"Ready?" Darry asks as he looks at me.

I smile as tears of joy stream down my cheeks and nod, "I'm ready."

He wipes the tears away smiling down to me, "I thought I'd never see my Sodapop get married after all of the stuff with you and Sandy. Little miss elope at what seventeen...Sixteen?"

"I was sixteen almost seventeen and he was seventeen almost eighteen," I remind him.

He smiles, "lets go Dylan."

We lock elbows and walk out of the room as the music starts. I watch as Gabbles and Izzy throw flowers down the aisle making me smile.  As we get to the alter Darry lets go and stands next to soda as he's the best man. The groomsmen ended up being, Darry, Pony, and Steve. The bridesmaids are, Lexi, Evie, and Destiny; Lexi of course was the maid of honer.

I take Soda's hands smiling as the priest starts to talk. He's the same preist that married us, so he asked if he could give a speech. I shrugged it off kind of saying yes so here it is, "I wouldn't normally do this because, it's unprofessional, but with this couple I had to. When Dylan came to me and told me the situation, I remembered this couple. She looked so familiar. I married a sixteen and seventeen year old couple. They were madly in love when I married them and I thought, they'll be divorced in two months tops. I remember talking to Dylan after the wedding over money and she asked, 'we're going to redo our vows in front of the family when I'm eighteen and he's nineteen. I was thinking because you married us, you'd redo our vows. Would you like to?' I shrugged it off saying yes, but I never thought they would ever get a chance to do it because, I thought they'd break-up. To my surprise they didn't and they're not eighteen and nineteen, but twenty and twenty one with two beautiful baby girls. When I got the call from Dylan I turned to my wife and said, 'my golly they made it.' She was so confused, but I told her all about you two.  I wish the two of you much luck as your life together continues. When I told my wife she also wanted me to give you this." He hands us a gift and we try to refuse to take it, but he insists. When we open the box we find two coffee mugs one that reads Mrs. Curtis and one that reads Mr.Curtis. "I remember Dylan telling us about how you two love coffee."

I look at him and smile, "wow, thanks. This is great."

"Don't mention it," he shrugs. "You two deserve it. Now as we came here for. You guys may now say your vows. Dylan I think we did yours first last time, so we'll do Soda's first this time."

Soda nods before starting, "I honestly have no idea how to put my love for you into words. You're a fire cracker, but I love that about you, you're sassy, but again I love that and you're independent, but once again I love that. I love everything about you from your sense of humor to your personality to your bedtime tea, but morning coffee, to how you runaway when things get rough. I love everything about you. It's funny how tough you are, but at the same time you're still a scared, hurt, little girl who needs her parents. Sadly, you lost yours, but you still have the gang. You still have me and you'll always have me 'til the day one of us dies. We've had such a wild ride, but I love you. I love you with every piece of my heart. I have so much love for our little family it's insane, in a good way. I hope we're together until we can't, but if not, I'll always love you and you'll always be my little pickle...Always and forever."

"Sodapop, where do I begin? We've had a wild ride, but I wouldn't trade it for a perfectly normal relationship because, everything thing we've been though has made us stronger and love each other more. I wish we didn't spend this last year apart, but we did and we can't change that now sadly. I know we'll be together forever because, no matter how hard I try to stay away, I always find a way back into your loving arms. The best part is, I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm begging you to never leave for good because, I think I'd go insane. We are meant to be together Sodapop and nobody can deny that. I love you with all my heart and nobody could ever change that. I love our girls. I love the gang. I love our family. I love our life. I love us. I love you. I love everything Sodapop and that's because of you. You showed me the light in the world when everything was pitch black. You made me happy when I gave up. You pulled me out of depression and made me fall in love. We fell in love with each other because of you. What we have now all this love and happiness is because of you Sodapop. I can't thank you enough for that, but I can love you. I can try my best. I can show you I care. I can do everything in my power to thank you enough even though it's impossible. I want to thank you for believing me in when even I didn't and for giving me the strength to continue when all the signs around me told me to give up. You truly saved my life and I love you for that. I will love you 'til the day I die. I love you so much my Pepsi-cola....Forever and always," as I speak a few tears escape my eyes every now and then.

Biz comes up giving us our rings and the priest starts again, "repeat after me. With this ring.."

"With this ring," we both repeat holding each others ring.

"I re-pledge my love..."

"I re-pledge my love..."

"And my loyalty..."

"And my loyalty..."

"To you."

"To you," we both repeat the end of the sentence before sliding the ring onto each others finger. 

"You may now kiss your wife," the priest smiles. He leans and kisses me quickly and lovingly. "I am now reintroducing Mr. and Mrs. Sodapop Curtis."

We grab each others hand and start to walk down the aisle as the gang cheers in the background. At the middle of the aisle I grab Gabble's hand and Soda grabs Izzy's.
