Hawkeye could not believe it – Margaret had said yes without hesitating at all.
"You'll marry me?"
Margaret laughed.
"Didn't you hear me the first time? Yes!"
Hawkeye picked Margaret up and spun her around, completely elated at the fact that he would finally be married with the love of his life.
Everyone congratulated the happy couple on their engagement, particularly BJ and Colonel Potter.
BJ smiled widely and said, "You guys, my two best friends, are getting married. I know you'll be as happy as Peg and I are, no doubt – The fights will be explosive (everyone chuckled a little), but everything will be worth it."
Hawkeye smiled, "Thanks Beej … Obviously, when the time comes, I'd want you to be my best man."
BJ was touched, but covered it well … "I'll be there in a clown suit, including massive red shoes!"
Hawkeye couldn't help but make a smart-aleck comment, "You don't need a clown suit Beej, the size of your feet automatically classify you as a clown!"
Everyone laughed and Hawkeye dragged his best friend into a hug, "Beej, apart from the wisecracks, I would be honoured if you'd be our best man."
BJ smiled and whispered, "I'd be honoured."
The Colonel approached the couple and, without saying a word, hugged them both.
Margaret pulled away and, with tears in her eyes, looked at the man who had been more of a father than her own and asked, "Colonel, would you give me away?"
The Colonel looked at the couple and then the MASH gang, "It would be my pleasure to walk my daughter down the aisle."
