Wedding day 5:30 am
Clark wakes up with no Lana next to him he can still smell her on the other pillow on his old bed. Clark smiles to himself and thinks today is the day, today I marry the woman of my dreams my soulmate and we will be together forever as of this day. Clark heads to the bathroom to brush his teeth and get going on the day's chores.
Clark super speeds through the daily chores and takes a few minutes to talk to Ben Hubbard his long time neighbor about the farm and what needs to be done while he's gone,
Ben assures him that all will be taken care of and that the farm will be exactly where it is when the happy couple return. Ben wishes Clark to have a good day and have a great wedding they will see him later that night at the reception.
Clark returns to the farm house taking a longing look across the fields to his and Lana's house.
(baby are you awake yet?)
(Yes my husband we are just hanging out and talking with the girls right now soon we will start the process of getting ready for this evening.)
(Mom left sandwiches for the guys in the fridge hopefully they didn't raid them last night before I went to bed I heard Pete and Oliver in the kitchen so I know Bart must have been with them too. I'll have to check later, time to get the boys up from their hard night of partying. I went to bed around two am and the card game was still going on.)
(What happened Clark did Pete clean you out again?)
(No actually it was Oliver who cleaned me out.)
(I missed you last night I slept on your pillow because it smells like you.)
(I did the exact same thing Clark I still missed you more though.)
(Not having you next to me was the hardest night I've ever faced so far Lana I wish I could have been with you last night.)
(Baby we are married remember this is just for family and friends so they can be part of our life too, one night apart isn't going to hurt us. We are in each others hearts we always have been there too even when we were apart and with this telepathic link we are going to be together always, I will always love you Clark you are in my heart and part of my soul.)
(Lana I love you so much when did you get so smart you know me so well.)
(I should Clark I've been in love with you for as long as I can remember.)
(Hey that's my line) said Clark.
Lana giggles and says (call me if you want to talk husband know that you are the most important thing in my life.)
(I love you too) said Clark.
Clark banged the kitchen door closed a couple of heads popped up Oliver looked over at Clark "ok I get it you want us up man my head hurts what didn't I drink last night?"
Clark looked at Oliver "so this is what happens when Chloe isn't holding your leash."
"Oh don't even start Boy Scout my hangover from having too much fun playing cards last night is my issue to deal with, ok?"
"Right" said Clark "so pancakes for breakfast everyone up for blueberry or strawberry?"
"You cook Clark" asks Bart?
"Yea I've been cooking for a while now but I make awesome pancakes ask Lana or Chloe they both have had them and they seemed to like them."
"Ok I'm in" said both Pete and Oliver, Victor just nodded his head. AC was already in the shower so he had no vote.
"Ok then let me get started anyone want bacon with the pancakes."
Clark goes through the process of making food for his buddies without using his powers until he gets to the bacon but this is after a pile of pancakes are covering the serving plates. "Hey Pete can you set the table?"
"Sure Clark" was his reply.
Clark took the cast-iron fry pan down and placed the bacon in it and decided to cook it quickly with his heat vision the boys stare in awe as Clark cooks up the bacon in seconds.
Oliver says "that never gets old that is just so cool Clark."
Clark just smiles and says "Lana has gotten used to doing the same thing but it took a while for her to develop fine control over it."
Oliver says "it's still cool."
They sit and inhale the food Clark made. While Clark super speeds through cleaning the dishes just so they can head outside for some air and decide to head into town to get some coffee at the Talon.
Potter House 9 AM
Back at the Potter house the women are taking turns using the shower and starting the process of getting ready. Chloe sits at the kitchen table talking to Lana and Martha "well today is the day, I'm willing to bet that you never thought that this day would come."
"Chloe I'm happy its finally here, this evening I will be officially Mrs. Clark Jerome Kent, wow it just hit me I'm going to be a Kent, Mom I'm so happy".
Lana has tears running down her face at this point. Chloe looks at Martha and Lana giving them both a huge group hug.
Chloe says "well at least we get the crying done now so we don't have to redo your makeup later."
Lana smiles and says "I'll try my best ok."
Lana is all smiles as the last of the wedding party finishes up in the shower and they decide its time to head to town for hair and nails even though the hairdresser is going to make a spot check around 4 pm that afternoon to make sure everything is perfect for Lana.
The party enters Harriet's Hair Salon to find that they are the only customers for the day the 9 ladies quickly find themselves being pampered and catered to, Lana notices that they are the only clients and ask Chloe if she finds it strange that they are the only customers in the salon that day Martha comes to the rescue telling them both that she let it slip out that she was getting married today.
Lana accepted that answer without much question. Chloe is glad Martha came to the rescue because she paid for the hair dressers and the salon for the day for whatever the ladies wanted and she didn't want Lana to know that she and Oliver were paying for this too.
Martha had a special present and gave Lana an Heirloom comb that belonged to her mother in law Laura Kent. That was sprinkled with small diamonds surrounding a few brilliant blue Sapphires. To add something old and something blue Lana was very happy with Martha's small gift it meant everything to her.
No one other than the owner knew that they were closed for the day to cater to Lana and her entourage the hair dressers and Nail technicians were clueless to the fact they had exclusive clients for the day.
Lunch showed up around 1 pm everyone ate Lana barely ate anything she was too excited in less than 4 hours she would be Mrs. Clark Jerome Kent, Lana was never one to watch the clock but today time seemed to go on forever she felt that time slowed down just for her just to keep her from becoming Mrs. Kent.
The one thing she has wanted more than anything else.
As Lana sits in the chair to start the transformation process the shop door opens and in walks none other than Lana's Aunt Nell. Lana see's her and sinks down in the seat Nell not to be deterred walked over to Lana and takes her hand looking deep in her eyes she says " Lana I am so sorry I have caused you pain I want you to know that both of us approve of you're marriage to Clark and welcome him with open arms."
"I felt terrible last night after our discussion, I expect you to find it hard to forgive me because I did push you in the direction I wanted you to go in without thinking about what you wanted."
"I love you Lana and only now want you to be happy and if Clark is what makes you happy then you have my blessing, marry Clark and have a wonderful life together Dean and I will support you in what ever you decide to do. I just wanted you to know that before you got married today I'm going to go now and in a smaller pleading voice Nell said "I love you both honey" and started walking to the door.
Nell got about six steps before Lana came out of her dazed condition and looked at Nell saying "Aunt Nell please stay with us it would be nice to have you here today." Nell came to a complete stop before she made the seventh step she turned with tears in her eyes walking back to Lana's chair hugging her saying "thank you I will be proud to stand by you."
Well that started the tear fest in the whole salon Chloe passed out Kleenex to everybody. Chloe was affected by the display of her best friend knowing the relationship has been strained for years and this might just give them both closures. Chloe thought this is looking like a stellar day.
Nell sat in the chair next to Lana and for once she didn't try and take over everything and have things be run her way, she understood she was an observer this time she didn't have to think for everybody else it was a nice new felling holding Lana's hand and just smiling.
Lana's hair was beautifully styled up with her hair curled at the ends in a tress of ringlets and curls.
The Kent Farm 1 PM
Clark and the boys got a game of hops going on the side of the barn the guys played for a while finally calling it quits around noon so they had time to eat the food Martha had prepared for them the prior day and to clean up for this afternoons activities.
Mean while the tents arrived with several trucks full or people, equipment, and plants for the reception. The tents went up first as soon as the site map was consulted. Clark looked on with awe as what seemed like an army went to work ensuring everything was in place and ready for tonight.
Clark looked over at Oliver "man these guys move fast and seem to know what they are doing."
Oliver just laughed a little looking at Clark "it all in the planning or so I am told."
"Oh Clark no peeking by the way the tent is off limits to you buddy until you walk in with your wife later today."
Clark got the wounded kid look on his face answering Oliver with "I can wait" some how it didn't sound very convincing to anyone guys headed back into the house to have lunch and get ready.
The Farm - 3 PM wedding day
The groom is dressed and nervous he has been walking back and forth in the living room for only a few minutes and AC looks over and tells Clark to "sit down and chill your going to enjoy today don't let fears or doubts cloud your mind just chill, look when Miranda and I got married we did a small wedding but had a huge sea party after it was cool too bad you couldn't be there."
Oliver said "Chloe and I got married on that Vegas trip we took and well it's the best thing I've ever done, yea there were some issues with who got married but it worked out fine I wouldn't change anything and you will get the same answer from Chloe too."
Bart just laughed "nope never going to happen to me boys I'm just too fast to tie down." They all laugh at Bart's self inflicted pun.
"Well I just wish my dad could be here to see this day, I still miss him."
Victor grabs Clarks shoulder and shakes it a little "Clark I'm sure he's watching you and is very happy for you both you two have been going around each other for so long. I'm really happy for you both it's about time you two caught a break and made things happen."
The rest of the guys nodded their heads in agreement with Victor's wise words.
Clark told the boys he's going to clear his head and goes outside for a few he heads past the tents and the equipment in area so much stuff is happening and falling in place he watches the onslaught of equipment plants and furniture as it disappears into the tents.
He walks past the barn to the animal pen fence which has the top rail off at the moment only to be startled by Jonathan who is standing there with a hammer in hand.
Jonathan asks Clark to give him a hand fixing the rail.
Clark's shocked reaction is "Dad how are you here?"
Jonathan answers with "I'm always here Clark I watch over you your mom, Lana, the baby, and the farm."
"I wanted too tell you this day is one of your happiest days as Jor el already said you now have someone to support you and be with you through out your life."
"Clark you have needed this so much. You and Lana have been kept apart by forces not of this world but now you have the chance to let your love for each other to conquer all."
"Do that, you two together are stronger than anything in any world as long as you two work together nothing is beyond your reach Clark."
"Always remember Smallville and the lessons you learned here, where ever you go Clark for the both of your sakes."
"Remember Clark love can conquer all, love each other and you are a force to be reckoned with in the world." Jonathan hands Clark the hammer "here give me a hand" as he picks up the fence top rail placing it on the posts Clark looks to the nail head and raises the hammer to drive the nail in and looks back to see the rail in place and nailed, Did I just imagine that he wonders until he notices the hammer in his hand, Clark smiles so Dad approves also this is a great day.
Clark walks back to the house with a huge smile plastered to his face he pauses before he enters the house.
(Lana are you there?)
(Yes, Clark what's up?)
(I just got a visit from Dad)
(You mean Jor El?)
(no my Dad, it was just like in the fortress, we were going to repair a fence on the animal pens but he gave me a message and then disappeared the only reason I know it happened is that he handed me a hammer and after he was gone the hammer is still in my hand) (Wow Clark, what did he say?)
(Love can conquer all we are to love each other and we will be a force to be reckoned with in the world)
(Wow Clark that is so cool)
(All we need now is Jor el to give his blessing again and your aunt thought Clark)
(How are you doing my sweet, I don't sense that your nervous or anything like that so you must be the calm and cool customer?)
(Clark I'm happy, this is happening at last, this is all I've ever wanted, oh let me tell you the best news Nell and I made up she and Dean accept you as my best choice and she now thinks finally that she pushed a lot of what she wanted on me.)
(Wow that's huge, how did that happen?)
(Well same way things always started with Nell she started giving everyone her opinion I just couldn't take another session so I fired back for a change I was really upset for a while last night. I think we settled everything between last night and this afternoon just about an hour ago or so.)
(I'm happy for you Lana!)
(Baby they need me for something's I'll see you soon Mr. Kent you are my light honey, I love you soo much!)
(Bye baby I love you too soon you will be my wife. This is the happiest day of my life I can't wait to see you)
The Farm - 4 PM Wedding Day
Clark and the boys are dressed and ready everyone has had their shot with terrible wedding night advice for Clark which he just laughed off. Clark was getting a little tense because time had seemed to have slowed down the day had dragged on and on. He was dressed in a simple black tux with a sharp white shirt with a black tie Clark decided to forgo the dress shoes and just wear his black boots which he shined to gloss finish last week.
Oliver was shocked to see the boots wondering if they were paten leather boots because he had never seen a pair of boots with such a shine. Clark for the first time in year or so washed out all the hair grease out and went with the mop look he had when he and Lana were dating in high school which was mostly the length of his hair all the time. "Hey Clark glad to see you back man" said Pete when he saw how Clark was wearing his hair for his wedding.
"Thanks Pete I hope Lana likes it it's a surprise for her she was saying a couple a weeks ago she missed the old farm boy look."
"Oh man, does that mean the plaid shirts are back too?" Oliver laughed
"Clark buddy Lois is going to kill you if you go back to the farm boy look."
"She's just going to learn how to deal with it, both of us like this look she can get over it or not its her choice" Oliver just rolled his eyes not wanting to push the point right now he really wants Clark working for his company not the Daily Planet and anything he can do to make that happen faster the better in his opinion.
There were two teams of photographers covering each party Clark's and Lana's entourage. Pictures were being taken at almost every second it seemed like thankfully they weren't posing people in ridiculous wedding planned shots just yet.
The men make their way out to the side of the house after a while and climb aboard a tractor drawn cart that has been set up with seats for the momentous occasion. Once everyone is seated the driver slowly takes off for the field.
Neither Clark nor Lana knew what to expect at the field they just thought that everyone would be standing in the grass as the pastor presided over the service. Oliver had gone all out for the nuptials site.
The scene was set for a fairytale wedding fit for a prince and a princess.
The contractor had built a low platform for the ceremony and a arbor that extend in a arc from the left to the right about 10 feet in the air which was covered in a very light periwinkle colored and white wisteria in full bloom draping down from the arbor.
There was a railing on both sides and a raised section of the platform for use during the wedding. They had placed a low platform that led between multiple rows of chairs. The isle ends were also draped with wisteria blossoms, white bows, a iris in the center with white roses on the ends of the rows.
They have seating for over 250 people. As the tractor driver pulled up to the site the contractors were in the process of spreading white rose pedals on the alter floor.
Clark was speechless he had no idea it would be so elaborate. This was way more than he or Lana expected.
Clark thought for a few moments of telling Lana over their telepathic link but he decided she would love what their friends had done for them so he held in his emotions so Lana would just as surprised as he was.
The men took up their positions as other wedding guests arrived at the site. The sun would be down in about a hour so the wedding had to start in less than 15 minutes, Clark had done his part his job was to stand around and greet people who came over to shake his hand and bestow wishes upon the happy couple.
Potter House - 4:10 PM
All the women with the exception of the bride were loaded onto a tractor pulled cart designed for parades in downtown Smallville. The cart had low fold up steps so the ladies could ascend onto the cart without breaking heels.
Four other carts were close to the site transferring wedding guest to the site due to the high growth of the fields grass. Chloe and Oliver had a long conversation over cut the grass or not to cut the grass, Oliver almost won out with cut the grass. Chloe told him the happy couple would have been devastated if they changed the scenery of the field because she knew that Clark and Lana both loved the high grass it made outdoor sports not a spectator sport.
If Chloe had let him cut the grass it would have changed many couples afternoon delight not just Clark and Lana's.
Chloe helped Lana get settled on the jet black open top carriage drawn by two huge palomino's' that came along to deliver the bride to the wedding site once Lana was settled in the carriage ready to go Chloe looked at her and gave her a big hug "this is it Lana, were ready to go".
Lana just smiled it was really going to happen finally she had waited for this day for so long. "Let's go already I don't want to wait anymore. This is a long over due wedding Chloe lets go already."
"Do you want me to ride with you?" asked Chloe.
"No I'm ok I just need a few moments to myself if that's ok" Chloe just smiled climbing down from the brides carriage walking over to the other cart getting aboard she loudly said "let's get this party started."
The team driver gave the cart a 2 minute head start then started for the wedding site after he asked "Ms. Lang are you all ready to go?" Lana just smiled that huge Kent smile and nodded her head, the driver said "next stop your wedding."
The Oak Tree 5 PM
Lana rode alone in the carriage she sat here enjoying the late afternoon weather in the meadow leading to the hill where their tree was located. Lana was lost in thought when she noticed she had a passenger with her sitting across from her it was her aunt Louise; she said "Lana you look beautiful I love your hair and dress Clark is a very lucky man."
"Thank you Aunt Louise I was hoping to see mom and dad today have you seen them" she asked.
"I was told they will be able to watch you get married today but they won't be allowed to talk to you today, both of them told me that they approve of Clark and wish you a very long and happy life together."
"Wait a second they won't be allowed today you just said so at some point I do get to talk to them" Lana questioned?
"Yes dear at some point, but I don't know when that will be I'm sorry Lana." The carriage rounded the last turn entering the path that led to the huge oak tree and the wedding party.
Louise looked over her shoulder looking at the crowd and the tree she turned back to Lana, "Lana have a great wedding you two picked a place that has a lot of history which I can tell you about at some other time know that your mom and dad love you both as well as I" and with that Louise disappeared.
Lana sighed she contacted Clark
(Baby my aunt Louise was here for a few moments she gave us her best and blessings. She told me both mom and dad approve of our marriage)
Clark replied with (Lana I know that must makes you so happy; what about your parents are they going to show up at some point)
(Aunt Louise said they won't be allowed to be with us but I hope they can watch over us today)
(Me too)
(Hey pretty lady be happy we have the approvals you wanted and you have me forever)
(I am so happy Clark, I was hoping that they would be here of all days).
Lana followed up that thought with (I Love you husband of mine.)
Clark didn't need to respond he tried something they had limited success with so far her opened his link to Lana and poured all his feelings of love into the link. Lana was still sitting waiting on the carriage she all of a sudden started to feel a warm glow all over and a sense of fulfillment and contentment like she had never felt before she smiled in that huge Kent trademark smile.
(Clark she asked was that you she was more than surprised to feel exactly what Clark was feeling)
(Yes I tried something new did you like it asked Clark)
(Wow Clark, it was almost overwhelming but I loved it I want to try it again and your going to have to teach me how it works too my love.)
Lana's carriage pulled up to the space set up for her reception on the field. They had set up a partition on the left just a few moments ago so the bride remained out of sight from the groom.
Chloe helped Lana down from the carriage and the other brides maids in periwinkle checked over Lana and her dress to make sure everything was perfect. Chloe hired a make up artist to come over and touch up her magic on Lana's beautiful oval shaped face.
The pastor took his place center stage as Oliver shook Clark's hand saying "here you go last chance to disappear Clark" with a smirk and a smile.
Clark just laughed a little at Oliver "I've waited too long for this already even kryptonite wouldn't be able to keep me from her."
Oliver finished the hand shake wishing Clark all the best and he'll be back in a few to take his place as best man as soon as he escorted the brides maid to her place on the platform.
The string quartet started with 'Jesus joy of mans desire' for the entrance of the wedding party as the brides maids were escorted down the isle one by one with their attended groomsmen.
As the fourth bride's maid took her place Oliver started down the isle with Chloe the maid of honor. The entire party had been on their feet from the second the carriage approached hoping to get a glimpse of the bride.
Lana thought she would be a bundle of nerves at this point but was surprised that she felt calm and collected she attributed it to Clark sharing his feelings of his love for her just a few moments ago.
Lana just smiled to herself looking at Chloe and Oliver noting that they were their best friends and wondered how would they ever be able to have this wonderful wedding well beyond her dreams without their best friends, she made up her mind right then at sometime during the honeymoon she was going to have a talk with Clark about taking Oliver up on his offer.
We owe the Oliver and Chloe at least that much if not a lot more. Lana thought as she waved to the cute couple as they walked out of her line of sight hidden behind the partition its good to have real friends who care about you and yours.
Lana's heart had never felt as light as of that moment, she noticed that she seemed to be able to see the assembled guests and figured out quickly that she was air borne again. Lana got herself back on the ground and settled herself as the last bars of the processional music faded she heard the starting bars of 'Pachelbel canon in D' Lana took her place as in practice she was told to let one complete stanza complete and then start her walk, the strings would drop out as she was helped onto the dais.
Lana got another surprise for today Pete was going to escort Lana down the isle and be the person to give her away. The sight of her real father Henry Small asking if he could have the privilege of walking his daughter down the isle floored Pete and made Lana a very happy woman.
Lana was almost speechless she hoped her father would be there for her on this her wedding day.
Lana smiled at Henry saying "Father I would be proud and honored if you would walk me down the isle." Lana and Henry took their places and started her slow walk down the isle she only thought of Clark and the baby that was to come in about six months.
Lana had been lucky no morning sickness at all if this was what carrying Clark's babies was going to be like she wouldn't have any complaints.
Lana smiled the whole way down the isle as she caught eye after eye on her last walk as a single woman.
Lana noticed that Martha, Nell, and Dean were all sitting in the front row she took a small side trip to hug all three and share a tear with her aunt and Martha.
Lana made a point to beckon Jennifer Small over to thank her for showing up and making this day the best day in her life.
This drew an ahh from the crowd.
Nell whispered that "I couldn't think of a better way of showing our support that sitting with Martha on the groom's side."
That brought a tear to Lana's eyes Nell quickly dabbed away the tear and placed the veil in its down position.
The pastor asked after noticing that Lana had been escorted down the isle by someone other than Pete "who gives this woman to holy matrimony?"
Henry said in a loud voice "I her father do give this woman", Henry gave Lana a kiss and returned the veil telling her "you are the most beautiful bride I've ever seen."
Henry took a seat on the left side next to his wife Jennifer both adults had smiles of great joy on their faces for Lana and Clark.
Lana turned and with Chloe's help stepped up to the dais and walked carefully to the place next to Clark. Chloe and Shelly one of her cheer friends and talon employees helped straighten out the wedding dress train once that task was done every one resumed their places and the pastor started the service.
Clark and Lana looked stunning they were standing on a symbolic gem of truth that they made a couple of weeks ago at the fortress of solitude with Jor-El's help.
Jor-El also told them about the kryptonian version of a wedding ceremony. The happy couple figured that seeing they were the beginning of a hybrid race of krypton and earth they should incorporate the gem of truth and decided that the bands were very important parts of their heritage.
They decided that the wrist bands might not be the best idea but because earth relied on rings as proof of a joining they asked Jor-El if it would be ok if they made a small change to make the ceremony their own and the beginning of a new race.
Jor-El resisted at first but relented in the end when Lana proposed instead of colored unique bands they instead used unique rings designed to each house and customized by the happy couples. Clark and Lana made each others rings in the fortress Lana made Clark a simple gold band with platinum inlays showing the iris flower and the shield and eight symbols for the house of El, Lana included a zigzag band in the center of the ring with the pattern only being broken by the symbols. Clark on the other hand copied Lana's design adding diamonds in-between the symbols and on the leading and lagging edges of the symbols with the center diamond being a fire brilliant white v1 grade stone (Clark made over one hundred diamonds before he got what he was looking for.) Jor-El was very pleased with the designs the bride and groom came up with.
They also made the gem of truth and honor they and the pastor were standing on it was a project that both Lana and Clark worked on it was made of the same material that made up the walls of the fortress of solitude. A substance that looked a lot like water ice and in a lot of respects it was water ice.
When Lana and Clark showed it to Chloe and Oliver, Oliver was amazed, they were more than impressed. The stone had 12 sides about 10 feet across 12 star facets with 12 main crown facets and 24 break facets the gem stopped at the girdle cut it was about 8 inches high. When Oliver thought no one was looking at the farm he took out a hardness gauge he had in his pocket and broke it trying to make a sample measurement.
The nights before when it was placed on the platform for the wedding Oliver sent a team to measure and sample it. He had gotten a very shocking email on his phone moments ago. The project manager said in the email that they had never seen anything like it its properties were unlike anything ever seem. The one thing that stood out for the team was the fact that a 12 foot object was flat perfectly; not even a variation from within a wave length of visible light the surface redefined the term flat. That made Oliver's mind up right then he had to have Clark working for his company and was willing to do almost anything to have him working for Queen Industries.
Lana, Clark, and the pastor all stepped on the gem of harmony and truth at the same time turning on an internal white light that just shined and back lighted the happy couple.
The pastor starts the ceremony with a prayer and a short psalm followed by a bible reading. Next up was Chloe reading a bible passage.
I Corinthians 13:4-7.
Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous;
love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly;
it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
The reading was followed by a short sermon on the important of marriage in the world today a real snoozer it put more than half of the attendees asleep.
This was followed by another psalm and Oliver's reading of "Wedding Prayer" by Robert Louis Stevenson
Lord, behold our family here assembled.
We thank you for this place in which we dwell,
for the love that unites us,
for the peace accorded us this day,
for the hope with which we expect the morrow,
for the health, the work,
the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful;
for our friends in all parts of the earth. Amen
At this point the pastor announced in addition to the traditional wedding vows Lana and Clark and made an addition and the pastor wanted to make sure that every one was aware that this is something the happy couple created, which is to be added to the ring exchange.
Best man may I have the rings please asked the pastor. Oliver forever the prankster takes out a ring box that looks nothing like the one Clark gave him twenty minutes ago. He hands the box to the pastor with a smile the pastor looks at the box and opens it notices that it contains plastic kiddy rings and does a ah-hem at Oliver he looks sheepishly at the box and rings and puts a what did I do look on his face.
Chloe looks at Oliver and give him fix this now buddy or else look she is so famous for and Oliver produces the correct box with the rings in it and quickly swaps out the boxes and rings with a sheepish apology to the pastor, must have gotten mixed up.
Lana and Clark just smiled and say it loud enough for Oliver and the immediate wedding party to hear "Oliver quit messing around"!
The pastor opens the ring box and sees the real rings he says a short blessing over the rings and hands the brides ring to Clark.
Clark repeat after me. "I, Clark Jerome Kent, take you, Lana Elizabeth Lang, to be my lawfully wedded wife, my constant friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence of God, our family and friends, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. For where you go I will go and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. And where you die, I will die and there I will be buried. May the Lord do with me and more if anything but death parts you from me. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live."
Clark tenderly places the ring on Lana's finger desperately wanting to kiss her at this point he uses his telepathy (baby, I love you so much I just want too smother you in kisses at this second and its so hard not to do exactly that)
( Lana replies with I love you too just hold out for a couple of minutes were almost done baby just think soon it's just going to be you and me and baby for a couple of weeks)
Clark just mentally groans (ugh) the pastor takes Clarks ring and hands it to Lana after she passes off her bouquet off to Chloe for the ring exchange.
Lana repeat after me. "I, Lana Elizabeth Lang, take you, Clark Jerome Kent, to be my lawfully wedded husband, my constant friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence of God, our family and friends, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. For where you go I will go and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. And where you die, I will die and there I will be buried. May the Lord do with me and more if anything but death parts you from me. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live."
Lana places the ring on Clarks hand then they both stand facing side by side in front of the pastor with their backs to the crowd for the moment the pastor smiles at the anxious couple "were almost done guys hang in there for just a few more minutes."
Both Clark and Lana groan a little returning to the facing each other position again. Chloe returns the bouquet to Lana.
Clark and Lana move to within 6 inches of each other Clark recites the kryptonian marriage vow to Lana "In the name of truth and honor I declare the marriage vows binding upon you; from this day forward, throughout all time and space, even unto eternity." Lana repeats the vow back to Clark with a huge smile on her face "In the name of truth and honor I declare the marriage vows binding upon you; from this day forward, throughout all time and space, even unto eternity."
The pastor continues with "I declare that you have been made husband and wife this day—and for all days hence. May the countenance of God ever shine on you", "By the powers invested in me by the state of Kansas and God I now pronounce you Husband and Wife." "Clark you may kiss your bride." Clark closes the gap to Lana and raises her veil smiling with all love in the world.
He wraps her up in his arms and closes the distance between their lips Clark took his time capturing his wife's lips once they made contact there was a short struggle for dominance with Lana surrendering to Clarks insistent lips slowly their mouths open to admit each others tongues they shared a long and passionate kiss.
Clark had made his mind up early in the morning the first kiss as husband and wife had to be more than memorable.
Clark's kiss completely took Lana's breath away and got her turned on like crazy if it hadn't been for the 250 people in front of them they would have been without clothing in short order.
(Husband of mine that wasn't very fair, that kiss, all I want to do is remove your clothes and ravish you every inch of you I want to attack you and have you).
Clark replies with (mission accomplished our first kiss as a married couple had to be an earth moving kiss. The passion I have been holding in all day has been keeping me at the boiling point I can't wait until we're alone. Do you think the guest would miss us at the reception?)
(that's an evil thought Clark, I like it but we do have friend and family with us so we will leave soon enough and we will have a whole two weeks for us, and just us) said Lana.
The newly weds turned to face the crowd. The pastor said "may I present the happily married Mr. and Mrs. Clark Jerome Kent." With that the crowd broke out in loud and thundering applause.
The string quartet started with 'the wedding march'.
The crowd reached under their seats under every seat was a small bucket with periwinkle, yellow, and white rose pedals as Lana and Clark exchanged hand shakes with the pastor and hugs and kisses with the bridesmaids and groomsmen they turned and started the decent down the dais once they reached the pristine white carpet two things happened at the same time behind the oak tree two huge fans were moved out and box after box of periwinkle and white wisteria blossoms were placed into the air stream created by the fans creating a down pour of white and periwinkle and the attendees started throwing the rose pedals into the air creating a shower of rose pedals both Lana and Clark thought for a moment that it was raining flower pedals as they made their way down the isle and to the carriage.
Once they were both inside and seated enjoying the well wishes of their friends and family they both noticed a trio watching from the adjoining hill both recognized the trio in question as Lana's parents Laura and Lewis and Jor El.
Lana had been happy before but now she was crying tears of joy because her parents had seen her wedding it was almost as good as having them there.
Lana and Clark both knew that would cause way too many questions that couldn't be answered easily Lewis, Laura, and Jor El waved to the happy couple and disappeared in front of Lana and Clarks eyes.
Lana grabbed Clarks hand Clark wiped Lana tears from her eyes.
It was the most emotional moment in the wedding for Lana she was happy to see both her mother and father, it made her day.
The carriage took the long route back to the farm and the tents. While the attendees were being transported back at a faster pace then when they were brought into the little valley.
Within a hour there was no sign that anything had happened in front of the old oak tree except the trampled grass that was starting to spring back up, in a couple of days there would be no sign of any human activity happened here.
This once again became a spot for lovers and stray cows.
