 of
them. So his family was almost the same size as mine. Then of course we had
all our friends, Kash, Jake, Shannon, Sam, Ryan, Dannielle, Daniel, Chris
and Jack plus a few of tom's friends - Nikita and Sophie who I really
didn't along with but it was for tom so I would be all smiles for the
day. Then of course we had some family friends coming, so for example Tom
had invited Jack's mum and dad, then one of his mums best friends she was
coming with her husband and then one of his dad best friends and his
wife. We had limited ourselves to 3 family friends for the day event and
then more for the evening of which a fair amount of the ones we had invited
to the evening event had declined saying it was too far to travel, so for
the most part on both occasions it would be roughly the same amount at the
day as there were would at the night event. Of course I had invited my mum
and dads friends, Ian and Jan and they were bringing there son Phillip
along as he and I had been friends whilst we were growing up. Then I had
invited my mums friends Annie and Les and lastly some neighbours Steve and
Jackie along with their daughter Fay and son Adam who I had grown up
with. Tom had also allowed me to invite more, so I had asked two other
neighbours Carrie and Moira to come who had readily accepted as well
another of my mums friends Ann. So that was a nice way to see them
all. Additionally we had invited Jake's mum and dad, his sister Macey and
Sister Jodie, then his brothers Tyler and Dale and they were all to
attend. Then of course we had a few celebrities coming that we were both
close friends with that being: One Direction, The Wanted, Cheryl Cole,
Johnathan Ross and his wife, Michael McIntyre and his wife, Gabbie and
Vernon were coming from the splash team. Plus Andy who was Tom's coach
along with his wife and then Jamie our agent and his long term
girlfriend. Additionally I had invited Daniel's mum, his twin brother, plus
his older brother, his girlfriend and their two children. Plus there were a
handful of others that we had both agreed on but the final total came out
at 100 people staying.

When I had originally booked the hotel, I had also booked out all the rooms
that being 93 rooms. Now I had the wonderful task of sitting with a room
list and assigning people to rooms, so that the hotel had an idea of who
was coming and what rooms they were to be in. I was hoping that people like
Ian, Jan and Phillip wouldn't have to share rooms but I was sure that we
would be okay. I mean after we did only have 95 guests that would be
staying the night and most of those were couples.  So there I sat allocated
rooms and writing down who were in which rooms. I enjoyed doing this part
alone and in silence so that I could think straight. This took me an
hour. I was seriously hoping that Tom was going to be more helpful when it
came to the day itself. Although I was very sure he was planning something
I just hadn't quite worked out what yet. So after spending so long sorting
the rooms, I then sat on my laptop putting everyone's food selections on a
spreadsheet so that the chefs at the hotel were ready to cook the food. I
then had to decide on evening food, which I had decided on a standard
buffet the hotel offered. My final part for the hotel before I drove over
there was a table and seating chart. For the most part Tom and I had worked
on this together and come up with where each and every person would sit. We
also came up with a funny way of naming each table after a different type
of dive. So on the head table there would be our parents, the groomsmen and
best men, then on a separate table would be our families that were not on
the head table with the exception of Tom's cousins, aunties and uncles as
there were a lot of them so we put them on a table of their own. After that
we just spread everyone out. With only 100 people to seat and 15 people to
a table it was easy enough to do it.

Finally after several hours of work I printed the bits the hotel needed,
grabbed my stuff and jumped in the car to head over to the hotel. The drive
took less than hour and when I arrived the hotel was buzzing with
activity. Because everything was happening at the hotel from the ceremony
to the day and evening events, tom and I had decided not to hire a wedding
car and just drive ourselves there separately. He was getting at the
apartment on the day and I was at the house. All the other guests could
simply drive and if they had no car then we did have the arrangement of
organising cars for them to be taken to the hotel but so far there was no
need for that. Additionally with a lot of the guests travelling from
distances we had arranged for all the guests apart from those who were
local to stay at the hotel the night before the wedding so I had a bill to
settle for that as well. As I entered the hotel I was greeted by Mel, who
was the events planner for the day. "James great to have you back." She
said. "Thanks, I have brought you all the info you need." I said handing
her the documents. She checked them over and then said, "All brilliant
that's just what we needed." She told me. "I also need to settle the bill
for those guest that are staying the night before the wedding." I told
her. "Yes, I have the bill for that here." She said handing me a bill. The
total was ?16,000 for those to stay the extra night. "Your hotel will have
made a killing on this by the end of all of this." I said handing her my
debit card. "We aim to please." She said as I entered my pin. "That's great
all gone through." She said handing me my card back. "Last thing is, would
you like a tab behind the bar for the day?" she asked. "Yeah Tom and I
talked on that, we would like for just everyone's drinks to be put on one
big bill. Then we can settle that after the wedding." I told her. "That's
fine, we can certainly do that. I will make the bar staff aware of this on
the day as well, and I will be around for the ceremony to make sure things
go smoothly." She told me. "That sounds great." I said. "also I have taken
a call from Hello Magazine, they have advised that two photographers are on
for the wedding, one will be staying here the night before and will then be
on hand for the whole day, the other will be coming to your home address to
take pictures as you get ready." She told me. "Great." I said. "If there is
anything else you need do let us know, otherwise we have everything now,
the tables and decoration have been colour coded to the scheme you asked
for." She said. "The team GB colours, I love it." I said. "Also can you let
me know when there is a good time to get a hold of your husband to be, as
he called to make a request and I wanted to let him that I have spoken with
the relevant people and all is fine." She told me. "Hmmm a request eh? I
wonder what he has been planning." I replied. She smiled at me. "He did say
it was to be kept quiet, so I can't say anymore I'm afraid." She told
me. "Say no more, I knew he was planning something." I told her. "Well he
wants to make this day about showing how much he loves you." She told
me. "Do you know what this surprise is?" I asked. "I do indeed, and if I
may say. I think you will love." She answered. "That just makes me want to
know more. But I can wait." I replied. "Well enjoy the rest of your day and
I will see you on the wedding day." She replied. "Thanks Mel." I replied as
I left. I climbed back into the car and headed home to work on more stuff
for the wedding. The DJ wanted a list of music to choose from so I sent him
a long list, but he wanted to know our first dance song and Tom had chosen
one but other people had suggested songs to add to the day so I had to send
him those. The suits had arrived for which I was grateful so they were all
hung up in the spare rooms. When we originally planned the day, Tom and I
weren't sure what to do about the whole being given away thing as we both
wanted to be given away. So at the last minute we decided to both be given
away by our parents, with him going first and me I guess being the blushing
bride. So I made sure that Tom's mum was ready for that as my mum and dad
were as well. The whole thing was just a big nightmare for me as I was
normally so organised.

But finally at 3pm after sitting on the phone to people and making sure
that everything was sorted I finally breathed before I realised there were
some small bits that I needed to sort. I grabbed the house phone and called
Toni and Guy to book myself, Daniel and Jake hair appointments for the
morning of the wedding which they were happy to sort me for at 7:30am. Then
I booked eye brow waxing for us all the day before. Lastly I grabbed a list
from my bag and saw the make-up colours that everyone had been tested for
on their skins to find the right tones to match them, that included me,
daniel, tom, Jake, jack and Chris and I grabbed my stuff again and drove
into town to head for boots. Spending 45 minutes in there while the woman
grabbed six different foundations followed by powder and some other bits,
then grabbing six different bottles of perfume for us each and then the
other bits I finally paid ?265 for it all. As I was leaving boots, my phone
went off. "Hello." I said not recognising the number. "Mr Leete, it's the
jewellers here. Your wedding rings have just come in that you ordered for
delivery into the shop from the shop you bought them from in London if you
would like to collect them." Said the woman on the phone. "I will be in to
collect now." I told her. "Great, see you soon sir." She said hanging up
the phone. I headed for the shop and picked up the rings before heading
home again. Getting home I went into the front room to find Jack and Tom
and Chris all munching food with their feet up talking all spread out
across the sofas. "Oh that's it, come home, mess up my house and take a
load off I would. It's not like I have been busy all day trying to sort
this wedding out." I said in frustration as I dropped onto the sofa next to
Tom. "Sorry babe, I thought you were out collecting Jake." He said. "Shit
Jake, I forgot." I said sitting up. "Its fine, he knew you had forgotten
because he normally gets a phone call from you, so I sorted him a
taxi. Stop stressing." Jack said calmly. "I'm sorry, I'll be glad when this
is over." I said. "Babe, you're stressing over nothing, what else is there
to do." Tom asked me cuddling me. "Nothing more to do now until the day
before the wedding, where me and Jake and Daniel have eye brow waxing and
day of relaxation. I have booked, paid and bought everything else that was
needed today and dropped the last bits off at the hotel." I said. "Then why
you stressing?" tom said. "I'm not now." I replied grabbing a fag and
lighting it. "How did it go at the hotel?" he asked me. "Good, they were
happy with everything we had done and I paid for the rooms for the guests
to stay in the night before the wedding." I told him, then thinking about
what Mel had told me. "Oh yeah, by the way Mel told me to tell you that she
has spoken to the relevant people and everything is fine for whatever
surprise you have planned for me." I said. "Oh man, she wasn't supposed to
say anything." Tom said looking annoyed. "Don't worry she didn't tell me
what you planned all I got was that message. Now it's making me nervous
what you have planned." I said kissing him. "You're going to love it. I
have actually had the last bit of the confirmation sorted today so I know
we are all set for it." He told me. "Oh god, I'm scared." I replied. "Don't
be." He said kissing me again. "You know I can just find out what you have
been doing by looking at our bank statement online. It will show who you
have made payments to." I told him. "Ahhh that's where your wrong you see,
I did this on my Amex card, which you can't see." He replied. "You don't
have an Amex card." I replied. "That's what you think. I do now." He said
pulling it out of his wallet. "Sly fucker. I can guess your passwords." I
replied. "James, don't ruin it. I have gone to so much effort for this, for
you." He replied. "I won't I'm teasing you." I giggled. "Good." He replied
again kissing me. "Have you two and the other two all written your speeches
yet?" I asked Chris and Jack. "Nope, but we will." Jack replied. "You
better." I replied. "Who else is going to be speaking?" Chris asked. "Me,
and I think your dad is too babe." Tom replied. "You are?" I asked. "Yeah,
it's tradition for the groom to speak." Tom said. "So I guess I really am
the bride for the day." I replied. "I think you are James." Jack replied. I
threw a pillow at him from the sofa and he simply laughed as it hit him.

Later that night after Jake came home, he and I cooked his amazing
Brazilian curry for the 6 of us before curled up on the sofa with yet
another film. We had seriously turned into film guys and always watched
something either newly released or something we all enjoyed when we were
younger. Tonight was the turn of Magic Mike and we all certainly loved the
film watching Channing Tatum get his kit off "Reminds of the hen do." I
said aloud to which Daniel and Jake both laughed. "Yeah badly." Jake
replied cuddled up on the sofa with Jack. We all laughed and continued to
watch the film. At 11pm, we all took off to bed and as I climbed into bed
Tom curled in behind me and wrapped his arms around me. Normally now we
would be getting down to naughty things but we had both agreed not to have
sex with each other until the wedding night. 2 weeks of no sex would kill
me, but then I always had my right hand and the never ending amount of
naked pictures I had of tom on my phone. "I love you." I said as he curled
up to me. "I love you too, I can't believe we are so close to getting
married." He said. "You are still sure you want to do this?" I asked. "I
have never been surer of anything." Tom replied. I smiled as he kissed my
neck. "FUCK ME!" I heard come from Jake and Jack's room. It sounded like
Jack. "Well at least someone is having sexy time." Tom replied. "It was
your idea that we don't." I said laughing. "I know I know. But still not
long to go now." He said kissing my neck again. "Enough or you will turn me
on." I told him. "Okay, I'm sorry. Good night." He said kissing my neck one
more time. "Good night." I replied turning off the lamp and drifting off to
sleep.
