What You Don't Know Can't Hurt You

Bill fidgeted with the sleeves of his suit jacket. "I wasn't nervous last time. Why am I nervous now?"

Jill giggled at his side, then moved to straighten his tie. "Because now you know for a fact that the wedding is happening. Nothing is going to get in your way."

Will fixed his brother's hair. "You can do this. Don't be nervous."

Bill took a deep breath. "I can do this. Don't be nervous."

The music started, and the three immediately got in their places. Mabel was the first to walk down, smiling and walking proudly. Jill met her at the end and took her hand, kissing the back of it. They held their gaze for a long moment before letting go.

Gideon was next, grinning as he looked straight at Will. They met, and kissed briefly, whispering something to each other before breaking.

Allen came third, carrying Madison, who was the ring-bearer. He stood next to the priest, adjusting Madison's dress and dusting himself off.

Then, the music changed. Jill turned to Bill, grinning. "Get ready. He's going to make you cry."

Bill smirked. "I highly doubt that."

He turned back, and immediately ate his words. Mason emerged, walking down the aisle. Bill covered his mouth as he held back a sob, taking in the beauty of Mason all over again as he walked toward him in his dress.

Jill smirked. "I told you."

Bill took a steadying breath as he stepped down. The two locked eyes, and Mason giggled as he noticed Bill's tears. They joined hands and stepped toward the altar, standing in front of the priest. The priest said a few words, then Bill and Mason turned toward each other to say their vows.

Mason went first, taking a deep breath. "Bill. When we met, I had no idea what my future would hold. I dreamed I would meet the author of the journals, become a monster hunter in Gravity Falls, and grow old alone. I never imagined I'd meet the love of my life, and that my life would change in just a few days. I think we all had our doubts when we realized we were soulmates, but I wouldn't change it for the world. I love you, Bill, and I can't wait to spend eternity together."

Bill smiled. "Great, time to cry for a second time." Mason giggled quietly. "Mason, when I first saw you, I knew you were special. I just didn't know how special you were. You've been through so much already, and I feel honored that you're choosing to let me be by your side. And now, I'm going to be with you no matter what. When you're feeling down, or you're the best you've ever felt- I'll be right there, experiencing it with you."

The priest smiled at the couple. "William Cipher, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold until death do you part?"

Bill nodded, grinning at Mason, who was starting to cry. "I do."

"Mason Pines, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold until death do you part?"

Mason sniffed, fighting off the tears. "I do."

"Then I hereby pronounce you man and husband. You may kiss your soulmate."

As the priest stepped away, Bill pulled Mason close and dipped him. He laughed quietly, wiping away the tears that fell down Mason's cheek. "There's no need to cry. I'm right here."

Mason smiled, cupping Bill's face. "I know."

The two kissed, and the crowd erupted in cheers.
