It was a not-so-regular Saturday. Rebecca Romero and Larry Knight were now married. It was the middle of the reception, when all of a sudden everyone heard this:
"Wait, what?" Logan said.
"You heard me. The supposed slut that you came in... is pregnant. It's your baby," Ashley said.
"Damn," Luther said to Anna.
"You better call Maury. You had a man before me... mind you."
"Oh my God," Anna said to Luther.
"Or do I have to remind you what you did? In front of everyone?" Ashley whispered to Logan.
"Do I have to remind you what YOU did... a slut is a slut." Logan whispered back.
All of a sudden, both Larry and Ashley's boyfriend Nate both grabbed him.
"Ohhhh..." Everyone reacted.
"If you ever..." Larry started.
"Ever call her that again..."
Now, how did we get to this point? Answer: we'll go back a few hours prior to the actual wedding.
A few hours earlier...
It was the wedding of Larry and Rebecca.
"Dearly beloved, brothers and sisters... and friends... we are gathered here today to celebrate the the unification of love between Rebecca and Larry," Solomon said.
"Isn't this romantic?" Anna said to Luther softly.
"I am a sucker for romanticism..." Luther whispered.
"I knew I loved you for a reason."
"I'm just here for the 'Forever Hold Your Peace' part," Luther said. Anna playfully hit him.
"Now, these two love-struck humans have written their own vows. Rebecca, you first." Solomon said.
"Larry, we have known each other for a long time. Some people here are surprised we're here getting married. I'm not. Larry, I love you. Whether we're thousands of miles away or the same city. Whether we have issues or not... I will always love you. And you will always be the love of my life, Larry Knight," Becky said. Anna made an "Awwww" face.
"And Larry..." Solomon said.
"I won't keep you long, folks. Becky, I love you. I love everything about you. From you becoming a teacher to that smile to that sexy tight body of yours..." He looked to Solomon. Solomon smirked. He knew what he was talking about. "Too much? Ok, too much. Look, we've had our issues. And we probably will have more. Just know this: I love you, Becky." Larry said.
"Amen to that, brother Larry. And now, ladies and gentlemen... the rings." Solomon said.
"Denzel. Denzel!" Larry said.
"Oh. Here y'all go. You look good, Becky. You look good," Denzel said.
"Rebecca, repeat after me... With this ring, I thee wed," Solomon said.
"With this ring, I thee wed."
"Larry, repeat after me... with this ring, I thee wed."
"Now... if there is anyone, anyone, who objects to this marriage of souls... speak now or forever hold your peace," Solomon said.
After a few awkward seconds of silence... a person spoke.
"Ummm, reverend. Minister... I have something to say..." Ryan said.
"Oh, Lord. What in the soap opera..." Luther said.
(Intro plays)
"Larry, I don't mean to take away Becky by any means. I just never got to say this to her," Ryan said.
"Oh, God, we might get a wedding and a funeral..." Luther said.
"I just wanna say... I'll miss you. You'll always be in my heart. Larry, take care of my girl, all right?" Ryan said. Becky smiled at him warmly. She mouthed:
"I'll miss you too, boys."
"Ok... anyone ELSE who objects to this marriage..."
After silence, again...
"Do you, Rebecca Romero, take Larry Knight as your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do," Rebecca said with a smile.
"And do you, Larry Knight, take Rebecca as your wife?"
"Yes sir, I do," Larry said.
"Then by the powers vested in myself and the powers of the internet, I pronounce you man and wife. Private, you may kiss your wife." Solomon said, with a smile. They kissed to cheers.
"BECKYYYYY!!!" Luther screamed.
Later at the reception...
"IT'S YOUR BOY DJ RICO! WE'RE HERE FOR LOVE! WE'RE HERE FOR A GOOD TIME! Make some noise for the bride and groom!" The DJ yelled. "Make some noise for the homie, Luther Lawson and his girl!"
"Thanks, Rico. We go way back like four wheels on a Caddy, homie," Luther said on the mic.
"Now, are y'all ready to meet the bride and groom?"
They applauded.
"I said, are you ready to meet the newwwww... Mr. and Mrs. Larry Knight?" Luther announced.
"Now introducing the groomsmen..."
"First, the presiding minister... Solomon Smith!"
He ran out, and fist-bumped Luther. "Next, the only female groomsman.. Kiki Jenkins!"
She ran out and also fist-bumped everyone.
"Next, a pitcher for the San Diego Padres, number 44... Jonathan Gibson!"
Jonathan ran out and fist-bumped Luther.
"And the best man... the baddest man with the baddest name... Denzel... VALENTINE!"
Denzel high fived Luther as he came out. He pointed back.
"What? He asked me to do that. Anyway... now, introducing the bridal party!" Luther said.
"Introducing first, one of my oldest friends... Gabby Torres!"
Gabby walked out and high fived Luther. Logan and Tucker were checking her out.
"Mmm, she's kinda hot," Logan said.
"I think you should keep it in your pants for now..."
"Next, Laura Martinez!" Luther said. She smiled at him as she sashayed out.
"Next, the pride of Greek Row, Ryan... LEWWWWWWWIS!"
All of his frat brothers cheered loudly. Luther and Ryan slapped hands multiple times, then side-bumped.
"And the maid of honor, the best friend of the bride, my girl... Ashleyyyyy MENDES!" Luther said, as she sashayed out. Almost every man was checking her out from behind.
"Dude, you see that? Every dude wants that ass. I got that ass. I did. I opened that ass up. So hot." Logan said.
"Yeah, Ryan told me. If you got Ash pregnant..." Tucker said.
"Dude, come on," Logan said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, now introducing the new happy couple! The newlyweds! The new... Rebecca and Larry... KNIGHT!" Luther yelled enthusiastically. Larry fist bumped him. Rebecca pointed to him, smiling. There were loud cheers, especially from Greek Row. The fraternity and sorority that once hated each other now came together because of Rebecca's love and happiness.
"And now, ladies and gentlemen, for the first dance. Performing Mariah Carey's 'We Belong Together' is my girl and yours... Anna Williams." Luther said in a deeper voice. "Go get 'em, Doll Face."
Luther kissed her on the cheek. The crowd said "Awwww", to his slight surprise.
Meanwhile, after Anna Williams performed...
"Becky, Larry, I just wanna say congrats. This is my first emceeing job. I'm known as a sports PA Announcer. We go back years. Since we were 16 at least. I was surprised to see that they were dating, much less getting married. Today I learned, the best relationships sometimes start as friends. Becky, you and me always had an unique relationship. But I'm going to miss you around." Luther said on the mic.
Becky mouthed back "I'll miss you too."
Ryan came up to them.
"Becky," Ryan said. "Larry."
"Look, can we talk?" He asked, eyes welling up with tears.
Meanwhile, Becky, Larry, and Ryan went elsewhere to talk.
"What's up?" Becky said.
Ryan hugged her tight.
"Oh damn..." Ryan said. "I apologize. My name is Ryan. Ryan Lewis."
"I heard about you. Oh yes," Larry said. "Ballsy move out there. Maybe too ballsy?"
"I meant what I said. I wasn't trying to take your woman or ruin anything. I just wanted to tell Becky that I'm going to miss her once you go out of town," Ryan said.
"Look, Ryan. You're young. You're smart. You're kind. You're sweet. I never said this on THAT night but... you reminded me of Larry," She whispered in his ear. Ryan looked at him, tilting his head. "A girl will come your way. Don't rush it, Ryan."
He nodded. Becky kissed him on the cheek and smiled.
"You know what... I'm going to miss you boy toys," Becky said.
"We'll miss you too!"
Back inside the reception hall... "Rhythm Is A Dancer" was playing loudly.
"Put your hands up! Put your hands up! Let me hear y'all!" Rico yelled.
"Luther," Nicole Thornton said. "You look nice."
"Well, thank you very much. If it isn't Nicole Thornton. What's up, Duchess?"
"Oh, Memories. Your old nickname for me. I'm touched. I wanted to tell you something," Nicole said.
"What is it?"
"I got peeped on again. And I got an idea who it is."
"Why are you telling me first? Did you tell Devon?" Luther said.
"He saw it."
"Nick?" Luther asked.
"Oh he knows. They're on the football team," Nicole said.
Luther scrolled through his phone. He eventually found her nude figure.
"Oh my sweet Jesus. You got got again. Wait. How do you know who..."
"Oh, let me enlighten you, my dear. I caught them jerking to me."
"Oh my entire shit. Then who is it?" Luther said. Nicole whispered in his ear who it was. It wasn't who Luther thought.
"Wait, them?"
Meanwhile...
"Logan?" Ashley said.
"Yeah?" Logan said.
"Just know this, this conversation changes nothing. Absolutely nothing between us," Ashley said.
"Yeah. Doesn't change the fact that I still tore your beautiful ass up." Logan said.
"True. Which brings me to this, Mr. Nash. I'm pregnant."
"Wait, what?" Logan said.
"You heard me. The supposed slut that you came in... is pregnant. It's your baby," Ashley said.
"Damn," Luther said to Anna.
"You better call Maury. You had a man before me... mind you."
"Oh my God," Anna said to Luther.
"Or do I have to remind you what you did? In front of everyone?" Ashley whispered to Logan.
"Do I have to remind you what YOU did... a slut is a slut." Logan whispered back.
All of a sudden, both Larry and Ashley's boyfriend Nate both grabbed him.
"Ohhhh..." Everyone reacted.
"If you ever..." Larry started.
"Ever call her that again..."
"Say it. Say it, I dare you to. You couldn't resist this ass. Let's see if you can resist. It won't change shit," Ashley said, angrily.
"I won't. Showing is better than telling..." Logan Nash said, showing her the flash drive. "I know some things you don't know! Keep it tight, homie." Logan said, walking away. Nate then clocked him in the jaw which got a collective:
"OOHHHHH."
"Damn! He got knocked the fuck out!" Denzel said.
"Can't say he didn't deserve it..." Tucker Knight said. "God don't like ugly..."
