After lunch, Johnny gives the guys something to drink, his father stands up and smiles, "son, I'm going now, I think someone is waiting for me and I need to prepare myself as well," Mr. Castle says, Johnny looks at him and smiles, "okay, dad, I see you at the ceremony," Johnny says, they stand up and hug tightly, "thanks for the advice, dad," Johnny whispers, his father smiles, "you always can ask me for advice, son, I'm very proud of you," he says, Johnny nods with a smile, "see ya." Mr. Castle says and went away.

"We need to get ready as well, we've got an hour until the ceremony," Billy says, the guys nod, "I'll go and get the suits," Chris says, the suits hang up in Penny's cabin, just like the dresses were laying in her cabin as well, "I'll help you," Colin says, Chris smiles, they went to Penny's cabin to get the suits, Johnny looks in the mirror and checks his hair out, Peter is watching him a bit and smiles, "I'm sure the ceremony will be perfect," he says, Billy smiles as he's cleaning the glasses, Johnny looks at Peter and smiles, "Billy and I couldn't do it without you, Peter," Johnny says, "I did it with pleasure, because we're friends," Peter says, "I know, but you're our best friend." Johnny says with a wink, Peter only smiles, Chris and Colin came back and they got dressed.

Lisa and Penny are dressed in their bridesmaid's dress, Marge smiles as she watches them, "you both look very beautiful," Marge says, Baby is feeding junior and Jenny is in the bathroom, "is it me or is my dress tighter than when I tried it on?" Penny asks as her hands glide over her midsection, Baby looks at her with her eyebrows up, "maybe you ate too much with lunch?" Lisa asks, Penny sits down and Marge starts to do her hair, Baby is still looking at Penny and thinks, "you did eat a lot, I haven't seen you eating so much before," Baby says, Penny looks at her with a smile, "I was really hungry and talking about food makes me hungry again," Penny says, Lisa giggles about it when Jenny came back, "hmm, you sure it's not something else?" Baby asks, Penny's eyebrows went up.

"Baby, Jen, you both need to get ready now, the ceremony is in 45 minutes," Marge says as she's done with Penny's hair, Penny stands up and went to the mirror, she smiles, "it looks beautiful," Penny says, "you look very beautiful, you'll knock Chris off his feet," Jenny says and the girls giggle, "I don't have to be dressed up to make that happen," Penny says with a wink, they giggle again, Baby smiles as she can see how happy Penny is now, "I'm happy for you, Pen," Baby says, Penny looks at her and smiles as well, "I'm too, Baby, for you," Penny says as she went to Baby, they hug a little, "come, let's get you dressed up." Marge says as she takes junior, he's done drinking and is a bit sleepy, he yawns and makes some sounds.

Lisa and Penny are helping with their hair first, "here, Baby, I got the pin for your hair, the one you used at the Sheldrake last year," Penny says as she shows it, "thanks, Pen, it's perfect," Baby says as Lisa is making a knot in Baby's hair, Marge smiles as she watch them while holding junior, Penny puts it in Baby's hair and smiles, Jenny's hair is done too, "you both look very beautiful," Marge says as Lisa and Penny are doing the make-up, "thanks, mom," Baby says, "junior needs to get his suit on as well," she adds, Marge looks at junior and smiles, "he has a suit?" Marge asks, "yeah, it's in that bag," Baby says and points at the bag, Marge takes it and smiles, "I'll dress him, he needs to be cleaned and getting a new diaper as well." Marge says, Baby nods with a smile, Marge went to the bathroom.

"Put the dress on," Penny says as Baby as stands up to look in the mirror, Jenny is checking her hair and make-up out as well with a smile, "thanks, Lissy, you did a great job," Jenny says, Lisa smiles, "you look beautiful too, Baby," Jenny says and Baby smiles, "yeah, thanks, sis, now help me with the dress." Baby says as she opens the box, Penny and Lisa help them with the dresses and help them putting their shoes on as well when Marge came out of the bathroom with junior.

She sees Baby and her mouth drops, "you look like a dream, Baby," Marge nearly whispers, she never saw her daughter like this, Baby smiles as she looks at her mother and then at junior, "thanks, mom, junior looks perfect as well," Baby says when Marge came closer, she has tears in her eyes and Baby watches her, "don't cry, mom," Baby says, "I can't help it, you look so beautiful and so grown up, my youngest going to marry, I'm so proud of you," Marge says, Baby gives her mother a kiss on her cheek, and looks at her son again, "I want my son," Baby says as she takes junior from her mother, "look at him," Lisa says with a wide smile, "he's a little gentleman now," Jenny says, Marge looks at her as well, "you look perfect, Jen, the dress looks perfect on you, you'll make Billy speechless," Marge says and Jenny giggles, they hug, "thanks." Jenny says, Marge feels like a mother to Jenny, and Jenny sees her like a mother too, she never had that in her life before.

"I'm so proud of you, two of my girls going to marry," Marge says with a smile, she takes a hand from Jenny and Baby, "Lisa is still left, you know, but maybe soon," Baby says and they look at Lisa who smiles, Lisa came closer and hugs her mother, "I'll take my time first, I want to enjoy time with Colin," Lisa says, "I'm proud of you nevertheless, Lissy," Marge says, "thanks, mom," Lisa says, "be ready, dad will come in a bit, he's getting dressed and I need to get dressed as well," Marge says, the girls hug her again and she went to her cabin.

About 15 minutes before the ceremony, Marge and Jake are in their cabin, he looks at her as she's dressed in her light brown dress, "you look beautiful, Marge," Jake says and she looks at him with a smile, she looks back in the mirror and adds the finishing touch to her make-up and hair, "you look gorgeous," she says and he smiles, he takes her hands when she turns to him, "I love you," he says being a little sentimental, "I love you too, you're ready to give your youngest away?" She asks, he smiles and gives a kiss on her hands, "I am now, I'm so proud of her," he says, Marge smiles, "wait until you see her in her wedding dress, she looks perfect and so grown up." Marge says, Jake smiles when there's a knock on the door.

"Guess that's senior," Marge says, Jake walks to the door and opens it, Mr. Castle smiles as he sees Jake, "you're ready, Jake?" He asks, "I am, are you? You're gonna give Jenny away, you must be proud," Jake says as he let him in with Clarissa behind him, "yeah, I'm so proud of my son and my nephew, they're gonna be the best husbands to the girls," he says, Marge greets them as well, "we'll be going now, I need to get junior and the bridesmaids," Marge says, the men nod at her and the two women walk outside, Mr. Castle inhales deeply with a smile, Jake looks at him. "how are the things with Clarissa?" Jake asks, "great, it feels a little too good to be true, have you ever had that feeling?" He asks, Jake pats his shoulder, "yeah, when Marge and I were dating."

"Let's get the girls, I bet you're looking forward to see your daughter in her dress," Mr. Castle says, Jake smiles and nods, "I do, I'm so proud of her, of the woman she has become," Jake says and Mr. Castle smiles, "I can imagine it," he says and then thinks about his own daughter and sighs deeply, Jake sees his face, "what's the matter?" Jake asks, "I have a daughter too," he says, Jake's eyebrows went up, "you never told me," Jake says as he puts his hands in his pockets, "I know, it's been hard to talk about her, my ex-wife and I, when we divorced, it was a horrible time, not only for all the fights that happened, but also for the kids to experience it, Johnny walked away, my daughter, Zaya, she blamed everything on me and wanted to stay with her mother," Mr. Castle says as he sits down for a moment, taking a deep breath, "my ex moved to California back then and took Zaya with her," he says, "I'm so sorry to hear that," Jake says, Mr. Castle stands up again and sighs, he smiles a little at Jake, "don't be, I've always wished that she would keep in touch, but she seems to hate me for real, I've got no idea what she's doing in her life, or if she's married now and has kids," he says, "that must be a horrible thought," Jake says, "it is, but I try not to think too much about it, I want to be there for my son, I'm so happy I got him back and I'm very proud of him."

"Your son is perfect for my daughter, can you imagine that a year ago I thought he was so wrong for her, because he took her innocence away and he was poor?" Jake asks as they walk to the door, "really?" Mr. Castle asks, they haven't talked much about this, Jake isn't proud of his behavior from back then, "yeah, I mean, it was before I knew the whole story and the truth, I really thought he impregnated Penny, then had her send to some butcher and moved on to my daughter," Jake says, Mr. Castle thinks, he doesn't know the whole story, only that Penny was pregnant and got an abortion, "was she pregnant from my son?" He asks, Jake shakes his head, "no, it was from one of the waiters last year, Robbie, and Baby knew that and she helped Penny and your son, she borrowed 250 dollars from me for the abortion, she lied so Penny wouldn't get in trouble, she danced with Johnny for the Sheldrake gig, otherwise they would've lost their summer bonus and this year's gig," Jake pauses for a moment, "she never danced in her life before." He adds.

"Your daughter is really amazing, Jake," Mr. Castle says, "yeah, she's grown up, I was so amazed when I heard the truth, and I still feel guilty that I've been acting to arrogant to your son," Jake says, Mr. Castle lays his hand on Jake's shoulder as they stand still in front of the door, "you shouldn't, you didn't know at the time, and now they're going to get married and I think they're perfect for each other," Mr. Castle says on the moment Marge and Clarissa came outside, followed by Lisa and Penny, "who's perfect for each other?" Marge asks, "Baby and Johnny." Mr. Castle says with a smile as he looks at his grandson.

"Look at that, he's a little gent," he says with a smile, Jake looks at junior as well with a smile, "he's gonna steal hearts," Jake says, making the girls giggle, junior giggles and smiles as he sees his grandfathers, "we're going now," Marge says, the two men nod, they look at Lisa and Penny, "you both look beautiful," Jake says and they give him a kiss on his cheeks, so did they with Mr. Castle who chuckles about it, "see ya in a bit," Marge says, Jake gives her a kiss and a little kiss on junior's head, so did Mr. Castle, Marge walks with Lisa and Penny to the stairs, Clarissa looks at Mr. Castle with a smile, "I'll see you in a bit." He says and she gives him a kiss, she walks away, he smiles.

Jake knocks on the door, "enter," Baby says with a smile, Jake opens the door and the two walk inside, "hey, dad, senior," Baby says, Jenny smiles, Jake looks at his daughter and became speechless, then he went to her for a hug, so did Mr. Castle, they hug Jenny as well, "you both look very beautiful," Mr. Castle says, "my girl is a grown up woman now," Jake finally says and Baby smiles, "let's get going before we get the blame for being late," Mr. Castle says, Jenny giggles about it and hooks her arm with him, "thanks, senior, for wanting to give me away," Jenny says, he smiles at her, "it's my honor, Jen." He says and she gives him a kiss on his cheek.

Johnny and Billy are being nervous now, their best men brought them to the gazebo and Johnny gasps as he sees the scenery, "Peter," he starts and Peter looks at him with a smile, "you've outdone yourself," Johnny says, Billy agrees with his cousin, "it's way better than I've imagined it when you showed us the book," Billy says, "thanks, guys, I'm so happy to see you being happy," Peter says, "come, the pastor has arrived and the waiters are guiding the guests to their seats," Chris says as he sees the guests following the waiters, they walk to the porch on the gazebo where the pastor is waiting, "hello." He says as the best men shake hands with him.

"These are the grooms I presume," the pastor says with a smile as Billy and Johnny shakes hands with him, "that's us," Billy says, "you're?" The pastor asks, "I'm Billy Kostecki, and this is my cousin Johnny Castle," Billy says and points at Johnny, "alright, thanks, otherwise I might make a mistake during the ceremony," he says and the guys chuckle about it, the pastor looks at the paper he's having in his book, "so, your fiancée is Jenny Jones?" He asks, "that's correct," Billy says with a smile, "and yours is Frances Houseman?" He asks and looks at Johnny, "yeah, my one and only," Johnny says, making the pastor smile again.

Marge and Clarissa walk to the front row, Lisa and Penny went to the pastor as well, Colin and Chris look at their girls and they smile, Johnny sees Chris' face and chuckles, "don't start drooling," Johnny whispers, Chris starts to grin, Johnny looks at Penny and smiles, "you look very beautiful," he says, she went to hug him, "you look gorgeous, I'm so happy for you," she whispers and he hugs her tightly back, "I'm so happy that you're happy now, Pen," he whispers, she let him go and smiles as she looks at Chris, "he's the best I've ever had." She whispers, Johnny only smiles and gives her a kiss on her cheek, she let him go and went to give Chris a kiss, Colin went to Lisa to give her a kiss and Marge is watching them with a smile.

Johnny looks at Marge and Clarissa and then sees his son, his smile grows and went to them, "hey," he whispers, Marge smiles at him, he gives her and Clarissa a kiss on their cheek and looks back at his son, "can I have him for a bit?" He asks, "of course," Marge says and hands him junior, Johnny smiles proudly at his son, "you're gonna steal hearts today?" He whispers, the women chuckle about it, he turns and went to the guys, "will you look at that, a real gentleman," Billy says as he smiles at junior who's smiling and making baby sounds, happy to be with his father again, the pastor smiles, "is he yours?" He asks, "yeah, this is my son, junior, 2 months now," Johnny says, "he's adorable."

Johnny tickles junior's belly a little who starts to giggle about it, Johnny smiles and lifts him up into the air, junior looks at his father and giggles while having a wide smile on his face, Johnny drops his arms so he could give his son a kiss, "I love you, son," he whispers and went to Marge again, the guests are watching him with a smile, "let him behave," Johnny says as Marge takes him on her arms again, she chuckles about it, "I will," she says, "if junior is like his father and grandfather, we need to keep a close eye on him, Marge." Clarissa says teasingly and Marge laughs about it, Johnny rolls his eyes and went back to the guys.

Max walks to Peter with a smile, "Tito and his band are ready," Max says, Peter looks at him and nods, "it's time," Peter says, Max nods, "I've got a surprise for you, boy," Max says, Peter looks curious at Max now, Colin looks at Max as well as he stands next to Peter, "what surprise?" Peter asks, Max moves aside and points, Peter looks at where Max is pointing at and sees his parents, "I had no clue they would be coming," Peter nearly whispers, "I've talked with your father on the phone a few days ago, he asked me about the wedding and I told him that you've been doing everything," Max says and Peter looks at him again, getting a little scared, "I told him how great your organization skills are and also your leadership skills," Max says after a moment, Peter didn't say anything but looks at his parents again who are looking around, "he told me he wanted to see it with his own eyes, so I invited him." Max says and pats Peter's shoulder once.

"Go to your parents," Colin says and Peter looks at him, Colin smiles, Peter looks at Max who nods and then he walks to his parents, "Johnny, Billy," Max says and the two turn to look at him, they smile, "it's an honor that you both want to marry here," Max says and they shake hands with Max, "it's an honor that I can marry here," Johnny says, Max looks at him with a smile, "I've got something for the both of you, but I want to give that to you in private," Max says, "yeah?" Johnny says, "I'll give it to you next week, come by the office, both of you," Max says, "we will, sir," Billy says, Max looks at him and keeps smiling, "I'm gonna sit down now." Max says, they only nod, Max went to the front row and sits down next to Neil.

Peter looks at his parents when he's close, his father smiles, "son," he says with a nod, his mother gives him a hug, Peter hugs her back, "mom, dad, I didn't know you would come," Peter says, "I heard from Max what you've been doing, he has been praising you," his father says as he looks at Peter's face, "you really did all this?" His mother asks as she lays her hand on his cheek, "I have, I wanted to help my friends," Peter says and he starts to smile, his parents look at the grooms, "I'm happy you've got friends, son," she says, "they're the best friends I've ever had, mom," Peter says and his father smiles, "it really looks beautiful, son, I'm very proud of you," his father says, Peter looks at him and sighs a little, "you don't mind?"

"Why would I mind?" He asks, "because you want me to become an economist or something," Peter says, his father is still smiling, "I did, but I see how you've been doing all this, you've surprised me," he says, "thanks, dad, that means a lot," Peter says, "you want to do this for a living?" His father asks, "yeah, it's my dream to be a wedding and party planner, I want to start a business in it," Peter says, his father grabs him into a tight hug again, Peter feels overwhelmed but hugs his father back, "I'm sure you'll be famous for it one day," his father says as he let his son go, "I don't know what to say," Peter whispers and he starts to think, his parents look at him, "you look gorgeous," his mother says and straightens his bow tie a little, "thanks, mom," Peter says, "I need to tell you both something, but I don't know if this is the right moment, I don't want to have trouble, especially with you, dad." Peter says and looks at his father who's becoming very curious.

"What do you want to tell us, son?" He asks, Peter swallows and inhales deeply, his mother takes his hand and smiles, she has seen his anxiety, "I'm gay," Peter says after a moment, his father became a little speechless but Peter keeps looking at his father, he got so nervous that a tear escapes, his mother smiles and strokes it away, she hugs him, "I'm proud of you, son, no matter what," she whispers, Peter hugs her back, still feeling nervous for his father's reaction, "I've always known that you're different from other boys," his father says, Peter let his mother go to look at his father, "I don't want to disappoint you, dad," he whispers, "you don't," he says and Peter sees how his father starts to smile, "I'm very proud of you," his father says and grabs him into a hug again, "I always thought you hate homosexuals," Peter whispers, "I know I can come across like that, but I don't hate them," he whispers, Peter burst out in tears now, his father holds him a little tighter, "I love you, son, no matter what," his father whispers, Peter let him go and looks at his father's face while he's still crying, his father grabs his head and smiles, "I love you too, dad."

His mother gives him a tissue and Peter dries his tears, she straightens his bow tie again, "the color suits you," she says and he looks at her, "thanks, mom, dad, for accepting me for who I am," Peter whispers, she gives her son a kiss on his cheek and his father pats on his shoulder, "I'll get you two a chair, I'll make sure you can have food too," Peter says, "you don't have to do that, son," his father says, "I insist." Peter says and went to one of the waiters.
