Chapter 20
You Are Cordially Invited (Part 1)
Rook's family had spent the few days before the wedding exploring the earth city of Bellwood. Rook and Ben took them around the city, showing them sites, and some of their favorite places. The girls and Dhaar were very excited but Da didn't seem to show much emotion. Ben's parents were busy with the wedding plans that were coming up soon.
Ben and the Rook's stopped at Mr. Smoothie for a quick one. "And no tour of our fair city would be complete without making a stop at Mr. Smoothies!" Ben declared as he walked up to the order window. "What is this Mr. Smoothie?" Da asked. "It's the best place to get a smoothie in the whole city! Ben exclaimed. "Do not worry; if I like them you will like them as well." Rook said bringing smoothies to his family members. "It is a shame your parents could not join us Ben." Bralla said. "Yeah, well they insisted on planning the entire thing." Ben said while slurping. "Mmm! This is so good!" Rook Shar declared. "Yes it is quite good." Bralla said as she tried the smoothie. "What is in this?" Da asked after he tasted the smoothie, he actually seemed to show some emotion. "Fruit." Rook replied. "I suggest we take them to Undertown, they would probably like the shopping." Rook suggested. "Yeah, that seems to be a good idea." Ben said just finishing his smoothie. The group went down to Undertown and did some shopping before returning back to Ben's house.
Sandra was making dinner for the large group when everyone returned. "Hello how was your tour around town?" Sandra asked. "It was interesting." Da said sitting down on the couch. "Oh well I'm glad you enjoyed, dinner will be done shortly." Sandra said to the group. "Oh let me help." Bralla said walking into the kitchen. The group sat down to a dinner of salads, fruits, and other healthy options. Normally Sandra would make something like fried chicken or meatloaf, but Ben insisted that the menu be as healthy as possible. "So guys, the big day is tomorrow, how are you feeling?" Sandra asked. "A little nervous." Ben and Rook said at the same time. Ben chuckled and Rook smiled. "Well that's natural." Sandra said with a smile. "When I was wed to Bralla, I stood tall and confident, never nervous." Da said looking at Rook with a frown. "This food is wonderful Sandra, thank you for your kindness." Bralla said trying to make conversation. "No problem." Sandra said with a nervous smile.
Later that night everyone settled down early as they would have to get up early. Ben and Rook laid in bed talking for a while. "Are you going to be ok, tomorrow?" Rook asked as he looked dreamily into Ben's emerald eyes. "Yeah, I'll be good, I'm actually excited." Ben said getting closer to Rook. "I am glad." Rook said with smile. Rook gave Ben a passionate kiss, and Ben buried his face in Rook furry chest, as he usually did. "Your fur is always so soft." Ben whispered as he played with Rook's fur. "I use the conditioner." Rook said smiling. "Well that's good, we wouldn't want you to have rough fur." Ben said playfully. "Do not worry; it will always be soft, just for you." Rook said giving Ben a kiss, exploring the inside of Ben's mouth with his long wide tongue. The two drifted off to sleep, dreaming sweet dreams.
It was the big day, the earth wedding ceremony of Ben and Rook. The morning started of chaotically, people rushing all over the place, getting ready, making final plans, making sure everything was going as planned. Ben came out of the bathroom after getting ready; he had his tux on, and was ready to be married. "Oh Ben, you look absolutely amazing." Rook said upon seeing Ben. "You don't look to shabby either." Ben said playfully while fixing Rook's tie. "I have never worn one before." Rook said as Ben tied the tie. "It's all good; they're easy to do; all done." Ben said getting a look at Rook. "You look amazing to dear." Ben said giving Rook a kiss. "I'll see you there." Ben said before leaving. Ben went early with his parents to make sure everything was being done properly; Rook would come later.
Ben arrived at Bellwood Park with his parents, and Ben couldn't believe how beautiful the park was. The decorations were yellow and white, which matched Ben and Rook's tuxedos perfectly. It wasn't long before people began arriving to the park. Alex and Zach were among the first to arrive, then accompanied by Gwen and Kevin, and then the Rook's.
People began taking their seats, as Ben and Rook took their places at the altar to begin the ceremony. The non-traditional reverend showed up last, and before making a few last minute checks, took his place to begin the ceremony.
"We are gathered here today to witness the union between Benjamin Kirby Tennyson, and Rook Blonko. Though they may be from different worlds, the vastness of the universe couldn't keep their love apart." The Reverend said in a commanding, yet gentle voice. They have written their own vows, Mr. Tennyson, you may begin." The reverend said. "It's hard to believe that this is really happening; Rook, from the very first moment I met you I knew you were special, and that I loved you. I truly believe that you are my soul mate, and I couldn't never imagine being without you. You give my life purpose and meaning, and I feel safe when I am with you. I vow here and now, to always be loyal to you." Ben said getting emotional. Rook started to tear up, and the audience was certainly moved. "Lovely, Mr. Blonko, you may begin." The reverend said. "Benjamin Tennyson, I could never imagined that life would take me to where we are now, and I would not want it any other way…I am truly complete with you, and I truly believe that without you, life is not worth living. You are my light, my muse, the bringer of joy in my life, and I do vow to always be loyal, and to always protect you." Rook said pausing briefly trying to burst into tears. "Wonderful, very moving." The revered said. "Ben Tennyson repeat after me, I Benjamin Kirby Tennyson." "I Benjamin Kirby Tennyson." "Do solemnly swear." "Do solemnly swear." Ben parroted. "To always love, protect, and be loyal to Rook Blonko." "To always love, protect, and be loyal to Rook Blonko." "In sickness and in health." "In sickness and in health." Ben repeated. "So help me God." "So help me God." Ben finished. "Ok , now Mr. Blonko, repeat after me." The Reverend stated. "I Rook Blonko." "I Rook Blonko." Rook repeated. "Do solemnly swear." "Do solemnly swear." "To always love, protect, and be loyal to Ben Tennyson." "To always love, protect, and be loyal to Ben Tennyson." Rook repeated with tears in his eyes. "In sickness and in health." "In sickness and in health." "So help me God." "So help me God!" Rook said excitedly. "By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you married, you may kiss!" The reverend said in his gently booming voice. Rook scooped Ben into his arms and gave him a long passionate kiss, as the two wept in joy. "I can't believe it!" Ben said. 'I love you so much!" Ben said to Rook who was weeping tears of joy. "I am sorry I am just overcome with emotion; I love you so much." Rook said taking Ben into his arms.
Ben and Rook stepped off the stage, to meet and greet people. "Grandpa!" Ben yelled as he rushed over to Max, hugging him. "Haha, congratulations Ben; here his is for you and Rook." Max said handing Ben an envelope. "Open later." Max said giving Ben a hug. "Congratulations Rook, how do you feel?" Max asked. "Very joyous." Rook said smiling. Ben had never seen Rook smile so big.
Rook and Ben spent a while talking and visiting with people, as well as collecting gifts and cards. Most of the attendees went on to the wedding reception party while Ben and Rook spent some alone time together before going to the reception. "One down one to go." Ben said playfully as he sat with Rook looking at the beautiful river as the sun set. "What a wonderful day, I do not think I have truly recognized the beauty of earth's ecology." Rook said looking out onto the river and the darkening lonely forest on the other side. The two newlyweds spent some time together taking in the majesty of the park, and finally being wed.
After long Ben and Rook went and joined the reception, to dance the night away, and to of course enjoy the company. Rook was trying to dance the way earth people do, but he was having some trouble. "No, you gotta' have some rhythm, let the beat dance through you, don't dance to the beat." Ben said laughing at the spectacle. "I am not exactly sure what that means." Rook said smiling and eventually laughing at himself. "Hey Ben, congrats." Gwen said giving Ben a light punch. "Thanks Gwen, I'm glad you could make it." Ben said. "You don't think I'd miss my cousin's wedding do ya?" Gwen said smiling. "Hey Ben, congrats, that was a nice ceremony." Kevin said. "Thanks." Ben said a little wary. "I know we haven't had the most stellar relationship, but I am truly happy for you, here, this is for you and Rook." Kevin said handing Ben and envelope. "I'll leave you two alone now." Kevin said before walking away. "So are you guys dating again?' Ben asked. "No, I told him I'd give him another chance, but I still need some time." Gwen said. "Well it's your business not mine; all I will say is be careful." Ben said putting a hand on Gwen's shoulder. "You know I will." Gwen said before walking away. "What's going honey?" Sandra asked. "Oh not much, just trying to comprehend what we just did." Ben said. "It'll sink in soon, and then you'll truly appreciate it." Sandra said giving Ben a kiss on the forehead. "Man I'm tired." Ben said yawning. "You'd be surprised how strenuous getting married is." Sandra said jokingly.
