Here's another break-the-rules, go-over-the-word-limit chapter. Enjoy, and I hope this doesn't offend any non-Christians :) Sorry if it did!


85. Ferbella, Wedding, Romance (requested by fangirl1699)

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God. In the face of this company, to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony. An honourable estate, instituted of God, signifying unto us the mystical union that is betwixt Christ and his Church. Which holy estate Christ adorned and beautified with his presence and first miracle that he wrought in Cana of Galilee, and is commended of Saint Paul to be honourable among all men. Therefore is not by any to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly; but reverently, discreetly, advisedly, soberly, and in the fear of God. Into this holy estate these two persons, present, come now to be joined. If any man can show just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace."

Ferb and Isabella were finally getting married. Phinabella seemed no more; who would have guessed the quiet Brit and high-maintenance, cheerful girl, would get together?

"I require and charge you both, as ye will answer at the dreadful day of judgment when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed. That if either of you know any impediment, why ye may not be lawfully joined together in matrimony, ye do now confess it. For be ye well assured, that if any persons are joined together other than as God's Word doth allow, their marriage is not lawful." said the priest.

"Ferb Fletcher, wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her in sickness and in health? Forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?" the priest asked.

"I will." Ferb anxiously replied.

The priest turned to Isabella. "Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, wilt thou have this man to thy wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony? Wilt thou love him, comfort him, honour, and keep him in sickness and in health? Forsaking all others, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?"

Isabella stayed still, gazing off into space.

"Bella?" Ferb asked, worriedly.

"Bella…" said Ferb, "Wake up, Isabella."

Ripple dissolve

"If you can't find the heart to do it, I'll help."

Those words Ferb said to her on that fateful night replayed in her head.

Ferb eventually did end up helping, and that didn't go well! The events that occurred within that event mentally scarred Isabella, and, to this day, she still is; and she feels guilty.

A year later, this happened - Ferb and Isabella's wedding.

What would've happened if Phineas and Isabella had stayed together?

"Isabella, snap out of it!"

Isabella jolted up "Ahh!" she screamed, causing a few people in the crowd, mainly her closest friends, and not Phineas, nor Ferb, to snicker.

"Oh! Sorry, Father; what was the question again?"

"Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, wilt thou have this man to thy wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony? Wilt thou love him, comfort him, honour, and keep him in sickness and in health? Forsaking all others, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?" the priest repeated.

"I will."

That was five years ago, and Isabella Garcia-Shapiro-Flynn-Fletcher - my, that's quite a mouthful - just had her third child.

The End

And Phineas went on to marry Gretchen, just so you know.
