Once settled down Sam bridesmaid passed her her bouquet to her then she turned and held onto Jack arm then they walked down the aisle smiling at everyone there while the music was playing.
Then the bridesmaids, flower girls, page boys and grooms men follow Jack and Sam. When they got to the trellis, the best man and chief bridesmaid carefully picked up the long veil and train. Then followed Jack and Sam over to one spot and waited till all the brides' maids were over to where they were and they took turns on looking after the train.
They walk over to a spot so their guests can walk over to them. When they did, only some of them did to congratulate them before moving away to let others talk to them. They talk for an hour before they walk back down to the front again.
Half an hour later the table and chair was moved out of the way and so were some of the chairs. The archway was still in the same spot. The photographer and other guests took photos of Jack and Sam. There were a number of photos taken of them with other guests. By the time it was done, they were pleased.
"Jack I need to remove my train, I'll be right back"
"Ok Sam" they both kiss before Sam gets Mark's attention and she walks over to his car. When they got there
"Sam what is it"
"Can you get the bag out while I'll removed my train"
"What"
"Mark" watched her unhook her train and part of the long vail.
He unlocks his car and gets Sam's bride bag out and helps Sam put the train into the bag. Then the bride maid remove the comb which was holding the long vail and they fold it up and put it in the bad then zip it up and put it on the back seat then close the door
"Well, I need a drink"
"Same here, you know Sam you do look beautiful today"
"Thanks Mark, how Ann?"
"She said she been getting back pains this morning, other than that she fine"
"Ok shall we" they walk back over to where everyone is.
They got themselves a drink and went their separate ways. Sam looked around and found Jack, so she walked over to him. When he looked at her he frond, when she saw it, she knew it was about her dress.
"Sam what happened to your dress?"
"Nothing except there no train and long vail"
"Ah you know I'll be looking ford to take this dress off you tonight"
"And I'll be looking ford to take your dress blues off tonight"
They smile and kiss, then they mingle for the next half an hour before guests walk into the marque and sit down and wait. When it was time they all heard
"Ladies and gentlemen would you please stand up for the bride and groom"
"Shall we" they held onto each other's hands then they walked in as every one stood up and clapped.
They walked toward the stage where there were white and yellow roses and a long bouquet along the edge of the table. When they got to their seats. Jack pulled out Sam chair for her so she sat down as he pushes it in then he sat down next to her and they both kiss
Then the minister stood up and walked over to the microphone to say grace then he sat down just as waiters showed up with trays in hand, they put the first course in front of their guests then they went back to get some more.
During their first course the waiters showed up with bottles of champagne, sodas for the kids and non-alcohol for the ones who don't drink alcohol or who are pregnant.
When there were speeches about Jack and Sam that caused a lot of people to laugh. When Jack and Sam said their speeches, they were together.
"We would like to thank Lisa Johnson, our wedding coordinator, for helping coordinate our large wedding… thank you lisa" Sam said
"We would like to thank the joint chief of staff and the president for letting us having our wedding, the reception and security here at the academy" Jack said looking at them since they were at one of the closest tables
"We hope you all enjoyed yourselves this evening, so eat drink, have lots of fun and you all will be able to work on your dinner later" Jack said smiling as he pats his stomach.
Then they sat down and picked up his drink and took a sip of his champagne.
Everyone got ups and mingles for a while. Jack walked over to the DJ and spoke to him then he went looking for Sam. When he found her he walk over to her and wrap his arms around her waist, she turn and smile then she wrap her arm around his and gave him a kiss
"Are you folks enjoying yourselves?"
"Yes Jack, there sure is a lot of guests here"
"We know, now if you will excuse us I'm going to take my wife to the dance floor" then he looked at sam
"Shall we start the first dance for the evening"
"Why not"
They turn and walk over to the edge of the dance floor where Jack gave the DJ the nod. When the song finish, every one heard

When they got to the limo. Jack and Mark help Ann into the limo when a contraction hit

"Let's return back to the party, I think it time to cut the cake before it melts?" Sam laugh
"You just want to eat it?"
"That too" they walked back to the tent and nodded to the security personnel who were outside.
When they walk in, they look around to see everyone having a wonderful time. They walk over to Andy who was sitting down with a glass of beer in hand
"Jack, Sam did mark and Ann get away ok?"
"Yeah they did, we most probably won't know till tomorrow or when we return back from our honeymoon"
"where Jane?"

"Ok well can you make the cake and throwing the garter and bouquet announcement"
"Sure" he stood up and walked over to where the DJ is while Jack and Sam walked over to where the cakes are and waited. When the song finish, every one heard
"Ladies and gentlemen the bride and groom are going to cut the cake following the removing and throwing of the garter" all the guys wolf whistles and cheer Jack on
"And throwing of the bouquet so please clear the dance floor"
Everyone cleared the dance floor and a chair was put in the middle of the floor. The photographer was there with his camera ready and waiting. On the table in front of them was a three-tier stack wedding cake with basket weaving icing all around it and their wedding cake topper on top?
On each side of the cake were the three stands on each side with the same cake but smaller. The large cake was twenty inches round with eighteen inch for the next layer and sixteen on top with the cake topper on top. The other six cakes, the bottom was sixteen inches round.
The middle was fourteen inches and the top was twelve inches with the same basket weaving icing on it with mini yellow roses on top. The first stand was five inches high, the second was ten inches and the last was fifteen inches high. Behind them is the same archway that was used for the wedding ceremony and photos.
Jack picks up the knife and they look at it and then each other with a smile on their faces. It was the wedding serving set that Mark and Ann got them as a wedding present. They remember after the first course that Ann wanted to talk to them. So they walk over to the table since Mark was one of the groom's men.
Couple hours earlier
"Jack, Sam Mark and I know that you didn't want anything for a wedding present, but we did you get you something" Mark pass Jack a oblong box wrap up
"Well thanks, I think"
Jack took the paper off to reveal a box, so he opened it to see a sterling silver serving set. The end on the handles was a silver heart on them and both knife and cake server got 'Jonathan & Samantha O'Neill 15 June 1985' Engrave on it
"Wow thank you" Sam said then she gave them both a hug
"You can use it to cut your wedding cake" Ann said smiling"Don't you worry, we will" Jack said.
Present
"Shall we Mrs O'Neill" Jack said smiling
He put the knife just above the cake and Sam put her hand on top of his then they cut the cake and kissed. Everyone cheers them on, then they cut it again. Sam used the cake server to get the slice out and put it on the plate, then Jack cut it in half and then put the knife down. Then they pick up the cake and feed each other with it as everyone cheers them on, then they both kiss.
"Mmm chocolate" Jack said
"I know" She said, licking the cream from her lips.
