Chapter 19: With This Ring…

July 14, 2002

8:00am

I woke up to sound of my alarm going off. I stretched my arms, got out of bed and walked to the kitchen navigating all the wedding gifts in the hallway. I got myself a cup of coffee and then realized I was getting married today. Then I realized I set my alarm for a reason, to go to the diner to meet Gloria and Cammie. I ran to the bathroom to take a shower, 15 minutes later got out of the shower, put some clothes on, grabbed the keys to my car and left the apartment. The dress was already at Cammie's house so I didn't need to worry.

I was the first one at the diner so I sat down at a table. After a few minutes Cammie arrived followed by Gloria. We ordered breakfast and started talking about how the rest of the day would go.

"Cammie, did you ask your uncle's friend about his limo service?" I asked her.

"Yes, he can take us to the wedding site and then to the reception site. His limos are the latest models. He's got a long black one he's going to use for us. I'm paying for it and Gloria's helping so you don't have to because he gave me a deep discount," Cammie said.

"Aww guys you both are the best. Thank you," I said.

"Did you guys get the reception hall you wanted?" Gloria asked.

"Yes, the medium sized room at St. Bartholomew's reception site. It seats about 200 so it's the perfect size for our family and friends," I said as we finished up our breakfast and headed to the hair salon to get our hair done.

1:30pm

Cammie's Townhouse

I was changing into my gown when Cammie's little girl Sarah came up to me. She was only 2 years old but she had her mother's charm and looks. She's going to be trouble when she gets older. Sarah wanted me to pick her up. She held out her arms as I scooped her up into a hug.

"Sarah, leave Auntie Vi alone she needs to get ready," Cammie said as Sarah held out her arms and Cammie took her back from me and put her in the playpen then came over to help zip my gown up.

"You look so perfect Violet. He's going to be head over heels in love with you," Cammie said.

"He already is," I said and gave Cammie a big hug. Then a horn honked outside.

"Oh! Our limo is here! Gloria, get Aaron ready the limo's here!" Cammie said as she grabbed our purses, Sarah's diaper bag and Sarah and headed downstairs to where the limo was. Gloria, carrying Aaron and his stuff and her purse, and I followed. We got in the limo and headed to the pier. We pulled into the small parking lot. Cammie and Gloria got out with their kids so they could take them over to where Judy, my grandma and Gloria's grandmother were so they could watch them. I stayed in the limo out of Kevin's sight so he wouldn't see me yet.

10 minutes before the ceremony there was a knock at the door. It was my dad.

"Hey, you ready honey?" My dad asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be," I said as I took his arm in mine and we headed to the beginning of the aisle. The pianist was finishing with the prelude as Paige and Rachel's son Jacob were finishing their march down the aisle. She started playing "Pachebel's Canon in D" and my dad and I were starting our march down the aisle. I looked around at everyone and then looked straight at Kevin. He was grinning from ear to ear with tears in his eyes. When we got to the front of the aisle my dad gave me to Kevin and whispered something to him. I didn't catch it but it sounded like please take care of her and treat her well.

Kevin and I went up to the minister who gave the blessing and went on about marriage and love and how we were all destined to find true happiness. The he started reading about the vows.

"Now we shall begin the saying of the vows. May I have the rings please?" The minister asked as Keith got out the rings and gave them to him. He blessed the rings and turned to us.

"Violet Lynn Sanford, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health?"

"I do," I said as I placed the ring on Kevin's ring finger.

"Kevin David O'Donnell, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health?"

"I do," Kevin said as he placed the ring on my ring finger. We both smiled at each other. I looked over at Gloria who was crying along with Cammie.

"Now with the power infested in me by the state of New York, I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride," the minister said as Kevin and I kissed as everyone clapped and cheered.

"Now I am proud to introduce to all of you, Mr. and Mrs. Kevin O'Donnell!" The minister said as we walked back down the aisle and to the limo, followed by the others. Once we were all in the limo Gloria turned to me.

"So, how does it feel to be Mrs. O'Donnell?" Gloria asked me.

"Wonderful. I think this is going to be my only marriage though," I said as Kevin smiled and kissed me again.

The rest of the night went smoothly as we celebrated with our friends and family and danced the night away. After the night was over we went back to the apartment and fell asleep on the couch in each other's arms. Everything was picture perfect now and we were happy, truly happy.
