Chapter One: The Big Day
*****
Time really does fly...half a month passed by in a blink of an eye. The Ketchum residence was a disaster area. Well what do you expect, with four best men running around trying to 'best' each other? [If you haven't guessed by now Ash and Misty are getting married...sheesh where have you been?] Now that the big debate between Brock, Tracy, Richie, and Gary about who was going to be Ash's best man was settled. They were arguing about who was going to go first in speeches and who was standing where in the ceremony.
Ash to say the least was a nervous wreck and this was not helping any. He took one look at the four men who looked like they were going to kill each other. Then he looked at his only friend in the room who wasn't fighting. "Pikachu!"
"Pi?" (Yes?)
"Thunderbolt - them and make it quick, I'm getting a headache."
The little yellow mouse like creature looked at his friend in sympathy as it charged its cheeks. "Pika...CHUUUUU!!!!!!!" it cried as it let fly one massive thunderbolt that split into four smaller thunderbolts.
"ZAP...BOOM!"
All four were on the ground charred and slightly smoking.
All four jumped up and yelled, "HEY!!!! What was that for??"
"Well you wouldn't listen to reason and nothing else seemed like it would work...so...I had Pikachu do what would work."
"Pika! pikachu!" (Yeah! Grow up!) Sparky, Richie's Pikachu added in his two cents.
Richie glared at his Pokemon.
Sparky paid no attention to him and continued its conversation with Ash's Pikachu.
"I thought we settled this already." Ash's headache wasn't getting any better even though they had stopped bickering.
The cumulative response was, "Uhhh...we did?"
"You guys are as dense as a Psyduck!" Then under his breath he muttered "And you say I 'm dense..."
"Did you just say something?!" All of them glared at him.
"Heh...heh...heh..." Ash scratched the back of his head and sweat dropped.
Just then Nurse Joy came down the stairs to get a drink of water. She noted the four men surrounding Ash and figured out what was going on. * I may not be able to do anything about the other three but I can take care of at least one. * "Oh Brock!" She waked up behind him and grabbed his ear.
* Uh oh! I don't like that tone of voice. * The next thing he knew was that he was getting the lecture of his life and his ear really hurt.
Tracy, Gary, and Richie watched in amazement as Nurse Joy lectured her fiancée. She would also periodically look at them as if to say, 'Your next!'
Ash took this opportunity to stand up and tower over the other three. [Heck he's six feet tall] They looked up at him and realized that they were behaving like little kids instead of helping him like they were supposed to. "If you remember back to when all four of you got here we discussed the whole who goes where and speaks when thing. We decided on going by height for the ceremony. As far as the speeches are concerned I remember locking you four in a room. You stayed there until all four of you agreed on the best order to give the speeches in based on content."
Gary was the first to speak, "Yes, we did decide on the order but we forgot." The two that were left looked sheepishly at their feet.
*****
Brock seemed to shrink with every word Nurse Joy said. She finally finished telling him how childish he was behaving. She looked over in Ash's direction and noticed that the other three looked ashamed of themselves. * Good, I don't have to drag Mrs. Sasha Oak down here to help deal with the rest of them like I thought I would. * She dragged Brock back to the group and waited with him while Ash fished the list out of his pocket.
Ash looked at the bottom of the list and read off the order of the speeches, "Gary, Brock, Tracy, Richie." He then gave Nurse Joy a copy of the list since she was the M.C. for the reception. She smiled at him and gave Brock a 'you better behave or else' look as she went back what she was going to do before she got sidetracked.
All five men decided to get dressed and meet back at Ash's room when they were finished.
*****
Ash sat on his bed thinking about how different things would be after the wedding. * I guess they won't be too different than the last year or so...except that we will both be in the same room at night. * They had decided to wait until that night to 'do' anything of 'that' nature. He brightened when he remembered the surprise he was planning on giving her after the reception. [For all of you people out there with minds perpetually in the toilet and sewer it's not that kind of surprise!] It was just about time for all four best men to come to his room. He hurriedly put on most of his tux, all he needed to do was tie his tie and put on his cummerbund and coat. Those last few things could wait he looked at Pikachu and helped him get dressed while he waited...
*****
Misty's room was a mess 'thank God' her sisters were staying at the Oak residence. They came over early that morning and haven't left her alone for a second since they got there. She felt smothered and was about ready to scream when Sasha came in pushed her sisters out told them to go get ready, closing the door in their faces. "Thank you so much Mrs. Oak"
"Misty please call me mom considering your marrying my son in a few hours." She helped Misty zip up the back of the seemingly simple gown. It didn't look too fancy from far away but up close one could see little accents that distinguished it from an ordinary white dress. She looked at herself in the mirror and didn't recognize herself.
Sasha laughed, "Ash is going to faint when he sees you. You look beautiful but we still need to do something with your hair."
Misty regained her senses as Sasha steered her to the chair in front of the vanity. She tried several different hairstyles and finally ended up French braiding it then pinning the braid up. After that she took some small white roses from her former garden and wove them into the braid. "There, it's perfect! Now for the veil." She took the veil and placed it on Misty's head.
Misty couldn't believe her eyes, now she really couldn't recognize herself. "How can I ever thank you?"
"Well...just promise to take care of Ash and make sure he changes his you-know-what everyday." She laughed at the last part, "The other part of my payment for helping you will come in a half an hour when Ash sees my handy work."
Both of them started to laugh when Nurse Joy returned with her cup of water. She looked at Misty and smiled. "Let me guess your both imagining Ash's reaction to Misty when he finally sees her."
"Yep" both of them said at the same time.
"Well I don't think anyone will be disappointed. I just finished helping him take care of a little 'mess' downstairs." She did not look pleased about the 'mess'.
Misty and Sasha stopped laughing and looked concerned, "What kind of 'mess'?"
"All four 'best men' were acting very childish." she sighed. "I am particularly disappointed with the behavior of one of them."
Misty and Sasha exchanged smirks, of course the one she was talking about was Brock.
Sasha put her hand on Joy's shoulder "Don't worry about him too much he'll grow out of it. Oh my...we only have a half an hour to get ready. I'll be right back Misty."
Sasha and Joy left Misty with her thoughts as they rushed out to get ready.
*****
Ash and his four 'best' men were waiting in front of the aisle. He took deep breath to calm his nerves down. * It seems like not too long ago that I was here as support for Professor Oak...well at least she didn't want a large wedding. *
The wedding was a very small and private affair only close friends and family invited. His mom, Bill, Jesse, James, Persian, Togepi, Psyduck, a few others both he and Misty had met on their journey and May Oak sitting by herself fuming. He took note of that and was just about to say something to Brock when the beginning strains of the wedding march was heard...
The moment her sisters, Nurse Joy, and some little girl throwing flower petals that he didn't recognize appeared he lost his train of thought. He waited a while and then he saw her on Professor Oak's arm. * Wow! Is that really her? He then realized he was drooling and his mouth was hanging open. * He was tempted to run up to her and carry her away but Brock put a hand on his shoulder. Snap however was there to immortalize the moment on film...lucky him.
Sasha couldn't help giggling at her son's reaction. * Yes! Just the reaction I was going for...I really shouldn't feel this way but that look is priceless. My baby's getting married...sigh *
*****
The wedding went off with out any major problems. Though when the priest asked if anyone objected to the joining of Ash and Misty Professor Oak glared at his granddaughter. Thankfully she headed her grandfather's unspoken warning and kept her mouth shut.
As they were walking down the isle to the entrance to the church arm-in-arm they both had the same thought running through their heads. * I can't believe were married...*
*****
Everyone started to yell, "Congratulations!"
Friends and family members pelted them confetti as they made their way to the field where the reception was to be held. Everyone released their Pokemon and started to settle down at their tables. Ash and Misty were busy removing confetti from each other. Much to the relief of everyone Misty's Gyrados and Sasha's Wigglytuff were left at Professor Oak's lab.
Joy went up to the podium and cleared her throat, "Is everyone settled in at their tables?" She scanned the room and continued, "Hi! Everyone, I will be your M.C. for this reception. We will start serving dinner and shortly after the best men will give their speeches."
Everyone and their Pokemon ate and socialized amongst themselves when James started hitting his glass with the fork chanting, "Speech, speech, speech." This got all of the other guests to join in so Joy went back to the podium.
"Okay, the first..." she tried to continue but no one was paying attention to her. "Ahem...THE FIRST SPEECH WILL BE GIVEN BY GARY OAK! Thank you." She straightened out her dress and went back to her seat in between the podium and Brock.
Gary got up and smirked at Ash while he walked to the podium.
Ash looked quizzically at his one time rival turned friend and 'nephew'. *Uh oh...do I really want to hear what he will say about me? Not really but Misty would never forgive me if I vanished on her. On second thought how bad can it be...*
*****
Gary's speech was based more before his journey. He was just finishing it up and to everyone's surprise he didn't really tease or put Ash down in anyway...yet.
"...Well what else can I say about Ashy Boy? Aren't I supposed to rib him a little in this speech?" He looked around the room for an answer but no one answered him so he went on, "It sure took them long enough to realize they liked each other and I'm glad that I wasn't the tallest because I don't think I could have held him back the way Brock did while Misty was walking down the isle. I thought he would grab Misty and run out the door...Oh well I guess the last thing for me to say is that I wish Ash and Misty luck on their marriage."
He left the podium as Joy stood back up. "Thank You Gary the next speech will be given by Brock."
When Gary reached the part about Brock having to hold him back Ash started to blush. *Okay...I take that back I don't think that Brock will embarrass me as much. *
*****
Brock's speech was shorter and had to do with the things that happened during their journey, " What can I say about Ash? Well he was quite dense when I first met him. Though I have to admit the thing that impressed me most about him was his determination to succeed. Even when he wasn't winning he didn't give up...I am glad that you both now have each other. I am honored to call both Ash and Misty my friends and I wish them the best of luck."
He went back to his seat as Joy announced the next speaker, "Thank you Brock. Now it's Tracy's turn."
*Whew that wasn't bad at all now for Tracy. *
*****
Tracy focused more on the times he spent with the two of them, "...Ash has grown a lot since I first met him but the thing that has grown the most is his heart. The thing is that it hasn't stopped growing and will continue to grow, thankfully the rest of him has stopped growing. He cares for his friends, family, and Pokemon and will do anything to help them out. Misty is very lucky because she holds half of that heart...I wish you the best.
Everyone applauded as he made his way back to his seat. James couldn't resist and yelled out, "That was so BEAUTIFUL." He then started bawling and continued to do so until Jesse whacked his head and told him to cut it out.
Joy came back up, "That was very touching Tracy the last speech will be given by Richie."
Ash was too moved by most of Tracy's speech to complain about the comments made about how much he has grown.
*****
Richie spoke more about recent events, "I don't know about you but I am very happy for Ash and Misty. They both admitted their feelings for one another and have made it through some tough situations together...I say that all of us are lucky to know both of these remarkable people. So now I would like to propose a toast to Ash and Misty. May your love for each other continue to grow as time goes on and you always have each other to make it trough those tough times...Banzai!"
Everyone lifted their glasses and yelled, "Banzai!" several times with him as they drank. Even the Pokemon joined in with their masters only they had water.
James then started to hit his glass again only this time he chanted, "Kiss, kiss, kiss..." Everyone else joined in.
Ash and Misty started to blush. Ash leaned over gazed into Misty's eyes and gave her an innocent tender kiss.
Misty was shocked and didn't move, * Wow! That was nice and really sweet...maybe I should up the stakes a little...*
The guests weren't satisfied with that so they chanted some more.
This time Misty looked into Ash's eyes, she gave him a long passionate kiss that left both of them gasping for air.
The guests started to whistle and cheer, that was enough to satisfy them.
After Richie went back to his seat, Joy went up to the podium and announced that it was time to throw the bouquet and garter.
All of the single women and female Pokemon gathered together for the bouquet as Misty threw it over her shoulder. They all jumped and caused a giant dust cloud. When the dust had settled May was pouting, she didn't catch it. Misty's sisters had, Violet had her hand on the bottom, Lilly had one hand in the middle, and Daisy had one hand on the top. They got up and decided that they would share it instead of fighting over it, which surprised Misty.
When it was time for the garter the men and Pokemon gathered together as Ash lifted Misty's dress to get it. He threw it into the group and another huge dust cloud ensued. This time when the dust cloud settled the only thing heard was a..."Psy?"
There stood Psyduck with the garter on his head. The other men and Pokemon looked at Psyduck who was clueless as ever and yelled, "Get that duck!"
"Psyiiiiiiii yi yiiii!" it yelled as it ran away from its pursuers only to trip and fall on his face at the feet of Snorlax. The garter fell off of Psyduck's head and Snorlax looked down at the frilly piece of lace. It picked it up and ate it before anyone could stop it. It then went to sleep.
*****
Joy announced that Ash and Misty were going to cut the cake and then a live band would play. Everyone watched as they carefully cut two pieces. Ash gently fed Misty and Misty gently fed Ash a bite.
Everyone made disappointed noises because they thought that she wouldn't smash the rest in his face...they were wrong.
She waited a while and then smashed the plate in his face. Earning a laugh from everyone watching, Snap got a few good shots of that as he maneuvered around the group.
Ash and Misty started to dance and everyone else followed suit for a while. They continued to dance into the night though at nine o'clock Joy announced that there would be a fireworks show.
They brought out blankets and sat under the stars watching the fireworks light up the sky.
*****
The show lasted about an hour so at ten o'clock everyone gathered together to wish the newlywed couple luck. The walked them to Ash's house.
*****
To be continued...
Sorry for the lame ending but I have a major case of writer's block. That's why it took so long for this chapter to come out. I just want to make one thing clear: This is not a sequel to Jaelle and Orla's fic! I was given permission to write this as long as it is not a sequel it is however based on their fic. That's why there will be quite a few tense changes though I won't copy sections of the base fic I will make references to it. Sorry but that's the way it has to be. As the story progresses I hope to make less references to the base story and some how work in the new Pokemon from Jhoto (not quite sure how to do that yet).
I know that this chapter was supposed to have more humor and not so much fluff but things don't work out the way I had planned. Sorry about the best men's speeches I wasn't about to write out four whole speeches. Besides that would take forever to read. I won't make any promises for next chapter and I really don't know when I will get to it so please be patient. There are so many ideas floating around in my brain that I don't know which one to do. The next chapter will be their honeymoon vacation. Before you get flustered about that and start asking if it will be a lemon the answer to that is: NO! I don't write lemons. The rating will stay the same.
I still don't know what to call this story. I also have a massive case of writers block so if you could email me where you want Ash and Misty to go for their vacation or what you want to happen next I would be grateful.
P.S. I edited this on April 18, 2001. There were a few errors I noticed when after reading it like Jigglypuff evolved into Wigglytuff in the base fic and a few grammatical things. I also added a little after the last speech.
Well that's it for now, please read and review.

All of the single women and female Pokemon gathered together for the bouquet as Misty threw it over her shoulder. They all jumped and caused a giant dust cloud. When the dust had settled May was pouting, she didn't catch it. Misty's sisters had, Violet had her hand on the bottom, Lilly had one hand in the middle, and Daisy had one hand on the top. They got up and decided that they would share it instead of fighting over it, which surprised Misty.
When it was time for the garter the men and Pokemon gathered together as Ash lifted Misty's dress to get it. He threw it into the group and another huge dust cloud ensued. This time when the dust cloud settled the only thing heard was a..."Psy?"
There stood Psyduck with the garter on his head. The other men and Pokemon looked at Psyduck who was clueless as ever and yelled, "Get that duck!"
"Psyiiiiiiii yi yiiii!" it yelled as it ran away from its pursuers only to trip and fall on his face at the feet of Snorlax. The garter fell off of Psyduck's head and Snorlax looked down at the frilly piece of lace. It picked it up and ate it before anyone could stop it. It then went to sleep.

Joy announced that Ash and Misty were going to cut the cake and then a live band would play. Everyone watched as they carefully cut two pieces. Ash gently fed Misty and Misty gently fed Ash a bite.
Everyone made disappointed noises because they thought that she wouldn't smash the rest in his face...they were wrong.
She waited a while and then smashed the plate in his face. Earning a laugh from everyone watching, Snap got a few good shots of that as he maneuvered around the group.
Ash and Misty started to dance and everyone else followed suit for a while. They continued to dance into the night though at nine o'clock Joy announced that there would be a fireworks show.
They brought out blankets and sat under the stars watching the fireworks light up the sky.
*****
The show lasted about an hour so at ten o'clock everyone gathered together to wish the newlywed couple luck. The walked them to Ash's house.

To be continued...
Sorry for the lame ending but I have a major case of writer's block. That's why it took so long for this chapter to come out. I just want to make one thing clear: This is not a sequel to Jaelle and Orla's fic! I was given permission to write this as long as it is not a sequel it is however based on their fic. That's why there will be quite a few tense changes though I won't copy sections of the base fic I will make references to it. Sorry but that's the way it has to be. As the story progresses I hope to make less references to the base story and some how work in the new Pokemon from Jhoto (not quite sure how to do that yet).
I know that this chapter was supposed to have more humor and not so much fluff but things don't work out the way I had planned. Sorry about the best men's speeches I wasn't about to write out four whole speeches. Besides that would take forever to read. I won't make any promises for next chapter and I really don't know when I will get to it so please be patient. There are so many ideas floating around in my brain that I don't know which one to do. The next chapter will be their honeymoon vacation. Before you get flustered about that and start asking if it will be a lemon the answer to that is: NO! I don't write lemons. The rating will stay the same.
I still don't know what to call this story. I also have a massive case of writers block so if you could email me where you want Ash and Misty to go for their vacation or what you want to happen next I would be grateful.
P.S. I edited this on April 18, 2001. There were a few errors I noticed when after reading it like Jigglypuff evolved into Wigglytuff in the base fic and a few grammatical things. I also added a little after the last speech.
Well that's it for now, please read and review.
