The Power of Love

Chapter 1: The Wedding and Proposal

By the lake in Angel Grove, a beautiful wedding was being performed. Ashley was smiling at Andros as the minister continued on with the ceremony. Her maid-of-honor was of course, Cassie, and her bridesmaids were Karone and Kat. Andros's best man was of course, Zhane, and the groomsmen were Carlos and T. J. no questions asked.

Ashley was wearing white high heels, a simple but beautiful wedding dress, the necklace Andros gave her for her birthday, earrings her mother bought for her the night before, her hair was pulled back in a half-ponytail, the ponytail part was braided, and instead of a veil she had a tiara.

The dress flowed around her, made of pure silk, a back that was two feet long, it zipped up in the back, spaghetti straps, a ribbon was tied around her waist, and if you were standing right next to her you could see yellow.

Andros was wearing black shoes, black dress pants, a red cotton button down shirt, a black jacket, and his hair as pulled back in a half-ponytail.

Carlos, T. J., and Zhane were wearing similar tuxedos, but their ranger colors.

Ashley's bridesmaids' dresses were easy. All of her bridesmaids were Pink Rangers. The dresses ended at their ankles, they were made of silk spaghetti straps, ribbons tied around their waists, and they zipped up in the back.

Karone's hair was done in a French braid with pink flowers going through it. She had in pink flower earrings and around her neck was a necklace Zhane gave her on her birthday.

Cassie's hair was done up in a bun with pink flowers also going through her hair, she had in pink diamond earrings, around her neck was a necklace Carlos gave her on their first wedding anniversary, and around her wrist was a bracelet the Phantom Ranger gave her during their last meeting. The bracelet indicated that they would never forget each other, because of the Phantom Ranger's duties, it was impossible for them to be together.

Kat had her hair put back in a half-ponytail and a simple pink rose was in her hair. She had in pink diamond earrings that hung and around her neck was a necklace Jason gave her the day their daughter, Kristine, was born two months ago.

The minister then looked at Andros. "Do you, Andros Karovan, take Ashley Hammond to be your wife to love, honor, and cherish? From rich or for poor, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, until death will you part, as long as you both shall live?" He asked. Andros smiled at Ashley before answering.

"I do," he replied.

"And do you, Ashley Hammond, take Andros Karovan to be your husband to love honor, and obey? From rich or for poor, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, until death will you part, as long as you both shall live?" The minister replied.

Ashley gave Andros's hands a gentle squeeze before answering. "I do," she replied. The rings were presented and Andros took one ring. He held Ashley's hand up and started slipping it on her finger.

"With this ring, I thee wed," he vowed.

Ashley took the other ring. She held Andros's hand up and started slipping it on his finger. "With this ring, I thee wed," she vowed. Another prayer was said before the last words were said.

"With the powers invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride," the minister announced.

Andros didn't need to be told twice. He pulled her close and kissed her. "I present to you who witness this, Mr. and Mrs. Andros Karovan," the minister announced. Everyone clapped for the newly weds and then the reception took place at The Surf Spot.

Adelle walked over to Andros and Ashley. She then embraced them both with a smile. "Congratulations, you know when you two first walked into this place, I knew there was something between you," she commented.

"Thanks, Adelle," Ashley wished.

Andros then had her looking at him again and smiled at her. "How does it feel to be Mrs. Andros Karovan or as my wife?" He asked. She placed her hand on the back of his head and pulled him into a kiss.

"It feels wonderful," she replied.

During the celebration, the guys had removed their jackets since it was getting warm. However, as Zhane and Karone danced, Ashley suddenly felt Zhane feeling nervous about something. Andros held her hand when he saw the look on her face. "I feel it too," he assured her. She nodded before watching Zhane walk her new sister-in-law back to the table. Karone sat down and smiled at him.

"Karone, you know we've been through a lot through the time we first met. I am also proud that you had become the Pink Galaxy Ranger," he started.

Everyone stopped and watched the couple in front of them. Zhane got down on one knee in front of Karone, held onto her hands, and looked at her. "Karone, I love you more than words can describe. Will you marry me?" He asked. Ashley smiled as Zhane used telekinesis to take the ring out of his pocket and presented it to Karone. Karone smiled and held back her tears of happiness.

"Yes, Zhane, I'll marry you," she replied.

Zhane placed the ring on her finger and kissed her. Andros and Ashley walked over to congratulate them. Ashley embraced Karone with a smile. "This is a great day! Now we have another wedding to plan," she commented. Karone nodded and then she hugged Andros then Zhane.

However, in space, a woman was watching them through her crystal ball.

She had waist-length black hair, indigo eyes, three-inch long black nails, she was wearing knee-length velvet black boots, an ankle-length black dress, around her neck was a diamond necklace, she had in black earrings, she had a silver headpiece on her head, and her hair was pulled back in a French braid.

"Those Rangers think its over. You're wrong. I'll soon have control and Astronema will be back on my side as my right- hand lady. Her silly Silver Ranger and her family will have the choice of joining me or die. I will be Queen over Earth, Miranoi, and KO-35 and those pathetic Power Rangers are powerless to stop me. I Zafina am all powerful," she laughed.
