Re: Alex and Alexis's Wedding.... Part 1

[Pockets]

Alexis smiles, nodding. She hands the note and her bouquet over to Amanda.

[Cryonix]

Pastor: Shall we begin? Have you the ring?

Gabe: Yes.

Gabe hands the ring to Alex..

Pastor: Alexander...as you place the ring on Alexis's finger repeat after me...I, Alexander Ian Edwards take you, Alexis Morgan O'Ryan to be my lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex repeats as he slides a platinum wedding band on Alexis' finger engraved with the words "My Alex".

Alex: I, Alexander Ian Edwards take you, Alexis Morgan O'Ryan to be my lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.

[Jabberwocky]

Colin rolls his eyes
Colin:"I heard yeah..."

Ashley:"Colin."

Colin turns his focus back to the wedding

[Cryonix]

The pastor nods and Jayden hands Alexis her ring, a platinum wedding band, engraved with the words "My Alexis"...

Pastor: Alexis, as you place the ring on Alexander's finger repeat after me...I, Alexis Morgan O'Ryan take you, Alexander Ian Edwards to be my lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.

Alexis looks Alex right in the eyes, smiling as she slips the wedding band on Alex's finger.

Alexis: I, Alexis Morgan O'Ryan take you, Alexander Ian Edwards to be my lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.

[Cryonix]

Pastor: Who gives their daughter to be married to this man?

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley rises
Ashley:"...I give her."

[Cryonix]

The pastor nods at Ashley. He looks back to the bride and groom...

Pastor: Alexander...Alexis. Your hearts have been joined as one...much longer than this ceremony. May your union be prosperous and may you know years of happiness. If there is anyone here...that is opposed to this holy union...let them speak now...or forever hold their peace.

[Pockets]

Alexis glances uneasily at Nana.

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan can be felt giving off vibes of "Don't make me have to kill someone today."

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley sits back down from giving Alexis away and looks briefly at Ewan

[Cryonix]

The pastor waits...and waits...and waits...then finally...

Pastor: Very well then...By the power vested in me by the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago...and the authority given to me by God...I now pronounce you man and wife. Alexander...you may kiss your bride.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex smiles broadly before pulling Alexis close and kissing her deeply, but much to the relief of the bridesmaids it is an appropriate kiss for a wedding.

Alex: Hello Mrs. Edwards.

[Pockets]

Alexis grins.

Alexis: It's going to take some getting used to, hearing that and realizing it's me.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex: Well then I suppose I'll have to call you that all the time until you get used to it.... Mrs. Edwards.

[Jabberwocky]

With the kiss there is a round of applause

[Cryonix]

Everyone stands and applauds as Alex and Alexis Edwards are presented officially for the first time. Jillian, who's been quiet the whole time wipes tears away from her eyes. Ben stands and nods to a crew member who runs off. Ben smiles and calls for attention...

Ben: Everyone...please, if I may have your attention. Alex, Alexis...if you would please come outside onto deck first followed by their families and everyone else.

[Pockets]

Alexis grins at Alex and takes his arm.

Alexis: Well, shall we?

[Cruel Britannia]

He leans over and gives her a quick peck on the head.

Alex: We shall.

They walk out onto deck.

[Cryonix]

Ben: I thought it would only be appropriate to celebrate your wedding in this way...

Ben casts his hand to the sky...and suddenly the nighttime sky of Chicago is lit up...



Ben: Congrats, you two. I love you both.

[Pockets]

Alexis stares at the fireworks.

Alexis: Oh... wow....

[Cryonix]

Ben: Don't thank me. I just made the call...thank your husband, dear.

[Pockets]

Alexis looks at Alex.

Alexis: You planned this?

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex laughs.

Alex: I mentioned fireworks..... I didn't think it would turn out this..... extravagant.

He nods to Ben in appreciation of the gesture.

Thank you..... for everything.
