A/N: Just a little one-shot of two certain Greasers on their wedding day, and it could possibly happen in my other "The Outsiders" fan-fics, but who knows…maybe it will, and maybe it won't. I might do other one-shots of the other Greasers wedding days or just birthdays, or anything you guys have to suggest, but it has to be obviously clean and appropriate to write! Now…here goes the first ever Greasers wedding…enjoy and please review! :D
The beautiful spring day of March was certainly one that the Greasers gazed at differently…usually Two-bit would be pouring some beer all over the colorful flowers, claiming that they 'looked thirsty', while Steve would be pulling the green grass out of the ground with his bare hands because it was too green, and Dallas would be screaming and hollering up at the sun in the clear blue sky, complaining away that it was too warm or something that typical Greasers usually think deserves bucking over…but on March 27 of yet years after Johnny and Dally survived their injuries and Ponyboy's thesis becoming a very popular and published book…the Greasers absolutely adored this day that was actually happening…they all couldn't believe it, in a good way, that is…
It was, like stated before, March 27 after the many years had passed sense Pony's writing assignment and his and Johnny's runaway trip to Winderix over the self-defense murder of Bob the Soc. The clock had just struck 6:10 in the evening…meaning that the sun was shining all beautifully and goldenly in its bright pink, gold, red, and orange sunset in the brightly colored evening sky. It was warm out, considering that it was the season of spring. Not too hot and not too cold…just right.
Just ten more minutes away and something would start…something absolutely beautiful and amazing…extremely golden, according to the Greasers gang…it was somebody's wedding day.
Each member in the gang, including Jocelyn from college, received a wedding invitation, the exact words reading off this on the fancy paper:
You're invited to the beautiful, bonding-heart ceremony of the wedding of Kitten Elizabeth Andrews and Ponyboy Michael Curtis. Both the bride and groom are hoping to have you arrive and watch them both happily speak their vows when gazing right into each others eyes, getting ready to spend the rest of their joyful lives together.
Where: Spring Grave Meadows
When: March 27
Time: 6:20
Will after party be held right after: Yes
After party time: Up until the clock strikes 1:00 A.M.
Where the after party be held: The Dingo
Once again, the soon-to-be happily married weds hope they'll see you supporting them on this very special day.
Special thanks from,
Kitten Andrews-The Bride
Ponyboy Curtis-The Groom
None of the other Greasers could believe it, especially Darry and Soda, considering that nobody in the gang was married yet, and Ponyboy was their baby brother, who was just so happening to be the first ever Greaser to tie the knot and happily spend the rest of his life with his best female friend sense they were only thirteen-year-old teenagers.
Spring Grave Meadows was obviously a beautiful meadow, argo its name, and it could be booked with weddings, birthday parties, graduations, etc, but on that spring day, it was only being held for Ponyboy and Kitten's wedding. Beautiful flowers, all different shades and colors, covered different parts all over the perfect green grass, and the evening breeze blew so gently, making the green leaves in the trees whistle beautifully, and the lake behind where Kitten and Ponyboy were going to make their promises and vows sparkled clearly under the sunset, shining off its glittering reflection.
Ponyboy was in the groom room with Darry, Sodapop, Jazz, Johnny, Two-bit, Steve, and Dally, who were all grinning widely with pure joy and happiness, each of them dressed in handsome tuxes with ties around their necks, and their hair was neatly brushed, but their usual amount of hair grease was still applied in. Ponyboy didn't decide to use hair grease that day though. It was his wedding day for Pete's sake! Socs even decided to come because they were friends of Kitten's folks who hardly even noticed her, Kevin and Cindy. Believe it or not, they were actually there, too! Kitten's four little brothers weren't though. They were all off at different colleges, not wanting to arrive back in Tulsa just to watch their older sister get married, but that didn't bother Kitten one bit.
Ponyboy stood still with his big, handsome smile also plastered and stuck on his face as he stared at his reflection in the mirror of the grooms room. Darry and Soda were both helping their baby brother get prepared a bit more while the rest of the gang settled down in the chairs that were available to sit in, in the room.
"Kid, I didn't know you actually had this in you, actually proposing and getting married first before all of us," Dallas chuckled
"Dally, how many times do I have to tell you that I'm not a kid anymore? Need I remind you that I'm about to watch my bride walk down the aisle in a couple of minutes?" Ponyboy questioned, keeping his greenish-grayish eyes on his reflection as Sodapop combed his hair a bit more, and Darry fixed his tie from around his neck a little better.
Dally shrugged his shoulders, continuing to grin his devious, but yet happy smile, as he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up, offering one to Johnny-cake afterwards, but Johnny told him no thanks because he didn't want to smoke during the wedding.
"Say, Ponyboy," Two-bit snickered "you and Kitty going to have kids right after you both tie the knot and hit it off on your honeymoon in…um, didn't you tell us that you and Kitten are going on a trip to San Francisco for it?"
Ponyboy's ears then turned red as his face started to heat up a bit at just thinking about Two-bit's first question about him and Kitten actually trying for children the exact minute they jet off on their honeymoon. Pony narrowed his eyes, keeping them straight on his reflection sense he could see the gang each sitting around in the background, including Soda and Darry still helping him get ready.
"Chicago, Two-bit," Ponyboy then corrected the wisecracker of the gang. "And no, Kitten and I are going to wait so we can settle into our very own house first. After that, then we'll try for a baby,"
Steve's grin grew a little more devious, but remained happy at the same time, just like Dally's as he released some chuckles from his lips.
"You're missing out on a lot, kid," Steve muttered in such a soft voice, thinking to himself that nobody could hear him.
Soda narrowed his eyes, knowing exactly what Steve just said though.
"Steve…" Soda warned
Steve's hands shot up to his shoulders in order to defend himself with his best friend.
"Hey, I'm just sayin'!" Steve informed
"Stevie has a point, ya gotta admit. It's like the saying says, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes-" Two-bit sang with some of his laughter interrupting his words.
"Can it, Matthews!" Dally ordered, throwing one of the pillows from the chair that he was sitting in at Two-bit, hitting him square in the face, and slimly rubbing over the top of his hair.
"Ah! My hair!" Two-bit cried out, as if he was some Soc girl, and he quickly pulled out his comb from his pocket and started combing his dark brown, hair greased hair with it.
Darry rolled his eyes at Two-bit and Dally's behavior, which made the rest of the gang, even Ponyboy, laugh a bit. That made Darry have it a hard time to crack a grin himself, and right after he reminded himself that it was his baby brothers wedding day, his full, rare, handsome smile exploded across his face, and he gave Sodapop a single nod. Soda gave him a single nod back in return and the two older Curtis's stepped back from their youngest brother.
Ponyboy closed his eyes and took in a soft, deep breath to himself and released it, right before he opened his eyes back up and turned around so the gang could see him directly instead of all trying to stare at his reflection in the mirror.
"How do I look?" Ponyboy asked
"…Like Dad was in his wedding photo…" Soda sighed "…ya know, Ponyboy…skipping a grade, getting straight A's throughout your whole life, going off and graduating college, being a famous author, and now getting married to the girl of your dreams…you'd certainly make our old man thrilled…our Mama, too,"
"Pepsi-Cola is right, Pone…our folks would certainly be proud of you," Darry agreed, his tone soft just like Soda's was.
Just listening to his two older brothers short lectures just brought some steaming tears to Ponyboy's eyes. Their words and the sounds of their voices seriously struck him hard in the heart.
"…You guys say that like they're not proud of you two at all…" Pony pointed out
Darry and Soda exchanged their sorrow expressions for a couple of seconds, and then the two of them glanced back at their baby brother. Both of them shrugged their shoulders. Soda glanced down at his black shoes as Darry stuffed his hands into his tuxes pockets and just kept his eyes shut.
"Why would they be proud of us, Pony? You're the star child of the whole family, ya dig? You've seriously done everything that Darry and I didn't. Neither of us went to college…we didn't meet any special girl yet…heck…" Soda shook his head before going on. "We're not even sure we're going to ever get married in the future. We're already adults were our eyes not even sat out on one special lady yet,"
The rest of the gang, even Dally and Two-bit, were shocked and caught off guard to actually hear Sodapop lecture and speak out about himself and Darry like that…and then…Darry actually nodded his head and agreed with him.
"I don't ever want you guys to say such stuff!" Ponyboy ordered, but his voice wasn't loud or demanding one bit towards his older brothers. It was kind and sensitive, just like good 'ol Ponyboy Curtis always it, unless he was up against some Soc that wasn't Cherry Valance or her great friend, Marcia.
Soda and Darry quickly shot their full, undivided attention up to the youngest Curtis, both of them now completely bewildered from being taken off guard that Ponyboy was actually telling them to never think nor say such stuff. The rest of the gang was still remaining in their shocked and startled stages, too.
"Mom and Dad are as proud with you two as they are with me!" Ponyboy exclaimed in order to get the message clear and through his older brothers heads. "I'm not the star Curtis! Heck, I don't use me head half of the time in my entire life, remember?"
The youngest Curtis was just glad that he got small smiles and chuckles out of his two brothers from his joke, even though it was sort of a fact, and Pony was also glad to hear the rest of the fellow Greasers snicker a bit, too, their wide grins back on their faces all over again.
"Soda, it doesn't matter that you dropped out of school, and even though you were only passing two classes, it doesn't matter. You're not dumb one bit. You were very bright and smart back then and you're very bright and smart now. You dropped out of school in order to help the family out, helping with earning money to pay the bills and keep our roof over our heads, and not to mention help me get through rough paths with school and whatnot," Ponyboy lectured to the second oldest Curtis, who's eyes grew watery a bit as his movie-star handsome flashed across his face again. Pony smiled then, too, some tears of happiness coming up in his eyes as well, as he gave Sodapop a loving, brotherly hug for about three seconds, and after they released each other, Ponyboy moved over to Darry, who was standing by Soda's side.
"And, Darry," Ponyboy grinned, which made Darry force a smile to himself already. "You're still Superman, all though and tuff, always there for me, Soda, and the rest of the gang…like how Two-bit always got arrested and you bailed him out…or when Johnny-cake was sick and you took care of him…or when Jazz needed a home and you agreed we could take him in…" Ponyboy took in a deep breath and let it out before going on, his tears of love and happiness growing more and more in his eyes as he spoke. "…But the biggest example of all…after Mom and Dad died…you agreed to not go to college so you could take care of Soda and I, so none of us would be split up and parted in some boys home…you roof houses to keep food on our plates, clothes on our backs, and our roof over our heads, just like Sodapop…dang, Darry…you turned into a father at only the age of twenty…and even though we fought a lot in the past and even though you hit me before…that was the past…and I love you and Sodapop so much,"
"Aw man! The wedding hasn't even started yet and I'm already crying!" Johnny sniffled as he locked his hands over his face and allowed some of his tears to fall. Dallas wrapped one of his arms around the eldest Cade and comforted him as he whimpered and cried over the Curtis's conversation.
Ponyboy, Soda, and Darry all grinned at each others, the three of them now finally allowing their tears to drip out of their eyes, and before anybody could see it coming, the Curtis brothers had their arms locked around each other in one heck of a major bear hug of loving brotherhood.
"I love you, Soda…I love you, Darry," Ponyboy sniffled
"We love you, too, Ponyboy," Soda whimpered, his smile still remaining on his face though, as he stroked Pony's brunette hair, which was now back to its original length and no longer blonde.
"And we always will, so don't let anybody tell you different, ya hear?" Darry asked
"I understand…and don't you two ever think that Mom and Dad aren't proud of you…because I know that they are…and one day, you guys will watch your bride walk down the aisle. Same with the rest of the gang," Ponyboy said
"Thanks for mentioning us, Ponyboy!" Jazz thanked, giving Pony two thumbs up, which made Ponyboy chuckle as he, Soda, and Darry let go of each other from their brotherly bonding hug.
"No problem, guys," Ponyboy assured
"Nevertheless, though," Darry shook his head, his handsome smile still spread across his face. He wiped away all of his happy and loving tears as Soda did the same. Ponyboy did, too. "Today is your wedding day, little brother. Remember to take good care of Kitten and never let her go, little buddy,"
"I won't, Darry. I'll always keep her close and I'll always love her," Ponyboy promised
"Gees…took you all these years since you and Kitty dated when you were both thirteen to realize that you actually love the girl?" Two-bit asked
"Two-bit…" Steve warned
Ponyboy grinned again and rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that even though many years have gone by, the Greasers each all their same old personalities from when they were all just kids and up to their teenage lives, but now they were all in their own adulthoods.
"Hey, you got to admit that it's pretty much the truth. Once again, the saying says, first comes-" Two-bit began chuckling with his words again.
Dally rolled his eyes.
"I will end you if you don't shut yourself up, Matthews!" Dallas threatened as he shook his other hand that was clenched in a tight fist, his other arm still remaining around Johnny to continue comforting him as he cried a little bit still. Hearing Dally's threat was all Two-bit needed to hear before he actually did keep his lips from saying anything else.
The main door that was the entrance to the grooms room then had three soft knocks tap on its wooden surface, right before the doorknob turned around as far as it could go.
The entire gang watched the door as it finally got pulled open, and there stood in the doorway was Buck, Dally's rodeo partner and the Dingo's owner. He was dressed in a tux as well, considering that Kitten wanted him to walk her down the aisle, and his hair was neatly brushed with its usual amount of hair grease applied in as well. A big smile was on his face when his gray-sheets of ice eyes met the groom, a.k.a Ponyboy, who was obviously about to marry Kitten, the girl that Buck technically raised himself ever since he first met her when she was eight.
"You ready, Pony? The whole things going to start in five minutes and you need to get to the front of the lake and under the alter," Buck instructed
Ponyboy nodded his head, feeling his heart rapidly pound harder and harder with every single pump it made in his chest.
"Alright, great. Don't worry, you'll do fine. Just remember to take care of my Kit-Cat and protect her at all times, especially from 'em Socs. Remember that I'm the one who gave you permission to ask for her hand, so remember that you promised me that you'll always love and take care of her and never, ever dream of hurting her, alright?" Buck asked
"I promise that I'll always love and take of her, Buck. I'll never, ever hurt her or abandon her," Ponyboy promised with a single bow of his head added in.
"Okay then, Ponyboy…it's time to head on out. It's show time," Buck announced, and with that, he left the grooms rooms doorway, leaving the door open all the way so he could go check on how the girls were in the brides room.
Ponyboy began feeling extremely hot as he took in and let out another deep, but soft breath, but he smiled the entire time because he couldn't wait to spend the rest of his life with Kitten.
The youngest Curtis received tight hugs from Johnny, Jazz, and even Steve, while Dally did a knuckle-touch with Ponyboy, and Two-bit gave him three friendly smacks on his back. After the gang left the grooms room to go find a row of seats to stay close in during the wedding, Darry and Soda shared one last big brotherly love hug with Ponyboy, and then the three of them headed out to the main part of the garden, closing the grooms rooms door behind them.
Meanwhile in the brides room, Kitten was with Cassidy and Jocelyn, Johnny's younger sisters. Kitty was busy smiling beautifully and goldenly at her reflection, completely enjoying how gorgeous she looked in her wedding dress, but her wedding dress wasn't like any other wedding dress. Yes, it was white, but the skirt part went only down to the bottom of her knees, and the shirt part was separate, showing her bellybutton, stomach, and back. It was completely sparkly and glittery with no sleeves, and the beautiful white high heels Kitten was wearing on her feet, including her crystal necklace and matching earrings certainly brought the beauty out of her twinkling green eyes a whole lot more.
Kitten's ginger hair was tied up in a beautiful, silky, curly bun, where a tiara was being worn on top of her head, along with her vale that went all the way down to the center of her back, a part of it waiting to be placed over her face. She had ruby red lipstick printed on her lips, and her eyes were covered with a gentle amount of powdery white eye-shadow, and black eyeliner and mascara.
Cassidy was dressed in a bright pink, ruffle-designed dress with matching high heels and the diamond necklace that Jazz bought her when they were both twelve being worn around her neck. Her hair was beautifully curled and she only had a light amount of bright pink blush on her cheeks, along with some strawberry lip-gloss decorating her lips.
On the other hand, Jocelyn was dressed in a long, ocean blue dress with no sleeves, but a sweet spring sweater was being worn over her shoulders to keep the old bruises from Mr and Mrs. Cade covered up. Jocelyn's jet-black hair was still remaining with natural bouncy curls, but hers were much tighter together because her hair only went down to her shoulders. She wasn't wearing any kind of make-up though, and on her feet were a pair of lighter blue flats.
"You certainly do look beautiful, Kitty-Cat," Jocelyn said as she helped Cassidy smooth out the wrinkles of the beautiful skirt of Kitten's wedding dress out.
"Yeah, you do," Cassidy agreed
"Thank you, Jocelyn. Thank you, too, Carla," Kitten bowed her head to the two of them as she stepped down from the little brown stool she was standing on that was used for Cassidy and Jocelyn to see her better in her wedding dress as they fixed her up in the beginning.
The two female Cade's backed away from the bride and smiled big, wonderful smiles of their own, as Kitty smiled back at them, looking back and forth from her two friends to her reflection in the mirror.
In Kitten's mind, she was remembering how she was proposed to by Ponyboy. It seemed just like yesterday that she was returning from a business trip from talking to some of her agents in New York about her new book, thinking to herself that she wished that Ponyboy was there with her, considering that they were still dating at the time and not to mention the fact that she was gone for three weeks straight. She was sitting in her row all by herself on the plane…and then the speaker came on, the announcer speaking to all of the passengers that they were going to have a little special announcement for a certain someone…and right after that, Kitten heard Ponyboy's voice over the speaker saying the exact words, "Everyday I love you more and more…and I can't imagine us to just date any longer…I think we've passed our love test for each other years back…your as beautiful as a sunset, and your green eyes are like two four leaf clovers, and let's face it, I'm a lucky guy to have a girl like you in my life. I can't picture my life without you…so, Kitten Elizabeth Andrews…"
Kitten then looked over to her right when she heard footsteps coming down her direction…and when she did, she was completely surprised to see Ponyboy. A big, handsome smile was on his face as he knelt down on one knee and gently opened a velvet box, revealing a diamond ring.
"Kitten Elizabeth Andrews, will you marry me?" Pony asked
Kitten remembered the sweet words of her soon-to-be husband for eternity still as she continued staring at her reflection, smiling even bigger and brighter with a lot more beauty as she then remembered how she cried and cheered through her cries, "Yes! Yes! I will, Ponyboy! Yes!"
After that, Pony slipped the golden, diamond ring onto her finger and the two of them romantically kissed, listening to the other passengers cheer and clap for the two of them. Ponyboy then informed Kitty that he had another surprise for her, which was the two of them being able to sit in first class together.
"I seriously can't believe that I'm actually getting married today. It just seems like yesterday I got engaged to Pony on my plane ride back to Tulsa," Kitten giggled at the thought as she turned her attention from her red painted nails to the golden, diamond ring that was on her finger.
"Time certainly does fly, Kitten," Cassidy shrugged her shoulders. "That's all that we can pretty much state, huh, Joce?"
Jocelyn nodded her head with full agreement, and after that, three soft and gentle knocks were heard at the bride rooms door.
Kitten, Jocelyn, and Cassidy watched the doorknob turn all the way around, and then the door open up, which is when Buck entered the room.
His gray eyes grew big as they met Kitten, who instantly grinned beautifully again as she folded her hands in front of her. She felt good to actually see Buck again after so long. But it sort of felt sad, too, considering that Buck was like her father, technically raising her and always looking out and after her when her real parents wouldn't. Buck was actually going to walk her down the aisle in exactly…no minutes. Right now!
Buck couldn't believe it. That was going to be the day that Kitten changed her name from Kitten Elizabeth Andrews, to Kitten Elizabeth Curtis. She was going to make many promises to Ponyboy under the alter in front of the lake while he assured promises as well. Buck knew that it was officially time to give her away, but he couldn't help himself from thinking with his heart that he was losing his precious baby girl. Just standing in the quiet bride room just staring at her made Buck feel like he was going to break down in tears.
"Buck," Kitten greeted, happily. "It's great to see you again,"
"It's great to see you again, too, Kit-Cat…so, todays the day, huh? I'm giving you away right now?" Buck asked
Kitten took in a slight breath and released it from her mouth, right before she nodded her head at the guy that technically raised her and kept her safe, warm, and loved throughout ever sense they first met.
"Yep, it's time…so, what do you think?" Kitty asked
"…I don't know," Buck shrugged his shoulders.
"Well…it's time to walk me down the aisle, Buck," Kitten informed as she took one last look at her reflection in the mirror. "Does my wedding gown look pretty on me?"
Without any need of any other words to be spoken, Buck started shedding his tears, which instantly caused Kitten to shoot her attention back over to him and quickly wrap her arms around him, while she whispered to him to not cry.
"Buck…I'm sorry, but I'll always love you as the father of my dreams and it's not like I'm leaving the state…I'll still visit the Dingo with the gang and see you a lot…but right now…you got to walk me down the aisle," Kitten said
"…Yeah, I know," Buck sniffled. He had to force himself to hold on easy as he released Kitten from their small hug, right before Cassidy handed over Kitty her roses that was tied together with a golden ribbon, then she left the room with Jocelyn to go find seats to sit in.
Kitten and Buck exchanged one last smile, then Kitten placed the part of her vale that was supposed to be over her face actually over her face, while took a hold of Buck's free hand and gently squeezed it as he gently squeezed back, wiping away his few, wet tears from his face for about five seconds. After that, the two of them headed out of the brides room, closing the door behind them afterwards.
The song "Here Comes the Bride" started playing, and everything rose from their seats, even Kitten's folks, who didn't even recognize their own daughter when she first stepped into view with Buck standing by her side, guiding her down the aisle.
Johnny, Cassidy, Jocelyn, Darry, Soda, Two-bit, Steve, and Dally were sitting in the very first row of chairs, all eight of them widely smiling at how beautiful Kitten looked in her wedding gown as she continued slowly walking down the aisle with Buck guiding her. Kitten was absolutely savoring every second she gently and swiftly walked down the aisle in the green grass and colorful rainbow flowers of the gorgeous meadow with the sunset shining so fabulously.
Cherry, Marcia, and Randy were there at the wedding, too, and even Dally's little sister, Amanda, but people called her Olivia, who was exactly Johnny's age, was there as well, the four of them sitting in the second row behind the Greasers, along with some other Socs that were best friends of Cindy and Kevin.
Ponyboy was there at the end of the aisle, under the beautiful alter that was resting in front of the glittering lake that was shining off the sunsets beautiful reflection. The soft breeze swiftly blew and danced around the air, making the wedding scene even more loving and heart-warming. Ponyboy continued feeling his heart rapidly pound hard in his chest, but he still smiled his handsome, full smile, feeling absolutely grateful that he was actually marrying such a sweet and generous girl.
Soda and Darry just couldn't believe that their baby brother was a groom that day, just like how Buck couldn't believe that the girl that was technically his daughter was a bride.
Buck guided the beautiful Kitten all the way down to the aisle, everyone's smiles and full attention on them as the romantic and pretty song kept playing, and after Kitten reached the end of the aisle with Buck…he handed Ponyboy over the hand of Kitten that he was guiding her down the aisle with, right before he whispered to Kitty that he loved her and always would, then went to take his seat.
The song of "Here Comes the Bride" ended, and everybody took their seats again.
"Ladies, gentlemen, and Dallas Winston," the preacher from Ponyboy, Soda, and Darry's church announced
"Sup, man!" Dally cheered out with a single wave of his hand, and his smirking smile of both deviousness and yet happiness on his face, while he kicked back in the chair that he was sitting in.
"We are gathered here today to celebrate to conjoining lives of Kitten Andrews and Ponyboy Curtis," the preacher went on, as if nobody even heard Dally's greeting. He turned his head with a friendly smile on his face to see Ponyboy. "Now, Ponyboy, do you have your vows ready?"
"Yes," Ponyboy replied
"And don't you, Kitten?" the preacher asked, looking at the bride then.
"Yes, Father," Kitten nodded her head.
"Then it's time for vows to be spoken aloud. Pony, take the piece of Kitten's vale out from in front of her face and take a hold of her hands," the preacher instructed
Ponyboy continued smiling as he gently picked up the piece of Kitten's vale from hanging over her face and placed it back, right before the two of them took a hold of each others hands and gazed straight into the others eyes. Ponyboy's shimmered as Kitty's sparkled, both so gorgeous and sweetly.
"Like my proposal stated, I can't imagine my life without you. You're the golden sun that wakes me up in the morning, the glimmering moon that shines through my window…it seems just like yesterday that we met at the age of thirteen, enjoying each others company 24/7...but now, we get to do that with no breaking apart for the nighttime hours. Without you, my life wouldn't be complete…I can not ever imagine myself without living with such a pretty and sweet lady like yourself, Kitten Elizabeth Andrews…you always make me think with my head for a change, always helping me through the thick and thin when nobody else knows about it, and that's one of the million things I certainly adore about you…you're certainly one in a million, Kitten…and I'll always love you no matter what," Ponyboy lectured, taking time to breathe some breaths every once in awhile for some dramatic effect.
"Awws" filled the meadow as the Greasers began to cry a bit already, even 'ol Dally, which was certainly surprising, and tears of happiness and love started forming in Kitten's eyes. Thank God that she was wearing waterproof makeup.
Kitten took in a deep breath and let it out before she began her vow.
"You're nothing like any of the other guys that I have looked at or talked to in the past…nor are any of them like you in this entire world…you're different, and I absolutely love that. You're certainly golden, just like your personality and even your looks, because I know how you used to wish to look like Paul Newman when we were just teenagers, but you're ten times better than him, Ponyboy Michael Curtis…you were sent straight down from Heaven, and I'm very lucky to actually be held in your arms for the rest of our whole lives…I thank God every night in my prayers for guiding us to each other, starting off as best friends, then leading up to us dating for years, and finally up till this very day…I love you and I always will, no matter what life throws at us…I'm a very lucky girl to know a guy like you, and not to mention how we're getting married right now…I can't wait to have your children and raise them with you…I love you, Ponyboy," Kitten spoke, and just like Pony, she took time for different breaths for dramatic effect.
Once again, more "Awws" echoed through the meadow, while the Greasers, each of them completely satisfied, grinned widely and nodded their heads. Cherry and Marcia was already shedding tears, and Randy was comforting both of them. Johnny was crying a bit, too, but he was still smiling at the same time.
"Ponyboy Curtis, repeat after me," the preacher spoke up, his friendly smile still on his face as he looked back and forth from the loving couple. "I Ponyboy,"
"I Ponyboy," Ponyboy repeated, keeping his shimmering eyes and handsome smile directly on Kitten as he spoke.
"Take thee Kitten in sickness and in health," the preacher went on, his smile growing more and more, brighter and brighter with every word that came out of his mouth.
"Take thee Kitten in sickness and in health,"
"As my wife until death due us part,"
Ponyboy took in and let out a deep, but soft breath, as he continued smiling, then went on with the repeating words, "As my wife until death due us part,"
"Now, Kitten," the preacher said, turning his attention over to the gorgeous bride, his friendly, bright smile still on his face. "I Kitten,"
"I Kitten,"
Just like Ponyboy, Kitten kept her full, undivided attention on her soon-to-be husband.
"Take thee Ponyboy in sickness and in health,"
"Take thee Ponyboy in sickness and in health,"
"As my husband until death due us part,"
"As my husband until death due us part,"
Once again, the preacher looked back over at Ponyboy. The Greasers were starting to cry a lot more, except Two-bit was trying his best to hold his tears back the entire time. You could still tell that he wanted to cry, though.
"Ponyboy, do you take Kitten as your wife with your whole heart until death due you two part?" the preacher asked
"…I do," Ponyboy said finally, feeling a huge, giant weight of nervousness lift off of his chest, and love completely flooded its place.
After hearing those two words come out of the youngest Curtis's mouth, Soda and Darry lost it, crying to death as they tried wiping away all of the tears the best they could, but new ones took their places. Dally's face was now completely bright red with tear streaks going down his cheeks, believe it or not, and his arm was slapped around Johnny's shoulder, holding him close as he cried more and more, faster and faster. Dang, nobody has ever seen Johnny cry that much before in his entire life, not even when he stabbed Bob. The only thing different with Johnny crying then though was because it was out of happiness, just like the rest of the Greasers tears were shed for.
"Kitten, do you take Ponyboy as your husband with your whole heart until death due you two part?" the preacher questioned
"…I do," Kitten answered
"Ponyboy, you may place Kitten's wedding ring back on her finger again, and then, Kitten, you may slide Ponyboy's wedding ring onto his finger," the preacher told the two of them as he handed over the rings.
Ponyboy went first, slipping Kitten's back on her finger as he told her that he loved her, right before she placed his golden ring that was decorated with crosses on his finger, then told him that she loved him, too.
"Ponyboy and Kitten had made their declarations, and it's my pleasure to announce them now as the newly wedded couple of Mr and Mrs. Curtis!" the preacher announced, turning his attention back over to Ponyboy after he announced that to the meadow. "You may kiss the bride, Ponyboy,"
Without any hesitation, Ponyboy and Kitten shared one last pair of their loving, golden smiles, then Pony pulled Kitten up to him, bowing her down in his arms so he could give her that feeling of being swiped off of her feet, and then the two of them made their lips meet.
Everybody shot up from their seats and wildly cheered and clapped their hands together, especially the Greasers.
"Aw man! I promised myself that I wouldn't cry!" Two-bit sniffled, blowing his nose loudly in a tissue.
Dally rolled his eyes as he wiped away the few amount of water from his face, as Johnny and Steve gave each other a high-five, right before Johnny and his sisters locked their arms around each other, while Randy and Marcia kissed each other, Darry and Soda wrapped their arms around each other and patted each others backs. After that, Dally looked at Cherry and thought to himself, "Ah, what the heck," right before he pulled Cherry up to him and kissed her straight on the lips. To Dally's surprise, she actually continued holding herself close to him and making their lips meet for about fifteen seconds straight.
Ponyboy and Kitten were now Mr and Mrs. Curtis, and the two of them slow danced most of the time at their after party at the Dingo, while Soda slow danced with this girl named Clover, Dally did the same with Cherry, and Marcia got together with Randy during the dances, and Jazz even did with Cassidy while Steve and Evie slow danced, too.
Two-bit and Darry just watched it all happen with Jocelyn as well, listening to all kinds of slow songs like "Don't Take the Girl", "Butterfly Kisses", "She's Everything", "A Song For My Daughter", "Mary's Song", "My Little Girl", and many more play, along with some other songs like "There Goes My Life", "Stealing Cinderella", "Can't Touch This", "Cowgirls Don't Cry", "Party Rock Anthem,", "Remember When", etc.
The wedding was absolutely amazing…and the after party was so much fun with so many great tunes, awesome dances, and amazing food. It was totally a fact that none of the Greasers would forget Kitten's and Ponyboy's wedding day…and Ponyboy and Kitten were sure going to remember it all, too…but the main question now is…who's going to get married next?
