I can't believe this moment has come...it has been a year since I told him that I was in love with him...and now I'm in a chapel...waiting to walk down the aisle and become his husband. We just graduated from Bullworth a month ago...maybe that's why our friends are here...waiting for the best day of my and his life to happen. My tux actually fits well...I was worried a bit that it would be too tight and make me feel even more nervous than I already am. *sigh* I shouldn't be so nervous! Maybe it's because I'm afraid that something's gonna happen to us whenever we actually are married and cause us to break up....but I know that nothing will. If we weren't meant to be, something would've told us that already. Oh shit, it's starting!!
As the organ began to play, everybody in the chapel looked in the middle of the aisle to see little Karen from Bullworth lightly throwing rice onto the aisle. Whenever she had reached the end, she sat down in the front row with Peanut's father. Soon following were the bridesmaids in the order of: Christy and Angie, Jimmy and Norton, Bif and Derby, Trent and Kirby, Ms. Phillips and Mr. Galloway, and Ricky and Vance. Once they were all in position in the front of the audience, the music stopped playing.
Suddenly, the organ began to play the very familiar tune as everybody stood up from their seats. Suddenly, from the back of the church, Peanut came walking out, grasping a red-rosed bouquet in both hands. His mother had her arm wrapped around his left arm. Peanut couldn't stop looking at the man of his dreams, standing right in front of him at the alter, watching him with slightly tear-filled eyes and a large smile.
I can't believe this day is here...and to think that if I never came to terms with myself a year ago, I wouldn't be here right now...watching the most amazing guy ever walking towards me...ready to get married to me. I love him so much. He's saved my life in many different ways. One, I nearly lost my mind thinking I was somebody I wasn't and secondly...I almost died. But, he saved me...I'm glad, too. Because if I had died that day, I wouldn't be here today...and I'd be suffering in hell because it isn't heaven unless Larry's there. This day really is the best day of my life...
Johnny, barely being able to look away from Peanut walking towards him, noticed something that he would've never thought he'd see: his mom and dad were in the back row, attending their son's wedding. He didn't have any memories of them that didn't involve them beating the shit out of him...until now. Johnny smiled at his parents to show them that he was grateful that they showed up. Then, if Johnny had seen right, his father smiled at him and his mother gave him a thumbs up.
Johnny returned the gesture to his parents. Whenever Peanut and his mother arrived at the alter, Hal, who was Johnny's best man, smiled at him. Both of the boys' tuxes matched, so all of the smaller children in the chapel had a difficult time remembering who was who. Everybody sat down as the music stopped yet again.
The elderly priest smiled at the couple. "Ah hem. Well, I can honestly say that I've never exactly wedded two men before, but I'll give it a shot. *cough* We are gathered here today to join these two souls in the ties of love and matrimony. Today, we see the love that's ignited between these two men in their own devotion towards one another....erm..". He flipped through several pages of his bible, assuring everyone that this was his first time ever marrying two men. He closed his bible.
"Please forgive me, but we don't seem to have a valid script for same-sex marriages. We're too used heterosexual couples and....well...I just don't know how to con-". "Show the slideshow!". The elderly man looked at Mr. Galloway, nodding to his idea. "Yes, yes, of course!".
Right as the man headed for the laptop/projector, Jimmy spoke up. "Wait sir! You still have turn on the radio!". "Wha..? OH! Oh yes, of course! God...I'm slipping more and more into senility each and everyday, I swear". The elderly man continued to mumble to himself as he headed for the radio.
Johnny looked over at his groom-to-be and lightly whispered, "You look gorgeous". Peanut let out a nervous chuckle and simply replied with, "Heh..thanks. So do you". "Ah HA! I have got it on!". Even though the elderly priest had successfully gotten the radio turned on, the song that came on wasn't exactly something anybody had expected.
"Ah'm, Ah'm, Ah'm
Ah'm, Gonna Facking, Cam"
The priest, bless his soul, nearly hurt himself trying to beat the shit out of the radio. Anything to stop that infernal racket. He then opened the lid to the device and saw that there was a white CD with the words "Congratulations, Fags!" written in permanent marker. The priest scratched his head.
"Congratulations.....fags?". Jimmy and Norton started to snicker, which caused all of the greasers, including Johnny and Peanut, to burst in laughter. They all saw the humor in the prank. The elderly man didn't know what the hell a "fag" was.
Once the laughter stopped, Norton looked at the priest and said, "I'm sorry for Jimmy. The song is on the laptop, with the slideshow". The man nodded and motioned for somebody to dim the lights, which was successfully commanded. Once he turned the projector, he clicked the "start" button. This successfully started the show.
It was a beautifully made slideshow. The pictures were either pictures of the two whenever they were younger or photos taken together while they were dating. Even the song fit well with the occasion. Whether the song was about weddings was beyond Johnny and Peanut, but it still brought tears to their eyes.
"let's dance in style, lets dance for a while
heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
hoping for the best but expecting the worst
are you going to drop the bomb or not?
let us die young or let us live forever
we don't have the power but we never say never
sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
the music's for the sad men
can you imagine when this race is won
turn our golden faces into the sun
praising our leaders we're getting in tune
the music's played by the madmen
forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever young
some are like water, some are like the heat
some are a melody and some are the beat
sooner or later they all will be gone
why don't they stay young
it's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
youth is like diamonds in the sun
and diamonds are forever
so many adventures couldn't happen today
so many songs we forgot to play
so many dreams are swinging out of the blue
we let them come true
forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever"
Whenever show ended, the lights came back on. Peanut had grabbed hold of Johnny and had him in a tight hug during the show without even realizing it. Of course, Johnny didn't mind. In fact, he kissed him on the cheek whenever it was over.
Eventually, Peanut had to let go of him so that the ceremony could continue. The elderly priest smiled and continued. "Do you take Larry Romano as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?". Johnny smiled and let of an excited chuckle while answering with, " I do".
The elder faced Peanut. "Do you take Johnny Vincent as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?". Peanut's smiled brightened the room. "I do".
Now facing Hal, the man requested that Hal bring out the rings. He searched his pockets, hoping that he didn't forget them at home. The search lasted about a minute before he found them. This brought a smile upon the priest and the two greasers.
The elderly priest turned his attention to Johnny. "Now, repeat after me while sliding the ring onto his right index finger: I take this ring as a sign of my love and faithfulness in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit". Johnny gently slid the ring onto Peanut's finger as he repeated the said words. Now the man turned to Peanut.
"Now, you repeat after me while sliding the ring onto his left index finger: I take this ring as a sign of my love and faithfulness in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit". Peanut repeated Johnny's procedure, only with his left hand instead of right. The man smiled at the two boys. "I now pronounce you husbands. You may kiss the groom".
Everyone nearly jumped out of their seats cheering upon seeing Johnny passionately kissing his new husband. Once the kiss was broken, Johnny grabbed Peanut's hand and the two ran down the aisle, anxious to get away from the roaring crowd. They had made it to Johnny's stolen police bike before everyone demanded that Peanut threw the bouquet. Peanut decided to accept and turned his back to the crowd.
He counted to three and gently tossed the bouquet into the crowd of mad people (mainly women) trying to see who was the next to get married. Ironically, Bif Taylor caught the bouquet. Once he noticed this, he turned to Derby Harrington and smacked a large kiss on him. Johnny and Peanut laughed and clapped at Bif's success.
Once that was done, Johnny hopped aboard his illegal ride and Peanut quickly hopped on behind him, tightly wrapping his arms around him. The two raced off, leaving the whirlwind of excitement behind them for now...at least until they returned from their honeymoon. But, all that mattered now was that they were finally free and able to be together as long as they wanted. It just goes to show that Ms. Phillip's advice to Peanut was true: Anything Can Happen As Long As You Believe In The Unknown.
Johnny & Larry Vincent
Married January 5, 2009
-----------------------------------------------------------------
LAST "PLEASE READ ME" NOTES:
Wah.....that's the end. =( *sniffles* I don't know if Forever Young by Alphaville would exactly go with this, but it sure seems like it would. And now, I know that I am completely incapable of calling Peanut "Peanut Romano". I now have to either refer to him as either "Larry Romano", "Larry", "Peanut" or (thanks to this chapter) "Larry Vincent". ^^ Even though it almost humanly impossible for two men to have children, I still wonder what their kid would look like. Hmmmmm.....there IS such thing as surrogate motherhood (where the two men donate sperm and then they inject it into the surrogate mother)....*evil smile* Fellow people of , I'm gonna write a fic one day based around the daughter of these two. Not sure when I'll do it, but I will. In fact, I already have a fic on bully bl that has mentions of their child, but the fic isn't based on that (It's a Jimmy/Petey fic, but it isn't finished yet. I'll post it on here whenever it's done. =D) I absolutely loved writing this fic. But of course, all stories have to end at some point, the writers just get to decide whether or not it will be a happy ending of not. And the Johnny/Peanut fics that end with Peanut being heartbroken.......I don't think so. Whenever I write Johnny/Peanut fics, I always have to have them together by the end of the fic. Also, another thing I've noticed, I can't stand making Johnny straight or bisexual in ANY of my fics that involve him. I dunno why, I just have to have him depicted as a badass homo greasy. 3 *cough Lola can die in a fire cough*. XD lol. Well anyway, enough of my end of fic babble, I'd like to thank EvilChick101 for keeping up with this fic (you're awesome!! 3 *if this comes up as just a three, it was supposed to be a heart. =D), EuphoriaXigbar for the fave (=D 3 (same thing with the heart thingy)!), and anyone one else that's kept up with the greasy love. =) And any last minute comments on how the story was overall would be very appreciated! And....I DEFINATELY plan on writing some more J/P fics in the near future (as well as some other pairings). I love you all! GOOD NIGHT! *wonders away forever in the dark abyss*
Just kidding! I'm still here! *avoids getting attacked by flying rocks* XD
