Timeline: 0900Hrs - June, 27th 2391
Lt Commander Siaxx Dvald regarded Ensign Elizabeth Yamaguchi as the latter simply wore her standard uniform while Siaxx was struggling into a simple but elegant looking wedding dress. "Why can't Jill be around for this?"
"Its tradition... the bride and bride can't see each other on the wedding day." Elizabeth explained patiently. "Come on... hurry up." she added a moment later, as if enjoying herself.
"Seriously?!" Siaxx growled as she fought with her gown. "How do people wear these things?"
"No idea... I wore my dress uniform when I married Kameron, and Mom wore her dress uniform when she married Dad, same with Gabriel and Celeste." Yamaguchi smiled as she shrugged. "You had to be complicated with a full blown wedding dress.."
"I hate you." the smaller Bolian growled.
"Nah, you love me..." Yamaguchi chuckled softly, clearly enjoying herself at the Bolian's expense.
Siaxx sighed as she finally finished pulling on her dress as she admitted that even she looked good when admiring herself in the mirror, Yamaguchi raised an eyebrow. "You do clean up well Siaxx.."
"You serious?"
"Well." Elizabeth then waved her hand from side to side meaning 'so so' or 'its alright' as Siaxx fumed. "You are a lot of help..."
"I aim to please...." Elizabeth responded with a smile.
Siaxx regarded Yamaguchi. "Yeah well...... Where is the wedding again?"
"Holodeck Three.." Yamaguchi grinned. "So Lets go."
A short time later, the two entered holodeck three after Elizabeth took a moment to check with her mother in regards to Phoenix. "Its okay Elizabeth. She's stuck at my place with me and we're not ready yet, we'll meet you there."
"Okay, we'll be waiting... Besides we'll be all by our lonesome back here. Make it quick, would ya?"
"Stop poking me." Torilla's voice came back. "You're as bad as your father."
"I heard that.... Jackass.!" Jake's voice came back as Elizabeth smiled. "Come on, we're expected."
Siaxx walked beside Elizabeth and moments later they entered holodeck three to find several dozen people already present, most if not all of the air wing was present as were most if not all of sickbay along with a few others too. Elizabeth led the smaller Bolian over to the front where Zara Tane was standing. "Morning sir. I have brought forth the prisoner." Elizabeth was clearly enjoying herself as she tried and failed to repress a laugh. It was the first time she laughed in almost a week and one could see the lines on Elizabeth's face if they looked too closely.
"I pity your punishment," Zara teased Siaxx, for she got a glimpse of Jill.
Phoenix was in her lavender robe and looked very refined with her hair styled with white flowers in her hair. But the one thing that caught Zara most was Phoenix's nervousness.
"That batshit loon loves you, My Friend," Zara noted quietly with a bit of envy.
Siaxx stood there, as she turned a shade of deep blue in her wedding dress. "I know..."
Cyrin Yubo, and his sister Niva walked into the room just behind Varkon, Karryn, and Seykai, and immediately Cyrin went over to the bar, where Lakai Ferim, Rykar's mate, was being the bartender. Rykar herself was on bridge watch and wouldn't be coming. Seykai then commented to Cyrin, "I really just don't get this whole marriage thing that so many species in this galaxy seem to do."
Cyrin just shrugged as he ordered a drink," I don't get it either, but then again our species tends to be the unusual ones."
Seykai didn't reply as he looked around the room. He noticed Teval and Hakaya where missing again. Seykai looked over at Karryn asking, "Where is Teval and Hakaya."
Karryn sighed in disappointment, "Probably moping around being slow again, either that or Hakaya is already drunk."
Orthos came in as he regarded his wife. "I love weddings... especially the betazoid kind.... I get to see all the lovely ladies on offering."
"Betazoid?" Daisy asked, a little surprised. "I can imagine you would love that kind."
Orthos chuckled softly. "You're the one I married hon."
The door opened and in walked two Draenei females, one had dark violet skin and the other had deep blue skin but they looked almost identical in all other respects. "I love weddings." Luhanna smiled as she regarded Telios who walked beside her.
"Yep. Lets me check out the men all at once." Telios was blunt about her preferences as Luhanna chuckled. "Of course, who are you to deny yourself to the men of the ship?"
"That's not going to happen mother." Telios answered with a smile as the door opened behind then and in came Commander Ra'Vak who seemed to be being pushed by Toshnarr. "Lets go Romulan... stop making this harder then it needs to be.." he rasped softly.
Ra'Vak desperately looked for a way out, and when Toshnarr wasn't paying as much attention. Ra'Vak ducked under the big Gorn and made a move for the door.
Luhanna sighed. "Ra'Vak, whats wrong... you don't wanna be here for this?" she inquired as she gently coiled one arm around him. "I can be diverting."
Telios smiled as she watched her mother interact with the Romulan
Ra'Vak just looked at Luhanna with a very worried look, while Karryn watched, ever so slightly amused. She then mentioned, "Well, that looks like everyone, except for Teval and Hakaya.
Torilla walked beside Phoenix. "You ready for this?"
"Yes... No... I dunno," Jill answered quickly as she looked for her betrothed.
"She's up next to the skipper." Torilla supplied softly. "I like that dress though..."
"I hope she knows 'at comes off very quickly," Phoenix chuckled.
"I think she forgot.." Torilla snickered softly. "I think Beth did too."
"I'm lucky to of kept her. Not many would stick around with someone like me," Phoenix spoke very modestly.
Yamaguchi regarded the smaller woman with a reproving look. "Jill... You are being too hard on yourself. The twins love you... Rachael does too and so does Siaxx..." Torilla said quietly. "Look at that face... and tell me she doesn't feel the same?"
Siaxx meanwhile looked at Jill as she looked uneasy with a mixture of love and fear on her face. Elizabeth gently patted her hand. "Easy Siaxx... It'll be alright.... wait... why is everyone wearing.... Oh shit." she paused. "this is a nude wedding.."
Siaxx blinked. "Wait.. what?"
Elizabeth paused. "That right skipper?"
"You did request a nude wedding," Zara noted with a grin.
Siaxx paused as she blinked. "No... Phoenix did... I forgot about it." the small Bolian admitted.
"So how do we do this? Stripper music?" Zara winked.
Siaxx gave her a look as Elizabeth intervened. "No... the usual Betazoid music will be fine." she responded. "I'm not sure how I feel about being naked in public." she paused. "But everyone else seems to be fine with it." she indicated the gathering crowd.
Meanwhile Ensign Tienn Iteela smiled as she walked through the door, wearing her regular duty uniform with the skirt, Lieutenant Benice Gyce at her side. "Seems like quite a crowd." Iteela commented. "You sure this was wise?"
"I'm rarely sure about new things," Gyce smiled nervously. "But I'm glad to do this with you."
Iteela regarded the larger woman. "I'm glad you're here too."
Teval and Hakaya finally showed up, Hakaya was in a lousy mood, while Teval largely ignored it. Hakaya went over to the bar, while Teval went over to Varkon and Seykai.
Zara smiled while everyone was in attendance and spoke loudly for all to here, "As this is a Betazed ceremony, I have been instructed to ask that all guests disrobe."
Torilla smiled as she slipped off her robe as everyone else stripped off as Elizabeth looked uneasy. Siaxx smiled as she shrugged out of her wedding dress to reveal her nude body, she was lean and muscular and her body showcased it.
Elizabeth looked at Zara. "What about you?"
"I will if you will," Zara winked flirtatiously to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth paused as she clearly looked uneasy, after a moment she began shrugging out of her uniform until she too was nude.
Cyrin and Niva both looked around the room in confusion, unfamiliar with this particular custom. Seykai also looked confused while Karryn commented to Teval, "Um, what do we do."
Teval shrugged," No Idea." While Wukari commented, "I home no one gets it in their head to try and shave us."
Lakai looked at windspirit, "Well, I've never seen this one before, I though that furless species hated being without clothes."
Windspirit shrugged, "Its a Betazoid thing."
Lakai looked at both Phoenix and Siaxx, then replied, "They don't look like Betazoids to me."
Windspirit shrugged, "Yeah I don't get it either."
Lakai then asked," So what do us furries do here, none of us wear clothes anyway."
Windspirit shrugged, while Niva commented to Torilla," So um, what do us furry people do now."
Torilla raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry. Phoenix wanted to do a Betazoid wedding so... here we are."
Meanwhile, more people were gathering including a small family of four Bolians, three of them were females and one was male but they all looked like Siaxx.
Commander Sohnaxx Dvald looked around. "Lovely place here." as she took a moment to check her robe over, her husband Shorax looked cheerful which was something one didn't often see.
Theris smiled. "She does clean up well... doesn't she?" she indicated her sibling who was up at the front, wearing nothing but a white wedding dress was puddled around her feet "So... This was a Betazoid wedding afterall"
Heris nodded. "Yep... Siaxx just forgot but then I think the woman next to her didn't forget... Who is that?"
"That's Torilla Yamaguchi's eldest daughter." Captain Marie Yamaguchi answered but she was alone, her husband and children were not present considering they were Cardassian or part Cardassian so she had kept them away. "And she is not one for being nude in public spaces.."
Sohnaxx sighed. "Oh... that's a shame.. " she commented, clearly admiring the younger woman. "She has such a nice figure."
The other Bolian's chuckled softly as Marie Yamaguchi smiled. "Best not let her hear you saying that... It might not end well and her husband would laugh about it."
Sohnaxx blinked as this was indeed a surprise. "Wait... her husband isn't the overprotective type?"
"Nope. Kameron would stand back and let his wife deal with it." before Marie in turn shrugged off her robe to reveal her figure.
When the ceremony started, Phoenix removed her robe and nervously took Siaxx's hands in her. The human was very happy. Happier than she had ever been.
"Surrounded by stars, we gather in all our splendor to celebrate the unity between these two women," Zara began and tried not to rush through it, given she was cold. "Unions as wonderful as this one are not made however, without total commitment. And I cannot think of a better way to display that, than to allow these two people to recite their own vows of love and promise."
Siaxx smiled. "Now what were my vows again.." the small Bolian muttered to herself.
Phoenix did not need prodding. She just dove right in. "We started as casual lovers... An' along the way I discovered I felt connected to you in ways no other has come close to."
Phoenix paused, allowed a few happy tears to form, and kissed the back of Siaxx's blue hands. "If not for you, I would still be a violent drunk... You've given me soo much. An' 'at is why, 'til tha end of our days, I will love, protect, an' comfort you."
Siaxx listened to the woman who she was going to marry in silence, her face said it all however. "Phoenix, you helped me overcome my demons, you allowed me to be myself and you encouraged me. You cherished me and protected me." Siaxx responded. "Had it not been for you, I'd still be the party girl with nothing to show for it." she paused. "From now until the end of time... I will love you, help you and be there for you... wherever we go and whatever we do. We do it together... forever."
"You have a deal, My Love," Phoenix spoke endearingly as she kissed Siaxx's on the back of her blue hand.
"If there is anyone here opposed to this union speak now?" Zara deliberately rushed this part, out of fear of Aryssa randomly showing up and doing something stupid. "Right then. You two may kiss."
Siaxx gently reached up with her hands. "Alright." and with that, she kissed Phoenix on the lips.
"You're... beautiful," Phoenix breathed between kisses. Then gently took Siaxx's left hand prepared to walk down the aisle.
