CO_Captain_Horn says:
Crowd: On behalf of our brides and their grooms, I thank you all for coming to this joyful time in their lives.
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The guests all take their seats, all talking ceasing and only the sounds of the ocean are heard.
CO_Captain_Horn says:
All: Marriage is not a ritual or an end.  It is a long, intricate, intimate dance together and nothing matters more than your own sense of balance and your choice of partner.
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::smiles proudly as he listens to the COs words::
Zen says:
:: Leans forward to listen and see better.::
CO_Captain_Horn says:
Brides/Grooms: You stand here today making the most solemn of any vows you will ever make.  By taking your lover as your spouse, you are promising to always put them before yourself and to love them regardless of what may come.
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
::Squeezes Logan's hand as the CO speaks.::
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
::listens to the CO, smiling::
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::smiles at his bride::
CO_Captain_Horn says:
All: There is a poem that is meaningful to these two couples.  One that they have desired to share with you now.
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
::Is beaming.::
CO_Captain_Horn says:
All: Love is so very special, Yet can make you feel so lost, It can arrive just like the springtime, And melt away like morning frost, You must find ways to nurture, Always grow your love with care, Never ever take for granted, The love that you both share
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
::is all ears at this point::
CO_Captain_Horn says:
All: Mistakes are bound to happen, You may hurt each other's heart, Yet don't give up to easily, It will tear your love apart, Love resembles a bright flame, That lights a dark starry night, Never ever let this flame burn down, Rekindle with all your might.
CO_Captain_Horn says:
All: Take a moment every day, Look deep into each other's eyes, Never hesitate to show affection, Small gestures will keep a love alive.  Talk openly about your feelings, Take time to show that you care, Treasure each and every moment, Because to find true love is rare
CO_Captain_Horn says:
All: Is there anyone that has reason why either of these couple shouldn't be married today?
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
::Looks deep into Logan's eyes feeling that they are becoming more and more one.::
CO_Captain_Horn says:
CEO/CMO: Falor, Logan, do you love these women and agree to become their husband's today?
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
::looks at Rodos ready to say her words::
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
CO/FCO: Very much so.
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::looks into Millicent’s eyes, then at the CO:: CO: I do, undoubtedly.
CO_Captain_Horn says:
CNS/FCO: Millicent, Amber, do you love these men and agree to become their wives today?
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
CO/CMO: I do.
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
::looks at Falor, grinning:: CO/CEO: For now and always.
CO_Captain_Horn says:
All: The couples have written their own vows.  I guess we'll let the Commander go first. ::grins:: FCO: Amber?
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
CMO: Logan, I feel your touch, my Imzadi, the spontaneous song of your love for me.
It sounds with a soft tap, a playful swat, a pure embrace.  And in your silent tones you sing of the Spirit's tie.
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
CMO: Here we stand together, our union in His kingdom displayed by thoughtful hands, the bond in the work shown by the closeness of our walk, And in this chilly, violent world, we warm and guard ourselves with the other's care, throwing off our fears in playful games of silly rest.
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
CMO: Yet in the deepest cavity of our heart, the place where feelings pass the realm of words, we simply savor the gifts of our loving God.  Let us now share His music, the unspoken chords and the fluid melodies, the mysterious power to draw our spirits near, and pull us toward the One who brought us close.
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
CMO: Logan, I love you with all my heart and all my being.  And today we are becoming ONE with each other.  We will be closer than ever and we will continue to grow near to each other.  And in Today's galaxy it is our LOVE that will keep us going.
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
CMO: I promise to honor you and love you forever and ever until death pulls us apart.  I will standby you and respect you my Imzadi.
CO_Captain_Horn says:
All: We will let the ladies go first. ::smiles:: CNS: Millicent?
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
CEO: Falor.  I believe Shakespeare wrote one of the finest definitions of love in his 116th sonnet. "Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds or bends with the remover to remove. O no!  It is an ever fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken." Our love has had its share of tempests and it is as steadfast as the day I first declared it.
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
CEO: On this night, my promise to you is this. Through all of life's tempests I will be the safe harbor to which you return. I will honor you above all others. I will stand with you in the face of life's greatest joys and deepest sorrows. My life and my love are yours until the last breath leaves my body. All I ask in return is the answer to this simple question. Will you be my partner, my friend, and my lover from now until that day?
CO_Captain_Horn says:
CMO: Logan?
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
FCO: Amber, you are the most amazing woman I know. So the reason why we’re here tonight is simple. I want to be your husband, I want you to be my wife, I don’t have much to give you but what I've got means everything, It's my last name.
CO_Captain_Horn says:
CEO: Falor?
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
CNS: You've shown me parts of myself that I feared to look at on my own.
You've understood my words before they've left my mouth.
You've been my life, my love, my reality and my dreams.
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
CNS: For this, Millicent Andrews, I promise to love you truly and unconditionally,
through good times and bad, down whatever path life may take us, for
as long as we both shall live.
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
::tears up::
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
::A tear rolls down her face as Logan speaks directly from her heart to her, short, sweet and simple.::
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::smiles nervously feeling like he blew it::
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::feels the knot in his stomach tighten even more::
CO_Captain_Horn says:
All: For generations, the Terran culture has shown the bond of marriage through the giving and receiving of rings.  The ring has no seam.  It goes on in a continuous circle the way the love of one wraps around the other.
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
::Amber is smiling at Logan and holding his hands tenderly with much love.::
CO_Captain_Horn says:
All: So, today, Amber, Millicent, Logan, and Falor have chosen to give and receive rings as a sign of their love and their bond.
CO_Captain_Horn says:
EO: The rings please?
EO_Ens_Dag says:
::Takes out the rings and hands them to the men::

::has the rings for the girls in her hand::
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:

FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
CMO: With this ring, I thee wed, Everything I have and everything I am, I give to you.  ::Finishes sliding the ring on.::
CO_Captain_Horn says:
All: On a ship such as ours, we learn much of different people and different cultures.  In honor of Rodos' Bajoran heritage, this traditional blessing is given for Falor and Millicent today.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::looks at the ring and smiles at his bride::
CO_Captain_Horn says:
CEO/CNS: Bore ah pre arrow key. Toll ah ta en para boresh. Pre ah Rodos Falor, pre ah Millicent Andrews. Abrem. Varo ay tem.
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:

CO_Captain_Horn says:
All: With the promises of the vows and the giving and receiving of the rings, you have pledged yourselves to each other.  It is my great pleasure to announce that you are husbands and wives.
CO_Captain_Horn says:
Grooms: You may kiss your brides.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::lifts Amber's veil and kisses her deeply::
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::smiles as he puts his arms around Millicent and kisses her passionately::

::Kisses Logan passionately.::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  Upon their kiss, Falor's Tyro-class ship flies over head, followed by fireworks that brightly illuminating the waters, at the same time, the red alert klaxon blends in with the sounds.
