So tomorrow is the big day. Very big day. Tomorrow I marry Tarishiana, my Imzadi. I remember the first time I heard her voice in my head. Then she heard mine. I remember back on the Thor when we showed up on Betazed, after the Cardassians and Dominion were driven out. I thought it was so odd to watch an entire populace communication with one another, but without hardly a word spoken. And then it happened.

Now we have a beautiful daughter and tomorrow we begin our life as an official family back home on the family ranch in Idaho. I haven't been back there for a long time. Am I glad we aren't doing a Betazoid wedding there. Talk about cold.


The old ranch....I remember going there in the summer during my breaks from school. I also remember looking at Earth through he giant planetarium on Mars and wishing I could see the ranch. Grandad always had the best iced tea there for lunch. Every Quinn family wedding has taken place there since the twenty second century. And funny thing is, the homestead hasn't really changed a whole lot. It's exactly how I remember it as a kid.

Enough of memory lane. I have to get some sleep and get ready for the rest of my life, everafter.
