Fifteen minutes later, Ty and Alex met up with Kim and Bobby at the spot the race was to be held. The race was going to be four laps around the park with the finish line being at a large fountain near the entrance. Once the race had commenced, Kim stayed relatively close to Bobby, but paced herself through the entire first portion of the race. When they hit the final few laps, she drew even with him and began to draw away. When she arrived back at the fountain, she went to cool off as she waited for Bobby to catch up. When he finally caught up with her he said, "How on earth did you do that?" referring to her ease at beating him.

"You ran the race backwards." she replied a she took a sip of water from the bottle she'd brought with her.

"You're supposed to conserve speed in distance races for when its needed." she continued.

"Where'd you learn that one?" Bobby asked as he sat down on the edge of the fountain.

"I ran track in high school." She replied as she took her hair out of the ponytail it had been in.

The four headed back to Kim's apartment to talk and hang out for a bit before work. Kim sat with Ty and Alex in the living room while Bobby took a shower.

"Have you and Bobby set a date for the wedding yet?" Alex asked.

"Yeah, we agreed to get married one month from today." Kim replied smiling.

"Have you decided on where you're going on your honeymoon yet?" Ty asked.

"Yep, we agreed on the Bahamas."

"What island?" Alex asked excitedly.

"Paradise Island." Kim replied.

"Isn't that where the big hotel resort and casino is?" Alex asked, unable to remember the name of the place she was describing.

"Yeah, Atlantis is on Paradise Island. I've been seeing stuff on TV for it so I'm thinking about trying to get reservations there, just got to check on what the rates there are." Kim said.

"Awesome. You know of course when you get back everyone will want details." Alex said laughing.

"I know. I'm half tempted to take a video camera and record the places we go so everyone can watch it and see what we saw down there." Kim replied laughing.

"That's not a bad idea." Ty replied to the two women.

Several minutes later Bobby returned and rejoined the group in the living room. Everyone sat around talking until it was time for everyone except Kim to head out to work. Bobby gave Kim a farewell kiss before he left with Alex and Ty, and said he'd call later to see if she and Joey wanted to meet up for dinner. After everyone had left, Kim went in and took a shower and headed down to her mothers to pick up Joey.

::One-Month Later::

Finally the day had come when she and Bobby would finally be married. Kim had woke up early, partially due to pre-wedding jitters and began to make sure she had everything ready for the wedding itself and finished up the rest of the packing she had to do for the honeymoon afterwards. An hour and a half-later Alex knocked on Kim's door excited to see two of her best friends get married. Kim heard the knock at her door as she went in to wake up her son so she could take him down to her mothers so he didn't have to run all over town with her before the wedding. As soon as Joey was up, Kim ran to the door and let Alex in.

"Sorry it took so long to let you in, Joey didn't want to get out of bed." Kim said as she and Alex sat down in the living room.

"It's ok. Are you ready for the 'big day'?" Alex asked grinning.

"I thought I was, but when I woke up this morning I realized I'm more nervous now than I was when I married Jimmy." she said laughing a bit.

"Need any help getting the remainder of your stuff together?" Alex asked.

"Nope, I think I've got everything lined out." she replied.

Just then Joey appeared in the hallway.

"Hey Joey, you excited about today?" Alex asked.

"Yeah," the little boy replied some what sleepily.

"Let's get going that way he can go back to sleep at mom's." Kim said as she stood up.

As the three headed to her mother's apartment, Kim's mother was waiting on them. As Joey went back to bed, Kim got her dress from her mother's closet and gave her mother a hug and said, "I'll see the two of you in about four hours at the church."

Kim and Alex left the apartment carrying the dress and the accessories to go along with it and took a cab to the church so they could drop off the dress. After getting things ready, Kim and Alex headed off to pick up Faith and Kim's sister so they could go out to eat and get their hair done. Everyone sat around talking as Kim got her hair done, and about two hours later everyone's hair was done and they were ready to go.

As the group arrived back at the church, it was time to start getting ready. An hour before Kim was to be married, there was a knock at the door to the room the women were using to get ready. Alex went to the door and let Kim's mother in who was carrying a beautiful arrangement of flowers.

"I wonder who those are from?" Alex said winking to Kim as she came in from one of the adjacent rooms after hearing the knock.

Kim finished putting in a pair of earrings and removed the card from the arrangement and read the words written to herself. She felt tears stinging the corners of her eyes as she closed the card, just as Alex came over.

Alex saw the tears starting to form in Kim's eyes and was worried when she saw Kim put the card down and go check her makeup. Alex picked up the card from the table and read the words written.

You are the one who makes me whole.

You've captured my heart and touched my soul.

For you are the one that stepped out of my dreams.

Gave me New Hope, showed me what love means.

For you alone are my reason to live.

For the compassion you show and care that you give.

You came into my life and made me complete.

Each time I see you my heart skips a beat.

For you define beauty in both body and mind.

Your soft gentle face, more beauty I'll ever find.

For you are the one God sent from above.

The angel I needed for whom I do love.

As Alex read the words, she too began to feel tears forming. When Kim returned, she saw Alex with the card and went over and said, "He's definitely got a way with words."

"Oh yeah," Alex replied as she placed the card back in the arrangement.

Kim sat in a chair going over the vows she had written especially for this day, it would be only a short matter of time before she repeated them to Bobby before her friends and family as butterflies began to form in her stomach from nervousness.

As Bobby and the rest of the guys got ready, he anxiously looked at his watch a dozen times. It seemed as if hours were days and things were going by so slow, it would almost drive a person to insanity. He made a final run through of the vows he had written for Kim, to celebrate their true feelings for each other on the one-day that would change their lives forever. Then finally it was time for the moment everyone had been waiting for. He heard the music playing in the sanctuary below as their friends, family and colleagues took their seats. As Bobby stood before the altar, he looked past all the happy faces of those seated and kept his eyes trained on the doors Kim would come through. The music helped relax him a bit, but still inside he couldn't wait to see what she looked like. He knew she would look beautiful, she always did regardless of what she had on.

He snapped back to reality when he heard the music change and everyone turned to look at the doors at the back of the church. He had missed seeing Alex, Faith and Kim's sister take their places opposite from where he stood. One person was missing from the group and it was a matter of time before she took her place amongst family and friends to become his wife. And then the doors opened at the back of the church.

Bobby stood looking through the doors as Kim made her way in. Her hair was swept up in curls and wore the most amazing dress he'd ever seen. She really did look like an angel at that moment. As she made her way towards him, she saw the look of pure joy cross his face, knowing she had found the perfect dress and that he liked it.

The ceremony began and before they knew it, it was time to recite the vows they had written for each other. As they stood facing each other, holding each other's hands, Bobby began to recite the vows he had written for Kim.

"Kim, you are my greatest love and my last love. Until I met you I didn't give true love much thought, but since you came into my life, I struggle desperately to find the words to tell you how much I love you-how I adore you. It is difficult for me to verbalize my feelings for you, because mere words can't begin to express my deep love. I thank God for you Kim, and I pledge myself to you now, to be your ever-faithful husband. I give you my mind, my body and my heart and I promise to love you and cherish you for as long as we both shall live." he said as he looked upon her smiling face, seeing tears forming in her eyes at the words he had just said.

Then it was Kim's turn to recite the vows she had written for Bobby.

"Bobby, since we have been together, you have provided me with strength, security, confidence, honesty, love & plenty of much needed guidance. Where there has been cold, you have brought warmth; where my life was dark, you have brought light. In my darkest trouble, in my coldest silence; I looked for you and you were there. You may not realize it but you have helped me and saved me in so many ways and I love you for that. I am honored that you will have me as your wife and I am proud to have you as my husband. I believe that we were meant to be from the start & I will always love you with all my heart as long as we both shall live." she said in return as she looked into the depths of his brown eyes.

They exchanged rings and in what seemed like a matter of minutes, she and Bobby were officially married. When they exchanged their first kiss as husband and wife, the entire church erupted into applause. Once the ceremony was over the two newlyweds mingled with the guests for a while before heading into the basement of the church for the reception.

Bobby was talking to some of his friends and family and Kim was talking to her sister when Jimmy came over to her.

"What can I say, other than how beautiful you look." he said as he gave her a hug.

"Thank you." Kim replied smiling.

"Honestly, I think Bobby was in shock when he saw you." Jimmy said as he glanced in Bobby's direction.

"I think your right, because I was under the same impression." she replied giggling.

Just then, Bobby returned to Kim's side and said, "What are you two up to?"

"Oh, just talking about how close you came to hitting the floor when I came in." Kim said laughing.

"I didn't get ready to hit the floor." Bobby said in self-defense.

"Oh yes you did." Jimmy chimed in; "You should have seen the look on your face when she walked down the aisle. It was a Kodak moment."

Jimmy headed downstairs with several of the guys from the station as Bobby and Kim stood just inside the sanctuary.

"Well, what do you think of the dress?" Kim asked.

"It's breath taking." He replied as he leaned in and kissed her again before they joined everyone below for the reception.

Everyone helped themselves to the catered food as friends and family of both Kim and Bobby gave short words of encouragement and congratulations. With an occasional horror story or two popping up from family members and friends which made both of them blush. After several hours of dancing and celebration, it was time for them to leave to get ready to go on their honeymoon. The two got into Bobby's car and headed back to Kim's apartment to get her bags for the trip to the Bahamas.

After changing into a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, she began to take her luggage out to his car. After getting everything loaded, she checked her purse to make sure she had everything she needed to get through customs and got the information on the hotel room and made sure everything was shut off. In no time, they were headed back to Bobby's apartment to get his stuff and to let him change clothes. Bobby's mother and sisters were already at his apartment when they arrived.

While he changed, Kim sat and talked to his mother and sister's. After getting his stuff loaded in the trunk, one of his sisters went with them so she could bring his car back from the airport after they had left. Kim's mother, Joey, Jimmy, Bobby's mother and sisters all met them at the airport to see them off. After getting everything unloaded from the trunk, they checked in and got their luggage taken care of and got their plane tickets for their flight.

Everyone stood and talked until it was time for them to board their flight, when it was time for them to leave everyone wished them a safe trip and to have fun. As they headed towards the checkpoint to head to the gate to board the plane Joey shouted, "Don't forget to bring back souvenirs!"

"Don't worry. We will." Kim replied as she bent down and gave her son a hug and a kiss goodbye and walked with Bobby through the checkpoint and headed towards the boarding gate.
