Life's Highway Chapter 36, a cars fanfic

Happy 4th of July everyone! Hey, it's epic, their wedding chapter was posted TODAY... :)

36-A Radiator Springs Wedding part 3/3.

Wedding Day.

The next afternoon, Sally was desperately trying to sit still. Holley was applying The last of her makeup. She'd already put on her dress, and was finished all except the eye shadow. Lily was wearing a red strapless dress that went just to her ankles. Her blonde hair was curled and fell just past her shoulders. Holley wore an identical dress, and her dark brown hair was also curled.
"There." Holley said, standing up. Sally opened her eyes. She looked in the mirror.
"Lightning is going to DROP DEAD when he sees you in that, Sally." Lily said, admiring her soon to be sister in law.
"You look gorgeous. Now for the veil." Holley looked around. "You forgot it at Lightning's house, didn't you?"
Sally grinned sheepishly. "Whoops." She said.
Lily stood. "I'll get it." and lily ran out side. She got to Lightning's house and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" She heard her brother call from inside. Lily walked in and found Lightning in his suit, straightening his tie in front of the mirror.
"Hey." Lily greeted. "Sally forgot the veil."
Lightning scoffed. "Go figure. We all knew she would. I think it's in the living room." Lily looked at Lightning.
"Are you okay, Lightning?" Lily asked.
He turned to face her. "I'm a little nervous." He admitted.
"Sally is too." Lily told him.
He looked surprised. "Really?" He asked.
"Yeah, we were talking last night. She seemed terrified." Lily said.
"Oh, is she okay?" Lightning asked, concerned.
"Yeah, she's fine now, but I think she was scared you'll say no."
Lightning smiled. "Well, you tell her that I said I love her. Okay?"
Lily grabbed the veil from the other room. "Okay."
the door opened just then and Sean walked in, obviously ready for the wedding. His hair was slicked back and he wore a suit and a red tie. He stopped short when he saw Lily.
"H-hi." He stuttered. She was gorgeous.
"Hey Sean." Lily said. "You look nice."
"And...you look gorgeous.." WAIT? Did he just say that? "I mean, you look nice too." He said, trying to cover up. "I mean, nicer obviously, then I could, but...wait! I didn't mean that! No I meant it, but-"
Lily giggled. "Sean, I've got to get back to Sally." She said. "I'll see you later." And she left.
Sean walked over to the wall and slammed his head into it."I am an idiot." He said bluntly.
Lightning just laughed. "All guys have this problem." He said to Sean. "You shoulda seen me around Sally the first time."
Sean laughed. "I'm betting she completely made a fool of you."
"You got that right. She absolutely did."

The time had come. Sally had to be at the courthouse in fifteen minutes. She stood up and was about to walk outside when Holley stopped her.
"You're missing something." Holley said.
Sally was surprised.
"Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." Holley reminded.
"Okay. Well," Sally started. "My necklace I'm borrowing is from my mother. That's something borrowed. This dress is new. The earrings I have in are from Lightning's mother, and they're practically antique. So all we need is something blue."
Holley's face lit up. "I'll be right back." She said, then took off in the direction of her house. Five minutes later she came back carrying something lacy.
"What's that?" Sally asked, confused.
Holley smiled. "A garter." She replied. " I had the other one at my wedding. It has a blue ribbon."

Lightning stood in front of the pedestal. He was practically shaking, he was so nervous. Doc walked up and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Calm down." Doc said, then walked up behind the stand. Mater and Sean came and stood beside Lightning. Lightning took a deep breath. Alice walked in and sat at the piano, after setting a small pillow with the two rings up on the pedestal. They hadn't found anyone young enough to be ring bearer, so they decided to just have the rings set up on the stand. The audience were all sitting down by now. Alice began to play the wedding march. Lightning took another deep breath. The doors opened and Lily walked down the isle, sprinkling flower petals. She looked at Lightning and smiled, then stood in her spot. Next Holley walked down the isle, then took a spot next to lily. Alice began to play the music louder. Everyone stood and The doors opened fully. Sally walked down the isle, holding her father's arm. She was smiling at Lightning. Lightning was stunned. She was beautiful. He began to tear up, and all his nervousness melted away. Sally and her father reached the stand. She turned and hugged him, and he kissed her cheek. Then she turned and stood next to Lightning, and held his hand. He smiled at her, and she smiled back. The music ended and Doc stepped up to the microphone.
"Dearly Beloved." He began. "We are gathered here today in the sight of God and in the face of this congregation, to join together this man, and this woman in holy matrimony. If any man objects to this union, speak now, or forever hold your peace." there was silence. Sally and Lightning both noticed the other relax slightly.
"Alright." Doc said. "Let's get started.
Sally, do you take Lightning to be your wedded husband to live together In marriage? Do you promise to love, comfort, honor and keep him for better or worse, for richer or poorer, In sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to him, so long as you both shall live?"
"I Do." Sally said, with a small squeeze of Lightning's hand.
"Then repeat after me;" Doc said. (A/N:I'll just write what Sally says.)
"Lightning, I take you to be my lawfully wedded husband. Before these witnesses, I vow to love you and care for you as long as we both shall live. I take you, with all of your faults and strengths, as I offer myself to you with my faults and strengths. I will help you when you need help, and I will turn to you when I need help. I choose you as the person with whom I will spend my life."
Doc turned to Lightning.
"And do you, Lightning, take Sally to be your wedded wife to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love, comfort, honor and keep her, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to her, so long as you both shall live?"
"No." Lightning said. A gasp rose from the crowd. Sally, shocked, began to tear up.
"Sally, I won't love you till death do us part." He said as a tear slid down her cheek.
"How could anyone not love you for all eternity?" He asked, tearing up himself. "Sally, I take you to be my lawfully wedded wife. Before these witnesse I vow to love you and care for you longer then we both shall live. I take you with all your faults and strengths, as I offer myself to you with my faults and strengths. I will help you when you need help, and I will turn to you when I need help. I choose you as the person with whom I will spend the rest of my life.
And I love you with all my heart."
Doc, tearing up slightly himself, stepped back to the microphone.
"You may exchange the rings." He told them. Lightning took Sally's hand and He gently slid the ring onto her finger.
"With this ring, I thee wed." He told her.
Sally took the other ring. "With this ring, I thee wed." She said, sliding it on his hand.
"Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you, Husband and Wife." Doc announced. "You may now kiss the bride."
Lightning Lifted Sally's veil, and put his hands on her waist. She put his arms around his neck, and leaned up. Then they shared their first kiss as husband and wife. And everyone cheered.

After all the picture taking and such, Lightning and Sally McQueen made their way to the reception. The first thing they did was cut the cake. Sally held the cutter, and Lightning put his hand on top of hers. Together, the cut out one slice and set it on a plate, then faced each other. Sally broke off a small chunk and put it into Lightning's open mouth.
"That's some good cake, Flo." He said through his mouthful. Then He took another chunk, placed Part of it in Sally's mouth, and took some frosting and smeared it on her face. Everyone laughed except Sally, who gave him an annoyed look.
"That's not nice." She said, pretending to be hurt.
So, Lightning bent and licked it off her face, laughing as he did.
"How did the makeup taste, Lightning?" Sally asked, trying not to laugh after he swallowed.
he made a disgusted face and stuck out his tongue. After he made a point of wiping his tongue with a napkin, he leaned down and kissed Sally. About twenty minutes later, the dancing began. The first song belonged to Sally and Lightning, and was a slow dance. (Do I Love You, from Rodger's and Hammerstien's Cinderella)

Do I love you because you're beautiful,
or are you beautiful because I love you?
Am I making believe I see in you a girl too lovely to be really true?
Do I want you because you're wonderful,
or are you wonderful because I want you?
Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream
or are you really as beautiful as you seem?

Am I making believe I see in you a man too perfect to be really true?
Do I want you because you're wonderful,
or are you wonderful because I want you?

Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream
or are you really as wonderful as you seem?

Sally and Lightning ended the dance, smiling at each other, and Lightning gently pulled her into a kiss.
Next was the father daughter dance. Miguel approached Sally and took her hand, leading her onto the dance floor. They danced to Cinderella, by Steven Curtis Chapman. [Verse 1:]
She spins and she sways to whatever song plays,
Without a care in the world.
And I'm sitting here wearing the weight of the world on my shoulders.
It's been a long day and there's still work to do,
She's pulling at me saying "Dad I need you!
There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited and I need to practice my dancin'"
"Oh please, daddy, please!"

[Chorus:]
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone.

[Verse 2:]
She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says, "Dad the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancin'
"Oh please, daddy , please!"

[Verse 3:]
But she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowin' and tellin' us all they had planned
She says, "Dad the wedding's still six months away but I need to practice my dancin'
"Oh please, daddy , please!"

After it ended, Miguel, slightly teary eyed, embraced Sally.
"Io amo te per sempre, il mio angelo.
Congratulazioni." (I'll love you forever, My Angel. Congratulations.)
Sally was also in tears. "la ringrazio, padre. Anch'io ti amo." (Thank you, Father. I love you too.)
Half an hour later, everyone was walking around, congratulating the couple, and just having fun. Lightning and Sally were standing together in the center of the room, when they heard a familiar voice.
"Well, congratulations, you two." Strip Weathers said, walking up to them with his wife and son.
"Thanks Mr. Weathers." Lightning said with a smile. " So, how have you all been?"
Linda smiled. "Chasing after this kid." She and her husband said at the same time, indicating their son, who was standing in the floor, holding Linda's hand.
"How old Is he now?" Sally asked.
"Eight months." Strip replied. "So are you two thinking about having any?" He asked. Lightning and Sally both exchanged a look.
"We've both decided we want a large family." Lightning said slowly.
"So we shouldn't be surprised if you call us wanting parenting tips?" Linda asked with a grin.
"Don't be surprised in the least." Sally replied.
Strip glanced at the clock. "We'd better get going." He said to his wife, then turned to Sally and lightning. "Congratulations, you guys."
"Thanks." Sally and Lightning said at the same time. Lightning turned to Sally and gave her another kiss.
They were approached next by Isabella and Miguel, who hugged the both of them, before Miguel fixed Lightning with a stern look.
"You had better take good care of my daughter." He said gruffly.
Lightning pulled Sally closer. "I will, Sir." he replied. "Don't worry."
Miguel nodded. "Good. But if anything happens to her, I will hunt you down faster than your car drives on race day."
Lightning nodded, knowing that whatever Miguel said, he needed to agree with him.
A few minutes later, everyone was gathered out side the courthouse. Sally lifted her bouquet of red roses and threw it behind her shoulder. It was caught by Lily.
"You know, Lil, they say whoever catches the bouquet is the next to get married." lightning teased.
Then he kneeled on the ground next to Sally, who lifted her dress to just above her knee. Lightning looked up at her and smiled, before untying her garter. He stood back up, then threw it behind him. It was caught by Sean, who blushed a deep red and tried not to make eye contact with anyone.
"You know, Sean, they say that whoever catches the garter is the next person to get married." Sally said, then kissed her younger brothers cheek. He blushed even harder if that was possible and ESPECIALLY tried not to look at Lily. Everyone laughed, said their goodbyes, and Lightning and Sally were off, her porsche clattering and banging from all the pots and pans Logan had secretly put under it.
Everyone watched as the new McQueens were off to start their life together.

*sigh of relief* Finally! They are married!
But this story is FAR from over. I still plan to give you another thirty chapters or so.
