"You got her pregnant" Jamal yelled at his friend. "Jamal, it`s not what you think" Jack started. "Save it man. I got to see her" he said jogging away. "Dam" Jack whispered putting his head in his hands "Alison is going to flip".

Meanwhile the ladies were just arriving at the church. "Ohmigosh I am so excited!" Alison said stepping out of the limo. "You should be it's your wedding day, come on let's go get you into your wedding dress" Lucy squealed. "Yes le`s go" Alison said takeing Lucy`s hand and dragging her into the church. The others followed, ecept for Karen, Ian, & Danny. "Ian I`m so sorry for breaking down on you like that" Karen said blushing bright red. "Oh Karen, it`s fine" Ian siad hugging his friend "Don`t mind Frank. He`s a jerk". "No he isn`t. Well not normally" Karen admitted "We just got back together. I don`t underdstand". "Oh Karen he doesn't deserve you" Ian siad rubbing her back. "Thanks Ian. Thanks for lying". She gave a weak smile and wntered the church. "I`m not lying" Ian whispered to her, but she was to far away to hear.

Jamal knocked hard on Alison`s dressing door. "Come in" he heard her say softly. He gasped at the sight of her. She stood in front of the window. The sun light was pouring in, and made her look like an angel. Her long blonde hair was laying in long curls her shoulder. Her long white dress, sparkled in the sunlight. It was strapless, and had tiny sparkles covering it. It puffed out at the bottom. Around the waist, there was a tiny belt of shiny (fake) diamonds that went around her waist and ran all the way down the long train. "So much for simple" she laughed. "You look beautiful, like an angel" Jamal whispered. "Really" she asked spinning around, to show off her dress. Jamal smiled "Would I lie to you". "Nope" she giggled "What are you doing" she asked. "I um.." he started but he didn't really know what to say. Should he comfort her about having a baby at 21, for marrying someone she didn't love like he had planed . But when he say the look of happiness on her face, he knew she loved him. "Came to say congratulations" he smiled. "Thanks" she said "How`s Jack". "He`s fine. Chris is helpping him put on his tux". "Chris" Alison raised an eye brow. "Hey it`s the one thing he is good at" Jamal laughed. Alison laughed and then asked "So how does he look". "Who Chris" Jamal asked. "No" Alison said playfully slaping him "Jack". Jamal thouhg for a second "Happy. Jack looks happy"

"Knock knock" Rafe knocked on Jack`s door. They had tried both calling Alison & Jack, but no answer. "Where is he?" Livvie said pacing in front of the door. "Jack" Rafe called "Alison open up". Nobody answered. "Let`s try Ali`s & the Recovery Room" Livvie said. "& the hosptal" Rafe put in."Okay lets go". So they hopped in the car & drove to Alison`s. "Knock knock" Livvie banged on the door "Alison you home". They waited "She wound`t open for me anyways. Rafe you try". Rafe banged on the door "Alison, it`s me Rafe. I need to talk to you, very badly". Still no answer "Alison I love you" he called. The were met by silence. "Dam where are they" Rafe siad slumping agianest the wall. "Come on the Recovery Room" Livvie said takeing his hand. They ran out of the building to the car.

"Alison, the wedding is going to begin in 5 minutes" Karen said placing Alison`s vail on top of her head. "Really?Why not sooner" Alison said closing her eyes. Karen laughed "Alison it`s 5 minutes. We have to go and get you ready now. Then we will take ours seats" she motioned towards Lucy & Doriee. "Christina will walk down the alse. Then me with Danny. Then you & Ian" Karen said finally. Alison noticed the way she said Ian. Really happy."Come on let`s go" Lucy said standing up "Come on Sweet Pea". Christina took Lucy`s hand, and she lead hr to wear she was to stand. She left Christina in front of the huge doors to the church and went inside. Next Karen stood with little Danny. Then Alison walked into the area. "Wow Ali, you look prefect" Ian said kissing her cheek. "Thanks. Not so bad yourself" she winked. Danny giggled in Karen`s arms. He had on a little tux & looked so sweet. Christina jumped up and down wiht hre little basket of rose petals. "When,when" she whispered. "When the doors open, Christina" Alison whispered back. "Okay" she smiled. A few minutes later they heard soft music flood from behind the doors. They opened & Christina stepped through. Every one turned and smild at the small child. Before Karen went she turned and smiled at Alison. She gave her a thumbs up and walked down the alse. "Karen sure does look beautiful" Ian said. "I know" Alison said smileing. Then the soft music ended, and the wedding march began. "Ready" Ian asked. "I`ve been for a long while" Alison whispered.

"Colleen have you seen, Alison Barrgton or Jack Ramsey here today" Rafe asked Colleen at the hosptal. They had been to the Recovery Room, and the girl there had said Alison ahd taken the day off. "No I`m sorry Rafe" Colleen said. "Thanks" Rafe answered. Frank who ahd been standing near by, heard Rafe. "Hey Rafe" he called. "Hi Frank" Rafe said running his fingers through his hair. "Did you ask where Alison & Jack are". "Yah, do you know" Rafe asked. "yes" he said shakeing his head. "Both of them" Livvie asked rushing over. "Yes" he answered agian. "Where?" Livvie asked rushed. "There wedding" Frank answered simpley. "Whose wedding" Rafe asked wide eyed. "There`s. I was supposed to go, but I had to work". "Alison & Jack are getting married" Livvie asked shakeing. "Yes" Frank said annoyed. "When. When does it start" Rafe asked. Frank looked at his watch. Then he looked up at the couple "5 Minutes ago". "NO!" Livvie howled. "Where?" Rafe asked "Where is this hapening". "St James Church" Frank answeed "Why what`s wrong". "I need to stop the women I love from marrying another man" Rafe said fleeing from the hosptal with Livvie close behind.

Jasp gasped at the sight. Alison stood at the back of the church, like an angel. She smiled and took her frist step up the alse. Ian walked her up the alse, but They never lost eye contact. Soon she was by his side. He cound`t wait to marry, Alison. The women he loved, & always would. The Reverend began before he could look at her.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the sight of God and angels, and the presence of friends and loved ones, to celebrate one of life's greatest moments, to give recognition to the worth and beauty of love, and to add our best wishes and blessings to the words which shall unite Jack and Alison in wedded bliss"

"Should there be anyone who has cause why this couple should not be united in marriage, they must speak now or forever hold their peace." (there was silence)

"Who is it that brings this woman to this man?"

Ian stepped forward. "I do."

Jack and Alison, life is given to each of us as individuals, and yet we must learn to live together. Love is given to us by our family and friends. We learn to love by being loved. Learning to love and living together is one of life's greatest challenges and is the shared goal of a married life."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Rafe couldn`t belive what Frank had just told them. Alison was getting married. He drove as fast he could, to gte to her. To stop her froming marrying him. He couldn`t help but wonder why. Why was she marrying Ramsey. Finally Livvvie spoke both there fear "What if we don`t make it in time". "We have to" Rafe said not takeing his eyes of the road "We just have to"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"But a husband and wife should not confuse love of worldly measures for even if worldly success is found, only love will maintain a marriage. Mankind did not create love; love is created by God. The measure of true love is a love both freely given and freely accepted, just as God's love of us is unconditional and free."

"Today truly is a glorious day the Lord hath made - as today both of you are blessed with God's greatest of all gifts - the gift of abiding love and devotion between a man and a woman. All present here today - and those here in heart - wish both of you all the joy, happiness and success the world has to offer."

"As you travel through life together, I caution you to remember that the true measure of success, the true avenue to joy and peace, is to be found within the love you hold in your hearts. I would ask that you hold the key to your heart very tightly."

"Would you please face each other and join hands?"

Alison handed her bouquet to Karen and she and Jack joined their hands.

"Jack, do you take Alison to be your wife? Do you promise to love, honor, cherish and protect her, forsaking all others and holding only to her forevermore?"

Jack smiled at Alison. "I do."

"Alison, do you take Jack to be your husband? Do you promise to love, honor, cherish and protect him, forsaking all others and holding only to him forevermore?

"I do," Alison beamed.

"A marriage ceremony represents one of life's greatest commitments. But it also is a declaration of love. I want to read to you what Paul wrote of love in a letter to the Corinthians. I believe it is a true model of love and it is a model of love I hope you pursue in your marriage:

'Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud.
Love is never haughty or selfish or rude.
Love does not demand it's own way.
Love is not irritable or touchy.
Love does not hold grudges and will hardly notice when others do it wrong.
Love is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out.
If you love someone, you will be loyal to them no matter what the costs. You will always believe in them, always expect the best in them, and will always stand your ground in defending them.'

"Alison," Jack began, "a few months ago, I made a promise to you. I promised you that I would take care of you whenever you needed me to.. Well I want you to know that I still have every intention of keeping that promise to you Because I love you more than anything else in this world, and I wouldn't trade that for anything."

Alison blinked her eyes when she felt herself starting to cry. She quickly regained her composure, knowing that it was her turn to say her vows, and she wanted this moment to be perfect. "Jack, It seems that somehow, some way, fate just kept throwing us together in situations until we could no longer fight it. Destiny brought us together, but it will be love that will keep us together. I promise you, Jack, that you and I will grow and build a life together, a life full of love and happiness. And one day when we have children" she winked, and he winked back "they'll learn from us what it means to truly love someone, and they'll know what it feels like to be blessed by love"

The reverend smiled. "Wedding rings are an outward and visible sign of an inward spiritual grace, signifying to all the uniting of this man and this woman in marriage."

Karen handed Alison the groom's ring.

"Alison, repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed.

"With this ring, I thee wed.." Alison placed the ring on Jack`s finger.

Jack turned to Chris and he handed him Alison's ring.

"With this ring, I thee wed. Jack said as he slipped the ring on her finger.

"Let us pray. Dear Heavenly Father, our hearts are filled with great happiness on Jack and Alison's wedding day, as they come before You pledging their hearts and lives to one another. Grant that they may ever be true and loving, living together in such a way as to never bring shame or heartbreak into their marriage. Temper their hearts with kindness and understanding, rid them of all pretense or jealousy. Help them to remember to be each other's sweetheart, helpmate, best friend and guide, so that together they may meet the cares and problems of life more bravely. And with the passage of time, may they find great contentment in the rich joy of senior companionship. May the home they are creating today truly be a place of love and harmony, where Your Spirit is always present. Bless this marriage we pray and walk beside Jack and Alison throughout all of their lives together. We ask these things in Jesus name; Amen."

"Amen," everyone repeated.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I See the church up ahead" Livvie screamed pointing out the car window to the huge church. "Hold on Alison, Hold on" Rafe whispered. "Hurry Rafe, hurry" Livvie cried. "Livvie don't get to excited" Rafe warned "It may hurt the baby". "I can`t help it, Rafe. I love him so much". "And I love her just as much if not more" Rafe yelled "We are here". They jumped out of the car.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Jack and Alison, I would ask that where ever you make your home in the future - whether it be a large and elegant home - or a small and graceful one - that you both pick one very special location for roses; so that on each anniversary of this truly wonderful occasion you both may take a rose to that spot both as a recommitment to your marriage - and a recommitment that THIS will be a marriage based upon love."

"In every marriage there are times where it is difficult to find the right words. It is easiest to hurt who we most love. It is easiest to be most hurt by who we most love. It might be difficult sometimes to say "I am sorry" or "I forgive you"; "I need you" or "I am hurting". If this should happen, if you simply can not find these words, Just remember this day & how much you loves each other. Jack and Alison, if there is anything you remember of this marriage ceremony, it is that it was love that brought you here today, it is only love which can make it a glorious union, and it is by love which your marriage shall endure."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Rafe ran to the door, with Livvie on his heels, And pulled open the door with all his might.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Jack and Alison, in so much as the two of you have agreed to live together in Matrimony, have promised your love for each other by these vows, the giving of these rings and the joining of your hands, I now declare you to be husband and wife. You may kiss your bride Mr. Ramsey"

Jack smiled and leaned in and gently kissed his wife.

"Alison" A voice howled from the back of the church. Everyone turned to see Rafe standing at the back of the church "Alison don`t marry him". Alison`s mouth fell open. She looked at Jack wide eyed. He looked back at her then at Rafe. "Jack please don`t marry Alison" Another voice yelled. Jack saw Livvie run in through the open doors "Please, I love you". Alison gasped, and Jack looked at his wife. "Alison" Rafe cried agian running up to the alter "Angel. Don`t marry him". "It`s to late" she whispered.
