"Hey Steve. You ready to tie the knot?" asked his old B.I.T. friend Deek.

"I am. I've been dreaming about marrying Laura ever since I was in kindergarten." said Steve as he poured himself a cup of coffee.

Waldo made eggs and bacon for everyone for breakfast with orange juice.

"This breakfast is delicious" said Eddie as he took a bite of his eggs.

"Thanks man" said Waldo.

After breakfast, the groomsmen started to get their tuxedos out of Eddie's closet, walked outside  and went into Waldo's car.

Meanwhile, Laura and her bridal party were finishing up breakfast with her parents, cousin Richie and her adoptive brother 3J. 

"Laura. Your grandmother called last night and she said that she has a surprise to give to you at the church." said Carl as he picked up his dirty dishes.

"Ok thanks for telling me." said Laura as she picked up her glass.

The bridal party started to gather their dresses while the two boys got their tuxedos.

Five minutes later, everyone was in the car carrying their wedding outfits.

When they arrived at the church, Laura put on her wedding dress in the dressing room.

Maxine did Laura's makeup, Casey, Greta, Myrtle and Donna's makeup, Kelsey and Gwendolyn's makeup and her makeup.

The bridesmaids hair was in elegant updos and the flower girls hair were done in curls with flower crowns.

An hour later, there was a knock at the door and Maxine went to answer it.

"Hi Sugar" said Estelle as she hugged her granddaughter.

"Hi Grandma" said Laura as she returned the hug.

"I brought something for you." said Estelle as she handed Laura the big box.

Laura opened it and saw a beautiful cathedral veil with lace detailing at the bottom.

"I wore this veil when I married your grandfather back in 1947. I was gonna pass it down to my daughter but I had your father and your uncles. When I found out that your mother was pregnant with you twenty one years ago I made a promise to myself that you would wear my veil for your wedding day." said Estelle.

"It's beautiful and it counts as my something old." said Laura as she handed the veil to Maxine.

"My shoes are something new." said Laura as she took them out of the shoebox.

"You can borrow my earrings that Waldo gave me for my birthday last year." said Maxine as she gave them to Laura.

"I have a blue beaded bracelet you can wear." said Myrtle as she took out her purse.

Laura put on her four things with her wedding dress and she felt like a bride.

Moments later, the guests started to arrive and it was time for the ceremony to begin.

Eddie and Maxine walked down the aisle as the best man and maid of honor.

Waldo and Greta were next to walk down the aisle.

Deek and Donna walked down the aisle.

Loomis and Casey walked down the aisle.

Myrtle and Mousepad walked down the aisle.

Herb and Roberta walked down the aisle.

Carl and Harriette walked down the aisle.

Kelsey and Gwendolyn walked down the aisle tossing the white flower petals.

Richie carried Laura's wedding ring on the blue velvet pillow and 3J carried Steve's wedding ring on another blue velvet pillow.

The Wedding March started to play as Carl and Laura walked down the aisle.

"Who gives this woman away?" asked Reverend Fuller.

"Her mother and I do." said Carl as he let go of Laura's arm.

"Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony" said Reverend Fuller.

"Do you Steven Quincy Urkel take Laura Lee Winslow as your lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold, to honor and to cherish, for rich or poor, for better or for worse until death do you part?" asked Reverend Fuller.

"I do." said Steve.

"Do you Laura Lee Urkel take Steven Quincy Urkel as your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold, to honor and to cherish, for rich or poor, for better or for worse until death do you part?" asked Reverend Fuller.

"I do." said Laura.

"Now if there's a reason about why these two shouldn't be wed let them speak now or forever hold their peace." said Reverend Fuller.

Everyone was silent.

"By the power vested in me and by the state of Illinois I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your beautiful bride" said Reverend Fuller as he closed his black bible.

Steve kisses Laura passionately on the lips as the guests clapped for them.

"Ladies and Gentlemen I would like to present Mr. and Mrs. Urkel." said Reverend Fuller.
