"May 27th, soon to be the best day of my life. In two hours, Alex and I
will be husband and wife. I've been waiting my whole life for this day.
And it's finally here." Walsh says
*~*~*~*~*
"Yo Jimmy, is everything ready?" DK asks
"Yeah, everything is set." Jimmy replies as they prepare to head off to the church.
"You have the tuxes right?" Walsh asks
"Yeah, I just put them in the Jeep." Jimmy replies
"Okay, then let's go." Walsh says
"You're looking a little nervous there buddy." DK says to Walsh
"I'm a little nervous." Walsh says
"Don't be." Jimmy replies as they head off towards the church. *~*~*~*~*
"Okay, let's get to the church." Kim says to Taylor
"Give me a minute." Taylor replies
"Everything is there and waiting. Come on." Kim adds
"Okay, I'm coming." Taylor says
Nicole walks into the apartment. "Are we ready?"
"Yes, we're ready." Kim says looking at Taylor. *~*~*~*~*
The church is decorated beautifully with white lilies and orchids and other flowers. They are spread throughout the vestibule and around the altar.
Beth Taylor awaits her daughter's arrival.
"They should be here by now." She says to Adam
"Don't worry mom, Alex is coming. I just got off the phone with her." Adam replies
Moments later Alex, Kim, and Nicole enter the church.
"Okay, let's get you girls ready." Beth says
"Are the guys here yet?" Taylor asks
"Not yet. Now let's hurry, the groom can't see the bride before the wedding, it's bad luck." Beth says
The girls all laugh as they head off to their dressing room. *~*~*~*~*
Shortly after the girls head off, the guys enter the church. Adam greets them.
"Are the girls here yet?" Walsh asks
"They just went to their dressing room." Adam replies
"I told you they were going to get here before us!" DK says
"Well, that's because you drive too slow." Jimmy cracks
"Oh yeah?" DK taunts
"Okay guys, let's go get ready." Walsh says
The guys head off for their dressing room. *~*~*~*~*
Faith is getting dressed.
"Fred, are you ready to go?" She asks from the bathroom curling her hair
"Almost." Fred says as he puts his tie on.
"Okay, I'll be done in a minute or so. Make sure that Emily has money for her and Charlie's dinner." Faith says
"Already done." Fred replies
Faith finishes her hair, adjusts her dress and exits the bathroom.
"You look great." Fred says as he kisses her
"Thanks, you don't look so bad yourself." She smiles
"Okay Emily, we're heading out. Charlie, you listen to your sister, she's in charge." Fred says
"Okay." Charlie replies as he returns his attention to his video game
"Have fun." Emily says. "Bye guys." Faith says as they head out the door. *~*~*~*~*
"I better go see if Joey has arrived yet." Kim says
"Okay, hurry back." Taylor replies.
Kim heads out of the dressing room. Jimmy is standing in the lobby with Joey.
"Hey, he's ready." Jimmy says
"Good, I wanted to make sure." Kim responds
"You look beautiful." Jimmy says looking at Kim in her long, wine colored dress.
"Thanks." Kim replies "Well, I better get back in there and help Alex finish getting ready."
"Yeah, the guests will be arriving soon. The friends of the bride go on the left right?" Jimmy asks
Kim smiles, "Yes, bride on left, groom on right."
"Got it." Jimmy responds as DK walks out.
"Man Kim looks good." DK remarks
"Yes she does." Jimmy replies. *~*~*~*~*
"Well, are the guys ready?" Taylor asks
"Joey, Jimmy, and DK are all standing out in their tuxes ready to go. The guests have just started arriving. Looks like we have a wedding." Kim replies
"I'm just trying to picture DK in a tux." Nicole jokes
"He doesn't look too bad." Kim smiles
"I have got to see this!" Nicole comments as she peers out. "You're right, he doesn't look too bad. Oh there's Carlos."
"I better head out to greet the guests. I think you all can handle it from here." Beth says
"Okay, thanks mom." Taylor replies
"Well, are you nervous?" Kim asks
"Yes, I am very nervous right now." Taylor replies *~*~*~*~*
The church fills with friends and family of Taylor and Walsh. The organist is playing as the guests arrive. Jimmy escorts Fred and Faith to a seat. Davis and Sully sit, as do Doc and Carlos. Prescott enters and sits with Logan and the rest of the squad. Bosco arrives and sits with Fred and Faith. *~*~*~*~*
The priest walks into Walsh's dressing room.
"The mother of the bride will be walking into the church in five minutes." The priest says
Walsh's mother and father look at their son.
"You look great Billy." His mother says
"Thanks mom. Well you better get out there. It's almost time for you to go in." Walsh says as he kisses his mother on the cheek.
"I'm proud of you son." His father says
"Thanks dad." Walsh replies.
His parents exit the room. *~*~*~*~*
The priest knocks on the door of Taylor's dressing room.
"5 minutes ladies." He says
"Thank you father." Taylor replies.
Kim and Nicole adjust their dresses and take their bouquets of white carnations and orchids.
"Well, how do I look?" Taylor asks
"You look beautiful Alex." Nicole says
"Alex, you look radiant." Kim says as she hands Alex her bouquet of white roses and blue carnations, and baby's breath.
A knock comes on the door. "Okay ladies, it's time." The voice says DK escorts Walsh's mother and father into the church. Jimmy escorts Taylor's mom and brother in. They both then take their positions. The mother's light the candle on the altar. And Walsh comes to the front.
The priest is in position and the organist changes the music. Nicole proceeds down the aisle. Her long dress flows smoothly across the floor. She smiles as flashes from cameras go off. Next Kim comes down the aisle. Her smile tells the whole story. Jimmy smiles as Kim takes her position. Finally Joey comes down the aisle carrying the rings on a white pillow. He gets to the front and takes his position.
The wedding march begins. Taylor appears in the doorway, escorted by Lieutenant Johnson. They slowly proceed up the aisle. Flashbulbs go off. Taylor smiles radiantly. Walsh gets a huge smile on his face. They reach the front.
"Dearly beloveds. We are gathered here today as friends and family, to witness the union of Alexandra and William in the bonds of holy matrimony. It is by God's grace that we are to witness one of life's great moments. We are here to recognize the love that these two share with each other. It is with warmest wishes and joyful hearts that we join them on this day that they have chosen to wed.
I shall ask that if anyone among you has just cause that these two shall not be wed, let him speak now or forever hold his peace." The priest says
After a pause the priest begins again.
"Who gives this woman to be wed?" The priest asks
"I do." Lieutenant Johnson replies as he puts Taylor's hand in Walsh's. He smiles to them both and goes to his seat.
The priest continues. "William and Alexandra, life is given to each of us as individuals, and yet we must learn to live together. Love is given to us by our family or by our friends. We learn to love by being loved. Learning to love and living together is one of the greatest challenges of life - and is the shared goal of a married life.
William, do you take Alexandra to be your wife?"
"I do" Walsh replies
"Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and protect her, forsaking all others and holding only unto her as long as you both shall live?" The priest asks
"I do." Walsh replies again
"And do you Alexandra take William to be your husband?"
"I do." Taylor replies
"Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and protect him, forsaking all others and holding only unto him as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." Taylor replies
"The rings please." The priest says. "These rings are a symbol of the bond that William and Alexandra have chosen to enter into. The shape is that of a circle, which has no beginning or end, this symbolizes their love for one another that it too shall have no beginning or end."
From This Moment by Shania Twain starts
"Repeat after me. I William" the priest says
"I William"
"Take thee Alexandra," the priest continues
"Take the Alexandra"
"To be my wife." The priest adds
"To be my wife."
"To have and to hold." The priest adds
"To have and to hold"
"In sickness and in health." The priest continues
"In sickness and in health"
"For Richer or poorer." The priest adds
"For richer or poorer."
"This is my vow to you." The priest adds
"This is my vow to you."
The priest then turns to Taylor.
"Repeat after me. I Alexandra" the priest says
"I Alexandra"
"Take thee William," the priest continues
"Take the William"
"To be my husband." The priest adds
"To be my husband."
"To have and to hold." The priest adds
"To have and to hold"
"In sickness and in health." The priest continues
"In sickness and in health"
"For Richer or poorer." The priest adds
"For richer or poorer."
"This is my vow to you." The priest adds
"This is my vow to you."
"William and Alexandra, as the two of you come into this marriage uniting you as husband and wife, and as you this day affirm your faith and love for one another, I would ask that you always remember to cherish each other as special and unique individuals, that you respect the thoughts, ideas and suggestions of one another. Be able to forgive, do not hold grudges, and live each day that you may share it together - as from this day forward you shall be each other's home, comfort and refuge, your marriage strengthened by your love and respect for each other.
"A marriage ceremony represents one of life's greatest commitments. But it also is a declaration of love. I wish to read to you what Paul wrote of love in a letter to the Corinthians. I believe it is a true model of love and it is a model of love I hope you pursue in your marriage:
"Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud.
Love is never haughty or selfish or rude.
Love does not demand it's own way. Love is not irritable or touchy. Love does not hold grudges and will hardly notice when others do it wrong.
Love is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out.
If you love someone, you will be loyal to them no matter what the costs. You will always believe in them, always expect the best in them, and will always stand your ground in defending them."
"Let us bow our heads in prayer. Heavenly father our hearts are filled with great happiness on William and Alexandra's wedding day, as they come before You pledging their hearts and lives to one another. Grant that they may ever be true and loving, living together in such a way as to never bring shame or heartbreak into their marriage. Temper their hearts with kindness and understanding, rid them of all pretense or jealousy. Help them to remember to be each other's sweetheart, helpmate, best friend and guide, so that together they may meet the cares and problems of life more bravely. And with the passage of time, may they find great contentment in the rich joy of senior companionship. May the home they are creating today truly be a place of love and harmony, where Your Spirit is always present. Bless this marriage we pray and walk beside William and Alexandra throughout all of their lives together. We ask these things in Jesus name; Amen.
As a sign of William and Alexandra's love, I call upon these two candles. Each burns separately, as a representative of your separate lives, separate families, and separate sets of friends. I ask that you each take one of the candles and together light the center candle."
Walsh and Taylor light the candle.
"The individual candles represent your lives before today. Lighting the center candle represents that your two lives are now joined to one light, and represents the joining together of your two families and sets of friends to one." The priest says
"William and Alexandra, in so much as the two of you have agreed to live together in Holy Matrimony, have promised your love for each other by these vows, the joining of your hands and the giving of these rings, I now declare you to be Husband and Wife.
Whom God hath joined together. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious unto you. May the Lord lift up his countenance unto to you, and give you peace.
Congratulations, you may kiss your bride." The priest says
Taylor and Walsh kiss.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to introduce to you for the first time as husband and wife, Mr. and Mrs. William Walsh."
Everyone in attendance claps. Flashbulbs again light up the church. The wedding party is smiling. The organist plays the recession and Taylor and Walsh walk back the aisle hand in hand. The clapping and cheering continues.
Everyone gathers outside of the church. Jimmy walks through the doors with Kim.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. William Walsh!" Jimmy announces from the top step of the church. Taylor and Walsh head down the stairs of the church to their awaiting limo. They travel through a tunnel of bubbles. The church bells ring out in glee. DK closes the door to the limo and the driver pulls off.

"You know, I always knew that Alex would find a great guy to care for her. And I am happy to say, that that guy is one of my best friends in the whole world. They're good for each other. They deserve each other. And seeing them there today, I know it was meant to be." Jimmy says
