I hummed after she’d softly scratched from my back up to my neck. We both laid on the couch with my covering up to her midsection. She pulled all my hair to one side then started growing through my scalp, “I’m going to be Mrs. King tomorrow.”483Please respect copyright.PENANAjbI7wlOxti
483Please respect copyright.PENANA4ADjBom87T
She leaned down and kissed my forehead and I smiled incoherently. Then I forced my heavy head to peer at her with a random thought, “...I want our kid to have both of our last names.”483Please respect copyright.PENANANMqMfNcyIP
483Please respect copyright.PENANAw4FHKSBzeI
“When we do the certificate we could write it like that. Hart-King or King-Hart?”
483Please respect copyright.PENANAPnBSxcr5D8
“Mmm i don’t know that's a bit of a difficult question right now.”483Please respect copyright.PENANAQLKVFMkZLA
483Please respect copyright.PENANA3pTxUuTMLO
We went back into a comfortable silence until she spoke again, “You know you could’ve gone out and partied like Cherry wanted to.”483Please respect copyright.PENANA9z8dei4lY4
483Please respect copyright.PENANAZcWcOKqRAO
“You know I’m not much of a party goer so it wouldn’t have been fun. Are you trying to get rid of me so soon?”483Please respect copyright.PENANAd9xs9u05Cx
483Please respect copyright.PENANAoDFkEs6orF
“No honey but it feels like your staying because my friends weren’t able to make it here tonight.”483Please respect copyright.PENANAXxzL5vZYXd
483Please respect copyright.PENANAeB69OL3Z5h
“I can have all types of reasons.”483Please respect copyright.PENANA7xnlrZoE2G
483Please respect copyright.PENANAySnO38ORxl
“That I do know,” I moved up and sat on her abdomen. I messed with the hem of the blue shirt she’d had on and was about to go down lower, “We are not having sex. I want to wait until our wedding night.”
483Please respect copyright.PENANAzkMZ3M7pT6
“But- why?”483Please respect copyright.PENANABheqATP56h
483Please respect copyright.PENANA85t9ow3oaA
“Because It might be to just wait all of one day and cherish you as solely mine. Or that my dad threatened that I'd be wallowing in my grave if I didn't hold up to my jewish traditions.”483Please respect copyright.PENANA0WuTwti6Qw
483Please respect copyright.PENANAaOin56w0zu
She draped her hands around my waist and I did my best not to think of them as advances, “List off what we were doing for the ceremony again.”
483Please respect copyright.PENANAfLl90xpAEP
“You forgot?”483Please respect copyright.PENANALgAZCpQhQT
483Please respect copyright.PENANAmSX4eljdfH
“No, I just like hearing your accent come out. I can’t believe I hadn't noticed it before.”
483Please respect copyright.PENANAudGQVH8IVm
“I’m glad Malcolm was licensed to agree with them.”483Please respect copyright.PENANAIZGoMm1MUP
483Please respect copyright.PENANAT7B7dWJRGW
“We’ve kinda had it easy other than like in the beginning of finding where to do it.”
483Please respect copyright.PENANAU8xZeG7IfD
I placed my arms around her neck and leaned my head into the crook of her neck, “Early tomorrow morning we’re going to visit a rabbi for Aufruf. It's where we’d be called to the Torah for a blessing and it's customary if anyone wakes up and wants to come with us that they throw candles at us.”
483Please respect copyright.PENANAH7FmrAzmmA
“Then what.”
483Please respect copyright.PENANAEwtdUHJiUP
“After that and a little later, my dad, your mom, and your aunt since she had raised you will sign the ketubah. Usually it’s only two witnesses though. I'm unsure whether it's going to be either before or after your walked down the aisle.”483Please respect copyright.PENANAo8bC0ss6j5
483Please respect copyright.PENANA8HZFMYvAdt
“What is the Ketubah?,” I groaned when it came out, sounding nothing like how she said it. 483Please respect copyright.PENANAHTA3ayR2A3
483Please respect copyright.PENANAsu5Kol4uyl
“Ketubah?,” She mocked purposely and expertly copying exactly how I muttered it.483Please respect copyright.PENANA2qtnNlxDOV
483Please respect copyright.PENANAQp1KYHt8nN
“You know what I mean.”483Please respect copyright.PENANAudgz2pdWRn
483Please respect copyright.PENANAUWG7QusjWo
She laughed and I pinched her neck avoiding looking up, “It's just an outline of my responsibilities to you and the conditions I'll provide in the marriage. And during the signing I will come to you and veil you. That is called the Bedeken, showing i love you for your inner beauty. There's the Chuppah and Circling but I skipped it then the ring exchange as you already know. Sheva B'rachot which are the seven blessings but I wanted to do it in a more intimate way since I have to brush up on my Hebrew to speak them to you.”483Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZSSW89IiA
483Please respect copyright.PENANAMwdRKf4Gab
I leaned up grinning then kissed up her neck to her cheek, “In what kind of intimate way?”
483Please respect copyright.PENANAm1McNTxS96
She was distracted and increased her hold on me for a moment yet sadly a short one, “...We're gonna drink wine first and I'm going to make some statements then end with a blessing to our future. I kinda wanted to do it before or after I took you on our wedding night. Then again someone hasn’t left me alone to study it so it might be on one of the nights of our honeymoon.”

“I bet you can’t. After the ceremony and we break out to eat there's the breaking of the glass and mazel Tov. I skipped the Yichud and Hora and Mezinke because we were just going to dance once and then hightail it out of there.”483Please respect copyright.PENANAjMqd09906T
483Please respect copyright.PENANAbGfsRaVOLX
“I still haven’t perfected the slow dance so if I step on your foot I'm telling you sorry in advance.”483Please respect copyright.PENANA5eO3SIZbTM
483Please respect copyright.PENANA7AkuoKjcty
“I think I'd be too distracted by you to care unless it was with your heel. …You aren’t overwhelmed with these customs right? I can take out a few in the beginning if you want.”483Please respect copyright.PENANAm3cL9aJx2f
483Please respect copyright.PENANAOrbizGDBY2
“No no I want to. I'm gonna be so happy, not so much for waking up so early tomorrow but I'm gonna be happy nevertheless.”
483Please respect copyright.PENANAG0uapNokjC
“That’s not an actual yes or no.”483Please respect copyright.PENANAAmfm26z1yG
483Please respect copyright.PENANAw3YvlK0GgU
“No Faye, I'm not overwhelmed,” I covered my yawn and looked past her to find it dark out, “Take me to bed?”483Please respect copyright.PENANATk9AbdFxNx
483Please respect copyright.PENANAE73YbRvc2Y
Her mouth was agape and I noticed only then how that sounded, “Nuh uh get your butt off. I’m gonna search for my Hebrew butt and stay up a while longer.”
483Please respect copyright.PENANAA8YV0yjxXJ
She slapped my side after I got up and leant down to kiss her, “I didn’t even mean it like that.”483Please respect copyright.PENANAQKQEmZc5To
483Please respect copyright.PENANAGvNQY07X0S
“Sure you didn’t and wear actual pajamas in bed tonight.”483Please respect copyright.PENANAWHpOQm6Stx
483Please respect copyright.PENANAT6Af07I5Wc
I couldn’t hold in my own laugh remembering all the times she’d made me put on pajamas so that she could work only to be awoken with her head in between my legs, “Like that's stopped you before love. Goodnight Hart.”483Please respect copyright.PENANAgVxuHxY9zm
483Please respect copyright.PENANAUdRPicBrzM
“Goodnight King.”
