Albert and Sylvia Ingalls known to the world as Al and Syl Quinn the Heavenly couple. They are married by God up in Heaven but not on Earth. They're making plans and preparations to get married by Earth standards and also by the Indian Nation.
When they arrive at the Indian Nation Al and Syl come in connect with the Chief and his son the same ones that was at the honoring ceremony for Al and Syl. Al tells the Chief, "Syl and I want to get married legally on Earth and we both thought it would be nice to have our Wedding Ceremony here in your Indian Camp."
The Indian Chief agrees, "That would be great! and we would be honored. Pastor Felcher and his wife will be here in 2 weeks he can do the ceremony if that's ok with you two."
Both Al and Syl agrees to Pastor Felcher doing the Ceremony and than Syl says, "Two weeks we have alot to do to get ready. Also we would like for you to marry us by you own Indian traditions."
Al agrees, "We can have 2 ceremonies one with Pastor Felcher and the American way and the second with you the Chief of the Indians and the Indian way."
The Chief is touched by this, "It would be my honor to also do your ceremony as well. It is good that our people are united in doing this."
Al and Syl both say their goodbyes to the Chief and his son as they say, "Thank you, we will see you in 2 weeks."
The Chief nods and agrees, "2 weeks."
Al and Syl fly off towards home, Walnut Grove to tell their families and to invite them all to their Earthly Weddding.
Albert and Sylvia arrive home and land in front of Sylvia's Pa's house. After greeting her father. Sylvia breaks the announcement to her Pa, "Pa, guess what? Albert and I are getting married."
Hector is stunned by the news and also happy, "I don't know what to say. Didn't you marry in Heaven by the Lord?" Hector asks.
"Yes but we want to make it all proper down
here on Earth since we never got married on Earth," Albert answers.
Hector hugs his daughter, "I'm so happy for you both Sylvia! Congratulations! and I love you both!"
"Thank you Papa!" Sylvia says.
Hector then goes over to Albert, "Son...thanks to you I wouldn't have seen this day. When I first met you I really was against you. I wasn't myself. I guess I was overprotective of my daughter. Because of you my daughter is happy. You both have made me proud. Albert, you and Sylvia have my blessing," He says then he hugs Albert.
Sylvia smiles seeing her father hugging her husband to be on Earth.
"Thank you sir...I mean Pa. I will always love your daughter throughout all eternity. I swear it," Albert vows.
"Well come on you two love birds. We have a wedding to plan," Hector says.
Albert and Sylvia smile.
That evening Hector Webb along with his daughter and son in law have supper at the Wilder's Boarding House with the Wilders and the Ingalls. Albert and Sylvia tells their whole family about their wedding plans.
Laura Wilder says, "Albert my brother and Sylvia my sister in Law we all happy for you to be offically married on Earth."
All the family agrees as they congratulate Albert and Sylvia.
Sylvia mentions, "The wedding can only be held and attended strictly by family and certain friends."
Albert adds, "The wedding will be taking place on the Indian Nation Lands. No worries the Chief will protect you. When we reach the Indian Nation the Chief will have his Braves escort you to their village."
Hector Webb, the Wilders and Ingalls all agree to the plans of having the wedding at the Indian Nation.
Caroline and Laura says as they give Sylvia a hug, "We can make you a wedding dress."
Sylvia smiles and gives them a hug back, "Oh thank you that would be great."
They immediately start right on it during the two weeks they have managed to get her dress completely done. The dress is very beautiful! complete with a veil it is matched with yellow flowers and a long long white train.
As the two weeks pass by Albert and Sylvia are also busy planning for their wedding as they visit Reverend Alden and request that he and his wife attend the ceremony although they tell them, "Reverend and Mrs. Anna Alden we are having Pastor Fletcher do the ceremony because we helped them so many months ago when they were attacked by the Indians on their wagon train."
Reverend Alden and his wife Anna both agree by saying, "Yes that is a wonderful idea and we both would be honored to attend the wedding.
As the wedding arrangements are being made Albert and Sylvia are able to keep up with their duties of patrolling the frontier. During that time they decide to make a stop in the State of Nevada going back to the Ponderosa Ranch the largest spread of land on Earth owned by Ben Cartwright. Albert and Sylvia sees the beautiful area of Lake Tahoe and a little cabin by the lake.
Syl and Al are talking with Ben and his sons in the Dining Room, "Mr. Cartwright Syl and I are getting married next week and we hoping we could use your beautiful land by Lake Tahoe for our Honeymoon if it's ok with you?"
"Of course you can have your Honeymoon on Lake Tahoe on our Ponderosa, it's our way of repaying you both for saving us," Ben says, "Congratulations on your upcoming marriage."
"Thank you," Al says.
"Thank you also," Syl says.
Ben then continues to say, "You are welcome and oh I forgot to mention we also have a boat that you both can use to go out on the lake."
"That sounds wonderful," Syl says.
Hoss says "I don't think we would have made it through with those so called gaurds and Judge if you two don't come by at the right moment, thank you! Ma'am I would also like to ask a question how did you know about us especially my name?"
Syl answers, "We heard about your family on our journeys of helping folks you are greatly known across the land just like we are."
"Yes, and Little Joe you almost look like one of my relatives," Al mentions, "You and my Pa, Charles Ingalls look so similar that you could be brothers."
"Wow that's astounding you must have a handsome Pa," Joe says as he chuckles a little.
Everyone else also chuckles at Little Joe's comment.
After the group regains control over their laughter Adam says, "I think we can have the Cabin by the lake ready for you by the time your Honeymoon starts and we also have a boat you can use on the lake. Mr. Quinn I think you and your miss will have a wonderful Honeymoon at the Ponderosa."
Ben gets up from his chair as Al is getting up from his and they shake hands, "Thank you again Mr. Cartwright sir," Al says.
"My pleasure son," Ben replies back.
"Well Syl. Let's get back on patrol," Al says.
"Ok Al," Syl replies as the couple begin to leave.
The couple exit the house and Ben and his sons follow.
Al and Syl wave goodbye to the Cartwrights and the Cartwrights wave back and they take off into the air. Ben, Little Joe, Hoss, and Adam are suprised, "Wow! I wish I could do that," Hoss says.
"Whoever, give them their powers is something. It must have been God who did," Little Joe mentions.
"Yes, God does amazing things," Ben says, "Remember, he sent a Reverend to help keep two children together, remember?"
"Yeah Pa, I remember that," Hoss replied.
"Well let's get back to work we have to get that cabin ready too," Ben says.
The Cartwrights go back into the house.
Albert and Sylvia arrive back home and the following week is filled with wedding preparations.
