Mr. And Mrs. Jack Dawson; April 16th 1912
Finally Father Byles walked in, Jack and Fabrizio were standing up on the altar and everyone else was waiting in their seats. The cake had already been delivered as well, everything was ready for the wedding.
Father Byles walked up and joined Jack and Fabrizio, the steerage musicians were seated right next to the altar ready to start the wedding music. "Okay where are Helga and Cora?!" Jack whispered sharply to Fabrizio under his breath. Fabrizio shrugged. "They should be here by now!" Jack whispered. Fabrizio shrugged again "I a' don't know!" he whispered.
The musicians were about to begin playing "Wait!" Jack held his hand up. Father Byles looked confused, as did everyone sitting down. Mr. and Mrs. Dahl looked at eachother, neither of them had seen their daughter for a couple of hours. No one even noticed Lovejoy at the top of the stairs. Rose was still in the other room, wondering why the music hadn't started yet.
Meanwhile Cal and Ruth were back in their suite. Cal was pacing around the room, Ruth looked worried. "I haven't seen Rose all day, I swear if she'd down there again!" she grumbled. Cal was fuming "Not to worry Ruth, Lovejoy will find her."
Just then Lovejoy burst in "Mr. Hockley!" he said. Cal spun around to see Lovejoy, he had a wild look in his eyes. "What is it Lovejoy what?!" Cal demanded. Lovejoy was panting heavily, he caught his breath. "She's getting married...to him." Cal glanced at Ruth, her mouth had dropped open. "WHAT?!" he shouted. Lovejoy patted his chest "Just what I saw sir." he said.
Ruth got up and started pacing as well, she ran her fingers through her hair nervously. "Oh no this can't be happening! My daughter is NOT going to disobey me like this!" Cal shushed her "She isn't going to get away with this I will not allow it!" he said. Trudy came in with tea "Tea?" she asked. "Shut up Trudy!" Cal snapped.
"Sorry Mr. Hockley." Trudy put down the tea tray. Cal looked at Lovejoy "Come Lovejoy we're stopping this before it begins!" he said. "Yes sir!" Lovejoy followed him to the door. Trudy jumped in front of it "Please have some tea!" she begged. Cal moved her out of the way and opened the door. Ruth looked at Trudy "Trudy did you know about this?" she asked.
Trudy put her head down "Yes Misses Dewitt Bukater." she admitted. Ruth shook her head "I'd expect more out of you Trudy, get me some tea NOW!" Trudy nodded "Yes ma'am." she said handing Ruth a cup of tea.
It had already been 5 minutes after the wedding was supposed to start and Rose was getting nervous. Everyone in the general room was waiting for Helga and Cora. Jack looked at Fabrizio "Where on Earth are they?" he snapped. Fabrizio held his hands up "No worries I go find them." he said. "Thanks Fabrizio." Jack said.
No one had even thought to ask Molly, she was busy talking to Mr. Andrews and some steerage ladies behind her. Fabrizio ran off the altar and out of the general room.
He checked the room where Rose was supposed to be waiting. Rose was pacing, "Fabrizio! Why hasn't the wedding started yet?" she asked. "You a' mean you no seen Helga and Cora?" Fabrizio asked. Rose shrugged "No...I figured they were already in the general room waiting to start." she said with a concerned look.
Fabrizio waved his hands "I go find them now!" he said running out. He ran down the hall "Helga?" "Helga?" he was yelling. No answer. Fabrizio shook his head. "What in the world..." he wondered aloud. Just then Molly came out "Lookin' for Helga?" she asked. He spun around "Si...you are Molly eh?"
Molly chuckled "I'm guessin' you're Fabrizio. I saw your girlfriend Helga sitting around with the little flower girl Cora before and said they could get ready in my room, that was the last time I saw 'em if you wanna check up there." she said. Fabrizio smiled "Si I am Fabrizio, grazie." he said.
Molly smiled as Fabrizio started jogging towards the elevator. "Helga's got my room key just knock, it's cabin B4!" she called. "Grazie!" Fabrizio yelled back. He ran into the elevator.
He got off on B deck and ran down the hall looking for Molly's cabin. Finally he saw cabin B4. He caught his breath outside the door and knocked, Helga answered it. "Hei Fabrizio!" she said. Fabrizio nearly fell backwards in shock.
Helga had one of Molly's big hair pieces in her hair and she was wearing Molly's bright red lipstick. Cora ran up beside her, she reeked of old lady perfume. Fabrizio waved his hand in front of his face "Dio mio a' what is that smell?" he asked. "Helga sprayed me!" Cora said, she seemed to not be enjoying the smell either. Helga smiled "Ja!" Fabrizio laughed and shook his head "Oh Helga you two are something else!"
Helga giggled and took Molly's hairpiece out "I look in mirror this too big!" she said. Cora had run to get a towel, she was trying to dab the smell off, Fabrizio chuckled. Helga said "I do keep lipstick på selv det look good på meg!"
Fabrizio chuckled "Helga a' the wedding is a' gonna start we all waiting for you two!" Helga thought for a second "Oh!" she said, realizing how late it was. "Hurry you come with me!" he grinned and took her hand. They ran down the hall, Cora ran after them.
They ran back down and burst into the general room, Jack sighed with relief. Molly chuckled from her seat. Cora ran up and hugged Jack "Sorry Uncle Jack!" she said. Jack smiled "It's okay Cora, here go stand in the doorway and wait until the music starts." he handed her some flower petals.
Fabrizio smiled and walked with Helga back up on the altar. They kissed then split up to opposite sides. The steerage band began to play a slow waltz and Cora walked down the aisle dropping flower petals.
Rose took a deep breath and walked through the doors to the general room. She slowly walked down the aisle and everyone clapped, she waved happily at Molly and Mr. Andrews.
Jack stood up on the altar grinning as Rose walked towards him. She carefully stepped up on the altar and Jack kissed her hand. Father Byles stood between them and adressed the guests. Even Captain Smith, Chief Officer Wilde, and First Officer Murdoch were there.
"We are all here today to witness something truely wonderful." Father Byles began. Everyone clapped. Jack and Rose couldn't stop smiling at eachother, "This is so crazy Rose!" Jack whispered. Rose giggled.
Father Byles smiled "We are here to witness the marriage of Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater." he said. Everyone clapped again. Fabrizio smiled at Helga from across the altar, she giggled.
Father Byles looked at Jack "Jack do you take Rose as your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for rich or for poor, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish from this day forward, until death do you part?" he asked.
Jack grinned and looked deeply into Rose's eyes "I do." he said. Father Byles smiled "And do you Rose, take Jack as your husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for rich or for poor, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish from this day forward, until death do you part?" he asked.
Happy tears streamed down Rose's face. "Oh Jack you know I d-" Cal and Lovejoy burst through the doors "STOP!" Cal shouted. Everyone jumped and turned around.
Jack and Rose looked at eachother. Jack slapped his forehead angrily, Rose rolled her eyes. "What is the meaning of this!?" Captain Smith stood up. Cal was fuming "THAT IS MY FIANCEE!" he yelled shaking his fist at Jack.
Officer Murdoch chuckled "Apparently not anymore." he said. Cal was shaking with anger "This is absurd!" he yelled. "ROSE YOU ARE STOPPING THIS NONSENSE IMMEDIATELY!" he began walking towards the altar. Mr. Andrews grabbed him and pulled him back. "Not today Mr. Hockley." Captain Smith said.
Cal tried to squirm out of Mr. Andrews grip but it was no use. "I demand you let go of me right now Mr. Andrews!" Cal said. Mr. Andrews shook his head with a smile "Gladly, after Rose says I do."
He motioned for Rose to continue. "I do." she said. Father Byles smiled "By the Captain and crew of the RMS Titanic and the White Star Line, I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Jack Dawson!" They kissed. Fabrizio and Helga smiled, everyone clapped.
"There ya are Mr. Hockley." Mr. Andrews released Cal. "NO!" Cal yelled, he was jumping up and down angrily. Lovejoy shook his head and sighed. Officer Murdoch and Officer Wilde escorted them out, Cal was still yelling as Murdoch pushed him out the door.
Everyone was standing up clapping, some people even whistled and whooped. Jack and Rose bowed and jumped off the altar on the platform hand in hand. Fabrizio smiled and walked down off the platform arm in arm with Helga, they kissed too.
Jack and Rose walked through the crowd of smiling, clapping, people. Molly and Mr. Andrews were the first to congratulate them. The Cartmells, Tommy, Fabrizio, and the Dahls also congratulated them.
"I knew you could do it Jack-o!" Tommy said with a giant grin. Jack laughed and kissed Rose on the cheek with a wet smack, she giggled "Oh Jack!" People began to move all the extra chairs into the hall and put the general room back the way it was so they could have the reception. Fabrizio, Helga, Tommy, and Cora were all standing around Jack and Rose. They were all so happy.
Meawhile Cal and Lovejoy walked back up to first class and burst into the suite. Ruth immediately turned to face them, her expression turned from anxious to dismayed. "Where's my daughter?" she asked with deep concern.
Cal kicked the wall, knocking one of Rose's paintings down. "She's married, we couldn't stop it Ruth." he said. Ruth fainted, Trudy immediately ran to get her some water.
