Chapter two 

The Celebration 

The girls were super excited after leaving the church because it was so hard to convince the pastor to move with their plan. They visited fashion designer that they had searched for online and made preparations for their parents dresses. Since it was a short notice they had to pay double for everything to be ready in two days. They sent out secret Invitations to all the families that were coming for the birthday party and even went as far as giving them a dress code. Everything was going as planned but there was one more thing “FLOWERS” they needed flowers but didn't know where to get it . After much deliberation they decided to ask their parents in a way they won't suspect.

Evening came faster than expected Everyone was exhausted and hungry, no one said a word while they were all waiting for dinner to be served. It was becoming boring until Cynthia broke the silence “Daddy S and Daddy J” The car dealer brought the cars this morning we are so excited Thank you very much for the love, “And know that we don't take it for granted” Faith added The Both Dad's smile and said you're welcome almost immediately. Soon the Mums came out of the kitchen with trays of sumptuous meals and great aroma making the rest Smile from ear to ear . Finally the food is here said Mr Smith. Everyone bursted out with laughter, When the was dished and prayed over, Cynthia broke the silence with a question “ Dad's can we get an Aisle full of flowers and two white bouquets for the birthday party please” everyone was surprised by the question apart from Faith who knew the plan Mr Johnson smiled and answered “Anything you want darling” She smiled and said Thank you and they ate their food quietly.. Everyone retired to bed immediately after dinner because Saturday was going to be more busy.

Preparations started really early the next morning Mr Smith who is in charge of the food had to leave early because of all the meats that were coming from different countries, he had to make sure everything was good and there was no mistake from the food. Mr Johnson on the other hand went to the venue to make sure the decorators where already doing their job. He wanted this birthday to be the talk of town, most importantly the flowers the girls asked for he made sure they were all prepared. The Mums got their dresses delivered and then rapped the gifts they Got. The girls also reached out to the Fashion designer they had hired to know about the progress of the dresses and were told to expect their dresses that evening. Everyone was so busy that they didn't meet as a family for their dinner. They all ate at their own work place and came back home to rest .

It was finally Sunday morning the day of the birthday 

Everyone woke up smiling Especially the girls. Cynthia and Faith woke up almost the same time and both told themselves good morning and happy birthday. They held their hands and went out of the room together and were both surprised the house was quiet . They then decided to check outside, on opening the door, water from no where splashed on them and their parents shouted HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY BABIES, the girls were so happy and couldn't help but cry, out of excitement. The family hugged themselves and went inside the house to prepare for church service. 

After the church service Everyone came home to freshen up and prepare for the birthday party which was starting in two hours time. The mothers have the girls their dresses and the make artists and hair dressers began their magic on the girls when they were done the girls made their mums to also sit for the make up. They gave them each a bag of clothe and ask them to please wear it and then told them to make sure they come In an hour late. The girls have their fathers wonderful designers suit and told them to take them to the venue. The fathers agreed and they left without the Mums knowing.

The men where surprised to see their wives looking so stunning as they walked the aisle coming to where they were standing and Faith said to the parents “we both have watched you for several years love each other without any problems you fights and always settle your differences without letting it affect us, we love you and this is the little way we could show our gratitude, we want you to renew your marriage vows and after the party you're going to Paris for another Honeymoon” everyone was surprised and the parents couldn't help but tear .
