| Well, if you�d really like to have the wedding on Valentine�s day that�s alright with me.�
�Really? You don�t mind?� �Why would I mind making you my wife on the most romantic day of the year? It would just give me another reason to love it.� Throughout lunch all three women were talking excitingly about the wedding while Sully just sat back and listened. In less than an hour the wedding had turned out being a big fancy thing instead of something small. He knew it was all the excitement that got them carried away, and he hoped that in due time things would settle down. Chapter 20 A couple of weeks had passed and Michaela was at home when her doorbell rang. She was hoping to see Sully, but instead she was her parents. �Mother! Father!� Michaela gave each of them a hug and welcomed them into her house. �How was your hike up the mountain?� Michaela headed to the kitchen and put the kettle on the stove so they could have some tea. �It was interesting.� Josef answered giving his wife a look. �Interesting?� Michaela didn�t know what her father was referring to. �Yes well� Your mother found out that there were wild animals living in the mountains. Michaela couldn�t help but let out a soft giggle. Her mother was not one who liked the outdoors. She was more of a stay at home and organize social gatherings type of person. Michaela�s mother (Elizabeth) wanted to change the subject and when she saw a sparkle on her daughter�s hand she knew she had the perfect opportunity. �Michaela? Is there something you would like to tell us?� �What?� Michaela looked at her mother and saw she was looking at her hand. �Oh that. Well, I�m engaged.� �You�re what?!� Josef and Elizabeth were taken back. �I�m engaged.� Michaela beamed as she repeated her answer. �When? How? Who?� Elizabeth couldn�t believe what she had just heard. They were gone for a couple of months and the last thing she expected to hear when she got back was that her daughter was engaged. Josef on the other hand couldn�t be happier. It was about time Michaela had found someone that could make her happy. �Congratulations Michaela. When will we meet the lucky young man?� �Actually he is supposed to be coming by later. So you�ll meet him tonight.� �Wonderful!� Josef hugged his daughter. He knew that if the young man was good enough for Michaela he was good enough for him. After all Michaela was rather picky when it came to men. They had to meet up to her standards in order to even have a chance. �How long have you known him Michaela?� Her mother�s tone was cold and bitter. �Only a couple of months mother.� �And do you honestly think that�s enough time to know he�s the one?� �Honestly mother. You have been on my case about me finding a husband. I would have thought you�d be happy for me.� Michaela was starting to get upset. It seemed every time she was near her mother they ended up having an argument. �Besides I know I love him and that�s all that matters.� Tears were beginning to fill her eyes. Josef put an arm around Michaela�s shoulder and gave it a light squeeze. He turned to his wife and gave her a stern look. �Elizabeth how can you sit there and judge someone you have not met yet?� Elizabeth had opened her mouth to protest when the doorbell rang. |
