14th, February - Valentines Day
Well today's the BIG day, Tommy and Kimi will now become as one. They are set for 2:00 PM and it will be taken by Rev. Summer Smith. Kimi had to stay with her parents to get in her Kimono wedding dress with Kira, Didi, Charlotte, Minka, Lulu, Lil, Betty, Lucy, Susie and Angelica, while Tommy was getting in his suit with Stu, Drew, Lou, Boris, Howard, Chaz, Chuckie, Phil, Harold and Dil.
Tommy was very nervous, this is the biggest step in his life...marriage. Kimi was worried on how Tommy would react, Susie and Lil were with her in her room, making her hair and polishing her nails.
"Guys do you think Tommy would still love me for having this baby?" she asked.
"Of course he'll do, Kimi don't let fear get away to people you love. Tommy told me, he would die if he doesn't have a baby with you." said Susie, that made Kimi smile, she knew Tommy was the right choice.
"Yeah Kimi, I remember when you were kids, you and Tommy will always play together" said Lil. "Your bound to have a child like that" she smiled.
MEANWHILE
Chuckie, Phil, Dil and Harold were just talking about the wedding and their past experiences.
"What about the time, you think that every time you're near Kimi you sneeze as if you had an allergy or something, but that came from Angelica's mouth" said Dil.
"Yeah but I made up for not playing with her" said Chuckie.
"What's your favorite memory of Kimi Tommy?" asked Chuckie.
"This happened three years ago and that's when Kimi came home and loved me more than 'Z' good thing he's locked away." said Tommy. Everyone agreed. Later Stu came in.
"Boys the limo's here" he said and they walked down stairs. Meanwhile at the girls' place, Kira came in and said, "Girls, the limo is here" she said and the girls walked down stairs. Kimi was happy but she was worried.
AT THE CHURCH
Reverend Summer Smith was waiting at the podium, many friends and guest of Tommy were there including Kameron and his family. They were sitting with Tommy's family and friends at the front. Chuckie was standing with him. Just then the church organ was playing and out came a splendid looking Kimi in her Kimono. Tommy was shocked.
"Oh wow!" he said to himself. Some of Tommy's friends heard that and chuckled. Kimi walked up and blushed and so did Tommy.
"Dearly beloved, we are gather here today in the house of god to join Thomas Malcolm Pickles and Kimiko Wattanbe-Finster in holy matrimony. If anyone decided that these should not be wedded, let them speak now or forever hold their peace" he said. Everyone was silent, the respective mothers and fathers of the two give death glances to the church.
"Very well, Thomas repeat after me" said the priest.
(NOTE: The hash marks are what Tommy and Kimi are repeating)
"I Thomas Malcolm Pickles"
#I Thomas Malcolm Pickles#
"Take Kimi-Wattanabe-Finster"
#Take Kimi-Wattanabe-Finster#
"To be my lawfully wedded wife"

They placed a ring on each finger as a symbol of there love and their marriage.
"By the power vested in me and the lord and the state of California, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride" and so Tommy lifted Kimi's vale and the two gave a long lingering kiss. Everyone cheered, Stu, Didi, Chaz and Kira were in tears and there friends were cheering loud and long.
"It's so beautiful" sobbed Chaz. Kira comforted him.
The two were covered in confetti outside the church by the brides maid and Harold and Roger, the public cheered and the couple gave a kiss outside for them.
"Well we did it" said Kimi.
"We sure did" said Tommy. Everyone took pictures of couple and they went inside the limo to celebrate there marriage at the Wombat Hall. At the Wombat Hall, everyone was ready. Susie was the singer with Phil by her side. Everyone crowded in, everything was decorated with Japanese style decorations. It is now time for the party.
"OK we are now ready for this party to be started!" announced Susie.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing two purple haired people as one who are my dear friends, Tommy and Kimi Pickles!" and came in were Tommy and Kimi.
"Time to party" said Tommy to Kimi. They headed to the table and they began speeches. First up was Chuckie.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to propose a toast to the greatest couple I've seen on earth, Tommy, my best friend and Kimi, my sister as they came as one today. I wish them the best of luck and love for all of eternity." he said happily. Everyone clapped, Chuckie's speech was short but sweet. After many speeches by their parents and friends, it's now time for Tommy's.
"I've not written a speech as this one comes from in her" and Tommy pointed to his heart.
"My darling Kimi, my darling Kimi,
I'll be there for you from good to bad,
I'll be there for you happy or sad,
Your the woman that I love,
You were there for me and I'm there for you,
When we have each other there's nothing we can't do,
I'll be there by your side for ever and ever, until we're old and
grey. I love you Kimi, my darling Kimi"
Everyone clapped and cheered and some were tears, especially Kimi. Tommy saw her crying.
"Kimi, what's the matter, you should be..happy" he said.
"I-I am, but Tommy, there's something I got to tell you and our family and friends" she said. Tommy rubbed the tears away from her eyes.
"You see Tommy, in a few months, someone else will be there for me and you" she said. Tommy was confused.
"Tommy, I...am eight months pregnant!" she announced. Everyone gasped that this news, they were wondering how Tommy would react.
"Kimi..." said Tommy. "That is...Great news!" he announced and he hugged her and kissed her.
"It is?" she asked.
"Of course it is, Kimi your going to be a mom and I'm going to be dad. Oh unbelievable! I can't wait. Everyone this more than a celebration of love. This is also a celebration of a new Rugrat!" he said happily. Everyone clapped and cheered and Kimi was happy, she was glad that Tommy is going to have this child.
Soon, Tommy and Kimi cut the cake and all the tables and chairs were moved out of the way to get ready for the couples dance. "OK first song is from the bride herself and it's 'Simply The Best' by Tina Turner" said Susie, everyone cheered and so Tommy and Kimi were ready to dance.
SUSIE:
I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire
The spotlight was on Tommy and Kimi as they danced in front of there family and friends and even people they don't even know.
You come to me, come to me wild and wired
Mmm, you come to me
Give me everything I need
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak a language of love like you know what it means
Mmm, it can't be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong, baby
Tommy and Kimi looked at each other. They blushed but were very happy.
You're simply the best, better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart no, no, baby, I would rather be dead
Then Kimi hugged Tommy around his neck and put her head under her chin.
Tommy kissed her on her head.
In your heart I see the star of every night and every day
In your eyes I get lost, I get washed away
Just as long as I'm here in your arms
I could be in no better place
You're simply the best, better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart no, no, baby, I would rather be dead
Each time you leave me I start losing control
You're walking away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when I'm alone
Oh baby, don't let go
Ooh you're the best (woo)
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I've ever met
Ooh, I'm stuck on your heart,
I hang on every word you say
Don't tear us apart no, no, no,
Baby, I would rather be dead
Oooh, you're the best!
The two look at each other and kissed right in front of everyone!
Everyone cheered for Tommy and Kimi and they joined in the crowd. Meanwhile at the wedding cake, some little kids were playing around and eating too. Tommy and Kimi looked, it brought them back to the day when Kimi came home with her mother Kira when she married Chaz. Fortunately there was no food fight.
During the party, Chaz's dad, Lou and Boris went to the microphone and sang 'Yellow Submarine' by The Beatles. One performer after another the dads were singing 'Baby Love' by The Superemes for Tommy and Kimi's child and the mum's were singing 'Tutti Fruity'. Chuckie sang 'Something' by The Beatles to Lil and in the end to conclude the party, Tommy sang a song for Kimi. "This one is for my wife, if not for her, my life would have fall." The song was 'If Not For You' by George Harrison. With Phil on the guitar and Chuckie on the harmonica.
TOMMY: If not for you
Babe, I couldn't even find the door
I couldn't even see the floor
Oh, I'd be sad and blue
If not for you
If not for you
Babe, I couldn't sleep while wide awake
Well, it would forever surely play
If not for you
If not for you
If not for you my sky would fall
Rain would gather, too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost if not for you
If not for you
The winter would hold no spring
I couldn't hear a robin sing
I just wouldn't have a clue
If not for you
If not for you my sky would fall
Rain would gather, too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost if not for you
If not for you
The winter would hold no spring
I couldn't hear a robin sing
I just wouldn't have a clue
If not for you
If not for you
In the end, Tommy and Kimi were alone.
"Kimi, I got a surprise for you" said Tommy and he gave Kimi an envelope. Inside were two tickets to Paris, France.
"Wow! How come you chose Paris?" asked Kimi.
"Because that's were I first met you as a baby at Euro-Reptar land. Well really a Sushi restaurant" and he chuckled a bit. "I got everything ready and I even got our passports too" he said. Kimi smiled. "Well were will we stay?" she asked.
"We'll be staying at the Euro-Reptar land hotel honeymoon suite" said Tommy. "And it will be no one but just you and me" and he wrapped his arm around her shoulders. They soon hugged
"Your simply the best Tommy" said Kimi happily.
"Better than all the rest" added Tommy.
So the two told there parents that they will be leaving tonight and so after the party, Tommy thanked everyone for coming and they soon took the limo to the airport.
