*Joey's POV*
"Mama, no!"

"Joey! You've got to wear a bow tie!" Mommy said, trying to tie a piece of cloth round my throat.

"No! No!"

"Daddy's wearing one. So are Uncle Mike and Uncle Tré," Mommy said.

"I not," I folded my arms and turned away.

"Fine," Mommy sighed. "Don't be a grown-up boy. Addy and Mona are being grown-up girls in their dresses. You'll be a baby."

"Gimme," I held out my hands to take the bow tie.

Mommy smiled. "Let Mommy do it so you look especially grown-up."

I sat still and let Mommy tie it around my neck.

"Oh, you look so handsome and grown-up."

I smiled as Mommy helped me get down.

"Now, show Mommy what you have to do," she handed me a pillow with two rings on it.

I walked across the room carrying a pillow, then walked back to Mommy and gave her one ring at a time.

"Well done, now go downstairs with Addy and Mona," Mommy smiled and took the cushion away.

I walked out, stumbling a bit, and reached the stairs. I whimpered.

It's a long way down.

I sat down, hanging my feet over the edge of one step, to think about how to get down.

Aha!

I pushed myself down to the next step and carried on like that down all the stairs.

I ran into the garden, where Addy and Mona were.

"Hi!"

I hugged my sister and then Mona.

"You pretty," I said, kissing them both on the cheeks. They smiled and giggled together.

We played in the garden until Aunty Liv came outside.

"Oh my God! You can't be out here! They'll be setting up any minute!" she ran over to us and took the girl's by their hands. "Come on Joe-Joe." We all walked inside and Aunty Liv sat us down with a pretty book. "Look at the pictures and stay here."

We looked through the book. I stood up and started looking for Mommy. I found a door.

"Come!" I yelled. Mona and Addy ran over. I pointed through the door to a hole. We crawled through the hole into a tiny little room. We all sat in there giggling.

"Stay," I said, crawling out. I found a plate of cookies Mommy made earlier and took it back to the girls. We ate them all. We stayed there for a while. Mona fell asleep, so Addy and I decided to take a nap too.

*Liv's POV*
Myla, Adie and I had just got dressed. Our hair and make-up was done and Annie was getting dressed in the next room.

"OK," I said, checking my hair in the mirror. "I'll go get Mona and the twins."

"OK, Myla, Annie and I will be down soon, are the boys here yet?"

"Yep," I said, peeking out of the window and looking out into the garden. "All the guests, everyone's ready."

I went downstairs as carefully as I could, lifting my skirt as I went. Billie ran in just as I walked in the living room.

"Hey, are you ready? People are getting kind of antsy." He stared at me, tilting his head.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It looks like you're... never mind. Are you ready?" he said, still staring at me oddly.

"Yeah, the kids are in the game room," I said as we walked through the hall.

I saw the book lying on the floor, deserted. "Oh fuck!"

"Where are they?" said Billie.

"I don't know," I gasped, feeling tears in my eyes. "I left them here fifteen minutes ago when we went to get dressed."

"Um, well, we'll find them, I promise," he said, hugging me.

"Where could they have gone?" I dried my eyes and looked around.

"Well, we know they aren't in the garden, or the living room, or the kitchen," Billie said, searching. "I'll check the closet."

He ran into the hallway and opened the door. He parted the coats and giggled.

"Come here," he beckoned me over. I ran over and peered through the coats.

"Oh!"

At the very back of the closet, Joey, Addy and Mona were fast asleep, all leaning on each other with an empty plate.

*Adie's POV*
I fixed Annie's veil and Myla straightened her train. The Maid of Honour, Stephanie, tied a blue ribbon into Annie's bouquet.

"So, you have a new pair of pantyhose, an old pearl necklace, a blue ribbon in your bouquet and a five dollar bill you borrowed from me?" Stephanie said, checking the items off on her list as Annie nodded. "Great!"

"OK, your father's downstairs, are you ready?" I smiled.

She nodded, beaming. "Yes."

I walked downstairs in front of her. Billie, Liv, Addy, Joey, Mona, Fred and Annie's dad, Richard were at the bottom of the stairs.

"Pretty Aunt Annie!" gasped Joey.

Annie blushed. "Thank you, Joey."

"Congratulations," Billie smiled, stepping forward and kissing her on the cheek. He took Myla's arm and walked out as the music started.

Liv gave Joey the pillow with the rings and walked out with him.

"Good luck sweetie," I smiled at Annie, handing Addy and Mona their flower baskets. I walked out with Addy and Mona either side of me.

When we were outside, we went to stand near Liv and Myla. We all turned towards the house as Annie walked out, her father beside her, Stephanie holding her skirt to make sure it didn't get ruined.

Mike beamed and took Annie's hand. They faced the vicar and the music stopped.

* * *

Fifteen minutes later, Mike and Annie were married. We had dinner, including some rather drunken toasts from Stephanie and Tré, and a rather touching piece from Joey, Addy and Mona.

We watched as Annie and Mike were driven away. Liv ran over.

"It's so fantastic," she smiled as we waved goodbye.

"I know," I replied, turning to face her as the car turned a corner. "Can you believe that she's having a baby!"
