XO_Q`tor says:
:: Enters the room feeling VERY uncomfortable in his dress uniform::  Self:  They couldn't leave me a civilian one more day so I could wear something comfortable.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
:: waiting patiently for Sierra to appear, so she can walk in front of her, wonder why Crystal is so quiet::::
SO_Jewel says:
:: Standing next to Randi, quietly watching, never having been to a wedding before.::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Takes one last look at herself in the mirror as she rushes out of quarters, feeling just a bit late, and not wanting to hold up the ceremony.  As she exits her quarters, she bumps into the CEO also heading to the ceremony.::  CEO: Hi there.  ::Recognizes her from the crew manifest.::  You must be Cmdr.Sparks.  I'm Brandy Daniels, the new OPS.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::stands at the front of the room, checking over a few last things before they get started::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: On her father's arm, slowly heading down the corridor, thinking she was more nervous in renewing her vows then she was at her original wedding.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::stands with Ethan and Aaron, a small smile on his face::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::In Lounge, near entrance, waiting and trying to make some small talk.::
Host ADM_Knight says:
::in the lounge pacing, hoping everything will go fine::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: makes her way down the corridor, her dress whites sparkling but a sadness in her heart barely noticing the new Operations officer at first::
Aaron says:
ADM:  You're going to wear the floor right through!
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::reads over the PADD again, muttering the entire thing under his breath quietly::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
ADM: Ethan, will you please stop pacing! You are not on the bridge in a combat situation. It’s not like she can say no.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO:  You okay?  You look like you just lost your best friend.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::smiles as he overhears Aaron and Roz::
Host ADM_Knight says:
Aaron/FCO:  I just want everything to go perfectly.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::grins at Aaron as they both reprimand his brother::
SO_Jewel says:
CNS:  I just walk in behind you with the admiral's brother and stand there listening... right?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
OPS: Oh hi there. I'm Holly to my friends. :: holds out her hand :: A pleasure to meet you, Brandy.
XO_Q`tor says:
::Looks over the gathering of people trying to decide where to sit::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
SO:  Are you all right?  I thought you would be happy for Sierra?
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: As they step into the turbolift, she takes deep breaths, her hand tightening on her father's arm.::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Shakes her hand back.::  CEO: It's nice to finally meet you, Holly.  Are you headed to the ceremony?  ::Quickens her pace a bit.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
SO:  Yes, and I will be with Roz.
SO_Jewel says:
CNS:  I am... I just have never been to a wedding before, let alone in one.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
ADM: How do you think I feel? First act as a new captain is perform a marriage. Last marriage I was at was my own and even then, we'd eloped.
XO_Q`tor says:
::Picks a seat towards the back out of the way::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
SO:  Never been to a wedding?  Where in the world have you been girl?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
Aaron: I cannot believe he is nervous. Look at him. Jittery as a bug in June.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Smiles as she listens to her father who is just as nervous as she.::  Talan:  I love you father...
Host ADM_Knight says:
CO:  Couldn't think of a better way to break you in!  ::grins::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::grins himself, chuckling:: ADM: Let it not be said you aren't creative.
Aaron says:
FCO:  Tell me about it.  I've never even seen him like this.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: smiles :: OPS: Yes I am, in fact, why don't you join me?
SO_Jewel says:
:: Twirls her hand::  CNS:  Out and about and... well, working of course.  :Slightly defensive.::
XO_Q`tor says:
::Tugs slightly at the collar of his uniform:: Self:  These were obviously designed as some sort of torture.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
Aaron: Me neither.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: As the turbolift stops, she takes one last deep breath before stepping off the lift and heading for the lounge.::
Host ADM_Knight says:
::looks down at his chronometer::  Aaron/FCO:  Okay, we should be getting this show on the road.  I wonder where they are.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::begins to smile as she notices Q'tor tugging at his collar::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: nears the doorway and stops for a moment to prepare herself ::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: Thank you.  I don't know too many people yet, and I was hoping you would ask.  In fact, ::looks at her watch:: we best hurry, or we'll be late.  ::Makes her way to the entrance.:: I think this is it, is it not?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
SO:  There she is, wow!  Look at that dress!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
ADM: She'll be here. And judging from Randi's face, she's just outside the door.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~CSO:  You are absolutely beautiful Sierra.~~~
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
OPS: Please go ahead inside, I just need a moment.
Aaron says:
::whispers::  FCO:  You're exactly how my brother described you.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO:  You sure?  ::Looks again at her with curious eyes.::  All right then.  I'll save you a seat.  ::Smiles at her and enters the room.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Welcome.  Have you seen Holly, er, Chief Sparks?
Host ADM_Knight says:
Aaron/FCO:  I believe you two should head to the back then.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks nervously at Randi::  ~~~~ CNS:  Thank you.  You able to catch me if I faint?~~~~  ::Humor dances in her eyes as some of her tension eases.::
Aaron says:
::smiles and heads to the back::
SO_Jewel says:
SO:  You are right... it is... lovely.  ::Sighs::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::whispers back:: Aaron: And you are a complete surprise. ::smiles and speaks louder:: You heard the man, we had better get back there.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~CSO:  Absolutely not!  We need some comic relief in here!~~~  ::smiles back at her::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO:  Well thank you.  You are Cmdr. Ec .. ::stumbles on the name::  Ec .. Ec'Thel'lon.  Yes, Holly is right outside.  She seems .. preoccupied.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Raises an eyebrow at Randi::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Call me Ec', it's much easier.  The rest is just a kind of surname, sort of.  Thanks, though.
Tlara says:
:: Looks up at the redheaded lady::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Smiles a bit.::  CTO: Aye.  Do you want me to save you a seat so you can go check on Holly?
Aaron says:
SO:  I believe I will be escorting you down the aisle.  ::smiles::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Tlara:  Ok honey, now it is your turn.  Start down the aisle and remember to throw a few petals at a time. ::putting her hand on the childs shoulders to get her moving down the aisle::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::arrives at the back, giving Sierra a smile, then turns to Randi::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Stops beside Randi and looks from her and Jewel::  CNS/SO: My mother was right... you two are lovely too.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Please, that would be great, thank you.  ::Steps out the door.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: steps to the door and smiles as she sees Icky :: CTO: HI there friend.
 
ACTION:  The lounge becomes quiet as the music begins to play.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Thank you, but you have stolen the day Sierra.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::looks toward the back and straightens himself, setting the PADD down on the table::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Roz, are you ready, I think we are holding up this show!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: There you are, I was getting nervous.  Miss Daniels is saving us a seat right over here.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Quickly takes a seat.::
XO_Q`tor says:
::looks towards the front as he hears the music::
Tlara says:
:: Moves slowly forward, dropping flower petals as she heads for the front where her new brother was waiting.::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Turns to face the bride as the music begins to play.::
Host ADM_Knight says:
::stands at the front, near the CO and looks to the back of the lounge::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: I almost didn't come, but as long as you are here. :: moves towards the empty chair ::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CNS/Aaron/SO: Then we had better get moving.
SO_Jewel says:
:: Looks at Aaron, ready to take his arm and follow Randi and Roz.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::offers his arm to Randi and steps into the aisle::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::places her arm in Roz' and begins the slow walk up the aisle to where Ethan is waiting::
Aaron says:
::motions for the SO to take his arm::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Gives a warm smile as Holly sits down in the seat next to her.::
Tlara says:
:: As she arrives at the front, she smiles at Ethan, then turns and goes to the seat her brothers were saving her, beside their mother.::
SO_Jewel says:
:: Takes Aarons arm with a timid smile.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Follows smiling.::  CEO: ::Whispered:: You know that would be a mistake.  ::Sits.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: whispers :: OPS: Thanks for holding the seats for us.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~ADM: Breathe!~~~
Host ADM_Knight says:
::looks down at Tlara and gives her a smile and a wink::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Leans over and kisses her fathers cheek.::  Talan:  I think I am ready... I hope I am ready.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  I think we are here.  We stand to the left of the bride.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: reaches out and takes Icky's hand :: CTO: Thank you.
Talan says:
CSO:  A bit late for that statement is it not?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Whispers.::  CEO:  Any time.
Aaron says:
::starts down the aisle with the SO::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
Talan:  Actually, I think those were the exact words I said at the first ceremony.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: As her brides maids reaches the front, she follows along on the arm of her father, her eyes going straight towards Ethan.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::turns and waits for Sierra and her father to join them::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CNS: See you on the other side. ::moves to his place::
Aaron says:
::makes it to the front and stands alongside Ethan::
SO_Jewel says:
:: Goes to Randi's side and turns to watch her chief and friend.::
Host ADM_Knight says:
::his eyes lock onto Sierra as he watches her walk up the aisle::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Her breath eases as a smile enters her eyes.::
Aaron says:
~~~ADM:  You're holding up just fine Ethan.~~~
Host ADM_Knight says:
::reaches out his hand for Sierra::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: whispers to Brandy :: OPS: I hope you enjoy the Huron. She's a fine ship with an interesting history.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Slips her hand from her father's arm and intertwines her fingers with Ethans.::  ~~~~ Adm:  It is almost as the first.~~~~
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: I'm having fun already.  It helps to have friends, someone to take me under their wings.  This is all new to me.  This is my first assignment, so it's pretty scary to be honest.
Host ADM_Knight says:
~~~CSO:  It's better......we are with our friends and family.~~~
Host ADM_Knight says:
::turns and faces the CO with Sierra::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::smiles and looks around as he speaks:: All: Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here to rejoin 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.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
All: Into this holy estate these two persons present now come to redeclare their vows. If any person can show just cause why they should not be joined together – let them speak now or forever hold their peace.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
OPS: The Huron was my first assignment as well and as you  can see, I'm still here. :: smiles ::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
~~~They were last time as well.~~~ :: Looks up at her new captain.::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
All: Marriage is the union of husband and wife in heart, body and mind. It is intended for their mutual joy – and for the help and comfort given on another in prosperity and adversity. But more importantly – it is a means through which a stable and loving environment may be attained.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
All: Through marriage, Ethan and Sierra make a commitment together to face their disappointments – embrace their dreams – realize their hopes – and accept each other’s failures.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
All: Ethan and Sierra will promise one another to aspire to these ideals throughout their lives together – through mutual understanding – openness – and sensitivity to each other.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
All: We are here today to witness the joining in marriage of Ethan and Sierra. This occasion marks the celebration of love and commitment with which this man and this woman begin their life together. And now I join you together in one of the holiest bonds.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
All: Who gives this woman in marriage to this man?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~ADM:  I notice the Captain didn't give me a chance to object!~~~ ::grinning::
Talan says:
:: Looks at Cheyenne:: CO: Her mother and I do.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: Did it take you long to settle in?  ::Whispers.::
Host ADM_Knight says:
~~~CNS:  There's still time.~~~
Cheyenne says:
::Smiles her understanding and thanks at Talan::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
All: This is a beginning and a 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 individual boundaries comes the freedom to love unconditionally.
XO_Q`tor says:
::Listens to the ceremony as he looks at the reactions of others::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks up at Ethan, her eyes gleaming.::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
All: 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.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
All: By gathering together all the wishes of happiness and our fondest hopes for Ethan and Sierra from all present here, we assure them that our hearts are in tune with theirs.
Host ADM_Knight says:
::looks into Sierra's eyes and smiles::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: whispers :: OPS: Months as I remember, but it's like home now.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Sees the glowing face of the CSO and smiles.::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
All: These moments are so meaningful to all of us, for 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 to each other in all sorrow – to share with each other in all gladness.
SO_Jewel says:
:: Listening, is unable to avoid looking around the room and the most varied expressions she sees.::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
All: This relationship stands for love, loyalty, honesty and trust, but most of all for friendship. Before they knew love, they were friends, and it was from this 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.
XO_Q`tor says:
Thinks to self: " Awfully long winded compared to a Klingon ceremony"
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
:: listens the James speaking, concentrating on the words... gives him something to concentrate on::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
All: Marriage is an act of faith and a 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.
Aaron says:
::looks proudly at his brother::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
All: 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.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::tries not to giggle at a stray thought that entered her mind::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO:  I hope it doesn't take me that long.  I'm not a very outgoing person.  I'm trying to be, but it's hard when you don't know anyone.  It's like starting over again.  ::Focuses her eyes on the bride as the ceremony continues.::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::looks at Ethan:: ADM: Do you, Ethan, take Sierra to be your wife in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon her your heart’s deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her as long as you both shall live?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: Please share, I need to smile.~~~
Host ADM_Knight says:
I will.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
CSO: Do you, Sierra, take Ethan to be your husband in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon him your heart’s deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him as long as you both shall live?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
OPS: You'll be fine if you make a friend like Icky here. :: nudges him gently ::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks at Ethan::  Adm:  With no questions asked, you accepted me as I was.  With no regret, you loved me as I am. As you are there for me, I will always be there for you.  As you accept me, I accept thee.  With the intricacy of music and the spirit of love, I will love you always... I do...
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Our new XO thought this ceremony was long winded.~~~
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
All: What token of your love do you offer? Would you place the rings in my hand? ::holds out his hand::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Smiles back.::
Aaron says:
::places the rings in the CO's hand::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Smiles at Ec::  CEO/CTO:  Icky?  You mean Ec.  ::Wonders if Holly had problems pronouncing it as well.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: Compared to Klingon ones... yes.~~~ ::can't help but smile::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::takes the rings and holds them up:: All: 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 yearn.
Cheyenne says:
:: starts to bounce Braedon as he is starting to get restless::  Braedon:  Shhh... almost over with.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
All: May they grow in understanding and in compassion. May the home which they establish together be such 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.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::hands Ethan a ring:: ADM: Ethan, in placing this ring on Sierra’s finger, repeat after me: Sierra, you are now consecrated to me as my wife from this day forward and I give you this ring as the pledge of my love and as the symbol of our unity and with this ring, I thee wed.
Host ADM_Knight says:
CSO: Sierra, you are now consecrated to me as my wife from this day forward and I give you this ring as the pledge of my love and as the symbol of our unity and with this ring, I thee wed.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: nods :: OPS: That's him.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::hands Sierra the other ring:: CSO: Sierra, in placing this ring on Ethan’s finger, repeat after me: Ethan, you are now consecrate to me as my husband from this day forward and I give you this ring as the pledge of my love and as the symbol of our unity and with this ring, I thee wed.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
Adm: Ethan, you are now consecrate to me as my husband from this day forward and I give you this ring as the pledge of my love and as the symbol of our unity and with this ring, I thee wed.
Host ADM_Knight says:
::watches as the ring slides onto his finger.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::picks up an ancient bag from the table behind him, taking some corn pollen from within and sprinkling some on Ethan and Sierra: ADM/CSO: Now you will feel no rain for each of you will be shelter for the other. Now you will feel no cold for each of you will be warmth for the other.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Wraps her fingers around his hand.::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
ADM/CSO: Now there is no loneliness. Now you are two persons but there is only one life before you. Go now to your dwelling to enter into the days of your life together and may your days be good and long upon the earth.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
ADM/CSO: May you always share with each other the gifts of love – be one in heart and in mind – may you always create a home together that puts in your hearts – love – generousity and kindness.
Aaron says:
::quickly glances over at Dylan::
SO_Jewel says:
:: Interesting words.  Glances over at Braedon.::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
All: In as much as Ethan and Sierra 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.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::catches Aaron's glance, but his expression betrays nothing... Ethan must've told him a lot over the past few years::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::Randi gives a loud wolf whistle::  ADM/CSO:  Congratulations!
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
ADM/CSO: You have pronounced yourselves husband and wife but remember to always be each other’s best friend. And so, by the power vested in me by the authority of the United Federation of Planets, I now pronounce you man and wife – and may your days be good and long upon the earth.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
ADM: You may now kiss the bride.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Steps forward with a hint of smile on her lips.::
Host ADM_Knight says:
::embraces Sierra and gives her a kiss::
XO_Q`tor says:
::Looks around for anybody rushing forward with padded clubs::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Slips her arms around him and returns the kiss.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
ADM/CSO:  :Ok, that’s enough!  Time to kiss the bride's maid Admiral!
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::smiles, thinking to himself, 'well, that was painless,' as they kiss::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Claps.::  CEO: When do their clans pledge friendship?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::begins applauding the couple::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Claps her hands.::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Hearing Randi, feels a chuckle rising and is just barely able to catch it.::  Adm:  I love you...
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: They don't Icky. This is between just the two of them
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::joins in the applause, can't help but smile:: Aaron: the do make a beautiful couple, you have to admit.
XO_Q`tor says:
::slowly claps his hands::
Host ADM_Knight says:
CSO:  And I love you.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
ADM:  Now would be a good time for that kiss!  ::grinning up at him::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: claps politely ::
SO_Jewel says:
:: Looks at Randi and Aaron for a clue of what to do next.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:

CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Steps away.::
Aaron says:
FCO:  Yes, yes they do.  ::looks at Dylan::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Much. :: giggles ::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Looks at Holly sensing some apprehension in her voice.::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Leaving Ethan to Randi's tender mercies, steps over toward Dylan.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: If Randi claims one, then I want to have the honor of being the first to claim the same from you.
Host ADM_Knight says:
::motions for Sierra to walk with him back down the aisle::  CSO:  Well, shall we?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::standing on her tiptoes, she waits for her kiss::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks at Ethan::  Adm:  Just a second.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::gives her a hug, and a kiss, whispering in her ear:: CSO: Congratulations my friend. I know you will be forever happy.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Turns back to Dylan::  FCO:  Yes, you do.
Host ADM_Knight says:
::leans down and give Randi a kiss::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
ADM:  About time!  Now, go to the first lady in your life!
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Returns the kiss.  Quietly::  FCO:  Thank you a thousand times over... for now and the future.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Roz, shall we?
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Steps away and reaches a hand toward Ethan.::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
All: Ladies and gentlemen, may I present Mr. Ethan Knight and Mrs. Sierra Knight-Sky!
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Applauds the newly wed couple.::
XO_Q`tor says:
::Wary of all the kissing going on steps back further towards the back of the crowd::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::steps away and holds his arm for Randi:: Aaron: I guess you inherit me too... ::grins::
SO_Jewel says:
:: Moves to take Aaron's arm .::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Applauds again.::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::applauds again, anxious to get off the dais, glad that the ceremony was relatively painless::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
ALL:  I don't know about everyone else, but I am starving!
Aaron says:
::moves in and takes Jewel's arm in his::  FCO:  I'm not complaining.  ::grins::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: unconsciously squeezes Icky's arm tightly as the happy couple passes them ::
Host ADM_Knight says:
::grabs Sierra's hand and heads back down the aisle::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::chuckles:: ~~~Aaron: If I doubted you were brothers, I don't anymore. You have the same irrepressible sense of humor.~~~
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Grabs Holly's hand gently.::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ Adm:  Having done this twice, we never have to do it again, right?~~~~
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  You better watch it now!~~~
Aaron says:
~~~FCO:  I'll take that as a compliment!~~~  ::grins::
Host ADM_Knight says:
~~~CSO:  Maybe in another 25 or 50 years.~~~
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::jabs Roz in the side for good measure::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: What?~~~
SO_Jewel says:
:: Can sense, if not hear all the quiet talk going on around her and wishes for her twin.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~Aaron: It is... it is.~~~
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks over at Brandy :: OPS: Enjoying yourself Brandy?
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Her lips twitch::  ~~~~Adm:  You might talk me into that one... since you will have plenty of time.~~~~
Host ADM_Knight says:
::laughs::  CSO:  Yeah, like I'd have to really talk you into that!
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: It's my first wedding, Holly.  It was very nice.  If you have time later, and would like to get together for a drink or dinner or something, I'd love the company.  ::Looks at Ec.::  And Ec can come too.  ::Smiles.::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Raises an eyebrow.::
SO_Jewel says:
CNS:  Now we are going to the reception?  This is over with?
Host ADM_Knight says:
All:  Thank you all for joining us.  Now please, eat, dance and enjoy yourselves!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
SO:  I think the Admiral just answered your question!  Let's eat!
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::steps down from the front of the room to offer a hearty handshake to Aaron and Roz::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
OPS: Perhaps I will later.
SO_Jewel says:
:: Watches as the room swiftly changes from wedding to reception.::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Smiles warmly at her new friend, wondering what is on her mind.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS/CEO:  Brandy... Holly, come and let's all get a table together!
Aaron says:
::extends his hand to the CO returns the handshake::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: That's assuming we don't eat enough here.  It looks pretty well stocked.
SO_Jewel says:
CNS:  Sounds good to me.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::shakes hands with James:: CO: Very well done, Captain. Not one word out of place.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CNS:  I would love to Randi.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
Aaron: Are you joining the rowdy bunch? ::indicates Randi rounding up the group::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Looks at all the food.::  CTO:  That is for sure.  Looks like they ordered enough to feed an army.  ::Grins.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::points::  SO/OPS/CEO/FCO:  There is a table big enough for all of us with 4 chairs to spare!
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Listens as the music starts up.::  Adm:  I believe you owe me a dance... or two... or... many.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CNS: Thanks Randi, see you in a bit. :: turns to Icky :: CTO: What do you want to do......really?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::smiles:: FCO: Thanks, Roz. It was a bit different from my own, I must admit.. ::has a brief thought about his late wife and pushes it away, knowing this is neither the time nor the place to be sad::
SO_Jewel says:
CNS:  You forgot Aaron.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Or a Navy.  ::Smiles.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
SO:  No I didn't, I know Roz is taking care of him.  ::grinning impishly::
Aaron says:
FCO:  Care for anything to drink?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Speaking low.:: CEO: It's up to you, I'd like to stay, if you are comfortable enough.
SO_Jewel says:
:: Looks curiously::  CNS:  He is?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Are you joining us? ::indicates the group forming::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
SO:  Take my word for it, he is...
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
FCO: Ahh well, this is hardly the time for nostalgia... sounds great. ::smiles::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
Aaron: Scotch... but you would know that.
XO_Q`tor says:
::Feeling very out of place stands in the corner waiting for an opportune moment to make good his escape::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO/CTO:  I shall leave you two to discuss things, okay?  I would love for you both to join us though.  I'm going to head over to Randi, is that okay?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: Now, now... be nice. He doesn't know anybody here really.~~~
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: nods :: CTO: I'll stay for a while, but promise me that you won't leave without me?
Aaron says:
::hands one of the two scotches to Dylan::  Of course I would.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  No you don't, get over here and join the party.  ::Yelling over everyone so he can hear her;:
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
OPS: See you in a moment Brandy. I just have to talk to Icky for a minute.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::takes the drink and leads the way over to the table::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I thought we covered that, there's not enough people here to drag me away.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::looks at the Scotch:: Aaron: I was just having that thought myself.. time to go grab myself some of Scotland's finest. ::disappears to the bar::
XO_Q`tor says:
::waves his hands in front of him in a "no don't" motion and shakes his head::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Would you go get that Klingon before I have to make a scene?  ::laughing::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO:  Understood.  Catch you in a few.  ::Heads over to the XO.:: 
XO:  Good to see you again, Q'tor.  You weren't trying to escape, were you?
Host ADM_Knight says:
ACTION:  Ethan takes notice as a beautiful Betazoid ballad starts playing.
SO_Jewel says:
:: Shrugs and goes to get a some food, then takes it to the table earlier motioned to.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: I knew I could count on you.
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS:  As a matter of fact yes.  This.... uniform is extremely uncomfortable.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
Aaron: You were on the Nighthawk for a while, right? Then you will definitely know Randi's "guardian". Varesh?
Host ADM_Knight says:
::reaches out his hand::  CSO:  May I have this dance Mrs. Knight-Sky?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
XO: It looks perfectly fine to me.  You just need to move around a little more.  Care to dance?  That'll loosen it up a bit.  ::Grinning.::
Aaron says:
FCO:  Technically, I still am assigned to the Nighthawk.  I'm just currently on a special assignment.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Curtsies:: Adm:  It would be my pleasure Mr. Knight.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Of course you can.  Now, let's see what's on the menu.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::returns with a double Scotch on the rocks and takes a sip, glad to be off the stage and around people who really are his equals::
Host ADM_Knight says:
::takes Sierra in his arms as the start dancing across the floor::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::watches everyone come together and decides to go get some food::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
Aaron: Ah... then you will return. I'm sure Randi will have a huge pile of letters and things for you to take along.
SO_Jewel says:
:: Quietly observes the room.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Unless you'd care to dance first?
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS:  This is not fitting attire for a warrior, and thank you but Klingons don't dance.
Aaron says:
FCO:  I would be happy to bring those letters to my good friend V.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Dance? You?
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
Adm:  Tell me, will all your courtly manners remain or vanish with time?  :: Turns into his arms, slipping one hand onto his shoulder and clasping the other.::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
XO: Well then .. how about some food?  ::Takes him by the hand over to the food tables.::  There now.  I am sure they ordered some Klingon food for you.  Look .. over there.  Those worm things.  I think those are for you.
Host ADM_Knight says:
::chuckles::  CSO:  You mean it isn't tradition to have those vanish?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::watches Aaron for a moment:: Aaron: Just make sure you give her a limit, or you'll need a freighter to carry everything back!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I dance.  Dance well?  That's an entirely different question.
Aaron says:
::looks directly at Dylan::  FCO:  No problem!  Now, drink up!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: stands and holds out her hand :: CTO: I'd be honoured to have my feet stepped on by you anytime Commander. :: grins broadly ::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
Adm:  That is what I am afraid of.  ::Steps closer to him, laying her head on his shoulder.::
XO_Q`tor says:
::looks around for rescue and realizes there isn't any:: OPS:  very well, but it is probably replicated ghargh
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::smiles and takes a sip from the glass, laughing at Aaron over the rim::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Takes her hand and leads her to the dance floor.::  CEO: We should have done this a long time ago.
Aaron says:
::finishes his drink and heads to get another::  FCO:  Need a refill?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::takes another sip as he watches everyone mingle and finds himself glad to be among a crew that seems to be one great large family::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::glances over at Ethan and Sierra:: Aaron: I think I will need several. Lead on, sir! ::heads for the bar::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: I'll answer that after we dance. :: laughs out loud ::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
XO: I think they're still .. ::swallows:: moving.  ::Looks at the worms.::  You really .. don't .. eat that, right?
Aaron says:
FCO:  Hey wait, who's the Cmdr. here?  ::chuckles::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Smiles.::  CEO: Then I better try and do well.
Host ADM_Knight says:
::looks at Sierra::  CSO:  Well, I think it's time we started mingling with our guests.  We don't want to be rude hosts now do we?  ::smiles::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
Aaron: I am... but I tend to forget that.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: moves in closer to Icky's warm body, her hand clasped in his, her cheek feeling the warmth of his breath against it ::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::watching Holly, she is glad to see her laugh.  Randi was very concerned about her.::
Aaron says:
FCO:  So I've heard!
XO_Q`tor says:
::grabs a mouthful of ghargh with his fingers:: OPS:  Of course.  ::Puts it in his mouth his eyes gleaming at the Ensigns reaction::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
Adm:  We don't? ::Sighs::  Well, maybe some of that courtly manner will remain.  ::Steps up to kiss him.::
Host ADM_Knight says:
::leans in and kisses Sierra before they both head off in different directions checking on their guests::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::smiles as he overhears Aaron and Roz and thinks about his own recent promotion.. 'Commander' would've been hard enough to adapt to, but 'Captain'?::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::gets two more Scotches from the barman and hands one to Aaron:: Aaron: To the happy couple, may their love never die.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Covers her mouth, so he doesn't see her gagging, but makes a funny face she is not able to conceal.::  XO:  Hmm?  Maybe worms aren't the answer.  You *are* going to brush your teeth tonight, I hope.
Aaron says:
::raises his glass::  FCO:  Indeed.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Goes to check up on her son and finds her hand tightly clapsed by her half-sister:: Tlara:  Hello little one.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Shame on you Q'tor!  ::then begins to laugh::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Captain! Care to join us in toasting the bride and groom?
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS:  I have a file for cleaning my teeth.
XO_Q`tor says:
CNS: What?!
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::looks over, raises his glass and smiles:: FCO: I believe that's Aaron's job at the moment, is it not?
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Discovering he is fine and her parents enjoying spoiling their grandson, she heads for Randi, Tlara in tow.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Smiles broadly and just lets the dance flow, very happy.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: silently is led around the floor by the handsome tactical officer :: CTO: Hey you're pretty good for a tactical officer, but then you have to be fast on your feet right?
Host ADM_Knight says:
::heads over to where Aaron and Dylan are standing::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::catches Ethan's eye through the crowd and silently toasts him before turning his attention back to Aaron::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
XO:  A file?  For cleaning them?
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks curiously at Randi as she laughs.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Honestly, I learned a few steps as a child.  Practice in combat helps keep the "flow" up I guess.
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS:  What did you expect?  ::pauses for a moment to gauge the Ensigns reaction and then bursts out laughing::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Brandy, you have been had my dear girl!  ::continues laughing::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  Did you know she is actually BAD?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Passes the worms to the XO.::  XO:  Well .. in that case .. here .. have some more worms.  ::Grins at the CSO.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Do what Sierra?  ::puzzled at the statement::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks at Randi with humor in her eyes.::  CNS:  Ask her sometimes.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::turns to look quizzically at Brandy::
XO_Q`tor says:
::bows his head slightly to Ensign Daniels and takes the ghargh::  OPS: they are serpent worms.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
XO:  They should be fresh.
Host ADM_Knight says:
