Saturday-Hollywood

My head was spinning, so many stores and so many people. We had only four weeks to throw a wedding together, four weeks. Lara quite enjoyed herself because she was dragging me around, tasting cakes, different kinds of fish, chicken and vegetarian plates. What she found most amusing was she got Carmen to convince Shane to come along on the adventure. Carmen was excited about trying different things out for their upcoming wedding, theirs a few months out from ours. Shane and I were the bored fiancées, not that we weren’t into it, we just weren’t the girlie type. Shane and I headed over to a coffee shop as demanded by our future wives so they could try dresses on.

“Could this day be any crazier,” Shane sighed as we sat with our coffees.

“I’m telling you, I’ve never seen Lara so excited.”

“Yeah Carmen is just as crazy, we’ve been buying bridal books and magazines for weeks now, I am glad she has someone to pal around with at the bridal boutiques.”

“Yeah me too, my schedule is so hectic, I barely have time to breath.”

“I know it; my career is starting to take a huge turn. Sherrie Jaffe has been dropping my name left and right down Hollywood Boulevard, and thanks to her, I start a job for Garry Marshall’s new movie on Monday.”

“Wow Shaney, that’s fantastic!”

“Yeah I haven’t told Carmen yet, but this movie means mega bucks, which means my love gets her dream wedding.”

“I can’t believe it, congrats,” I said hugging Shane, “hey by the way, I’m sorry if it seems we’re taking the light off your wedding.”

“No, it’s not a big deal. I know you want your mom to see you marry before she passes.”

“Yeah, and shockingly she is excited, I never thought she’d be happy about my gayness, but I guess she’s finally come to terms with reality.”

“Oh Dane, she would have loved you no matter what.”

“Well, I’m glad she has accepted me, and also Lara and Bexie, they are my future and the reason I live. We haven’t told anyone, so I need you to zip it,” I said and Shane zipped the imaginary zipper on her mouth closed, “but yesterday Lara and I went to the doctor so she can get inseminated.”
