"V, are you ready?"
Viper turned to her sister. She looked absolutly stunning. Jamie and
Vipers mother stood there, already in her dress. She dabbed at her
eyes with a tissue
"Oh...My little Viper's getting married..."
"Viper turned to her smiling, "Yes mom. And it's Kosher. I figured you'd
want it that way."
"My little bubeleh Viper," their maternal grandmother, Bubee Ori,
walked over, "Her greying hair done up in curls for the wedding. Her
husband, Boris walked over, wearing a nice suit and his yarmulke.
He kissed her cheeks, " Viper, you got a lot a chutzpah! That goy
Jackie better be a mentsh to my little kindelah."
"Viper giggled, "He is, Zaydee."
"Feh! Don't call me Zaydee, you make me feel old!"
Jamie and vipers dad, James, entered the room, "The ceremony's
starting."
"OY VEY! Come on, Ori, lets get to our seats!" Boris said grabbing
her hand.
"I'm comin' you yutzi meshugana!" she said, jerking away and kissing
Vipers cheek before following him.
Jamie and vViper giggled, "Man, could Bubbe and Zaydee BE more
Jewish?"
"I don't think so," Viper said grinning, "Come on, let's go. Don't wanna
be late for my own wedding."

Susan and James, though divorced, both walked Viper down the aisel
where Jackie stood and tok her hand, leading her to the marriage
contract, signing it before stepping under the Chuppa. Viper performed
the ceremonial circling of the groom, walking around him three times.
Jackie, along with all the men, was wearing a yarmulke. He felt rather
silly, but he wanted to respect Vipers wish for a jewish wedding, given
her half-jewish heritage. The Rabbi stood before them and began
reading from the torah over a chalice of wine. He handed the wine
glass to them. Jackie sipped the wine, Viper followed suit.
"Now we exchange rings," Viper said slipping her ring onto his finger.
"I remember," Jackie said, putting his ring onto her ring finger. He
smiled at her as the Rabbi began reading the seven wedding blessings
in english so the guests could understand.

He handed the wine glass back to Jackie and Viper, and they drank
again. Jackie then took the winebottle wrappedin a white cloth and
stomped on it, breaking it into adozen pieces
"Mazel Tov!" Everyone yelled and cheered as they kissed, and exchanged
rings.
They were now, officialy, Mr. and Mrs. Chan.

Captain Black shook Jackie's hand, "Congradulations, Jackie, I knew
you had it in you. Love the way you stomped that wine bottle."
"Thanks Augustus, it kinda hurt though" Jackie said, wincing a little.
"Come here you!" Captain Black said, laughing and giving him a noogie.
"Hey!"

Susan and Jamie hugged Viper. Susan wiped her eyes with a cloth
"Oh, my little baby...All grown up and married!"
"Oh, Mom..."
Bubee Ori walked over, elbowing her smirking, "Now you have to wait
for her to hop on his schmekle start popping out babies."
"MOTHER!" Susan said, making a face.
Jamie and Viper laughed.
"What's a schmekle?" Jade asked.
Viper led her away, giggling, "Nothing, Jade...Nothing at all..." Jamie snickered
"Well, not NOTHING," Viper said.
Jamie burst out laughing again.
Jade rolled her eyes, "I'll never understand adults..."
