Their car pulls up outside the Roadhouse twenty-five minutes later and the four of them stroll inside.
"One sec" Jo holds up a finger "just need to get rid of this guy" she points to a man sitting at the end of the bar "time to go Ash, we're closing"
"But it's" Ash glances at his watch, nods and leaves.
Jo goes to lock the door.
"Leave it for a minute" Gabriel says to her.
"Why?" Jo asks puzzled.
The door opens and Bobby walks in.
"That's why" Gabriel smiles and takes a sit at the bar "any chance of a drink?"
"Bobby?" Sam, Dean and Castiel says.
"You didn't tell them?" Bobby asks walking over to Gabriel.
"What?" Gabriel turns to the three men staring at him "Oh, Bobby's into town for the weekend. Surprize"
Ellen appears from the kitchen carrying two ice buckets contain Champagne.
"Hello all, Jo want to line up the glasses and" Ellen places the buckets on the counter "can someone telling me what we are celebrating"
"Castiel's book deal got extended and Nickelodeon is making them into a cartoon" Gabriel says taking one of the filled glasses and handing it to Castiel "Dean is taking him to Hawaii for a honeymoon, Sam said yes to my proposal and Bobby got ordained so he's going to perform the ceremony now, if that's alright?" Gabriel then takes a sip out of his glass while all the others do a spit take.
"What?" Sam asks.
"Now?" Bobby says.
"Congrats" Jo raises her glass smiling.
"This is not happening" Dean rubs his temple.
"Ha, ha, funny Gabriel" Castiel says to his brother.
"What's funny?" Gabriel looks confused "everything I said is true. I phoned Bobby last week to ask for Sam's hand in marriage and to get ordained"
"Seriously?" Sam looks at Gabriel.
"Yes, seriously Samwich" Gabriel turns to face Sam dead on "I thought about our wedding, the more I thought about it, the bigger headache I gave myself. The truth is my family, present company excluded" he smiles at Castiel "are"
"Dicks" Castiel helpfully supplies the word Gabriel is looking for.
"Dicks" Gabriel nods and continues "therefore they would find a way of ruining our wedding, so I came up with a plan. We'd get married without them but unlike Deano and baby bro who ran away and left certain people out, me, I thought I'd make in a family affair with the angel half of the family" Gabriel winks at Ellen and Jo.
Suddenly there is a loud knock on the bar door "Who is that?" Ellen says to Jo, who shrugs her shoulders.
"The witness" Gabriel says.
"Witness?" Sam looks confused.
"Yeah, Dean is one best man, Castiel the other, Bobby is performing the ceremony, Ellen is giving you away and Jo is the ring barer, we needed a witness" Gabriel takes another sip of his drink "but he is from the dick side of the family, sorry"
The door is knocked on again.
"I guess I'll open the door and let him in" Dean turns the key and opens the door to reveal Balthazar.
"Hello all. This is the famous Roadhouse" Balthazar spins around looking at the bar "why is the after party here and not at your place as usually Gabriel?"
"I moved in with Sam and Loki" Gabriel tells his cousin "which reminds me" he takes out his phone and calls someone "Hello, where are you now?" he walks out of the bar.
"Ok, am I missing something?" Balthazar asks, spotting the Champagne and the strange looks on everyone's face.
"I'm getting married" Sam tells him.
"I know Sam, I was there for the proposal" Balthazar tells him accepting a glass of Champagne from Ellen.
"No Balthazar, I'm getting married now" Sam says.
"Huh?"
"Gabriel has arranged for him and Sam to get married tonight" Castiel says "Bobby is going to perform the ceremony and you're here as a witness"
"Don't you have to have a licence and sign paper work to get married?" Balthazar looks at them.
"Yeah" Dean says.
Gabriel walks back in holding Loki in his arms "Loki go to Daddy" he lets the dog down, who instantly runs over to Sam.
"Gabriel don't you need to file paperwork to get married in the Commonwealth?" Castiel says to his brother, echoing Balthazar's earlier comments.
"Yeah, you have to go to the county clerk and get a marriage license" Gabriel smiles knowingly at Sam.
"Oh my God" Sam puts his hand to his mouth.
"What?" Dean says.
"I had a strange case about a month ago, this guy came in and said someone applied for a marriage license in his name and married someone to help them stay in the county. He said the authorities found out and he was in trouble, he asked was it that easy to get a license in this state" Sam pauses for a moment recalling the conversation "he said could I just walk into the county clerks office and get a license? Gabriel was meeting me for lunch, I told him the man's story and he suggested we try and see how difficult it was to see if the man's story was true. It was a trick?" Sam looks at Gabriel.
"Well" Gabriel bows his head slightly "not a trick exactly more of a rouse"
"Who was the man in trouble?" Castiel asks.
"Joshua from the marketing department" Gabriel grins "he always wanted to be an actor"
"I should have known when he never reappeared for our follow-up meeting" Sam shakes his head.
"Bobby you remembered to bring all the paperwork right?" Gabriel asks.
"Of course you idjit. Are we doing this or what?" Bobby asks looking at Sam.
"We're doing this" Sam says.
"Good, come on Castiel you have to stand beside me, you're my best man" Gabriel grabs Castiel's arm and drags him over beside the pool table "Deano you stand there" he points to a spot opposite were Castiel is standing "Bobby there, Ellen, Loki and Sam go stand by the door, here Jo" he reaches into his pocket and produces a box "the rings, Balthazar sit there. Think that's everything" he then stands beside Castiel, takes his phone out, puts in on the pool table and the sound of the wedding march begins.
"Ready Sam?" Ellen says to the tall man standing beside her, holding a black and white dog instead of a bouquet.
"Yes" Sam smiles and they begin the walk towards the makeshift alter, when the reach the top, Sam hands Balthazar Loki to hold.
Bobby begins the ceremony with the traditional 'we are gathered here today' and continues the sentiments all the way to the 'you may kiss the groom'.
As Sam and Gabriel kiss, the others clap enthusiastically as Loki barks. Gabriel asks Ellen to put on the jukebox and play something romantic.
The sounds of Eric Clapton singing wonderful tonight start as Gabriel takes Sam in his arms and spins him around the room "Deano you should dance with my brother as you guys never had a first dance" Gabriel says over his shoulder "and Jo likes to dance Balthazar as does Ellen, Bobby"
The four couples sway slowly to the music.
"It was a wonderful wedding" Castiel says dreamily.
"Do you ever wish we had done the traditional wedding?" Dean asks.
"We did, we had the something borrowed, something blue and the old and the new thing" Castiel kisses his husbands cheek "and you carried me over the threshold, this wedding is wonderful but ours was perfect"
"And why was that?" Dean glazes into the blue eyes of his husband.
"Because you were there" Castiel answers "and when I'm with you it's perfect"
Dean smiles at Castiel "I Love you"
"You too" Castiel laughs "hey think we just switched lines"
"As much as I love you, my family" Gabriel announces "we're about to blow this popsicle stand"
"Huh?" Sam says
"Yeah plane to catch" Gabriel continues "honeymoon to go on"
"What? Honeymoon? Now?"
"Yes Samwich, honeymoon now"
"Where are we going? What about your family? What about work? Lunch tomorrow? Loki?" Sam continues asking questions.
"Sonoma County. Castiel and Balthazar can fill them in. I told your boss I was taking you away for two weeks as a surprize, he gave you the time off, family name comes in handy sometimes" Gabriel smirks "told mom at the auction we weren't going to make lunch. And the inn we are staying at is pet friendly"
"What about clothes?" Sam asks.
"Packed your suitcase when you were having your shower earlier and put it in the limo when you were saying goodbye Loki" Gabriel's smirk turns into a full-blown smile.
"You have thought of everything" Sam says.
"Of course Samwich" Gabriel says smugly "it's what I do"
"It is" Sam smiles and says to the others "Going on my honeymoon, so bye"
"Bye Sam"
"Bye Sammy"
"It's Sam, Dean, Sam"
