The inayofuata day
Michael woke up and stretched. Today was the wedding and he was excited and nervous. He, Chris, and his brothers were to be the first ones at the church to prevent him from seeing his bride. He got up and popped his back and went into the bathroom to fix his hair, humming Someone In The Dark. 'I'm nervous about today, but I hope I can get through this. I think Aislinn is thinking the same thing.' He thought. He heard the doorbell and went to answer it to see his brothers and Chris. He let them in and went back into the bedroom to get his suit.
At Cory's House
Aislinn was up pretty early. The wedding didn't start until 11, and she was nervous. It didn't take long for her hair to set and it didn't take long to have their make-up done. Cory walked in with Aislinn's dress and placed it on the kitanda and walked up to Aislinn. "Ready for today, Aislinn?" She asked. Aislinn nodded. "Yeah, but I'm really nervous." "There's no need to be nervous, Aislinn. Be excited for this. You're getting married to one of the most special and talented pop stars of our time." "Yeah...I guess your right. I am pretty excited for this." "Now come on. Let's get your make-up done first. Kelly! KC! Come on!" They walked in, in their dresses, and started helping Aislinn with her make-up.
Back At Michael's House
Jackie looked at Michael's hair. "Michael...we need to do something about your hair." He said. "What are wewe gonna do to it?" Michael asked, protecting his hair. (Me: His reaction is just so funny. -Michael: oh hush.- Me: *sticks tongue out at him* wewe know wewe upendo me. -Michael: yeah I do.- Me: Yay :).) Jermaine defended Michael. "Jackie, his hair is fine. It just needs a little zaidi styling. Right, Michael?" Jermaine said. "Yeah, just a little zaidi styling. Thanks, Jermaine." "No problem, little brother." Then he started styling Michael's hair a bit zaidi before they had him put on his white suit.
Back at Cory's House
Aislinn's make-up was done and she looked beautiful. "Wow...you look stunning. If I were a guy, I'd take wewe in a second!" Cory said. "Yeah, me too!" alisema Kelly. "Same goes for me!" KC stated. Aislinn looked in the mirror and her jaw dropped a bit. She did look beautiful. She looked at her Marafiki and they were holding up her dress. Aislinn walked to the dress and smiled. "Girls..." "What?" They responded. She looked at them. "Help me with my dress...at the church. Come on! We need to be there soon!" They nodded and loaded the car, Cory holding the dress, and headed off to the church. Luckily the doors were unlocked and her aunt was there along with Michael's mother. "Aunt Kathy! Mrs. Jackson! Over here!" Aislinn called out. Katherine and Aunt Kathy turned their heads to see the girls and went over to them. "Do wewe need some help, Aislinn?" Mrs. Jackson asked. "Yes please? Is Janet here with her dress?" "Yes she is. She's in the girls dressing room right now. We better get wewe girls in there, too." They led them into the girls dressing room and got Aislinn out of her mitaani, mtaa clothes and into her dress.
At Michael's House
Michael's hair was styled just the way he wanted it, thanks to Jermaine and Tito. He was all dressed up in his suit and looked in the mirror. He thought he'd never look in the mirror again, but after thinking about it, he did. He smiled at what was done. He was ready to be married to his one true love...Aislinn. He turned to the guys. "Alright. Let's get going!" He alisema and they all cheered. They got into Jackie's car and they headed off to the church.
At the church
Jackie found a good parking spot and saw Michael's car here. "Michael? What's your car doing here?" He asked. Michael had no idea what was going on. "I don't know...I think someone got my car here." They ignored the fact and got out of the car and headed inside.
In the girls dressing room
Aislinn looked in the mirror and saw how beautiful she looked. She was about to cry because of her reflection. Katherine walked up to her and put her hand on her shoulder. She turned to her, tears about to fall. "There's no need to cry, Aislinn. wewe look beautiful. Here." She handed Aislinn a tissue and she took it and wiped her tears. "Thank wewe so much, Mrs. Jackson. wewe too, Aunt Kathy. Kelly, KC, Janet, and Cory...thank wewe guys so much for doing this with me. I upendo wewe all." They all gathered around Aislinn and gave her a group hug. "Well, let's head on out there. Girls, in line, please? Cory, in the back." Cory got to the back with her flowers. Suddenly, a knock at the door. Katherine went to answer it. "Yes? Huh?" She looked around and no one was there. She looked down and saw a bouquet of white flowers and cherry blossoms. She picked it up and read the note. "It's for Aislinn." She handed it to Aislinn and she looked at it. Her inayopendelewa set of flowers. White flowers and some cherry blossoms. "Ok girls, follow me." Aunt Kathy said, guiding the girls out, Katherine keeping Aislinn in the room for a bit. She could tell Aislinn was still a bit nervous. She then comforted Aislinn, saying that it'd be alright.
At the alter
Michael was waiting there in his white suit, looking around. He saw the girls come out. First was the little maua, ua girl, who was his niece, and his nephew was the ring bearer. Janet was first of the bridesmaids and she came out with Marlon. Then it was Kelly and Tito. Then it was KC and Jermaine. Then it was Cassie and Jackie. Finally, there came Cory and Chris, the maid of honor and the best man. Michael was pretty nervous. Once the wedding muziki played, the doors opened to reveal his bride, being walked down the isle kwa her uncle Rod. He smiled at her. 'She looks so beautiful.' He thought. "Who is the one that is giving the bride away?" The preacher asked. "I, her uncle Rod, am giving her away." He alisema and the preacher nodded and hugged her and gave her to Michael. They walked up to the preacher, hand in hand. "We are gathered here today to witness the wedding of Michael Joseph Jackson and Aislinn Christina Williams. First off, before we start, does anyone have any objections to why these two should not be wed?" No one raised their hands and he continued. "Let us begin. These two, from the start of their lives, have connected in an invisible way. They have had some hard times, but nothing they couldn't overcome. They have been together for two years and now have made the commitment to be wed this summer day. They have fallen in and out of upendo a few times, but they always got back together and started anew...they have written their vows for each other to hear. Michael, would wewe like to start?" Michael nodded and turned to Aislinn. "Aislinn, from the first time I met you, all the while back in Gary, I knew from the start that I was in upendo with you. wewe stood up for me when wewe needed to against your family. I know we've had hard times, but it's nothing compared to our journey ahead as husband and wife. I upendo you, Aislinn, and I've never gone one siku without thinking of you." Michael alisema and he could hear his mother cry a bit. "Aislinn? It's your turn." She nodded and looked at Michael. "Michael, when I first saw wewe when I was little, playing with Randy at your house, I knew I was in love, too. You've stood up for me so many times. I couldn't believe we, to this day, are still in love, regardless of how many times we fought over the silly little things in life. As we progress our journey into life, as husband and wife, I know we can make a difference. I upendo you, Michael, and there has never been a siku where I didn't think of you." She smiled, a tear falling down her cheek. "Will the ring bearer come up with the rings, please?" The preacher alisema as Michael's nephew came up with the rings. Aislinn and Michael took the rings and held them close. "Michael, repeat after me. I, Michael, with this ring, let us be wed. I will upendo wewe forever, and comfort you, and support wewe through good and evil, sickness and health, and for all eternity." "I, Michael, with this ring, let us be wed. I will upendo wewe forever, and comfort you, and support wewe through good and evil, sickness and health, and for all eternity." He slid the ring on her finger and she took hers to his. "Aislinn, repeat. Place your name in." She nodded. "I, Aislinn, with this ring, let us be wed. I will upendo wewe forever, and comfort you, and support wewe through good and evil, sickness and health, and for all eternity." And she slid the ring on his finger. "Will the bride and groom please step over to the sand?" He alisema and they walked over and took the sand and started pouring it in the container, bit kwa bit. "The sand is one that cannot be separated. It stays together forever, no way to be separated. As they pour it in, they are becoming one." Once the container was full, they walked back to the preacher. "Here comes the question. Do you, Michael, take Aislinn to be your lawfully wedded wife?" "I do." "And do you, Aislinn, take Michael to be your lawfully wedded husband?" "I do." "Take this covered glass and break it." Michael took it and put it on the ground and stepped on it. "I now pronounce you, man and wife. wewe may kiss the bride." Michael smiled, took Aislinn, dipped her, and kissed her. Everyone cheered. The ladies were crying and they all clapped. Michael and Aislinn walked back up the isle and got their picture taken. They then walked out of the room and into the mess hall for the reception.
The Mess Hall
Everyone was waiting around, talking and getting to know each other. Then Joseph got up and walked to the door. "Everyone...let's all give a welcome to the newly wed couple...Mr and Mrs Michael and Aislinn Jackson!" Everyone got up and they walked in, hand in hand. All of their family and Marafiki walked up to them and congratulated them. They talked for a bit and then it was time to cut the cake. Michael got behind her and held her hands as she held the kisu and sliced the cake. Joseph was taking pictures of this moment. Aislinn got a piece and fed it to Michael and he did the same to her. Then he got some zaidi and smeared it on her mouth and nose and she did the same to him. They giggled and then sat down. She helped him clean off his face and he did the same to her. Everyone brought their gifts to them and they opened them one kwa one. When it came to Katherine's and Joseph's gift to them, Michael smiled and Aislinn was curious. "What did they get us?" She asked. "Open it, hon." He told her, smiling. She opened the envelope and saw two plane tickets. "Plane tickets?" "Check where they are headed." She looked and was in shock. "Tokyo, Japan?! Oh my god!" She pulled out a reservation paper. "A hotel in Japan just for us? Oh thank wewe guys so much!" Aislinn got up and hugged Joseph and Katherine and they hugged back. As soon as it was time to leave, Michael handed his mother the letter he wrote back to them and headed out with Aislinn. They were to leave really soon. Aislinn got her stuff out of the dressing room and they headed to the car. They looked at the car and it alisema "Just Married" on the back window with dhahabu and silver sequin strips hanging out of the trunk. They got in the car and drove off back to the house, everyone following, but going back home.
Back at the house
Michael and Aislinn walked in and got their stuff together then headed to the airport to catch their flight to Japan.
At the airport
They got to their terminal and saw all of their Marafiki and family there, waiting to see them off. Katherine walked up to Michael and hugged him and he hugged back. "You be careful, son. And thanks for the letter." Michael nodded. "I'll be careful, mother. And your welcome." Same goes for Aislinn, she got hugs from Katherine and the family and her aunt and uncle and her friends. They got on their plane and waved goodbye as they headed off to Japan.
A few hours later
The plane stopped in Japan and they got out. Aislinn had a few thousand yen on her so she was good on getting them to the hotel and she spoke some Japanese. Their taxi driver got them to the hotel and she handed him the money. They went inside and up to the counter. "May I help you?" The man at the dawati said. "Oh wow, I thought I had to speak Japanese. I didn't know wewe were English. Anyway, we have reservations." Aislinn showed him the paper and he nodded and gave them the room key. "Here wewe go, newly weds." He alisema and they nodded and headed up to their room. Michael's urge was coming back and this time it was on time. They got into the room and Aislinn was in shock. "Oh wow...it's so beautiful." She said, looking around. Michael turned on some muziki and undid his tie and his shirt. Aislinn was looking at him and sat on the bed. "Yes it is...just like you." He alisema and started kissing her, making her fall on the bed. "Michael...do wewe think we're ready for this?" Michael looked at her and smiled. "I do think we are. We did make a commitment, didn't we?" Aislinn nodded and he kissed her neck, making her sigh. It was about 11 at night and the walls were soundproof and so was the door. Michael got up and took off his koti, jacket because he was getting hot. He tossed his koti, jacket onto the edge of the kitanda and continued kissing her, unzipping her dress from the back. (Me: Yep, the moment wewe all have been waiting for. I'll just say it here instead of uandishi it out. They are making love~ for the first time. -Michael: And Aislinn seems to be liking it.- Me: True there, Michael. She is. Do wewe think she'll be pregnant? -Michael: That is up to them.- Me: Well, that is true. Let's wait for that special moment to come.)
After making love
They were sweating and panting, laying beside each other, naked and under the covers. Michael's urge was gone, finally, and it no longer had control over him. He turned to Aislinn and smiled. "Like that?" He asked her. She turned to him and smiled back. "I loved it." She said. He then kissed her softly and looked her in the eyes. "I upendo you, Aislinn Jackson." She giggled at him and kissed him back just as soft. "I upendo you, too, Michael Jackson." Then that night, they fell asleep, waiting for tomorrow to come. (Me: Yep for all wewe people waiting for this part, wewe got it! :D Be happy, everyone!)
