Mrs. Abbott and the Doctor

A Song for You

Before anyone knew it, the wedding day is here and everyone in town is taking their seats to watch the ceremony. Marci was the last person to take her seat letting Sebastian know to start playing his keyboard to get the ceremony started.

Whether it was fate or the world thought she needed to suffer more, but the seat she took was next to Sam. She bit the inside of her lip to keep her from imploding. Marci's thoughts ran rampant thinking how good he looks dressed up wanting to compliment him but then shutting that idea down watching Lewis take his position under the arch.

"Hey," A whisper spooked her, "Your shoes are cool." Sam quietly smiles at her.

Marci bashful smiles glancing down at her checkered sneakers, "Thanks." She whispered realizing that the other women were wearing nice shoes but it didn't bother her.

Harvey, Maru, and Emily marched their up to the alter and shortly after taking their spots, Lewis announces to stand in honor of the bride. Sebastian changed his song to the wedding march as Jack and Adella walk down the aisle. As they got closer to the floral arch, Harvey couldn't help but wipe his tear filled eyes watching his soon-to-be wife marching closer to them.

Jack kissed her cheek before taking the open seat next to his niece before Lewis said everyone can sit back down again.

"We are gathered here today to join these two in holy matrimony," Lewis starts off, "When Adella first came into the valley, we didn't think she would fit into our close-knit community, but in actuality she brought us all closer together." He finishes then turns to Harvey, "If you'll repeat after me, 'I, Harvey, take thee, Adella.'"

"I, Harvey, take thee, Adella, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health," Harvey reached out to hold her hands, "For richer or poorer, to love and to cherish, from this day forward until death do us part." He repeated grinning letting a few happy tears trail down his cheek.

Maru discreetly handed him a tissue so he can clean his face.

"I, Adella, take thee, Harvey, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health," She repeats smiling and gently squeezes his hands, "For richer or poorer, to love and to cherish, from this day forward until death do us part." Adella squeaked holding back her tears.

"By the power invested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Harvey steps forward and gently lifts up her chin for the ceremonial kiss. Everyone cheered as they glazed at each other taking in the moment knowing things will be different from here on out.

Once everyone has had their chance to eat some of wonderful food Gus had provided, it was time for Adella and Harvey first dance as a newlywed couple. As they took to the dance floor, Sam had set up a little stage area by it and did a mic check before speaking into it.

"Will everyone direct their attention to the dance floor for the First Dance?" He announced grabbing his guitar, "Before I begin, I would like to let the new Mrs. Abbott know that Doc asked me to write a song about how you mean to him for your special day. I hope you guys like it." Sam grinned and started strumming.

The couple slow danced in time with the acoustic melody, and Adella couldn't help but smile and laugh at some of the lyrics.

Marci smiled dreamily at them and gently swaying to the rhythm. She felt so happy seeing her cousin enjoying her special day. Her elation made her start to daydream about her own wedding but couldn't help but imagine herself dancing with Sam as she listening to his smooth voice.
