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.”204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqPsFvEZP8

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.”204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9snrfgRRgZ

“When we do the certificate we could write it like that. Hart-King or King-Hart?”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIj6v70LOc
“Mmm i don’t know that's a bit of a difficult question right now.”204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9PDjvNH4S
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDkYrw3pAH
We went back into a comfortable silence until she spoke again, “You know you could’ve gone out and partied like Cherry wanted to.”204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFKeOiCt4r
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPw0wEE8hS
“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?”204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp1cLXtMPs

“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.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze2LeiXhaa
“But- why?”204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gmMTH0yAw
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWInNFOuwCU
“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.”204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcEfPyjSKQ
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNWtgMeFi3
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.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgoFf5Oj23
“You forgot?”204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEX6s1z4hi

“We’ve kinda had it easy other than like in the beginning of finding where to do it.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5V9MmSKJk
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.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaC4TqJy9r
“Then what.”

“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.”204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArSl1uP9bu
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBah3XLEvGM
“What is the Ketubah?,” I groaned when it came out, sounding nothing like how she said it. 204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBukwOhGCsq
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4vxs9kr94
“Ketubah?,” She mocked purposely and expertly copying exactly how I muttered it.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbveoh3FMB

“You know what I mean.”204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSUtTFlpZ8
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldVUWR72Ls
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.”204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsTxzuo3NQ
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNORt22JqZ
I leaned up grinning then kissed up her neck to her cheek, “In what kind of intimate way?”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7d6exgAfV
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.”204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtHDEAHDXe

“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.”

“No Faye, I'm not overwhelmed,” I covered my yawn and looked past her to find it dark out, “Take me to bed?”204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ9yScot2t
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA3dWvOqwH
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.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMjl5vpfZK
She slapped my side after I got up and leant down to kiss her, “I didn’t even mean it like that.”204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCmnbrX7gv

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.”204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pShvDCpet
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J1Ket42BJ
