CHAPTER 6
Two D's In Apartment 23
A couple of weeks later before their wedding, Ellie hums while brushing her hair, her fur and her tail after her shower. "Well someone's looking forward to getting ready for her wedding." said the owner as he watches her.
"Oh hi." said Ellie. "Just doing my hair."
"That's fantastic." he said. "I've dry cleaned your dress for your big day."
"Is it White?" she asked looking at her dress.
"Mm-Hmm." he said.
"My God, it's fabulous." she said.
"That's great." he said. "I'm glad you liked it. So you're gonna wear it today?"
"Oh yes." she said. "This'll look really good on me."
"Okay." he said. "I'll leave you to it."
Meanwhile, Stewie helps Brian with his suit for his big day at the wedding. "Well, today's the day Bri." said Stewie as he puts his shirt on Brian. "Today, you're finally going to get married."
"I must say, Stewie." said Brian as he buttons up his shirt. "Ellie's my gal mate, shall become my wife."
"Well, I hope you've remembered your vows I've written you for her." said Stewie handing Brian his tie.
"Hope you haven't written anything bad about her." said Brian wearing his tie.
"Nothing bad is in it." said Stewie wearing Brian his black suit jacket. "Nothing that I've written is bad."
"Okay." said Brian as he buttons up his jacket.
"Can't go to the wedding without pants." said Stewie handing Brian his suit pants.
"Thanks, Stewie." said Brian putting on his pants then zips up.
"There you go, see for yourself." said Stewie facing the mirror to Brian.
"This looks okay." said Brian admiring his suit.
"That's good," said Stewie. "Looks like you're about ready to go."
"Go where?" asked Brian.
"To the wedding of course." said Stewie. "Now let's go, the family is waiting on you."

Later at the wedding hall, Brian stood tall, strong and proud as the crowd of friends and families watch him at the altar. 'Okay Brian,' thought Brian to himself. 'You can do this, today is your big day, you are about to marry that girl today.'
"Are you ready, Brian?" asked Stewie.
"I'm so nervous, Stewie." said Brian. "But I'm ready to marry her."
"Well, this wedding better be worth it, Brian." said Stewie. "Because I promised Rupert for our next pretend trip to the moon."
"Wow, no wonder you've been playing with your toy." said Brian.
"Ssh, ssh. Get your game face on, Brian." said Stewie. "Here comes your bride."
"Is that Ellie?" said Brian.
"I hope so." said Stewie.
Suddenly, the doors opened as everyone looks at Ellie, now in her white wedding dress along with her owner. Brian slightly wags his tail and smiled as he saw her. The organ plays 'Here Comes the Bride' as the owner walks Ellie through the aisle of pews towards Brian at the altar. The owner unlatches Ellie from the leash as she and Brian looked at each other with a smile.
"I gotta say Ellie, you look astounding in that dress." complimented Brian.
"Why, thank you Brian." said Ellie. "And may I say that, you look dapper in that suit."
"Gosh, thanks Ellie." he said.
Ellie sniffs Brian. "And you smell gorgeous with that precious cologne." she complimented.
"Thanks," he said, then he sniffs Ellie. "And you've got that nice perfume smell, Ellie."
"Aw, thank you Brian." she said. The two mates turned to the vicar.
"Dearly beloved." said the vicar. "We are gathered here today to witness the union of Brian Griffin and Ellie Saluki in holy matrimony." While the vicar delivers the sermons and prayers, the two mates began to share thoughts.
'This is going great.' thought Ellie. 'I've never thought I had any feeling that being together was the best thing there is.'
'I've had that same feeling too.' thought Brian. 'I mean, we could get a house, start a family, but the first thing I need is a real job.'
'Our future is to die for.' she thought. 'But what if I'm carrying one of Max's puppies? Nah, it's never gonna happen. I'm just gonna have to deal with it. Probably nothing.'
'I guess you're right.' he thought. 'Max deserves to be in the pound. He won't be bothering us anymore.'
"And before we move on to the vows," said the vicar. "if anyone here has a particular reason why those two shall not be wedded, let them speak now or forever hold your peace."
"I believe this dog has something to say." said Carter Pewterschmidt standing up. Brian and Ellie turned their heads to the crowd seeing Carter. "She has something to say about Brian."
Carter sends out Seabreeze. "Hello Brian." said Seabreeze as she walks towards the two mates. "I'm very much appreciated that you two came here on behalf of your big day."
"What are you doing here, Seabreeze?" asked Brian.
"Carter brought me here." she said. "To see how you mates are getting along."
"We're getting along just fine, Seabreeze." said Ellie. "But it makes us feel uncomfortable with you spying on us."
"Spying on you?" said Seabreeze in confusion, then she laughs. "No, never. Why would I ever want to spy on you? I never spy on anyone with their discomfort."
"Then why did you watch us mate through the basement window?" asked Ellie in her concern.
"To tell you the truth," replied Seabreeze. "I wanted to make sure you two mates never make the same mistake as I did."
"We all know what that mistake was, Seabreeze, but that's not the point." said Brian. "You were watching over us, because you were jealous of us."
"Jealous?" said Seabreeze, then she laughs. "Honestly, why would I be jealous? I wanted to congratulate you two on getting married today. I was just thinking of planning to get another boyfriend someday."
"You could do that." he said.
"You just don't have any objections, do you?" asked Ellie.
"To answer that question you two, no." said Seabreeze. "So I guess that I'll best be back to Carter. I'll let you mates get on with the vows. Enjoy the rest of your lives, Griffins." she laughs as she returns to Carter. The two mates calmed down and smiley turned back to the vicar.
"I'm very much surprised that there aren't any objections, but I believe an appreciation is very much modest." said the vicar. "Now let's get on with the vows. May we have the rings?" Stewie hands Brian and Ellie each ring. "Now I believe you two have prepared your vows."
"We have." said Ellie and Brian in unison.
"Okay." said the vicar, then he turns over to Ellie. "Ellie, you may begin your vow."
"Alright." she said as she cleared her throat and then she began her vow.
"Brian, from the first time I've met you, I felt like I've found true love. We've had some good times together, we've had some fun, we've shared some thoughts and even though we both won the dog show but you've got replaced, you are still my champion and that's why I'll always love you. So therefore I, Ellie Saluki, take thee, Brian Horace Griffin, to be my lawful wedded husband, to love, to honour and to cherish for as long as we both shall live." Ellie places the ring on Brian's second finger.
"Very good." he said, then he turns over to Brian. "Brian, you may begin your vow."
"Okay." said Brian as he cleared his throat and then he began his vow.
"Ellie, when I first met you, I felt like I'm in love. Not only did we win the dog show, but we've had a lot of our time together, we both shared a kiss and we both couldn't live without the other. Usually, I was alone, but now that you've found me, we are altogether to become one of a kind and that's why I'll always love you. So therefore I, Brian Horace Griffin, take thee, Ellie Saluki, to be my lawful wedded wife, to love, to honour and to cherish for as long as we both shall live." Brian places the ring on Ellie's second finger.
"Okay, so all the rings have been put on, now let's conclude with the union." said the vicar. "By the power vested in me, by the state of Rhode Island."
"And the New England Patriots football team." added Peter.
"Yes, and by the New England Patriots football team." said the vicar. "I now pronounce you two, dog and wife. You may now kiss the bitch." And with that, Brian and Ellie kissed each other as there was an applause from everyone else except Seabreeze because she is wagging her tail, so do the rest of the dogs.
Then the two mates began to sing in unison. "Just like we said that we'll always be there together." And so, Brian and Ellie are both very happy as they are finally married and their last names are now and forever as the Griffins.

The next day, Brian and Ellie's stuff was already loaded in Brian's Prius. "So you're all set to go?" asked Lois.
"Yes Lois." said Brian. "Everything is all loaded."
"Brian, I'm gonna miss you buddy." said Peter hugging him.
"I'll miss you too, Peter." said Brian as he says his parting words to the family. "Lois, take good care of Stewie. Meg and Chris, stay in school. Stewie," Brian takes a deep breath. "Thanks for everything pal, I couldn't have done better without you."
"Anytime, Brian." said Stewie. "By the way, here's something that you'll remember us by." Stewie hands Brian a family portrait. Brian looks at a portrait of the Griffin family including Brian and Ellie and then he sheds a tear.
"Thanks, Stewie." said Brian as he hugs him.
'Beep Beep' went the car horn.
"Let's go Brian." called Ellie. Brian turns his head to Ellie. "I'm looking forward to finding a place to live."
"I'll be right there, honey." Brian called back. "Just saying goodbye to my family."
"Okay." she called.
"Brian, enjoy your time with Ellie." said Lois.
"I will." said Brian as he drops a tear. "I love you all." Brian then walks to his Prius, gets in and drives off with Ellie as the Griffins including the neighbours waved goodbye to the two mates.
"Wow Brian." said Ellie. "This is just like the ending of Robin Hood. He and Maid Marian got together and lived happily ever after."
"And yet, I'm glad I chose the right Marian." said Brian.
"Who would that be?" she asked.
"Why you, my dear." he replied.
"Oh Brian." she chuckled.

Later, the two mates have arrived at a run-down apartment. Brian carried Ellie to apartment number 23 like a married couple. They both entered the apartment and settled in. "Brian, this place is a mess." said Ellie as she looks around. "Are you sure that we have to live in here until we can find a house?"
"It looks like we're gonna have to get used to living here, Ellie." said Brian smelling the air. "Ah yes, I remember this place. It was where I hid here until all the hate dies down."
"Brian, that hate viral about that racist tweet you posted was like three and a half months ago." she said. "Then you came back home as a hero just before last Christmas."
"And it was before I met you, honey." he said.
"Oh stop." she said chuckling. "If any place we had to go, it had to be this. I don't know if our puppies will ever be born and live here with us."
"I'm sure they'll be fine in the meantime." he said feeling her belly. The lights suddenly dim and burn out.
"Could use some electrical work." she said.
"I couldn't agree more." he said.
At the local pharmacy, Brian and Ellie Griffin are doing a bit of shopping for some errands and their puppies. "Brian," said Ellie. "I gotta ask you something."
"What is it, Ellie?" asked Brian.
"Well, how do I put this?" she said. "Since we're renting the apartment, you did think about getting a real job, right?"
"Right." he said.
"Well… What about suicide hotline?" she asked.
"Oh yeah," he said. "I've remembered my last job. Didn't go so well when Martha pushed me down the stairs."
"And that's where you broke your knee?" she said. "That's terrible. But since you've been recovered after what happened, I'm pretty sure you'll have the chance of getting rehired."
"Might be, might be not." he said. "But it's your call."
Back at the apartment, the two mates carried the bags to the kitchen. They both put the bags on top of the counter and panted in their exhaustion afterwards. "Man, it's such a struggle carrying all those bags." said Brian panting.
"I know." said Ellie panting. "What kind of bags are that big as this?"
"I'm just gonna go relax." said Brian walking to the living room.
"You do that, dear." said Ellie. "I'll try to cook some dinner."
As Ellie tries to cook dinner, she got out the pot pan, fills it up with water, puts it on the cooker, tries to turn on the cooker but the igniter clicked many times and wouldn't ignite. "What the frick is up with this cooker?" said Ellie then she tries again, but the fiery fire jumps her screaming then she hits the wall almost injured.
"Oh my God!" said Brian in panic as he ran towards her. "Ellie, are you alright?"
"I'm okay." she said as she tries to recover from her pain. "That cooker scared the crap out of me."
"Okay, you're doing just fine." said Brian turning down the heat from the cooker. "Just keep cooking."
"Thank you." said Ellie as she gets up and returns to the cooker.
After cooking, it's dinner time as Brian and Ellie Griffin shared their dinner, whilst thinking about raising puppies of their own by walking them, bathing them and reading them bedtime stories.
Later that night, the two mates got themselves ready for bed as they removed their collars and placed them in the nightstand. They both stretched and yawned. "Gosh Ellie," said Brian getting into bed. "It's been a long day since we're married."
"I know." said Ellie getting into bed. "This day is exhausting dear, but the main thing is we love each other."
"Yeah." he said. "No matter what happens, we're always there together."
"Sure, always." she said. They both kissed each other and laid their heads down on their pillows.
"Good night, Ellie." he said.
"Good night, Brian." she said. They both turned the lamps off and went to sleep.
