Chapter 10 – Amanda and Kyle's Wedding
It was the day of Amanda and Kyle's wedding. Amanda, Kira, Debbie and June were at Amanda's house getting ready. Amanda's father, Martin, was downstairs waiting for her. Neil was over at Mark's with Kyle getting ready.
"OK, Amanda, let's get to work."
"Thanks for helping me, Mum."
"Don't worry about it. Your Dad will be so proud when he sees you like this."
After 20 minutes, Amanda was ready. She took one last look at herself in the mirror and said, "WOW. I look fantastic."
The others smiled and nodded. A few minutes later, they were all ready, so they headed downstairs to get to the car. When Amanda came downstairs, Martin said to her, "My baby girl is all grown up. You look beautiful, Precious."
"Thanks, Dad."
Just then the car came up and they all got in and headed off towards the Abbey.

Meanwhile, at Reefside Abbey, Kyle was waiting anxiously for his fiancée to turn up.
Neil saw Jade, Conner, Ethan, Sam, Hayley, Tommy and Leanne so he went to talk to them before the ceremony started.
"Hey guys."
"Neil, Buddy. How are you?"
"Fine, Con. Thanks."
"You look great Neil."
"Thanks Sam."
"I agree with Sam."
"Thanks, Hayls."
"He doesn't look great. In fact he looks handsome in his kilt."
"Thanks Sweetheart."
"Hey Neil, have you seen Kir?"
"Nope, I haven't. She was with my mum, so I don't know what she's wearing."
"OK. I guess I'll just have to wait to see what she is wearing. Neil, can I talk to you in private?"
"Sure, Con."
So Neil and Conner headed off to a corner of the Abbey.
"What's up Con?"
"I'm going to ask Kira to marry me."
"Same here. I mean I'm going to ask Jade. I'm going to do it at the reception."
"Same here."
Just then, Kyle came up to them and said, "Neil, we'd better get in position. It's about time for us to start."
Neil nodded and Conner went to sit down beside the rest of their mates.
Meanwhile, in the Bridal Chamber, Amanda was waiting nervously for their cue to start.
Martin turned to Kira and said, "Kira, I think you look beautiful as does your Mum."
Kira smiled and said, "Thanks, Granddad."
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Debbie answered it and it was Neil.
"Hi Neil."
"Hi Debbie. It's almost time."
"OK."
So Amanda, Martin, Debbie and Kira headed out to the door of the Abbey. They heard the piano playing, so Debbie entered first.
She made her way down to the end of the aisle. She caught Mark's eye and smiled at him.
Kira came down the aisle next. She headed to her place beside Debbie. She stood beside Debbie and looked at the congregation. Her eyes caught Conner's and they smiled at each other.
The piano began playing "Here Comes The Bride" and the congregation stood up and looked towards the doors. Kyle smiled at the sight of Amanda as she headed down the aisle towards him.
When Amanda reached the end of the aisle, the Minister called for silence. When all was silent, he said, "Who gives this lady to this man?"
"I do." Martin answered.
The Minister then nodded and the congregation sat down and Martin headed over to June and sat beside her giving her a small kiss on the cheek. The Minister then continued the service.
"We are gathered here today to witness the joining of this man to this woman. If there is anyone here who objects to this marriage, speak now or forever hold your peace."
When no-one spoke, the Minister continued. "Kyle, Amanda, turn to face each other please." They did so and he continued.
"Kyle, repeat after me, 'I Kyle Alan McBride take thee Amanda Jane Ford'"
"I Kyle Alan McBride take thee Amanda Jane Ford."
"To be my lawful wedded wife."
"To be my lawful wedded wife."
"To have and to hold,"
"To have and to hold,"
"For better and for worse,"
"For better and for worse,"
"For richer and for poorer,"
"For richer and for poorer,"
"In sickness and in health,"
"In sickness and in health,"
"Til death do us part."
"Til death do us part."
The Minister then turned to Amanda and said, "Amanda, repeat after me, 'I Amanda Jane Ford, take thee Kyle Alan McBride,'"
"I Amanda Jane Ford, take thee Kyle Alan McBride,"
"To be my lawful wedded husband,"
"To be my lawful wedded husband,"
"To have and to hold,"
"To have and to hold,"
"For better and for worse,"
"For better and for worse,"
"For richer and for poorer,"
"For richer and for poorer,"
"In sickness and in health,"
"In sickness and in health,"
"'Til death do us part."
"'Til death do us part."
The Minister then turned to Mark and asked, "Do you have the rings?" Mark nodded and placed them on the Minister's Bible.
The Minister then turned back to Kyle and said, "Kyle, take the ring." Kyle did so and the Minister continued, "Kyle, place the ring halfway down the fourth finger of Amanda's left hand and repeat after me, "'With this ring, I thee wed.'"
Kyle placed the ring halfway on Amanda's finger and said, "With this ring, I thee wed." He then pushed the ring the rest of the way down her finger.
The Minister then turned to Amanda and said, "Amanda, take the ring." Amanda did so and the Minister continued, "Amanda, place the ring halfway down the fourth finger of Kyle's left hand and repeat after me, "'With this ring, I thee wed.'"
Amanda did as she was asked and said, "With this ring, I thee wed." She then pushed the ring the rest of the way down Kyle's finger.
The Minister then said, "With the power invested in me, I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may now kiss your bride." Kyle and Amanda then kissed and released each other and turned to face the congregation. The Minister continued, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you, for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Kyle McBride."
Kyle and Amanda headed down the aisle together as Man and Wife to the applause of the congregation followed by Debbie and Mark, then lastly, Kira and Neil.
