Lisa is radiant.

Pictured are ringbearer Bowie Grant, son of Vincent and Jean Grant; Vice Admiral Richard Hunter; Admiral Lisa Hayes; flower girl Dana Sterling, daughter of Maximillian and Miriya Sterling; and Chaplain Michael Alessandri.

"With this ring, I thee wed," says Rick Hunter to Lisa Hayes.

The almost eternal first kiss of Mr. and Mrs. Hunter.

Open wide.

Commander Maximillian Sterling introduces the vocal duo Lynn-Minmei and Janice Em.

Facing the crowd.

Minmei and Janice sing "Together."

Lisa and Rick enjoy the moment.

The first dance of the Admirals Hunter.

Lieutenant Commanders Vincent and Jean Grant watch happily.

The first dance ends.

Colonel Jonathan Wolff--aka the Big Bad Wolff--makes his move toward Minmei with Janice by her side.

Wolff was overheard by Sentients contributors as saying to Minmei, "Do you know how long I've been wanting to meet you?"

"No," interrupts Janice. "Try humming a few bars."

Next, Janice leaves, and Minmei excuses herself. It's a narrow escape for the songstress, but Minmei manages not to fall prey to the long-rumored charms of the Big Bad Wolff.

Fortunately for her, Wolff will be half a galaxy away tomorrow, avoiding another chance for her heart to be broken by a soldier again. Whew! That was a close one.

Ensign Jack Baker meets Ensign Karen Penn, daughter of Dr. Harold Penn.

Drs. Harold Penn and Emil Lang discuss the new recruits.

An extra close shot of Ensign Karen Penn taken for no other reason than that the photographer hasn’t had a date in over a year.

Bowie Grant and Dana Sterling do their best to ensure there will be no leftover wedding cake.

The Admirals Hunter experience a mutiny the day before anyone goes aboard the SDF-3.

Fortunately, the crew is only armed with confetti.

The great escape.

Lisa gives fair warning to any singles who don't want to settle down anytime soon.

After a shove from Janice, Minmei finds herself amidst far more willing participants.

Liftoff in three...two...one...

...zero!

Minmei, the recipient.

The Hunters start their retreat to...safer ground...

After registering disbelief over Rick and Lisa finally tying the knot, Lieutenant Commander Miriya Sterling practices her Human expressions by saying to Max, "Pinch me. I think I'm dreaming." Max obliges--literally.

An inconsiderate and invasive close-up of Minmei taken by the same photographer eyeing young female ensigns. Really, Phil, we need to get you a date.

In a Sentients Magazine exclusive, we have a pre-ceremony picture of Rick Hunter and Lisa Hayes with other wedding party participants, along with some of the attendees which include a couple randomly selected ensigns. Due to a mistake on the part of the REF uniform designers, Lisa ended up with two wedding dresses. She decided not to let either dress go to waste; before wearing her preferred gown for the wedding, she wore the other dress and had encouraged others to wear their “second-choice attire” for a photoshoot that preceded the ceremony.

According to Sentients fashion editor Natalie Robbins, “Lisa has celebrities buzzing about what she’s done once word got out. She might not have wanted a stylishly trendy wedding, but Lisa may have actually started a new clothing craze for pre-ceremony celeb wedding pictures.” Time will tell.
