Now with the official part out of the way the fun can begin! Cats and dogs have freshened up, dried the tears, exchanged the kisses - unfortunately no details were available - and the immediate family and wedding party has changed into some formal wear. Brody and Dicky Duck finally made it too, they thought the wedding was today, hahahahahahahahahahahaha.
And a lot of guests are gathered here, please go over and have a look - some are really dressed up!
Everybody gathers in the holodeck - no need for lengthy preparations on a starship! You just tell the computer which environment you want to have - and voila! Karl and Ruis opted for a classic ballroom with lots of windows and chandeliers - to see the food better!
Karl and Ruis open the party with a classic waltz. Captain Janeway is close to tears, like some others before... And then the official party begins! There are bottles and bottles of Lizquila, and wine, and of course Dom Niptignon. The nip and shrimp shakes for the little ones are in holodeck 2, by the jukebox... we get to this later!
Everybody gathers and even some crew members can not resist the delicious flavors of shrimp salad, salmon, ham, Talaxian Stew and beef that are making their way through the whole ship.
Neelix has set up a jukebox in another holodeck for the more energetic crowd of younger kittens and they are dancing away! And Neelix joins in and does a Jitterbug with Mike!
Then it is time for Karl and Ruis to leave the party. Leave when it is at it's best, right? They will take the Delta Flyer and go on a honeymoon at an undisclosed location. You could say that this location is the best kept secret in the universe right now, Sassy. Seven of Nine gives them both a kiss good bye while Janeway repeats her invitation for them to come back and visit Voyager with less of an entourage.
In the Delta Flyer and out of Voyager they go - where no cat has gone before!
All the guest are looking on to wave good bye - they will undoubtedly keep on partying and undoubtedly provide nice material for Emil....
And sure enough - someone spent some time in the shuttle bay and put all these barrels on the Delta Flyer and painted a big "Just Married" on the hull. Off they go to their well deserved honeymoon!
Karl and Ruis would like to thank everybody who came and visited and gave gifts and posted at the reception blog and helped make this the most wonderful wedding ever! They will be on their honeymoon until June 12 and then Karl and Ruis will spend some time together in the Netherlands, which will be posted about at Ruis' blog!
They will come and visit each and every one of you! It might just not be tomorrow... BEAR WITH THEM! They will come by, and they do appreciate all of you IMMENSELY!
Live long and prosper and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your friendship!
