Chapter 13: The Wedding
Author's Note: This chapter is a little bit longer. That's because of the music in here. I don't own the Power Rangers, Reba McEntire's song I'll Be or Celine Dion's song Because You Loved Me.
While the bride and groom got ready for the wedding, Kurt pulled Trent aside. "Trent, may I speak with you for a minute?" He asked.
"Sure," Trent replied.
They walked away from the park and Trent sat next to his car. "What's going on?" He asked.
"Trent, I want you to help me stop my baby girl from making a terrible mistake," he replied.
Trent looked at him quizzically. "I know you're still in love with my daughter, Trent. I can see it in your eyes. Just when the priest asks if anyone objected to their marriage, just say you object," he instructed. Trent looked at him in shock.
"I knew this was going to happen," he mumbled.
He stood up and glared at the man. "I do love Kira, Mr. Ford, but she's like a sister to me now. I can see that you despise Connor, but don't break your daughter's heart over it," Trent insisted.
"How about I pay you for doing this?" Kurt asked.
"I don't need money, Mr. Ford. I make plenty of my own money."
Trent went to walk away when Kurt grabbed his arm. "Listen here, rich boy. You better stop my daughter from making her mistake. Don't you see that she's making a mistake?" He asked. Trent pulled his hand off his arm.
"I see that Kira is happiest girl alive. Good day, Mr. Ford," Trent finished.
He walked away and Kurt stood there in anger.
Trent told Kira everything that just happened. Kira sat down and looked at Trent. "I don't want him here, mom," Kira insisted.
"Kira, he's your father," Carol insisted.
"If he was my father he'd drop this whole thing with Connor. Trent, get security and escort my father out of here," Kira insisted.
Carol was about to object, but then she saw the look in her daughter's eyes. "Mom, dad won't stop until we're apart," Kira insisted. Carol nodded sadly and watched as security escorted her husband away. Now, it was Tommy that was going to walk Kira down the aisle.
When the ceremony was about to being, Kira smiled at Tommy. "Thanks Dr. Oliver for doing this," she commented. Tommy smiled and kissed Kira's cheek.
"You're like a sister to me, Kira," he stated.
Then it came time.
Connor watched Kira with bright eyes. She looked so beautiful to the point that he couldn't even blink. "Who gives this woman to wed?" The minister asked.
"I do," Tommy replied.
Tommy lifted Kira's veil and placed a kiss on her cheek before handing her off to Connor. He then sat next to Kimberly and took their daughter, Olivia, into his arms.
As the ceremony went on, Connor felt nervous. The vows were coming up and he was afraid he'd mess up. "Do you Connor McKnight take thee, Kira Ford, to be your wife? To have and to hold from this day forward, from rich or for poor, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, and until death do you part?" The minister asked. Connor smiled at Kira before answering.
"I do," he replied.
"And do you Kira Ford, take thee, Connor McKnight, to be your husband? To have and to hold from this day forward, from rich or for poor, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, and until death do you part?" The minister repeated.
"I do," Kira replied.
Then the rings were brought forward. Connor took the ring and began slipping it on Kira's finger. "With this ring, I thee wed," he vowed. Kira took the other ring and began slipping in on Connor's finger
"With this ring, I thee wed," she vowed.
Carol and Kendall smiled with tears in their eyes. Their children were all grown up and married. Then the priest said another prayer before smiling at the couple. "By the powers invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride," the priest announced. Connor removed the veil from Kira's face and kissed her. "All of you who witnessed this, I give you Mr. and Mrs. Connor McKnight," the priest announced. Everyone clapped for the newly weds then the reception was taking place at the café.
Everything was so beautiful in the café. White ribbons and flowers decorated the place. The cake sat on the bar part. The tables were moved so there was enough for dancing and other things. Everyone sat down and then Trent stood up. "I guess it's time for the best man to make a toast. I have known Connor and Kira for years and since the day I saw them together, I knew that these two would go far. Look at them now. I wish you both the best of luck. To Connor and Kira," Trent spoke.
"To Connor and Kira," the guests agreed.
Then it was time for the first dance for the bride and groom. They watched as Kimberly got up onstage and started playing her guitar and the band was playing in the back. Connor held Kira to him and she placed her head on his shoulder as they danced.
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful, baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand, I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
Kira smiled and then she looked over to see Kurt standing there. "Dad," she whispered. Kurt walked over and sighed.
"Kira, I'm very sorry," he apologized.
"You bribed Trent to breakup the wedding," she mumbled.
"That was before I had to watch the wedding outside the park. Thankfully I had my binoculars to see. I see that you're very happy. And I'm stupid to think that I almost made my baby girl unhappy. I'm very sorry."
Kira sighed and then Kira smiled. "How a dance for the father and daughter?" She suggested.
"Absolutely," Kira replied.
Kurt smiled and Kira kissed his cheek. "I love you, daddy," she whispered. Kurt held his daughter closed and sighed.
"I love you too, sweet heart," he whispered back.

When there's nobody else around.
I'll be.
I'll be.
Connor smiled and then he took his wife back into his arms. "I love you so much, Kira," he whispered.
"I love you too, Connor, I love you too," she whispered back.
