"I love you, Dad" Lisa said as the wedding march started.

"I love you, too, my little baby. You know if anything happens you can always come home" He said to her "Thank you, but I don't think that is going to be necessary." Lisa said as they waited at the door to the gardens for her cue.

"Just wanted to make sure you knew." He said.

They heard the cue they were waiting for and started the walk to the alter. Michael waited there for her, smiling broadly. They came to the end of the aisle, and stopped. "Who gives this woman in marriage?" The priest asked.

"I do" her father answered, kissing her cheek before handing her over to Michael. "Take good care of her." he told him, a tear rolling down his cheek.

"I always will." Michael answered, taking her hand in his and turning toward the alter. The priest conducted the ceremony, getting their "I dos" "With the power vested in me by the state of California, I pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." Cheers went through the crowd as Michael kissed his wife for the first time. They turned to face the guests. "May I present Mr. and Mrs. Michael Joyce." All the guests were now on their feet. Lisa saw her mother and father in the front row with tears. Greta was the matron of honor and she was crying also. Micheal led her back down the aisle and into her parents house.

"I love you, Mrs. Joyce." Michael told her, kissing her again.

"I love you more, Mr. Joyce." She told him "It is too bad we have to put a real honeymoon on hold until after the tour. But at least we will still be together. After the tour is over, it will be just you and me, we will go where ever you want." Michael told her. They were leaving tomorrow to start the eight month tour.

"I want to go where ever you are, love. That is the only place I am happy." Lisa told him as the guests began heading to the other part of the garden for the reception.

"You are a part of me forever, I don't want to be parted from you. How about we honeymoon at the mountain resort that you had just left when we met? It seems to be appropriate. If it hadn't been for that resort, I would never have met you." Michael told her as the made their way to the reception and their guests.
