When I woke up this morning I leaned up on one arm and watched Jennifer as she slept. I thought back to that day when I rescued a young lady from the wreck of her parents' sailboat. I never for a moment imagined that I'd have a beautiful, young lady in my bed and that I'd be marrying her - but here we are. It will soon be time to wake Jennifer up. We have lots to do, breakfast for three (Martin arrived the day before yesterday) then the cleanup and a quick look around the house. Next we need to check on the big tent to make sure nothing happened overnight. Finally we need to be ready to welcome the boats as they arrive from the main island. At the last count there we were told there would be 5 boats with our invited guests. The first boat would be here near 10 am with the ladies who would be helping Jennifer and who would serve lunch to anyone who arrived before 1 pm. We have a few minutes though to partake in one of my favourite pastimes - pleasuring Jennifer. Last night had been quite warm and when I awoke I saw that sometime in the night, Jennifer had got out from under the covers. Ever since the night when Jennifer took her panties off as she slept in my bed, we've slept in the nude. That means that all of Jennifer's delectable body parts were available to me. First I gave her nipples a quick lick then lightly kissed my way down her body to until I could kiss her pussy. A quick glance back at Jennifer's face told me that she was still asleep - or at least faking it. Back to her breasts to give them another lick - a bit more forceful this time. Back down to her pussy, kissing all the way. This time, I put my tongue between the lips of her pussy and found her love button. "I could get used to being woken up this way, every day," Jennifer said in a still sleepy voice. I took another look and saw that her eyes were still closed. "Your wish is my command, your highness." I said. Jennifer opened her eyes and looked at me. "Smartass," she said. I laughed and Jennifer giggled. "I believe you have a little chore to do today, so maybe you should think about getting up," I told her. Jennifer looked over at the clock and with a deadpan look said "Yes, it's such an onerous task that I have to do today." She couldn't hold her laughter in any longer. Once she settled down she pulled me down to give me a lover's kiss. I took the opportunity to allow my hand to slide up until it was cupping her pussy then slid one finger into her moist slit and gently played with her clit. "Stop! We don't have time for that this morning. You'll have to wait until the guests have left then you can ravish an old married woman." Jennifer started to giggle as she said that. "Married? I certainly hope so, but old? I think not." I replied. I gave in to Jennifer's demands and left her get up and head to the shower. I waited until I heard her humming in the shower then climbed in behind her, reaching around to hold her breasts and tweak her nipples. "Stop that, you beast. I'm trying to get ready," Jennifer said. I grinned, kissed her on the neck then backed out and let her finish. While Jennifer was finishing up, I got the coffee started then went back to shave. As I finished shaving, Jennifer came out of the shower. "Let me see. Did you get all your whiskers off?" she said as she stroked my face. I took the opportunity to stroke her hair - the hair around her pussy. "Stop. I told you we don't have time for games this morning." Jennifer said. "Get in the shower." "My, my. Bossy today aren't we?" I said with a big grin on my face. Jennifer blew a raspberry at me then went to get dressed. ***** We finally managed to get dressed and once Martin arrived from the cabin, we got breakfast ready. With breakfast finished and the house straightened up, we headed out to make sure that things were ready for the day. As we stepped out I looked up at the sky and was delighted to see that, other than a few high white clouds, the sky was clear. It looked to be a perfect day for our ceremony. An inspection of the tent revealed that some of the lines needed to be tightened up but that was all. Earlier we'd collected some folding tables and chairs so we set about getting them arranged. Soon we had everything as ready as could be. While we were finishing up, the boat with the group of ladies who would be helping us arrived and soon they were busy setting things up. Jennifer drifted over to talk to them and I could see they were teasing her as she blushed on a couple of occasions. Martin and I stood off to one side and watched. "I think the ladies are trying to make Jennifer relax, and from what I see, they're doing a good job." Martin said quietly. "All brides seem to have some jitters and that good natured teasing will help Jennifer get her mind off things for a while." "I'd never thought of that," I replied, "and you're probably right. Those gals have been scheming with Jennifer about this day for a while so nothing they do would surprise me." ***** By the time 1:00 o'clock rolled around most of the guests had arrived and had helped themselves to the food that Jennifer's `posse' had laid out. Martin and I stayed out talking to the guests until about 1:30. I collected Ben who was going to be my Best Man and the three of us headed back to the cabin to get dressed for the 2:00 o'clock ceremony. When we got back to the new house, Martin went inside to escort Jennifer while I went to stand beside the Justice of the Peace who would be performing the ceremony. Since I'd been married before, I knew I'd likely have some `butterflies' in my gut but I wasn't prepared for just how nervous I was. (Sometime later I decided it was because of the differences in our ages.) One of Jennifer's `posse' had brought a boom-box and had a recording of 'Here Comes The Bride'. Suddenly, the music started to play and all of us looked over at the house just in time to see Jennifer, Elizabeth and Martin heading towards us. My heart did a couple of extra beats. This is it - Jennifer and I will soon be officially husband and wife. Jennifer had chosen a simple dress that could have been worn to any sort of `dress up' occasion and had opted for low heeled shoes. The only thing that made her look like a bride was the garland of flowers on her head and the bouquet that she carried. On our trip to visit our families, Jennifer and I had stopped into a jeweller's and purchased two plain gold bands. I glanced at Ben who quickly showed me that he had the one that I'd be putting on Jennifer's finger. The ceremony was simple and once we'd exchanged our vows, we exchanged rings, kissed one another and together with Ben, Martin and Elizabeth, walked down to join our guests. While we'd never said anything, we were pretty sure that most if not all of our friends knew that Jenifer and I were living as a couple - in every way. We'd already told those who asked that we weren't going to have a honeymoon - just take a few days to relax here. There were a few smirks at the `relax' comment but we'd expected that. Finally, the last of the guests (except Martin) left and we could retire to our house. I broke out the champagne I'd purchased for the three of us. After toasting with a `Cheers", I could see that Martin had something on his mind. "Well, Mrs. Brinkley, how does it feel to be married?" Martin asked Jennifer. I could see the look of realization come over Jennifer's face. "Yeah, that sound strange - Mrs. Brinkley. I knew that was what my name would be but having you say it today was a bit of a surprise." Jennifer went to Martin and hugged him. "Thank you for being the first to address me as Mrs. Brinkley and thank you so much for being here to `give me away'." Martin hugged Jennifer and kissed her cheek. "I wouldn't have missed this for all the tea in China. I was surprised and humbled when you asked me to give you away and I've enjoyed every moment of my time here." We chatted for a bit more then Martin excused himself. "I think it's time I headed back over to the cabin and allow the two of you to `relax'." he said using his fingers to indicate quotes as he said the word `relax'. Jennifer blushed slightly then gave Marin a goodnight kiss on the cheek. "I'm making pancakes and sausages for breakfast - 8:00 am sharp. We need to get going to be over at the main island for the community get together," she told Martin. Martin smiled, said his goodbyes and headed back over to the cabin.
