No One's POV

It's been just over a year since Anya, Calysta and John III were born and everyone was in Cameron for two weddings. The first wedding was for Randy and Kinley. Kinley had her dress custom made for the occasion and it looked perfect on her. Gilbert walked her down the aisle to Randy.

"Today we have gathered in this place of natural beauty to be joyful, in celebration of the relationship of Randy and Kinley. By their commitment to marry each other, they are saying yes to love, yes to caring, yes to the family. May the spirit of God–which is in the blue sky, in the wind, and in the fresh smells of the Earth–enter your bodies, fill your hearts, and bless your lives. Have you come here in the midst of these natural surroundings to affirm your commitment to each other?" The minister asked.
"We have." Randy and Kinley answered.
"Please share your vows with each other." The minister stated.
"I promise to live with you, to encourage and celebrate your growth and fulfillment through all the changes of our lives, and to be your faithful husband. May respect for ourselves, for each other and for the earth continue to be the cornerstone of our lives together." Randy stated.
"I promise to live with you, to encourage and celebrate your growth and fulfillment through all the changes of our lives, and to be your faithful wife. May respect for ourselves, for each other and for the earth continue to be the cornerstone of our lives together." Kinley stated.
"What do you give to each other as a symbol of this pledge?" The minister asked.
"I give you this ring, and I welcome you into my life as the companion of my days." Randy stated as he placed the ring on Kinley's finger.
"I give you this ring, and I welcome you into my life as the companion of my days." Kinley stated as she placed the ring on Randy's house.
"These two people have been drawn together by their love for each other. May they practice self-discipline and patience throughout their marriage, for these are essential to lasting love. May they continue to trust each other, for trust is the foundation on which all love is built." The minister stated. "Since Randy and Kinley have pledged their love and commitment to each other before these witnesses, I declare that they are husband and wife. Congratulations! You may kiss the bride."

After the ceremony, everyone headed to the reception before Randy and Kinley took off for their week long honeymoon. Randy and Kinley spent a week at Martha's Vineyard before heading back to Cameron for John and Krista's wedding.

Krista wanted an outdoor wedding and the weather was perfect for one. Krista's dress was also custom made and Gilbert had tears in his eyes as he gave away his last daughter to be married. As the ceremony started, Krista gave her dad a kiss on his cheek and they exchanged smiles.

"With great joy, we come together to join this man, John and this woman, Krista in matrimony. This marriage is an event in the lifetime of a love. Neither I, nor all society, can join these two lovers today. Only they can do what they have chosen. They are joining themselves, each to the other. As they find union with one another, they proclaim that union today and pledge its future. We, by our participation in this celebration, do but recognize and honor their intention to dwell together as husband and wife." The minister stated.
"I promise you Krista that I will be your loving and loyal husband from now on. I will share with you all of life's joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, until death parts us." John stated.
"I promise you John that I will be your loving and loyal wife from now on. I will share with you all of life's joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, until death parts us." Krista stated.
"Each of you has rings for each other. Would you exchange them?" The minister asked.
"We will." John and Krista answered.
"Krista, come health, happiness, and prosperity, I will stand with you; come illness, trouble, or poverty, I will stand with you. Take this ring as a sign of my love and commitment." John stated as he placed the ring on Krista's finger.
"John, come health, happiness, and prosperity, I will stand with you; come illness, trouble, or poverty, I will stand with you. Take this ring as a sign of my love and commitment." Krista stated as she placed the ring on John's finger.
"As a ceaseless reminder of this hour, and of the promise you have made to each other, these rings also speak of the oneness you now experience as husband and wife. Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter to the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other. Now you will feel no loneliness, for each of you will be a companion to the other. Now you are two bodies, but there is only one life before you. Go now to your dwelling place, to enter the days of your life together. And may your days be good, and long upon the earth." The minister stated. "Because they have so affirmed, in love and knowledge of the other, so also do I declare that John and Krista are now husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

After sharing their first kiss as husband ad wife, John and Krista and all their guests and wedding party, headed to the reception hall. After the reception, John and Krista headed to Kokomo for their honeymoon. Now that both girls had been married, Gilbert felt that his life had been completed. He had 3 very gorgeous granddaughters and a handsome grandson. John, Krista and their 2 kids along with Randy, Kinley and their daughter headed back to St. Louis a week after John and Krista returned from their honeymoon.
