Chapter 34: Mr. and Mrs. Oliver
It was June 23, 2004 and the wedding of Tommy and Kimberly had finally arrived. It was taking place in Angel Grove, next to the lake. The place where everything had started for the couple. The problem is now is the bride's nerves.
Kimberly stood in her room looking at herself in the mirror. She was a nervous wreck. She was nervous that she was finally going to be tying the knot with the man she loved ever so deeply. She jumped when there was a knock on her door. "Come in," she answered. She turned to see Kat standing there.
"Kimberly, are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Kimberly replied.
Kat walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Let's take a look at you," she insisted. Kimberly stood up and turned around once.
The dress covered her feet. It had a three inch back to it. Straps that were two inches wide. The bottom pushed out a bit and the top was a bit tight. The whole dress was made of silk. Kat could see the tint of pink to the hemming of the dress. Her veil was attached to a tiara and it ended at her shoulders.
The bridesmaids' dresses hooked in the back, it was made of silk and they were pink.
Kimberly's hair was pulled back in a braid with flowers going through it.
Kat smiled at her. "You look beautiful, Kimberly. Tommy's going to love it," she assured her.
"I don't know, Kat. I'm terrified," Kimberly confessed.
Kimberly sat down and Kat sat next to her. "I felt the same exact way the day I married Jason. I was a wreck. I was worried if the weather was going to be right, if Jason remembered the rings, if I put on too much make-up, if I put on too little make-up, and if my dress was okay," Kat explained. She then grabbed Kimberly's hand. "Then once I walked down that aisle, everything seemed to just disappear," she added. Kimberly sighed and nodded. "Do you feel better now?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'm still nervous though," Kimberly stated.
"That's normal," Kat assured her.
She looked up when the door opened and smiled to see that it was Jason. "Well, this is it, you can back out if you want to," he teased.
"Don't do that, I'm already nervous," Kimberly whined.
Jason chuckled and placed a kiss on her cheek. "Let's get you married," he insisted. Kimberly nodded and stood up. "You sure you want him to walk you down the aisle?" He asked. She gave him a slight push.
"He's our good friend, Jas, or did you forget that?" She asked.
"I'm kidding," he assured her.
She looked up when the door opened and smiled at the person standing there. "So, are you ready?" He asked.
"You bet I am," she replied.
She walked over to him, hugged him, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for doing this, Billy. It means a lot," she told him. Billy smiled and then held his arm out to her.
"You're like the sister I never had, Kim. Of course I would do this," he laughed.
She nodded and slipped her arm through his.
Tommy stood at the altar, waiting for the girl of his dreams to come out. He smiled as his little girl, the flower girl, came down the aisle. She spread out pink, white, and red rose petals and she smiled at her dad as she did so.
Kylie was wearing white shoes, a pale pink dress, a flower circlet around her head, and her hair was pulled back in a braid.
The dress was a sleeveless light pink dress with satin bodice and organza skirt. The skirt was dotted with tiny satin roses. With a matching organza sash that tied in a nice bow at the back. A white rose was pinned at her waist.
Kylie then stood aside. Tommy then looked up as Jason and Kat, Rocky and Aisha, and Connor and Kira came down the aisle. Once they stepped aside, Billy and Kimberly came down the aisle. Tommy's heart felt like it was going to fly out of his chest. At last, at long last Kimberly was going to be his wife. Billy and Kimberly finally stopped in front of Tommy. "Who gives this woman to wed?" The minister asked.
"I do," Billy replied.
He placed a kiss on Kimberly's cheek before handing her off to Tommy. Then he sat down next to Adam and Tanya. The minister went on with the ceremony, but the couple could barely listen to the words. Kimberly looked out at the guests and smiled to see her mother and step-father there. She then saw her brother sitting by them with his wife. Everyone she wanted there was there just like how everyone that Tommy wanted there was there. That even included the Red Rangers he had met. "Do you, Thomas James Oliver, take Kimberly Ann Hart, to be your wife? Will you love, honor, and cherish her from rich or for poor, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, and until death do you part?" The minister asked. Tommy looked at Kimberly and nodded.
"I do," he replied.
"And do you, Kimberly Ann Hart, take Thomas James Oliver, to be your husband? Will you love, honor, and obey him from rich or for poor, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, and until death do you part?" The minister replied.
"I do," Kimberly replied.
The rings were then presented. Tommy took one ring, lifted her hand up and slipped the ring onto her left ring finger. "With this ring, I thee wed," he vowed. Kimberly took the other ring, held his hand up, and slipped the ring onto his left ring finger.
"With this ring, I thee wed," she vowed.
They held onto each other's hands tightly. The minister said a prayer and smiled at the couple. "By the powers invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife," the minister announced. Tommy wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a kiss. "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas James Oliver," the minister announced.
"And it's about time," Jason finished.
Tommy and Kimberly pulled out of the kiss laughing before going back down the aisle together, the way it should be.
