In a disguise, Jack entered Friar Claptrap's basement, successfully avoiding unwanted attention. After taking a look around and only seeing said robot, he took off his hood and greeted him, "Yo."


At this, Claptrap waved and started dancing, "This is gonna be great! I'm sure nothing bad is ever going to come out of this marriage!" 


Jack gave the robot a strange look and crossed his arms, sighing to himself, "Okay... But whatever happens to me doesn't matter, as long as I get to call Rhys mine."


"Aw! But minion, a wise man once said that if you love too fast, you'll explode! Or something! Like how you have only known Rhys for two days but you're already getting married to him!" Claptrap started flailing his arms around, "I don't  want you to explode!"


Jack pinched the bridge of his nose, "I don't think anyone has ever said that, you friggin' idiot."


At this, Rhys finally entered the basement and waved towards Claptrap, who rushed towards Rhys and gave him a high five. After that loving greeting, Rhys dashed to Jack and quickly engulfed him into a hug. 


Claptrap danced around the two, ruining what would have been an intimate moment, "Both the minions are here! Now I can finally get revenge on Atlas, mwahaha!"


The two separated, Jack throwing Claptrap a glare, but moving on to take Rhys's face with his hands, whispering, "Rhys, if you're as happy as I am and if you are better with words, tell me about the happiness you imagine we'll have in our marriage."


"Oh, Jack, I can imagine more than I can say, but I think of it this way; anyone who can count how much they have is poor, but your love has made me so rich that I cannot count even half of my wealth," Rhys whispered back, words drowning in a kiss between the two lovers. 


Again, Claptrap interrupted, bouncing up and down, "Come on! Let's get you two married!" Claptrap made a hurling sound, "Don't want to leave you two alone until you're married!"


At this, Jack and Rhys parted once more and approached the altar with Claptrap. They were more ready than ever to begin their married life.


A/N: Sooo, back in Shakespearean times, they weren't allowed to act out holy scenes, such as a wedding, in plays and whatnot. So, to honor that, I've decided to exclude a wedding scene, just as they did in the original play. Don't want Shakespeare rolling in his grave too hard!
