"Here they come!" The photographer accounced happily. "Smile nicely, parents and grandparents, yes." He said, motioning with a waving hand for everyone to get closer. "God, what ugly kids..." He muttered, preparing his camera for the next picture.

The groom by the name of John Entwistle walked up to his best man by the name of John Deacon, setting his hand on his shoulder. "Well, I guess we really did it, huh?"

John nodded his head and smiled. "Oh, there's no doubt about it! You and Keith have been inseparable since you took Dr. Townshend's refresher course!"

"Well, to tell you the truth, Deaks, that was the only reason I stayed in the class, I mean-"

"Okay wankers, this is it!" Keith shouted as he turned around on the porch. "You ready?"

"Looks like Keith's going to throw her bouquet!"

All the ladies flocked around waiting for the beautiful bride to throw the bouquet.

As the tied flowers soar through the air, the women jump in attempt to grab it. Suddenly, Veronica leaped into the air and quickly snatched the bouquet.

"I caught it! I caught it, everyone! I caught it!!!" She exclaimed, jumping with joy.

"Hey, big fella, looks like it could be your turn next."

"Oh," John sighed with a small laugh. "Who knows?"

The newly-wed couple hurried inside their car and began to drive off in their car, nearly all the wedding guests following with them, continuing to throw rice and wish them luck.

Only two people were left on the outside of the church, which was as perfect an opportunity as any.

"Hey, Veronica..." John spoke in his quiet manner, looking at his girlfriend.

"Yes, John?" Veronica asked, still holding her friend's bouquet she had caught.

"I've got something to say..."

"Uh huh?" She asked, her eyes gleaming.

"I really loved..." He paused, trying to find the right words. After all, John never spoke too much and wasn't good at wording things. "-the skillful way... you beat- the other girls- to the bride's bouquet."

"Oh, John," she blushed, managing the flowers blooming around the ribbon.

While John was usually a quite introverted person and not much a fan of his own singing, he had built up enough courage to sing to the woman he loved. Suddenly a crack of thunder burst, but it wasn't very very frightening to them.

"The river was deep, but I swam it!"

Veronica.

"The future is ours, so let's plan it!"

Veronica.

"So please, don't tell me to can it!"

Veronica.

He clutched her shoulders, looking her straight in the eye. "I've one thing to say and that's dammit, Veronica! I love you!"

She leaned in for a kiss, but before their lips could meet, John had backed away and began walking backwards as he continued. "The road was long, but I ran it!"

Veronica.

"There's a fire in my heart and you fan it!" He announced, placing his hands on the left side of his chest.

Veronica.

Veronica watched in amazement at how outgoing his actions were. Was this even John? "If there's one fool for you, then I am it!"

Veronica.

"I've one thing to say and that's..." He ran to the church door and drew a heart on it, then turned forward, facing his love. "Dammit, Veronica! I love you!"

Veronica squealed with joy and ran up the stairs to the church door. John quickly grabbed her and spun her around, much to her delight. He then got on one knee, showing a beautiful ring. "Here's the ring to prove that I'm no joker!" He sang, adorably hitting a high note. "There's three ways that love can grow!" He took the ring out of the box as he hit a sudden low note. "That's good, bad, or mediocre!" As he attempted to put the ring on Veronica's finger, the wind and his awkwardness knocked the ring out of his hands, causing the two to scramble in search for it.

Quickly finding the small shining object, he shouted loudly, "Oh, V-E-R-O-N-I-C-A, I love you so!"

Looking at the ring, she exclaimed and ran into the church, much to John's surprise, causing him to fall on the concrete steps. "Oh, it's nicer than Keith Moon had!"

Oh John.

"Now that we're engaged, I'm so glad!"

Oh John.

As he followed behind her, she looked up at him as he held her hand showing the new ring. "That you've met Mom and you know Dad!"

Oh John.

"There's one thing to say and that's John, I'm mad for you too!"

She clutched his arms as the two walked up the aisle that was used nearly 10 minutes ago by their best friends. "Oh, John!"

"Oh... dammit!" He said, at a loss for words at how a lady as lovely as Veronica would say yes to him.

"I'm mad!" She exclaimed

"Oh... Veronica!" He said, blushing the slightest bit.

"For you!"

"I love you too!" The two caressed each other's hands as they reached the alter.

"There's just one thing left to do!" They both announced as their lips neared each other.

"...and that's go see the man who began it!" He said, breaking from the romantic grip.

Veronica.

"When we met in his science exam-it!"

Veronica.

"Made me give you the eye and then- panic." She giggled at him and looked down.

Veronica.

"Now there's one thing to say and that's dammit, Veronica! I love you!"

He held her close and they began dancing in the aisle. "Dammit... Veronica..."

"Oh John... I'm mad..."

"Dammit... Veronica..."

The two looked each other in the eye as they sang three words in unison. "I... love... you..."

The deadpan 2 cleaning up the church scowled as they brought in a large coffin and the now-engaged couple happily (and very slowly) walked out.
