Marilla was not fond of this Gardener man. She, like many thought Gilbert Blythe was a better fit for her, but who was she to question Anne's judgement? All of Avonlea was there even Gilbert Blythe despite Roy's worried Blythe would try to take his Anne.
Anne had had a strange feeling over the last few days like Roy only wanted her not loved her. So as she timidly walked down the altar, her arms full of roses, and she held the hand of the man she would forever be bound with until death do they part she, could not help but shiver.
"Do you Royal Gardener take Anne Shirley for your lawfully wedded wife?"said Reverend Jonas Blake
"I do."
"and do you Anne Shirley take Royal Gardener for your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I Do."
"If anyone objects to the union of these two let them speak now or forever hold their piece."said Reverend Jo
there was a momentary silence before...
"I object" he yelled standing in the church. " Anne I can't let you marry him, I can't, I won't."
Anne walked from Roy to Gilbert and said " Why can't you?"knowing the obvious answer to this question but wanted to here it pass through his lips.
"I love-" Gilbert was interrupted by a now mad Royal Gardener.
" Why can't you just accept that you lost? You didn't win Blythe and you never will."
" Anne is not a prize Gardener. She is a beautiful woman that neither of us deserve."
"Well I got her and you don't."said Roy
"No you don't Roy!"Anne burst out
"Everything you said just proved you don't love me. You only want me because you thought you could have me Roy."
The crowd gasped.
Roy left the church swearing under his breath " Dam you Blythe, &?$&($) you."
Anne took the engagement ring off her hand and scoffed.
" Diamonds the most horrible rock on the face of the planet."she said Gilbert walking behind her.
" Anne?"said Gilbert
"Yes Gilbert."replied Anne
He grabbed her hand, looked into her eyes, and said"I love you Anne Shirley."
Anne starred in awe. "Do you really mean that."
"With all my heart. I know you think I am good enough for you—"
"If anything Gilbert your to good for me."
"Oh Anne."he breathed
He brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear and said"Will you marry me right here right now."
She nodded for she could say no words and Gilbert took out a ring, one he had bought long ago,put it on her finger,and kissed her.
" Not how I imagined I would have my first kiss."she said
" Your first?!"
" My first."
"Are you sure you love me? You could have anyone you wanted, but you still say you want me."
"And I mean it Anne."
She smiled and kissed him. Gilbert pulled her in closer to his body.
Reverend Jo said behind them as it was evident they would marry anyway after." And with the power invested in me by the All Mighty I now pronounce you husband and wife.p
