3 years later...

It was a beautiful summer day on the beach of Storybrooke. The brown wooden chairs were decorated with water lilies, along with blue and white streamers, tiki torches surrounding the area. The Jolly Rodger standing behind in full view. Snow sat next to Mr. Gold, with Zelena and Graham on the other side; all staring at the handsome former pirate in dashing tuxedo. Everyone from town gathered for this occasion.

Belle was the first to emerge down the beach with Robin Hood. Neal and Tinkerbell came down together next; then the maid of honor Regina, showing off pregnant stomach well in her dress, with the best man, Henry. Little Rose and Gabriel came holding hands came their flower basket and pillow with the rings. Finally, came the savior, being walked by her father, linked in his arm to keep her from falling out of fear. He gave her away, with a kiss on the cheek, letting the two become husband and wife.

-------------------

The reception was held at Granny's. Every person thrilled for the bride and groom. The Gold's watched in aw seeing their daughter with the littlest Charming, Rumple having a slight eye in over protectiveness. The Hood-Mills family sat at a table trying to decide names on its newest member soon to come. Neal and Tinkerbell sat happily to themselves, however hard it was, he could genially feel happy for Emma. Happy, smiling faces all around the restaurant. Hearing the sound silverware against a glass drink got everyone's attention, to the proud parents of the couple.

Snow was the first the speak, "When I became pregnant with Emma, I was so excited of all the things I was going to be able to teach her. Walking, talking, how to dance for her first ball. Then when the curse was cast, I was terrified, how much I miss. Seeing her smile for the first time, first day of school. But I am so glad; I was able to see her, on her wedding day. Emma I couldn't be more proud, to see you off on the best quest of your life. And I wish you a nothing but happiness on it."

David was next, "I've protected Emma since she was born, putting her into that wardrobe, and since we found her, I've wanted to keep protecting her. Now, it's time for someone else to protect her... and I couldn't think of anyone else better to do so. Emma, Killian, I know you to will be very happy together, here's to you both."

Later on into the party Neal as well got everyone's attention hitting his utensil against his glass, "Emma, for the longest time I thought this day was going to be you and me, but fate has a funny way of working out, and if we weren't meant to end up together, I'm glad I had the privilege of falling in love. Now it's someone else's turn, and I know, he's the right guy for you to end up. Like I think this woman right here," He gestured to Tink, "is the right one for me. She showed me I could love again, and I don't wanna let that go ever again." He got down on one knee pulling out a little box with a beautiful ring, "Tinkerbell, will you mar-"

"Yes!" Not even giving him time answer, not that he needed it. She pulled him up kissing him with all her love.

The fairy at first felt guilty for taking away from Emma and Hook's day, but they already knew this was going to happen. Neal asked for their blessing to propose at the reception before, and they couldn't be happier for their friends.

The newly weds headed off on the Jolly Rodger for their honeymoon, their family seeing them off before returning home. For the first time, each citizen could say, they all lived happily ever after
