The people of Port Royal were in shock to say the least. They were waiting on Elizabeth's return for Will's funeral and now the happy couple was ready to get married. Governor Swan was glad to see his daughter so happy once again. Elizabeth asked that the wedding take place in a couple of days after their return to Port Royal. She had been kept from Will long enough and in her eyes they couldn't get married fast enough.

The wedding was perfect. The Governor was so proud to walk his beautiful daughter down the aisle. She wore a beautiful silk gown that was cream colored and a light pink overlay with gold embroidered patterns of roses around the bottom and up the front of her bodice. As Will saw her, his eyes lit up with unspeakable joy. Elizabeth saw his eyes, his eyes that reflected his heart and she smiled back at him.

He looked so handsome; he wore a cream colored shirt and a dark blue jacket. Elizabeth's maid of honor was Jess, who was so happy to see this marriage finally happen. Jess wore a beautiful light blue satin dress with her hair curled up in a fancy do as Jack called it. Jack stood as Will's best man and looked very presentable dressing in a black jacket with a light blue colored shirt. Jack couldn't take his eyes off of Jess and when asked for the ring, Will had to nudge him. Everyone laughed and Jess blushed in return. After Mr. and Mrs. William Turner were presented and everyone had said their congratulations, Will snuck Elizabeth back to the smithy. He went back to his room to retrieve his wedding present for Elizabeth and started to panic. Elizabeth smiled, "Oh Will, it's back at the mansion. I found it when I was going through your things. I'm sorry – I forgot all about it. It's beautiful and I love it. Now it's time for your wedding present but we have to go back to the Pearl for you to get it so we'll have to wait until after the guests are gone." Will looked at her puzzled but he trusted her but he still was very curious.

After everyone had left except for the Turners, Jack, Jess and the Governor, Elizabeth went to talk to her father alone. After a few minutes, she came out with her father right behind her. "Take care of her Will. She's my only child and she'll always be my baby." Will looked at him and thought the Governor was having a hard time with his daughter marrying. They all left the mansion to return to the Pearl for Elizabeth to present her husband with his gift.

"Jess my dear," Jack said holding her hand as they walked, "You truly look beautiful today my love. Such a shame to waste a beautiful dress for just one wedding," Jack stopped turned to Jess and dropped to one knee, "Marry me tonight as soon as we get on the Pearl."

Jess started crying and Will and Elizabeth stood still just watching the beautiful scene enfold in front of them. "Yes Jack. I'll marry you right now." Jack picked Jess up and spun her around. The pace back to the Pearl picked up.

Back on the Pearl, Jack had arranged for the minister who married Will and Elizabeth to be there. It was a fast ceremony; Jack kept hurrying the man along. Elizabeth and Will found that they now became the matron of honor and the best man. When Jack and Jess were pronounced man and wife, Jack did not wait until he said kiss the bride. He grabbed Jess and kissed her as he picked her up and danced her around the Pearl.

Will noticed that a boat was being prepared for the minister to be taken back to shore. "Elizabeth darling, I believe it's time that we go back as well after all Jack and Jess have their wedding night to start and we have ours as well," he said with a smile.

"But Will you still have to be given your present from me."

"Yes my love but I just wanted to save the men an extra trip…"

"Will, close your eyes."

"Darling, we really…"

"Will, close your eyes."

Will saw that he was not going to win and shut his eyes. "Now hold out your hands," and Will held out his hands. Elizabeth put a key and a piece of paper in it. "OK. Open your eyes."

"It's a key and a piece of paper," Will said. Jack and Jess walked over to the pair. Jack's arm was around his new wife and he had a huge grin on his face.

"Well, read it you whelp."

Will began to read the paper and a confused look was on his face. At first he smiled then the smile quickly disappeared. "Jack, I thank you for this. I am honored that you would choose me to be your second in command but I can not leave Elizabeth to go roam the seas."

"Aw yes I see. Elizabeth," Jack calmly said.

"Speaking of Elizabeth. What does the key go to, Mrs.Turner?"

"Thought you would never ask Mr. Turner. This particular key goes to this," she said as she led him below deck. "It goes to this cabin - the cabin for the second in command and his wife."

"You would give up your life in Port Royal to live here on the Pearl?"

"I already have. When I said good-bye to my father, it was a good-bye for a while. That is why he said to take care of me. Besides our best friends are here. I know how much you long for the sea. I want us to enjoy our lives together on the Pearl where we both belong."

Will picked up Elizabeth. She squealed with delight. He kissed her passionately as Jack and Jess walked by the door on the way to their cabin. "Look mate, you have the key – shut the door and lock it."

Will and Elizabeth laughed and closed the door. As he looked around, he saw all his precious belongings. "You completely thought of everything didn't you? I love you."

The crew was given shore leave for the evening with orders not to return until the following sunset. The Pearl was indeed a happy ship once again.
