A month later, Sonya finds herself standing in Charlie's bathroom.
She checks herself one more time in the mirror, as Jamie walks in.
"You ready yet? You're gonna be late."
"Do I look good?"
"What do you think?" Sonya touches her bangs one more time, and nods, following Jamie out. Getting in a BMW, Jamie drives her off.
"You ready for this?" Sonya nods, as Jamie pulls into the parking lot of the ceremony field. Getting out, they find Charlie waiting for them.
"Now, Blade, you're sure you want me to do this?"
"Charlie, I can't think of anyone else that deserves the honor more." He smiles brightly, taking her hand. He leads her to a tent, where she finds Jax, who was also waiting.
"I can't believe you talked me into this."
"Hey, you're my best friend. I need you to do this."
"Yeah, but it's weird."
"I'm Sonya Blade, I specialize in weird."
"I'll give you this, it's never boring. You ready?"
"Yeah." Jax kisses her on the cheek, and walks off. The wedding march begins, as Charlie leads her onto the red carpet, all of the base sitting and watching. He walks her to Johnny, who's waiting at the end, adjusting his sunglasses. Raiden stands in front of the aisle.
"And who gives this woman away?"
"I do, your lordship."
"I prefer Raiden." Charlie laughs, stepping away. Sonya looks at Jax, smiling.
"Maid of Honor, Jax?"
"Don't start, Raiden." Raiden laughs.
"Greetings, all. I was there the day these two met. Young Sonya, chasing down Kano. Young Johnny, chasing down fame, and anything in a skirt. She shoved her nine millimeter under his chin, and almost blew his head off. And then it just went downhill from there. In a million years, I would have never imagined they would unite, yet, here they stand. John Carlton, do you take Sonya Blade as your lawfully wedded wife. To have and to hold, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?" Johnny gently strokes her cheek.
"I do."
"Sonya Blade, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? To love, honor, and obey . . ." Sonya looks at Raiden.
"Obey? Excuse me?" Everyone, including Johnny, cracks up.
"You have learned, Sonya. To love, honor, and cherish, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." Sonya said, gently taking his hand.
"Who has the rings?" Jamie steps forward.
"I do, TG."
"Very well. Johnny, place the ring on Sonya's finger," Johnny puts the ring on her finger, "Repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed."
"With this ring, I thee wed."
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Johnny leans in, gently kissing her, "Ladies and Gentlemen, it's my pleasure to introduce Mr. and Mrs. John Carlton-Blade." They walk together through the military salute.
"You ready yet? You're gonna be late."
