I do not own Once Upon a Time.
Smile time!
"Do you, Emma Ruth Swan, take Killian Jones as your husband? For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health?"
"I do."
"Do you, Killian Michael Jones, take Emma Swan as your wife. For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health?"
"I do."
"Then by the power vested in me, I pronounce…"
But Killian didn't wait. He had already swept Emma off her feet for their first kiss as a married couple.
And the cheering was deafening.
Tara looked around the banquet hall. Sophia was with her cousins. Little Graham was being held by his great Aunt Barbara. Neal was mingling with the family.
As the matron of honor, Tar had already made her speech. But there was still one tradition she had to uphold. She walked up to the DJ and asked for the microphone.
"Can I have everyone's attention?" She waited for quiet. "I just want to express my congratulations to happy couple. Now for the real reason I'm up here: a song." She turned to the DJ and then a familiar tune began to play.
"I am a sailor, you're my first mate…"
Killian was overcome with emotion and held Emma tight. "This is the song my father sang to my mother at their wedding. Then he sang it at Tara's wedding."
"The Voyage?" Emma guessed.
"Aye, the Voyage."
There were so many pieces from the past at the wedding. Emma was wearing Kathleen Jones' ring. Roxanne had given it to Killian without his having to bring up the subject. "This ring is for hope for the future. That's all I want for the two of you, Killian."
The song choice, candles for those there in spirit.
It was a celebration of love and family. Life was perfect and the future was a very good place. The entire Jones family couldn't wait to see what was in store for them.
So much happiness.
