It was the day of Tommy and Silvia's wedding. They decided to hold the wedding at the church Silvia and her family had been going to since they moved to Pittsfield back in 2015, right before Silvia's ninth birthday. The church was decorated in beautiful pink and white carnations, and Peter and Jesse, who were chosen to take on the job as head ushers, showed everyone's parents, who had come up from Yucaipa, California for the occasion, along with all of the Disney characters, to their seats. Soon, it would be time for the wedding to start.
The organist started to play the traditional wedding march, as the professional started to walk in. The first person to walk in was 2-year-old, PrincessRosemary Watanabe Albany of the Confederacy. She had been chosen to be the flower girl. There she was, with her long brown hair all done up really pretty, wearing a hot pink dress, throwing the flower pedals down the isle of the church, and smiling, for this was one of the few times she could throw something, without being put into time out for it. Next to her, was Z Weller, the ring barer, and Silvia's nephew. He was wearing a black tuxedo, and carrying the rings for the bride and groom. Z was actually pretty good friends with Rosemary, only because Rosemary made him her assistant. Of course, the only thing the grown ups could talk about whenever they saw Z and Rosemary playing together during this time of wedding preparedness was how they looked so much like Tommy's cousin Angelica did around that age, when she met Harold, and made him her assistant. Angelica was so busy with being a lawyer, it was quite a surprise when she showed up that day with her husband Brody to attend her cousin's wedding, and Harold? Well, nobody had heard from him since he moved to Connecticut when everybody was in high school, that is, until now. He had recently been ordained as a priest, and was subbing at this particular church for that particular week in April. When he heard who was getting married, and learned rather quickly who it was, he agreed to marry Tommy and Silvia.
Following behind Rosemary and Z were the brides maids and grooms men. In the lead was the made of honor, and Silvia's long time best friend, Kelly, a tall girl with blond hair, who came up all the way from Kansas just for the occasion. She had known Silvia since the sixth grade, when she moved to Massachusetts from New York, and Silvia, showed her the ropes. Then, she moved off to Kansas to attend school for the blind in high school, and never moved back since, but came back for this special event in Silvia's life. Next to her was Chuckie, the best man. Behind them was Nicole, who looked very pregnant, as she was due any day with her child, who was going to be a baby girl, which she and Chuckie had decided to name her after her biological grandmother and setp grandmother, making her name, Melenda Kira Finster. Walking next to her was Zack, and behind them was Phil and Lil, and bringing up the rear of the line of brides maids and grooms men were Dil and Kimi. The grooms men wore black tuxidos while the brides maids wore turquoise long blue dresses.
Then, came the stars of the wedding. There was Silvia, in her long white dress, her bright red hair, done up so beautifully, which they had Lil do up everybody's hair, since she was the cosmetologist in the group. And she marched up to Tommy, who stood tall and proud at the alter, just as he did back in the eighth grade when giving his barmitsfa, in a white tuxedo, his purple hair, so perfect, not a single hair out of place. The only difference this time around of course, was he wasn't wearing a yomica at this event, like he did at his barmitsfa back in the eighth grade. Once the profession finished, and everybody had taken their places, the ceremony began.
"We are here today, to see to the marriage, of Tommy Pickles, and Silvia Weller." Said Minister Harold.
Just then, Chuckie handed the rings to Harold
"Tommy, do you take Silvia, to be your loftly wedded wife, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, till death, and till you part?" Continued Minister Harold.
"I do." Said Tommy, as he placed the wedding ring on to Silvia's finger.
"And Silvia, do you take Tommy, to be your loftly wedded husband, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, till death, and till you part?" Said Minister Harold.
"I do." Said Silvia, as she placed the wedding ring on to Tommy's finger.
"If anybody objects to this union, speak up, now!" Said Minister Harold.
The church remained quiet for the next two minutes, before Harold made his proclamation.
"And now, I pronounce you, Mister and Misses, Tommy and Silvia Pickles. You may now, kiss the bride." Said Minister Harold, as Tommy and Silvia, shared their first official kiss, as husband and wife.
Everybody in the congregation cheered, as the wedding party recessed out of the church.
Later, at the reception, which was taking place in the ball room at the Crown Plazza, everybody had finished their dinner, which consisted of a choice of smoked chicken and grilled salmon with dill sauce, rice piloff, and roasted vegetables, consisting of collyflower, brustle sprouts, red bell peppers, and mushrooms. Following dinner, Tommy and Silvia cut the cake, which was a beautiful, white, gluton free wedding cake, as requested by Silvia's family, as a result of her brother Matthew, being gluton intollerant. After everyone had their share of wedding cake, it was time, for the traditional first dance, of the bride and groom.
"And now, let's welcome our newly wed couple, Mister and Misses, Tommy and Silvia Pickles." Said the DJ, as they did the cutting of the cake. A little while later, Tommy and Silvia went out to the middle of the dance floor.
"And now, it's time, for the first official dance, of the bride and groom." Said the DJ, as I Believe in You and Me, by Whitney Houston, started to play.
Tommy and Silvia, shared their first dance as husband and wife, as they heard the great and late Whitney Houston, sing the lyrics of the song they chose to dance to at their wedding reception. And, Whitney, sang the following, loud and clear through the large speakers in the ball room.
I believe in you and me
I believe that we will be
In love eternally
Well as far as I can see
You will always be the one
For me, oh yes, you will
And I believe in dreams again
I believe that love will never end
And like the river finds the sea
I was lost, now I'm free
'Cuz I believe in you and me
I will never leave your side
I will never hurt your pride
When all the chips are down, baby
Then I will always be around
Just to be right where you are
My love, you know I love you, boy
I will never leave you out
I will always let you in, boy, oh baby
To places no one's ever been
Deep inside, can't you see?
That I believe in you and me
Maybe I'm a fool
To feel the way I do
I will play the fool forever
Just to be with you forever
I believe in miracles and love's the miracle
And yes, baby you're my dream come true
I was lost, now I'm free
Oh, baby 'cuz I believe, I do believe in you and me
See, I was lost, now I'm free
'Cuz I believe in you and me
Believe in you and me
As the song ended, Tommy and Silvia realized that at that very moment, their life couldn't be anymore perfect. They were not only, meant for one another, but they never gave up on one another, making their love for one another in the end, everlasting, and eternal.
And this, ends the story, of The Reunion, of Tommy and Silvia.
Author's Note: I hope everybody enjoyed this story. And yes, the song, I Believe in You and Me, by Whitney Houston, has always been one of my favorite songs, and, it just seemed like such a perfect fit for Tommy and Silvia. And, the wedding, in terms of how it was decorated, and everybody's clothing attire, is how I imagine my wedding to be someday, whenever it should happen, as I've always loved pink carnations, and turquoise is my favorite color. And, no worries, I hope to have more Rugrats + AGU stories, up sometime soon.
