Chapter 25: A Red and Yellow Wedding
Angel Grove Botanical Gardens, Angel Grove
June 27, 2003
12 pm
After getting their hair done at the beauty salon, along with their nails, and talking with the florist about the floral arrangements, Kim, Trini, and the girls went to the botanical gardens to start getting ready.
Trini and Jason had always wanted an outdoor wedding and since the park was already the venue for Kim and Tommy's and Carrie and Rocky's weddings they got stuck with the botanical gardens. But the flowers were beautiful this time of year which would make quite a backdrop for their wedding.
Trini looked at herself in the mirror after getting her dress on and sighed.
"I can't believe I'm getting married. I can't believe me and Jason lasted this long," Trini said.
"You and Jason were meant to be together, just like me and Tommy," Kim said fixing Trini's veil.
"Yeah, I used to love our double dates that we went on in high school."
"And we still double date."
"Not that much anymore. You have four beautiful children to chase after."
"Yeah, and pretty soon you'll have your own children to chase after."
"I can't wait for that to happen. I'm always wondering what our first child will be like," Trini said.
"It'll be perfect, no matter what," Kim said giving her best friend a hug.
Just then Carrie came in with Junior fast asleep in her arms.
"Everyone's starting to sit down. The florist needs to talk to you, Kim, one more time," Carrie said as Tanya took Junior from her, so her arms could get some rest.
Trini let Kim handle the floral arrangements because Kim had a knack for flowers and gardening like she did back in high school. She picked out the arrangements, the bouquets, and the guys flowers that they would pin onto their tuxedo jackets.
Kim soon came back with Amelia, who found her talking to the florist.
"There, that's settled. She just forgot where the smaller arrangements were supposed to go, which is strange seeing that I just told her yesterday. She is clearly absent-minded, she is," Kim said sitting down in front of a dresser touching up her hair.
"Maybe because she's 70, that's why," Tanya said putting Junior in his car seat on the table next to where Zenith's car seat was.
"Yeah, I forgot that she's that old," Kim said.
"Hey, she was the only florist who didn't talk back to us when we wanted to change the floral arrangements up so don't blame me!" Trini said.
"Yeah, she is a sweetie and does her job well. At least the price was decent," Kim said.
Almost an hour had past and it was time for the girls to line up for the procession.
Tanya and Aisha lined up first, then Carrie, then Kim, and Amelia before Trini. Trini lined up last with her father who was giving her away.
"Okay girls, let's make this a Kodak moment!" Aisha said as the music started and Tanya started to walk down the aisle.
Soon the other girls followed, and everyone oohed and aahed as Amelia walked down the aisle, scattering flower petals down the aisle.
Trini looked up at her father and smiled.
"You ready, Daddy?" Trini asked.
"Ready as I'll ever be. You picked a good man, Tri. He'll make you happy, I'm sure of it," her father said with tears in his eyes.
"He already has," Trini said as the music played again and Trini and her father walked down the aisle as everyone stood up.
Trini outdid Tanya, Kim, and Carrie in the wedding gown department. She was wearing her mother's wedding gown which was pure satin with some crepe fabric thrown in. She gave everyone the chills with that dress.
Jason couldn't take his eyes off her. He thought she bought the dress from a shop. He didn't know she was going to wear her mother's gown.
When Trini joined Jason at the front Jason spoke.
"Where did you get the dress?" Jason asked.
"Nowhere. It's my mother's wedding dress. I thought I'd change it up for a change," Trini said as Billy's friend Eli, who Jason and Trini asked to do the service, started to speak.
"The botanical gardens have always been the backdrop for many weddings but this one is the first I've done here, and it probably won't be the last," Eli said.
"Now for the vows. The rings, please," Eli said as Tommy handed him the rings.
Just then everyone heard a car door slam. Then a certain tall, blond Australian appeared.
"Did I miss anything?" Kat Hillard asked in her Australian accent.
"Kat!" The girls screamed as the guys whistled their praise.
"No, we were about to start the vows. Take your seat. We'll catch up later," Aisha said as Eli continued.
Kat took her seat along with her companion.
"Do you, Trini Mae Kwan, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health? Please say I do," Eli said.
"I do," Trini said as she slid Jason's wedding ring on his left ring finger.
"And do you, Jason Lee Scott, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health? Please say I do," Eli said.
"I do," Jason said as he slid Trini's wedding ring on her left ring finger.
"Now by the power invested in me by the state of California, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride," Eli said as Jason lifted Trini's veil and kissed her passionately. Everyone cheered.
"Now I proudly introduce you all to Mr. and Mrs. Jason Lee Scott!" Eli said as the crowd cheered again as Jason and Trini walked up the aisle, the wedding party following.

8 pm
Kim, Tanya, Aisha, Carrie, Kat, and Trini were sitting at a table near the dance floor watching Jason dance with Amelia, who was standing on her tiptoes in order to dance with him.
"He is so good with her," Carrie said, holding Junior.
"Yeah, he loves her and JT to death," Kim said, holding Brielle as Aisha held Bennett.
"Yeah, he's getting his practice in for when we have our own kid," Trini said smiling.
"So, when are you planning on trying for one?" Tanya asked, holding Zenith.
"In a day or two, when we start our road trip through Nevada," Trini said.
"When do you leave?" Kim asked.
"Bright and early in the morning."
"Since Jason is getting his practice in it's about time you get in yours. Hold Brielle for me while I go to the bathroom," Kim said handing Brielle to Trini as she headed towards the bathrooms.
The minute she was handed Brielle, Trini started talking in baby talk to the 4-month-old, who squealed with delight.
A few minutes later Kim came back to her best friend and the godmother of her 4 children rocking Brielle gently.
"Looks like she got her practice in," Tanya said.
"Yeah, she did," Kim said smiling at the sight.
"So, Kat, who's your date?" Aisha said, changing the subject.
"His name is Benji, he's British, and he's into doing yoga, in addition to dancing," Kat said.
"Where did you meet him?" Tanya asked.
"He's in the same dance company I'm in, we bumped into each other one day, literally, and he asked me out for coffee, and the rest is history," Kat said.
"Girl, he is so fine! He is quite the looker!" Aisha said.
"Thanks, sha!" Kat said as Benji came over.
"Hey, gorgeous, care to dance?" Benji asked Kat, offering her his hand.
"With you? Always," Kat said, taking his hand in hers as they went to the dancefloor.
The girls started to whistle as well as the guys.
Billy came over to the girls then.
"Kat's got quite the gentleman, I see," Billy said.
"Yes, she does. What about you, Billy? Who's your date?" Aisha asked.
"I have feelings for a certain justice of the peace," Billy said as Eli came over.
The girls were surprised to say the least.
"Well good for you, Billy. We're so happy for you," Kim said giving Billy a hug.
"Thanks, Kim," Billy said back as he and Eli went to the dancefloor.
"So, Kat's with a hottie, Billy's with the same, and we have pain in the ass husbands and boyfriends?" Carrie said.
"We are so lucky!" Tanya said sarcastically as the other girls laughed.
