Chapter 146: Extra Story of Key and Rika 17

Ch. 146 / 164 Sep 17, 2024

"Still, we have a reception to go to," Rika said. Key was also excited about that.

"I can not wait to dance with you in my arms." Key said back.

"I must warn you, dear. I still might have three left feet." Rika spoke.

"I will be your three right feet. We could do the funky chicken and I still will be so happy to be dancing with you as your husband." Key spoke back.

Rika chuckled. "And I will be happy to dance with you as your wife, too," Rika told him.

After a little bit, everyone headed out of the ceremony and into their cars. Key and Rika rode in separate cars. Rika rode with her family while Key rode with his mother and groomsmen in another car. Now, everyone was on their way to the reception to celebrate with the newly wedded couple.

The guests arrived before the bride and groom at the next venue where the reception was about to take place. As everyone entered the second venue, Key and Rika stayed back until all the guests were in the venue. When they finally entered the building, Key suddenly held one of Rika's hands in his as the two of them looked at one another.

"Are you ready to have some fun, honey?" Key asked.

Rika smiled at him.

"Yes, honey. I am ready to have some fun!" Rika replied. Both of them turned their heads forward once again and began to walk to the room where their guests were waiting for them. When they entered the room, their guests clapped and cheered for the very happy couple. Rika leaned over and gave her newlywed husband a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Key did the same with one of Rika's cheeks, too. He placed his mouth up to one of her ears. "I am so happy to be your husband." Key whispered to her. Rika did the same with her mouth up to one of Key's ears, too.

"And I am so happy to be your wife," Rika whispered back. The bride and groom were also introduced before everyone clapped and cheered for them. The bar was finishing setting up to open as well. But first, the newlywed couple and their friends and family took photos for about 30 minutes. It was nothing but smiles all around. Key felt so happy to not only be a married man but married to the woman of his dreams.

After the last of the photos were taken, everyone settled down once again to have dinner. Key and Rika decided to use both Asian and European dishes at their wedding. Before wanting to do the first dance as husband and wife, Rika and Key were very hungry and so were the rest of the guests, before dancing, they decided to get something in their stomachs so neither of them would get sick and/or light-headed. Key cared more about Rika's health than the first dance. Rika cared about Key's health, too.

They also decided to have a buffet at their reception for dinner. People sat at the table with their plates. Rika and Key sat together at a giant, rectangular table. Key's mother sat on Key's side and Rika's father and mother sat on Rika's side of the table. While everyone was eating, David, Ella, and one of Key's groomsmen decided to make a toast for the couple. And David was going to go first. He gathered the guests' attention. Including Key and Rika's, too.

David took a breath before he spoke. "Ladies, gentlemen and all and in between. I wanted to say a few words about Key and Rika and have a toast for the amazing couple, too. At first, I was worried about my baby sister dating because Key was her very first partner. But a while after they began their relationship, I could see that Key truly does care and love my sister very much. And I am glad that Rika has found someone that loves her for who she is. They are truly perfect for each other and I hope that both of them have an amazing and very loving marriage!" David spoke to everyone.

David then handed the microphone to one of Key's groomsmen, which happened to be Zane.

"Hello, everyone! I would like to say a few words as well about the happy couple. Key has always been such a very sweet and kind person to everyone that he has ever met. When he told me that he was in love with a woman named Rika, I also was worried because I never met her but Key has spoken about her quite a lot. But in the end, I am so glad that they are married and very happy with each other. Rika is perfect for Key and I hope the two of them have a wonderful marriage together." Zane spoke to everyone.

David and Zane lifted their glasses. Everyone else did as well for the toast.

"To Key and Rika! May the rest of their lives be filled to the brim with nothing but happiness, love, and bliss!" David spoke and then he and Zane slightly moved their glasses as a toast to the couple. So did the guests.

After Zane and David sat back down in their seats, Key and Rika looked at one another with their glasses in their hands.

"To us." Key whispered to her with a smile on his face as he had his glass towards her. Rika smiled back as well and held her glasses towards her husband, too.

"To us," Rika whispered back. The two of them quietly touch their glasses together for a mini toast two of them. Key gave Rika a quick kiss on the lips before the two of them sat up in their seats once again and then finished their meals before hitting the dance floor together for their first dance as husband and wife.

When Key and Rika were on the dance floor, Saint went over to the booth and asked for a microphone while handing him a CD, too.

Saint wanted to do something special for his best friend and his wife. Key and Rika looked at Saint.
