"It's official. We are official old" Beca dramatically said to her wife and daughters.
"Care to share grandma?" Chloe asked her wife.
"I just spoke to Legacy. She and Benji are going to marry. I can't believe our first aca baby is going to get marry" she said.
"You are aware that you're not her mother?" Stacie asked her mom.
"Shut up Stace! Legacy is my first aca baby if you like it or not" she said to her daughter.
"Becs, Legacy and Benji are engaged for nearly three years" Chloe said to her wife.
"What?! Why didn't I know that? And why didn't they already got married?" she asked her wife.
"Well when Benji proposed to her three years ago she immediately said yes. But she also told him that she wouldn't get married without you" Chloe informed her wife.
Hearing that made Beca sad. It reminded her how much she had missed in the sixteen years she hadn't had any contact with the Bella's. She had missed out on so much. She had missed Fat Amy's wedding to Bumper. She had missed the birth and first years of the kids they had. She had missed Donald's and Lilly's wedding and the birth of her three kids. And their first years.
"Don't be sad about it Becs. It happened. And Legacy always had hope you would come back into our lives" Chloe said.
"It's the same reason why Bree and Stacie aren't married yet" Chloe added.
This made it worse. Her friends had put their lifes on hold because she wasn't there. Because she had abandonned her friends. Even if she was back for almost two years, it was something that she could never forgive herself.
"I know you still haven't forgave yourself. But it doesn't matter anymore. You are here now and in the end everything turned out fine."
"We are finally married. We have three beautiful daughters. And there will be an aca wedding" Chloe said.
"Talking about aca weddings. Do you think Jessica and Ashley will ever be together?" Beca asked her wife.
"I don't know. It's the most long running bet since college. Those two are perfect for each other" Chloe said.
"Yeah, they have a business together. They live together. They finish each other sentences. So maybe we can get Fat Amy involved to help them realize it" Beca said.
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Aubrey said to her sisters.
"Maybe because when aunt Amy is involved things always end bad" Chloe answered.
"What could possibly go wrong? Those two belong together. After twenty years I still don't exactly know which one is who" Beca said.
"Uhm, I don't know. Maybe aunt Amy and her gift to mess things up?" Stacie and Aubrey said in unision.
"Don't you three have any homework or something?" Beca asked her daughters.
"Actually I have a date with Midnight" Stacie said.
And she got up to get ready for her date.
"And you two?" Beca asked.
"I have some homework to do" Chloe said and left the room.
"I'm going to aunt Bree" Aubrey said.
It was the day of the wedding and Beca was a nervous wreck. It was a special day. Her first aca baby was going to get married.
Legacy wasn't any longer the clumsy baby of their group. She had grown into a beautiful young woman. A woman who was ready to take the next step in her life. And Beca couldn't be any more prouder of her and Chloe's aca child.
The Chapel was beautifully decorated. The pews were dressed with white ribbon dripping with roses and Lillies. The sun was out and shone through the stain glass windows creating rainbows through the room. Legacy and Benji really went full out. The aisle had a purple carpet sprinkled with petals. At the end was the minister and Benji both awaiting Legacy's arrival. Everyone was finally seated. I sat next to my daughters and wife. They all looked beautiful I was so lucky to have them all.
Just then the procession music played, it was "A thousand years" by Christina Perri. The chapel doors opened and in walked Legacy at the arm of her father. She looked breathtaking. She wore a white mermaid tail dress with sweetheart neckline. Her veil covering her curled updo. The lace train of her dress trailed behind her, picking up the petals from the carpet. It was a beautiful sight. As she reached the altar where Benji awaited, her father kissed her cheek and gave her over.
The minister coughed and the music stopped. The chapel was in complete silence.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and this women in holy matrimony..."
The service went on. Next the objections, there was none, then the prayer. The vows were next.
"In honor of tradition, I believe you both have prepared vows."
The pair nodded. First was Legacy.
"Benjamin Applebaum, one of the first things you said to me was 'I just wanna put you in a box and saw you in half' a reference to your intrigue in magic. Little did we know we already shared that magic. A spark ignited that day and its burning stronger than ever. Today we perform your greatest magic trick yet. This ring will never leave your finger and my heart will always be yours."
Her vows were so beautiful and personal. Even Benji cried. She put his ring on his finger and the minister nodded to Benji.
"Emily Junk, I fell in love with you from the moment I first saw you on Barden Campus. You're as beautiful now as you were back then. You are my greatest passion. My biggest desire. I can't wait to start out lives together and you have you as my wife. I love you. Always."
He put Legacy's ring on her finger and the minister smiled.
"In the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit. I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."
They shared their first married kiss and everyone cheered. Once they signed their marriage certificate they motioned us all to go outside. We stood in the grass next to the chapel. They thanked us all for coming. Legacy threw the bouquet and Jessica caught it. Chloe nudged Ashley and Jessica blushed. When we looked back up there was a box in front of Benji and Legacy. They reached down, both opened a latch and a flock of doves flew out into sky. It was magnificent. It was such a beautiful wedding.
