Having all the people you love in one room sometimes feels overwhelming. There aren’t many circumstances which allow it to happen and it never occurs naturally. One of the occasions will be without you and that is the most natural of all but for this, probably the second most natural occurrence I had everybody under one roof. I was stood next to the DJ in the social room of the football club I played for as a teenager. All those eyes fixed on me and I felt the love, the love of the room. The expectation of the announcement was weighing on people and I think most of them guessed it was a wedding announcement. Elly wasn’t showing yet and had been so busy that no one had been able to pin her down and buy her a drink. Actually no one knew that she drunk beer except me. It felt great though. Looking out to my audience. It felt better than the ecstasy highs of university. It was another powerful drug that had me dancing that day. Love was pumping through my veins, taking me higher than I ever thought I could float. “As most of you guessed.” I paused and winked at Elly. “Or were informed, much like myself,” A few polite chuckles. “Me and Elly are getting married.” This was greeted with applause and whooping. I had never been whooped in my life and it felt good. I held out my hand and Elly joined me, we kissed and there was another round of thunderous applause.
“Wait.” I said holding up my hands. “We will be welcoming two new members into the Williamson Clan.” It took a moment to sink in and then people began to realise. My Mum produced the scan of Andrew looking like a spaceman and girls began to cry. I have never been so happy to see my Nan crying but am not sure I had ever done anything that made her so proud and happy before. Then the party got started, appropriately the DJ chose the Black Eyed Peas, and I went to collect my free beers, hugs and handshakes. Luke and David sandwiched me between them and bear hugged me. “That isn’t the one we met before is it?” David asked. “Nah.” I replied. “So what, you ordered her off a bride website?” Luke joked. How close was that to the truth? What did it matter if we were in love? “It’s a weird story. I’ll tell you later.” I said plonking myself on the bar. “You’re full of weird stories.” David said and got the drinks in. Elly made her way through the throng smiling and then when she got to me finally let go of her smile, she looked like she had bitten into a toffee and tasted
