D: "Yeah well do you have a copy or not?"

Tommy: "A copy of what D?"

D: "Divorce papers Tom?"

Tommy: "No I gave them to Georgia to send off."

D: "Well them let's hope Jude has a copy."

Tommy: "What happens if she doesn't?"

D: "Well then I guess it's up to you two to decide weather or not you want to stay married."

Flashback

Tommy and Liz had being dating for almost a year when Tommy decided to pop the question.

Day before the wedding

Tommy's thoughts: "Man I can't believe I'm marrying Liz. I have no idea what she sees in me but I know I'm one lucky guy to have her in my life and I'm not letting her go ever. I wonder what she's doing now?"

Kwest: "Hey T are you ok?"

Tommy: "What's up Kwest?"

Kwest: "Nothings up. It's just you looked worried like Liz won't show."

Tommy: "Well man I'm no good for her what the hell is she doing with me?"

Kwest: "T man Liz loves you as much if not more than you love her."

Tommy: "You really think so?"

Kwest: "I know so. Why else would she risk losing her job and reputation if she didn't?"

Tommy: "Oh shit D what's he gonna do when he finds out? Man I'm so dead. Not to mention my family, I can only imagine what Liz's family will think especially her father. Maybe this isn't such a good idea?"

Kwest: "Man snap out of it. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, just what Liz and you think and for some reason she is totally in love with you. So what if your families and D isn't happy they'll get over it once they realize how good you guys are together. So get you're arse ready and let's get you married already."

Tommy: "Thanks Kwest what would I do without you?"

Kwest: "Man let's hope you never find out."

There stood Liz n a beautiful white gown with her hair pushed back with strands framing her face. Her look was simple but she looked like an angel.

Tommy's thoughts: I can't believe she's marrying me Mr. screw up, what did I do to deserve her, I will never know. All I know is I'm going to spend the rest of my life loving her.

Celebrant: "We are gathered here today in the face of this company, to join together Thomas Lucas Douglas and Elizabeth Taylor in matrimony; which is an honourable and solemn estate and therefore is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently and soberly. Into this estate these two persons present come now to be joined. If any one can show just cause why they may not be lawfully joined together, let them speak now or forever hold their peace. Who gives this woman to be married to this man?"

Kwest: "I do."

Celebrant to Thomas: "Thomas Lucas Douglas, do you take Elizabeth Taylor for your lawful wedded wife, to live in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honour, comfort, and cherish her from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto her for as long as you both shall live?"

Thomas: "I do."

Celebrant to Elizabeth: "Elizabeth Taylor, do you take Thomas Lucas Douglas for your lawful wedded husband, to live in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honour, comfort, and cherish him from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto him for as long as you both shall live?"

Elizabeth: "I do."

Celebrant:

Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous.

Love is never boastful or conceited.

It is never rude or selfish.

It does not take offense and is not resentful.

Love takes no pleasure in people's sins, but delights in the truth.

It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes.

Celebrant: "Thomas repeat after me.
I Thomas Lucas Douglas take thee Elizabeth Taylor to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honour, and cherish, 'til death do us part, and thereto I plight thee my troth."

Celebrant: "Elizabeth repeat after me.
I Elizabeth Taylor take thee Thomas Lucas Douglas to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honour, and cherish, 'til death do us part, and thereto I plight thee my troth."

Celebrant: May this ring be blessed so he who gives it and she who wears it may abide in peace, and continue in love until life's end.

Thomas placing ring on Elizabeth's finger: With this ring I thee wed. Wear it as a symbol of our love and commitment.

Celebrant: May this ring be blessed so that she who gives it and he who wears it may abide in peace, and continue in love until life's end.

Elizabeth: placing ring on Thomas's finger: With this ring I thee wed. Wear it as a symbol of our love and commitment.

Celebrant: May this couple be prepared to continue to give, be able to forgive and experience more and more joy with each passing day, with each passing year. Thomas Lucas Douglas and Elizabeth Taylor, are now beginning their married life together, we hope that they may have loving assistance from their family, the constant support of friends, and a long life with good health and everlasting love. In so much as Thomas Lucas Douglas and Elizabeth Taylor have consented to live forever together in wedlock, and have witnessed the same before this company, having given and pledged their troth, each to the other, and having declared same by the giving and receiving of a ring, I pronounce that they are husband and wife.

You may now seal the promises you have made with each other with a kiss.

Tommy: "I love you Mrs. Douglas"

Liz: "I love you too Mr. Douglas."

Kwest: "How about we get out of here before D wonders were we got to?"

Liz: "Kwest why must you spoil things?"

Kwest: "Sorry guys. But I want to KEEP my JOB."

Tommy: "Kwest's right babe. But I promise to make it up to you later."

Liz: "You'd better if you know what's good for you."

Kwest: "You've only been married for what a minute or so and she's already got you on a leash. Man I never thought I'd see the day T let some girl tie him down."

Liz: "Hey I'm not some girl, I'm his wife."

Tommy: "Yeah Kwest she's my wife. Just you wait until you find the right woman you'll be exactly the same. Just you wait and see."

Kwest: "Man I'll never let a girl tie me down."

Liz: "Yeah whatever you say. You haven't met the right one yet."

Kwest: "Ok ok. Can we get back to work please."

Tommy: "Yeah let's go."

Meanwhile with D

D: "Where's T?"

Georgia: "He went out with Kwest and Liz."

D: "He did WHAT?"

Georgia: "He went out with Kwest and Liz."

D: "I heard you the first time G."

Georgia: "Well if you heard me why did you say he did what for?"

D: "I meant what did he go out with Liz for?"

Georgia: "I think Liz said something about seeing someone and Kwest went to offer support and to be a bodyguard. As for T you know how he is?"

D: "Yeah I know I only hope he has enough sense to stay out of trouble."

Georgia: "Don't worry Kwest is with him and we both know that Kwest keeps Tom out of trouble."

D: "I know you're right but I can't shake the feeling that something's going on between those two."

Georgia: "You mean between Tom and Kwest?"

D: "No. I mean Tom and Liz. I just got no proof."

Georgia: "Does it really matter just as long as they keep it out of the public eye?"

D: "I can't explain it G. I feel as if I know Liz or I have some kind of connection to her."

Georgia: "And?"

D: "And I've known Tom since he was 9. I really don't want Liz to become one of the many girls that Tom has lead on only to be tossed away, when he's had enough."

Georgia: "I guess you're right. I'll have a word with Liz when they get back."

D: "Yeah I think I'll have a word to Tom as well."

D's thought's: I only hope T's done nothing stupid like getting her pregnant, boy could that be a nightmare if that were to happen and if the press got a hold of it. I can just see the headlines now 'Lil Tommy Q gets backup dancer pregnant' that's all I need. I just hope that if there's anything going on that T is being responsible and God help them if the public find out. I would be forced to fire Liz and I really don't want to do that cos she's the best dancer we've got.

D was pulled out of his thought's by Chaz

Chaz: "Hey D you seen T around?"

D: "No I haven't. If you see him before me tell him I need to speak with him."

Chaz: "Ok. D is everything alright?"

D: "Yeah Chaz it's fine I just need to discuss some business with him that's all."

Chaz: "Ok."
