After the ceremony, while Simon and his team directed the guests to the reception at the pavilion in one of the courtyards, Lauren led the bridal party to take pictures on the other side of the villa where there was a small red brick square with a beautiful marble fountain and surrounding flower gardens.

The shoot started with solo pictures of Kiki and of Justin, followed by one with the bride and her maid of honor and the groom and his best man. Then it was time for the group pictures starting with the bride and her bridesmaids, one of which being the traditional shoe shot.

“I know that face.” Kiki called out to her husband as the guys stood back watching. “You’re picturing me with just these bad boys on huh?” She teased and bit the tip of her tongue salaciously. He wiggled his eyebrows temptingly in return.

“Lalalalala.” Derek sang loudly, plugging his ears and Rachel grimaced.

“Ya’ll are nasty.”

Everyone laughed or clapped in agreement as the photographer excused the ladies and called the men forward. Kiki and Justin sauntered by each other, but not without a passing kiss. Once the guys got into order, after primping a little, the photographer was ready to begin again.

“Alright no jailhouse posing please.” Maya requested.

“Just for that.” Justin said and dropped down into a squat while the other guys followed accordingly in different poses.

As Maya scowled, the others laughed and then the men shifted into more fashionable positions. The favorite of their spectating counterparts featured them without their tuxedo jackets on and Justin sitting on the steps of the fountain, arms resting on his knees, and his groomsmen standing around him in various spots looking fine and dapper.

“Woohoo. Sex-ay.” Tami hooted, setting the women off into a gaggle of giggles.

“Thank you gentlemen.” The photographer said. “It’s time for the little ones now.”

Noticing they weren’t in sight, but hearing them in the background, everyone shifted to see Cheyenne and Robbie doing cartwheels and round offs in the lawn.

“Seriously?” Marissa laughed.

 “Mmhmm….Look at my baby.” Kiki sighed endearingly. “Just showing the world her panties.” She was shaking her head until inspiration struck and she asked the photographer. “Can you get a few pictures of that?” It’d be good embarrassment material when she got older.

“Ey you two.” Justin called out, chuckling. “Come over here so we can get your picture.”

Finishing their little gymnastics routine, the kids jogged over and positioning them accordingly, the photographer started snapping. Thankfully they cooperated long enough for him to capture some cute shots. One of them with the kids standing side by side smiling big and a comical one of them making a funny face, their fingers holding their mouths open at the sides with their tongues hanging out.

 “Mrs. Timberlake? I need you and your daughter now please.” The photographer informed her for the next set up.

“Cool.” Kiki beamed and strolled over to Cheyenne while Joey waved Robbie over with the rest of them. “Hey babyheart. You gonna dance with Mommy tonight?” She nodded excitedly. “Alright. Give me a bump.” Not even reaching her hips, Cheyenne did the bump into her mother’s legs as Kiki returned the move and the photographer capture the moment on film.

They shared a giggle, accompanied by everyone else watching them and then Kiki knelt down to her daughter’s level so the photographer could continue with the two of them squeezing each other in a hug, cheek to cheek; Kiki blowing a raspberry in Cheyenne’s cheek as she scrunched her face comically; and Kiki standing with Cheyenne perched on her hip as they smiled identically at the camera.

It was Justin’s turn with their daughter so her mother tossed her to him as he approached them and he caught the giggling toddler effortlessly.

“Alright baby girl. Let’s show Mommy how to work it.” He teased his wife and she slapped his butt as she walked away.

The shoot resumed with father and daughter Eskimo kissing;

Cheyenne standing in front of Justin, in between his bent knees, and grinning widely with him; Cheyenne screeching in delight as he tickled her; and finally, standing again, Justin smiling at her as she rested her little hands on his cheeks.

 “Mom, go right ahead and complete the picture.” The photographer instructed, still positioned behind the camera.

With a cheesy smile on her face, Kiki almost skipped over to join her family.

This set of photos showed Justin and Kiki kissing as Cheyenne looked up at them; Kiki and Justin kneeling down next to Cheyenne who had an arm draped over each of their shoulders and they each kissed a cheesing cheek; and a standard picture of Cheyenne held up in between them as they all smiled.

“And for the grand finale, the bride and groom.” The photographer anounced.

Justin placed Cheyenne on the ground and she scurried over to watch next to Robbie. Pulling Kiki around to stand in front of him, Justin wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped hers around his neck. He looked down and amazed. “My wife.”

“My husband.” She responded.

As they kissed the photographer snapped the picture. “Perfect.” He cheered.

The last set of shots were of the couple standing back to chest first as they kissed and then Kiki laughing loudly as Justin tickled her. A few more romantic pictures and the whole shoot was over.

“Alright.” Kiki clapped. “It is time to part-tay!”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

While waiting for the bridal party to arrive, the guests were mingling around the reception area and open bar; finding their seats, sampling hors d'oeuvre and sipping on cocktails. When the bridal party reached the courtyard, they met up with the parents to wait outside the entrance while Lauren went to present them. Standing at the microphone in between the DJ’s table and the simply band setup on the small stage in the corner of the room, she called everyone to attention.

“Excuse me family and friends. Can you please take your seats at this time? The bride and the groom have arrived.” The guests clapped, whistled and whooped as they took to their seats. Once they all were settled, she continued. “Before we welcome our bride and groom, we’re going to start with the parents of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis.”

Marc, the DJ, started playing Love Story lowly for entrance music and the crowd cheered as Frederick and Nina walked across the room to their seats at the parents’ table, beside the bridal table. Paul and Lynn were next, followed by Randy and Lisa.

“Now it’s time to meet the bridal party.” Lauren raved. “First we have Mr. Alex Velez and Mrs. Rhea Lewis.”

Each bridesmaid and groomsman couple made their way into the room, smiling and waving as guests clapped and took pictures. When it was Cheyenne and Robbie’s turn, Cheyenne was only able to contain her shyness long enough to get halfway to the table before all the attention from the cooing audience became too much and she ran the rest of the way, dragging poor Robbie behind her. The best man and maid of honor rounded off the presentation and then it was time for the couple of the hour.

“And finally, here they are, your bride and your groom…..Mr. and Mrs. Justin Timberlake!”

The whole room was on their feet as Justin and Kiki strolled out hand and hand. They were beaming as they waved and cheered along with their guests, making it to the middle of the dance floor for their first dance. Maya hurried over to take Kiki’s bouquet and she quickly wrapped her free hands around her husband’s neck. As soon as the beginning piano melody of Spoiled started, the whole room faded away for the bride and groom until it was as if they were the only ones who existed in that moment.

When Joss Stone’s raspy voice started singing live, Kiki’s mouth gapped open and her head whipped over to the stage. Standing in front of the small band made up of Kevin, Skip and John, the one that Kiki somehow failed to notice, was the songstress herself.

“Oh my God!” She screamed, turning back to Justin who was smiling brightly at her.

“Surprise Baby Doll.” He said and she threw herself into his arms, kissing him fiercely.

Pulling away from him, Kiki held Justin’s face in her hands and he pressed his forehead into hers, holding her close, as they stared into each other’s eyes. They swayed together to their song, lost in each other with their family and friends watching them in awe of the love they could feel radiating off of the newlyweds, a lot of them tearing up joyfully.

“Hey Kiki Timberlake.” Justin muttered, grinning cutely.

She giggled. “Hi.” He leaned in and they kissed.

When the song came to an end, the crowd clapped for both the songstress and the couple. As Joss walked off the stage and the applauding died down, Justin and Kiki moved to take their seats, but Let’s Take A Ride started. Kiki immediately stopped and turned around to look at Justin. Knowing this was her favorite of his songs and its sentimental value from their past, he put up no resistance when she pushed him back onto the dance floor.

Wrapping her arms around his neck, Kiki stared up at Justin lovingly as she sang to him. The chorus hit and he joined in with her. They giggled and kissed as they danced around, totally oblivious to anything or anyone around them, including their bridal party that had joined them on the floor.

The song faded out and this time, Justin and Kiki made it to their seats next to their daughter, with the rest of their party flanking them on both sides so dinner could be served. As the DJ spun a mix of dinner music, the wait staff started setting out baskets of breadsticks and selections of Italian, Balsamic and Caesar house salads. Next was the entrée that had been pre-selected along with the RSVPs from the options of filet mignon, grilled salmon or roasted chicken; wild rice or roasted Rosemary potatoes; green beans, a sautéed zucchini and squash medley, or steamed broccoli.

As everyone enjoyed their meal and dinner came to a close, Trace left his seat to stand at the stage and give the bride and groom a heartfelt congratulatory speech. It was the opening of the floodgate and his words were followed by sentiments from his counterpart, the maid of honor; tearful well wishes, nostalgia and comedic words of wisdom from their parents, and last, but far from least…..

 “Hello everyone. I have one more person here who would like to say a few things to the bride and groom.” Rachel said, taking the mic off its stand. “She has a little performance anxiety so bare with us.” A little person with a very familiar white and pink dress was partly visible behind her. “Come on sweetie.” She tried coaxing her out, but every time she turned to pull Cheyenne forward, she dodged her to stay in hiding. Crouching down next to her, Rachel said.” Come on. Don’t get scared now.”

“I’m not scared!” Cheyenne squealed stepping out of her hiding place with her hands on her hips.

“Here then.” Rachel challenged and meeting it, Cheyenne swiped the mic out of her hand. Rachel pulled an extra chair from the DJ’s table and placed her on it so everyone could see her.

Clutching the mic in both hands, she began. “Hi. My name is Cheyenne Jocelyn Timberlake.” The crowd snickered lightly at her formality. “And…um…um…I wanted to say that I like your wedding Mommy and Daddy…. even though you kissed and now Mommy has your cooties, Daddy.”

Kiki busted out laughing and Justin objected loudly. “I don’t have cooties!”

“Uh huh. You said all boys got cooties and I can’t kiss ‘em until I’m thirty and have a cootie shot.”

Kiki and the rest of their audience were rolling at their little debate.

“Yeah well…daddies don’t have cooties.” He countered lamely.

“Oh….Ok.” She nodded and then beamed brightly. “I love you Mommy and Daddy.” She blew them a smacking kiss and quickly passed the mic back to Rachel. The amused guests clapped for her and Justin called her to his side.

“Get over here.” Hopping off the chair, she raced over their table. He scooped her up by her upper arms. “I love you too, but you drive me insane you know that.” He playfully growled and jostled her before giving her a big, long wet kiss on the cheek. Cheyenne squirmed and giggled in his arms until he stopped and passed her off the Kiki. “Give Mommy a kiss and then you’re gonna buzz off for the rest of the night okay kid?”

“Okay Daddy.” She easily replied. Too easy. If he didn’t know his daughter or that devious look in her eye, he could actually believe she would scram….Yeah slim chance in hell!

Now that dinner and the speeches were over, it was dessert time so the wedding cake was brought out on a rolling cart and set off to the side of the bridal table where it was visible to everyone. After dropping Cheyenne off into Lynn’s lap, Justin and Kiki moved to meet their four tier cake and partake in the traditional cake cutting. As they were cutting their first piece together from the red velvet tier, cameras were going off all around the room.

Having abandoned his jacket before dinner, Justin rolled his sleeves up to his elbows to get more comfortable and armed with a small piece to feed her, he addressed Kiki and informed the audience as well. “Ok now we already agreed not to do the whole cake face smashing thing because my tux and your dress are too fly to mess up.”

Laughing with everyone, Kiki agreed. “Exactly. So come on.”

They moved to feed each other at the same time, but they were interrupted.

With her hands cupped around her mouth, Cheyenne yelled. “Hurry up please. We want some cake.” Balking with amusement, Lynn quickly covered her mouth so she couldn’t interrupt the traditional moment again.

The guests cracked up laughing as did her parents.

Justin stepped aside to see her across the way. “We? You mean you.” He pointed at her.  “Didn’t I tell you to buzz off? Mind your own business.” He stuck his tongue out at her and removing her grandmother’s hand from mouth, she returned the favor. “How about we smash cake in her face? I do owe her one.” He suggested to his wife.

“You go right ahead and do that. You’ll be running behind her for the rest of the night trying to get her to forgive you.”

“Good point. Let’s go.” He replied and they shared their first taste of their cake without interruption.

More cheering echoed from their guests and as the cake was removed from the floor so the wait staff could cut it up and serve it with coffee or tea. Justin and Kiki headed back to their seats, stopping on the way to chat with various people who called their attention. As the cake was polished off, the bridal party and the guests started leaving their tables to move around, hitting up the bar, dancing and mingling.

Clearing his throat, Frederick stood at the microphone and spoke. “Excuse me folks. I was wondering if the beautiful bride would grace her dear old Dad with a dance?”

Kiki wore a big smile as she stood from her seat where she’d been talking with Gina, Tori, and Denosh and met her father on the now cleared floor for their dance. Taking her father’s hand, Isn’t She Lovely began and they glided around the room.

Glancing at the people watching them, Kiki noticed that Maya, Tami, Alex and Derek had migrated to either stand or sit with their mother. “Dad look.” He turned to see their family and smiled back at them lovingly. Kiki blew them a kiss.

“Where’s your Lovely?” Frederick asked.

Kiki looked around again until she saw that Justin had miraculously managed to tear Cheyenne away from her second piece of cake and was holding her as they swayed to the music, having their own father/daughter dance. She could see that Justin was singing the song to Cheyenne as well.

“Right there.” She pointed at them and when Cheyenne saw her watching them, she waved wildly. Kiki blew them a kiss and she and her father finished out their dance.

Sneaking up on her son, Lynn asked her granddaughter. “Can I get a dance with my son pumpkin?” She nodded and since Kiki was headed their way, Justin passed her to her mother. It was now Kiki and Cheyenne standing by and watching Justin lead his mother around the floor for their mother/son dance.

With all the sentimental dances completed, the floor was now open for free dance and with all the dancers in attendance it was taken full advantage of. Given the bride and groom’s eclectic taste, as well as the diverse guests, it seemed like every genre in existent had played at least once.

At first, Justin and Kiki weren’t able to really start the party for themselves since they were being pulled in all directions together and solo so people could talk or get pictures of them. Thankfully they had awesome friends who rescued them from the onslaught; the girls pulled Kiki out on the dance floor while Johnny and Brian took Justin to the bar for a congratulatory drink.

After partying with her girls to one of their jams, they parted ways and stopping at the DJ’s table for a request, Kiki went on a mission. She sent out briefly, but polite hellos and rain checks to come back later as she moved through the room looking for her target. She thankfully found her easily, sitting at the table with her great grandparents, playing what looked like Go Fish with Robbie and Carrie.

“Excuse me Ms. Timberlake. Can I have my dance now please? Pretty please with sugar on top?” Kiki begged, making the kids giggle.

Cheyenne gladly took her mother’s outstretched hand and followed her out onto the dance floor. Kiki turned so they were face to face and let go of her hand.

“Ok you ready?”

“For what?” Cheyenne shrugged animatedly, her hands extended out at her side. Suddenly I2I started playing, her eyes widened as did a huge smile on her face and she jumped up and down, squealing. “It’s my favorite song!”

“I know. I told him to play it just for us babyheart so let’s do it.” They immediately started doing their thing, dancing and singing the song to each other like they did around the house whenever this played.

People who had been dancing around them, stopped as the music changed and looked around to see who was actually dancing to this.  When they began to notice the bride and her daughter putting on a little performance, they moved back and others migrated to the edges of the floor to watch.

“J, get over here. Pix is putting you to shame.” JC called to him where he had relocated to chill with Tim and his wife, Marty and Pharrell.

Justin moved through the tables and a cluster of people until he was right in front to see one of his favorite things to witness. His Baby Doll and his baby girl jammin’.

Kiki pointed at Cheyenne as she curled her body to the music. “You don’t have to worry, I won’t ever let you down.”

With one hand held out in a stopping motion and the other on her little hip, Cheyenne rolled her neck and sang. “Nothin’ gonna stop us now.”

They stopped singing to break it down again and Justin threw his head back laughing. As always his girls were working it and the crowd was totally mesmerized by the cute moment between mother and child.  The whole room was watching them both, but Cheyenne was definitely stealing the show. Watching her tiny spunky self grooving along to the music was so damn adorable.

Marc continued to spin various kid friendly music so all the children in attendance could have their time on the dance floor. Their short attention spans soon kicked in and the novelty of the dance floor soon wore off. Marc brought the good stuff back for the adults until it was time for another wedding tradition.

 “All my single ladies. Front and center. Time for you to go at it over my fantabulous bouquet.” Mic in hand, Kiki spoke out to the crowd and presented her flowers as if she was a model on the Price Is Right showing a luxury car.

“Your  fantabulously fake bouquet.” Bianca clarified.

“Of course. Ya’ll ain’t getting the real one.” She sassed, making the crowd laugh. “Now come and get it.”

Following Rachel, Bianca and Eva, Tami was walking to the middle of the room to participate when Joey appeared out of nowhere pulling her back.

“Your ass isn’t single.”

“I don’t see a ring on this finger.” She taunted him waving her bare hand in front of his face.

The other single groomsmen joined him and Trace said. “Rachel is the only one who should be up there.”

Bianca turned back to question her boyfriend. “Why? Afraid one of us might catch it and then you’ll have to marry us?”

JC, Joey and Trace all stuttered and stumbled trying to come up with something that wouldn’t get them into the doghouse.

“Don’t stress yourselves out too much because not one of us ever said we wanted to marry you anyway.” Eva sassed.

“Take that back!” JC exclaimed.

“Don’t make me propose to you woman.” Joey warned, pointing a finger at Tami. Little did she know, he had an engagement ring at their house, waiting to don that bare finger of hers with some candles, rose petals, chocolate covered strawberries and champagne.

“You better catch that bouquet.” Trace fired back.

The girls all rolled their eyes at the same time and trotted over to gather with the other women.

“Wait up, wait up!” Maya hollered as she jogged into the fray, shoes off and ready to throw down for the coveted bouquet.

“Mmhmm and where have you been?” Kiki questioned knowingly, considering the afterglow her sister was rockin’.

Maya glared at her with a look that clearly said for her to shut up. “You’re one to judge.” She volleyed back and Kiki giggled. “So don’t worry about it. Just throw the damn thing.”

“Woohoo. Let’s go baby.” Sage cheered her on as he appeared standing alongside the groomsmen. Maya turned to throw him a quick peck. “See that gentlemen? I may not want her to catch that damn thing, but I make her believe I do and thus I get laid tonight.” He surmised.

Liking his thought process, the guys started cheered them on in earnest as if it was a topless jello wrestling match. The bouquet was tossed and unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on who’s opinion, none of the bridesmaids, Bianca or Eva caught it.

“You guys suck.” Joey jeered and Tami smacked him in the back of the head.

The ladies were shooed away as Simon walked across the floor with a chair, placing in to middle.

“I need the blushing bride and her groom right over here please and thank you.” Marc announced, pointing to the chair. To the crowd’s amusement, Kiki pulled Justin behind her by his tie and he assisted her in sitting down. “Do your thang JT.” Marc rooted and right as Justin was kneeling down, he pressed play. SexyBack started playing and Justin stood back up as everyone broke out in laughter. He just glared at Marc trying to look intimidating and not laugh himself. Marc cut the music and held his hands up in surrender. “I’m just playin’. That was your bride’s idea so don’t kill the messenger.” Justin turned his playful glare down to his wife to which she pointedly ignored, refusing to look at him. “This’ll make it all better though.” Marc said and this time Loungin’ came on.

“Go head Daddy.” Kiki sang, looking up at Justin. “Who do you love?”

“That’s better.” He said and knelt to the floor. She giggled and he slid his hands up her left leg. The guests started hooting and woof whistling.

“Higher.” She instructed with a sly grin on her face once his hand was above her knee. “Higher.”

“Oh you’re trying to get me in trouble.” He said when he realized just how high up her thigh she had placed her garter.

Kiki shrugged innocently. “I thought I was being nice.”

“Yeah right.” He chuckled. “You got anything else on under there?” He hinted lavishly.

“Yes.” She confessed, looking down at her lap demurely. “But they’ll be coming off before we get on the plane.” Her eyes flared open and there was a saucy glint in them. Since their honeymoon destination was in Paris, they had plenty of time to take full advantage of her lack of underwear on the way.

“Mile High Club here we come.” He grinned and lifting her dress, he ducked underneath.

Their audience “oohed” playfully and scandalously.

With his teeth, he pulled out two garters, a white one for throwing and a special baby blue one just for him. “Thank you Baby Doll.” He grinned as he slipped his into his pocket. Standing up, he kissed her and turned to face the crowd. The music stopped and he bellowed. “Ok men. If you’re sorry ass is still single.” He chuckled evilly as they playfully booed him. “Huddle up!”

When they all were gather, Justin turned his back and pitched the garter into an arch that was headed straight towards the cluster of groomsmen. Every single one of them stepped out of the way when they saw it headed in their direction.

“Hey!!!” Eva outraged. After being haggard into making an actual effort for the bouquet, they hadn’t even pretended to try. The guys laughed and JC shrugged mockingly at her.

“Oh he is so sleeping on the couch tonight.” Bianca glared at Trace alongside the others.

When the garter did land, it was in Pharrell’s hands. He had reflexively reached out for it, but he immediately dropped it.

“Nuh  uh. That’s all you dude.” Justin teased, knowing his friend’s aversion to marriage.

“Hell no.”

“Dude look at the chick who caught the bouquet.” Trace reminded him.

Pharrell grinned when he spotted her. He didn’t have to marry her, but they sure as hell could have a good time tonight. And with that he picked up the garter.

The group of singles dispersed and the music came back on. Kiki and Justin dance a little bit before Kiki had to take a bathroom break, dragging Tami along to help with her dress. While she was gone, Justin took his chance to set his plan for his girls in motion.

As soon as Kiki stepped back into the room, Marc interrupted the festivities. “Attention. Attention everybody. The groom has requested that the floor be cleared and that the bride and the junior bridesmaid meet him in the center.”

Kiki stopped in her tracks and looked to the stage to see Justin moving into position to await them. She smiled and went to get Cheyenne who was probably having too much fun to have heard the announcement. She collected her daughter from the lawn adjacent to the pavilion where she’d been playing tag with the other kids.

Justin grinned widely when he saw Kiki emerge from a path between the tables with Cheyenne perched on her hip.

“What are you up to?” Kiki inquired. The music began and that’s all she needed to know.

“You knew it was coming.” He smirked, opening his arms to his girls.

She laughed and once their arms were around each other and their daughter, they started to move.

“I'm, I'm so in love with you.” Justin sang to Kiki.

Whatever you want to do
Is alright with me

It was Cheyenne’s turn to be serenaded and Justin nuzzled her neck, making her giggle.  “'Cause you make me feel, so brand new.”

And I want to spend my life with you
Me sayin' since, baby, since we've been together

Kiki reached out to pull Justin forward until their foreheads were touch and she kissed him softly. “Ooo, loving you forever. Is what I need.”

Let me, be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue
Ooo baby

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are….

“Good or bad, happy or sad.” Cheyenne joined in on her parents’ sing along.

Justin chuckled and kissed her nose. “That’s my baby girl.”

Smiling, Kiki lovingly stroke her little cheek.

Oooo oooo ooo ooo, yeah
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

Everyone watching was damn near swooning over the precious moment between the little Timberlake family. Lynn in particular was reminiscing fondly on times when she and her son danced together to his favorite song and she was moved to tears once again watching him pass on the same tradition, of sorts, with his own family. She suddenly felt a hand grasp hers and she turned to Nina who had mirroring eyes filled with happy tears. Their hands gripped tight in solidarity, both overwhelmed by the joy of seeing their children and their grandchild so happy and fulfilled together. With their husbands, Randy and Lisa sitting around them, they all shared in the same pride and joy.

Nearby, the brothers and sisters, best friends, aunts and uncles were just as caught up seeing that Justin, Kiki and Cheyenne had finally reached their happily ever after.

The song ended and Justin dipped his girls, making Cheyenne giggle. “That was fun.” She raved when Kiki set her down on the ground. “I sing the best.” She declared.

“No you don’t.” Justin argued.

“Uh huh. Yes I do.” She responded with an ire of arrogance that was very reminiscent of him.

“You won’t even sing most of the time.” She just blew his comment off, ticking her head saucily “Get out of here.” He feigned jumping at her.

She screeched and giggled, taking off back to play with her little buddies.

“Oh God what did I sign up for? You two are going to drive me insane.” Kiki groaned and grabbing her around her waist, Justin said.

“Probably.”

She giggled as he peppered her neck and shoulder with kisses and they walked off still wrapped up in each other. They went to the bar together for a drink when Justin’s Uncle Terry and Aunt Angie approached them. Kiki was polite as always to the woman, but she could only stand her in doses so she told a little white lie to excuse herself, slyly pinching Justin for the mocking look he kept throwing her since they arrived. She escaped to the other side of the room where her siblings and friends were sitting. Knowing that particular in-law grated her nerves the most, they all teased her and she flipped them off.

“Ok now Justin and Kik, I love you guys, but all this emotional crap is starting to get to me. Ya’ll almost had me crying for a moment there.” Derek proclaimed through the microphone.

“Almost?” Marc implied.

“Shut up.” Derek shot back. “Anyway. It’s time for us to really show out. I know you watched it last night baby sis, so let’s do it up Best Man style.”

Everyone who knew what he was talking about whooped and quickly headed to the dance floor as the intro melody of the song started. Kiki had kicked off her heels, picked up the side of her dress and shimmed out into the floor. Her friends were right behind her and all lined up, they started the dance.

It's like candy

I can feel it when you walk

Even when you talk it takes over me

You're so dandy                                 

I wanna know

Can you feel it too just like I do

When it became clear to those who weren’t familiar with Derek’s reference, that they were just doing the electric slide to different music, almost everyone was out of their seats and fell in line.

(hoo!)

This stuff is starting now

It's the same feeling

I always seem to get around you

There's no mistaking; I'm clearly taken

By the simple mere thought of you

Having been waylaid by Terry and Angie, Justin grooved his way into the middle of the floor to join his bride. As soon as he reached her, she threw her arms around him.

“There you are!” She exclaimed giddily.

“You think I’d miss this.” He replied and still facing her, he got in step with her. They danced, challenging and teasing one anther back and forth.

On all sides of the couple were their friends and family, their “inner circle” taking center court with them of course, having just as much fun especially with Derek and his friends adlibbing, acting out, being slick and silly. Justin and Kiki were truly having the time of their life. This day couldn’t get any better and they both knew that years down the line, they would look back on this day with some many great memories.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The end of the night was soon approaching and the bride and groom had to excuse themselves to change clothes and head to the airport to make their honeymoon flight. When they came out of the bride’s room in some comfy travel clothes, they went to the main entrance of the villa and found everyone lining the walkway leading to their limo waiting at the curb. They cheered, clapped and threw pink and back confetti as Justin and Kiki moved down the path hand and hand.

The last in line, closest to the open limo door was their family. They hugged or clutched hands with each of them until finally, the bride and groom said farewell to their baby girl, half asleep in her Nonnie’s arms.

Kiki immediately pulled her baby into her arms, hugging her fiercely. “Mommy’s going to miss you so much.” As anxious as she was to go on her honeymoon and as much fun as she knew she would have, she couldn’t want to come back home to her babyheart.

“I’m going to miss you too, but you and Daddy have fun.” Cheyenne said with her little arms locked around her mother’s neck.

“Yes we will. You make sure you have fun too with Uncle Joey and Aunt Tami. Okay?” Cheyenne nodded. “I love you.” They gave each other kisses and almost reluctantly Kiki passed her to her father.

“You be good you little troublemaker.” Justin said, tickling her. “We’ll call you every night before you go to bed and we’re gonna have a bunch of presents to bring home for you.” She had a big ol’ grin with that prospect, despite being sleepy and Justin laughed. “I love you baby girl.”

“Love you too.” She said through a yawn and with a kiss on the forehead, he passed her back to his mother.

“Bye babyheart.” Kiki said and she and Justin moved to climb into the car. They waved as the crowd yelled out a few more goodbyes until the door closed and the limo pulled off.

“Finally.” Kiki sighed happily, melting back into the leather seat.

“I know right.” Justin co-signed. “That was the best, but I’m so happy it’s over.”

“Mmhmm cause now we’re alone.” She said and grabbing the front of his shirt, she pulled his against her, kissing him hard.

She laid back along the length of the seat, holding him close as he hovered over her, sucking at each other’s lips. Kiki moaned into his mouth when Justin’s hands slid low to grip her ass. She dragged her lips away from his and moved her kisses to lave down the side of his neck.

“Mmm…Looks like married sex is gonna be just as good as ‘living in sin’ sex.” He groaned when she nipped as him hotly. “Of course that’s until you turn into a demanding, evil, frigid witch.” He joked and just as he hopped, Kiki froze.

What he wasn’t expected was for her to wedge her foot between their bodies and shove him back against the opposite side of the limo. Still he laughed as she glared at him.

“That’s the kind of wife you think I’m gonna be?!”

“Probably. You’re already evil and demanding. That’s 2 out of 3. Only one more to go.”

She fumed at him incredulously. “Fine then! Let’s get started now. No sex the entire time that we’re gone…..As a matter of fact, how about I have the driver take a detour home to drop you off and I’ll go to Paris by myself?” As she continued to rant, Justin was barely containing his laughter and he started scooting closer and closer to her. “You know you can-“

He interrupted her with a searing kiss, yanking her forward by the nape of the neck, totally turning her to mush. He pulled away and said. “I wouldn’t have you any other way and I think we both know you’d shoot yourself before you’d become frigid.” She grinned giddily, eyes half mast with lust. “Now shut up.” He ordered.

“Okay.” She replied and allowed herself to be pulled into his seduction. This was only the beginning of an amazing honeymoon and an even greater journey together for the rest of their lives.
