My Best Friend

It's About Time

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart

Mindy looked out the door as she watched everyone stand, waiting for her. She felt her heart begin to race. This was it. She was going to marry Thomas. Mindy felt her stomach beginning to turn as she took a deep breath. She stepped outside hoping she wouldn't get sick in the middle of the wedding.

Without saying a word, you can light up the dark

"Ready?" Uncle Monty asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be", Mindy said.

Mindy held her bouquet as they began walking down the aisle toward the altar. Her eyes fell on Thomas as she came closer to him. She could see him fidgeting. Was he scared?

Try as I may I can never explain

What I hear when you don't say a thing

Thomas stood looking nervous. This was a huge step in his and Mindy's life. He remembered how he loved her when they were kids. He always told himself someday he was going to marry her. It was happening now. Thomas looked up as he heard Mindy's footsteps come closer.

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave meThe touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fallYou say it best when you say nothing at all

All doubts they had seemed to disappear as they saw each other. Mindy smiled as she tried not to cry. She and Uncle Monty stopped when they reached the altar. Monty softly kissed her cheek before turning to take a seat with the rest of the family. Mindy took Thomas' hand as she stood next to him.

"Well", she whispered. "This is it."

All day long I can hear people talking out loud

But when you hold me near (oh, hold me near)You drown out the crowd (drown out crowd)

They turned to face Charlie who didn't look too happy about marrying her and Thomas, but he tried his best not to be so upset. After all, he never thought this day would come. He never thought someone would ever want to marry Thomas.

Try as they may, they can never define

What's been said between your heart and mine

"Well, it's about time you two decided to tie the knot", Charlie joked, starting off the wedding.

Mindy and Thomas frowned hoping he wasn't going to spoil the whole wedding. This was their special day, nothing to be joked about. Everyone grew quiet, waiting for Charlie to properly start.

"We come together to join Tommy and Mindy in matrimony. Now, I know Tommy can't talk, so I'll let Mindy say her vows. If she has any."

Mindy rolled her eyes at him as she turned to Thomas.

The smile on your face let me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave meThe touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fallYou say it best when you say nothing at all

"I, Mindy Bailey", she started. "Take you, Thomas Hewitt to be my husband. To have and to hold from this day forward. For better, for worse. For richer, for poorer. In sickness and in health. To love and to cherish, til death us do part."

Everyone aww'd as she lowered her head unable to go on. Thomas gave a soft smile as he pressed his forehead against hers.

"Alright, break it up", Charlie said.

They pulled away and turned back to face Charlie.

"Tommy, do you take Mindy to be your wife?" he asked.

Thomas nodded ferociously. Mindy smiled widely.

"Mindy, do you take Tommy to be your husband?"

"I do."

"Well then, Mindy has a ring already. So, by the power invested in me, as head of the Hewitt family, I pronounce you man and wife."

Mindy and Thomas smiled as they looked at each other.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" Charlie asked. "Kiss her!"

Mindy wrapped her arms around Thomas' neck and Thomas wrapped his arms around her as they kissed passionately.

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

Mindy cried happily as she and Thomas pulled away. Thomas lifted his finger to wipe the tears from her eyes. Mindy frowned as she felt the familiar rise in her throat. She ran behind the altar and began vomiting again.

"Mindy, are you okay?" Luda Mae asked.

The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall

You say it best when you say nothing at all

Mindy didn't answer as she fainted. Thomas caught her before she hit the ground.
