After a considerable amount of traveling, Bob and Larry FINALLY docked in Oahu…and Larry knocked over a number of boats.
"…whoops." Larry spoke, then looked off the side of the Barbara Manatee. "SORRY!!" He yelled to a bunch of angry vegetables.
Wouldn't you know it, Junior just so happened to be walking down the docks with Laura when they both noticed Bob and Larry's arrival.
"BOB?! L-LARRY?!" Junior exclaimed, rushing over to greet the tomato and cucumber.

And so, after getting checked into the hotel, getting a very sunburnt Bob some sunscreen, and getting some new suits for the occasion (Larry opted to get a bow tie made from traditional Hawaiian kapa fabric), Junior wanted to talk with Bob.
"Mister Bob," Junior spoke, "To be honest I'm a bit nervous."
"Nervous, what do you have to be nervous over?" Bob asked.
"I mean, I'm marrying my childhood friend." Junior spoke. "What if it's not meant to be?"
"Oh Junior, of course it's meant to be." Bob replied. "Remember when you asked Laura's father for her hand in marriage? That takes real commitment. That's you showing God that you want to be with her forever. With God by your side, you shouldn't let some jitters like that ruin the whole beautiful, glorious experience of marriage. It's like the first episode says—"
"God is bigger than the boogie man." Junior replied, chuckling a bit at the memory of his five-year old self singing that with Bob and Larry. "You're right."

The wedding took place in the late afternoon. It was on the beach, with the pastor (a pineapple, how appropriate) at the front of the hundreds of seats. Junior's folks were seated to the left at the front, and Laura's folks were seated at the right near the front. Behind them were the entire Veggietales cast, Pa Grape, Mr. Lunt, Archibald, Lovey, you name it, they were there.
("Wedding March" plays)
Junior abs Laura slowly walked down the beach aisle. Laura wore a white dress and a lei, Junior wore a tuxedo with a lei around his neck as well.
Then the bridesmaids came. All four women (Annie, Madame, Petunia) were wearing matching dresses as cerulean as the sea the wedding took place next to, and all of them carried bouquets of hibiscus flowers.
"Oh man this is so friggin' SWEET!" Libby exclaimed as she walked down the aisles with them (Junior was having second thoughts about making his now-20 year old sister one of the bridesmaids).
"Dearly beloved." The pastor spoke. "We are gathered here today, on the gorgeous state of Hawaii to celebrate the wedding of Daniel Phillip Asparagus, Junior, and Laura Kristen Carrot. These two have known each other for quite some time, and it's because of that bond that they now wish to get married in the eyes of God. What was once childhood friendship has grown stronger thanks to our Lord, and as such, they would like to state their vows they have written."
"Laura..." Junior spoke, walking over to the carrot. "You have made me the happiest asparagus I have ever been. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to be with you, to grow old together, because I really do. I want to continue this part of the long journey of our lives, because you make it truly memorable."
"Junior, I love you as well. I always have, from the moment we first laid eyes on each other." Laura stopped to remove the black mascara now dripping from her face, then continued. "You are everything anyone could ever desire in a husband, you don't just have good looks, but intelligence, bravery, kindness. At times we might argue or have disagreements, but I could never stay angry at you. We might not be the most perfect couple, but to God, we truly are."
There was not a dry eye in the house. Junior's father burst into tears, his mother consoled him. Bob and Larry looked at each other, both smiling, tears streaming down their faces.
"Well..." the pastor ceased his joyous tears. "By the power vested in me, by the power vested in God, and the state of Hawaii, I now pronounce you Man and Wife. You may now kiss the bride!"
Everyone cheered as Junior slowly gave Laura a kiss, then Laura smiled and dipped him, smooching him right back.
