Tom and B'Elanna prepare for their wedding day.Standard Discliamers:Voyager, Star Trek, and characters are Paramount's.Lady is Lionel Richie's.You Decorated My Life is Bob Morrison's and Debbie Hupp's.THE ENCHANTMENT CONTINUES	B'Elanna sat in her bed gazing around her quarters.  Today was thelast day she would spend here.  At 1700 hours, she and Tom weregetting married.  It seemed so strange not to be waking up cuddlednext to him.  They had agreed to spend last night apart.  Tom insistedit was bad luck to see the bride before the ceremony on the day of thewedding.  She thought he was joking, but Tom's voice had seriousovertones, as if he did not want to tempt fate.	Tonight she would become B'Elanna Torres-Paris.  She looked down atthe engagement ring that sparkled on her left hand. She had not takenit off since Tom had slid it on her finger the night of the party. Never in her wildest dreams had she ever imagined finding a love likethis one.  Tom accepted her for who she was.  Her Klingon side neitherfrightened or repulsed him.	Rising from her bed, she walked to the replilcator and got someTarkalean Tea and toast.  She sat on her couch and ate her breakfastquickly as she mentally sorted through all she needed to do before thewedding........	Tom sat on his couch drinking coffee.  He could not believe hownervous he was.  Tonight, B'Elanna would become his wife.  His fatherhad let him know so often how much of a disappointment he was to him,that nothing he ever did was good enough, that he was such a screw-up,that Tom doubted any woman would ever truly love him enough to want tomarry him. Then, after his father had disowned when he was courtmaritaled over Caldick Prime, he believed what his father had saideven more.  He had dated a lot of women after that, but his cocky,smart-ass attitude had sabotaged every "relationship" he tried tohave.  If he acted like a jerk, then no one would get close enough tohurt him as his father had.	He smiled as he remembered how Captain Janeway had given him a secondchance when they had all be tossed into the Delta Quadrant.  Hermentoring had been a tremendous influence on him.  It had helped himturn himself around.  When she had given him the field commission, shehad given him a new lease on life.  	Slowly, but surely, his self esteem had risen.  He had actually beganto feel he was not the loser his father said he was.  With his newfound self esteem, had come a much more pleasant personality.  Ofcourse, Harry had befriended him since day one.  It had taken longerfor B'Elanna to befriend him.  For a long time, she had only seen himas a pig, but as she saw the changes in him, she had become his friendtoo.	It was when the Vidians had taken them prisoner that he first beganto fall in love with her.  He hadn't pushed her though.  Finally, onthe Klingon Day of Honor, when they were floating in space, about todie from lack of oxygen, she admitted she loved him.  Three days laterwhen he gave her a chance to recant the statement, but to his greatjoy, she had readily affirmed that she did mean it.  Then, thinking hedid not feel the same way, she began to tell him that she did notexpect him to share those feelings.  He simply had said, "Shut up."and kissed her.....Now at 1700 hours, they were getting married.  Hesmiled at the thought............	B'Elanna had just finished packing the rest of her things.  Most ofher belongings were already in Tom's quarters.  Tom and her quartersshe corrected herself with a smile.  Harry and Susan would move therest of them while she and Tom honeymooned in Holodeck 2.  Crewmembers had generously agreed to forego the use of Holodeck 2, knowingone day they might want to do the same thing.  Neither Tom norB'Elanna wanted to spend their honeymoon on any planet.  They had toomany bad memories of disasterous away missions.  Like when Tom hadbeen falsely accused of murder, or when B'Elanna had almost ended uphaving "violent thoughts"purged.  They had decided not to take anychances with unknown alien customs and laws.	Her door chime sounded, startling her our of her reflections.  "Comein." she called.  The door slid open, and Captain Janeway walked in.	"I just came to check on you.  Wedding days are always hectic andnerve wracking.  Have you eaten lunch yet?"	"Lunch?" asked B'Elanna.  "Is it lunch time already?"	Janeway chuckled.  "It's past lunch time.  It's 1330 hours.  You'dbetter get something to eat.  1700 hours will be here before you knowit.  And you're supposed to be in Holodeck 1 at 1530 so Susan and Ican help you get ready.	B'Elanna smiled.  "Would you like to eat with me, Captain?"	"I've already eaten, B'Elanna, but I'll be glad to keep you company."she answered.	Meanwhile, Tom was puttering around his quarters.  In a couple ofdays, he and B'Elanna would be living here.  He wanted everything tobe perfect.  A few hours from now, Harry and Chakotay would arrive,and they would begin to get ready for the wedding.  B'Elanna knew thepride Tom took in having his commission back, and had insisted theyall wear their dress uniforms.  Tom looked at the living area with acritical eye.  B'Elanna's crystal vases stood on various surfaces inthe living area.  Harry was going to make sure they were all filledwith roses before Tom and B'Elanna returned from their honeymoon.  	He walked over to the couch and picked up her blanket.  He held it tohis face, inhaling her familiar, beloved scent.  Sighing, he placed itback on the arm of the couch.  Soon he thought dreamily, they would betogether forever............	His door chime sounded bringing him back to the present.  "Come in."he called, wondering who it could be.	The door slid open, and Chakotay walked in.  "Hello, Tom.  Kathyrn ischecking on B'Elanna, and suggested that I check on you.  How are youdoing?"	"I'm nervous as hell."  admitted Tom truthfully, running his fingersthrough his rumpled hair.	"That's normal, Tom.  Have you eaten lunch yet?"	Tom shook his head.  "All I've had today is a cup of coffee."	"Then you need to eat.  You don't want to pass out at your wedding." advised Chakotay.	You're right."  Tom answered.  "B'Elanna would never let me forgetthat."  He walked over to the replicator and proceeded to order somelunch.	B'Elanna, Susan, and the Captain were in a dressing room.  Neelix'sresort program had been adapted for the wedding.  One suchmodification was this luxurious dressing room.  B'Elanna's dress wasbeautiful.  It was a lacy, white, off the shoulder styled gown.  Thebodice was covered with fancy bead work, and the train flowedgracefully behind her.  As B'Elanna stood before the mirror, CaptainJaneway worked to adjust her veil.  "There, B'Elanna, it's perfect. You look absolutely beautiful."	B'Elanna blushed.  "Thank you, Captain.  Thank you for everything. Tom and I couldn't have planned this without all the help you andChakotay have given us."	"You're welcome, B'Elanna.  It's been a pleasure to help you." replied the Captain, beaming with pride.	A light knock on the door got their attention.  Susan opened the doorand found Chakotay standing there.  "It's time.  Are you ready,B'Elanna?"  he asked with a warm smile.	"We're ready."  answered B'Elanna with a warm smile, as she nervouslysmoothed her already smooth skirt nervously.	Chakotay nodded.  "You looked beautiful, B'Elanna." he reassured her.	Soon everyone was in place.  Tom and Harry stood to the right ofCaptain Janeway.  Ensign Baytart began playing "The Wedding March." Susan stepped out of the dressing room and began walking down theaisle.  She was followed by little Namoi Wildman, who was the flowergirl.  As she took her place,  Ensign Baytart played a few chords, andJaneway signaled everyone to stand.  The Bridal Chours began. Chakotay and B'Elanna stepped out.  Tom's eyes misted over as hewatched them approach.  At last, they were at Tom's side.	"Who gives this woman to be married?"  asked Captain Janeway.	"I do." answered Chakotay, as he placed her hand into Tom's.  "Takecare of her, Tom."  he whispered.	"When we first became stranded here in the Delta Quadrant, I knewsooner or later that I'd be performing weddings for the crew."  Shesmiled warmly at Tom and B'Elanna.  "I've watched as your relationshipdeveloped.  I know you truly love each other, and it's an honor tounite the two of you in marriage.  Face each other and join hands."	B'Elanna handed her bouquet to Susan and joined hands with Tom.  Theguests smiled at the radiant love shining in their eyes.	"Tom," began Janeway.  "Repeat after me.  I, Tom, take thee, B'Elanna."	"I, Tom, take thee, B'Elanna." 	"To be my wedded wife." continued the Captain.		"To be my wedded wife." repeated Tom, as he gazed lovingly intoB'Elanna's eyes.	"To have and to hold." prompted Janeway.	"To have and to hold." responded Tom.	"To love, honor, and cherish forever."  continued Janeway.	"To love, honor, and cherish forever."  said Tom with a smile.  Bothhe and B'Elanna had insisted on replacing "until death do us part"with forever.	Captain Janeway looked at B'Elanna.  "B'Elanna, repeat after me.  I,B'Elanna, take thee, Tom."	"I B'Elanna, take thee Tom."  B'Elanna's voice shook slightly, andTom tighted his grip on her hands comfortingly.	"To be my wedded husband."  continued Janeway.	"To be my wedded husband." said B'Elanna softly.	Captain Janeway who was also getting misty eyed continued.  "To haveand to hold." 	"To have and to hold."  responded B'Elanna	"To love, honor, and cherish forever." continued Janeway.	"To love, honor, and cherish forever." repeated B'Elanna with quietjoy.	"May I have the rings?"  requested Captain Janeway.  Susan and Harryhanded the rings to her.  "These rings are symbols.  The unbrokencircles are like Tom and B'Elanna's abiding love for each other."  Shehanded a ring to Tom.  "Repeat after me, Tom.  With this ring, I theewed."	Tom slid the ring on B'Elanna's finger.  "With this ring, I thee wed."	She handed the other ring to B'Elanna.  "Repeat after me, B'Elanna. With this ring, I thee wed."	B'Elanna slid the ring on Tom's hand.  "With this ring, I thee wed."	"Now, Tom will serenade his bride." said Janeway with a smile.	Tom nodded at Ensign Baytart, who began to play.  Tom began singingsoftly.			Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor					and I love you			You have made me what I am.			I am yours.	Tom tightened his grip on her hands as he continued to sing.						And my love, there's so many ways I want to					say I love you.			Let me hold you in my arms forever more.	Tom managed to keep his voice from breaking despite the tears rollingdown his cheeks.  B'Elanna also had tears running down her face.			You have gone and made such a fool of me.			And I'm so lost in your love..			And would we belong together.			Won't you believe in my song.			Lady, for so many years			I thought I'd never find you.			You have come into my life and made 					me whole.			There's no other love like our love.			And yes, yes I'll always want you near me.			I've waited for you for so long.			And, Lady, your love's the only love I need			Beside me is where I want you to be.			Cause my love, there's something I want 					you to know.			You're the the love of my life.			You're my lady.	After the song ended, the Captain waited a few seconds for Tom andB'Elanna to compose themselves.  "Tom and B'Elanna, by the powervested in me as the Captain of the USS Voyager, I now pronounce youhusband and wife.  Tom, you may kiss your bride.	Tom raised her veil and kissed B'Elanna tenderly.  AftertheyB'Elannaised <input type=text name= veil and kissed B'Elannatenderly.  After they pulled apart, Janeway smiled.  "I now present toyou Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Eugene Paris."  Baytart broke into a joyousrecessional, and Tom and B'Elanna walked down aisle together.	The receiving line was quickly formed.  The Captain and Chakotayjoined the wedding party i receiving the crew.  She noticed some ofthe crew giving her and the Commander sly looks.  Word had been passedamong the crew that Tom and B'Elanna wanted the Captain and theCommander to catch the bouquet and garter........Everyone had agreed. Most saying, "It's high time those two got married too."	Finally everyone was seated at the tables.  The senior officers wereseated with the Bridal Party.  Seven was sitting with Harry.  B'Elannacould hardly refuse Harry's request to have Seven sit with him, sincethe two were a couple now.  No matter how B'Elanna felt about her.	Soon, it was time to begin the toasts.  As the Best Man, Harry ledthem off.  "Tom, B'Elanna, may your lives be filled with joy andhappiness.  If ever there were two people who belonged together. It'sthe two of you.  May there be many little Parises in the future."	The Captain took her turn next.  "Tom, B'Elanna, may your lives befilled will happiness, and may your love grow daily."	Chakotay offered the next toast.  "B'Elanna, Tom, may you neverforget the happiness of this day.  May your future days bring you morehappiness."  A teasing smile danced across his face.  "And may therebe many little Parises to fill your lives."  Everyone laughed at thesecond reference to little Parises.	Last, Tuvok stood to offer his toast.  "Tom and B'Elanna may you bewith each other always."	Next, Tom and B'Elanna cut the cake.  Seven watched them feed eachother cake.  "Harry, why are them feeding each other the cake?"	"It's just a tradition, Seven.  It's symbolic of the care they willalways take of each other.	Finally, the wedding dance began.  The lead singer announced theBride and Groom's first dance.  The spot light landed softly on Tomand B'Elanna as they took their place in the center of the floor.  Asthe music began, they danced slowly, with love shining in their eyes.			My life was a paper			Once plain, pure , and white.			Till you moved with you pen			Changing moods now and then			Till the balance was right.	Tom held her close as they danced.  Chakotay noticed Kathyrn wiping atear from her eye, and he slid his arm around her waist and drew herclose.  She leaned against him.			Then you added some music.			Every note was in place.			And anybody could see			All the changes in me.			By the look on my face.	Tom kissed B'Elanna as they continued to dance.			And you decorated my life.			Created a world 			Where dreams are a part.			And you decorated my life			By painting your love 			All over my heart.			You decorated my life.					Like a rhyme without reason			And an unfinished song.			There was no harmony			Life meant nothing to me			And you brought out the colors			What a gentle surprise			Now I'm able to see			All the things life can be			Shining soft in your eyes.	Tom and B'Elanna stared into each others' eyes and began to softlysing the chours to each other.			And you decorated my life			Created a world			Where dreams are a part			By painting your love			All over my heart.			You decorated my life.	At the conclusion on the song, they held each other tightly.  Thesinger said, "All right, everyone on the floor."	Since they had no parents in the Delta Quadrant, Chakotay and Kathyrnfilled in for the dances they would have danced with their parents.	Later in the Evening, as they danced, Tom and B'Elanna watched theother couples dance.  They looked over at the Catain and Chakotaydancing, and shared a secretative smile.  B'Elanna noticed Harry andSeven dancing and shook her head, hoping that Harry would not get hurt.	All the women gathered as B'Elanna prepared to throw the bouquet. She turned and tossed it over her head and right into the Captain'shands.  	Next, she took a seat on a chair, and Tom slid his hands under herskirt and pulled the garter off her leg.  Turning away from the groupof men, he tossed it, and it landed as planned right into Chakotay'shands.  The crew all laughed merrily at the expressions on the Captainand Chakotay's faces when they realized they'd been set up.	Now, it was time for Tom and B'Elanna to make their departure.  Theyrushed out of Holodeck One in a flurry of rice.  They entered Holodeck2, where Tom had programmed a beautiful beach house.  He swept herinto his arms and carried her into the house. He set her down with awarm kiss. 	 "I seem to recall you being given a lingerie shower, B'Elanna.  Ialso recall you have a very special ensemble for tonight.  Why don'tyou go put it on?"  She walked to the bathroom, and Tom opened thechampagne.  When the door opened and she walked out, he simply staredfor a few moments.  She was in a long white gown, with a matchingrobe.  "You look absolutely beautiful, B'Elanna."  She walked over tohim, and he handed her a glass.  He touched his glass to hers.  "Tous.  May all our dreams come true."  The enchantment of their liveswould continue.
