As the weeks went by though, no one could think of anything. Colette and Alfredo gave up and let the priest continue his insults toward rats, but the only good part about that was getting to insult the priest in return whenever they were outside with Jesus. Although Alfredo and Colette only insulted the priest's prejudism and intolerance.

When Django and Emile heard what had happened at Notre Dame Django started swearing (mildly though) and Emile comforted Remy. Django then said that he owed Alfredo one for saving Remy. He even hugged Alfredo (sort of, since the size difference). Emile also gave Alfredo his thanks for saving Remy and hugged Alfredo too.

Anton also heard the story and felt sorry for Colette and Alfredo, but mostly felt sorry for Remy since he was the one who was being insulted. Alfredo wanted Remy to be best man/ring bearer, but the way things were going Anton would have to fill that role. As for the rest of the wedding though, everything was going great. The reception was even going to be at La Ratatouille so Remy and his family were at least allowed to come to that event (needless to say, the priest never even heard about the reception). Luckily, something happened the day before the wedding that turned things around:

Colette was over at Alfredo's, and they were talking excitedly about finally being together forever after tomorrow. What they didn't expect, since they told Anton and Jesus that they wanted to spend the day alone, was a knock at the door. When Alfredo opened it….

"Break out the champagne, contact Remy, and let's celebrate!" Jesus cried happily as he barged in, almost knocking Alfredo down.

"Jesus!" Alfredo gasped, startled, before realizing what he just said. "Oh, uh, sorry…."

"Forget it, I'm used to that." Jesus shrugged. "Great news! Remy can be at the wedding!"

"WHAT?" Alfredo and Colette gasped.

Remy was just upstairs so he obviously overheard their gasps.

"What's going on?" He asked as he came downstairs.

"Jesus…just said that you can be at the wedding." Colette explained, wide-eyed.

"Jesus this is not April Fools Day…." Remy started to say sternly.

"No, no, you don't understand: dad has a cold and can't perform any weddings for a few days." Jesus explained, now a bit calmer.

"But what about…." Colette started to complain.

"Let me finish: since I'm licensed – reluctantly licensed but licensed nonetheless – to be a priest guess who's substituting for dad?" Jesus grinned.

"You mean…you…?" Alfredo said both happily and slightly disbelievingly (about their good luck, not Jesus's kindness).

"You bet." Jesus smiled.

Everyone cheered, and Alfredo quickly called Anton to tell him the good news. Anton, of course, was overjoyed.

The next day, Colette drove Alfredo, Remy, Django, and Emile to Notre Dame.

"Nervous?" Colette smiled to Alfredo.

"Actually…no, I'm just excited." Alfredo smiled back. "I can't believe it dearest, in just a few minutes we're going to be together forever."

"I'm sure your parents are extremely proud of you Alfredo." Remy whispered.

"I know, I wish they were here but at least they can watch from heaven."

They had just entered the church at this point.

"Well, here's where we split up for a bit." Colette said.

"For hopefully the very last time." Alfredo smiled before grinning. "Don't worry, I won't faint at the altar."

Colette and their rat friends chuckled. Colette and Alfredo then shared a last kiss as an un-married couple before going to change. Remy, Django, and Emile also dressed up, though only in tuxedo jackets and bow ties. Alfredo however never looked his handsomest, despite never wearing a non-waiter tuxedo before he had picked a very good one. Colette too had picked a good wedding dress, though unexpectedly it was a style that didn't match her tomboy nature. Then again, I once read that weddings were supposed to be the fairytale moments of a person's life, so there you go. Her wedding dress was an off the shoulder type, with ruffles in the skirt and lace along the top. She also wore elbow length silk gloves edged with lace. She even wore a tiara along with her train, a tiara that was gold and diamond (I helped with that, in case you were wondering).

Separate from usual tradition, Remy did not walk down the aisle like most ring bearers. Since it was a small wedding there was no point, so he just waited on the podium that Jesus was going to speak behind. Django and Emile waited there too, and Anton waited next to them. He also planned to be behind Alfredo just in case if he got a little weak-kneed. Alfredo then showed up and waited. Not long after, Colette walked down the aisle, and Alfredo's heart skipped a beat. Anton and their rat friends were also shocked, they didn't expect Colette to dress up that much. I mean she was even wearing makeup! Light makeup though, just lipstick and eye shadow.

"You…look beautiful." Alfredo whispered.

"Well I wanted to look special for my true love." Colette smiled.

Alfredo blushed, not an embarrassed blush though just a happy one.

For the first time in any wedding, the bride did not have a bouquet. Colette didn't have any bridesmaids, so it was already obvious that Hermione or Selena would've caught it (since I wouldn't have even attempted to). Another part of the wedding that was different was that Jesus said most of the vows, and Alfredo and Colette just did the 'I do'. During Alfredo's turn everyone was actually nervous that he'd mentally lose his voice, but love overcame nerves and he said the words. Colette's eyes shone with pride and love as she to said the words when it was her turn. They then shared their first kiss as husband and wife, and we all went straight to the reception. The surprises weren't over though.

At La Ratatouille, Jesus actually had the honor of entering the kitchen…where Remy was cooking the small banquet. And that's when he learned the truth about Alfredo's past cooking 'skills'.

"Remy's…the famous cook?" Jesus gasped. "Amazing!"

"Yes, and because of your positive attitude about that we've decided to hire you as another cook." Alfredo smiled.

"You mean…?"

"Not only do we need the extra help, but think of it as a thank you for helping us with our wedding." Colette smiled.

Jesus, who had lengthened his childhood because of his father's 'bad' parenting skills, did a war whoop (and fell down in the process, even he laughed).

The rest of the reception was actually one of the happiest ever despite the few guests. And as for the honeymoon, well, since the bride and groom already live in Paris they went to Venice, Italy, the second most romantic city, instead. Remy missed them while they were gone, but he was glad to be able to have plenty of time with the rat side of his family. The family wasn't going to stop here though, in just a couple of months, Alfredo was going to find out about one of the happiest surprises of his life. He was going to be the father of a boy who he and Colette named…Auguste. And a very good father too, as Colette once said to him: "If you are a good husband, then you are a good father. And you, Alfredo, are a wonderful husband.".
