A Med Force Wedding

[Doc Holliday]

They were facing each other. She had given her bouquet to a bridesmaid to hold so that she could take his hands. Her "Hi" was faint. He knew it was nerves. He was looking at this radiant woman through her veil.
"You look absolutely beautiful," he told her barely in a whisper although many around them hear him say it.
He could feel a light trembling in her hands with his own. The veil didn't give him a clear view of her face but he saw the nervous smile on it. If she was blushing, he couldn't tell.

It seemed like eternity as they faced each other while Harlen spoke. His words had power and strength. His words also had meaning and a message within them. But more than all of that, they contained truth, a truth that Doc believed in. Med Force Enterprises was more than a dream and more than a collection of medical professionals and scientist, it was also a family. Him and Isa weren't the first people in that family to marry nor would they be the last. Regardless, it was a family that he was proud to have created. When Harlen finally finished, speaking, Isabella gave her vows.

He stood quietly as he looked into her face and kept her hands in his. He absorbed her words as she spoke them. Nervous she was and everyone could hear the nerves. Finally, she had spoken her piece and now it was his turn. He was nervous too but he kept his voice strong but gentle like only an ambassador could. He smiled a little at first.

"I have been over this in my head about a thousand times," he started. "I did not write anything and it has gone through my head a thousand different ways."
He clutched her hands just a little tighter. Not hard but more in a re-assuring way. "Isabella, I remember a day when you entered my life. You were close to death when I found you." He snickered a little. "I even saved the piece of ship's armor that stuck in you."
The quip generated a short wave of laughter. He continued.
"I was alone. I was still grieving. I was depressed. You showed me what it is to be happy and to love. You showed me that I was not weak. You accepted my children, my bad habits and you understood that I had an Enterprise first...."
He softened his tone a little. "But it is easier now with you..." He looked to Jill, "....with Jill..." He scanned the crowd around them. ".....with all of you." He returned his eyes to hers. "I do not have to do things alone anymore."

"Isabella, I promise to love you until my last breath. I promise to keep you happy and to treat you like the queen that you are to me. I make these promises before the people here, the church of Deux but most importantly, I make them to you. I love you, Isabella, with every ounce of what and who I am."

With that, he went silent as he turned the ceremony back over to Harlen. With a few words, the rings were next.
