A Special Day – Chapter two – The reception.

Kim and Ron had joined the reception after all of the photographs had been made. They had a hard time making across the floor to form a small receiving line because there were so many people wanting to speak to them. Many friends and dignitaries came forward with congratulations and hugs. Kim turned to greet the next guest only to realize that it was Shego. She stopped for a moment and looked at her adversary.

Shego was wearing a wonderful green gown and her hair was carefully done up. Next to her was Drakken in a full tux. "Kimmie, congratulations, I wasn't keen on coming here." Shego growled. "Drakken, here who by the way cried through most of the ceremony, prides himself in getting Ron his first kiss from you. The truce is on until you get back off your honeymoon then I am going to beat you so bad." Shego smiled back with a grin and smiled at Ron. "You better take care of Princess here or I till turn my gloves up full power on your rear end." Dr. Drakken came next. "Shego" he scowled "I told you I always cry a weddings. Kim Possi… oh excuse me, Mr and Mrs Stoppable, congratulations." He turned smile and gave Kim a hug and Ron a handshake.

Monkeyfist was next in line. He was wearing a formal silk kimono. "Mrs. Stoppable, you cannot imagine the pleasure it gives me to say that to you" as he spoke to Kim. "You deserve a fine honorable man such as Ron." Monkeyfist then turned to Ron, and stood absolutely still, then bowed deeply to Ron. Ron stood straight and returned the bow. "Mr. Stoppable, we will in the future have something to settle, but today is a day of celebration. Today, you are a very lucky man. You truly have a most beautiful bride."

Ron bowed again. "Thank you, Monty, you honor us today with you being here."

Next, came Killigan, who took off his tam'oshatter as he came up to Kim. "Ah, lass, seeing ye like this does me heart a wonder. Lad, ye' best take care of this lass. I know ye' will, as you have been do'in it for years already." He reached in the purse hanging from the front of his kilt. "Lass, this has been in me family for years, I want you to have it. It is supposed to bring luck to the couple who has it." He gave Kim a heavy metal medallion that had a four leaf clover on it. "Display it in ye home." Killigan motioned for the two of them to lean over as he had something to whisper to them. "Luck in the way of a big family" he whispered with a grin. "I figured if might be one way to keep the lass out of commission once in awhile." Kim's face flamed red as Killigan stood back and with a florish of his hat, bowed to the two of them and turned to join the others.

Kim's mother came up behind her. "Kim it is time for you to dance with your father. Last dance you know."

Kim nodded and taking Ron's arm walked to the center of the room where her father waited for her. The audience pulled back into a circle as Kim's went up to her father. She held her train in a hoop over one arm. She stood up to her father, her left hand in his right. Her right hand on his side, his left hand on hers. The music started and they started to glide over the floor. Each in their own thoughts as they watched each other.

Just once upon a yesterday'Oh Kimmie, I can't believe this day has come'

I held you in my arms'Daddy, I can't believe this day has come'

You grew into a little girl'It seems just yesterday that you were first put in my arms.

with lovely childhood charms'It seems just yesterday since that first day of preschool.'

Now it seems I only turned around'I remember the day that I first met Ron'

And I see you by his side'We've been together since.'

Oh, I can't believe my eyes today'It seems like yesterday when you first told me of Ron'

My Daughter is a Bride

I guess somehow I always knew

This day would soon be here'You grew up so fast, I tried to keep my little girl'

Still I wonder as I look at you'I remember when Ron came over for the first time'

What became of all the years'Those years went past so fast'

And no words could ever quite express

The way I feel inside'I am so proud of the woman you have become'

Oh, I can't believe my eyes today'oh, daddy, this is so hard, I love you so much.'

My Daughter is a Bride

All the laughter and the teardrops'I will remember all the days we had together'

The sunshine and the rain'I hope to be as good a mom as you were a dad.'

I would relive every moment, Dear'I will cherish them until the end of time.'

If I could bring them all back again'You will always be my daddy.'

But now, My Love, the time has come

To send you on your way'Ron is standing there now, I have to give you up'

So I wish you every happiness'Ron is waiting for me, but I don't want to go.'

And the blessings of this day'I don't want this to end.'

And I hope the love I've given you'I see the love in your eyes for him'

Will forever be your guide'Ron is such a fine man.'

Oh, I can't believe my eyes today'I love you, daddy.'

My daughter - Oh, I can't believe my eyes'I love you Kimmie cub'

My Daughter - Oh, my angel and my pride

My Daughter is a Bride

The dance ended with Kim and her father back in the center of the room. Mr. Possible leaned down and gave her a kiss. Kim kissed her father on his cheek. Mr. Possible turned to see Ron standing just to his side he looked down as his daughter. Ron came up to Kim's side and bowed. Mr. Stoppable turned to Ron and shook his hand. Kim turned giving her father a wistful smile and faced her husband and returned his bow with a curtsy. Ron took Kim into his arms and got ready for their first dance as husband and wife.
