Chapter 10
The WEDDING!
Disclaimer/whatever: Okay: So I own nothing but the story….That's all…
Also, you guys, there will be cut-ins in this chapter, because he's finally arrived at the school to pick up the kids…also, be sure to look at the likes I pasted in… they're the dresses, Tom's tux, and the wedding rings… (Not enough time to look for groomsmen tux's…plus they all tend to look the same anyway, so…)BTW, this is an OUTDOOR wedding…
Okay, so the happiest time yet…the wedding had finally come…Sure, up to this point, things got dramatic, but- hold on.
He walked inside the school and asked of Jen and Tom Quincy.
So, where were we, oh, right…Things would get dramatic, but it all worked out in the end…Which is good, considering how things were in the second last week before the wedding…that one was fun…No, actually not really, but you get the point…

Jude sat in the dressing room of the church (Actually the main office, which they had converted.), finishing her hair. Sadie, Kat, and Portia came out of the dressing room in 3 identical dresses with matching shoes.
(Girls' B/M dresses. (Except powder blue)
-http/ DRESS!- http/ Tux-http/ came out of the dressing room in her dress and the photographer took a few photos before they got ready to go downstairs.
"Jude, who's the flower girl?"
"Jesse….Taylor's niece, is…." Just as Jude spoke, a little girl came in, in a smaller, but identical dress as the bridesmaids.
"Okay, are we set to go?"
"Well, I have my maid of honor, and my two bridesmaids, my flower girl, my flowers, my…ring…where's my ring for Tom?"
"I've got it…"
"Okay…Then I have everything…."
"Okay…where's your head at right now?"
"Ready to do this?"
"You sure…you're ready to do this?" Jude smiled as a few tears filled her eyes and Sadie wiped them away.
"I'm getting married today…"
"Yes…and you're gonna be happy, and grow old together, and have a million kids…" Jude giggled.
"Okay ladies; let's go… the men of our lives are waiting for us…especially you…"

Tommy ran into the church with the other 3 guys, running from the paparazzi, and walked to the front of the church.
"So, you boys set and ready?" The pastor asked them.
"I've been ready for this for the last 5 years…" Tommy smiled, checking to make sure everyone had everything, and then got set, as the doors opened, and Jesse made her way down the aisle.
By the time it came to Jude, Tommy felt tears stinging his eyes. The wedding march started, and everyone stood, as she came down the aisle, gasping at how beautiful she looked in the dress, as tears fell from hers and Tommy's eyes…but they never stopped smiling! (I'm embellishing, I know…it's my story…I'm allowed)
"We are gathered here today, to join 2 as one, on this day of July 15th, 2009. Tom and Jude have decided to take traditional vows, so before we start, who gives this young woman away?"
"We do…" Sadie, Liam, Darius, Kat, and Stuart all spoke, before slight laughter erupted.
"Okay…the entire neighborhood is, I see…but that's okay. Now, before I start, is there anyone who has any reason why these two not be wed?"
Liam spoke. "And if you do, I'll find a gun and shoot you!"
"Thanks, best man…that's enough out of you…" Everyone laughed again, and the pastor proceeded with the service.
"Love is truth, and is not jealous,…It is not always kind, nor is it ever evil, or cruel. Love lives in us all. To grasp it, and run with it, is finding the true meaning in life. To let it go, and run away from it, is not living…Before we start the vows, Mr. Quincy has something he'd like to say to his bride."
Everyone looked at Tommy, who sucked in a deep breath.
"Jude…you're my best friend, and we both know, that music is my life…but I never told you…you're my world…I wouldn't have a solo album that's going double platinum, if I didn't have you to write about…I wouldn't have anything with out you… In my world where I grew up, you either married someone close to the family, most likely someone you hated…or you got out…I got out…and I never expected to fall in love with a 15 year old…" He took another deep breath as a tear slipped down both their cheeks.
"Phew…." He breathed in again, and then spoke. "Let alone…I never intended on standing her today…not back then…In my mind, it was immoral…but you broke through those walls…You can get in my head and tell me exactly what I feel…If you don't know us very well," Tommy turned to the crowd on the chairs and benches.
"Then you wouldn't know, that she's everything…I told my friend Kwest, over here, once, how much it sucked that the one girl who meant it all to me… could get inside my head, and knew everything about me…was 16, and I couldn't stand it…he asked me if she was 21?...I'll tell you the same thing I told him then…In a second…Something that wasn't publicized at all, was the kiss in the alley on her 16th birthday…that hurt her deeply…I know….but it killed part of me…But now it's time to be your 21…and I'm ready to do this…I wasn't then…not because I was afraid of what I might do to you…I was afraid of what I might do to you….and I was afraid I might fail you…"
He looked deep into her eyes, as more tears emerged.
"Never!" She hugged him, and then the returned to their original spots.
"Okay…Thomas…do you take Judith Elizabeth Harrison to be your lawfully wedded wife….to have and to hold, in sickness and in heath, for richer or poorer" "yeah right!" Some one shouted, and there was an eruption of laughter.
"For richer or poorer…as long as you both shall live, till death do you part."
"What can I say….always…I do…"
"Judith…Do you take Thomas Johnathan Quincy to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold, in sickness and in heath, For richer or poorer, as long as you both shall live, till death do you part."
"I do….Always…"
"May I have the rings?" Liam and Sadie handed them to the pastor.
"Thomas, take this ring and repeat after me." Tommy slid the ring on her finger.
"With this vow…I the wed…This ring is a promise, and a keepsake of my love…".
"Judith, take this ring and repeat after me." Jude turned the ring slightly so that Tommy saw the engraving in it 'You bring out the best in me'. She slid it on his finger, and repeated the words.
"With this vow, I thee wed…This ring is a promise and a keepsake of my love…"
"By the power a vested in my, and by the city of Toronto, I now pronounce you man, and wife…You may kiss the bride."
Jude shrieked a little, and jumped up in his arms, as he gave her a long, passionate kiss. After several minutes, he set her down, while the paparazzi had a field day with their cameras.
"Ladies and gentleman, it is my duty, to present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Johnathan Quincy…"
The Reception.
Jude and Tommy danced to their first song, and then danced for a little while, before dinner was served, and it was time for toasts.
"SPEECH! SPEECH! SPEECH!"
Liam stood, holding up his glass.
"Alright, alright…I haven't known Jude and Tom as long as most of you…I've only known them for about 3 years… and I think I got best man by default…" Everyone laughed. "But that's not the point…Jude and Tommy show you that love doesn't have to just be what you dream of it…it can be true…and you can live happy, and be in love… It doesn't all have to be bad…Look at them…They have been together since she was 17…I'm sure they wouldn't admit it, but in some sense, they were together before that…The love, and the bond between these two, is so great, that even if they tried, I don't think they could let it go…They're made for each other…and they were meant to find each other…."
Everyone clapped, and then Sadie stood.
"Okay…that's hard to beat…but I know Jude and Tom better than anyone here…. I dated Tom for about a year, and Jude's been my sister for the last 20 years…She's my best friend, my sister…my everything…Jude and I have gotten through all the bad times together…most of which were at the expense of Tom…" Everyone laughed.
"But She…she held on longer than I did…As many times as he hurt her, and let her down, she held on for dear life…Knowing somewhere in there, if she held on…she'd find that part that he wouldn't show anyone…and she did…and I praise her for it… because God knows that when you couldn't get something out of Tom, and you sent Jude to him to try, and he wouldn't budge, you weren't going to get it out of him...And I think that's great of her…You two complete each other…"
Sadie sat back down, and Jude stood. "Before be all begin eating, I'd like to take a moment to recognize Georgia, Darius, Portia, on behalf of G Major…they were a major help in expenses for this wedding…Also, my friend Kat…She made the bride's maid dresses, and put the flower arrangements together…." Everyone clapped, and then continued onto the dinner. Following that, the had 2 cakes. One that was going to be eaten at the wedding, and one that had been bought specially for them.
"Alright guys, left side is vanilla, and right side is chocolate…"
(Cake they eat- http/ they're taking with them- http/ at that one at least! It's so pretty!)
They cut the cake, and stuffed it in each other's faces, before finishing out the night dancing, and making out, when ever people clinked their glasses. Around midnight, they got ready to go.
"LET'S GO PEOPLE! MR. AND MRS. QUINCY HAVE A FLIGHT TO CATCH!"
Sadie and the others helped clear a pathway, as they ran to Tommy's car, and there was a slight drizzle of rain.
Once they were in the car, and ready to go, he looked over at her.
"Ready to go, Mrs. Quincy?"
"Always…"
He leaned across the seat, and kissed her, before starting the car, and driving them to the airport,….2 hours later, they were in the airplane, and on their way to New Zealand, Australia…(The current place I would LOVE to travel to…it's a dream of mine)
