A week later, it's time for the Lance-Snart wedding that everyone from Team Arrow to Team Flash has been talking about.
Oliver was kind enough to get the Star City Museum for the venue as a wedding gift, though he did caution Leonard that nothing in the building was available for a wedding favor.
In the room set up for the Bride, Sara is sitting patiently as Laurel does her make up. Behind Laurel, Dinah is crying softly.
"Look at my girls!" she sighs. "You're both so beautiful. And my baby is getting married!"
Laurel rolls her eyes at Sara. "This will be all day, you know," she whispers.
"I heard that!" their mother teases.
"It's fine," Sara tells them. "It's not like I ever expected a wedding day, especially a beautiful one like this! It was just never on my radar."
"Well, you deserve it," Laurel says, passing the brush over Sara's cheeks one last time. "You've had quite a life… and death… and resurrection… so a beautiful wedding is a must."
"Now there's a sentence most brides never hear," Sara laughs.
Laurel laughs as well. "All right, let's get you into the dress."
Lisa and Laurel help Sara into her gown and Lisa places the crown of flowers on her head. "Oh my God, Sara. Lenny isn't going to know what to do. You look beautiful!"
Sara sighs. She really was going to make Leonard's jaw fall.
In the Groom's room, things are much more tense.
"We'd look more wedding-like if we had tuxes on," Ray complains.
"And whose wedding is this?" Leonard growls.
"I understand that. But Sara has this beautiful gown and the girls are in lovely dresses and what do we look like? Hobos."
"I don't know what kind of hobos you've seen, Haircut, but they don't look like this," Mick grumbles.
Leonard is quiet, thinking on what Ray said. Sara would look beautiful (she always did), and they were in a pretty fancy place (even if he didn't think it suited them), and today would be the only time they would be doing this (if he had anything to say about it). Hmmm…
"Well, it's a bit late anyway, ain't it?" Mick continues. "Wedding's in less than an hour."
"Ah, but there's where you're wrong, my good man," Ray replies with a flourish of his hands and rushes to the corner of the room. "I just happen to have had tuxes fitted for us, just in case."
"Boss, I don't have to wear that, do I?" Mick whines.
"I don't know, Mick. Raymond has a point with the whole fancy-shmancy thing. Perhaps we should match the ladies."
"Really?!" Mick and Ray ask at the same time.
"Yes, really. If Sara is going to be the beauty I imagine her to be, maybe I should look the part too."
"Dammit, Haircut," Mick sighs.
Leonard looks at the tuxes. "Raymond, I have to admit, for once, you did something right."
"Thanks?" Ray replies.
"Don't get used to it."
Ray nods his head in reluctant acceptance and happily takes his tux from the hanger. "Come on, boys! Let's do this!"
Leonard merely shakes his head as he begins to change, hoping Sara would like his surprise.
Quentin knocks on the door to get Sara.
"Are you ready, baby girl?"
"All set!"
Lisa, Laurel, and Dinah hug Sara and go off to take their places.
"You sure about this, Sara?" Quentin asks as they walk towards the ceremony.
"Daddy!"
"I know, I know. A father has to make sure!"
"Yes, I've never been so sure about anything in my life."
"Then that's all I want to hear."
Before she knows it, they're at the door. Dinah has been seated, Lisa and Ray are on their way, Laurel and Mick are waiting to go. Laurel turns and winks at her sister.
"Love you," she mouths.
Sara can only nod from the emotions welling up.
And then it's time.
As they're walking towards the front, Sara can't help but notice that Leonard has changed his suit. And damn, did he look handsome in that tuxedo!
And the look he's giving her says that he's definitely captivated by her as well.
When they've reached the bridal party, Quentin kisses Sara's cheek.
"I love you, Sara. So much."
"I love you, too, Daddy. Thank you."
Quentin shakes Leonard's hand and joins Dinah in the front row.
As Leonard and Sara walk to Martin, he whispers, "You look amazing."
"Yeah, you too. Something you want to tell me?"
"Later. I think we're a little busy right now."
Martin clears his throat and Leonard and Sara snap to attention.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Sara Lance and Leonard Snart. I've known these two for a few years now and I honestly cannot think of a pair who have gone through as much as these two have to get to their happy ending. But, proving that love endures all, Sara and Leonard have made it. And now, as they have written their own vows, I shall ask Sara to go first."
Sara takes a deep breath, mentally steadying herself to lay all her feelings out for her friends and family to hear.
"Leonard, I have literally been through hell in my life. And I don't know what I've done to deserve a love like yours, but I'm so grateful for it anyway. You've turned my life upside down and made it right in so many ways. You make me fly. You've become my confidante, my partner in crime, my best friend and I don't ever want to know life without you again. I promise to always be there for you and to always love you."
Martin coughs to hide the stutter of emotion in his voice. "Um, Leonard?"
"How am I supposed to follow that?" Leonard jokes. "Well, Sara, my past isn't a good one, but you chose to ignore that. You saw me for what I could be and not who I was. I don't think I'll ever be able to thank you enough for that. You've thawed every frozen part of me and turned my entire life around. You're the only one I want to spend every day and every night with and I promise that for better or worse, it's forever."
Martin steps forward again. "Yes, well, I believe we need the rings."
Mick and Laurel each hand over the rings they are holding.
"Leonard, do you take Sara to be your lawfully wedded wife? And do you promise to continue caring for her?"
Leonard smiles, an actual smile beyond his usual smirk. "I do." And he slips the ring onto her finger.
"And Sara, do you take Leonard to be your lawfully wedded husband? And do you promise to continue caring for him?"
"Yeah, I really do." A tear falls as she manages to put the ring on him. He tenderly wipes it away with a single finger from his other hand.
"Splendid! Now, by the powers vested in me, I know pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride, Mr. Snart."
"Gladly!" he says as he dips Sara back a bit and kisses her as deeply as their current location would allow.
"Mazel Tov! Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard and Sara Snart!" Martin announces.
The pair race back down the aisle and share another kiss before all the guests come back to congratulate them.
It's a small wedding, so the receiving line doesn't take long. After some pictures, the reception hall is ready and Jefferson announces the bridal party.
"And now we party, eh, Canary?" Leonard asks as they take their seats.
"Now, we party," she agrees.
They have a fabulous meal and it's time for the first dance.
"You wanna dance, Leonard?" she asks with a smile in her voice, repeating the question from their first mission.
"This time, I'm not going to say no!" he says as he follows her to the dance floor.
"Or waste good beer!" Mick calls.
At the opening chords of "Love Will Keep Us Together" by Captain & Tennille, Mick can't help but smile. He was the only one there to see the very beginnings of this love in a bar fight. To see how Sara impressed Leonard from the start and how Sara ate it up. And as much as it used to annoy him that Blondie seriously invaded his and Leonard's partnership, he now looks at her as a sister and another partner to their group. Yeah, she could be irritating, but so could the boss. They really were a good match.
As "Can't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speedwagon began to play, Sara and Leonard didn't even notice the song had changed and the bridal party joined them on the floor.
"Having fun, sis?" Laurel asks as she and Mick danced by.
"Mmm-hmm," Sara replies.
"Yeah, she's lost for a while," Laurel said with a smile as Mick spun her under his arm.
"We did it," Sara said, staring deep into Leonard's eyes.
"I can't believe it, but yeah, we did. And can I just say that you are the most beautiful bride ever? That dress is amazing."
"Thanks. Speaking of our clothes, what happened to no tuxes?"
"Well, Raymond made a convincing argument to step up our wardrobe. Plus, I wanted to see your face when you saw it."
"Definitely surprised me! And you definitely look good in it. Might have to make more formal events if you're always going to look like that," she says with a smirk.
"Yeah, let's see how that goes," he replies as the song ends and he dips her again with a bit of a flourish.
"Show off," she says.
He only replies with mischief in his eyes and a waggle to his brows.
Another song passes before the couple returns to the reception. Mostly because Leonard sees Lisa dancing with Cisco and runs off to chase him away.
"What the hell, Ramon! I said the whole room apart!"
As the night goes on, the typical wedding events pass. They feed each other cake (later they would remember that those bites were the only bites of their cake they would get), Sara dances with Quentin, and the bouquet and garter are tossed (caught by Lisa and Cisco, despite everything Leonard did to prevent it).
Sara and Leonard are sharing one last dance before the reception starts to wrap up.
"So, was today everything you expected?" he asks.
"No, not really," she replies, quickly finishing that thought as Leonard's face falls. "That's not what I mean! What I mean is that it's nothing that I originally expected. If you were to ask me even 5 years ago what my wedding would look like, I would have said, 'Probably the justice of the peace.' It just made sense for my life. At best some quickie chapel in Vegas. But look at us! In a gown and a tux. We look like a real bride and groom."
"Hey, even badasses can clean up nice once in a while. You ready for forever?"
"Yep. Ready to spend it all with you. Though, we do live on a time ship. Forever is kinda relative now."
"Semantics," he scoffs.
"Hey, I'll take forever anyway I can get it.
"Might be weird being the old married couple on the ship now."
"Nah, they already think of us as the Mom and Dad. Nothing will change. Though, I wonder if Gideon will start calling me Mrs. Snart now."
"God, I hope not. How awful."
"Hey, I don't mind it!"
"Come on! It's 2017, I can become Mr. Lance, right?"
"Leonard, we're not your parents. I'm always going to be your wife. Nothing wrong with that."
"You might be crazier than I thought, assassin."
"Says the man who calls his wife 'assassin.'"
"Says the woman who calls her husband 'crook.'"
"You started that."
"Whatever."
Just then, Jefferson interrupts their conversation. "If we can finally break the bride and groom apart, it's time to end this party."
"I guess forever starts now, eh, Captain?" Sara asks.
"Forever started a while ago, Canary."
Jefferson clears his throat.
"Patience, Jefferson!" Leonard calls.
"Hey, it's not me they're gonna charge if we leave here too late," Jax replies.
"Put it on Queen's tab!" Leonard says, without taking his eyes off his wife.
Sara laughs, especially when she hears Oliver's protest.
"Let's get out of here, Sara. Time for our honeymoon."
"I thought you'd never ask!"
Leonard scoops up his bride and runs out towards forever.
