“I think a garden wedding was a bad idea,” Jack whispered to Bridge as the pair
watched Sky sneeze for the millionth time. “He’s not gonna make it through the
ceremony without sneezing a million more times.”
Bridge merely shrugged and adjusted his tie again. Sky had been a nervous wreck
all morning – he’d gotten up late, had forgotten the rings and his cuff links on
his dresser, he’d been coughing and sneezing like no tomorrow, and on top of it
all, he still had a hang over from their wild night out the night before for his
bachelor party.
“Maybe he’s allergic to commitment?” Jack suggested.
“You’re a dead man, Landors,” Sky hissed even as he sneezed again. “Damn, I wish
I had a cold tablet.”
Jack and Bridge laughed. “Sky, you’ve taken three already, I’m surprised you
haven’t passed out yet,” Jack teased, but quieted as the music began and the
flower girl, Syd’s cousin Renee, Syd’s best friend from grade school, Monica,
and Z, walked down the isle.
The guys watched Sky’s face light up and his sneezing stop as soon as Sydney
came into view. The Pink Ranger looked breathtaking dressed in the empire-waist
princess wedding gown, her face and blonde curls covered by a veil.
“Who knew all it would take was Syd to distract him?” Jack whispered into
Bridge’s ear, making the best man crack up.
“Dearly beloved…”

Sydney smiled brightly as she watched the doves that were released at the end of
the ceremony. It had been her mother’s idea to have them, as the elder of the
Drew women said they were a sign of peace and new beginnings and would bring new
luck to Sydney and Sky in their life together.
The former Pink Ranger had to grin, knowing she and Sky didn’t need luck. After
everything they’d been through to get to this point, they no longer needed luck,
they simply needed each other.
It had been just over four years ago that they, along with Z, Jack and Bridge
had defeated Gruumm and his minions. It had been a long year, that battle with
Gruumm, and there had been not only a lot of casualties among the ranks of the
Academy, there had been a lot of upheavals all around, including Sydney and Sky
realizing just how much they cared for one another when they both thought they
wouldn’t live to see another day.
Sydney knew it hadn’t been long after their final battle as Rangers that Sky had
decided enough was enough and that he wasn’t going to lose her. She had fond
memories of that first year the former Blue Ranger had spent wooing her. Long
walks in the park, trips to the beach, romantic dinners for two, the trip at
Christmas to the mountains, the camping trip over his birthday, but one of the
most memorable moments that stuck out for her was her last birthday.
Sky had made reservations at a small, little French Bistro on the outskirts of
New Tech City. A limo had picked her up from the Academy and taken her home to
change before taking her to the restaurant. Sky had joined her about ten minutes
after she’d arrived and they’d had a romantic, candlelight dinner for two, and
then had gone out on the terrace and had danced for a few songs.
Sky had driven them home after that, and when they’d entered their bedroom,
Sydney remembered she’d felt like she’d stopped breathing. Their bedroom was
decorated in wall to ceiling Roses and Rose petals; they were everywhere.
Sydney remembered Sky had taken her in his arms and they’d danced to the c.d.
he’d put on until the passion between them had flared so brightly that they had
given in to its demands. The former Pink Ranger blushed now, remembering how
they’d made sweet, passionate love that had only increased in its wildness until
there had been a resounding crack that echoed in their room the moment they’d
found release in each other.
They were so wild they had broken the supports on their bed. She could laugh
about it now, Sydney thought, but it had been mortifying when it had actually
happened. Sky had laughed so hard and fallen off the bed, while she had
continued to lay under the covers, the mattress slanted so that the foot of it
was touching the floor.
“What has you looking so hot and bothered?” a warm voice whispered in her ear as
large hands wrapped around her waist, coming to rest over her stomach.
Sydney smiled and looked over her right shoulder to see her husband’s face
resting there. “I was just thinking about my birthday,” Syd told him softly,
watching the blush spread across his face. “You know, I still can’t believe we
broke the bed.”
Sky chuckled and then nuzzled the side of her neck. “I can’t either, but it sure
was fun the next night when we got to try out the new bed.”
The former Pink Ranger remembered shopping for their new bed. She had told every
salesperson they talked to they didn’t want a wooden bed, they wanted a wrought
iron one, that way they wouldn’t have to worry about it breaking. She’d never
seen so many guys blush in her life, Sky included, as she did that day.
Suddenly, a wicked thought popped into Syd’s head. Grinning, she asked softly,
“You think we can try and break the bed tonight?”
The inside joke was not lost on Sky, who laughed loud enough to draw attention.
Standing up straight, Sky spun Sydney around so that she was facing him and
locked his arms around her. “Babe, I’d be more than happy to go along with
that,” he said, wiggling his eyebrows as Sydney laughed and leaned up to wrap
her arms around him, their lips meeting in a gentle and loving kiss.
