Meant to be (Sequel to So close yet so far), chapter 2

"Jeebus you look great," Tre says going up to his daughter.
"Thanks Dad," She says hugging him.

"You nervous?" she nods. He kisses her forehead. "I can't believe you're getting married. There goes my little girl."

"Dad, I'm twenty-five," She laughs, "I'm not a little girl anymore."
"I know, you're a successful young lady, who I couldn't be prouder of."
"So I take it tensions between you and Joey are finally laid to rest."
"Tension? What tension?"
"Ever since Bianca found that condom you've been apprehensive towards him."
"Well what could you expect, Adie is uneasy around you," she laughs, "In her eyes you're the girl that tainted her baby boy."
"And Joey is the what now?

"The filthy pig who dirtied up my daughter," Tre laughs, "But none of that matters now, you two are getting married. You're meant to be."
"Jeebus Dad, you're going to make me cry," She says smiling. She hugs her father yet again.

"Joey's a good guy, a great guy." Tre mumbles. "The only guy I'd allow to marry you."

-meanwhile-
"Dude, you're really getting married." Jakob says handing his older brother his tux jacket. "Strange thought."
"Why?"

"I don't know, just is," He shrugs.
"I'm getting kind of nervous."
"Don't be nervous, it's Ramona, you're meant to be. Ask anyone."

"Hey Jakob." Joey says as he checks his red bow tie in the mirror. "What happened to you last night?"
"What are you talking about?"

"You left, I may have been drunk but I did notice when my best man went missing."

"I uh needed some fresh air; I went down to the lobby."
"You can't lie for shit, do you know that?" Joey states as he ties up his shoes. "Tell me the truth or I'll beat it out of you."
"Well I bumped into Stella in the lobby and we started catching up on old times."
"Cool."

"And then I slept with her." Joey nearly chokes on his own saliva at this.
"You slept with her!" he hisses.

"I know! We both were a little drunk and she took me to her room so we could talk in quiet and well I went for a kiss and got an evening full."
"Holy shit." Joey says staring at his brother, "So are you back together?"
"I have no idea." He mumbles, "She probably has a boyfriend or something."

Joey walks up the aisle in the wedding chapel and stands at the front nervously. He even starts to rock on his heels a bit as he waits for the wedding to start.
"Chill." Jakob whispers, "You're looking maniacal."
"Thank you." Joey snickers.
"It's what I'm here for."

The music starts up and Ramona's little cousin Dakota walks down the isle tossing flowers as she walks. Next down the isle is Ramona's maid of honor who just happens to be Stella steps lightly. Jakob tenses up and starts to turn red as if everyone were on to them. Then it was Joey's turn to tense up as the doors opened to reveal his bride. She was gorgeous practically glowing.

Ramona stepped to the slow pace of the music as she had her arm linked to her father's. She looked to the front of the aisle where her groom was standing eagerly. They get to the front of the chapel and Tre kisses her cheek then puts her hand in his son-in-law's. He sits down quietly next to his wife. At the rehearsal everyone joked about how asking Tre to be calm for so long would be impossible but the truth was the fact his only daughter was getting married rendered him speechless.

"We are gathered here today to celebrate the unity of Ramona 'Cool' Wright and Joseph Marciano Armstrong in matrimony. . . . ." the words seemed to just drift in space as the couple stared into each other's eyes.

"I Joseph, take you Ramona to love and cherish, for richer or poorer in sickness and health for as long as we both shall live." Joey says clearly.
"I Ramona, take you Joseph, to love and cherish, for richer of poorer, in sickness and health for as long as we both shall live." Ramona says smiling.

They hold their wedding bands timidly.
"With this ring I the wed." Joey says as he slips the ring onto Ramona's finger.
"With this ring I the wed." Ramona repeats as she puts the ring on his finger.

"Now do you Joseph take Ramona to be your lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold from this day forward?"
"I do."
"And do you Ramona take Joseph to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold from this day forward."
"I do."
"By the power vested in me by the state of California, I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss." Joey cups his new wife's cheeks and seals the promise of marriage with a kiss as the congregation cheers.

"I would like to present to you the new Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong!" the couple cheerily walk up the aisle as music starts up again.

*

"I can't believe we're finally married." Ramona says sometime during the wedding party.
"I know," Joey smirks. "Can't wait to get you out of that dress." She slaps his arm playfully.
"Well I'm just warning you, you better eat all you can now because on our honeymoon we're not leaving the room."
"Oh." He laughs as he sips his drink.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the fathers would like to make a speech." The DJ announces. Tre and Billie Joe each take a mic and stand on the DJ's elevated platform.

"Well this is really weird." Tre states bluntly, "Shortly after Joey and Ramona were born everyone used to crack jokes that I'd marry Ramona off to the Armstrongs." Everyone laughs lightly.

"Instead they snuck around our backs as teenagers." Billie says shrugging.
"But all that aside I couldn't be prouder of both of them." Tre says smiling "I've known Billie a long time."
"Yeah!" Mike cheers.

"and I couldn't be happier with who Ramona chose to marry, you raised a good boy Billie."
"And I couldn't be happier with my daughter in law." Billie says raising his glass. "The two of you were truly made for each other, I'd say good luck but you don't need it, you've already lasted this long."
"I concur." Tre nods. "To Ramona and Joey!" he raises his glass and everyone drinks in honor.

"And now I'd ask all the single women to make their way to the dance floor for the bouquet toss."

"My cue." Ramona says happily as she stands up. She walks down to where the DJ is set up and stands on the elevation.
"Now everyone ready? Everyone set?" The DJ asks eagerly, "Alright Ramona toss that bouquet!" She does as she's told and turns around to see Estelle standing there happily waving the bouquet in her hand.

"And now for the garter." Joey smirks evilly as he struts onto the dance floor of the hall. The DJ puts a chair in the middle of the dance floor and Ramona takes a seat. "Now ladies and gentlemen, Joey here has to remove Ramona's garter using only his teeth so we're going to need someone's tie to keep his hands in place."
"Here!" Jakob yells as he removes his own neck tie.

"Brother of the groom. Thank you." The DJ laughs as he gets handed the tie, "Now Ramona should I tie it or would you?" Ramona shrugs as she grabs the tie.
"Yeah she's had lots of practice with binding his hands!" Emma yells evilly. Ramona ties the neck tie around her husband's wrists and sits back down.

"So Joey, are you ready?" the DJ asks.
"Hell yeah."
"Alright, GO!" and like a shot Joey's head is under Ramona's dress and he's retrieving the coveted object. She can't stop laughing at the sensation of his hair tickling her legs. He finally gets a good grip of the garter and moves to slide it down her leg. "Ladies and gentlemen he got the garter!" Ramona stands up and unties him before giving him a sweet kiss. "Well now will all the single and strapping young men make their way to the dance floor."

Joey throws the garter over his head and like fate Jakob catches it.
"Alright let's have the maid of honor here. This couldn't be more perfect maid of honor and best man." The DJ says waving his hands. "Stella right?" he asks as she nears them, "Well hear we have Stella and Jakob and to continue Jakob has to put the garter on Stella's leg." everyone starts laughing hysterically. "So Stella, here's the tie." She casually goes to tie Jakob's wrists together, "Don't they make a cute couple." she sits on the chair meanwhile everyone is laughing hysterically. "Wow, you guys didn't laugh this hard for Joey and Ramona." Travis runs up to the DJ and whispers something in his ear. "Is that so, they were high school sweet hearts."

"Well Jakob." The DJ asks trying not to laugh, "Are you ready for a blast from the past?"
"Sure, why not."
"GO!" the DJ says putting the garter in his mouth. Stella blushes in embarrassment as the youngest Armstrong moves his mouth up her leg to her thigh. Joey is half tempted to yell he got farther than that with her last night! but he figures that could really cause some unneeded shit.

The excitement dies down as everyone goes back to dancing.
"I remember you're a good dancer." Ramona says taking her husband's hand.
"But that was dirty dancing." He says as he walks with her to the dance floor.
"Same thing, you just hold out on the groin." She laughs as she puts her arms loosely around his neck and she sways to the music.

"And now it's time for the father daughter dance, with a special request song." Ramona thinks back and doesn't remember making a special request for the father daughter song. Tre walks onto the dance floor and takes Ramona's hand as the Ramones song that she was named after plays.

"Oh Dad, you're such a cheesball." She whispers, he just smiles as the song plays. Half way through the song the DJ speaks again.

"Let's have all the father's and daughters up here." The dance floor crowds up again.

"I ask everyone to clear the dance floor once again." The DJ requests, "Now we have the mother son dance." Joey takes his mother's hand and leads her to the dance floor as the music starts to play.
"I'm really proud of you." Adie says almost teary eyed.
"Please don't cry Mom." He says smiling.
"I'm allowed to cry at knowing I raised you right."
"Oh jeez." He laughs.
"Since when can you dance?" she asks after the DJ called all the mothers and sons to the floor.
"Uhh, Ramona taught me." he laughs, "at one of our high school dances."
"Perfect girl for you."
"That's why I married her."

Once again Ramona finds herself dancing with her new husband. The song; Rock the Kasbah. "You can really shake it." She comments.
"Yup." He says smugly as he grabs her by the hips, "I'm just that sexy."
"Yeah but can you dance a slow?" she questions as the Clash song ends and some soft sappy one starts up.
"Umm."

"Can I have this dance?" Billie Joe asks walking up to her.
"Sure." She says putting one hand on his shoulder as they start to dance.
"You know I always knew you'd end up together." He says laughing. "You gave him his first kiss."
"What? No I didn't."
"Yes you did, I think you two were about three years old."
"Oh." She laughs lightly. "You're acting like an old person when you talk like that."
"But I am an old person." Billie smiles, "I'm glad you're my daughter-in-law, I'm not just saying that."

"Thanks, and you're a pretty awesome father-in-law."
"Ahh well what can I say?" he says, conceded must run in the family, "You know, the times I've seen Joey happiest were all with you."
"Wow." She says smiling.

"Well I'll let you get back to your husband now." Billie says as the song ends. Husband the term still seemed weird to her like this was all a dream.
