Pauline walked down the stairs after she put to bed PJ and Kevin. It's only had been a few days ago when they announced their loved ones that they're getting married this summer. They both prefered July because this year Stevie, Stephanie's son, starts his first year at school and Romeo has to leave for Connecticut where Yale Universtity is. And because of that they both said end of July will be the best possible date.
Pauline walked in the kitchen and saw Jesse sitting on the kitchen table with his laptop turned on in front fo him. "What are you looking at?" she asked him. "I'm looking for the best wedding package for Hawaii. I've found some hotels which also provides wedding packages. This one is my favourite." Jesse told her and moved his head so she can take a look herself.
"Oh my God! Jesse that's really beautiful! I can imagine the view." Pauline answered with her eyes rolled as she moved the chair and shut next to him. "Do they have a package too?" Pauline asked. "Yeah they have these for 2022." Jesse answered and scrolled won the page to where the wedding packagies were listed. Pauline and Jesse saw three packagies based on the number of the guests. They both were thinking the same thing: They had no idea how many guests they wanted to invite.
"Do you thinking what i'm thinking?" Jesse asked her. "I'll go get paper and a pen." Pauline said and stood up from the chair. She returned a few seconds later. "Okay, i don't want many guests. It will be hard to travel all the way to Hawaii, since we don't have an another option." Pauline told him as she shut next to him.
"Me too. I was thinking about max 50." Jesse answered and moved more to his left so she could write down. She's left handed and she was writting in a way that always made Jesse laugh. He's right handed and he always found the way left handed people were holding the pen a little funny.
"So we got 4 my family and 4 yours." Pauline said and write it down. "Stephanie 3. Cody 3." Jesse added. "Richie and Ava 6 together." she wrote it down. "Uncle Matt and Tony 4. I don't think my cousins can leave New Jersey because of their work." Jesse said. "Yeah, you're right about that. So, write 4 just be sure." Pauline answered.
"Now, we have uncle David and Tico. That's a 7 no doupt." Jesse said and looked at the paper which was almost half filled with names and numbers. "And last but not least Melina 2 and Maria 3." Pauline said and curcled the number of 37 guests. "So, 37 guest." Jesse said and shut back on his chair.
"Yeah. We should called them. It's very nice hotel and i don't want someone else got the date before us." Pauline told him while she was searcing with her eyes the phone. Only to find it right in front of her been held by Jesse's palm. "You call them." he told her. "You're better with words." he added. "Okay, but i'll put on speaker." Pauline ansswered and start tupring the number.
She looked at Jesse next to her and before she even knew it a woman had picked it up. "Pacific Beach Hotel, how can i help you?" the woman on the other line said. "Hey, i want to tell me some information i need for the wedding packagies you're providing." Pauline started a little hesisated. "Yes, of course. Do you have any package on your mind?" the woman asked. "No, we don't. But i see here that seperate the packages based on the number of the guests. We have 37 guests and we'll really love that package. I'm reading now the options of the menu and i'm getting hungry." Pauline answered and heard the woman laugh with her too.
"I think you should talk with mrs Christensen. She's in control of all of the weddings. I'm passing you to her right now. Thank you and enjoy your day!" the unknown woman told them before she hung up the phone.
Pauline looked at Jesse and said "Let's wait and see." Jesse looked back at her smiled. "Hey!" an another woman answer the phone. "Hello." Pauline started but the woman had already spoken. "Mrs Conah had informed that you're looking for some wedding packagies is that correct?" "Yeah, that's right." Pauline answered. "Alright then let's get started. First, the date." "We're thinking about 23th of July?" she asked a little scared of a negative answer.
"23th of July it's really a nice day. How many guests?" "We've 37 guests. And right now i'm looking the package up to 30 guests and i was wonding if we could book this one." Pauline looked at Jesse who nodded at her making sure he likes this package too. "Since it's only for 7 guests i think we can do something about that too." the woman answered. "That will be really great. We appreciate very much my future husband and i." Pauline told her.
"Give me a second to write this down. Can you please your names?" "Sure. It's Jesse and Pauline Bongiovi." Pauline answered smiling. She loved the way it sounds "Pauline Bongiovi Timson. Yep that's my name!" she thought to herself a spare momment. "You said Bongiovi?" "Yeah, that's my fiance's last name. Is there any problem? Do you want me to spell it?" Pauline asked back.
"No no! I know how to write it. It's just a think you'll never understand." "Don't worry about that mrs Christensen. I'm a fan too." Pauline finally answered as Jesse sighed. "Yes, i know mrs Bongiovi. But we have a wedding to organise here and start a Jovi chatt will not help at all." mrs Christensen answered and laughed with Pauline for a couple of seconds.
"Let's back to work! So, about the menu what are you thinking?" "We're thinking about the 'Farm to Table' with entree braised beef short ribs with cabernet thyme sauce." Pauline said. "Very nice choise." mrs Christensen answered and wrote those down. "Now, the whole thing with 37 guests will cost you 9,620 USD." "And with the rooms?" Pauline asked. "That depense on you. But i can book you rooms for 120 per night regadless who many guests will stay in each room." the woman said.
Pauline looked at Jesse who nodded one more time. "Yeah, i think we can do that. We want 13 rooms. And it if it's possible the 2 of them must have cribs, we'll need three cribs in total." Pauline answered back. "That's not a problem. We will call you tommorow or the day after for more details. I"ll call on this number?" "Yeah." Pauline answered. "Okay. Thank you for your choise i'm sure you will not regrate it." mrs Christensen answered and hunged up the phone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pauline was listening to that annoyied sound that Skype was making when you're calling someone. "I told her 9.30 to be there." Pauline said to Jesse who was standing next to her. "She's here. She never misses a call from you since she moved to Tokyo." Jesse answered. "Yeah, you're right." Pauline said and looked back at the laptop and saw that Malina had answered.
"Hellooo to beautiful New Jersey!I hope it doesn't rain there too. Where are the boys? I want to see them. Pauline i saw the picture you send me a few hours ago. Man you too make beautiful babies!" Melina said with one breathe that on Greek. They always talked in Greek. They are still greek even though they have different nationality now. Jesse was looking at Melina with his eyes wide open. He didn't get a word from what she just said.
"Hello Jesse. How are you doing?" she asked him now in English. "I'm pretty good thank you." Jesse answered. Melina looked at Pauline who was keep looking at her. "Oh i know that look. Tell me. NOW!" Melina demanded. "Have you checked your e-mails recently?" Pauline told her. Melina could feel that something was going on. She knew it from the sound of her voice that somehting was up, but she didn't know what.
"No, i haven't. Why?" Melina asked them back. "You should check it." Jesse answered. Melina was looking at them with a weird look on her face. The connection wasn't that good and she couldn't see their faces as clear as she wanted to. Melina took her phone in her hands. She sighed in and an e-mail from Pauline popped up on the screen. Melina looked up and them.
She opened the e-mail and read out loud "I hope your boss will gives a few days to maid of honors." Melina was still trying to understand what she had just read and without even knowing it she opened the picture that was under of the words. It was their wedding invitation.
Her eyes rolled as she read it. "Oh my God!" she creamed on Greek and Pauline laughed. "Do you want to be my maid of honor?" Pauline asked her while she was keep looking at them. "Of course and i do. I will not miss your wedding!" Melina answered and start laughing. She couldn't believe it. It was the fourth time she had read the invitation and still couldn't believe what her eyes were watching.
"Oahu, Hawaii? You couldn't find anything closer to New Jersey?" Melina asked them with her eyebrows raised. "Is the only state that allows couples with different religion to get married. So, we didn't have many options." Jesse explained to her. "Oh i see." Melina answered. "Have you picked up a dress and a suit yet?" Melina asked a few seconds later.
"No. But i don't think will be that hard. It's a beach wedding and i think a nice white dress will be great. Plus, we need to find some nice clothes for PJ and Kevin too." Pauline said. "White dress. I think i can find a very nice white dress. We'll be dressed on white?" Melina asked. She wanted to know what their plans were in order to find the best possible dress to where, she's the maid of honor after all.
"We haven't talked about that yet. We only know the place, the time, the guests and the song." Jesse answered. "Which song?" Melina asked curious as always. "Always." Pauline answered and smiled. "Rihanna's new hit? Do you really think that this song is the best wedding song you can come up with?" "Why everybody thinks it's this Always?" Jesse asked and looked at Pauline.
"My Dad said the same thing when we told them." Jesse added and looked at the camera. "Is not that Always right?" "Nope. It's the bands. I don't really know why they offered to play it live. I CD will work as fine." Pauline answered. "Eh hello! Because it's you are getting married and they want to be more passionate than a cold CD?" Melina said from the other part of the world.
"Maybe. But just this one. They should enjoy the wedding too." "Pauline they'll play just this song for you! I think that's very nice of them." Melina said. "Yeah, you're right." she answered and looked at her best friend who was half a world away.
