The Marriage of Fievel and Olivia

The marriage of Fievel and Olivia

"Well Tiger, the day is finally here." Fievel Mousekewitz said to his best friend. He wore a white tuxedo and a red bow that matched his shirt. Why is he dressed up like that, you may ask? Well, he is marrying his soon-to-be Mrs. Mousekewitz: Olivia Flaversham. "I can't believe the day finally came ever since the day you announced yours and Miss Kitty's engagement. I thought you'd liked any kind of female cats."

"Well, I was going to, until I found Miss Kitty." Tiger told him.

"Well, I guess I'm going to take my place at the alter and wait for my bride." Fievel said as he leaves the chambers. "Wish me luck."

"I can't believe the day is finally here!" Olivia said to her friends, Basil, whom he was 72 years old, and Dawson, whom he was 101 years old, as she squealed in joy. She was in her white wedding gown, with a pink trim on the bottom of her lower half on the dress. She wore a white bow, in place of a tiara, with a beautiful chapel-length veil protruding from it. She puts on her Elbow-length-gloves and grabbed her bouquet of flowers, as she is getting married to her soon-to-be husband.

"It sure is, Olivia." Basil said, as she continued. "I can't wait for MY wedding as well! He's only one month away from being married to some other girls whom he is going to find!" she squealed as well. The Great Mouse Detective and his old buddy cheered as they hugged their friend. Olivia had flashbacks about the day Fievel proposed to her, five months ago.

Flashback

Fievel was hanging around, waiting for his date to appear. He was fiddling around with a small, black, velvet box that contains something he will give to his girlfriend. "Aw, how am I supposed to say it to her?" Fievel said to himself.

Olivia walked up to him and asked the usual sweet voice she always says. "Hi, Fievel" Fievel freaked out and turned around, only to see his girlfriend.

"Don't you scare me like that, Olivia!" He told her.

"So, what's that in your hand? Another one of your bones or something?" She asked.

"No. In fact, I wanted to tell you something." Fievel told her as he begins. "Olivia, we have been together to three months, and even though you're afraid of losing me, I thought I'd do something to make it, so you and I would stay together forever."

"Wha- what are you talking about?" Olivia asked. Fievel stood on his one knee, and opened the box, containing an engagement ring, with a sapphire diamond that matches her eyes. Fievel held her hand and begins to pop the question.

"Olivia Flaversham, will you marry me?" he then asks.

Olivia was shocked when she heard him asked it, like it's going to happen. Her eyes sparkled as she accepts. "Yes, Fievel Mousekewitz, yes! Of course I'll marry you! I've been waiting for this day my whole life! I love you!" She kissed her now fiancé wildly in the lips. As Fievel returned the kiss, he slipped the ring on her ring finger.

Olivia continued to daydream about that glorious event. Hiram, Olivia's father, looked at the clock on the wall. "Uh, Olivia, It's time."

"Oh, okay. Thanks Father." Olivia said as she got back to reality. She then started walking to the front of the door that leads to where her husband-to-be is at. "Look out Fillie. You girl is here." Tony, Fievel's buddy, then said to his friend.

Fievel stood at the front of the congregation, as he looked at his cat friend, Tiger, his ring bearer, Toby, Basil's dog, his sister, Tanya Mousekewitz and Tiger's fiancé and maid of honor, Miss Kitty.

The Bridal Chorus began to blare throughout the church, which means to Fivel, his bride arrives. The door opened to revealed Olivia. She walked down the aisle and took her place beside her soon-to-be husband.

"Well, Olivia. This is it." Fievel whispered to his bride.

"We're going to be together forever." Olivia quietly replied to her groom.

The priest took his place on the podium and begins his spiel. "Bless this marriage, O God, as Fievel Mousekewitz and Olivia Flaversham begin their journey down the road of life together.
We don't know what lies ahead for the road turns and bends. But help them to make the best of whatever comes their way.

Help them to hug each other often...laugh a lot, talk more, and argue less.
Help them to continue to enjoy each other as they did when they first met.
Help them to realize that nothing nor no one is perfect and to look for the good in all things and all people including themselves.
Help them to respect each other's likes and dislikes, opinion and beliefs, hopes and dreams and fears even though they may not always understand them.
Help them to learn from each other and to help each other to grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Help them to realize that there is design and purpose in their lives as in the world and no matter what happens to them they will hold on to each other and know that things have a way of working out for the good.
Help them to create for their children a peaceful, stable home of love as a foundation on which they can build their lives.
But most of all, dear God, help them to keep lit the torch of love' that they now share in their hears so that by their loving example they may pass on the light of love to their children and to their children's children forever."

Everyone said 'Amen' as the priest continues. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to bare witness the union of Fievel Mousekewitz and Olivia Flaversham. If anyone has any reason why these two should not be together in holy wedlock, let them speak now or forever hold their peace."

Not one single soul objected. Although Tiger said "No one objected!", It didn't break the happy union in any way. The priest sighed in relief as he continues.

"Fievel Mousekewitz, do you come before this gathering of friends and family to proclaim your love and devotion for Olivia Flaversham? Do you promise to respect her, and to care for her during times of joy and hardship? Do you commit yourself to share your feelings of happiness and sadness? Do you pledge to remain faithful to her?"

"I do." Fievel said as his eyes focuses on his bride.

"Olivia Flaversham, do you come before this gathering of friends and family to proclaim your love and devotion for Fievel Mousekewitz? Do you promise to respect him, and care for him during times of joy and hardship? Do you commit yourself to share your feelings of happiness and sadness? Do you pledge to remain faithful to him?

"I do." Olivia said as her eyes focuses on her groom.

"Now, join your hands to show that your hearts are joined together in love." The priest told them.

Fievel and Olivia both held their hands, not taking their eyes off of each other for one second.

"Ring bearer, please present them their rings." The priest told Toby, as he walked between them lowered the cushion beside them. On it are the wedding rings. Fievel took one of them and recited his speech for the exchange of rings.

"What have I to give you, Olivia Flaversham?
The promise to take you as my only love from this day forward, to stand by your side, to listen when you speak,
to comfort you when you cry,
and to join your laughter with my own.
Take this ring, and be my wife." Fievel then slid the wedding ring on Olivia's ring finger, right next to her engagement ring.

"What have I to give you, Fievel Mousekewitz?
The promise to take you as my only love from this day forward, to stand by your side, to listen when you speak,
to comfort you when you cry,
and to join your laughter with my own.
Take this ring, and be my husband." Olivia then recited her speech as she slid the ring on Fievel's ring finger.

"Now, Fievel Mousekewitz and Olivia Flaversham, recite your vows to one another." The priest then spoke. Fievel then recited his vows first.

"I came to this place today as a man standing along; I will walk from it by your side.
Today I cross the threshold with you and enter into a new and lasting lifetime commitment. Olivia Flaversham, I commit myself to you as your husband."

Olivia then recited her vows.

"I came to this place today as a woman standing along; I will walk from it by your side.
Today I cross the threshold with you and enter into a new and lasting lifetime commitment. Fievel Mousekewitz, I commit myself to you as your wife."

"Those whom God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.
Forasmuch as Fievel Mousekewitz and Olivia Flaversham have consented together in Holy Wedlock, and have witnessed the same before God and this company of witnesses, and there to have given their pledge, each to the other, and have declared the same by giving and receiving a ring, and by joining hands; by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You many now kiss your bride." The priest spoke.

Fievel lifted Olivia's veil that is covering her face, snuck his hand around her waist, and then pulled her closer. They then closed their eyes, puckered their lips and then gave each other the most passionate kiss they have ever had in their lives.

As the two newlyweds broke up from their kiss, the priest smiled and proclaimed, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I now present to you Mr. And Mrs. Fievel Mousekewitz."

The crowd cheered for the newlyweds as Fievel picked her up by the threshold and carried her to the limousine. They got in, although he let his bride in first, and are being driven off to the site of the reception.
