I Need You

Chapter 43

TIM POV: I am the luckiest man. I get to marry the woman of my dreams, my best friend. I love her so damn much and to think I almost threw that all away. I arrived at my Aunt Barbara's house all dressed and ready to go. I pulled in the driveway and got out. I went inside. "Hey Tim" "Hi Aunt Barbara, Thank you so much for all this" I said as I hugged her. "Oh it's no problem" "So is anyone here yet?' "yeah just some. They are in the backyard." "do they know..?" "oh no. They just think it's engagement bbq party" "ok good" I went to go outside.. "Wait Tim.." "yeah." "do you want to wait for everyone to be here before saying anything?" "yeah but I want to talk to my dad for a minute and I saw his car out front" "Oh ok" I walked outside and saw Tug.. "Hey" "Hey Tim" He said and hugged me. "I'm very happy for you son" "Thanks da...Tug" "Tim it's ok, you can call me dad" "yeah but.." "it's ok, I understand" "Thanks" I than saw my mom and stepdad "Excuse me" I went over to say Hi and than I saw Horace. For everything he was, he has changed for the better. Back when he was married to my mom and after my mom had my two sisters Tracey and Sandy, he became a drunk and abusive. Thankfully my mom got us all away from him. But he always treated me like his son. "Hey dad" "Hey Tim, congratsulations" "Thanks" I said and hugged him. For some reason it feels weird to call him dad, but that's all I have ever known him as from the time I was a baby till I will 11 years old when I found my birth certificate. I just hope Tug is ok with all this. It's got to feel weird for him. After about an hour all the guests arrived. I went outside. "hey everyone, can I have your attention please for a minute" Everyone turned around. "Faith and I want to thank you all for coming to share this day with us and by the way, your are all here for a wedding" "everyone clapped and was totally surprised. Most of them were dressed casual and some in baseball uniforms since we have that charity game for Swampstock this afternoon and later that night the concert. "Everyone please have a seat" I had my brothers as my grooms men and asked Tug to be my best man. The music started to play. I Than saw the most beautiful girl coming down the isle. She takes my breath away!
