... hold for me.” Don handed Jason Angel’s ring. “It’s Jason’s job to hold our rings until Pastor Ken tell us to put them on each other.” “Rings?” she asked. “Yes,” said Don. “Angel’s ring and Don’s ring.” “Don’s… ring?” questioned Angel. Then her face broke into a huge smile. “Don’s ring!” “Yes Angel, Don’s ring.” Jason smiled and said, “I’ll see you two outside.” “Now, let’s get married, shall we.” In bare feet, they walked down to the beach and stood before Pastor Ken with Jason standing by Don’s side. Pastor Ken spoke slowly and clearly so that Angel understood his words. “I Donald Raymond Taylor, take you Angel to be my wife. To have and to hold from this day forward, to love and cherish, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.” “I Angel, take you Don,” began Pastor Ken. “I Angel, take Don.” “To be my husband.” “To be… my husband.” “To have and to hold.” “To have… and to hold.” “From this day forward.” “From this… day… forward.” “To love and cherish.” “To love and cherry.” Jason snickered and Don smiled. “No Angel,” said Pastor Ken, “cherish not cherry.” “Cherish?” “Yes.” “Cherish.” “For better or worse.” “For better… or worse.” Pastor Ken smiled. “For richer or poorer.” “For richer… or poorer.” “In sickness and in health.” Angel began to smile, “In sickness… and… in heath.” “Until death do us part.” Angel’s smile faded. “Death?

She smiled and whispered, “Angel.” Pastor Ken helped put the ring into Angel’s hand. “Now Angel, take Don’s hand.” Don raised his left hand and Angel took it into hers. “Put the ring on this finger,” said Pastor Ken as he pointed to his ring finger. Angel examined the ring, looked at hers, then slipped the ring onto Don’s finger as Pastor Ken said, “With this ring.” Angel didn’t say anything as she was too focused on putting the ring on Don’s hand. Pastor Ken gently put his hand on her shoulder and said, “With this ring.” “With this ring,” she repeated. “I thee wed.” “I thee wed.” “By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Don, you may know kiss the bride.” Don leaned down and kissed Angel softly on the lips. Jason clapped his hands and said, “Okay, time for a ...
