Disclaimer: I do not own D2 or D3, Disney does. I also do not own the song, "You Are So Beautiful", Joe Crocker does.
Author's Note: Also writing this as Michelle giving the first group of students she tutored the option to call her by what they were used to calling her, Ms. MacKay.
A/N 2: I know that Michelle's family was never mentioned so for a part flashback sequence it will be Hans who walked Michelle down the aisle. Also set after the teams first year at Eden.
A/N 3: I did some research and picked Axel's Chanhassen as the location the reception.

Chapter 1: Newlyweds
Following the beautiful wedding ceremony, the small group of wedding guests had gathered at the Axel's Chanhassen banquet room.
Amidst the simple reception décor of tinges of blue and pink, roses, lilies, tulips and carnations the guests were buzzing with excitement when Charlie got everyone's attention by tapping on the microphone.
"Okay good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I know you are all waiting for the celebration to get started. So here they are…the guests of honor, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Bombay!"
As they heard the Charlie make the announcement Michelle was enjoying her time in Gordon's arms.
"You know Mr. Bombay I could get used to this," Michelle whispered in a low sensual voice into Gordon's left ear.
Gordon smiled and said, "I could get used to calling you Mrs. Bombay and did I mention how stunning you are in your gown?"
Michelle unwrapped her arms from Gordon's neck looked him in the eyes, smiled and give him another loving kiss before rewrapping her arms around Gordon this time just a little tighter.
Then as he held his wife closer to him, he thought back to when he saw Hans walk her down the aisle in her white strapless satin and taffeta gown with beaded metallic lace on the bodice. The dress pick-up skirt and chapel train and a blusher veil covering her beautiful face. He felt as if all air had left him when he saw her.
When Gordon and Michelle had heard their names called, they came apart held hands and walked into the cheering banquet room.
As they were being congratulated and being called Mr. and Mrs. Bombay, Michelle remembered how she told the first group of kids she tutored that they could still call her Ms. MacKay if they chose to.
After Gordon and Michelle visited some of the tables and received more congratulations and socializing amongst the guests, Charlie stood and got everyone's attention by gently clinking on his glass cup with a fork and cleared his throat to make his speech.
"Hey everyone I want to thank each and every one of you for coming and I promise my speech will be short. I just want to start off by saying how happy I am to see Coach and Ms. MacKay together. As most of you know that I first met Coach Bombay when he began coaching District 5 peewee hockey. It was then he took me under his wing and from there I learned a lot from him. As for Ms. MacKay well it was when Mr. Tibbles hired her as a team tutor. All I can say is that she is awesome especially the one time she filled in as coach and then joined us in every way possible. It was also then I realized when the two of them were looking at each in a very special way. I had definitely for sure noticed it after we beat Team Iceland at the Junior Goodwill Games in Anaheim that they truly were meant for each other even if they were together yet. They deserve all the happiness in the world…to the happy couple."
"Here, here!" exclaimed the guests.
After Charlie spoke he handed the microphone to Julie and she stood up and with a piece of paper as her reference. She began her speech.
"Hi everyone and I would like to thank you all for being able to come today. I want to start off by saying thank you Ms. MacKay for asking me to be your maid of honor. I have known both Coach and Ms. MacKay the same amount time. From the time I joined the hockey team for the Junior Goodwill Games. I think I was selected to accept the honor to give this speech was because despite my tough exterior, Ms. MacKay could tell underneath I was feminine. I accepted the invitation because I along with everyone else knew that she would be perfect for Coach and it gives me a chance to be able to dress up as well.
"Coach and Ms. MacKay met as Charlie mentioned, when our then team's sponsor, Mr. Tibbles hired her as our tutor. She introduced herself after Mr. Tibbles was injured. I think the first time I noticed that their friendship became more serious was when Ms. MacKay was getting into the hockey action more than when she first started to tutor. It became obvious as the tournament was drawing down to its final matches. They looked at each other in a different way then when they first met. Even before they announced that they were getting married I along with Connie were the first to notice the ring on Ms. MacKay's finger," Julie paused a bit and then walked to where Gordon and Michelle were sitting and then continued.
"During the wedding ceremony I noticed how Coach and Ms. MacKay looked at each other like nothing else in the world mattered; it was a look of true love and happiness. I want to wish Coach and Ms. MacKay all the happiness in the world as they deserve all the happiness they can get. Let's raise our glasses to the happy couple. To Coach and Ms. MacKay may you the rest of your lives and future be as happy it was today."
"Here, here."
After all the speeches had been given Luis had volunteered to be the DJ made an announcement.
"Okay now it is time for the bride and groom to dance their first dance as husband and wife, and I have the groom's special request picked out."
When the song "You Are So Beautiful" began to play, Gordon looked at Michelle and asked, "May I have this dance Mrs. Bombay?"
Michelle smiled radiantly and said, "Yes Mr. Bombay I would be delighted."
Gordon gave her his left arm and Michelle took it, letting him lead the way to the dance floor. When they reached the dance floor, he took her left hand placed it on his shoulder, then took her right hand in his left hand as he placed his right hand on her back and began to dance.
You are so beautiful to me Such joy and happiness you bring
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
You're everything I hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful to me
Such joy and happiness you bring
Like a dream
A guiding light that shines in the night
Heavens gift to me
You are so beautiful to me
After a few more hours of celebrating in which Julie caught the and Charlie caught the garter, the guests followed the newlyweds out the reception area to where they were showered with rice as they got in the sports car with the "Just Married" poster hung from the back and drove off to catch their flight. Romantic sightseeing was on the agenda for the two newlyweds.
