Christina walked into the kitchen and got out some pots and
pans.  "Are you hungry?  I'll make us something to eat," she asked. 
Her back was facing him.  He came up from behind her and wrapped his
arms around her.  She turned around slowly and looked at him.  "I
could get lost forever in your eyes", she said.  He bent down and
gently kissed her.  Her arms found their way around his neck and they
kissed passionately.  "Chris" Face asked.  "Humm?" she moaned.  "Is
the stove on?" he asked.  She shook her head no and he moved the pots
and pans out of the way.  He picked her up and sat her on top of the
stove as his arms caressed her shoulders and arms while kissing
her.   "Now we're cooking!" she said with a grin.  "That's really a
bad joke," he said while smiling.  They both laughed as he picked her
up once again and moved her to the living room.  He gently laid her
down on the couch and continued to kiss her with soft delicate
kisses.  He looked down at her and softly whispered "I'm so in love
with you.  I can't wait to make you my wife".  She looked up at him
and said, "When would you like to get married?"  He sat up on the
couch and said, "Well, as soon as possible.  How much time do you
need?"  She cocked her head sideways "How about a month?  Will that
be okay?  That should give us enough time to get all the details
worked out."  "I don't know if I can wait that long, but I'll try."
He said.  They kissed very passionately.

One month later, it was time for the wedding.  They decided to have
Christina's family from Georgia flown in and stay with them to be at
the wedding.  It was to be held at a large church down the street. 
Christina's family, all of their friends and many celebrities were
invited to attend.  They were at the church with only ten minutes
until she was going to walk down the aisle.  Face was standing at the
altar with the preacher with Murdock as his best man beside him.  On
the other side of Murdock, were Hannibal and B.A.  The organist and
pianist started to play the bridal march as the doors to the church
sanctuary were opened.  Christina stood there with Uncle Jesse at her
side.  She looked at Face and saw the look on his face.  Her beauty
captivated him.  She was so overwhelmed with love and happiness that
the tears started falling before she even got to the front of the
church.  When they reached the spot where Face stood, Uncle Jesse
kissed Christina on the cheek and sat down.  Face and Christina held
hands and stood before the preacher. 

Minister:

Templeton Peck and Christina Duke, in presenting yourselves here
today to be joined in marriage, you perform an act of faith. This
faith can grow and develop and last, but only if you both decide to
make it so. A lasting and growing love is not guaranteed by any
ritual.

If you would have the foundation of your marriage be the devotion you
have for one another, not just at this moment, but for all the days
to come, then treasure the hopes and dreams that you bring here
today. Establish that your love will never be blotted out by the
common nor obscured by the ordinary in life. Faults will surface
where now you find comfort, and admiration can be shattered by the
routine of daily life.

Dedication, love, and joy can grow only when you nourish them
together. Stand fast in that hope and confidence, having faith in
your shared destiny just as strongly as you have faith in yourselves
and in one another today. Only with this spirit can you forge a union
that will strengthen and endure all the days of your lives.

Face:

I, Templeton Peck, take you, Christina Duke, as my friend and love,
beside me and apart from me, in laughter and in tears, in conflict
and tranquility, asking that you be no other than yourself, loving
what I know of you, trusting what I do not know yet, in all the ways
that life may find us.

Face places Christina's ring on her finger and says:

Christina, I give you this ring as a symbol of my vow and love.  With
all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you, in the name of the
Father, the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Christina:

Templeton, I give you this ring as a symbol of my vow and love. With
all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you, in the name of the
Father, the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Minister:

With this statement made of love and trust, which we have just heard,
I now pronounce you husband and wife.

May this day shine eternally in your lives.
May it add brilliance to every achievement and cast a divine light
over any misfortune.
May you care for each other in all sadness.
May you give cheer to each other.
May you give vitality to each other in all undertakings.
May all that is virtuous, beautiful and honest, remain with you
always.

You may kiss your bride. 

Face kissed Christina and marveled in her beauty.  He whispered in
her ears "I love you".  She smiled through her tears and softly
said, "I love you".  They gathered in the fellowship hall of the
church and enjoyed the company of their family and friends.

The End
