Days later, around the end of August, Gloyd and Jubileena were having their usual outing of pulling pranks on others. They ended the day by waiting for the stars to come out, and then Gloyd took Jubileena back to his house for a late dinner. At the end of dinner Gloyd left and came back with a can of nuts.
"How about a little after-dinner snack?" He suggested.
"Well, I'm kinda full but we can at least set them out for later." Jubileena smiled.
She then took the can and opened it...and snakes popped out. She let out a startled cry, and then recovered and laughed.
"Nice move putting the snakes in an actual nut can instead of one of those fake ones." She laughed.
"Well I know you're too smart to fall for the fake one." Gloyd chuckled.
Jubileena laughed a bit longer, then calmed down and got onto her knees to help Gloyd pick up the snakes...when she caught a flash of something. She picked it up and blushed upon seeing that it was a ruby princess-cut ring on a gold band.
"Gloyd...is this what I think it is?" She said.
"If you're thinking it's an engagement ring...then yes." Gloyd smiled, taking her hands. "You are more than my prank partner you know, you're my true love. And I would love to also have you as my wife."
Jubileena grinned.
"I'd love to marry you." She said. "Living a life with you would be exciting, the kind of exciting I've always dreamed of having in my future."
Gloyd grinned happily, and slipped the ring on her finger. They then kissed.
Everyone was happy for them when they found out, mostly Citrusella. Though her sister's upcoming wedding did make her think about whether Sourward would ever propose to her or not...
Again Gloyd and Jubileena had a traditional wedding, with Citrusella as the maid of honor in this case. This time Gloyd, Rancis, and Swizzle were allowed to wear their hats since Jubileena didn't mind at all. Jubileena wore a red sash on her dress and red roses lined the top of her train. Her bouquet was red roses and pumpkin flowers.
However the reception was different. It couldn't even be called a reception because it was a party. Gloyd and Jubileena specifically requested to Candlehead to make the reception more like a party, which she was only too happy to do. Guests popped confetti, opened crackers containing silly prizes, kept wary eyes out for pranks, played some games, and danced. There was only one slow dance too, the one that normally was for the bride and groom only. However Gloyd and Jubileena allowed all couples, and couples only, to join them. This song, which Jubileena had picked out, played during the dance:
Oh my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
As time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love
To me
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea
To the sea
To the open arms
Of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
"Wait for me, wait for me"
I'll be coming home
Wait for me.
Oh my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And I know that time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love
To me
To…..
Ooooooooooh.
After the reception Gloyd and Jubileena moved into their new home. The bottom half had been based on a cherry, while the top half had been based on the top half of a pumpkin. The chimney was a red and orange striped candy corn. They spent the night in each other's arms...after Jubileena made Gloyd promise not to wear a hand buzzer to bed.
