After Broken Steel

Three Years Later

After years of dating, the Lone Wanderer finally nutted up and proposed to his girlfriend. They were to be married in the Saint Monica Church by Father Clifford. All of their closest friends were there. Gob shut down the saloon to be Jim's best man, and Fawkes, Butch, and Billy were groomsmen. Cherry was reluctantly made maid of honor while Angela Staley, Belle Bonny, and Nova were bridesmaids. Maggie was flower girl, and Bryan was ring bearer. T-Dog even made his studio mobile to cover the wedding.

"Yo, Wastelanders! How's everyone doooing?!", he said into the mic, "we are live bringing you coverage of the Wanderer Wedding."

It took a lot of begging, but the bride and groom had agreed to let him broadcast their union. "Before the ceremony begins, lets look over our guests, shall we?", Three Dog continued, "Over here, we have several citizens of Megaton, Sherrif and Mayor Lucas Simms and his boy Hadden, next to him we got Moira, owner of Craterside supply, the Stahls, proprietors of the Brass Lantern, Lucy West, and Doc Church."

"From Rivet City", he drawled on, "there is Doc Preston, Christie and C.J. Young, Diego Lopez and his father Mr. Esteban Lopez, and Tammy and James Hargrave."

"But amongst those...err...normal citizens, we also have some celebrities here", Three Dog said, "Sara Lyons of the Brotherhood is in attendance, as well as Riley of Riley's Ranger's fame, the President of the Republic of Dave, Dave, Vance and Holly Twilight of the Family, and of course, yours truly. Oh...hang on folks looks like the ceremony is about to start".

"Dearly beloved", Father Clifford said as he stood behind his podium, "We are gathered here today to join James Williams Jr. and Vera Weatherly in holy matrimony. If anyone is opposed speak now or forever hold your tongue".

Seagrave Holmes raised his hand before having it quickly shot at by Butch.

"Excellent", the Father continued, "Now, I'm reeaaally hung over so lets get this over and done with." He turned to Vera, "Do you take this man to be your husband, to love and to cherish, to spend the best years of your life cooking and cleaning for him, and go through agonizing pain to deliver his children, for as long as you both shall live?".

"Uhh...sure?", Vera said, feeling a bit uncomftorable around the priest

"And do you, James "The Lone Wanderer" Williams Jr., take this woman to be your wife, to honor and adore, to be jerked around and bitched to by, and to spend countless caps on presents she will latter forget about and pawn when she leaves you, for as long as you both shall live?"

"Errrr...yes?", the Wanderer said, wondering what sort of demons haunted this man

"Fan -fucking-tastic, I now declare you Bitch and Bastard. Rings?", Bryan handed him the rings and he placed them on the lover's hands. "Good. You may now proceed to ruin each other's lives. God bless. I'm going to get a drink".

The happy couple, feeling very weird, promptly left the church. After a big reception, and a romantic honeymoon at Tenpenny Towers, the couple moved to Jim's house in Megaton.

Vera opened another Weatherly Hotel there, handing over management of the first one to her robot Mr. Buckingham and her nephew Bryan. Gob and Nova married a few years latter. They have 5 kids and ran the saloon together as partners. The Tunnel Snakes disbanded. Fawkes went to the Citadel, and became a scribe and Butch continued to adventure on his own, or at least he did until he got caught with Dave's wife and was nearly castrated. He later opened a barber shop in Rivet City, to be close to his Super Mutant best friend, much to the other's displeasure. Father Clifford died of alcohol poisoning during Jim and Vera's reception and was quickly tossed into the bay.

The End

That's all for this one, folks. Expect more from the "After Broken Steel" universe in the future.
