Chapter 11

The next several weeks were extremely busy for everyone. Why? Wedding plans. Lenny and Kylie wanted to be married as soon as possible, but they wanted their wedding to be all but small. They both agreed that they wanted a real wedding, as opposed to a ten-minute ceremony in a small chapel with only Kylie's family watching. They wanted to have the wedding of the year in the ship's church room with all their friends there. But they didn't want it to be too traditional. They wanted their wedding to be romantic but also musical, colorful, and fun for everyone who attended.

Dustin would be Lenny's best man. Kurtis would, of course, be swimming Kylie down the aisle and giving her away. Kylie's sisters, in addition to being the bridesmaids, helped plan the wedding using their creative minds. Kandice was put in charge of the band since she had many friends who played just about every instrument known to man (or shark). Kimmy, though now being twelve, was in charge of what the bridesmaids, and believe it or not the bride herself, would be wearing. Since they obviously couldn't wear dresses, Kimmy decided to design headbands for all the girls. Each headband was unique in color and decorated with small diamonds and a large carnation at the left side. In addition to the headbands, each girl would wear a matching beaded necklace. Kimmy made each of the girls' accessories a different color depending on what they typically wore. Kandice's accessories were green, Kayla's were blue, Karissa's were pink, Katrina's were black (with a red carnation), Kelsey's were orange, and Kimmy's were multicolored. Each bridesmaid would also be holding a bouquet of blue carnations as they made their way down the aisle singing. That's right, singing. Kylie's whole family would be singing "Marry You (Glee Cast Version)" as they went down the aisle. And luckily, every one of them could sing. At the reception, which would be in the dining room, Lenny and Kylie would be displaying their own vocal skills in a duet with Kylie's sisters singing backup. This was truly going to be a wedding no one would forget. And just to avoid any drama on their special day, Nathan and his despicable family would not be attending.

After weeks of planning, the big day finally arrived. Lenny was examining himself in the mirror in his bedroom, making sure his bowtie was on straight. He was also practicing his smile. He hadn't seen Kylie all day because it was bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony. He was positive she would look more beautiful than he'd ever seen her and he didn't want to make a weird face when his bride looked so stunning. As he practiced his smile, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

Still looking in the mirror, Lenny saw the door open and Dustin's reflection enter the room.

"Hey, Buddy," Dustin greeted him with a big smile. "You psyched for the big moment?"

Lenny sighed. "You can't even imagine. I'm about to be married to the most awesome and beautiful girl in the shape of a great white."

Dustin chuckled. "I'm not really sure how respond to that seeing as she's my cousin. But regardless, I'm really happy for you both."

"Thanks," said Lenny. "And thanks for being my best man."

"No problem," said Dustin. "Oh and before we go out there and do this thing, I have something to ask you."

"Shoot."

"Would you happen to be familiar with this lovely couple?" Dustin asked, gesturing to the door.

Lenny looked to the door and could not believe who was there. "Oscar? Angie?"

"Ya see, Ang? I told ya he'd remember us," Oscar said to Angie. "Lenny, man, how's it hangin'?"

Lenny swam up to Oscar and the two old friends gave each other a high fin.

"I figured you'd know them," said Dustin. "They showed up about half-an-hour ago and wanted to know where you were."

"What are you guys doin' here?" Lenny asked happily.

"A little birdie told us you were getting married," replied Angie.

"How'd you find out?" Lenny asked in a surprised tone.

"After you left, Angie and I started to worry about you," Oscar explained. "We wanted to make sure you were alright, so Sykes sent Bernie and Ernie out to find ya. It took a kinda long time, but eventually they found ya here."

"Then how come I never saw them?" Lenny asked.

"We told them to keep out of sight," said Angie. "That way if we ever came to visit you, it'd be a surprise."

"Well, ya did a great job then," said Lenny. "You know you came to visit me on my wedding day?"

"Course we do," said Oscar. "We're here for the wedding."

"But you guys don't have invitations."

"They won't need them," said Dustin. "We can easily fit two more fish into the church room."

Lenny smiled. "Dustin, you're the best."

"It's no trouble," said Dustin. "Now I'll leave you three alone to catch up. But don't be too long, the ceremony starts in twenty minutes."

"We'll be there," said Lenny.

Dustin left the room and the three old friends continued to socialize.

"So, Lenny," said Angie. "Dustin told us you're big stuff around here."

"Well… a little," Lenny said, trying not to gloat. "He and I are co-presidents of a lost and found organization that helps kids. No biggy."

"Uh, huge-y," said Oscar. "We thought you'd be livin' under a rock in some wasteland somewhere. This is a complete contrary."

"Yeah, well enough about me. What've you guys been up to?"

Oscar smiled. "Why don't ya take a look at Angie's finger and tell me?"

Angie held up her fin and showed Lenny a magnificent wedding ring. "Can you believe Oscar picked it out?" she asked.

"You guys are married too?"

"And there's more," Oscar winked. "Tell 'im, Ang."

"I'm pregnant!" Angie squealed.

"Whoa," said Lenny. "If the marriage part wasn't surprisin', that part sure was."

Angie proudly rubbed her stomach. "We found out about a month ago," she said happily.

"Can ya believe it, Len?" said Oscar. "I'm gonna be a daddy!"

"That is awesome," said Lenny. "Are you guys still working at the Wash?"

"Work at it?" asked Oscar. "I'm its manager."

"And I resigned when I found out about the baby," said Angie. "We can't both be working if we're going to have a baby."

"You plannin' to have kids, Lenny?" Oscar asked.

Lenny thought for a second. "Honestly, Kylie and I haven't put much thought into…"

"Oh yeah!" Oscar interrupted. "Tell us about your bride!"

"Yeah, we're dying to meet her," said Angie.

Lenny looked at his clock and said, "Well I don't really have time right now, but I'll introduce her to you guys at the reception."

"Fair enough," said Oscar. "But at least tell me she's fine."

Lenny chuckled. "Okay, you remember that girl that made out with when you were the Shark Slayer?"

Angie gagged.

"Don't talk about L-O-L-A in fronta Angie," Oscar whispered. "But yeah, go on."

"Well, multiply her by ten, and she still won't be better lookin' than Kylie," Lenny continued.

Oscar's eyes widened. "You serious?"

Lenny nodded.

"Dude!"

At last it was time for the ceremony. The large church room, beautifully decorated with blue and white, was packed with sharks and fish alike. Dustin had managed to get Oscar and Angie a place to sit on the groom's side. Every guest was seated. The big moment was about to happen. Everyone fell silent when the band started to play.

Band plays "Marry You (Glee Cast Version)"

As the music began, Kurtis entered the room and started singing as he swam down the aisle.

Kurtis: "It's a beautiful night, we're lookin' for somethin' dumb to do,

Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you."

Kara enters: "Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice?

Who cares, Baby? I think I wanna marry you."

Kandice enters: "Well I know this little chapel on the boulevard we can go, no one will know."

Kurtis: "Oh c'mon, Girl."

Kandice: "Who cares if we're trashed? Gotta pocket full of cash, we can blow. Shots of patron."

Kurtis: "And it's on, Girl."

Kurtis and Kandice: "Don't say no, no, no, no, no,

Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

And we'll go, go, go, go, go."

Kurtis: "If you're ready, like I'm ready!"

Kayla enters: "'Cause it's a beautiful night, we're lookin' for somethin' dumb to do,

Hey Baby, I think I wanna marry you."

Karissa and Katrina enter, dancing with ribbons: "Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice?

Who cares, Baby? I think I wanna marry you."

Kurtis: "I'll go get a ring."

Kelsey enters: "Let the choir bells sing, like ooooh. So whatcha wanna do?"

Kurtis: "Let's just run, Girl.

If we wake up and we wanna break up,"

(Kimmy enters and joins in) "That's cool, no I won't blame you."

Kurtis: "It was fun, Girl."

Whole family: "Don't say no, no, no, no, no,

Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

And we'll go, go, go, go, go."

Kurtis: "If you're ready, like I'm ready!"

Whole family: "'Cause it's a beautiful night, we're lookin' for somethin' dumb to do,

Hey Baby, I think I wanna marry you."

At this point, Kurtis sat Kara down in the very front row.

Girls: "Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice?

Who cares, Baby? I think I wanna marry you!"

Then Lenny entered the room dancing to the music as he made his way down the aisle. All eyes were on him as he did so.

Girls: "Just say I doooo."

Kandice: "Tell me right now, Baby!"

Kimmy: "Tell me right now, Baby!"

Kelsey: "Baby!"

By now, Lenny was at the alter with the girls on both sides of him.

Girls: "Just say I doooo!"

Kayla: "Tell me right now, Baby!"

Karissa: "Tell me right now, Baby!"

Katrina: "Baby, Oh!"

Lenny couldn't tell if the music had stopped altogether or if it had simply stopped in his mind, but whatever the case his brain suddenly turned to putty when Kylie entered the room. Beautiful was not enough to describe how she looked. She wore a headband very similar to the bridesmaids, only much more dazzling. It was white in color with a white carnation and two long ribbons flowing down her left side. Her necklace was more of a chain of jewel-studded flowers instead of beads like the others. And she wore pale blue eye shadow that matched her bouquet of carnations perfectly. Lenny wasn't the only one captivated. Oscar almost started to drool after looking at her for half a second, which Angie noticed and was forced to close his mouth for him. Kurtis walked Kylie down the aisle as the song started to end.

Girls: "'Cause it's a beautiful night, we're lookin' for somethin' dumb to do,

Hey Baby, I think I wanna marry you."

The father and daughter reached the front of the alter. Kurtis kissed Kylie on the cheek and took a seat next to Kara. Kylie slowly approached Lenny with a love struck look on her face.

Girls: "Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice?

Who cares, Baby? I think I wanna marry you!"

The bride and groom took each other by the fins and the crowd applauded.

End of chapter.
