Later that month Bitalo visited Torvald at her and Sticky's house. They both were missing Minty a little, but were mostly happy for her.
"Hey Torvald, I have a surprise for you." Bitalo said once he stepped inside.
"Really? What is it?" Torvald grinned, obviously loving surprises.
"Check it out." Bitalo handed her a couple of tickets.
Torvald read the tickets and dropped her mouth open.
"Bungee jumping?" She gasped happily before looking unsure. "Are you sure Bitalo? I never took you bungee jumping for a reason."
"I think I can handle it as long as I'm with you." Bitalo smiled.
Torvald paused for a moment, and then smiled back.
"Okay." She said. "Thank you, how did you know that I've been wanting to try bungee jumping?"
"I saw those brochures on your desk." Bitalo smirked.
"Oh yeah..." Torvald chuckled sheepishly. "I keep forgetting to put those away."
Bitalo and Torvald left not long after that. Bitalo had to admit that his heart was pounding the moment he was attached to the bungee cord, but he just took a deep breath and held Torvald's hand. Just holding her hand calmed him down quite a bit.
They then jumped. Bitalo was terrified at first but once he heard Torvald laugh with delight he couldn't help but grin. He was glad that he was able to make her that happy. And once the first time was over he had to admit that it was kinda fun. He and Torvald went a few more times before taking a break.
"Thank you Bitalo, I had a wonderful time." Torvald grinned.
"I had a pretty good time myself...once the first time was over with." Bitalo admitted.
"I'm glad. I'm also glad we ended up together." Torvald smiled.
"Same here. I love you so much."
"I love you too."
They both snuck something out of their pockets as they gazed at each other.
"I've been wondering..." Torvald said.
"Heh, I've also been wondering..." Bitalo chuckled.
They both held out what they snuck out towards each other.
"Will you marry me?" They both asked.
They then dropped their mouths open and their eyes bugged out. They then glanced at each other's rings. Torvald's ring for Bitalo was a plain gold band. Bitalo's ring for Torvald was also gold complete with a round yellow sapphire.
"Hold on, Torvald why are you proposing?" Bitalo asked.
"Uh...well I'm a little more independent than most girls so I thought 'why should the guy propose?'..." Torvald said awkwardly.
"And you thought I'd be to scared to propose instead." Bitalo frowned slightly.
"I didn't say that..." Torvald said weakly.
"Honestly Torvald, you were the one who made me braver than I was in the past so you of all people should know not to underestimate me!" Bitalo started to get mad. "And don't tell me you underestimate yourself that much either!"
"I...I...I didn't mean...I mean I..." Torvald stammered apologetically, upset that she had hurt him.
"I don't believe you, of all the insulting..." Bitalo then stopped upon seeing how scared Tovald was; he smirked. "But lucky for you I could never stop loving you. Of course I'll marry you you golden grim reaper."
"Oh...you actually scared me I thought..." Torvald sighed with relief.
"Never." Bitalo then smiled gently. "Nothing will ever make me stop loving you. You may be a golden grim reaper...but you're my golden grim reaper and I wouldn't change that for anything."
Torvald smiled, and slipped her ring for him on his finger. Bitalo then slipped his ring for her on her finger, and they both kissed.
Everyone was happy for them, mostly Sourward and Torvald's sisters, and the preparations began.
The wedding was going to be mostly traditional, except Bitalo wanted it near his family's bee farm.
"I'd like our bees to be able to watch the wedding too." He explained.
"It's fine with me." Torvald smiled. "I mean after all I had bee-friended them too."
"Very funny." Bitalo smirked.
Sourward, obviously, was to be the best man while Torvald's sisters were to be the maids of honor. Sticky went with her light-blue dress and Minty picked a pale green one.
The wedding day arrived. After everyone else was ready Torvald walked down the aisle wearing the traditional dress, much to the surprise of most. The sash she wore was gold, as was the simple tiara on her head. She didn't want to use real flowers because of the bees, so she had made a bouquet of fake golden flowers instead. Not too much later, Bitalo and Torvald became husband and wife.
And during the reception this song played during the bride and groom dance:
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
Oh the morning sun in all it's glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
And you fill my life with laughter
You can make it better
Ease my troubles that's what you do
There's a love that's divine
And it's yours and it's mine
Like the sun at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray to the one
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
There's a love that's divine
And it's yours and it's mine
And it shines like the sun
At the end of the day we will give thanks
And pray to the one
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
Take away my sadness
Fill my life with gladness
Ease my troubles that's what you do
Fill my life with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles that's what you do.
After the reception Torvald moved in with Bitalo's family. Bitalo was to inherit the bee farm so he wanted to stay on the farm. His parents, respecting Bitalo and Torvald's privacy, had a new house built for themselves behind the farm so that Bitalo and Torvald could have the main house all to themselves. Their first night was as sweet as honey.
