Author’s note: Thanks to Susan K who gave me the
idea for the bubbles and the ‘Honeymoon Kit’ – to which of course, I added my
own twist.
“When You Tell Me That You Love Me” is by Diana
Ross, “When I Fall In Love” is by Nat King Cole and “All My Life” is by Aaron
Neville and Linda Ronstadt.
I know
what’s beautiful looking at you.
In a
world of lies - you are the truth.
I want
to make you see just what I was.
Show you
the loneliness and what it does.
You
walked into my life to stop my tears.
Everything’s
easy now I have you here.
Everything
you ask for - nothing is above me.
I’m
shining like a candle in the dark when you tell me that you love me.
The garden of Marie and Logan’s house looked like something out of a
fairy tale come to life, with round linen-covered tables with large lace-edged
umbrellas over them and flowers and ribbons wrapped around the backs of the
chairs - all under a spacious white tent.
The white gazebo at the end of the garden was decorated with hundreds of
pale pink roses and lily of the valley.
A white runner had been laid from the back patio doors all the way to
the gazebo where Logan, looking handsome in a dark charcoal grey Hugo Boss
suit, waited nervously for his bride.
Just then there was a soft meow and Logan looked down to find Rogue
wrapped around his ankles, so he bent down to give the kitten a quick rub
behind the ears. Even the kitten was in the wedding spirit with a pink silk
ribbon tied around her neck in place of her usual collar.
Scott, looking rather dashing himself in a dark navy
Armani suit, waited at the top of the patio steps, ready to escort his sister
down the aisle. He signalled for the music to start.
The soft melodic tones of “Watermark” by Enya began
playing and Jubilee and Kitty came out of the house first and began the slow
walk down the white runner – each looking radiant in whisper soft pink
sleeveless, floor-length silk Versace gowns and carrying bouquets of delicate
pink and white baby roses. Once the
girls had taken their places by the gazebo the strains of “Here Comes the
Bride” started and Marie appeared at the opening of the patio doors to be
greeted by Scott. She was a breathtaking vision, in a white crystal beaded
Badgley Mischka gown with a low-cut neckline that showed just a hint of creamy
cleavage and dipped low in the back, the floor length gown was fitted enough to
showcase her still slim figure. Instead of a traditional veil, she wore her
silky chestnut hair piled on top of her head with crystal beads woven
throughout that were twinkling in the bright sunlight. Carrying a bouquet of
cascading white tea roses, Marie looped one arm through Scott’s and they
stepped off the patio onto the white runner.
Logan felt himself catching his breath as he watched her slowly ebb her
way toward him, her smiling face a radiant beam of light.
{God, he looks so good in that suit. I can’t believe we’re really getting
married.}
{Damn, she’s beautiful. How the hell did I get so lucky to have her in my life?}
{Tinkerbell, looks so happy. I’ll hunt him down and kill him if that ever changes.}
{I can’t believe my darling Scott is actually doing
this willingly – will miracles never cease?}
When they reached the end of the aisle, Scott shook
hands with Logan, kissed his sister on the cheek and then placed her hand in
Logan’s and together the couple stepped into the gazebo. Scott followed, acting also as the best man.
From her seat in the front row, Ororo, in a pale lilac Dolce & Gabbana
dress gave her husband an approving smile – which he returned with a playful
wink.
“Dearly beloved, we are here today to celebrate the
joining in marriage of Logan Alexander Roberts and Marie Elizabeth Summers.”
“Marie – your pledge to Logan.”
“I, Marie, take you, Logan, to be my husband, secure
in the knowledge that you will be my constant friend, my faithful partner in
life, and my one true love. On this
special day, I give to you in the presence of God and our friends and family my
pledge to stay by your side as your wife in sickness and health, in joy and
sorrow, as well as through the good times and the bad. I promise to love you
without reservation, comfort you in times of distress, encourage you to achieve
all of your goals, laugh with you and cry with you, grow with you in mind and
spirit, always be open and honest with you, and cherish you all the days of our
lives.”
“Logan – your pledge to Marie.”
I, Logan, take you, Marie, to be my wife, knowing in
my heart that you will be my constant friend, my faithful partner in life, and
my one true love. On this special day,
I give to you in the presence of God and our friends and family my pledge to
stay by your side as your husband in sickness and health, in joy and sorrow, as
well as through the good times and the bad.
I promise to love you without reservation, honor and respect you,
provide for your needs as best I can, protect you from harm, comfort you in
times of distress, grow with you in mind and spirit, always be open and honest
with you, and cherish you all the days of our lives.”
The minister took the rings from Scott and performed
the traditional blessing of the rings ceremony.
“These rings are a symbol of the unbroken circle of
love. Love freely given has no beginning and no end, no giver and no receiver
for each is the giver and each is the receiver. May these rings always remind
you of the vows you have taken. Bless these rings that Marie and Logan, who
give them, and wear them, may ever abide in God’s peace. Living together in unity, love and happiness
for the rest of their lives. ”
“Logan, place the ring on Marie’s finger.”
“Marie, I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows,
and with all that I am and all that I have, I honor you. With this ring, I thee wed.”
“Marie, place the ring on Logan’s finger.”
“Logan, I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows,
and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you. With this ring, I
thee wed.”
“In as much as you have pledged to the other your
lifelong commitment, love and devotion, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
Those whom God has joined together let no one put asunder. Logan, you may kiss your bride.”
Logan and Marie melted into a passionate kiss to the
cheers and whistles of their friends and family. As the newlyweds came back up the aisle they were greeted by
everyone blowing liquid bubbles at them.

The fifty wedding guests were now enjoying hors
d’oeuvres and cocktails before dinner was scheduled to be served. Scott was dashing about acting like Steve
Martin in ‘Father of the Bride’ trying to ensure everything was perfect for his
Tinkerbell’s special day. Ororo just
watched in amusement as Scott repeatedly harassed the beleaguered wedding
planner and gave a small prayer that they had eloped. Dinner was finally ready to be served and everyone made they way
into the tent. The dinner menu
consisted of Caesar salad, bacon-wrapped filet mignon (to satisfy Logan and the
rest of the carnivores) or orange-glazed chicken served with fresh asparagus
and baked potatoes and a dessert bar that featured an assortment of treats with
heavy emphasis on anything chocolate as per the bride’s request.
Towards the end of the dinner, Scott stood up and
tapped on his wine glass with a spoon to get everyone’s attention.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention,
please. I would like to propose a toast
to my sister and new brother-in-law.”
Turning to face Logan and Marie he raised his wine glass and said:
“It fills my heart with joy to see my sister so happy
and the fact that Logan is the cause of that happiness……. well, it still stuns
me and yes, Agnes, I’ll make good on our bet.” A burst of laughter went up from
the crowd. “I adore my sister and want only the best for her……..unfortunately,
Logan is what we had to settle for.”
More laughter from the group.
“But seriously, I wish you both only joy, laughter and happiness – may
you always be each other’s best friend as you journey through life. I wish mom and dad could have been here to
share this special day with you, Tinkerbell.
I know they’re honored that you chose their wedding date as your own and
they’re looking down on us and smiling.”
Scott turned to the assembled group “Please raise your glasses to Logan
and Marie.”
“To Logan and Marie!”
The guests all shouted at once, followed by the sound of glasses
clinking together.
A dance floor had been laid at one end of the tent and
a deejay was ready to get the party started.
Nat King Cole’s soothing voice filled the air as Logan and Marie took to
the dance floor for the first time as husband and wife, wrapped in each other’s
arms they swayed gently to the music.
When I fall in love, it will be forever or I’ll never
fall in love.
In a restless world like this is, love is ended
before it’s begun.
And too many moonlight kisses, seem to melt in the
warmth of the sun.
When I give my heart, it will be forever. Or I’ll
never give my heart.
And the moment, I can feel that, you feel that way,
too.
Is when I’ll give my heart to you.
When the song ended, Marie stepped up to the
microphone and announced:
“As my darling brother and his beautiful wife chose to
elope instead of letting us throw them a proper shin-dig, they didn’t get to
have a ‘first dance’ ….. so I’d like them to come out onto the dance floor now
and correct that mistake.”
She signaled for the deejay and Scott and Ororo began
slow dancing to the Aaron Neville/Linda Ronstadt song, “All My Life”.
Am I really here in your
arms, it’s just like I dreamed it would be.
Feel like we’re frozen in
time, you’re the only one I can see.
Hey, I’ve looked all my
life for you and now you’re here.
Hey, I’ll spend all my life
with you.
Logan then had the deejay play a medley of songs
dedicated to Marie that included:
“Angel” by Lionel Ritchie, “ Amazed” by Lonestarr, “I
Finally Found Someone” by Bryan Adams & Barbra Striesand, “The Way You Look
Tonight” by Elton John, “From This Moment On” by Shania Twain, “You Are So
Beautiful” by Jim Croce and “2 Become 1” by the Spice Girls.
Then Jubilee and Kitty
decided to have some fun and requested the deejay play “It’s Raining Men” by
the Weather Girls and then dragged as many of the hapless men as possible onto
the dance floor for an impromptu bump and grind session including poor Ralph,
Agnes’ husband. Mrs. Anderson tried to stuff a dollar bill down Bobby’s pants
and had to be pried off him much to the embarrassment of the young man.
Jubilee’s date really got into the spirit of things and after removing his
shirt, had to be restrained from taking off anything else. There was the
traditional tossing of the bouquet, caught by Kitty and the garter toss, caught
by Bobby and the cutting of the cake with Logan being polite and not smearing
any on Marie, who wasn’t as polite and smashed a piece into Logan’s nose, much
to Scott’s delight.
The partying continued with
everyone dancing and having a rocking good time until well after 1:00 am when
Logan and Marie finally left for their honeymoon night at the Plaza before
leaving the next day to go to Santorini, Greece for two weeks. The party was a
dazzling success despite Scott’s stressing out and nearly causing the wedding
planner to have a nervous breakdown. In
the limo on the ride to the Plaza, Logan and Marie discovered a special gift
from Jubilee and Kitty – a ‘Honeymoon Kit’ containing Godiva chocolates, tropical
scented massage oil, a small bottle of Asti Spumonti, a book entitled “The
Honeymooner’s Guide To Sex” and a package of condoms with a note attached that
read: Oops,
too late!
