Jesse Swanson and Beca Mitchell never thought that college-Stacie Conrad would settle down and get married.

Jesse and Beca Swanson never thought that the Stacie Conrad they knew when they first got married would settle down and get married.

Jesse and Beca Swanson never thought that the Stacie Conrad that was the self-proclaimed fun aunt to their children would settle down and get married.

But somehow, Stacie Conrad was settling down and getting married.


"Wedding day!" Beca announced brightly, as she plucked the little dress Molly would be wearing off its hanger. "Wedding day guys! We're gonna go and see Aunt Stacie get married! Aunt Stacie and Uncle Ryan are getting married today".

Ryan had been a part of their lives since before they turned one, and they had always referred to him as one of their uncles. But that day, it was going to be made official.

Stacie Conrad, the slut of Barden University and beyond, was going to become Mrs Ryan Douglas.


They were big on family, in their group. It didn't matter what the occasion was, there was a very real chance that everyone was going to be there. And weddings were the number one occasion.

So abandoning her husband and male children, Beca rushed to where Stacie and the rest of the bridesmaids (Aubrey had instructed her to be there three hours before, Beca told her to get real. She'd stood up to the pregnant lady and said that when she had three toddlers to get ready for a wedding then Beca would arrive on time).

"Aunt Stacie you so pretty!" Molly gushed, as Beca brought her back to join the rest of the bridesmaids.

"Aw, thanks punchkin!" Stacie beamed at her and Molly grinned, hugging her gently.

"I sit with Daddy and watch", Molly told her seriously. "But you pretty. Where Uncle Ryan?"

"Uncle Ryan's getting ready with the boys", Chloe told her.

Stacie and Ryan were, in the eyes of some, a traditional couple.

But their wedding was certainly not going to be traditional. Their bridesmaids, for example, were all wearing the same colour- but all a different style. They were mismatched and beautiful and Stacie loved it.

"This is gonna be the best day', Fat Amy said brightly.


"Aunt Stacie looks pretty", Toby said quietly as the bride advanced down the aisle (taking a moment to wave to her niece and nephews), and Jesse smiled.

"She does, doesn't she bud?"

"Mummy looks pretty too", Jack agreed.

Jesse smiled, wrapping his arms around his sons and reaching out to squeeze Molly's shoulder.

(It had been over ten years since he and Beca got married. What?)


"You may kiss the bride".

As Stacie wrapped her arms around Ryan's neck, Molly, Toby, Jack and Harry burst into giggles, making their parents' laugh.

As they advanced down the aisle, Ryan motioned the kids over, and they scrambled away, Toby launching himself at the newlywed.

"Hey Uncle Ryan!"

"Hey guys!" Stacie laughed, peppering them with kisses and lifting Molly into her arms. "Hey punchkin!"


"Imma get married too", Molly declared later that afternoon, as Ryan and Stacie took to the dance floor. Jack, harry and Toby frowned at her.

"You hafta kiss", Toby said in disgust, wrinkling his nose. "Yuck", Harry piped up.

"Ewww!" Jack giggled.

"My boys", Jesse said seriously, addressing Toby, Jack and little Harry. "It's your job to look out for her, okay? We don't want Molly to get married!"

""Kay", the three of them said seriously, nodding, and Molly rolled her eyes in the spitting image of her mother.

Beca burst out laughing. "That's my girl!"

Jesse's eyes widened in realisation- his daughter was too much like his wife.

"We're in trouble, boys", he said in a false whisper, and Beca smacked his arm.
