The Homeless Santa

The Homeless Santa Chapter Twenty-Three: The Three Musketeers.

 "Do you take this man to be your husband?" ??? spoke out, as the visualization soon changed to that of a somewhat younger-looking Nicole seen dressed entirely in a white wedding dress standing in a church chapel it seemed, with Richard seen across from her dressed entirely in a black tuxedo, with a white undershirt, black pants, and black shoes; as his hair was slicked back to look more "neater" while like Nicole he looked a tad younger then what was in the present.Nicole at the moment had somewhat longer hair that was pulled up into a bun decorated with various white looking flowers around it, along with a wedding veil over her head- many people were seen gathered around watching the ceremony take place, with the church appearing neatly decorated- blue flower's seen resting in vases that were around the church, some blue ribbons seen alined near the doorway, and along with the window's, all of this made the crowd of people somewhat oh and awe at the sight of the decorations, it was simple- yet beautiful.

A pastor stood in between the two of them with a bible in his hand, like most of the other guests he was dressed fancy-looking- appeared to be his early fifties or so, with white skin and light-colored brown hair that was cut somewhat short, with dark brown eyes- he stood slightly taller than Richard and Nicole.

Every guest was dressed in either a fancy looking dress, or a tuxedo- men, women children; all of them come from around to see the two of them get married it seemed, most of them Nicole knew where Richard's friends- she didn't have many, but she didn't care; she felt Richard's hands holding hers, and she felt like the only thing that mattered was right in front of her, although she was given in detail what everything and everyone looked like- it did make her feel pretty special to know how many people showed up, and how the church looked, even if she couldn't see it- she could always picture it.

"...I do."

"And do you take this woman to be your lovely wedded wife?" The pastor asked, looking towards Richard, as Richard shook his head- adding.

"I do."

"Then now I pronounce you...man and wife.. you may kiss the bride." And with this Richard leaned in kissing Nicole, with Nicole returning the kiss as many of the guests began to clap with enjoyment to see the two's ceremony.

==============================================

Soon enough the visualization flashed back to that of the present, with Nicole seen pacing back and forth a bit waiting for Richard and Elizabeth to arrive it seemed, playing around with her fingers, bumping her fists together, she was clearly anxious- and she knew it, her heart was pounding; she felt many emotions going throughout her head- she wanted to be happy that Richard was still around, that Richard had come to the city to talk things over, but at the same time she wanted to rip his head off for what he had done, pretending to have killed himself? she knew that was something horrible, that was something nobody should make up- and she wanted him to know it, and know it good.
