Six months had passed but to Mordecai and Rigby, it was forever. To those two, this day couldn't have come soon enough. The park was alive with activity and everything gleamed in the summer sun. The park entrance is adorned with flowers and other bright bobs. There's an archway set facing the front of the house and between that sat rows of chairs to seat family and visitors to witness this event.
Benson was rounding the park frantically. It was a half hour until show time and Mordecai was M.I.A. After 10 minutes of looking, Benson found the blue jay walking in his direction. "Mordecai! Shouldn't you be over at the house? The ceremony is going to begin soon."
"Hey Benson. Yeah I was heading back now. I just had to go for a quick walk."
"Don't tell me you're getting cold feet."
"What? No way dude. It's just.. I can't believe it. It's finally happening. I just wanted to calm my nerves a bit so I don't screw anything up."
Benson walked over to Mordecai and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry Mordecai, I don't think anything can go wrong today."
A warm smile dawned the avian's beak. He walked back to the house with Benson. Standing at the altar Mordecai noticed his family was absent. His head lowered slightly with a feeling of sadness starting to build. His family didn't take the the news very well. They didn't really agree with Mordecai's lifestyle.
"Hey, Mordecai."
Skips shuffled his way to the upset blue jay's side.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing. It just sucks that my family couldn't show up for this."
"I see. Look, I know it must hurt that your family didn't want to come see this. But you have us here to celebrate. You also have Rigby."
A smile once again worked its way onto the blue jay's face.
"Yeah, you're right Skips. Thanks."
"No problem, and congrats again."
"Thanks."
Everything was settled quickly but time ticked by at a crawl. But finally the time came for everything to commence. Everyone became quiet as the front door to the house opened. Rigby stood in the frame. A glow surrounded him and as he walked his way down the stairs it seemed to grow brighter. Mordecai's smile grew with each step Rigby took toward him. Rigby's parents looked back and watched their son. His mother smiled and his father gave him a thumbs up. Rigby's parents were more accepting of the whole thing and fully supported the couple.
The raccoon reached his position next to Mordecai. He looked up at his avian lover with wide and teary eyes. The little coon was overcome with emotion. Mordecai held composure but was nearly spilling over with his own emotions. The minister spoke and went through the usual. Everything was going smoothly. "Is there anyone here who objects to this union?"
The crowd sat in silence waiting for the ceremony to continue.
"I object!"
A gasp erupted in unison from the crowd. Mordecai and Rigby looked out over the gathering trying to see who it was who could have objected. "Oh my, Doug is that you?!" Pops finally broke the silence pointing over to the side of the stairs to the house. Rigby froze, he looked over and saw the last person he would ever hope to see. The same brown otter that caused his life a ton of trouble. "What are you doing here?" Mordecai questioned with an aggressive tone.
"Well, I had just gotten out of prison and decided to walk by the park for old times sake. Then I noticed that there was a sign for a wedding. Imagine my surprise to see that the two to be wed were you guys; Mordecai and Rigby."
Benson, Skips, Pops, Muscleman and High Fives formed a line in front of Mordecai and Rigby. Muscleman stepped forward and let out a threat with his typical rough voice.
"You need to leave and never come back bro."
"Oh don't worry. I don't plan to stick around for the ceremony."
Mordecai pushes past the line of friends standing in the couples defense.
"Then why are you even here? Didn't you cause you enough trouble before?"
"I just thought I would at least warn you."
"Warn us about what?"
"Oh nothing. I'll be on my way now. By the way, congratulations."
Doug walked down the aisle and past the platform that Mordecai, Rigby were standing on and out of sight. Benson, Skips, Pops, Muscleman and High Fives all sat back down in their seats as the minister finished.
"You may now kiss your spouse."
Mordecai and Rigby exchange a quick but no less passionate kiss and the crowd cheers. After the ceremony everyone gathers in the house for the reception. There is karaoke in the living room which has been cleared out. In the Kitchen was food and drink. All over the house were decorations and a banner hung in the archway to the kitchen that read 'Congratulations Mordecai and Rigby'.
Before the party started everyone was poured a drink and Pops gave a toast.
"I'd like to give a toast to my good friends Mordecai and Rigby. I may be old and not quite understand this whole thing, but the love I see in you two is strong. Good show!"
Everyone drank and went on to have fun celebrating and being amongst each other. However Rigby was deeply troubled. He never expected to see Doug again and never wanted to. He couldn't stop thinking about how alone he felt thinking he was losing Mordecai to some imposter. Mordecai walked up to Rigby who sat on the stairs. Rigby had his snout buried in his arms so he didn't notice his spouse walking up to him.
"Hey are you alright?"
"Huh?! Oh.. Y-yeah. I'm fine."
"I know you're lying."
Mordecai sat next to his sad lover and placed a tender wing round him.
"It's just... I keep remembering how much it sucked thinking that Doug was taking you from me before. Now I'm afraid he'll try again."
"Do you also remember that I could immediately tell you two apart? I'm in love with you and I could never mistake anyone for you."
Rigby lost control and bawled into Mordecai's chest feathers. Mordecai held the teary coon tightly and placed a quick peck on his head. Rigby loved how Mordecai always knew what to say to reassure him. Mordecai picked Rigby up and started upstairs.
"H-hey! What are you doing?"
"Shush babe before someone notices. We just got married so now we have to consummate the wedding."
Rigby blushed a deep red that engulfed his muzzle. Mordecai entered their room and shut the door locking it behind them and laid Rigby down on the bed. Even though the newly weds have made love quite a bit he could never get over his shy personality and how Mordecai always made him feel lighter than air. Mordecai leaned over the coon's small frame and kissed him deep and passionately. Rigby squirmed slightly before latching onto his lover. Mordecai pulled his beak back and looked into Rigby's brown eyes. He gently caressed the coon's cheek and smiled warmly.
"I could never touch someone the way I touch you."
Once again the blue jay's words struck just right and made Rigby tear up. Mordecai Laid into his lover and kissed him again not letting up this time. Their bodies held together tightly as they displayed their love for one another in intimacy.
