Tommy and Tanner, Chapter 88

Tommy and Tanner had quite a bit of free time before their wedding because they had turned most of the mowing jobs over to their younger crew. They would be working for John the mason for most of the summer when they returned from their honeymoon.

They did spend a couple of days in DeKalb, staying with Tim and Melody while they made a few improvements on their duplex. Some of their tenants had graduated and moved on and the remaining three were home visiting family, or so the boys understood.

Fortunately, they knocked on the door before using their key. It was opened almost immediately by a young man wearing only a grin.

"Hi, I'm Harrison. Come on in and get naked. The rest will be here within the hour," he greeted them.

"The rest?" Tanner questioned.

"Oh, did you think it was a threesome? I thought I made it clear that it would be a group thing. You don't have to play with anyone you don't want to and "no" means "no" so no one will try to force you."

"Uh, I don't think we've met you before. You were out when we painted. We're the owners and have come to replace the kitchen faucet with a more up to date one." Tommy informed him.

"Oh shit! I've really put my foot in it. Damn! Are you going to kick me out?"

"Yes," Tanner said, "but not until fall semester and not for having a sex party. We've recently found out that the university's housing rules won't let married people live in the dorms. So, since we're getting married this month, we won't be eligible. We're going to have to live here. We sent out letters to all of you a couple of days ago. Haven't they come yet?"

"I haven't opened yesterday's mail," Harrison frowned as he checked the pile on the kitchen table.

About half way down were three envelopes with Tommy and Tanner's return address. Harrison opened his and scanned it quickly.

"I guess it's all for the best that the three of us go our separate ways. Now I won't have to worry about my roommates catching me hosting an orgy. You won't tell them, will you?"

"It's none of our business," Tommy grinned. "We have nothing against sex! You can certainly stay now, but come fall we have some other buds who will be sharing this place with us."

In the stress Harrison had experienced over making an incorrect assumption, his cock had gone completely limp and he'd forgotten about his state of undress. Suddenly it dawned on him.

"I'm sorry; I should have put something on!"

"I don't think he has any reason to apologize for that, do you Tommy?" Tanner said, pointing at Harrison's groin.

"No he doesn't. You're a stud, Harrison!"

"Thanks, but I feel at a disadvantage since you're clothed. Could I invite you to, um, get comfortable, since you understand about sex with guys?"

"Nah, we'll stay dressed, thank you. We'll try to get the faucet done before your guests arrive."

Harrison went to his bedroom to put on a pair of sweat pants while the boys made quick work of the installation. The new fixture came with flexible hookups that screwed onto the pipes without the need for compression rings, and sealed tightly the first time. The whole operation from start to finish was accomplished in fifteen minutes.

"Do you know how long the party will run?" Tommy asked.

"It'll be pretty much over by noon. I have a friend who might want to stay longer. Is that a problem?"

"We were planning to make a list of what needed to be repaired or repainted before we and some of our buds move in, but we can wait. We might go to the gym and work out." Tommy said.

The doorbell rang just as they were finishing in the kitchen and Harrison went to let two guys in. Through the doorway, they could see that one of the guys had on dark glasses and his hoodie pulled up in an attempt to hide his identity, but his voice sounded familiar.

Assuming the guys in the kitchen to be other participants, he took off his glasses and began to strip. When Tommy and Tanner turned around and entered the living room, he turned white. It was Chas.

The boys nodded to the two, but acted as if both were strangers as they left.


For their wedding tuxedos, Tommy and Tanner opted to rent a white one and a black one. Tommy would be fitted for the white pants and the black jacket while Tanner would wear black pants with a white jacket. If one were to wear all white, someone might assume he was in the "female" role in their marriage. As it was, they were attempting to look like the equals that they were. Given that they were versatile in their sexual union, it had a special significance for them. They were both yin and yang.

Having checked the local rental stores and not finding exactly what they wanted, they got on line and ordered from a huge formal wear shop in Wisconsin which not only had tuxedos in all sizes, but also bowties and cummerbunds in rainbow colors. Swinging up to Madison on their way to Iowa on Friday would add only a couple more hours to the trip, plus they could make a stop at Mazo Beach if they started early enough.

Their only hurdle was going to be convincing Tark and Lee. Since the boys were still under 18, they had to take their father and guardian to sign for them in order to get their marriage license.

The men grinned at the boys when they made their request.

"What's going to be our excuse for leaving so early?" Tark asked. "We've always kept Mazo as our little secret among the guys. What if Mom asks?"

"We can `hike in the area' like we did last time," Tommy giggled.

Both men agreed, but suggested they say they were going early to check out the scenery. They didn't have to mention what kind of scenery! Tark would leave it at that, knowing it would satisfy Teri's curiosity if she asked. Lee would tell Peter exactly what the plan was.

So, on Friday morning, the two men and two boys left early in the morning with a picnic lunch packed to eat "in the woods" on the way. They drove in Tommy and Tanner's car which was packed with a scant amount of camping equipment and enough clothes for their honeymoon. The men would return to Middleton on the bus with the rest of the family and a host of friends.

They arrived in Madison just as the shop was opening. Having placed their order on line ahead of time, everything was ready for them to try on to make sure of the fit. The only thing that wasn't perfect was Tanner's pants, and the clerk hurried to find a pair an inch longer. While they were at it, the guys chose rainbow bowties for their attendants as well in order to coordinate with theirs. They texted the rest of the wedding party not to purchase the pink ones they had decided on the night before.

By 10:00, they were heading for Mazo, stopping for coffee and snacks at a MacDonald's along the route.


Being on a nude beach with Tark and Lee brought back memories of earlier times. Tim and Tuck weren't there, but otherwise it was similar. Because neither Tark nor Lee was interested in ogling the guys in the gay section, they laid their towel down in the middle of the beach where the split between straight and gay usually occurred. Tommy and Tanner proceeded, hand in hand, quite a few yards to the left - deep into all-male territory.

They spread out their towels and helped one another strip. Immediately, they threw major wood. This "secondary virginity" experiment was more than they could handle easily after several years of being sexually active with few constraints.

"Um, do you think we'll make it until tomorrow night?" Tommy asked, breathlessly.

"We've made it this far; I think we can hold on another 30-some hours. We didn't give in after seeing Harrison in all his glory. That scene made me want to take you home and jump your bones!"

"It was pretty inspiring! But wasn't it a shock to see Chas there? He's had two serious girlfriends, so I don't think he can be gay," Tommy speculated.

"You never know. I'll bet he at least wanted to see if he'd been missing something. I think lots of guys fool around a little when they're growing up. Maybe he missed that when he was younger."

"Maybe, but it wouldn't surprise me if Tim and he at least jerked off together."

"Yeah, but I have an idea there was a LOT more going on at the duplex than hand-jobs!"

Their sexually-charged conversation did nothing to deflate their raging hardons and they remained lying on their stomachs for some time. Then Tanner flipped open the sun lotion and rubbed it all over Tommy's body. Concentrating on Tommy's butt, he even slipped a finger in the cleft.

"If you don't stop that, it'll be all over, and I'm talking a huge load on my towel!" Tommy exclaimed.

"Okay, I'll be good. Could you put lotion on my back too?"

Tommy complied, teasing his partner in a similar fashion. Eventually they turned on their sides facing each other and kissed. The tips of their steely cocks touched and nearly ignited a major conflagration.

"You boys want some of us to stand around in a circle and screen you so you can make love?" a man offered. "It looks like you need it bad!"

"Thanks, but we're saving it for our wedding night which is tomorrow, if we survive a major case of blue balls!"

"Okay, I won't perve on you, but them's real pretty cocks and I'd have loved watching `em shoot!"

Before changing their positions in order to sun their fronts, the boys ran to the river to cool off and, hopefully, deflate their hard dicks. It worked to some extent, and when they eventually went to find Tark and Lee to eat lunch, they'd managed to shrink to about half mast.


They ate dinner in Cosgrove at the Italian restaurant they'd eaten in when Peter and Lee got married. As before, the food was authentic and excellent. The boys nearly got sauce on their marriage license because they couldn't keep from admiring it.

"It's way more than being considered partners, isn't it?" Tanner said to Lee.

"I can't speak for everyone, but it is for Peter and me. We feel totally committed, and completely one. I suppose it shouldn't matter, but having Father Jerry bless our union was like a seal from God."

"I hope it can become a national thing," Tark spoke up. "There a lots of same-sex couples who want to be in a relationship for the long haul, and allowing them to have the same rights as Teri and me doesn't diminish what we have one bit!"

"Dad, it's so cool to hear you say that!" Tommy smiled.

"Yeah, Dad, we appreciate your attitude and support. You've always been there for us." Tanner added.


After dinner, they drove to Lake Delhi to the cottage where they would be sleeping, and to get a look at the chapel for the first time. Their rehearsal was scheduled to be a brief run-through in the morning about an hour before the ceremony. By then, all the participants would have arrived.

The boys had brought their camera, of course. There was plenty of sunlight for taking pictures, but when Greta arrived to open the chapel up, she turned on lights so they could get shots of it with a warm glow emanating though the glass which made it look even more ethereal. They took a few photos, but decided to wait until twilight to get a few more.

On returning to the interior, they began their tour by studying the carved altarpiece which was absolutely stunning. For their ceremony, the boys had chosen panels with the cross for the center, a dove for the left, and a crown for the right. On the lower part of the altar, they had opted for carved floral panels flanking the central one with symbols of the Eucharist. All were executed in a kind of primitive style to complement the minimalistic look of timbers and glass.

"Uncle Lee, did you arrange for a photographer? I know you said you'd handle it, but I forgot to check," Tommy asked.

"I did, you Doubting Thomas and they should be here shortly to get a few shots of the chapel with the sun setting for your album and for Greta's website. She called them after we arrived to let them know you were here."

When Eric and Josh came into the chapel with their equipment, the boys ran to embrace them.

"I can't believe it!" Tommy exclaimed. "You said you were booked for both weekends we were considering."

"We had a commitment to do a special wedding when you called because Lee and Peter had contacted us in advance to make sure we could come, and they had asked us not to spoil their surprise." Josh grinned. "It looks like everyone kept the secret well."

"Your grandfather commissioned a pastel based on whatever photo you choose. That will take more time to produce because of other obligations, but you will have it before Christmas." Josh promised.

After they'd taken all the photos they wanted of the interior, they followed Greta to check out the reception hall, pausing to capture the look of the chapel against the glow of the western sky.

The reception hall carried on the theme of glass and timbers with the beautiful natural stone fireplace at one end. John's sense of design and great craftsmanship made it a worthy focal point.

When they had finished admiring and photographing the facility, they went on to the cottage where all would spend the night. Greta had refreshments awaiting them so they could enjoy a time of fellowship together around the table before heading for bed.

Greta had arranged for Tark and Lee to share a room with twin beds, but had put the young men as couples with their partner.

Once in their room, Tommy and Tanner undressed together and put on boxers to sleep in lest they become too horny to keep their vow. After all, it was now less than 24 hours before they would have their love fest.

The anticipation of their ceremony plus their abstinence prevented sleep from coming quickly. They spent the time reminiscing about many of the good times they'd had together.

"Sometimes I feel I was destined to become your husband," Tanner mused. "It wouldn't have happened as quickly if my father hadn't been killed, but it would have happened eventually. He might not have understood, but I would have defied him if necessary."

"We'll never know," Tommy said. "He might have come around, especially after Uncle Lee came into the picture. He's a really fine man, and I know he'd have gone to bat for us."


In their dreams, Tommy and Tanner were naked on a beach and making out oblivious to onlookers who were passing by. They rubbed their bodies together until their cum boiled over, shooting it long streams which dampened the sand around them.

As they awakened just after 7:00, they joked about the crust of sperm beginning to form in their boxers.

"This reminds me of that first night we slept in your bed. I think we both had awesome wet dreams then too." Tanner grinned.

"I remember how embarrassed you were, not knowing what I'd do or say."

"Yeah, and then you threw a pair of boxers at me and said they were the appropriate garb for breakfast. You took away my self-consciousness."

"This doesn't count as breaking our vow, does it?" Tommy frowned.

"Nah, it's nature's way of taming our cocks so we won't have obvious wood in our pants for the whole ceremony!"

"We should still wear our briefs to keep from showing too much. It's okay in the pool or on the wrestling mat, but this is church!"

"I agree. Want to make a run for the big shower and clean off the crust?"

As they headed for the group shower, they encountered Eric and Josh who had planned to do the same.

"Uh, we'll let the grooms have the first shot at it if we can pee first," Eric offered.

"No reason we can't all shower at once. There's room for us and Dad and Uncle Lee too," Tanner said.

So the four young men performed their morning ablutions together like friends often did. It turned out that Tark and Lee had showered and dressed early and were coming back from a walk as the boys emerged.

Jane Masterson called to see if everyone was ready for breakfast and soon all were seated around the table enjoying an appetizing meal.


The large bus filled with friends and family rolled into the drive after a four hour trip. They'd had an early start in order to make it by 10:00. Fortunately, many had napped on the way and were rested and ready to go.

The wedding party all got dressed before rehearsal in order to save time. Tim and Tuck looked handsome in their black pants and white shirts as best men. Andy and Devin were equally stunning in their white pants and black shirts. The rainbow ties added a festive touch that was totally appropriate for a gay wedding.

Father Jerry and his husband, Dennis, were there waiting for them at the front of the chapel when they came in. Father Jerry had a multicolored stole over his surplice which coordinated perfectly with the boys' outfits.

Tori looked cute in her white dress with sash and hair ribbons, also in rainbow colors. She would be doing double duty as flower girl and ring bearer. She was happy to please her brothers and understood that Father Jerry would give her a signal to let her know when she should start down the aisle.

Jane and Greta had outdone themselves in their choice of flowers. There were white lilies flanking the altar with shorter pots of impatiens in a wide variety of hues. This would turn out to be the gold standard for weddings performed in the chapel and would be imitated many times by people who viewed the photos on the website.

During the short rehearsal, Eric and Josh took a number of pictures which could be used for advertising as well as for the grooms' wedding album. They were able to get some intimate close-up shots which they couldn't do during the ceremony without creating a distraction.

Everything went like clockwork and they were finished well before the guests arrived to be seated.


For a period of 15 minutes before the wedding, Dennis played a medley of hymns which had love as their theme. Everyone in the chapel marveled at the wonderful sounds of the pipe organ. Most had expected there would be a little electronic instrument.

When two local congregations had joined together to build a new church, they had put up one of the organs for sale, a 1939 Aeolian Skinner. Although it had come on the market when the chapel was still in the planning stages, Jane had jumped on it because the price was right. After her grandson, Joel had had it refurbished, it was good as new.

Shortly before the rites were to begin, Tark and Lee lit the candles which represented the boys. They then took their places by their spouses and waited for the ceremony to officially to commence.

At precisely 11:31, to strains of an abbreviated arrangement of Debussy's "Clare de Lune, Tori walked confidently down the aisle strewing rose petals on her way. Next, Andy and Devin walked down side by side followed by Tim and Tuck. When they were in place by the altar, Dennis segued into Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" which the grooms had chosen for their processional hymn.

Father Jerry was overjoyed by the large number of friends and family who nearly filled the chapel. He'd officiated for a goodly number of same-sex marriages, but had never seen this level of support for the grooms.

In his opening prayer, he made mention of all the love he felt from those who were gathered.

The invocation was followed by a solo from Dennis. Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up," had deep meaning for both of the young men since each felt the other had always been supportive in whatever life had thrown their way.

After his short homily, Father Jerry asked Tommy and Tanner to take each other's hands and recite their vows to one another. Looking deeply into Tommy's eyes, Tanner began, straying slightly from what he had committed to memory.

"Thomas James Torrance, you are the light of my life and my soul-mate. I promise to love, honor, and cherish you for richer or poorer, in sickness or in health, and for worse... I know most people would say for better or worse, but I can't imagine life with you being better than it is right now."

Tears flowed down the cheeks of both grooms in the moment of silence which followed Tanner's heart-felt pronouncement. Tommy cleared his throat and found his voice. He was so overcome by Tanner's vows that he also strayed from what he'd originally planned to say.

"Tanner, I love you so much. I can't ever remember not loving you, from the time we were little kids playing with our toys in the sandbox.

John Tanner Torrance, I promise to be your faithful husband through whatever life sends our way. I will stick by you through illness or poverty if that be our lot, and celebrate our best times till death do us part and beyond if God allows. And I will do my best to make our lives even better than they are in this awesome moment."

Needless to say, there were few, if any, dry eyes in the place. It was evident to everyone that these two had become like one person.

Father Jerry wiped his eyes before blessing the rings which the best men unpinned from the heart shaped pillow in Tori's flower basket.

"Thomas James Torrance, with this ring, I thee wed." Tanner pronounced.

"John Tanner Torrance, with this ring, I thee wed." Tommy echoed.

The boys stepped up to the altar to light the unity candle, extinguishing the ones that symbolized them as individuals. Then they knelt as Dennis sang "The Lord's Prayer," and remained in place for the final blessing.

When they arose, Father Jerry introduced them to the congregation as Mr. and Mr. Torrance and invited them to kiss.

Their kiss was fairly brief and appropriately chaste, but they remained hugging for a couple of seconds longer. The whole wedding party recessed to the sounds of Jeremiah Clarke's "Trumpet Voluntary"* which sounded stunning on the organ.

The grooms then returned to the front to greet their family and friends by rows instead of having a receiving line.


The buffet reception which followed the ceremony was more elegant than the boys had anticipated. They couldn't believe that Greta and Jane had charged them so little for it. Truth be told, their grandfathers had contacted the ladies ahead of time for an upgrade and they had worked out something that was advantageous for all concerned. The ladies gave them a discount with the proviso that they could show off their finest luncheon in photos on their website. The value of the advertising would be worth more than the cost of the extra items.

Other than not having a bride at the head table, the reception looked very much like any wedding party might. There were various toasts made with sparking grape juice, since no one at the table was of age. But the non-alcoholic beverage didn't lessen the meaning of them.

The grooms cut their small cake and fed each other a piece at the end of the meal. They didn't do the crass thing of smearing it on their partner's face like they'd witnessed in a straight wedding once.

The guests were offered a variety of individual cupcakes which seemed to go over especially well with the younger members of the crowd.

Amid a cloud of bubbles blown by their friends and family, Tommy and Tanner climbed into the back seat of a large black Mercedes sedan chauffeured by Rhys Masterson to be driven to their honeymoon suite in the cottage not far away. Although anyone could have walked there easily, their friends respected their privacy as they began to drift away from the reception hall toward the bus and other vehicles.


As they lay in the afterglow of their third orgasms, Tommy lovingly ran his tongue all the way from Tanner's balls to his lips. After a bit of tongue wrestling, he ginned as he spoke.

"Your idea of abstaining for two weeks nearly turned my balls into a deep shade of indigo, but it was worth it! It was like the first time for me."

"It was for me too. Just when I didn't think anything could be better, it is! I love you, Tommy."

"I love you, Tanner."

  • "Trumpet Voluntary" was for years erroneously attributed to Henry Purcell, but is widely believed to be the work of Jeremiah Clarke.

Author's notes: As always, I'd like to thank those who have emailed me since last posting. Last time I listed Bill T as Bill W, and I apologize. This week's list: Bill T, Jim C, Rutabaga, Bob, Paul R, Bill C, Ott H, Walt S, Bobby C, JJ, Bobby C, Tom A, RC, Dan L, JTR, Jim W, Trish R, and Paul F.

I am pleased to announce that my editor, David S married his partner of 23 years, Mike, in Cambridge, MA on September 4th of this year. I wish them many happy years. Tom, my other editor, and I were privileged to be asked to edit David's vows for the special day. Both editors have been invaluable to me in the creation of this story.

As I said last time, it's a difficult decision to bring this story to closure, but it has to be. I'll probably post another story in the future. If/when I do, I will try to notify those of you who asked to be in the list.

Don't forget to check stories by several of my favorite authors. Bobby C continues to post "Jamie Lawrence," Hans S has two going currently written with other authors, "Val-n-Tyne" and "The Littlest Spermpire" (under young friends). Check under the authors' list for tales by Don Hanratty, Sequioah, and Kit. They are all worth your time.

You might be interested in the links below. I honestly think the guy was trying to understand what it's like to be gay. Many of the responses to the articles were cynical at the very least. I'm not sure he deserves that kind of reception. Perhaps he'll help someone with his book.
