Squad Unit 19.
TWO HEARTS, ONE LOVE
Soon, it was the day of the wedding. And it was a beautiful one at that. The church had been decorated in white and gold for the occasion, but nothing too fancy. Set up at the alter was a trellis with white and red roses wrapped around it. The bride and groom were very excited that the day had finally come.
Minnie stood in the little foyer of the church, double checking her attire to make sure everything was all right. She was a little nervous; but it was the excited kind of nervous.
"Are you sure I look okay?" the young girl mouse asked. She was so excited that she and Mickey was getting married, she had to restrain herself from squealing with joy.
"You look fine, Minnie," Daisy replied, whom was the Maid of Honor. "You'll knock that boy off his feet when he sees you." Minnie smiled and giggled.
"Thanks."
"Are you excited?" A wide smile came to Minnie's face.
"I'm so excited, I can barely contain myself." Daisy noticed that same sparkle in Minnie's eyes that she always got when she thought of, spoke of, or was around Mickey. Then both girls let out a squeal - Minnie for being so happy and excited, and Daisy for being happy for her friend - and hugged.
"I'm so happy for you, Minnie."
"Thanks, Daisy." They finished their hug, and just then, Minnie's parent's walked over. Daisy saw them and turned back to her friend.
"Don't keep your man waiting."
"You know I won't," Minnie replied with a grin. And with that, Daisy walked out of the foyer into the church, leaving Minnie and her parents alone.
"Look at you," Marcus said with a proud smile as he looked at his young daughter. "It seems like just yesterday we were teaching you to walk, and now here you are all ready to get married."
"Daddy..." Minnie said with a smile.
"Where did our little girl go?" He picked up his daughter and hugged her.
"I'll always be your little girl," she said as she returned the hug. They pulled away as he set her back down.
"You'll always be a little mouse," he chuckled playfully.
"Dad!" Minnie said, then giggled.
"You look beautiful," he told her. Minnie's mom smiled.
"Yes, you do."
"Thank you," Minnie smiled. Margie stepped close and hugged Minnie.
"We're so proud of you, sweetheart."
"Thanks, Mom," Minnie said as she hugged her mother.
"We always knew you and Mickey would always be together," Margie said, casting a grin at her husband.
"Yes, we did," he said. "You two go together like peanut butter and jelly." Minnie blushed.
"We could see how much Mickey made you happy," her mom said. "You two always got along so well, and you never wanted to be away from one another. We know that you two are perfect for one another." Minnie smiled, thinking about her mother's words and knowing that they were the truth. "You've grown into such a beautiful young woman, and Mickey is a very lucky young man. You're marrying the man of your dreams, and we're so happy for you."
"Thanks," Minnie smiled. Her mother sniffed, and wiped her eye as she held her daughter's hands.
"My little girl is getting married." Margie could still see every bit the little girl she and Marcus raised shining in Minnie's young, innocent face. Minnie hadn't really changed at all. She looked the same as she did when she was crawling around as a baby with Mickey, just a little bigger. She still had that childlike innocence and still loved the things she did growing up. Minnie was still the same sweet, innocent little girl she had always been.
"Mommy..." Minnie smiled and hugged her mother. "Thank you. Thank you both." Marcus hugged both women.
"You're welcome, honey."
"I love you, Mom. Love you, Dad."
"We love you, too." Margie kissed Minnie on her cheek, then let her go. "Everyone's waiting," her mother said as she started for the doors. Minnie nodded. As she turned back to her dad, she took his arm.
"You ready?" he asked her. She nodded with a big smile.
"The end of the world wouldn't keep me from marrying Mickey." He chuckled.
"Just to let you know; your mom wants a grandchild."
"Dad!" Minnie blushed furiously. He started to laugh, and she began to chuckle, too.
"Don't worry, you can take your time on that one."
"Thanks. Mickey and I will take that step when we both feel we're ready for it."
Mickey was a little nervous as he stood at the alter, waiting for Minnie's dad to escort her down the aisle. He was a little nervous, but also excited. He took another deep breath, and glanced around the church. He wanted everything to be perfect. This was his and Minnie's wedding. She deserved a beautiful wedding, and he wanted everything to go smoothly. Oswald, whom was the Best Man, noticed his younger brother fidgeting a little.
"Dude, calm down; relax," he whispered.
"Easy for you to say," Mickey remarked.
"You okay, Bro?"
"Yeah, I'm alright. Just a little nervous." Oswald chuckled.
"You just have some wedding jitters. Relax, Mick, everything will be fine. You don't want to pass out on your wedding day."
"I just want everything to be perfect. I want Minnie to be happy." Oswald patted his half-brother's back and smiled reassuringly.
"Relax, Mickey. You of all people oughta know Minnie well enough to know that just as long as she got to be with you, she wouldn't mind if you and her got hitched on the moon. She's happy just as long as she's with you. You oughta know that by now."
"I know. I just want this day to be special for her."
"I'm sure it will be." Donald and Goofy, who were also the best men, were standing with Oswald. About that time, Mickey turned toward the church doors and watched with as Minnie's nieces walked down the center of the church, dropping flower petals. Melody and Milicent were the Flower Girls, and Mickey smiled as he watched them, thinking they looked cute in their matching dresses. Behind them, were his nephew's, Morty and Ferdie, whom were carrying the ring pillows. He thought they looked rather handsome in their tux's, though it was clear that they weren't that fond of them. The Bride's Maids, consisting of Daisy, Clarabelle and Minnie's sister, walked up the aisle next. Then Mickey heard Wagner's "Wedding March" begin to play and saw the doors open. He smiled ear to ear and instantly relaxed as he saw his true love, fiancé and soon-to-be-wife walking gracefully down the aisle.
His heart skipped a beat as he saw her, and instantly everybody else in the church just vanished. She looked beautiful to say the least. She put the word itself to shame. She looked so elegant, so radiant, so breathtaking. Lord knows she already took his breath away. She looked heavenly. Like an angel that descended down from heaven, and was now walking up the aisle to become his wife. He had to remind himself that this wasn't a dream. If there were ever an angel on earth, it was her. He felt a warmth fill him as he continued to smile at his bride.
Minnie's wedding dress was a beautiful snow-white color. It was a sleeveless style, and the bodice was simple in design. The skirt of the dress had three layers of fabric - the top overlapping the middle, and the middle overlapping the bottom - and had some small, gold bows along the ruffles of the top and middle row. It seemed to flow as the young girl mouse walked gracefully down the aisle toward her awaiting fiancé. Around her waist was a piece of gold fabric that was tied into a gold bow at her back. She wore white gauntlet gloves. In her hair, atop her head, were two small white roses, one in front of each of her ears, and a white veil that was attached to the roses cascaded down behind her head and stopped at her shoulder blades. She held a bouquet of red and white roses, and wore a loving and adoring smile. The young, little girl mouse was beaming with love and happiness as she walked up to her true love. As soon as she saw him, everybody else just vanished inside the church.
Minnie admired Mickey from afar the whole time as she walked up to him. She smiled ear to ear and felt a warmth fill her and she instantly relaxed the moment her eyes fell upon her one true love, fiancé, and soon-to-be-husband standing at the alter waiting for her. He looked so handsome, so dashing, so breathtaking. Lord knows he had already taken her breath away. If there were ever an angel or a hero on earth, it was him. She had dreamed of this day - the day she would walk down the aisle and become Mickey's wife - and now it was happening. She had to remind herself that this was real and wasn't a dream.
Mickey's tuxedo was made up of a white shirt with white cuffs, and a gold waistcoat/vest. The pants were white, and so were the shoes. He also had a little red rose on his left chest pocket. Minnie seemed to glide up the alter, and she and Mickey kept their eyes on each other as she stepped up to him, taking each other's hands.
"Wow... " both whispered in awe at the sight of one another. "You look amazing." They blushed, but continued smiling at each other. They were mesmerized by each other. A crowbar couldn't pry the smiles off their faces. Neither could stop smiling if they tried. Their hearts were thudding with excitement in their chests, but they were beating to the same rhythm of love and happiness. They were so happy. Everyone bowed their heads as the preacher said a prayer. Saying a quiet "Amen", the mice lifted their heads as their eyes met again.
"Dearly Beloved," the preacher began. "We're gathered here in the sign of God - and in the face of his company - to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony, which is commended to be honorable among all men; and therefore - is not by any - to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly - but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and solemnly. Today we join them in a very important moment in their lives. In the years they have been together, their love and understanding of each other has grown and matured, and now they have decided to live their lives together as husband and wife. Into this holy estate these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person show cause why they should not be joined together - let them speak now or forever hold their peace." The mice held their breath. If anybody would have said a word both mice would let them have it later.
"Through marriage, Mickey and Minnie make a commitment together to face their disappointments - embrace their dreams - realize their hopes - and accept each other's failures. Mickey and Minnie will promise one another to aspire to these ideals throughout their lives together - through mutual understanding - openness - and sensitivity to each other. We are here today - before God - because marriage is one of His most sacred wishes - to witness the joining in marriage of Mickey and Minnie. This occasion marks the celebration of love and commitment with which this man and woman begin their life together. And now - through me - He joins you together in one of the holiest bonds.
This is a beginning and continuation of their growth as individuals. With mutual care, respect, responsibility and knowledge comes the affirmation of each one's own life happiness, growth and freedom. With respect for for individual boundaries comes the freedom to love unconditionally. Within the emotional safety of a loving relationship - the knowledge self-offered one another becomes the fertile soil for continued growth. With care and responsibility towards self and one another comes the potential for full and happy lives. What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined together - to strengthen each other in all labor - to minister each other in all sorrow - to share with each other in all gladness.
This relationship stands for love, loyalty and trust, but most of all for friendship. Before they knew love, they were friends, and it was from the seed of friendship that is their destiny. Do not think that you can direct the course of love - for love, if it finds you worthy, shall direct you. Marriage is an act of faith and personal commitment as well as a moral and physical union between two people. Marriage has been described as the best and most important relationship that can exist between them. It is the construction of their love and trust into a single growing energy of spiritual life. It is a moral commitment that requires and deserves daily attention. Marriage should be a life long consecration of the ideal of loving kindness - backed with the will to make it last. Now, then. The bride and groom have requested to say some words to one another before we continue. You may go first." He gestured to Mickey. Mickey took a deep breath and began.
"When I first saw you, I knew you were the one. I know were just babies at the time, but I still knew it. The way you smile, the way you laugh; there are so many things about you that I love, I could go on all day. I don't want anyone else. I want you. Now and forever. No matter what, you've always stuck by me; believed in me. You've always been there for me. You've been there for me when others wouldn't. You gave me your heart, and every day I'm so thankful that I have you with me in my life. I love you more than I thought it was possible to love someone. Without you, I'm nothing. I love you, Minnie." As Mickey finished, Minnie had to wipe the tears of happiness from her eyes. His words made her heart flutter, flip-flop and everything in between. She wanted to throw her arms around him and hug him and squeeze him and kiss him like there were no tomorrow. But she would wait until a little later.
"Oh, Mickey..." she uttered, smiling and sniffling. "I love you, too." The minister gestured to Minnie.
"Now you may go." Minnie took a deep breath and started.
"Ever since I first saw you, I knew you were the only one for me. I knew it from when we first saw each other when we were babies, and I've known it every day since. You have and always will be the only one for me; my one true love. I don't want anybody else. I want you. Forever and ever. The way you smile, the way you laugh; there are so many things I love about you that I could go on all day. You've always been been there for me, stuck by me, and always believed in me. You've never doubted me. You were there for me when others wouldn't have been. You're my rock; my support. You're my everything. You gave me your heart, and every day I'm so thankful that I have you with me, by my side, in my life. I love you so much; more than I thought it was possible to love someone. I'm nothing without you. I trust you with my life. I love you, Mickey." As Minnie finished, Mickey had to wipe his own eyes, as her words had made his heart flutter. He wanted to hold her like there were no tomorrow.
"Aw, gosh... I love you, too," he murmured.
"Do you Mickey take this woman as your lawful wedded wife - to live together after God's ordinance - in the holy estate of matrimony? To have and to hold, to love and cherish her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, in sadness and in joy, to always be devoted and faithful to and forsake all others, to continually bestow upon her your heart's deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keeping yourself only unto her, till death do you part?"
"I do. Now and forever," Mickey nodded, smiling lovingly at Minnie as he gazed into her loving eyes.
"Do you Minnie take this man as your lawful wedded husband - to live together after God's ordinance - in the holy estate of matrimony? To have and to hold, to love and cherish him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, in sadness and in joy, to always be devoted and faithful to and forsake all others, to continually bestow upon him your heart's deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keeping yourself only unto him, till death do you part?"
"I do. I always have and I always will. Forever and ever," Minnie nodded, smiling lovingly at Mickey as she gazed into his adorable eyes.
"The rings," the preacher mentioned. "Would you place the rings in my hands?" The young bride and groom nodded, and removed the rings from the pillows Morty and Ferdie each held, placing them in the minister's hand. "May these rings be blessed as the symbol of this affectionate unity. These two lives are now joined in one unbroken circle. Wherever they go - may they always return to one another. May these two find in each other the love for which all men and women year. May they grow in understanding and in compassion. May the home which they establish together be a place that many will find there a friend. May these rings on their fingers symbolize the touch of the spirit of love in their hearts." The minister handed the rings back to the mice. Mickey held his bride's left hand and held the ring up to her.
"Read it," he whispered. She took the ring and admired it. It was a beautiful ring. Just as beautiful as the engagement ring he had given her. She loved this ring. She didn't want any other kind. She would hold onto this ring forever. Mickey, her Mickey, had given it to her and she cherished it. She then read the engravement on the band.
"To Minnie, my love, forever." Minnie wiped the tears of happiness that slipped from her eyes.
"Oh, Mickey... It's beautiful. I love it. I'll never take it off," she whispered with a smile. She handed him the ring and he gently slipped it onto her left middle/ring finger as he smiled at her.
"With this ring, I make you my wife. I promise to love you, cherish you, hold you, take care of you, comfort you when you're sad, make you laugh and fill your life with joy and happiness. I promise to be a husband and a friend, and I promise to give my heart only to you and forsake all others. I promise to always be true to you. I promise to never abandon, leave or hurt you. I promise to always be there for you and I promise to be faithful; giving myself only to you. I promise to always be loyal and honest, and to always trust you and stand by you. Today we become one. I promise to share the rest of my life with only you until death do us part." Minnie wiped the tears of joy from her eyes, feeling her heart flutter with happiness in her chest. Minnie took her groom's left hand as she held up the ring for him.
"Read it," she whispered. He took it and admired it. It was beautiful. He cherished it and didn't want any other kind. He would hold onto it forever. He then read the engravement.
"To Mickey, my one true love, forever." Mickey felt his heart flip-flop as he read what she had engraved on the band and he had to wipe his own eyes.
"Gosh... I love it. I'll never take it off," he whispered with a smile. He handed her back the ring and she gently slipped it onto his left middle/ring finger as she smiled lovingly at him.
"With this ring, I make you my husband. I promise to hold you close to me for the rest of time, sharing every day together and spending every waking moment as one. I promise to love you, hold you, take care of you, comfort you when you're sad, make you laugh and fill you with joy and happiness. I promise to be a devoted wife and a friend, and I promise to give my heart only to you and forsake all others. I promise to always be true to you. I promise to never abandon, leave or hurt you. I promise to always be there for you, and I promise to always be faithful; giving myself only to you and no one else. I promise to always be honest and loyal, and to always trust you and stand by you. Today we become one. I promise to share the rest of my life with you, spending every waking day by your side, until death do us part." Mickey had to wipe his own eyes, feeling his own heart flutter. They took each other's hands as they smiled adoringly at one another. The preacher began again.
"May you always share with each other the gifts of love - be one in heart and mind - may you always create a home together that puts in your hearts - love - generosity and kindness. In as much as Mickey and Minnie have consented together in marriage before this company of friends and family and have pledged their faith - and declared their unity by giving and receiving a ring - are now joined. You have pronounced yourselves husband and wife but remember to always be each other's best friend. What - therefore God has joined together - let no man asunder. And so, by the power vested in me by the state of Calisota and Almighty God, I now pronounce you husband and wife - and may your days be good and long upon the earth. You may now kiss the bride."
Both mice smiled at one another. Mickey leaned close to kiss Minnie, but she beat him to it; she lunged at him, throwing her arms around his neck happily and kissing him deeply and passionately. Now she could hug him, squeeze him and kiss him like there were no tomorrow. Mickey was caught by surprise at first, but soon wrapped his arms around her waist and returned the kiss. Now he could also hold her like there were no tomorrow. The minister chuckled.
"Or you can kiss the groom. That works, too."
The young newlyweds were completely oblivious to the cheers and applause from their friends and family as they happily indulged in their first kiss as husband and wife. And it was to both of them every bit as powerful, passionate, and amazing as their first kiss as boyfriend and girlfriend. After several seconds, both slowly pulled apart as their eyes met - deep brown and deep brown. They smiled lovingly and adoringly at one another as they held each other. After a moment, they remembered their onlookers, and pulled apart and turned to see everybody clapping for them. The mice turned to each other with a blush. They were so caught up in their moment that they had totally forgotten everybody else.
Minnie tossed the bouquet, which was caught by Daisy. Daisy then turned to Donald, smiling slyly as Donald blushed a little. The mice laughed at this. Then Minnie intertwined her arm around Mickey's and they began walking down from the alter, arm in arm. Shortly after, it was time for another wedding tradition... Minnie sat down in a chair, blushing.
"Do I really have to do this? In front of all these people?" Mickey whispered a little frantically.
"It's customary. You can do it, Mick. Just ignore her father giving you a death glare from across the room," Oswald replied, patting Mickey's shoulder.
"Thanks for the heads up," Mickey replied dully. Taking a deep breath, he stepped over in front of Minnie and knelt down. He looked up to her and gave a small smile. "Sorry," he whispered, just loud enough for her to hear. She blushed but smiled back at him.
"It's okay. I want you to," she encouraged, and held her right leg out a little. He took a deep breath, and gently slid his hands up her right leg, starting below her knee, and working his way up. Minnie couldn't help it, but the higher he went, the warmer she got. As he reached the garter above her knee, her heart skipped a beat. He gently slid the garter down her leg, making her quiver a little, and as he slipped it down around and off her foot, he noticed that it was a white, lace garter, then tossed it into the crowd. As he looked up to Minnie, both were blushing, but smiling. As Mickey stood up, he took Minnie's hand, and she stood with him. They shared a smile, then glanced out when they registered the laughter and applause. Glancing out into the crowd, they started laughing when they saw a red-faced Donald who had caught the garter.
Soon after, it was time for Mickey and Minnie to cut their wedding cake. The reception was being held outside, in the little garden of the church. Mickey picked up the knife and Minnie placed her hand on top of his as they shared a smile. Then, together, they cut their cake. They cut each other a piece, then faced one another. He held up a piece of the cake and fed it to her and she giggled as she chewed it. Then she held up a piece of cake and fed it to him and both chuckled as he chewed it. Mickey couldn't resist, and touched his finger to the icing on the cake, then touched her nose, getting a bit of icing on it. She giggled, then touched her finger to the cake, then touched it to his nose, getting icing on his, too. Then she giggled, and touched her nose to his, smearing a bit of the icing on their noses as both chuckled.
After they ate a little of their cake, Mickey and Minnie mingled with their guests, but stayed together most of the time. They stood side by side near the refreshment table, each holding a cup of punch, talking and laughing about different things.
"I love the dress you picked out. You look beautiful," Mickey smiled at his wife. She blushed.
"Thank you. I'm glad you like it. I love the tux you picked. You look very handsome," Minnie smiled at her husband.
"Thanks. I'm glad you like it." They shared a tender kiss and gazed into each other's eyes.
"Enjoying yourselves, kids?" They turned around to see Minnie's uncle Mortimer standing at the refreshment table, getting some more punch.
"You betcha!" both replied with a smile. Then Minnie walked over and hugged her uncle.
"I'm so glad you could make it, Uncle Monty."
"And miss your wedding, little squeak? Nothin' doin'." Then Mortimer and Mickey shook hands. "I'm happy for both of you. And you both lool great."
"Thank you," the mice replied in unison.
"Mind if I get a picture of you two?"
"Un-uh," Minnie replied.
"Nope," Mickey replied. Both said it at the same time. They stood with one arm around one another while Mortimer snapped a picture.
"Thanks, kids. This is going in my wallet. Well, I'll leave you two kids alone and mosy on back over to the table," he said as he turned and started to leave. "I'll see ya later."
"See ya," the mice said as they waved.
"'Little squeak'?" Mickey questioned with a grin, turning to his wife.
"Yeeaah, that was a nickname my uncle called me a few times. Not a lot, but sometimes," Minnie explained with a little blush.
"Aw, I think it's cute. And it suits you. You are a little squeak." He kissed her cheek and she giggled.
"Oh, Mickey." They shared a smile.
"Whaddaya think our folks and friends think about us postponing our honeymoon for a couple of days?" Mickey asked, taking a sip of his punch.
"I dunno," she shrugged. "I think some understand, but others probably wonder why." Before the wedding, Mickey and Minnie had both agreed to postpone their honeymoon for two days before they left. They wanted their first time sleeping in the same bed together to be in their own bed; not some bed in a hotel room. The next night, though, they had planned for something else... "But I'm still glad we decided to postpone the honeymoon for two days," she said with a smile.
"Me, too. Let whomever don't get it wonder."
"Yeah. Let 'em wonder." They chuckled and nuzzled noses together.
A little later, the mice shared their first dance together as a married couple. Mickey held Minnie's right hand and rested his right hand on her hip; she held his left hand and rested her left on his shoulder. Soon, Minnie circled her arms around his shoulders and he moved both arms around her waist as they continued their dance. "Lost in This Moment" by Big and Rich played while the young mouse couple danced slow and close, smiling at one another as they gazed into each other's eyes. Their dark brown eyes sparkled with the love they felt for each other.
"I love you, Mickey," Minnie smiled softly, gazing into her husband's adorable eyes.
"I love you, Minnie," Mickey said with a smile as he stared back into her beautiful eyes. They leaned close and shared a tender kiss, and after a moment, pulled away as their brown spheres met again. As they took a brief glance around, they spotted some of their friends and family also dancing. Donald and Daisy were dancing together, as were Goofy and Sylvia and Horace and Clarabelle. Oswald was dancing with his girlfriend and Mickey's parent's, Walter and Lillian, were dancing, as were Minnie's parent's, Marcus and Margie. They chuckled, then turned back to each other. They nuzzled noses, and continued their dance, their arms around each other, and their hearts full of love and joy. Words alone could never describe the happiness and joy the couple felt, or the love, admiration and trust they felt for one another. Their feelings were simply beyond measure. The chemistry between the two young lovers was powerful enough that it could create an explosion big enough to destroy every chem lab in the whole world. The fire of love between them was wild, strong and large enough that it could burn down every forest on the planet.
"Thanks, Mickey," Minnie whispered softly.
"For what?" Mickey wondered. She nuzzled her head against his chest with a happy and content sigh.
"For making me the happiest and luckiest girl in the world." He smiled, feeling his heart melt.
"You're welcome. Thanks for making me the happiest and luckiest guy in the world." She nuzzled him affectionately.
"You're welcome."
Later, as Mickey and Minnie walked arm in arm out of the church, their friends and family threw rice. The mice laughed and smiled happily as they walked over to Mickey's little red jalopy, which had some tin cans tied onto the rear bumper, and a sign on the trunk that read "JUST MARRIED". Mickey opened and held open the door for his wife, and she kissed his cheek as she got in. Minnie cuddled against her husband after he got in. Starting the car, they buckled their seat belts and left the church, heading for Mickey's house; their house. Mickey and Minnie were starting their new life as Mr. and Mrs. Mouse, and both knew it would be just as wonderful and timeless as their life as boyfriend and girlfriend. They were husband and wife, they had each other, and they were happy. Their romance was one that would truly last a lifetime. They didn't doubt that. They knew that whatever lay ahead, just like before, they would face it together; side-by-side and heart-to-heart. They would always be together, and nothing would ever tear them apart. The young mouse couple were now joined together as Mr. and Mrs. Mouse. They were partners, equals, a team; just as they had always been. Two hearts, one love. A love that would last forever.
As they drove down the little two-lane road to their home, neither could hardly believe it. The wedding was perfect, and they hoped their honeymoon would be, too. But they wouldn't be leaving for that for two days. Turning onto the driveway, Mickey put the car in park and shut off the engine. Then he got out and walked around to the passenger side where he opened the door for his wife.
"M'lady."
"Why, thank you," Minnie smiled, and stepped out of the car, holding the skirt of her wedding dress up slightly, and kissed his cheek. Then Mickey scooped her up in his arms bridal-style, making her squeak, then giggle as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Oh, Mickey." He carried her - her light weight being no trouble for him - up to the front porch. Once there, he dug the keys out of his pocket and unlocked the door. Pushing it open with his foot, he then carried her over the threshold into their home. As he got inside, they smiled at one another. "You're so romantic," she smiled, then kissed him. Pulling back, she smiled shyly as a blush came to her cheeks. "You know... I still have one more garter that you can take off..." He blushed as he adverted his gaze for a moment before looking back at her.
"A-are you sure?" She was deeply touched by his shyness and by him asking first, but she wanted him to.
"Mm-hm," she nodded. "I want you to." They shared a smile, then he carried her upstairs into their/his former bedroom, where he set her down on the bottom of the bed. As he knelt down, he was relieved that it was only her and him. He felt more relaxed, but he still felt shy about this. "I'm glad it's just you and me now," she said. He met her smile, and realized that she had felt that same as him; both then and now.
She pulled the skirt of her dress up to her knees and extended her right leg for him. He placed his hands on her leg a little bit above her foot, and slowly slid them up. Sliding his hands up her leg, she quivered at the enjoyable sensation. As his hands slid over her knee, he realized this garter was slightly higher up than the first one had been. He found the garter almost halfway up her thigh, making her heart skip a beat, and as he began to tug at it, Minnie quivered as his touch sent a pleasurable sensation up her spine. She felt much warmer now than when he first started. He gently slid the garter down her leg and removed it from around her foot, and as he finished, he couldn't help but notice that this garter was prettier than the other one.
"You're supposed to keep one, and throw one," she explained, as if reading his thoughts. "I picked out a plain one for you to toss at the reception. But I picked out this one," she pointed to the garter he held, "to keep."
"It is prettier than the other one," he said. She giggled.
"That's why I wanted us to keep this one."
"You're going to put this with your dress, right?"
"Un-huh. That's why I got those space bags - to keep our clothes in. In those, they'll be perfectly safe." He sat down next to her.
"You also kept some things to go in your scrapbook, right?" She nodded.
"You bet. I wanna make a few pages just about our wedding." He smiled.
"Can I help you with it?" She smiled as her eyes lit up.
"Of course! I'd love for you to help me." She leaned close and kissed his cheek. Then she remembered the pictures. "Oh, yeah!" She hopped off the bed and grabbed her camera from where Mickey also kept his. Turning to face him, she was smiling happily and waving the camera slightly. "I need some new pictures for our photo album." He smiled and stood, placing his hands on her hips.
"You got it, doll." With that, he kissed her on her lips. As his kiss grabbed her senses, she dropped the camera on the bed - they were standing just off the bottom of it - and circled her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss as she moaned, her tail twitched and one leg rose behind her. After a few seconds, they broke the kiss and pulled away a little. Then she giggled.
"Now let's take some pictures." She let go of him and grabbed her camera. They took some different pictures together; one of them standing with their arms around one another, one of her sitting on his lap and one of him holding her bridal-style. After taking a few pictures, she put her camera back. She then remembered her wedding present she got for him. Pulling out the blue rectangle box, she turned around with a smile. "Now it's time for you to open the wedding present I got for you." She walked back over to him and and sat down next to him.
"You didn't have to do that, Minnie," he told her.
"I wanted to," she replied with a smile. He smiled mischievously.
"Well..." He stood up and walked over to the dresser. She watched him curiously as he dug through it, and after a couple seconds, he stood and faced her, holding a black rectangle-shaped box. "I have wedding present for you, too." She smiled as he walked back over and sat down next to her.
"Aw, Mickey... You shouldn't have," she said.
"Go on. Open it," he encouraged, handing it to her. She placed his gift in his lap and looked at the box she now held. Carefully, she opened the lid and gasped at the contents. Inside was a beautiful gold necklace. It had a golden chain with a gold heart pendant that had a diamond in the center. Her heart fluttered in her chest.
"Oh, Mickey... It's beautiful," she whispered.
"There's more. Look on the back of the heart," he whispered. She looked at him, then did as she was instructed and carefully lifted the necklace from the box and looked on the back of the heart.
"To my princess. I'll love you forever. Love, Mickey," was engraved on it. She looked up to her husband, tears of joy forming in her eyes, and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tight.
"Oh, Mickey, I love it! Thank you so much! I'll never take it off. Never, ever!" He moved his arms around her and hugged her back.
"I'm glad you like it." After hugging him for a little bit, Minnie pulled back and kissed him, then held the necklace up.
"Will you put it on me, please?" she asked him with a smile.
"Sure," he nodded. She turned her back to him a bit and he raised the necklace to her neck, and gently, he fastened the back of it. Turning around to face him, the gold heart rested over her bosom, over her own heart.
"How's it look?" He smiled.
"It looks beautiful on you." She smiled, touching the pendant with her fingers, then wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Thank you." She pressed her lips to his, giving him a loving kiss. Pulling back, they shared a smile. "Now it's time for you to open your present." He picked up the box and looked at it. "Go on. Open it," she encouraged. He gently lifted the lid and gasped softly at what was inside: a beautiful gold watch.
"Wow..." he whispered. "It's beautiful."
"There's more. Read the back," she told him. He glanced at her then turned the watch around.
"To my prince. I'll love you forever. Love, Minnie," was etched on the back. Mickey felt his eyes water as he looked at his wife, then enveloped her in a tight hug.
"Gosh, Min... I love it. Thank you. I'll never take it off. Never." She smiled and wrapped her arms around him, returning the hug.
"I'm so glad you like it." Pulling back, he kissed her, then held out the watch.
"Would you like to?" She smiled.
"I would love to." She gently took the watch as he held out his left hand, and she slipped the watch onto his wrist.
"How's it look?" She smiled.
"It looks wonderful on you." He returned her smile.
"Thanks." He moved his arms around her waist and kissed her gently. Pulling away, he chuckled, realizing they were still in their wedding attire. "I guess we better change." She giggled.
"Right." As they stood up, she turned her back to him. "Could you undo the bow for me, please?" He nodded, and untied the bow on the back of her dress. She turned around facing him and started to remove her dress when he turned away, his face red.
"I-I'll go so you can change." He started to walk away, but she grabbed his tail, keeping from going any further.
"You know, you can stay and watch me," she pointed out with a sly smile. He was frozen in his place. "I'm your wife now, Mickey," she said with an innocent smile. "You can stay and watch me change." As he faced her, his face could have easily been mistaken for a tomato. She couldn't help but giggle. He gulped and adjusted his bow tie, which felt very tight at the moment.
"Uh, well, I, um..." he fumbled, trying to get his brain started again after she caused it to stall. She thought he was adorable when he was shy. Though she found him adorable always. "I, uh, thought we said we'd wait." She couldn't help but smile.
"Okay," she smiled. "We'll stick to our original plans." She stepped close to him and kissed his nose. "Thank you."
"For what?" he wondered.
"For being as sweet and thoughtful as you are," she said with a fond smile. He blushed.
"Aw, gee..." After sharing a smile, he spoke. "I'll change in the guest room." He got the space bag for his tux and got a change of clothes. She blushed as a wide grin came to her face.
"Can I watch you change?" He turned to her, blushing.
"If you want?" She felt her heart skip a beat, and though she really wanted to do so, she decided to give him his "wedding present" later. "Stick to our original plans?" he guessed with a grin. She nodded with a smile.
"Yeah. But I still have a special wedding present I want to give you," she said with a sly grin. He matched it, then started out the door.
"I have a special wedding present for you, too," he said, and her heart skipped a beat at the thought.
