Stained Glass Breaks and So Do Hearts

The Wedding

After Carlos was released from the hospital, things within the kingdom began to improve as well. Carlos and Ben had finally worked out their communication issues and were taking things day by day happily. The protests died off over time and King Adam's usual grumblings became quieter and quieter. It was as if finally, for the first time since the original four came to Auradon that the peace finally settled back in.

The bachelor party for Ben and Carlos was mostly innocent until Uma had paid Harry Hook to come to and dressed as an Auradon City Police officer. It was quite amusing to everyone but Ben who clung to Carlos possessively, covering his eyes as the pirate began removing clothing. Other than Uma's little prank, everything leading up to the wedding day went smoothly. It put Carlos on the edge how peaceful things were, but Ben assured him that everything would be fine, and it was.

Finally, the day of the wedding came, and Carlos had stayed the night with Evie to prevent the grooms from seeing each other until they were at the altar. So, Evie helped Carlos get dressed and prepared while former King Adam helped Ben get ready. The two were understandably nervous but neither had cold feet, it was something they were more excited about than anything else. Evie had really outdone herself this time, designing for both Ben, Carlos, and their groomsmen. Carlos had Evie, Mal, and Jay as groomsmen with Jay as his man of honor. Ben had Audrey, Doug, and Uma as his groomsmen with Audrey as his Maid of Honor. Dude was the ringbearer.

The wedding was themed in gold, white and red. Everything within the church had been changed from it's usual blues and golds to this new color scheme. The floral arrangement consisted of red and white roses. Everything from the carpeted steps was prepared in advance with no cost spared. It would be Auradon's most grand and romantic wedding yet.

From the moment Carlos woke up, his head was in the clouds. He wasn't just imagining what it would be like to be married and to be a king but remembering where this all started. The pain that all of this began in and the months of pining for someone he never even imagined would return those feelings. He remembers the first dance where Carlos couldn't hold back the pain anymore and the day he asked Belle and Adam to give Ben time to himself because it was ruining a relationship that hurt him. Carlos smiled guiltily, recalling the time that Carlos finally broke Mal's love spell on Ben and the two first kissed. It was like a cloud of happy and sad memories was lifting him off the ground and leaving him to float in bliss. All of those memories had come to collect for this one occasion. His marriage to the man who makes him happier than anything else in the whole world.

Carlos was quickly removed from his floating as Evie stormed into the room like a violent breeze, blowing his cloud away. She quickly began fussing over him before shooing him into the bathroom, tuxedo in hand. Carlos' suit was White with black lining and gold detailing. It was an exquisite set of clothing that once he had on, made the gravity of what he was doing hit him. He was getting married and becoming king. The very idea made his stomach do flips. Evie once again stormed in to yank Carlos abruptly from his thoughts and fret over his hair and face, even doing the lightest of makeup just for photo reasons. Evie was like a harmless bee buzzing around him like he was a fresh may flower. Evie had apparently gotten up very early as she was already dressed in a red bridesmaid dress with white and gold accents.

Ben meanwhile was already dressed in his suit and being fretted over by Belle instead. She smiled and wrapped her arms around her son hugging him.

"You look wonderful Ben. I can't believe you are getting married... it feels like just yesterday you were a little boy who would steal chocolate from the kitchens and sit in my study to hide and read... You've grown into such a strong and brave man now." Her eyes wet but not crying.

"I love you, mom," Ben said fighting the wetness of his own eyes. The two hugging tightly before former King Adam joined the hug. "I love you too Dad," Ben added and the three shared a small light-hearted laughing. There was a magic in the air, that was lifting everyone's spirits and reminding them of the beauty of this day and the lives they have lived, even for the VKs who didn't have the nicest of lives.

Everyone slowly made their way to the church. There was a massive crowd outside to celebrate the wedding. They cheered and cried as the cars pulled up to the church and everyone got into position. Ben was the first to enter, with the guests waiting already seated, behind him were his groomsmen and then Carlos' groomsmen. The doors closed and everyone settled quietly as a choir began to sing and here comes the bride began to play. The door opened once again, and Carlos was led down the Isle by Adam who gave Carlos away to his son. Once the two were finally at the altar, they couldn't help but drink each other in. They were beyond excited and overwhelmed. Ben had started to cry while Carlos had come down the aisle, he couldn't help himself. Now he was grinning with wet eyes as Fairy Godmother began the ceremony. When the time came the two exchanged vows. First was Ben.

"I knew I loved you the moment you stepped out of that limo with chocolate on your fingers and that adorable confusion in your eyes. I've loved you ever since and my love for chocolate has grown with it. You have worked your little paw prints all over my heart and I'll never be the same again. Today I promise to you that I will love you every single day. Cherish everything you have to say and remind you that you are my world. Because today, I'm giving my whole kingdom for just... one... kiss." Ben beamed handsomely as Carlos let out a tearful giggle, overjoyed by his love.

"Things for us haven't been easy. We've been troubled since the start from spells, evil villains, pirates, and so much more. Yet the one thing that never changed was how I felt about you. I never knew what love was on the Isle, but I do now. I know that I love you and that you mean more to me than all the chocolate and puppies in the whole wide world. I promise you that I will always love you and treat you like the only king. Take care of you and be there for you to lean on. I really do love you to my core." Carlos couldn't help but cry a little bit at his own words. The two slipped on gold wedding rings. Fairy godmother removed her wand from her case and Carlos kneeled as Ben had so long ago it seems.

"Do you solemnly swear to govern the peoples of Auradon with justice and mercy as long as you shall reign and take King Ben as your Husband?" Fairy Godmother asked beaming with goodness and joy.

"I do." Carlos smiled up at Ben who placed a crown upon his head.

"Then it is my honor and my joy to bless our new king and our new couple." She sprinkled him in a golden shower of sparkles as he stood up. "You may now kiss the Groom."

The two were pulled as if by gravity into the most meaningful kiss of their lives. Everyone cheered and the world seemed to bask in the union of these true love.

And they lived Happily Ever After. The End.
