Monday was busy. Besides getting caught up at school, I called the St. Louis University guy and explained about the two girls getting into graduate school. I stressed that it was sort of a deal breaker as we were a packaged deal. I assured him their grades were extremely high and were currently grad staffers. Without seeming put out at all he took their names and said he would call our university to get the paperwork completed.
Trish and I went to the courthouse and applied for the marriage license. We then went to a clinic for blood tests and were promised results by that afternoon. We both went back to class and my professor congratulated me on being accepted into medical school. After class, the Prof. handed me a paper that listed me as having completed the course with a four point zero grades. I asked how come and was told that I probably had a ton of things to do to get ready to leave, plus he said I could probably teach the course rather than being a student in it. He was confidant I had all the knowledge that could be gleaned from the course books. It was pretty impressive to be given a send off like that by a Phd. We shook hands then I went to the registrar's office to see if I needed to do anything. They had me sign a couple of papers then I walked off the campus for perhaps the last time.
Trish and Delta met me at home with the same news that I had. We were done here. We three went to the clinic to pick up our blood test results then drove to the courthouse at four to get there in time to finalize our license.
Back home we sat in the living room and were adding things to the list. The girls had an appointment that evening for their dresses. I wasn't allowed to go with them so while they were gone, I called my folks and gave them the schedules. Cecile had already called Mom. It looked like my entire family was going to Las Vegas with us. When I suggested we just get the weddings performed here or there at home, Mom said that it was exciting for us to get married in Vegas. I said I would see her there Friday evening.
Tuesday I went to get a tux. The girls had to help me, as it was really difficult to put on the shirt and the jacket. They wanted me to put on braces or what I called suspenders but my shoulder just wasn't able to be touched that much. The store provided everything, even the shoes.
Tuesday evening after supper, George and Dan came by the house and had me come with them. George drove us to the country club where we sat at a table in a corner sipping beer.
"Chuck, when you showed up with the girls we had a funny feeling about you. Somehow you seemed to fit with them," George told me.
Dan then spoke up, "you brought out their best. Their grades got even better than what they were and you settled the two of them down while they were spreading their wings. With your influence, they became young ladies, still our little girls but real ladies."
George sipped his beer then added, "Dan and I didn't think the three of you guys would last. We both thought that you would choose one over the other. We even thought the girls would become possessive and would want a singular relationship. None of that happened. It seemed that the longer you guys were together the more the three of your became a unit."
It was Dan's turn, "the both of us tried to re-live our youth through you with the pro golf thing. We were pushing you into it thinking the three of you could have a fling, running around playing golf all over the country. We were proud that our daughters were a part of your success plan."
George chuckled, "then you decided to be a hero at the bank and once again luck was on your side. You did get hurt but out of it came the opportunity of a lifetime if it is what you really want to do."
"That's why we're here," Dan said. "George and I want to make sure you really want to go to medical school. Everything happened so fast we don't know whether you were really able to make up your mind or were you just going with the flow instead of making up your own mind."
"What do you think Chuck?" George asked. "Is this what you really want?"
I looked at both of them then at my beer then back up to them. "I was having a very difficult time trying to decide what I wanted to do in life. The more I learned and studied, the more I felt I would be happiest was in some form of research. I still don't know what areas of research I want to be in, but I want to be able to help others live a better life. Medicine offers that opportunity. St. Louie U has offered an outstanding path for me to get to where I want to be. They have even made research a part of the requirements to receive the education they have so generously offered. I'm comfortable with the decision to go to school. Yep, I'm a little scared of the long-term school commitment but with the help of Trish and Delta, I know I can do it. I want this. If this works out, I should be able to provide for them and our family for the rest of our lives."
George and Dan were nodding their heads. Dan then changed the subject. "So you three are really going to get married as a group? Do you guys really think you can pull this off as a lifetime commitment?"
I smiled at them, "you two have known your daughters a heck of lot longer than I have. What do you see? For the past couple of years, I've waited for the inevitable argument between them. I've watched for the jealousy that almost had to come up between them. I've waited and watched for the split in career objectives that would send them on their separate ways. It hasn't happened. It's not that they both want the exact same thing, but they flex their actions around where they need to go to have what they want but still be together. I think fate brought us together. They both decided they wanted me to join them and we just meshed. I'm still at a loss as to how I got so lucky. I'm also lucky that you two haven't run me out of town."
Dan laughed, "you're the only guy they ever brought home. You're also the only guy their mom's ever liked right away. Cecile and Carol have had a crush on you since you showed up. Did you know Cecile and Carol have been buddies since grammar school?"
"That possibly explains how Trish and Delta became so close," I said.
"Dan and I met them at the same time," George informed me. "We were introduced to them together. All of our dating was doubling with each other. Even our weddings and honeymoons were together. It's no wonder that our kids are so tight, they have always been together. The girls are just taking it another step farther than their moms."
"Well Chuck, the reason we wanted to get together with you tonight was to tell you that we're happy you're going to be our son-in-law. You seem to be able to handle our daughters and have made them happy. We want to help you guys out while you're in school. We know your Dad is going to help but we want to make sure you guys have what you need while you're in school. You still don't even have a car. Just tell us how we can help."
I told them, "don't need a car. Both girls have a car and so far we have only needed one. If that changes in St. Louis, we'll bring a second car up there or buy one. After we get moved up there, you guys may have to help out with the house. So far we have figured on not renting it out until we have everything moved and settled down. It's too late to rent it out for the fall semester so we may end up renting it to non-university people. Anyway, I think we have pretty much everything we need. We may need some money help initially up there but we have a good chunk saved up between us."
"Let us know okay?" George said.
"Don't wait till you're in trouble," Dan added.
George then finished his beer and looked at me, "what about rings?"
"Got 'em. I think we're ready for the circus to begin," I laughed.
Dan chimed in with, "yep a three ring circus all right." And we all laughed.
When I got home there was a bunch of suitcases lined up in the living room near the door. The two girls came out of the bedroom in baby doll pajamas.
"We're ready," Delta announced. "Our clothes are all packed. Yours too. We'll put our toiletries in a makeup case in the morning and we are finished."
While they were telling me this, they were leading me to the bedroom, unbuttoning my shirt. They helped me out of my clothes then pushed me onto the bed.
Trish said huskily, "tonight is our turn to make you ours. This is almost the last night we'll have as a single couple. Or would that be group."
We kissed and kissed. It was frustrating I couldn't hold them with my left arm. I had to lie on my back and could only touch one of them at a time. They didn't seem to mind as they smothered me with loving touches. Our lovemaking continued till the wee hours of the morning.
In the morning they helped me bath and dress. We straightened up the house and were ready to leave by nine.
A large van came to pick us up. It was big enough for George, Cecile, Dan and Carol plus our luggage and us. Since St. Louis was the nearest large airport that's where we headed. A couple of hours later, we were at Lambert Airport getting ready to board a huge DC-4 airliner. We were all seated in the front of the airplane in a separate first class area. As soon as we were seated, stewardesses were asking us what we wanted to drink. The girls had Bloody Marys while I had a Coke. I was too nervous for booze. This flight was a first for me. I wondered how all my family was going to enjoy flying. Hope they were not as nervous as I was.
The flight was uneventful. The food was excellent and we ended up drinking champagne, toasting all of us for the upcoming event. The hostesses were very attentive and kept our glasses full till we had to say stop.
When we checked into the Desert Inn I thought the bellhops were mobbing us. Apparently the three dads had made an impression on the hotel staff. We were being treated like celebrities. We went all the way to top floor where we were shown to a huge suite. There was a living room on an outside wall that was all glass looking out over all of Las Vegas. Even with the long flight it was still sunny outside since we were now two hours earlier than the mid-west.
The girls had just finished unpacking and hanging up our clothes when my folks came. Not only my folks, but also all of my sisters, my oldest sister's husband and their baby, and both of my brothers were there. I guess this was a big deal. Mom and my sisters fondled over me with my wrapped up shoulder and arm. All my hugs were reserved and gentle. It was amazing how excited they all were.
Funny how you don't recognize how important something like this is to others. Trish, Delta and I had been together for a good while and we knew we were committed to continue to be together. Getting married was a ceremony for others to witness, not necessarily for us. We were already totally committed to each other. This was just going to be a proclamation of that commitment.
We all went to the dining room for supper. My brother Danny kept calling it "his brother's Last Supper." Carl wanted to know if I was going to have a bachelor party. I assured them that there would not be any wild parties. My life was one continuous party. George, Dan and Dad said I was no fun and they wanted to have one final party with me.
I was leery of their intentions and looked at the girls with questioning raised eyebrows. Trish just said, "oh go ahead and go out with them. Besides tonight we have to sleep separately. You know, wedding tradition."
Just as the six of us were leaving, we were met by three of my uncles and four of my cousins. Knowing how wild they all were, I had reservations about the evening.
The third bar we went into was some kind of nightclub with skimpily dressed waitresses. My crowd was being the country bumpkins they really were goggle eyeing the girls. I was trying to drink slowly, as I knew my alcohol resistance was not very good. So far, everyone else was getting fired up enough to not notice,
Fanfare music started then on a low stage a lady in a slinky red halter dress came out and sang a real torch song. Then toward the end of the song she started undoing her clothes. Oh my, I was going to see a real live strip show. She pulled one of the ends tied behind her neck then raised her hands in the air. The dress slowly slid down her body, first disclosing her large breasts then her flat stomach and then a garter belt, panties and stockings. She strutted and whirled around the dance floor then sexily walked to our table. She stopped right in front of me where I had my chair turned away from the table to watch the slow.
"So is this the guy who's getting married tomorrow?" She asked with a sexy voice.
The others at the table all replied loudly that I was that guy.
She put her hands on my shoulders. When I winced from the pressure on my left shoulder she apologized, "I'm sorry Hun, I didn't mean to hurt you."
I smiled at her showing her I was fine now. She waved her big breasts in my face then sat on my lap.
"I think I know who you are. Did you play basketball in college a couple of years ago?" She asked while playing with my shirt buttons.
It was kind of difficult to speak with some strange giant breasts in my face. "I played for the last three years," I said, drooling a little.
"I was a cheerleader at a game you couldn't miss the basket. I think you hit every shot you took including every free throw," She said looking at me.
"That must have been the Kansas State game at the March tournament," I said. "I had a pretty good game."
"Shoot, I guess so. Every one of us cheerleaders wanted to jump your bones. That was the game all right. You were so good you were sexy to us. Well I've got you now." As she said this she turned and put my face between her two giant mummeries and pressed them into my ears.
The entire audience who hooting and hollering. I was red faced because of the attention. My brothers who were sitting on each side of me were absolutely drooling at the dancer's actions.
She had been wiggling around on my lap till my normal reaction was pressing up into her panties. "Ooh is that for me?" She asked sexily. "How about we meet when I get off work and we'll both get off."
My brothers were basket cases over the girl. She gave me a big smooch then pressed herself against me. I whispered in her ear, "you want to do something for me? Play with my two brothers next to me. If you tease them like this they'll probably wet their pants. Then they will follow you anywhere."
"Gotcha honey, I'll take care of it," she said as she smooched me again, waving her breasts in my face battering my nose and lips with her big nipples.
She stepped away from the table reached down into her panties then slowly pulled out a long red scarf. Once the scarf was out of her panties, she wrapped it around her waist like a short towel. She sauntered up to Carl and stood spread legged in front of him. Grinning at him she took his hands then put them under the scarf and brought them down her legs dragging her panties down until they would not go any lower. She was now bent over with her giant bosom right in his face. He was swooning. She stood up, put her hands on her hips and shook her big boobs back and forth, never losing eye contact with Carl.
The dancer moved her legs together and let the stretched panties fall to her high-heeled feet. She stepped over to Danny and stood in front of him. You couldn't see anything but you just knew her pussy was naked underneath the scarf. She started a strippers bump and grind, moving right up to Danny's face. Then straddling him she sat on his lap pushing her breasts into his chest. She wiggled around a couple of seconds till Danny was gasping then stood up and sexily walked back to the stage. She danced around a little more then stood spread legged with her hands on her hips. With a jerk, she pulled the scarf away from her hips showing the audience that she was still covered with very tiny G-string panties. She turned; looking over her shoulder as the audience all drooled over her rounded cheeks then strutted through the curtain. The applause was loud and long. As it started to die down a hand came back out of the curtain holding what looked like the G-string she had been wearing. Once again the applause was loud and long.
Everyone at our table thought it had been a great show. Dad said he was impressed that she remembered me. George and Dan said they wished they could tell the girls how popular I was but promised to not say a word. My brothers were still mesmerized by the teasing the dancer had done. I guess that's why they call it a strip tease.
As we left the club, the dancer, dressed in regular street clothes came up to me. "I was serious. Do you want a final fling before getting married? I'd love to be that fling."
I smiled at her, "Naw, I think I better save up. My new wife will want everything I have. Thanks anyway."
"Good luck honey. You're a good guy to turn me down. Bye," she said with a sad smile.
We all went back to the hotel where Sissy was waiting for me, holding my pajamas in her hand. She said I should come to their suite, as there was room for me there. We walked across the hall and I went with her to a big bedroom with a king size bed. Sally and Christine were already in bed. Sissy told me to hurry into the bathroom, put on my PJs and come to bed.
We all snuggled up together, just like when they were little girls. Good thing they were my sisters as they sure didn't feel like little girls any more.
The next morning we had a great breakfast then I was banished from our suite again with my clothes. This time I went to Mom and Dad's room to shower and get ready. We were going to use the hotel's wedding chapel for the event. Mom told me that Cecile and Carol had made arrangements for the two ceremonies. Everything was planned.
George and Dan came to the room and then with Mom and Dad we took the elevator down to the main floor. We went back to the large wedding chapel and into a little room next to it. There a man introduced himself as Reverend Marten, the Presbyterian Minister who was doing the ceremony. He told me how the ceremony would happen and what I needed to do then left to instruct the others.
An usher told me to come out and I went to the altar flanked by my two brothers. Mom and Dad were sitting in the front row with one of my Aunts and Uncles. The place was pretty well filled up with my family and some of those that I knew were Trish and Delta's families.
The wedding march started and first my sisters came walking down the aisle carrying flowers. They were wearing white lacey dresses with matching veils. I thought veils were only for the bride. Next came Delta on Dan's arm, then Trish walking with a smiling George. The girls were dressed in the same lacey fitted white dresses not the usual bulky wedding dress. They each had a veil and were carrying white bouquets with a single red rose in the middle. Trish and I stood before the minister while he conducted the ceremony. We did the I do's, put the rings on then kissed. The group applauded. We walked back down the aisle then waited outside the door till everyone had come out of the chapel. Carol announced that the wedding party needed to come back into the chapel for photographs. She told the others to go to the banquet room and have refreshments till we got there.
The minister was still standing at the altar when we returned. My whole family along with Trish and Delta's folks were there to witness this special ceremony. Delta and I went in front of the minister where he conducted the same ceremony for us as he had for Trish and I. Then he had Delta, Trish and I hold our left hands together and he had some special words for us praying that we would have a long and loving life together. We three kissed each other then hugged tightly. I had to squeeze my eyes to keep the tears from running. I was very emotional. All of the ladies were weeping with happiness for us. The minister congratulated us then instructed us how to pose for a photographer that had come into the room.
The reception, dinner and party were a blast. We danced for hours. Finally at seven o'clock Trish, Delta and I were ushered up to our room where our bags had already been packed. We were told to change into the clothes that were laid out. We changed then were ushered back down to the banquet room then out some doors in the back of it. A limousine was waiting for us. The entire group from the wedding and reception was waiting for us also. They threw rice at us as we entered the car. My dad handed me a fat envelope, followed by Dan then George doing the same. They all told us to have a good time and they would all see us when we got back. Dad then gave me an envelope with what he said were our tickets.
As car pulled away from the hotel, Trish, Delta and I looked at each other and we all asked at the same time. "What's going on?"
I opened the envelope with the tickets and found three airline tickets to San Francisco and a ticket for three people on a cruise to Alaska. We were stunned. We looked into the envelopes our Dad's had given us. The envelope my Dad had given me had a bankbook in it. The balance said ten thousand dollars. Along with it was five hundred dollars in cash. I felt pretty guilty. Just a couple of years ago, Mom and Dad were having to count change and now they just gave me more than what they used to make in a year. I sure hope they didn't short themselves. Mom and Dad seemed like they were fine though.
Trish opened hers to find a bankbook with another ten thousand in it plus she had a thousand cash. Delta found the exact same thing in hers. She said she knew that they had at least a thousand from all the wedding dances that we had done. That meant at that second, we had thirty-two thousand five hundred dollars plus our substantial savings back home. This was a fortune. I still had a couple hundred dollars in my wallet and I knew each of the girls had that much. We were excited to fly again and to be going on a cruise.
The flight and the cruise were first class. We spent a lot of time enjoying each other and having fun on the cruise ship. We enjoyed seeing the beautiful coast line when we would be close to it and were fascinated by the glacier with the large chunks of ice falling into the sea. We all agreed that when we had the opportunity we wanted to come up to Alaska on land and see it up close.
Ten days later we were moving to St. Louis. Trish and Delta had been accepted into the graduate program at the University and awarded graduate staff positions. I was introduced to my professors and given my schedule. We went to the bookstore where we collectively spent almost five hundred dollars for books. That was as much as I spent for all of my undergraduate books.
We were settled into a very nice two-bedroom apartment now furnished with our queen-sized bed and decorated by Cecile and Carol. We were going to need the extra bedroom as the two moms were going to be visiting often. We were lucky because we were within very short walking distance to the university buildings and the hospital.
We had taken advantage of the opportunity of our lives and our new life was beginning.
More opportunities would come.
