It was the morning of Matthew and Rebecca's wedding and all the women were fussing over Rebecca at the clinic, helping her get dressed and fixing her hair.
"Hold still Rebecca, I just want to put this last flower in your hair."
"I am holding still Ma," Rebecca replied.
"Here, lets start putting your dress on," Michaela said.
"Oh it's simply beautiful," Colleen said admiring the dress.
"Yes, it was my dress;" Rebecca's mother spoke up.
"Right, there we go, your all ready Rebecca," Colleen announced.
"Not quite," Sarah said from behind.
"You have something old, your dress, and Colleen and I bought you these new white shoes," Sarah said holding out a brand new pair of white shoes.
"Oh thank you both," Rebecca exclaimed with a smile.
"Something borrowed," Michaela handed her a pearl bracelet.
"And something blue," Rebecca's mother handed her a large bouquet of blue flowers.
"Well then, I'm ready, let's go," Rebecca said smiling.
***********
The wedding was taking place in the meadow, where Michaela and Sully got married. There were flowers everywhere you looked and a small string band hired from Denver in the corner playing a soft tune as Byron and Katie strolled down the aisle, Byron was carrying the ring on a small lace pillow while Katie sprinkled flowers on the ground ready for the bride to walk on. When they reached the front Katie moved slightly to the left while Byron moved slightly to the right towards Matthew.
Brian and Sarah walked arm in arm down the aisle, Sarah was a bridesmaid and Brian was the best man. When they reached the front they each went their separate ways.
Next down the aisle were Andrew and Colleen, Colleen was the Maid of honour and Matthew wished to have Andrew by his side also.
Then all of a sudden the wedding processional began and everyone stood up and turned around to see Rebecca walking down the aisle accompanied by her father.
Both Michaela and Rebecca's mother had tears in their eyes.
When they reached the Reverend, Rebecca's father placed her hand in Matthew's and stood back as the music came to a stop.
The Reverend began with the ceremony, "Dearly beloved, we have come together in the presence of God to witness and bless the joining together of Rebecca Clarkson and Matthew Cooper in Holy Matrimony. The union of husband and wife in heart, body, and mind is intended by God for their mutual joy; for the help and comfort given one another in prosperity and adversity. Who gives this woman to be married to this man?"
"I do," Rebecca's father spoke up. He then took his seat by his wife.
"Do you Matthew take Rebecca to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish as long as you both shall live?"
Matthew replied smiling towards Rebecca, "I do."
"And do you Rebecca take Matthew to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," Rebecca said.
The Reverend began, "I now pronounce you man and wife, you may now kiss the bride."
Matthew turned to lift Rebecca's veil over her head both smiling until their lips met.
The crowd all stood up cheering for the newly weds as Matthew and Rebecca walked down the aisle followed by Colleen and Andrew then Brian and Sarah.
At the reception, couples were dancing on the dance floor and many were helping themselves to the food that Grace had prepared.
Matthew and Rebecca were dancing and talking about their wedding.
"So, your stuck with me forever now," Matthew said teasingly.
Rebecca let out a giggle and said, "I know, isn't it great."
Colleen and Andrew were dancing close by talking about their wedding.
"Oh I hope our weddin' will be just like this," Colleen said.
"It will be," Andrew said smiling, "speaking of which when do you want to get married?"
"Oh I haven't really thought about that." Colleen paused for a moment while she thought about it. "How about next spring? Winter is only around the corner and I would like a weddin' outside so spring would be perfect, it would also give us enough time to build a house."
"Spring it is then," Andrew said as he smiled at his love.
Michaela and Sully were enjoying a dance when Matthew and Rebecca came over.
"May we cut in?" Matthew asked.
"Certainly," Michaela said as she took Matthew's hand and Rebecca took Sully's.
"I'm so proud of you Matthew and I know Charlotte is too," Michaela told her eldest son.
"Thanks Ma," Matthew said
"Ok, ok, can I have everyone's attention please; it's time for the newlyweds to be making tracks," Jake announced.
The crowd burst in to cheers as Matthew and Rebecca walked over to their carriage that was ready to take them to their homestead. They were going to spend their honeymoon in Denver but there wasn't a train until tomorrow.
Matthew helped his wife up in to the wagon and then climbed up himself and with a swift tap of the reigns they were off.
The crowd were whistling and cheering for the newlywed couple as they left.
Once they were out of sight the remaining town's folk carried on with the celebration.
************
Matthew stepped down from the wagon then helped Rebecca down. They walked up the porch steps and unexpectedly; Matthew lifted Rebecca up in to his arms and carried her across the threshold. Once they were inside he placed a chaste kiss on to her lips. Matthew then put her feet to the ground.
Matthew had built a large house where the old homestead once stood. It had a spacious kitchen and dining area, with a separate lounge area. Upstairs there were 3 large bedrooms each with there own fireplace.
"Would you like a drink?" Matthew asked a little nervous.
"No thank you," Rebecca replied.
There was a moment of silence as both contemplated what was going to happen pretty soon.
Matthew turned to Rebecca and said, "I love you."
"I love you too," Rebecca replied.
"Would you.would you like to go upstairs?" Matthew asked cautiously being the gentleman he is.
Rebecca hesitated and let out a sheepish "yes."
He took her hand and led her up the stairs. They reached their bedroom and walked in. Matthew lifted her up again and she let out a giggle feeling a little more relaxed. He walked over to their bed and placed her down while he kissed her. Their kiss deepened as Matthew sat on the bed with her. Rebecca started to remove Matthew's jacket, never leaving each other's lips. Matthew then reached behind her and began to unbutton her dress, when he unfastened the last button she stood up and let it drop to her ankle's, she was now only wearing her corset and petticoat. Rebecca resumed the task of unbuttoning Matthew's shirt while he removed her corset. Soon all their clothes were shed. They were now both laid beside each other as Matthew looked in to her eyes seeking the approval to continue when he found it he said "I love you."
Rebecca replied, "I love you too, so much and I want this to happen as much as you do."
Matthew gave here a reassuring smile and leaned over to kiss his beautiful new wife....(I think you now what happens next, I don't need to go into detail).
