The Ceremony of Carly Nicole Simon and Barack Alon Manilow

It was five pm and the wedding was about to begin. First Barry went into a room where he signed the marriage contract called the ketubah. He then went out to walk down the aisle with his cousins Dennis and Olivia. He turned around so he could see Carly walk in with her parents. That's when his dear friend Melissa Manchester began singing "Looking Through The Eyes Of Love" from the movie Ice Castles. Carly looked like an angel when she walked down the aisle with her parents. Carly saw Barry reach into his jacket pocket for a hanky. When they got to the chuppah Carly's dad gave Barry Carly's hand. Carly looked over at Barry she saw tears streaming down his check. She took her thumb and ran it across his check to wipe a tear away. Carly then walked around Barry seven times like she was supposed to do. Seven of their friends got up to recited one of the seven blessings.  Then Rabbi Ginsburg poured the wine into a glass. He handed the glass to Barry who took a drink. Barry then gave the glass to Carly to took a drink. She then handed the glass back to the rabbi. Rabbi Ginsburg asked Barry to recite his vows as he placed the ring on her right index finger. Then he asked Carly to recite her vows and place the ring on Barry's left ring finger. Rabbi Ginsburg placed the glass inside a hanky and placed it on the floor. Barry put his foot down on the hanky and everyone yelled Mazel tov then Barry gave Carly a kiss on her lips. They turned towards everyone and Rabbi Ginsburg said may I present Mr. and Mrs. Barry Manilow. Barry took Carly's hand and they walked down the aisle. Now once they were out of sight Barry said to Carly we did it.  The two of them went out doors to take a few more photos. After taking a few more photos outside Barry and Carly went back inside. Barry's cousin Dennis took to the mic and said may I present Mr. and Mrs. Barry Manilow. Barry and Carly came in and went out on the dace floor. Melissa Manchester went to stand in front of the band to sing I Just Want To Be The One In Your Life while Barry and Carly danced. Then Carly danced with her dad while Barry danced with her mom. After that Carly danced with Dennis and Barry danced with Olivia. Then they went to their table to sit down. Dinner started with Tuscan garden salad or Polenta with  truffle oil with pine nuts and dinner rolls. Main entries were salmon, baby rack of lamb or roasted vegetable kabobs with a bouquet of fresh seasonal vegetables and golden fried potato croquette. Desert was a chocolate desert piano Later on there would be the cutting of the raspberry torte wedding cake. There was also a candy station from Dylan Candy Bar  so guest could make themselves a bag of assorted candy to take home. After dinner the dancing began. Carly and Barry went outside to be alone for a few minutes. You know we're not done with Scott Nevins said Carly.  Yes I know said Barry. His next move most likely will be to get us to divorce. I wonder who Scott called when given his one phone called asked Barry. I'm thinking he called Suzie Q and told her everything said Carly. But of course Suzie Q. will be very pissed that she wasn't invited to our wedding. Well we better get back inside to be with our guests said Barry.  They went back inside. Marc came over and asked if they were ok. To which Barry replied yes they were. Carly dad came over and let them know that Scott would be spending the night in jail. I told the police that you two were leaving tomorrow morning on Amtrak's Adirondack around eight fifteen am for Montreal. I asked the main detective if they would not release him until after ten am. Detective Murphy said sure no problem. By then you two should be somewhere between Kingston  and Hudson New York said her dad. Barry and Carly cut their raspberry torte wedding  cake and took a piece. They fed each one another a piece of the cake. Carly's mom said not to worry she'd make sure the top cake got to Barry's house tomorrow. Norah said she'd make sure it was put into Barry's freezer down stairs She also said she'd get an extra slice for them to eat when they got back from their honeymoon. Soon it was time for the bouquet toss and the garter flinging. Carly tossed her bouquet and her third cousin Sophie  second cousin Jonathan's daughter caught it. Then Barry went up under Carly's wedding gown skirt and found her garter. All the non married guys got ready. Gaby's son Stephen caught the garter. Barry and Carly said their goodbyes to everyone. Carly's parents and her sister followed them. They each went into separate room to change clothes. Carly's mom and sister helped her out of her gown. They put the gown into a zippered bag along with her headpiece and veil. Then they hung a draw string bag with her shoes over the hanger. Carly's dad helped Barry put his tuxedo into the zippered bag with his shirt, vest and tie. Then he put a draw string bag with his shoes over the hanger. Barry thanked John for all his help. John gave  Barry a big hug and told him I know you'll take good care of my Carly. Carly gave her sister a hug then her mom. Carly and Barry came out with their back packs. Carly also had her Ameribag cross body handbag Carly gave her dad a hug. While Barry gave her sister and mom hugs. Well Mrs. Manilow are you ready to go said Barry. Yes said Carly. They went outside and caught a cab to their hotel near Madison Square Garden. Barry and Carly were staying at the TRYP hotel by Wyndhan. The cab got them to their hotel. Barry had already signed them in and taken their suite cases to their room. So when they got to the hotel they just went straight to their room. Just then Barry's cell phone rang. Barry said hello. Hi Barry it's Marc I hate to bother you two. But I found out from Greg Martin that Scott Nevins did indeed make his one phone call to Suzie Q. Greg said Scott told Suzie Q. everything. Suzie Q. then called him and told him everything. Greg just listened to her since he already knew all about your wedding to Carly. I asked him how he was doing. He said he was doing much better. He felt sorry he missed your wedding said Marc. Well I'll let you go. Give Carly my love and have a safe trip. Ok we will said Barry. Who was that said Carly as she came out of the bathroom. Carly had on a matching pair of shorts and a tank top.  Barry had already changed into pajama shorts and a tee shirt. Oh that was Marc. He called to tell me Scott Nevins called Suzie Q. and told her everything. Greg Martin who couldn't come to our wedding because his gall bladder surgery called him and told Marc that Suzie Q. called him. What do you say we get some sleep. Oh really said Carly as she came over to Barry. I think it's time we made this official  Mr. Manilow. Carly caught Barry off guard with a searing kiss to his lips. I have wanted to kiss every inch of your gorgeous face she said. With that she did and they made it official.
