Seems that CrazyGoose had one more stop to make before she met 3Gun. It was not certain why or what it was all about but Parker, the newspaper editor, Deputy CrookedSmile and Sheriff Billy were all involved in some kind of meeting at the Sheriff's jail.
She arrived at the bakery and was upset because she thought he had baked a cranberry wedding cake but when they got to the church, after picking up some blue Hyacinths to complete the old, something borrowed, something blue superstition, Rue knew right away what it was and was thrilled. Everybody was there when they got to the church, and just ahead of them was stannbear, carrying little Ron.
Unger, the minister, began the ceremony and CrazyGoose stepped back allowing Ruechari, in a beautiful bridal gown, to join her groom, next to 3Gun, the best man. Billy had a grin a mile wide as Unger made the final pronouncement.
Back to saloon for the big after party CrazyGoose had arranged. Decorations and music and the special Red Velvet cake that was made from Missy's recipe. The dancing was wild, the music loud and Raven was serving drinks faster than 3Gun's draw. Eventually the guests began leaving and the close friends left in a group, wishing the couple a happy married life together.

The wedding, and seeing everyone so happy, made 3Gun pause to reflect on his own life a little. Rue had Billy now. Lean and stannbear were together with little Ron. Kae and her husband were working together happily. He thought about CrazyGoose and the wager he had made over stannbear's newsprint. He still owed her that dinner and this time it would happen.
He made arrangements with Lean to have the whole diner to themselves and she gave him a good deal along with a special meal. During the meal he took out a small plush box, opening the lid and offering it to CrazyGoose. She was stunned when she looked inside and saw the contents. A silver locket and chain and inside was a mini cranberry muffin.
