        "The program you designed was great, Harry," Tom said.  "Where did you
come up with the idea?"
        "Thanks," Harry said, "but, it wasn't all my work.  Kes helped a lot."
        The wedding ceremony was perfect.  Tom and B'Elanna were married on a
beautiful tropical island, just as the sun was setting in the background.
Everyone agreed that it was a wonderful ceremony, and now everyone was
enjoying the reception.
        Tom held his new wife close to him as they danced, thinking about all that
they had been through to get to this moment. In only a few short months
they would be home.
        B'Elanna looked radiant. This was truly the happiest day of her life.
Even though she was very happy, a part of her wished that Chakotay was
there to see her get married.
        Nobody had been the same since Chakotay's death.  Especially the Captain.
She very rarely smiled anymore, but tonight, she was all smiles as she
watched the newlyweds dance.  The wedding was just what everyone had needed
to boost morale.  At least that's what Neelix said.  He wasn't the Chief
Morale Officer or cook anymore, but he still loved to see people happy.
He'd become a big annoyance to Tuvok during his training exercises because
of his constant need to make Tuvok crack a smile.  His efforts had proved
unsuccessful thus far.
