Torilla raised an eyebrow as she settled back into her chair as she waited for the second wedding, the first had been entertaining and long awaited, she knew her family were just as patient as she was.

After he finished shaking Pike's hand, Col. Hurd returned to the back of the room, and re-assumed his ram-rod straight posture. He knew in his heart of hearts what was about to happen, and he was overjoyed. Hurd looked around the room, and quietly noted that quite a few sets of eyes were on him. Smiling inwardly, he awaited to be addressed.

Lee and Alex moved to the back of the room and remained at the wedding out of respect for Jewel and David's wedding.

The drums started to beat as K'leela walked up front and looked around the room and then the beating of the drums stopped. "With fire and steel did the gods forge the Klingon heart. So firecely did it beat, so loud was the sound, that the gods cried out: „On this day we have brought forth the strongest heart in all the heavens. None can stand before it without trembling at its strength." K'leela began.

"But then the Klingon heart weakened, its steady rhythm faltered, and the gods said. Why do you weaken so? We have made you the strongest in all of creation."

Hurd replied, in a steely voice, ''I am alone.''

"And the gods knew that they had erred. So they went back to their forge und brought forth another heart."

Jewel enters and joins David up front, as the sword bearer steps forward and both take the Bat'leth, K'leela continues. "But the second heart beat stronger than the first, and the first was jealous of its power."

The David swings his Bat'leth at Jewel, but she parries and gets her blade up to his neck. "Fortunately, the second heart was tempered by wisdom." K'leela replies looking at Jewel.

"If we join together, no forces can stop us." Jewel replies, Jewel takes her blade away from David's neck, and the two pull each other close, with their faces almost touching.

"And when the two hearts began to beat together, they filled the heavens with a terrible sound. For the first time, the gods knew fear. They tried to flee, but it was too late. The Klingon hearts destroyed the gods who created them and turnes the heavens to ashes. To this very day, no one can oppose the beating of two Klingon hearts." K'leela said.

"David son of David does your heart beat only for this woman?" K'leela asked.

Almost choking on his word, but managing to remain calm, David replied, ''It Does''.

"And will you swear to join with her and stand with her against all who would oppose you?" K'leela asked

Hurd replied, simply, ''I do''

"Jewel daughter of Simon does your heart beat only for this man?" K'leela asked.

"Yes," Jewel replied.

"And do you swear to join with him and stand with him against all who would oppose you?" K'leela asked.

"I swear," Jewel replied.

"Then let all present here today know that this man and this woman are married." K'leela stated to everyone present.

Jewel kissed David and smiled then turned to K'leela and bowed. Then looked at David.

David was almost at a loss for words, but he said, ''I love you Jewel.'' He the turned to K'leela, bowed for just a moment, and stood up, looking straight at her.

"Welcome to the house of Pir'up Pa my son," K'leela replied and hugged David. Then the two turned and waited for the party to attack them with the sticks.

The reception began immediately in the same place where the wedding was held. The food was brought in. It consisted of Klingon food as well as the usual standard food served in weddings. There were also a wide variety of beverages, something that would satisfy all.

The music played as everyone congratulated the happy couples. Deela walked over and gave Alex and Lee a congratulation hug. She then went off to mingle with the others. Unfortunately, she was called away.

Saith made the rounds and congratulated everyone, following other people’s leads. She shook hands and smiled, although she wasn’t really feeling it so much. Maal was speaking with Lee so she wandered over to a table and stood with her back against the wall.

Lee was standing there drinking bloodwine with Maal and Torg as they talked. Lee's parents came up and gave Lee a hug before going over to talk with Alex.
