The song “From
This Moment On” is by Shania Twain.
Kitty slipped
out of her and Scott’s suite just prior to midnight and returned to Jubilee’s
room. The next morning there was a knock on the door and when Jubilee stumbled
out of bed and opened the door she found a tray with breakfast and a note
addressed to Kitty. Jubilee set the tray on the desk, handed the note to Kitty,
and poured them both some coffee from the carafe.
My Darling Kissycat,
I just wanted to start your day by telling you how
much I love you and that I can’t wait until I can finally call you my wife. You
are my sun, my stars, my moon and my goddess – now and forever.
Love,
Scott
“God, Kitty, if
I wasn’t so happy for you, I’d die of jealousy,” Jubilee said as she sipped at
her coffee.
“You’ll find
someone, Jubes,” Kitty told her as she placed the note into the box on the
dresser with the others Scott had given her over the course of their courtship.
“Not unless the
Professor recruits some fresh meat,” Jubilee joked as she picked up a blueberry
muffin.
Kitty walked
over to the desk to get her coffee and helped herself to a Danish.
They had just
finished breakfast when there was another knock on the door and a soft voice
said, “Kitty, sweetie, it’s mom.”
Jubilee answered
the door and let Kitty’s mother, Terri in. She walked across the room, sat on
the bed next to Kitty and handed her a small red velvet box. Opening it, Kitty
found a small gold Star of David.
“It was your
great-grandmother’s,” Terri explained, “She wore it on her wedding day and your
grandmother and I wore it on our wedding days. Now it’s your turn and when you
have a daughter, she’ll wear it one day, too.”
“Oh, mom, it’s
beautiful, thank you,” Kitty said embracing her mother in a tight hug.
“Well, that
takes care of the something old,” Jubilee said, “The garter is something blue,
the dress is something new, so we just need something borrowed.”
Terri removed
the pearl earrings from her ears and handed them to Kitty.
“These were your
father’s wedding gift to me.”
“Okay, so we
have everything covered – cool,” Jubilee said.
“I think I’m
gonna go take a nice long soak in the tub,” Kitty told them.
“I’ll be back in
a couple of hours to help you get dressed,” Terri said as she gave her daughter
a peck on the cheek and stood up to leave.
“I’m glad you
and daddy are here, mom. I know you had your reservations about Scott and……….”
“Honey, all we
ever wanted was for you to be happy. Yes, we were concerned at first, but
Scott’s a fine young man and we know you’re in good hands. Your father and I
love you very much and we’re very proud of the young woman you’ve become.”
“Thanks, mom.”
“Will you and
Carmen adopt me?” Jubilee asked jokingly.
Terri gave
Jubilee a hug before leaving. Kitty then went and soaked in the tub until
Jubilee banged on the door and warned her it wouldn’t look good if she was all
‘pruney’ on her wedding day.
A few hours
later Jubilee’s room was turned into a dressing room when Ororo, Terri and
Rogue came to help Kitty get ready. As it was Valentine’s Day Kitty had chosen
gowns by Badgley Mischka made of pale pink silk with crystal beading. Jubilee
defiantly informed her that she was wearing yellow lingerie. Two of Kitty’s
young cousins were serving as flower girls and their dresses were white ball
gown style with a pink rose at the waistband. There was plenty of laughter as
last minute touch ups to hair and make-up were done and then it was off to the
main foyer for formal photographs.
Carmen entered the foyer to let them know that everyone was assembled
and ready in the main ballroom. At the sight of his daughter in her wedding
gown, his eyes misted up.
“Oh, princess,
you look so beautiful,” he said proudly.
Kitty beamed
radiantly as she did a little twirl and the ball gown-style dress swirled
around her like a cloud.
The wedding
party then made their way to the main ballroom. Kitty and her parents stood to
one side waiting for their cue while Ororo, Rogue, Jubilee and Kitty’s cousins
lined up ready to start the procession. The double doors were opened to reveal
the ballroom decorated for the occasion with white ribbons and hundreds of pink
roses. At the end of the aisle under the traditional chupah made of white
battenburg lace Scott stood waiting for his bride, dressed in a pale gray
morning suit with a pink rose boutonnière. To his left and fidgeting with the
collar of his suit, stood Logan returning the favor by acting as Scott’s best
man.
“You’ve got the
rings, right? You haven’t lost them?” Scott whispered out of the corner of his
mouth.
“Geez, will you
relax. They’re right here,” Logan said as he patted his pocket, then a funny
look flashed across his face.
“What?” Scott
hissed.
“I thought they
were in here,” Logan said patting himself down.
“You’ve lost the
rings?” Scott muttered in a panic.
“I got ‘em,
Scooter,” Logan joked holding them out for Scott to see, “I was just yanking
your chain.”
“That’s not even
remotely funny, you cretin.”
Logan just
smirked and tucked the rings safely back into his pocket as Scott smiled and
tried to refrain from blasting Logan out of the ballroom.
A quartet of
musicians began playing a soft melody by Strauss as the two little girls and
the three women slowly edged down the white satin runner. Then the ballroom was
filled with the strains of ‘Here comes the bride’ and Kitty and her parents
appeared in the doorway and began the slow walk down the aisle. Scott caught
his breath at the sight of his luminous bride as she glided toward him looking
like an angel that had floated down from heaven. When they reached the end of
the aisle, Carmen reached out and shook Scott’s hand and then placed Kitty’s
hand in Scott’s. Kitty smiled brightly at Scott when she saw that he was
wearing the yarmulke her mother had bought for him. Hand in hand they turned
toward the Rabbi.
“We start this
simcha with the betrothal benediction,” Rabbi Silberman said as he raised a
goblet of wine, “We praise you, Adonai our God, Ruler of the universe, Creator
of the fruit of the vine.”
To Kitty’s
delight Scott recited the berakhot,”baruk
atah adonai eloheynu melek ha-olam... Blessed are you, O Lord our
God, ruler of the universe...”
Scott and Kitty
then each took a sip of the wine.
“Instead of the
traditional seven benedictions, Scott and Kathryn have asked that their friends
and family share their wishes for them.”
“I wish for you
good health,” Carmen said.
“I wish for you
happiness and joy,” Terri said.
“I wish for you
peace,” Charles said.
“Ah wish for you
healthy children,” Rogue said.
“I wish for you
good fortune,” Logan said.
“I wish for you
only sunny days,” Ororo said.
“I wish for you
a long life together,” Jubilee said.
The wine goblet
was passed around and everyone took a sip.
Scott then
turned to Kitty and said, “Kitty, you’ve brought such joy into my life and a
sense of peace I’ve never had before. You’ve renewed my life with your laughter
and your spirit for living. I promise to love you and protect you and cherish
you always.”
“Scott, I’ve
loved you for so long and to be standing here today to become your wife is a
joy unparalleled in my life. You are, and always will be, my hero. I promise to
love you and honor you and cherish you always.”
“Scott, please
place the ring on Kathryn’s finger and invoke your vow,” the Rabbi instructed.
Logan reached
into his pocket, fished out Kitty’s ring and handed it to Scott, whose hand was
shaking a little as he took it. Logan gave him a light punch on the arm,
grinned at him and gave him a conspiratorial wink.
Scott placed the
diamond encrusted platinum band on Kitty’s finger and said, “Thou art
consecrated unto me with this ring as my wife, according to the laws of Moses
and Israel.”
Logan then
handed an equally nervous Kitty the platinum band for Scott.
Kitty placed the
ring on Scott’s finger and said, “Thou art consecrated unto me with this ring
as my husband, according to the laws of Moses and Israel.”
“As you have
proclaimed the Sheva berakhot and entered into the ketubah, in the eyes of the
Lord of Abraham so you shall now be husband and wife.”
A glass wrapped
in a piece of cloth was placed in front of Scott, who smashed it with his foot.
“Mazel
tov!” Everyone yelled in unison as the
newlyweds melted into a tender kiss.
Scott and Kitty
were showered with confetti as they made their way back down the aisle and into
the main foyer for the formal photographs.
After the
photographs, everyone went back into the ballroom for dinner. There were round tables covered with white
battenburg lace tablecloths with centerpieces of pink and cream roses and the
chairs were festooned with pink satin ribbons and white roses. Fica trees had
been set around the perimeter of the room, their branches adorned with white
twinkling lights making everything shimmer softly and making a beautiful swan
ice sculpture, courteous of Bobby, sparkle like crystal.
Toward the end of
the dinner, Logan rose to give the traditional best man’s speech. Scott braced
himself as Logan cleared his throat.
“Now I could
take this opportunity to partake in my favorite activity which is to annoy the
hell out of Scooter, but seeing as I don’t wanna sleep on the couch tonight, I
promised my wife I’d behave,” Logan said throwing a wink his wife’s way, “I’d
always wondered what it would take to dislodge the large stick Scott had wedged
up his ass, and apparently it was the love of the right woman.”
Logan ignored
the snickering and continued, “I’m glad you two found each other. I hope you’ll
be as happy as Marie and I are. Lehayyim.”
Everyone raised
their glasses and shouted, “Lehayyim.”
Scott stood up
and said simply, “Thank you everyone for being here today to help us celebrate.
Lehayyim.”
Everyone raised
their glasses again and shouted, “Lehayyim.”
The centerpiece
of the dessert table was a triple-tiered white frosted cake decorated with pink
frosting hearts. The little groom figurine even had red-tinted sunglasses
painted on his face.
After dinner,
Scott and Kitty made their way over to the dance floor for their first dance as
husband and wife.
I do swear that I'll aways be there.
I'd give anything and everything and I will always care.
Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow,
for better or worse, I will love you with
every beat of my heart.
From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on
You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on
The party went
on until the early hours of the morning when Scott and Kitty finally slipped
out to go to the Plaza for their wedding night. Kitty broke out into fits of
laughter when they went outside to find their limousine had been decorated with
hundreds of condoms.
“I guess Logan’s
paying you back for that blow-up doll stunt,” Kitty giggled.
Scott tipped the
chauffeur and informed him that they’d be taking their own car.
“When we get to
the hotel, we better check the sheets for Icy-Hot,” Scott said.
“Oh, Scott,
Logan wouldn’t do that,” Kitty replied then noticing the smirk on Scott’s face,
asked, “What did you do?”
“Let’s just say
that ‘burning love’ is gonna take on a whole new meaning for a certain somebody
tonight.”
“It’s a good
thing we’re gonna be in the Caribbean for the next couple of weeks,” Kitty said
with a shake of her head and a giggle.
Soon after
everyone had retired an ear-piercing scream shattered the quiet of the mansion,
followed by the sound of an extremely pissed off Wolverine shouting, “Fucking
Scooter!”
