Picture Perfect Wedding...What?!? by Laura S - May Fanfic Club Discussion **Spoilers**

Discuss Picture Perfect Wedding...What?!? by Laura S here.

That first part where he's introducing the album to Lois is just spot on for BOTH of them. The exuberant showcasing of it, the droll response, all of it! The way they both came to the same realization that they had both met well before the Daily Planet was hilarious! Clark's bouncing off the wall like a pair of hot coals and Lois's slow, realization. Once again, very like them.

Why oh why didn't Jeremy and I elope?

I loved hearing the bride's POV. It's not something I'd expect from this. Martha's (especially as she was the one to recall the event and contact Clark) sure, possibly even Jonathan's (although it'd be unlikely he'd remember such an event), and definitely Lois or Clark's. With that said, hearing the bride's POV is hilarious. The two "top-tier" women (the bride and Lois) would naturally butt heads on such a stressful day.

Quote

"I don't remember! Lois!" Clark hissed and pulled at her arm.

"What do I do?"

"You do the same thing as the guys do and I do the same thing as
the girls do! I don't know...watch someone and copy."

Oh THIS isn't going to end well.

Quote

The man with the nice hair had shifted inward a little and Clark
mimicked him. He had noticed that every single person up at the
altar had a girl they were matched with. How convenient.
Everyone got a friend. Clark sized up the crowd and determined
that his friend was Lois. A big smile filtered across his face
and he nearly forgot to keep a diligent watch on his subject.

"You may kiss the bride."

The man with the nice hair leaned toward Julie.

The move was so sudden, Clark started a little and hastened to
catch up. Someone should have warned him this job required so
much careful watching. As Julie and the man's lips met, Clark
turned to his friend and did exactly as she had told him too.

This is just THE most adorable story I've ever read! Leave aside the improbability of them being at the same wedding, let alone in the wedding party and then marrying each other never realizing that they were each other's first crush.

What a cute and adorable story!

I love that Lois and Clark met at a wedding when they were children. So funny that none of the major players (Ellen or Martha) recalled that they had met some 20 years previously. Of course Lois would think that the day centered around herself. Funny that the ring bearer was never asked to carry the rings, though. (He put his hands behind him, or "duck tail" as the local kindergarteners call it, which would be difficult to do if carrying a pillow with rings on it.)

Is it just me or was the groom acting a tad bit like how Clark acts as Superman? LOL. I expected the kiss, when Clark started mimicking the groom, but Lois's punch was totally unexpected.

Well, we know that everything turned out okay in the end. No wonder Martha had Clark *fly* out for the photo album. Cute read, not at all what I was expecting. I thought by the premise it had something to do with the Clois wedding. Boy, was I OFF base.

An old favorite of mine. I love Lois's comment about wondering what would prompt Martha to demand Superman Express delivery.

Then...

Quote

"I had completely forgotten..."

"It was you!"

"I remember that day so well..."

"It was YOU!"

"Oh my God."

Then the flashback story. Wonderfully put together, flowed just perfectly and I loved the ending.

The tears of laughter had finally subsided somewhat and Lois
clutched Clark's shoulder in support.

"Oh Clark, that was so suave of you."

He choked on some more laughter. "Well, I wouldn't have done it
if you hadn't told me to copy the groom!"

"I just said a guy. I didn't mean HIM!"

They faced each other on the couch and Clark set the photo album
aside.

"D'you know I idolized you for nearly two months after that?" he
said, grinning softly.

Lois raised an eyebrow. "Only two months?"

"Hey, hey, two months in six-year-old boy time is like a
marriage commitment."

Lois smiled and gave him a quick kiss on his nose.

"You were my first kiss then. And I couldn't even appreciate it
because I was so shocked and upset."

"I think I missed your mouth."

"Nah, you got close enough. Enough for me to want to send you
flying."

Clark pulled his wife on his lap, sighing in contentment. "I
still can't believe it was you," he said softly, resting his
forehead against hers.

"How many girls can say they married their first crush?"

"Probably not ma--Crush?" A hopeful glimmer caught his eye.
"Hey, you liked me too?"

Lois rolled her eyes, an act reminiscent of six-year-old Lois.
"Well, I was only seven. But I liked you well enough to let you
trail after me. Plus I thought you were cute. In the strictest
since of the way. Like a puppy."

"Thanks, Lois. That's what every man wants his wife to compare
him too. I thought you were a princess and you thought I was a
puppy."

They laughed and Lois leaned down, her lips a hairs breadth from
his own.

"You know, Farmboy..." she breathed. "Things haven't changed
much since then."

And then she kissed him to silence the indignant response she
knew was coming.

was just perfect. I love the fact that Lois was trying be older by claiming to be seven, probably would have said 'Well I was almost seven'.

Of course I just LOVE Waffy Vignettes especially those who get L&C together early even if they don't remember it.

I was looking for an excuse to read this story again and thought that May would be a good time to read a story about a wedding.

I love little Lois and Clark and their interactions at the wedding. The kiss and Lois' reaction to it is great.

Quote

In the audience, tears of laughter rolled down Martha Kent's
cheeks as she buried her head in her husband's shaking shoulder.
Life with her little boy had definitely never been dull.

Oh yes Martha and Jonathan, the best was yet to come! Imagine Clark and Lois meeting so many years before.

Thanks for suggesting this little gem, I read it years ago, and thought it was sweet than. Great fic.

This was a very cute story! I loved the way that child Lois was portrayed here. I can definitely see Lois being that way as a child. I also loved that Lois and Clark were each other's first kisses. Very sweet. And who couldn't love Lois' reaction to that kiss?

Did anyone else notice that this story just happened in real life?
