'It was so nice that you two could come over for Thanksgiving Dinner,' Marty's mom, Lorraine, told Doc and Clara. 'Are you two a little nervous about the wedding?'
'Oh, I am, a little bit,' admitted Clara. 'I mean, this will be a major events for me - to pledge to spend the rest of my life with dear Emmett Brown.'
'I still remember that day that George and I got married,' Lorraine said, beaming. 'This was the best day of my life, and I can proudly say that George and I have been happily married for over 25 years, now.'
'Yeah, and we have Calvin Klein to thank for bringing us together,' added George, smiling.
'Come to think of it,' mused Lorraine, as she glanced over at Marty, 'our son kind of does look a lot like Calvin Klein, does he?'
'Hmm, yeah, I think you're right,' said George, after thinking for a moment. 'He also looks a lot like this actor, Michael J Fox, who plays Alex on Family Ties.'
'Oh, yeah, that's right, too,' said Lorraine, smiling. 'Although, thank goodness, our Marty is not a Republican.'
'I don't think Marty even pays much attention to politics,' Doc said, smiling.
'Yeah, in a way, that's good,' replied Lorraine. 'This world would be a much better place with political conflicts, wars, and such. Besides, he's only 17 - and he should be enjoying life to the fullest.'
'I absolutely agree,' said Doc, nodding. Which is why I don't plan to take him on any time travel trips for awhile. He needs a long rest from what happened last time.
'I would take Ronald Raegan over Richard Nixon anyday,' George said, smiling, 'even if he is a Republican.'
Doc couldn't help but smile a bit at the irony of George's statement. In the 'Rich Biff' alternate reality, Richard Nixon was seeking a fifth term in 1984, and was still presumeably the US president in 1985 - and the Viet Nam war was still presumeably taking place. In that reality, George was also dead - killed by Biff in April of 1973.
'What do you find so amusing, Dr. Brown?' asked George.
'Oh, nothing, really,' replied Doc. 'I'm just so happy that, in two days, Clara will be my wife.'
'So, what are you guys doing for your honeymoon?' asked Lorraine.
'Clara and I were thinking of taking a trip to Jamaica for a week,' answered Doc. 'I can hardly wait to check out the beaches and such.'
'Well, I hope you two have fun,' said Lorraine, smiling.
'Thanks, Lorraine,' replied Doc, smiling. 'I'm positive that Clara and I will be happily married for many years to come.'
'Oh, I wouldn't doubt it,' Lorraine said, smiling. 'You two do have a certain charisma between you.'
oooooooooo
Later on, Doc and Clara were seated at the dinner table with the McFly family.
'This is really good turkey,' Clara remarked. 'It's nice and moist. The cranberry sauce is nice, too.'
'Yeah, thank you so much for inviting us,' added Doc. 'Dinner was great.'
'So, everyone,' said George. 'Why don't we go around the table, and each of us mention something we are thankful for?'
'That sounds like a good idea,' agreed Lorraine. 'I am very thankful to have a loving husband and three wonderful kids.'
'I am very thankful for all the boyfriends that I have,' said Linda.
'I am thankful to have a good well-paying job and my own office,' said Dave.
'I am thankful for the guitar talent that I have,' said Marty, 'and the fact that I'm in a band called The Pinheads. I am also thankful that I have a lovely girlfriend.'
'I am thankful to have found true love,' said Doc, smiling at Clara, 'and I am thankful that our wedding is only in two days.'
'I am so thankful to have found Emmett,' said Clara, smiling back at Doc. 'Emmett is the love of my life, and I can hardly wait to be Clara Brown.'
'Do you think you'll miss being Clara Clayton?' asked Marty.
'Well, yeah, a little bit,' replied Clara, 'but, in the end, it is just a name. I am very excited about being able to use Emmett's last name as my own.'
'So, are you guys ready for dessert, now?' asked Lorraine, cheerfully, as she got up from the table.
'Yes!' everyone replied, simultaneously.
Lorraine laughed, as she went to to get the pies.
oooooooooo
After dinner was over, Marty went with Doc and Clara back to their home.
'So you guys are going to just take a regular vacation?' asked Marty. 'You're not going to time travel?'
'Naa, I'd rather just do what other couples do on their honeymoon,' Doc said, smiling. 'That way, if others ask us about our honeymoon, then we can tell them what we did, without having to hide anything. Besides, I could use a little break from time travel myself - and this will be Clara's first major trip in this era.'
'Well, I will certainly miss you while you're on your honeymoon,' Marty said, wistfully.
'Yeah, but we'll only be gone for a week,' Doc said, hugging Marty tightly.
'Are you going to take Einstein with you?' asked Marty.
'Yeah, we might as well,' said Doc, smiling. 'This will give Einstein a nice vacation, as well.'
'I wish Jennifer and I could come with you,' said Marty.
'Well, maybe you two could plan that for your own honeymoon, someday,' suggested Doc, giving Marty a little squeeze.
'Yeah, you're right, Doc,' Marty said, sighing. 'Besides, I do have school, so...'
'That's right,' Doc said, smiling. 'Education is very important. Isn't that right, Clara?'
'Most definitely, Emmett,' Clara replied.
'Well, Marty, let's see how that tuxedo looks on you,' suggested Doc.
After Marty changed into his tuxedo, he proudly pranced around in it, as he showed himself to Doc and Clara.
'You look real handsome, Marty,' Clara said, beaming.
'Yeap, you make a great Best Man,' Doc said, smiling.
'Thanks, you two,' replied Marty, smiling.
