Sophie’s not done anything wrong. Yet. And anyway, I love hearing Ethan laugh, and seeing him relaxed.”
“Okay, okay. I will butt out only because I don’t think Ethan would do anything stupid.”
We spend time with our family discussing the opening of the casino. The casino that brought Alex to being in Scotland in the first place. He bought a chain that had gone into liquidation. The Glasgow one is to be his flagship and it opens New Year’s Eve. I thought the London one would’ve been a better choice, but after having a look at all the figures available, it was decided to close it altogether. It was losing too much money. He has worked flat out, dealing with the contractors, hiring staff the last few weeks. It’s all finally coming together. I can’t wait to see the final look of the place. It’s been given a complete overhaul.
I’m glad his parents will be here for it, given how proud they both are of him. And Sophie, she can’t wait to see what he’s been up to here. Turns out Sophie has talked Ethan into going clubbing tomorrow night. Now this should make for an interesting night. Alex sighs heavily at this, grabbing my mother’s attention. Oh boy. My mum agrees to have Lucy tomorrow night, so Ethan can enjoy a night out and not have to worry about getting home early or getting up early in the morning. Lucy is not known for sleeping late but then again I’ve never heard of any babies who are.
“So have you two got any dates in mind?” asks my mother. Alex is lounging on the floor just in front of me.
“Just as soon as we can get things moving. I presume there will be red tape to work through? But as soon as that’s done, I will check the calendar for the hotel,” I tell her, but my question is meant for Alex. Although I’m surprised when it’s my dad who answers.
“Libby, the red tape as you put it, won't take so long. Alex and I have already done a lot of the ground work. Granted it was mainly about his living and working arrangements. A few things still to be ironed out, Alex can discuss those with you. But there really is nothing to stand in your way.”
“Well in that case, I know Alex wants this sooner rather than later, I will check when the hotel is free.”
“What about the church?” asks my mother. I knew that would be the first thing she was bound to ask. My mother is very traditional when it comes to that. She wasn’t happy that Ethan and Lindsay hadn’t had a traditional church wedding. My mum seems to have the same opinion as the church when it comes to that. A marriage has to be blessed in God’s house. Sarah looks on with interest, from the nodding, she obviously shares my mother’s question.
“Alex and I can discuss that.”
“I’ve already told you, it doesn't matter to me where, as long as we get married.” His voice is low as he speaks.
“Well we can discuss it, there’s nothing that can be done for a few days, with everything being closed.”
“Oh sweetie, I’m sure Father O’Connor would be more than happy to see you,” my mum says. I look to Alex for support, but he just smiles. Bloody hell! Am I the only one that thinks things are moving too fast? Anyone would think they all want rid of me.
“Oh, that would be lovely,” says Sarah. “A traditional ceremony. Connor and Emma aren’t getting married in the church, and it doesn’t seem right.”
I stare at Alex, this time and he gets it straight away this time. “Mum, Jane give us a few days to discuss it and as soon as we decide on anything. You two will be the first know. We both promise.”
That’s better, the idea of a church wedding does appeal to me. Especially knowing that I can have a reception at the hotel, photographs taken in the grounds with the loch as a stunning backdrop. A summer wedding, the pictures would look amazing, but I think any time of year the pictures would be great.
Drinks get topped up and the conversation in the room flows with ease, considering this is the
