Florence laughed.“Believe me, the cougar community will want to be involved.”
Frank got a call on his phone.“It’s Lacy.Yeah, are you okay?”
Lacy and Rorywere sipping cocoa while they discussed their marriage after the first of the year.“Now, this is totally up to you, but what do you think about us having a double marriage ceremony with Mrs.Fitz and Granddad?”Lacy asked.
“I like the idea.The same people would be coming to both, and since we all mated at the same time, I think it would be nice to have it together.”
“I was afraid since they’ve already each been married once, they might not want to have a fancy wedding, but they deserve it,” Lacy said.
“Yeah, I agree.”
“Okay, well, I’ll call Granddad and tell him what we want to do.”She got on her phone and put it on speaker when her grandfather answered her.
“What’s going on?”her grandfather asked, sounding concerned.
“We’re at the bunkhouse having cocoa.The guys all went to bed so we could have some alone time in the living room.We have a proposal we wanted to make about our wedding.I have this on speakerphone.”
“I’ll put my phone on it also.What do you have in mind?”
“We would like to have a double wedding with you all.Everyone would be coming to both, so it would be easier to have everyone go to one, don’t you think?”Lacy asked.
Frank laughed.“We were just talking about that.We wanted to see if that would work for you.”
“Well, that works for us.”
“Us too,” Mrs.Fitz said.“What is the home situation for the two of you?”
“Hal said he would give us land to build a house on.We need to decide on architectural plans, so that’s our next step.”
“Oh, that’s wonderful.So when do you want to get married?”Mrs.Fitz asked.
“We need to see if we can schedule the community center, have a minister lined up, and decide on wedding clothes,” Lacy said.“But we were thinking the end of May.”
“All right.Have you planned a honeymoon yet?”
Lacy looked at Rory.
“Belize?They have cougars there so we could blend in while we take runs in the wilderness,” Rory said.
“Belize it is,” Lacy told her grandfather and Mrs.Fitz.“What about you two?”
“What about Oregon?”Mrs.Fitz asked.
“Sounds good to me,” Frank said.“We can go to the Oregon Coast and stay at a cabin.”
“Red wolves came through here last year and stopped in the coffee shop,” Mrs.Fitz said.“They said they have cabins they rent on the coast.”
“Shifters, great,” Frank said.“We’ll book one of them then.”
“We’re going to the Christmas Bazaar tomorrow.Will you be there?”Rory asked.
“Yeah, we’re going,” Mrs.Fitz said.
“Why don’t we have lunch together?They’ll have food booths available, and we can pick what we want,” Rory said.
“Absolutely, that would be fun,” Mrs.Fitz said.
“Okay, well, we’ll get together tomorrow.Rory has to work early, then he can be off afterward to go to the bazaar.The guys are all giving him a hard time.”Lacy loved him for wanting to take her.“Hal is taking his wife and the kids.Ted is taking Stella and his.That way we will have enough protection.”
