*So I decided to split the wedding into two chapters because a) It was getting kind of long, and B) I wanted to include Woody and Rosetta's dance. So one more chapter after this!*
Three months later
Woody took in a deep breath as he walked out to the back porch and looked over at the garden in Bonnie's backyard. Earlier in the month, Bonnie's mom had planted roses, calla lilies, and peonies, all of which were in full bloom. At the front of the garden, where the wedding would be, she planted sunflowers, making it the perfect backdrop for when Owen and Rosetta said their I do's. The cowboy smiled wide; Today was the day. He fixed his tie when he heard someone shout.
"Hey, looking sharp, sheriff!" Woody turned as Buzz walked over to him. Ken had lent them both dress attire. Woody wore a navy blue suit jacket with a sky blue tie as part of the wedding colors. Buzz had on just a black bow tie around his neck.
"Thanks Buzz, I like the bow tie." Buzz chuckled as he patted Woody on the back.
"How are you feeling? Nervous?"
"A bit, bu more excited than anything. My daughter is getting married today." He took a deep breath.
"No relapse, right?"
"None at all. The sickness is gone. Thank god for that, because nothing is getting in the way of getting my little girl down the aisle."
"By the way, the girls should be coming down any minute." Just as he said that, the door opened and out came the girls. First was Jessie, wearing an A line, tea length dress. The top was white lace with cab sleeves and the bottom was satin in sky blue. Bo came out behind her wearing a similar dress except the white lace on the top flowed down her skirt, which was pink instead of blue. Both men stared at them, awestruck.
"Whoa. You two look amazing." Woody said, as Bo made her way over to him and kissed his cheek. Jessie did the same and then kissed Buzz on the lips.
"If you think we look great, you should see Rosetta. Jessie said, grinning. Rose, come on out!" On cue, the door opened a third time and out stepped Rosetta, in all her bridal glory. Buzz gasped, Bo and Jessie squealed, but Woody was speechless. She was beautiful. Rosetta hugged her mom and Aunt, smiled at Buzz and then walked up to her father.
"Hi dad." She said softly. Woody looked at her and took a deep breath.
"Hey whirlwind. I guess I have to stop calling you baby girl,huh?' She laughed at that and he took her hands. "Oh sweetheart, you are absolutely stunning."
"Thanks dad." She hugged him tight.
"Alright, places everyone!" Ken shouted. Woody had asked him to plan the wedding. He kissed Rosetta's forehead.
"Alright, sweetie, I'll see you at the front, okay?" He hugged her and then went to get in his place. In the middle of the garden, two rows were made up with mini baskets of flowers lining the aisle. Bonnie's toys, Mark and Isabella's toys, toys from sunnyside and rainbow hill all stood on either side of the aisle, anxious to get a look at the bride. Trixie cued up the music and Owen walked down first. Next was Jack, Owen's best man and officiant, walking with Angelica, than Ken and Barbie, Jessie and Buzz, and than finally Bo. Jessie went to stand on the side and nodded to Trixie. She pressed a button on the laptop and a new song started to play. Jessie took a deep breath and started to sing.
Wise men say, only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you.
As she sang, Rosetta started walking through the garden and everyone looked at her, gasping in awe. Once she reached the aisle, Woody came towards her, smiling. He extended his arm and she took it. Jessie continued to sing as they began to walk and Rosetta caught Owen eyes. His hands were over his mouth, trying not to cry at how beautiful she looked. Rose smiled.
Take my hand, take my whole life too,
for I can't help, falling in love with you.
For I, I can't help, falling in love with you.
Jessie finished her song just as Woody and Rose got to the alter. Woody kissed his daughter's cheek, shook Owen's hand and placed Rosetta's into his.
"You look positively breathtaking, my dear." He whispered in her ear.
"Thank you. You look mighty fine as well, darling." He too was wearing a navy blue suit jacket with a sky blue tie. They turned to face Jack, who raised his arms.
"Ahoy friends and family, We are gathered here today to celebrate one of life's greatest moments, the joining of two this ceremony today we will witness the joining of Rosetta and Owen in we have come together to witness the joining of these two lives. For them, out of the routine of ordinary life, the extraordinary has happened. They met each other, fell in love and are finalizing it with their wedding today. Who gives this young woman to be married to this young man?"
"Her mother and I do." Woody said proudly.
"Excellent. Jack said. Now turn and face one another. Do you, Owen, welcome Rosetta as your wife, offering her your love and encouragement, your trust and respect, as you create your future together?
"I do." Owen said.
"And do you, Rosetta, welcome Owen as your husband, offering him your love and encouragement, your trust and respect, as you create your future together?"
"I do." Rosetta said.
"Owen and Rosetta have written vows for each other, so without further adieu, Owen, the floor is yours." Owen took a deep breath.
"My dearest Rosetta, I can't promise that dark clouds will never hover over our lives or that the future will bring us many rainbows. I can't promise that tomorrow will be perfect or that life will be easy. What I can promise you is from now onto forever, you have my everlasting devotion, my loyalty, my respect, and my unconditional love. I promise to always be there for you, to listen and do whatever it takes to make you happy and loved. Today, I become your husband, but also your your protector, adviser, cheerleader, friend, and your everything. This is my promise to you." Jack handed him a silver band. "With this ring, I thee wed." He slid it on her finger. Woody wiped his eyes, as did Bo, Jessie and Buzz. Rosetta wiped both her eyes and took a deep breath before taking Owen's hands again.
"Owen, since we've met, you've made me feel more complete, more alive, and have shown me the real meaning of true love. I feel more like myself around you. That's why today, in front of our friends and family, I commit myself to you, loving you as you are and not expecting more. I promise to laugh with you when times are good and comfort you when they are bad. I look forward to growing old with you and getting to know the man you will become and falling in love with you more each and every day. Today, I give you my hand, my heart, and my love without condition, completely and forever." Jessie handed her a gold band and she slid it onto his finger. "With this ring, I thee wed." Jack smiled.
"Now that Owen and Rosetta have expressed their love for one another through the promises they have made, it is my honor and privilege to pronounce them as husband and wife. Owen, you may kiss the bride." Owen pulled Rosetta towards him, cupped her face in his hands and kissed her full on the lips. "Ladies and gentle toys, may I present, Mr. and Mrs. Owen Hart!" Everyone cheered as the couple made their way back down the aisle.
* Reception will be next! After this story is done, I will not be posting for a while since I am not working on anything at the moment. I ceased on my HSM TS story I was working on because I realized it wasn't getting enough love, but I have another story in mind from a suggestion from a guest. It was about one character turning evil. But what if it was an old foe who turned said character evil and the gang had to try and talk them into turning good again? Would that be something you would like, my loyal readers? let me know in the comments!
