CHAPTER 15 Unity Candle
"Kira hold still!" Leila said, chuckling. It was finally the day. The day Trent and Kira would become husband and wife. The day everyone had waited for, especially the guests of honor. Kira was having the usual nerves that were messing up Leila's attempts to apply her make-up.
"I can't help it. I'm nervous and excited all at once. I never get this like this when I go on stage," Kira said. Leila laughed as she applied blush.
"From what I hear, it's natural. Am I right ladies?" Leila said as she looked behind her to Kim and Tori. They were all ready and in their soft pink, almost pastel, colored bridesmaids dresses. They were making sure everything with Kira's dress was okay before they helped her put it on.
"We didn't get married THAT long ago Kira, do you remember how nervous WE were?" Tori asked.
"Actually the most I remember concerning nervousness is seeing Dustin break down laughing at how nervous Tommy and Blake were," Kira said. The girls broke down laughing themselves. Leila finished the make-up.
"All done. You're up Kim," Leila said as she moved out of the way. Leila stood next to Tori as they watched Kira breathe in and out slowly while Kim gently put her hair up.
"You look so beautiful Kira," Kim said after she finished. Kira did all she could to hold back her tears so she wouldn't mess up her make-up.
"Come on, save the tears for when you're in your dress," Tori said. All the girls chuckled as Kira stood up and they carefully helped her get into her dress. Meanwhile, Trent breathed a nervous sigh as he fumbled with his hands. He was sitting in his dressing room with the door open. No one was around until he heard a knock at the door. He smiled when he saw Conner, Ethan, Devin, and Hayley.
"How you holding up, man?" Ethan asked.
"I'm not sure how much longer I can stand it," Trent said honestly. The others laughed.
"You'll be all right," Devin said. Conner put out his hand and Trent shook it, smiling at his friend. It had taken the two a long time to form a serious friendship after the white ranger spell broke. They embraced in a friendly, brotherly hug.
"You break her heart, I'll kill you when she's finished with you," Conner said seriously. Trent laughed.
"Come on, guys. Let's go find some seats," Hayley said, ushering the former red, blue, and Triassic dino rangers out. She gave Trent a quick hug and kiss on the cheek before following the guys out. Trent sighed again.
"Knock, know groom boy," said a familiar voice. Trent looked up and smirked at his groomsmen. Hunter, Blake, and Tommy all filed in and smiled at their friend.
"Ready to have your knot tied on the ranger marriage rope?" Tommy asked. Trent laughed.
"More than ready," Trent declared.
"That just leaves....," Blake started.
"Don't say it," Hunter said warningly. All the guys laughed and filed out into the church. The girls were finally finishing every little detail in getting Kira ready.
"Can I see?" Kira asked nervously. The girls smiled and moved out of the way so Kira could have a look into the full length mirror. She gasped. Normally, she did not pay attention to how she looked but for once in her life, she didn't mind feeling and looking like a princess. There was a knock at the door and one of the wedding planners popped her head in.
"It's time ladies," she said. Kira breathed in a few times to calm herself down. Leila, Tori, and Kim led her out so they could get to the right door. Trent carefully counted backwards to calm himself down. He felt a hand clasp on his shoulder and he looked up to see his dad smiling at him.
"Calm down son. You and Kira both deserve to enjoy this day," Anton said. Trent smiled and embraced his dad before Anton took his seat in the front row. Trent and all the guys stood at attention when they heard the doors opened. Kim walked down the aisle first, winking at Tommy and giving Trent a comforting smile. Next came Tori, who gave her husband a smirk and Trent a full smile of congratulations. Leila was the last of the bridesmaid. Hunter was yet again in awe at how beautiful she looked. Leila sent him a loving glance and then a different kind of loving glance to her brother. Then, it started. The music that would reveal his bride to him. The entire church stood up and watched as the doors in the back flew open and Kira began to walk down the aisle with her father leading her. Trent gasped. He had never seen her so beautiful before. It was like an angel walking to him.
The moments seemed to go by fast. Soon, the preacher was performing the ceremony, but most of the words were a blur to the couple as they looked deep into each other. They paid enough attention to exchange the sacred vows.
"I do," Kira said after she was asked to take Trent as her husband.
"I do," Trent said after he was asked to take Kira as his wife.
"I know pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride," the preacher said. Kira and Trent did just that, with the church erupting in congratulatory applause. When they finished, the preacher handed them each a small candle that was already lit. Kira and Trent may not have been regular church going kids, but they held strongly to their belief. One thing that believed in was the symbol of the unity candle. They each lit the one beautifully decorated candle with each of their little ones, symbolizing the combining of two souls into one.
The preacher ushered for them to turn to the crowd once the candle had been lit.
"I present to you for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Trent Fernandez," the preacher declared. Hollering over anyone else were the bride and grooms former teammates, predecessors, and close associates, aka Hayley and Anton. They flew down the aisle and out of the church, for the first time as husband and wife. Later at the reception, everyone was enjoying the party. There was nothing but love and friendship to enjoy.
"Okay, okay, it's time for the former mentor to give his 'little' speech," Tommy said.
"Keep it shorter than your science lecture, eh Dr. O?" Devin asked. The others laughed and Tommy joined them. He turned back to Kira and Trent.
"I completely understand your beliefs in the unity candle. Above anything, it represents your unity now as husband and wife. But it's also symbolic of the unity we all have as friends and former rangers. We have nothing but love for you two and we'll always be here for you," Tommy said. Trent and Kira smiled at their teacher. His words were exactly how they felt. The three embraced in a hug.
"Hey, where are Leila, Kim, and Tori?" Kira asked, wanting to know where her three bridesmaids were. The guys were about to answer when an a cappella song came on from three familiar female voices.
WHEN YOUR WALKING IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT
AND YOUR SOUL IS CHURNING.....
Everyone turned and saw Tori, Kim, and Leila singing on stage. Kira and Trent clapped in surprise.
WHEN YOUR HOPE SEEMS OUT OF SIGHT
KEEP THE CANDLE BURNING ALL IT TAKES IS ONE STEADY HEART
IN THE WORLD THAT TURNING
SHINE A LIGHT AND PIERCE THE DARK
KEEP THE CANDLE BURNING
Kira grabbed her bouquet and tossed it up to Leila, who caught it easily. Everyone looked at Hunter, who only blushed and looked up at Leila. Leila smiled back at the love of her life.
KEEP THE CANDLE BURNING......................
