Brendon proposed to Ryan a year after they graduated. They started planning their wedding as soon as Ryan said yes through nods because they couldn't even say yes while they were crying, and they planned their wedding to be on November 11th, 2018. The wedding ceremony would start at 11:00 A.M., and they were going to bust their asses off on their wedding day to make sure they got married at 11:11.

Brendon watched his to-be-husband walk down the aisle wearing an all white tux, tied together with a white bow, at 11:05. Josh was Brendon's best man, and as a joke, Ryan had asked Tyler to be his maid of honor. Ryan's hair still looked like the wet mop it had been throughout high school, and Brendon never realized how much he loved it until now.

Ryan made it down to Brendon at 11:06, and the minister began speaking to the happy couple and everyone witnessing their marriage. Patrick, Pete, Tyler, Josh, even Dallon and Breezy were there. The two had worked out their relationship, and Dallon, Brendon, and Ryan had worked out their problem before the wedding. Sarah, Brendon's best friend besides Ryan obviously, had been there with her girlfriend Hayley. Brendon's family was there as well, but Ryan's was not. They weren't even invited.

"Brendon and Ryan, today you are surrounded by your friends and family, all of whom have gathered here to witness your marriage and to share in the joy of this special occasion. Today, as you join yourselves in marriage, there is a vast and unknown future stretching out before you. The possibilities and potentials of your married life are great; and now falls upon your shoulders, the task of choosing your values and making real your dreams. Through your commitment to each other, may you grow and nurture a love that makes both of you better people. A love that continues to give you great joy, and also a passion for living that provides you with energy and patience to face the responsibilities of life."

11:07. Josh had the rings, and he quickly gave them to the minister, who gave them to Brendon and Ryan. They took turns in putting the rings on each other's fingers, and then they began their wedding vows.

"George Ryan Ross III, I have loved you since the moment I laid eyes on you. I hadn't noticed it at first, but I had a good feeling we were going to get along just fine. When you kissed me for the first time, I felt something new inside me, and it was my love for you. When you first moved in with me, I looked forward to seeing your beautiful face every morning. When I proposed to you, and you couldn't even get the word 'yes' out of your mouth because you were crying so much, I knew I wanted to live alongside you for the rest of my life. I love you so much, Ryan."

11:08.

"Brendon Boyd Urie, you have been my best friend since we were sophomores in high school. You have been the man I fell in love with since we started texting each other late at night sneakily so our parents would think we were sleeping. You have helped shaped me into the person I am today than the person I used to be who was afraid to speak their mind and tell the truth about myself, and for that, I am eternally grateful."

11:10. The minister began speaking again.

"Brendon, do you take thee, Ryan, to be your lawfully wedded husband, promising to love and cherish, through joy and sorrow, sickness and health, and whatever challenges you may face, for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

"And Ryan, do you take thee Brendon, o be your lawfully wedded husband, promising to love and cherish, through joy and sorrow, sickness and health, and whatever challenges you may face, for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

11:11

"You may now kiss the groom."

After the ceremony, the reception began, and the two were about to start the first dance. Tyler, with his ukulele, walked up on the stage, and had everyone's attention when he tapped the mic.

"Hi everyone. Some of you may know me, some may not, my name is Tyler, and I'm Ryan's 'maid of honor.' Even though the fucker is gender fluid. One day, back in our good ol' high school days, I sang a cover of Elvis' Can't Help Falling In Love, and Ryan had asked me to sing it at their wedding. Now they may have been joking at the time, but I'm happy to be on this stage right now and sing it for them and Brendon."

When Tyler began strumming the strings on his ukulele, Brendon and Ryan started dancing, and Ryan was so close to tears. They never knew that they would ever get this far in life, let alone with the love of their life. And Brendon felt the same way.
