" Are you ready dude?" Joel said to himself, fixing his shirt collar.
" Talking to yourself again Rawlings? You really have to work on that. By the way, here are your rings." Carter held out the gleaming gold bands, and grinned.
" You know, when you told me you and Ms. Fairweather were getting married, I seriously thought you were kidding. I mean, the entire time we were Rangers, you were fawning over her to no point, so the thought that she agreed-"
"- to marry a flight cowboy is crazy. She had so much to offer other men." That was followed by Joel smacking Chad's arm hard.
" Hey! Don't beat up the groomsmen!" laughed Kelsey, walking into the dressing room.
" Wow Kelsey! You look-"
" Don't drool all over your tux Chad. How's the bride doing?" Carter asked, wondering how his own blonde sweetheart was.
" Angela's fine, but the reason why I'm here is to tell you to go up to the alter. The minister's ready."
" Hurray the minister," Joel muttered, straightening the boutonniere.
" C'mon Cowboy. Don't want to be late for your own wedding." With a pat on the back from his friends, the groom walked out of the room.
~*~
Soon, the wedding ceremony had begun, with the organ playing its joyful tunes in the background. Joel watched as guests filed in, some that were relatives, others were people he didn't know.
" You ready?" whispered Carter, adjusting the red tie that signified him as the best man.
" As I'll ever be." Though in his mind, he was telling himself he'd never been more nervous. Well, proposing to Angela came close, but still... then the music changed. It was starting.
Kelsey was the first bridesmaid to come down, a big smile on her face. Soon, her longtime friend would be a married man, and that thought alone brought a grin. Next came Dana, who as the Maid of Honor wore a thin circlet of flowers in her hair. As she neared the alter, she winked at Joel. And then the Bridal March began to play.
For a quick second, he glanced at the families, and was responded with joyful smiles. At first, the Fairweathers didn't condone the inter-racial marriage, but after hearing the entire story, finally gave their blessings. As for his family, they were all for it. If their youngest thought this woman was good enough, they knew he had a proper judge of character. At the moment, his dad and mama sat beaming at him, while his older sister Esmè tended to her new son Isaac. Her husband, along with Angela's brother, was ushers, and was sitting on the side.
A billow of white was revealed through the doorway, as his Angela came through with her father. She was ethereal. If he'd thought he'd loved her before, he must have tripled with it now.
" Hey..." he whispered as she finally reached for his arm. Joel; could see the sadness in her eyes as her dad let go of her, but knew that part of her life was over.
" I love you..." and the ceremony started.
~*~
It's undeniable...
That we should be together...
It's unbelievable how I used to say that I found in her...
The places you need to know, if you don't know just how I feel,
Then let me show you now that I'm for real...
If all things in time, time will reveal...
Yeah...
~*~
" I now pronounce you, Joel and Angela Christine, husband and wife. You may salute the bride." With a loving kiss to his *wife's* lips, he could hear the cheering and the applause. She and he were bound together now. After all the years of wooing her, they were finally together. Husband and wife. They walked out of the church, hand in hand, and as soon as they were out of the audience's view, wrapped themselves in an earth-shattering kiss.
" I love you so much," he embraced her as tight as he could, never wanting to let her go.
" I love you too."
" I love you three," Angela smiled and matched her lips with his. Tonight was the beginning of the rest of their lives together.
~*~
One...you're like a dream come true...
Two...just wanna be with you...
Three... girl it's plain to see...
That you're the only one for me...
Four...repeat steps one to three...
Five... make you fall in love with me...
If ever I believe our work is done...
Then I start Back at One

A/N: Wasn't that Cuuuute?? Sorry, ahem. Now that you've read this, please REVIEW and tell me how I'm doing. So far all the reviews have been extremely kind, and just saying thanks to everyone who did so! Please read my other stories?
P.S. I forgot to add review replies in my last chapter, so here they are:
Debbie: Hope I do couples from season...? I think you got cut off or something.
Power Princess: I don't plan an epilogue any time soon, but if/when I do, I'll rightly consider what you say. Actually, my Alyssa/Cole chapter is kind of dark, but in a cute way (kind of...) You're right in saying that I'm not big on Lost Galaxy, but with all these requests for Leo/Kendrix, you never know. By the way, I read your PR fic, and it's pretty good.
Sierra: I agree. Most of these are somewhat shallow, so I thought maybe for once there shouldn't be a happy ending...
fan: You're welcome!
Redwolf: Thank you for such a compliment!
rain: Thank you for respecting my opinions, and thank you for continuing to read this!
Becky102285: Glad you love it. I've just started a Tori/Blake, but it may not be out for a couple chapters. Also, are you still looking for help with Time Force? I read your profile and it says you'd like some info. If you need some help with anything (except LG), feel free to email me.
psychotic chaos: I have a soft spot for the song too. And I too admit Zack/Aisha isn't my favorite, but if you like Rocky/Aisha, they'll be getting their own chapter too.
Bye!
