"You look gorgeous. Forgive me for sounding gay but the brown dress compliments your eyes," he winked.
"And that green is doing a wondrous things with yours," I laughed. Just then the music interrupted us.
First to walk was Veronique and Gervais (Flower's girlfriend and Talbot's friend from the Islanders). Having never met before their introduction as they started walking down the isle had us all holding back laughs. Behind them was Frank and an extemely pregnant Laura (Talbot's brother and sister-in-law). Sarah and Daoust were after that (Mils's sister and Talbot's friend from the AHL). Will and Alison were next (Talbot's brother and sister-in-law). I chuckled at the pair. Will was about 6'5 and 250 pounds while his wife was about 5'3 and maybe 130 pounds. Sidney walked down with Mols. Finally Flower and I walked down together. The whole was down the aisle he was cracking jokes through smile while I conspicuously squeezed his arm to stop him so I didn't break down in giggles. The flowergirl Michele and the ringbearer Nathan followed behind (Max's niece and nephew). As they sat Mils and her father made their way in. Everyone chuckled as Talbo began to shake from nervousness or holding back tears. Mils looked great. I looked over to Sid to see him looking back at me. I smiled but he continued with the intence stare. I looked back and our eyes locked as the smile grew on both our faces. We continue the stare until Talbot stepped in front of Sidney to receive Mile letting me pay attention again. (Author's note- I made up Talbot's sister-in-laws and niece and nephew. I know he has two older brothers, Will and Frank, and it just made it easier if they had wives and kids.)
The ceremony was just to be expected- hilarious. Mile and Talbo purposefully picked a preacher who would make jokes and they wrote their own vows.
"Do you Maxime Talbot take Mile Elisia Santiago for your lawful wedded wife, to live in this wonderful city of Pittsburgh if you get a contract I'm looking at you Ray Shero?" Pointed look at the Pens GM. "Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish her from this day forward, forsaking all the 'puck-' well you know, keeping only unto her for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do and seriously Ray... Wedding present?" he winked.
"Do you Mile Elisia Santiago take Maxime Talbot for your lawful wedded husband, to live in his fart and cheese smell infested house? Will you hounor, comfort when the 'Ovechkin's a douche' comment comes back to haunt him, and cherish him from this day forward, forsake all others, keeping only unto him as long as you can stand him before you die?"
"She does," Talbot answered which was met with a swift hit to the back of the head.
"Is it to late to say no?"
"Yep, you already signed the papers," the preacher laughed.
"Fineee, I do."
Now was the song they asked me to play. As I sang 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight,' which was another joke within the wedding, seriously a Disney song, Talbo and Mils procedeed to give their mother flowers. After that was over we all took our places back at the alter.
"The bride and groom have decided to write their own vowels. You know, since they both have such a way with words..." everyone laughed with the preacher.
Talbot's vows went first, "Now it couldn't be my wedding without some Dr. Seuss and I worked really hard on this so here it goes-
Congratulations!
Today is our day,
We're off to Great Places!
We're off and away!
I've got brains in my head,
You got to many shoes.
We can steer ourselves
any direction our we choose.
No longer on our own. And we feel what we feel.
And WE are the ones who'll decide where we'll go.
We'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over without a care.
About some we'll say, "I don't choose to go there."
With my head full of brains, and your to many shoes,
we're to perfect to go down any not-so-good street.
And we may not find any
we'll want to go down.
In that case, of course,
we'll head straight out of town.
It's opener there
in the wide open air.
Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as loving
and carefree as you.
And when things start to happen
don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
I'll always be there for you.
OH!
THE PLACES WE'LL GO!
We're on our way!
We'll be seeing great sites!
I won't join the Flyers!
their team literally bites.
You won't lag behind, because I love you to much.
You'll be my wife, I'll treat you as such.
Wherever we fly, we'll be best of the best.
Wherever we go, we will top all the rest.
Except when we don't.
Because, sometimes, we won't.
I'm sorry to say so
but, sadly, it's true
that Bang-ups
and Hang-ups
can happen to us.
I can get all hung up
in a career that I love.
And your not going to want some of what it brings.
You're not always going to like it when push comes to shove.
I'll come back from a road trip
with an unpleasant bump.
And chances are, then,
that one of us will be in a slump.
And when you're in a slump
the others not in for much fun.
Un-slumping someone
is not easily done.
We will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
Some windows are lighted. But mostly they're dark.
A place that could sprain both elbow and chin!
Do we dare stay out? Do we dare go in?
How much can we lose? How much can we win?
And IF we should go in, should we turn left or right...
or right-and-three quarters? Or maybe not quite?
Or go around the back and sneak from behind?
Simple it's not, I'm afraid we will find,
for a mind-maker-upper to make up their mind."
At this point Mils started her 'vows'- "We split the book in half," she giggled, "I told him to make something of the first half while I did something with the second. So ya..-
We can get so confused
that we'll start in to race
down long and wiggled roads at a breaking-kneck pace
and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear to a most usless place
The Waiting Place...
...for people just waiting.
Waiting for a GM to choose
or a deal to come, or an owner to choose
or the the willingness to leave to come, or the pain of leaving to go
or the phone to ring, or the news to show
or waiting around for a Yes or a No
or waiting for your contract to grow.
Waiting for a client
or waiting for your work load to not seem so giant
or waiting around for a Friday night
or waiting perhaps, for a better job
or a an easier room to decorate, or someone who's not such a slob
or an important building, or a high paying office
or somewhere someone is just living, or that one time the room looks flawless.
Everyone is just waiting.
NO!
That's not for us!
Somehow we'll escape
all that waiting and staying.
We'll find the bright places
where are kids can have fun playing.
Oh, the places we'll go! There is fun to be done!
There are points to be scored. And games to be won.
And the magical things you can do with that puck
will make you the winning-est winner of all.
Fame! You'll be as famous as famous can be,
with the whole wide world watching you on TV.
Except when they don't.
Because, sometimes, they won't.
I'm afraid that some times
you'll play lonely games too.
Games you can't win
'cause you'll play against me.
All alone!
Whether you like it or not.
Alone will be something
you'll be quite a lot.
And when you're alone, theres a very good chance
you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.
There are some, down the road between hither and yon.
that can scare you so much you won't want to go on.
But on you will go
cause you know I'll be there.
On you will go
cause I'll be waiting for you.
On you will go
cause I love you.
Onward up many
a frightening journey,
though your arms may get sore
and your sneakers may leak.
On and on you will hike.
And I know you'll hike far
and face up to your problems
whatever they are.
You'll get mixed up of course,
as you already know.
You'll get mixed up
with many strange birds as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with great care and tact
And remember that's life's
just one Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget I love you forever.
And we'll get through whatever.
Will we succeed?
Yes! We will indeed!
(The statistics do not show a garantee!)
KID WE"LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!
So...
Today is our day!
Our mountain is waiting.
So... let's get on our way!"
"Who has the rings?"
"Um.. I do.. somewhere," Flower frantically searched his pockets, "Oh, here."
"May this ring be blessed so that he who gives it and she who wears it may abide in peace, and continue in love until life's end."
"With this ring I thee wed,"Talbo smiled as he slipped the rings onto Mils finger.
"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."
"With this ring I thee wed," and the ring was slipped onto Talbot's finger. They both had tears in their eyes.
"May this couple be prepared to continue to give, be able to forgive and experience more and more joy and laughter with each passing day, with each passing year. Maxime Talbot and Mile Elisia Santiago, 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 Maxime and Mile 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 a kiss."
They kissed and everyone awed and cried.
As they pulled away, ruining the special moment, Talbot squelled, "COOTIES!!"
"Ladies and Gentleman I present you with the lovely couple, Mr. and Mrs. Maxime Talbot," with that they started down the aisle. Flower and I were next. I hugged Mile and the second I pulled away an arm went around my waist pulling me to the side of the room.
"I love you Malana," he said our foreheads touching.
"The wedding got you in a mood didn't it?" I chuckled, "I love you Sidney."
