Sorry. It's taken me so long. You can expect more posts because last night I was watching The O.C., naturally. And I saw the previews and one of my ideas for Sandy and Kirsten on their honeymoon was being portrayed by other characters. So to make sure people are less likely to call me a thief I will be posting it before that O.C. episode airs.
(Same church as Julie and Caleb got married in and Caleb's funeral)
Back at One—Brian McKnight begins playing
Sandy stands at the alter with the preacher. Watching the couples walk slowly down. His heart beating a million a minute. He was kind of surprised that he was just as nervous as the first time he did this. As if she was going to run away. Apparently, his nervousness was obvious because Ryan put his hand on Sandy's shoulder. Sandy looked over to him. Ryan was at his side and to Ryan's side was Jimmy. Marissa and Hailey are waiting on the other side. The music began to swell. He watched for her. His breathing becoming irregular.
It's
undeniable that we should be together
It's unbelievable, how I
used to say that I'd fall never
The basis is need to know
If
you just don't know how I feel
Then let me show you that now I'm
for real
If all the things in time, time will reveal
Yeah
Sandy's eyes brighten up, as he makes eye contact with her. Seth begins walking his mother down the aisle. Kirsten has a beautiful white gown on and a small veil. Her hair is wavy and there is a clip holding the veil in her hair. In her hand is a beautiful bouquet of white flowers. Sandy is losing his breath and his heart is beating wildly but at the same time isn't beating at all. Excitement is extremely evident across his face while he waits for Kirsten to make her way down the aisle. Seth has his hand over his mothers. His face is etched with excitement, also. He didn't like seeing his parents the way they were last year. He wasn't sure though if he was ready for the year before that to return, what with the PDA and all. Ryan has a slight smile across his face. He then turns his attention to Marissa. Hailey is also smiling for her sister and brother-in-law. Jimmy is smiling at Kirsten slightly disappointed because it's not him getting married to her. Then he kicks himself in his mind because he has Julie and does love her.
OoOoO
One,
you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three,
girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me and
Four,
repeat steps one through three
Five, make you fall in love with
me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I'll start back at
one
Kirsten and Seth get to the alter. After kissing his mother on the cheek and patting his dad on the back, Seth takes his place between Ryan and Jimmy. Sandy is looking deeply into Kirsten's eyes. Kirsten is doing the same to Sandy. They both have wide smiles on their faces. Both of their eyes are locked onto the others in the same loving look. A smile spreads across Sandy's face. He is trying to hold back his emotions. He wants to cry. He wants to smile as big as he can. But all he can do is look into her eyes. Kirsten blushes, knowing exactly what Sandy is feeling, and smiles lovingly at him.
Sandy looked lovingly at his wife.
"Kirsten"
he said with a smile, "this past summer I realized just how much
you mean to me and I don't think I'd be able to live without you.
So many times I didn't think I'd be able to get out of bed
because just seeing you smile gets me through the day."
With
this Kirsten smiled, causing Sandy to smile. He began to speak
softer. "Kirsten, I'm living because of you and I'd die for
you. Sweetheart," His voice went into a whisper. "I love you more
than words."
Kirsten eyes started to tear up. Sandy looked deep into her eyes with a very comforting look in his own eyes.
"Sandy, this past year I've put you through so much you were always there for me even when I pushed you away." Kirsten began. "Being without you made me realize how much I need you. I don't know how I managed before you came into my life and I can't imagine my life without you. Sandy," Her voice cracked slightly from the tears she's holding back. "I love you with all my heart."
They stood there. The world melting around them. They are the only two on the face of the planet. Tied up in the moment. Just looking into one another's eyes. The love between them evident.
"May I have the rings?" The preacher broke them slightly out of their trance.
Ryan handed the preacher the rings. Kirsten put Sandy's ring on his finger while a loving smile started to form. Sandy then took Kirsten's hand and held it safely in his own. He then placed a beautiful new diamond ring on her finer. Kirsten looked at it and her small smile spread slowly across her face as her eyes lit up. Sandy watched her face light up like a small child on Chrismukkah morning. Kirsten looked up at Sandy with the smile still on her face.
"You may kiss the bride"
They looked into each other's eyes and smiled. Sandy put his hands on Kirsten's back and Kirsten put her arms around Sandy's neck. They leaned into each other and kissed. They kept their foreheads together as they stared deeply into one another's eyes. The crowd applauded and Sandy and Kirsten walked down the aisle. Their hands tangled within one another. They walked to their limo, taking them to their reception.
"I love you, Mrs. Sandy Cohen."
"I love you, Mr. Kirsten Cohen." Kirsten giggled. Sandy looked at her like she was crazy, while she just smiled defiantly. He stared at her and she blushed.
"What?" She giggled.
"You're so beautiful." Sandy said and he leaned over to kiss her. She reciprocated and put her arms around his neck. He swung her legs across his waist so that she was almost sitting in his lap. His hands wandered over her body. He began to kiss her neck and shoulders.
"I love you so much, Sandy." Kirsten whispered.
"I love you, too, Kirsten." Sandy replied, and then went back to kissing her lips. They were stopped abruptly by the driver braking suddenly. The driver cracked the window.
"Sorry folks. This jerk doesn't know how to drive correctly." He rolled the window back up. Kirsten peered out the window. They were almost there and Sandy's hair was a mess now from Kirsten running her fingers through it. She smoothed out his hair as he left kisses on her arms, neck, and anything else he could find. The driver parked and Sandy helped Kirsten out of the car. Their reception was on a cliff over looking the ocean, like where Julie had her shower. There were speeches and jokes, most from Seth. Sandy winked at Seth signaling for him to get ready to turn the music on. Seth of course had wanted more than a wink for their signal, like crazy glasses made with your hands or large hand motions. Sandy had told him they needed to be more stealth.
Sandy stood up and extended his hand toward Kirsten. "Would you like to dance, my beautiful bride?"
"Of course." She smiled. They walked onto the floor hand in hand, waiting for the music to start. Seth was fumbling with it. Sandy knew it was a mistake to let Seth be the DJ for this, but it got him to stop whining. Finally Seth got it going. Kirsten and Sandy got ready to dance but were welcomed with the sound of "Y.M.C.A."
"Seth!" Sandy called, annoyed.
"Crap." Seth muttered under his breath. "Just a sec." Ryan rolled his eyes.
"Here doof. This one." Ryan handed him a CD.
For
all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made
me see
Sandy heard the music and turned back to his wife. "Here we go." They began to float over the dance floor.
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 through it all
"Aww. Look." Kirsten pointed out. Summer was hitting Seth, no doubt for something he said. "Like father, like son." Kirsten said with a grin.
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
"Hey. I take offense to that." Sandy said. Kirsten laughed.
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
Kirsten sighed and put her head on Sandy's shoulder, closing her eyes. Sandy could sense something was bothering her. "What's wrong, baby?"
You were my strength when I was weak
"If my dad were still alive, maybe he could've made it to this one." Kirsten said.
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
"Aww, baby. Don't beat yourself up over that. He probably would've missed this one, too." Sandy said comfortingly.
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
Kirsten picked her head up and looked at him, a mix of shock and disapproval.
"It was just a joke, honey." Sandy said defensively.
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
"Well it wasn't funny." Kirsten said sadly.
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
"I know. He would have come and told you how beautiful you look today." Sandy said. "By the way, have I told you that?"
I'm
everything I am
Because you loved me
"Yes, you have." Kirsten smiled at him. "I love you." She laid her head back down, closing her eyes, enveloped in the feeling of comfort he gave her. She listened to the words of the song.
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
She lifted her head and looked into Sandy's eyes. He looked back into hers and smiled. She smiled back and then cupped his face with his hands and kissed him gently. She gave him small pecks on his lips and cheeks.
You
were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I

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

They didn't take notice to the fact that the music had stopped. Nor did they realize that their innocent pecks had turned into deep passionate kissing. To them, it was just the two of them in a secluded area of nowhere. That is, until Seth spoke up. He yelled his disapproval and they broke apart knowing that they would be reunited soon.
