The ceremony passed quickly - there were a lot of tears (of joy!). Voices trembled as the vows were recited - hearts were racing towards the climax of the ceremony - when Tia and Trent would be announced man and wife. All of the girls could feel the tears welling up in their eyes, but they held back the best they could. The minister held the rings up - telling to use them as a symbol of their love - there is no beginning and no end. They promised that with the rings, they would honor, cherish, have and hold, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, in health - as long as they both shall live. They knew that what God had brought together, no man could put asunder. And then, it was done - two had become one, and the Maynor's were presented. There wasn't a dry eye in the place!

The recessional started: Tia and Trent walked down the aisle together, ready to start their new life together. Their excitement seemed to be contagious! The flower girl and ring bearer followed, along with Jess and Jeremy - they seemed to be in such high spirits - they belonged together, it was obvious. Liz and Conner matched each other stride for stride as they ambled down the aisle and Maria and Ken soon followed. Conner kept ahold of Elizabeth's arm and dragged her away from the crowd until they were out of plain view of anyone.

"Conner, where are we going? What's going on?" "THIS, is going on, Wakefield", and he grabbed her face between his two hands and pulled her close to him. And then he kissed her. He let go, and both of their faces showed a great deal of shock. Liz's heart was racing - how was she supposed to react to that? She felt her hand raise, but obviously her heart was moving faster than her mind because instead of slapping him - she reached out and gently touched his face - and she brought him in close to her. This was enough encouragement for the both of them, as the resolve melted and lips melded into a series of fire kisses. They pulled away, breathless.

"We should probably get back - before the others notice that we've disappeared" Liz said, finally.

"Just know this isn't over yet, Wakefield - we've only just begun" Conner added
