Chapter Two – Then Comes Marriage

"Don't worry, man, it's only for life!" Duncan slaps Geoff on the back.

"I'm not worried. Not about that anyway, I've wanted to marry Bridgette since I first met her. I'm just afraid of forgetting my vows or something screwing up the wedding or looking like an idiot." Geoff says.

"You'll be fine!" says Duncan. "I've got to go inside now. Good luck!" Duncan leaves Geoff standing with the celebrant on the deck under the decorated arch. The guests start to sit down in the seats around the deck and Duncan walks inside, followed by Tristan and Xavier, Geoff's friends and other groomsmen. They wait just inside the door for the girls to come down. Leshawna and Gwen are first down and they take their places with Tristan and Xavier.

"You girls look great!" says Tristan, taking Leshawna's arm.

"Thanks," says Gwen, Leshawna does her best to smile despite her nasty break up only the night before.

"Where's Courtney?" Duncan asks.

"I'm here!" she calls from the top of the stairs. Duncan's breath catches in his throat as he sees her standing there. Courtney smirks at the awestruck look on Duncan's face as she descends the stairs.

"Like what you see?" she winks, giving him a kiss.

"You have got great legs. What are you doing later?" Duncan says, trying to sound cool.

"Ugh, you're so vile!" she says, giving him a light smack on the arm.

"Well, you asked, sugar!" he says, grabbing her around the waist and pulling her to him, sticking his tongue down her throat.

"You two disgust me! There are children present!" Leshawna scolds, indicating Willow who has just come down the stairs with her brother Liam. Duncan and Courtney pull away from each other sheepishly and Courtney giggles as she wipes the lipstick from his face. Leshawna and Gwen look at each other in disgust.

"Is Bridgette ready yet?" Gwen asks.

"She should be down soon," Courtney replies. Sure enough Lorraine soon leads Bridgette down the stairs. The three guys stare at her with their mouths open, until Leshawna shuts them up.

"What's the matter with you three? She's a person, not a zoo exhibit! Now close up those mouths before I close them for you!" she demands. The boys close their mouths.

"You look beautiful, Bridgette," says Xavier.

"Geoff is going to die," Duncan agrees.

"That's what I said!" Gwen says. Courtney shoots her a dirty look. Although she has forgiven both Duncan and Gwen for the events that happened during and after World Tour, she still gets annoyed if Duncan and Gwen ever happen to agree with each other. She picks up three white tiger lilies from where they are resting on a table by the door and shoves one forcefully at Gwen and hands Leshawna the other one, keeping the last one for herself. She then hands Bridgette a blue tiger lily with a smile.

"Okay, start the music," Courtney commands. Tristan hits play on the iPod that has been connected to the speakers outside and "Lucky" by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat starts playing. Outside, Geoff's heart tightens, knowing he's about to see his bride.

Lorraine tells Willow and Liam to hold hands and gestures for them to walk outside. The children do as they are bid and Duncan takes Courtney's arm and leads her through the doors of the beach house. The guests turn to look at them as they walk down the make-shift aisle towards the deck. Geoff smiles nervously at Duncan who grins back. Duncan glances at Courtney and who is clutching his arm with one hand and holding the tiger lily to her chest with the other. She also has an enormous smile on her face as she looks around the guests. She looks so happy you'd think it was her own wedding. Gwen and Xavier are right behind them, followed by Leshawna and Tristan. The photographer snaps pictures of all the couples as the walk down the aisle. As the bridesmaids and groomsmen reach the arch, the boys stand beside Geoff and the girls stand opposite him, to await Bridgette. She looks nervous but she's smiling as Lorraine leads her from the house. Everyone's gaze is focussed on the beautiful bride but Duncan glances at Geoff to see his reaction and it does indeed look like he's going to die.

"Oh my god, do I actually get to marry her?" he whispers hoarsely to Duncan. Duncan just laughs. Bridgette reaches the arch and Lorraine goes to sit down.

"Welcome everyone!" the celebrant begins. Geoff manages to drag his eyes from Bridgette and face the celebrant. "On behalf of Geoff and Bridgette, I would like to thank you all for coming today to witness their marriage. It is a rare thing to find someone you love so completely, and I can tell just by looking at these two that they will have a long and happy life together." Bridgette drops one of her hands from her lily and entwines her fingers with Geoff. The celebrant laughs. "You aren't really meant to hold hands yet, but I suppose I can let this one slide!" the guests all titter and the celebrant continues. "Somebody once told me, chance is like lightning and love is like thunder, so make sure you two hold onto each other. Can I have the rings please?" Duncan steps forward and hands the rings to the celebrant. The celebrant hands one to Geoff and one to Bridgette. Bridgette hands her lily to Courtney and she and Geoff turn to face each other. "Geoff, it's time to say your vows."

Geoff grabs Bridgette's hands and holds the ring up to her left hand. He looks into her eyes and prays that he will actually be able to speak.

"Bridgette," he starts, relieved something has come out of his mouth. "I have loved you since the first moment I met you on TotalDramaIsland. We've been through so much together and I know you're the babe for me. I promise I will always be true to you, I will always put you first and I will never stop checking you out when you wear a bikini." Geoff grins and slips the ring onto her finger. The guests all laugh again and the celebrant gestures for Bridgette to say her vows.

"Geoff, you are my best friend and I love you so much. I promise to love you through all our ups and downs, to never forget that we were made for each other and to forgive you when you're being a complete idiot." Bridgette vows and puts Geoff's wedding ring on his finger.

"Geoff, do you take Bridgette Olsen to be your lawfully wedded wife?" the celebrant asks.

"I do," says Geoff.

"And Bridgette, do you take Geoff Kennard to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do!"

"Then I now declare you husband and wife, you may now kiss!" the celebrant announces. Geoff grabs Bridgette and pulls her in for a kiss, not holding back in the slightest.

"Ugh! I told them to keep it short and sweet for this part!" Courtney whispers to Gwen.

"This is Geoff and Bridgette we're talking about," Gwen points out.

"I suppose you're right," Courtney grins, "the celebrant looks a little uncomfortable though…" she and Gwen giggle. The celebrant coughs awkwardly and Geoff and Bridgette finally break apart.

"If you'll follow me, we can go and sign the marriage certificate now," the celebrant leads them back into the house to sign the certificate. The photographer and a couple of others who want to take pictures follow but most people just stay outside.

After the certificate has been signed the guests congratulate the bride and groom and the bridal party, Geoff's family and Bridgette's mother go off along the beach with the photographer to get photos taken. After posing till they're sore the photographer gets the Geoff, Bridgette and their bridal party in the ocean to get some photos. They all take off their shoes and the guys rid their jackets and ties and roll up their pants.

"Do we have to do this?" Courtney complains. "We still have the reception to get through, I don't want to be all sandy."

"Courtney, we're on a beach." Gwen rolls her eyes.

"Fine! But don't get my dress wet, okay?" she warns, specifically looking at Duncan.

"Course princess, would I do that to you?" he winks. She gives him a shove with her shoulder as she walks past him and wades into the water till it's halfway up her calves. The others follow her and the photographer gets a few shots.

"Okay, I think we're done here!" the photographer smiles.

"Finally, I've been waiting to do this!" Duncan says, bringing his arm back and into the water, showering Courtney with sea water.

"Duncan!" Courtney yells. "You promised!" she shoves him with all her might and, caught off guard, Duncan falls back into the shallows. Courtney smirks and puts her hands on her hips as the others laugh at Duncan's misfortune. She turns to walk out of the water but Duncan grabs her arm.

"Oh no, don't think you're getting off that easily, darling!" he says, pulling her into the ocean with him. She shrieks as she hits the water. The others laugh hysterically at Courtney and Duncan sitting there soaking wet.

"Oh you think that's funny do you?" Courtney glares. She stands up and the others look at each other nervously, wondering if they are about to get a verbal beat down. Instead, however, Courtney pushes Leshawna and Gwen into the water, splashing Tristan and Xavier in the process.

"Don't get Bridgette's hair!" Leshawna yells as Geoff joins in the water fight. "Bridgette, if you get in this water I swear I'll never speak to you again!" Bridgette obliges but makes sure the photographer gets some shots of her friends acting like idiots.

"Speaking of hair, look what you did to mine!" Courtney frowns down at Duncan who is still just sitting in the shallows.

"Oh shut up, you're such a princess!" he grins and pulls her back into the water so he can kiss her.

"Do those two ever do anything else?" Leshawna says, pointing a thumb at the couple making out in the water.

"Sometimes they fight…" Gwen shrugs.

"Guys, we better go back to the house, the reception should be starting soon and we all have to be introduced properly," Bridgette says.

"Can we really go looking like this?" Tristan asks.

"Sure, dude!" says Geoff, "It's a beach, half the guests are probably in their swimsuits and in the ocean right now!"

The group pick up their belongings from the beach, heads back to the house and enters through the side door. The guests by now are sitting at the round tables that Courtney and Gwen set up earlier. The bridal party stand behind the door that leads to the beach and await their introduction.

"Who did you guys end up getting to MC?" Leshawna asks. Bridgette and Geoff look at each other nervously. At that moment a head pops in the door.

"Are you guys ready?" Chris McLean says. They all nod and Chris goes back outside.

"Seriously?" Leshawna states. "You got Chris to MC? What is wrong with you guys?"

"Now, introducing our bridesmaids and groomsmen, Gwen, Xavier, Leshawna and Tristan!" Chris announces and the four that have been called head out to the beach. "The maid of honour, Courtney and the best man, Duncan." Courtney and Duncan walk outside and head towards the bridal table. "I don't know if you guys saw the last season of Total Drama, but it was dramatic! You should have seen these two…" Chris says into the microphone. Courtney shoves him as she walks past and he shuts up. "And now for our lovely guests of honour, the bride and groom, Bridgette and Geoff!" Bridgette and Geoff come out of the house and the guests all cheer.

Once they're all seated, the entrée is brought out of the beach house kitchen by some waiters.

"See, I told you the guests would be getting in the water too!" Geoff says to Tristan, pointing out Izzy and her boyfriend Don, whose clothes are also soaking wet. It's obvious most of the children have been swimming too, and Lindsay and Tyler are both in their swimsuits along with a few of the other guests. The air is warm anyway, and their clothes and hair are already starting to dry.

After the entrée and main meal have been devoured, Chris announces that it is time for the speeches. The waiters make sure everyone has champagne and Bridgette's mother, Lorraine, takes the microphone from Chris and reads from a piece of paper.

"Good evening everyone. Thank you so much for coming to Bridgette and Geoff's wedding, it means a lot to them and to me. For so long it has been just Bridgette and I in our little family, and as much as I loved her with all my heart and loved spending time with her, I always worried that she wasn't getting all the love she deserved. When she told me she was auditioning for TotalDramaIsland I was happy that she'd get the chance to meet some new people, but I never dreamed she'd meet someone as lovely and perfect for her as Geoff here. Geoff and his family have been so welcoming to Bridgette and to me, and I can't thank you enough for treating Bridgette like one of your family. Geoff and Bridgette you are such a beautiful couple and Geoff, I know you will take excellent care of my daughter. I love you both," Lorraine smiles. Geoff grins and gives Bridgette a small kiss as the guests clap. Chris takes the microphone from Lorraine and calls Duncan up.

"Geoff and Bridgette…" Duncan starts. "I was there when Geoff and Bridgette first met. Geoff acted like a total idiot trying to get Bridgette to like him, and his attempts usually failed. Despite Bridgette thinking Geoff was an imbecile, he stayed loyal to her and refused to vote her off against my advice, and eventually won her over. For some reason Bridgette has stayed with him despite all the things he's done wrong, like becoming a total diva when he was hosting the Total Drama Action Aftermath, among other things, and not to mention the time he accidentally married Blaineley in Vegas, but found out later he was never really married to her. Geoff, you really are a special kind of stupid." Duncan chuckles.

"That was your fault man!" Geoff yells. Duncan shrugs.

"It all worked out in the end though because we stand here today to celebrate this great man's hard work, as he is now married to the girl of his dreams. Congratulations man," Duncan raises his glass and everyone else follows. "To Geoff and Bridgette!" Duncan sits down and Chris takes the microphone again.

"Now it's time for Geoff and Bridgette's first dance. Trent come up here," Chris motions to Trent to join him and Geoff and Bridgette walk over to the deck where they were married. The arch has been removed so there is room to dance. Trent plugs his guitar into an amp and Chris sets the microphone up on a stand in front of him.

"This is a song I wrote specifically for Geoff and Bridgette for this moment," Trent says into the microphone and begins to play.

"It all started one Summer, when I was sixteen. I was just a kid, didn't know what love means. But somehow when I looked up and saw you, something inside of me just knew…" Trent sings a soft ballad and Geoff and Bridgette slow dance with the guests looking on. "Love is the ocean on a stormy day, beautiful and terrifying, it sweeps you away. Love is a handmade gift from the heart, it's fragile and sometimes can be smashed apart. But it doesn't matter what you think it is, 'cause I know, I know love is this," Trent sings. There is a short guitar solo where Chris announces that other couples can join the bride and groom if they so wish. Duncan grabs Courtney's hand and leads her to the dance floor. Xavier goes to his boyfriend Gordon and they join the others. Tristan holds his hand out to Gwen, since Trent is indisposed. Leshawna sighs as she watches Tyler and Lindsay, Izzy and Don and even Noah and Owen get up to dance.

"Everybody's got somebody but me," she says to herself sadly, downing her fourth glass of champagne and pouring another.

"Love is like being pelted with hail, it hurts and it seems like you're gonna fail. Love is like being sprayed by a skunk, sometimes it stinks and you wish you were drunk." Trent continues his song. Leshawna looks around to see if anyone else isn't dancing and notices Harold sitting by himself so she finishes her glass of champagne, pours herself another one and goes to join him.

"Hey sugar! Where's your girlfriend? Lisa, right?"

"Oh, she couldn't make it. She's competing tomorrow and wanted a good night's rest," Harold says.

"Competing in what exactly?" Leshawna asks.

"Gymnastics. She's a gymnast." Harold tells her.

"So she's probably tiny with a flat butt!" Leshawna laughs.

"Yeah, she's pretty different from you, but I love her," Harold says.

"Hmph." Leshawna huffs and drinks her own champagne and Harold's.

"I've got some exciting news… Lisa didn't want me to tell anyone but I'm really excited and I know I can trust you… she's pregnant!" Harold bursts out. Leshawna spits out the champagne she'd been about to swallow.

"Pregnant?" she blurts, shocked. "Oh, that's great, honey!" she quickly recovers.

"Yeah, it's awesome." Harold smiles.

"If she's pregnant, should she really be doing gymnastics?" Leshawna wonders.

"She's only 3 weeks pregnant. Heather was competing in Total Drama at 2 months so I think it's fine," Harold assures. "But just keep this between us, okay? I don't want Duncan to find out, gosh!" Leshawna nods.

"You wanna dance, baby?" she asks.

"Alright, I can show you my awesome moves!" Harold says enthusiastically as they get up and head to where the others are dancing.

"Love is like being in an electric chair, sometimes it's like being mauled by a bear. Love isn't easy, it drives you insane, it can leave you standing in the pouring rain. But I know it's worth it, because I have you and I know that love can be amazing too. It doesn't matter what they say about love, I know I love you and that's enough," Trent finishes his song and Chris returns the music to the iPod they were playing.

"I wanted them to get a band, but they thought it was too much effort." Courtney says to Duncan as they walk back to their table.

"I doubt they would have wanted to play in the sand anyway," Duncan says.

"They could have played on the deck!" Courtney huffs.

"I'll tell you what else was too much effort, these table decorations. They're completely pointless!" Duncan gestures to a centrepiece that consists of white tiger lilies and blue forget-me-nots.

"Duncan, I made those!" Courtney says.

"Well, they're stupid." Duncan tells her.

"Not as stupid as you!" Courtney retorts.

"Oh nice comeback, princess, what are you five years old?" Duncan rolls his eyes.

"Maybe my IQ has been lowered by spending too much time with you!" Courtney snaps and storms off. Duncan sighs and follows her.


"This wedding is lovely and all, but at my wedding, the bridesmaids wore pink, and they stood out so much more." Lindsay tells Justin, Heather and Alejandro.

"I know, Lindsay, I was wearing one." Heather rolls her eyes.

"Right, but like, don't you think my wedding was so much more classy? This is nice but where's all the shiny ball gowns and pretty lights? This feels more like just a beach party!" Lindsay complains. Heather groans and leaves the table, pulling Alejandro with her.

"I hear what you're saying, and I totally agree. This wedding is definitely not focussed enough on me." Justin nods. "I mean, I've known these people for ten years and I don't even get a mention? I guess that's what you get for being too good looking, people think that you'll steal their thunder. Which I would, of course." Justin shakes his head. Lindsay glances at Tyler, confused, as Justin seems to have entirely missed the point of what she's saying. Tyler shrugs.

"Want to go swimming?" he suggests. Lindsay nods and they leave Justin.


Courtney is steadfastly ignoring Duncan and instead is listening to Sierra tell her and Geoff all about her new baby who she's very upset to leave with her mother.

"He's only six months old so Codykins convinced me to leave him with my mom. I brought Vera though, isn't she sweet?" Sierra points to her table where Cody sits with Vera on his lap, talking to one of Geoff's brothers.

"Yeah, she's gorgeous dude," Geoff grins. Courtney also looks over and sees Bridgette talking to Alejandro and Heather behind them.

"Geoff," she nudges him and points her head in their direction. Geoff sees who she's indicating and turns back to Sierra.

"I haven't said hello to Heather and Alejandro yet, I better go do that," he excuses himself and heads over to Bridgette.

"What was that about?" Duncan asks Courtney as he watches Geoff approach Bridgette and put his arm around her possessively.

"So, Sierra, how old is Vera now?" Courtney ignores Duncan and continues talking to Sierra. Duncan rolls his eyes and decides to leave Courtney alone for a while. He notices Leshawna laughing with Izzy, Eva, Noah and Owen so he goes to join them.

"What's up guys, having a good time? Good to see you laughing Leshawna," Duncan says.

"Weddings are dumb! This whole thing is dumb, and I hate Bridgette!" Eva snarls.

"Then why are you even here?" Duncan asks.

"Katie made me come, she wanted to spy on Sadie." Eva spits.

"I… have had a lot of alcohol!" Leshawna laughs.

"Me too!" agrees Izzy.

"Leshawna was just telling us how she's going to open up her own 'alcohol making shop'," Noah rolls his eyes.

"Duncan! I have a feeling I was meant to tell you something!" Leshawna thinks for a moment. "Oh yeah! Harold said to tell you, his girlfriend is pregnant!" she laughs. "Or was it that I wasn't meant to tell you?"

"Seriously? I didn't think that skinny idiot had it in him!" Duncan snickers. "Where is he, I better go and congratulate him," Duncan looks around, sees Harold and goes to say who knows what, but it probably isn't congratulations.

"Aw, I wish I was pregnant!" Izzy says. "I don't want kids though, no way!"

"I wish I was pregnant too!" Owen agrees. "I do want kids though…" he says glancing at Noah.

"You can't get pregnant, you're a guy!" Noah tells him.

"You want kids too though, right?" Owen asks. Noah shrugs.

"Maybe," he says. Their conversation is interrupted by Harold storming over.

"Aw come on Dorkahontas! I was only kidding!" Duncan calls after him.

"Leshawna! You said you wouldn't tell anyone!" Harold says angrily.

"Aw, I'm sorry baby! I got mixed up… let me give you a kiss of apologizingness!" she slurs, puckering her lips up.

"No, Leshawna, I don't want to kiss you! Gosh!" Harold storms away towards the beach house. Leshawna gets up to follow him but immediately trips over her chair.

"Oh my god, are you okay?" Izzy asks. Leshawna groans but doesn't say anything.

"We should probably take her inside…" Noah says. Owen grabs Leshawna's arms and Eva grabs her legs and they carry her inside.

"Alright everybody, it's time to cut the cake!" Chris announces. The cake is brought out and Geoff and Bridgette cut it together with the photographer taking snaps of them.


At about 11pm Geoff and Bridgette say their goodbyes and head to the airport to catch their plane to Australia for their honeymoon. After they're gone most others leave too until it's just the bridal party left. Gwen and Trent sit cuddled up inside on the couch with Leshawna who is feeling sorry for herself. Gordon and Xavier have already gone to bed. Tristan walks in from outside.

"Do not go out there, Courtney and Duncan are going at each other and it isn't pretty…" Tristan warns.

"And by going at each other you mean…" Trent prompts.

"They're fighting," Tristan says, plopping down on the couch beside Leshawna. "Is she okay?" he asks.

"She will be," Gwen assures him. Courtney storms into the house, slamming the door behind her. "Is everything alright?" Gwen asks her.

"No! Duncan is being a total asshole, as usual!" Courtney complains.

"What did he do this time?" Trent asks.

"He told me that my centrepieces were stupid, then he had the nerve to tell me that I look tired!" Courtney rages.

"Wow, that is… horrible…" Trent glances at Gwen with a smirk, thinking how ridiculous Courtney is being.

"Now that you mention it, you do look kind of tired…" Gwen says.

"Ugh, maybe that's because I hardly slept last night!"

"Would someone shut that rich girl up, Leshawna's head is pounding," Leshawna groans.

"Because you were worried about the wedding?" Trent asks, ignoring Leshawna.

"Something like that," she snaps. Duncan walks in and Courtney gives a cry of frustration and storms upstairs.

"Hey Duncan, want to watch a movie or something?" Gwen asks.

"Nah, I've got to get to her while she's still yelling or else she'll just ignore me for the rest of the night," Duncan grins and follows Courtney upstairs.

"Maybe we should just go to bed," Trent suggests.

"What about Leshawna?" Gwen says.

"I'll look after her, you two can go to bed," Tristan says. Gwen and Trent smile at him gratefully and go to the bedroom they'll be sleeping in. They pass Courtney and Duncan's room which is right next to theirs and hear something crash against the wall.

"At least it hit the wall and not Duncan's head…" Trent says as they enter their room.


"You insensitive jerk! Do you ever think about anyone but yourself?" Courtney screams.

"Do you ever shut up?" Duncan yells back.

"Do you ever think before you speak?"

"I don't need to, I never get the chance to because you're always talking!" Duncan retorts.

"Fine, do you have something to say?" Courtney shouts.

"Yeah, I hate that dress and you should take it off!" Duncan yells.

"Fine!" Courtney throws her dress to the ground and stands there in her underwear.

"Well, what next?" she snaps.

"Come here." Duncan commands. Courtney walks over to him and he grabs her roughly and starts kissing her. She throws her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist and kisses him back as he walks over to the bed.

"I'm sorry I said your centrepieces were stupid," he whispers as he puts her down on the bed.

"I'm sorry I overreacted," Courtney replies as Duncan quickly removes his shirt and resumes kissing her.


"They're silent… do you think they killed each other?" Trent asks Gwen. His question is answered when they hear Courtney's moans coming through the wall. "Clearly not!" he laughs.

"Oh my god!" Gwen laughs along with him.

"Well… this is awkward." Trent says as Courtney's moans get louder.

"Oh shut up Courtney, he's not that good!" Gwen rolls her eyes. "I cannot sleep with that going on!"

"Well maybe we could…" Trent raises his eyebrows suggestively.

"Ew no! Not while they're doing it!" Gwen hits him with a pillow.

"We could go for a dip in the ocean?" Trent suggests instead.

"Alright, let's go!" Gwen kisses him and runs out the door leaving him to follow her.
