More important than anything we do not mention Ginny's or Whitney's names

The 3 men left a few minutes later.  Andrew decided to stay until they returned, just to make sure there was "plenty of protection"  

Whitney suspected he kind of liked the security guard who had changed out just as the guys were leaving.  She was kind of cute if you liked the blonde, blue eyed, overtanned look?  Oh well.

Whitney, her mother and Ginny went into the kitchen, leaving Andrew to flirt in private.  

"Sooooooo, Whitney, big wedding, little wedding, elopement?" Ginny asked.

Whitney's mother gasped, "WHAT?   There will absolutely be no elopement!  Don't you dare even think about it girl!"

"Of course not Ma, Ginny shame on you for teasing ma"  of course Whitney was smiling just a little bit  as she said it.  "No, I think I would like to keep it small, just our families and a few close friends.  I don't want some big whoop-to-do with a bunch of money spent on flowers and decorations and stuff that will never be used again.  But there is one thing I want, Ma, do you still have your wedding gown from when you & Da got married?"

It took Celia a few seconds to answer, and then it was through some very quiet tears, "oh of course I do Whitney girl, and you know you just asked the one question a mother always wants to say yes to!"    

They all 3 looked at each other, squealed like little teenage girls & started laughing.

Meanwhile, as the guys  drove into town, the silence was finally broken by Sammy, "Sooooo Ben, big wedding, little wedding, eloping?"

Whitney's Dad exploded "WHAT? Oh no sirreee, there'll be no eloping!  You'll be walking her down the aisle proper like or you won't be walking her down the aisle at all!"

"No sir, no eloping!  I promise you that much, as to the size of the wedding, I'll leave that up to Whit, but I'm hoping she'll go with something small, you know just our families and our close friends." 

"Well, that sounds good to me, whatever my little girl wants"  

"Yep, what ever she wants."  Ben smiled a little bit, thinking how much he loved that "little girl". 

Sammy broke up the fun, "So how are we going to go at this guy, direct approach, or bait him and see what he knows?"  

Looking at Whitney's dad Ben said "I want you to stay out of this for now, just observe, he might say something that you can counter later & the less he knows about what we know, including just your presence, the better.   Sammy you and I will just start with baiting him, see how much we can get before he catches on to anything.   More important than anything we do not mention Ginny's or Whitney's names"  

Both the other men nodded in agreement.
