The Wedding And Adoption Days
The next day at Pine Hollow was the wedding day of Renee and Mitchell.
Elizabeth was acting as the minister as Renee walked down the aisle, straight to where Mitchell was standing.
"Do you Colonel Mitchell Hanson take Renee Lenoir to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Elizabeth asked.
"I do." Mitchell answered.
"And do you Renee Lenoir take Colonel Mitchell Hanson to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Elizabeth asked.
"I do." Renee answered.
"I now pronounce you man & wife, Mitchell you may now kiss your bride." Elizabeth said.
Mitchell leaned forward to kiss his bride as everyone cheered.
At the wedding reception just before cake, it was Stevie who had caught the bouquet.
Stevie looked at Phil shyly.
A few days later, Mitchell came in with Carole and K.C.'s adoption papers in hand.
"It's offical," Mitchell told K.C. and Carole. "you are adopted sisters now!"
"And, as a newly formed family," Renee said to the girls. "we'll be living in this house that is much closer to my work and much closer to your after school lessons at Pine Hollow!"
K.C. and Carole looked at the house in the black and white photograph and they gasped because of the size of it.
