"Laurel, are you sure you don't want to go with our original plan?" Oliver asked.
"No, if there's anything we've learned lately it's that life's too short and rather than waste it anymore than we already have and in my opinion, we've put this off for 10 years already, I'm not putting it off any longer." Laurel said.
"Just making sure. You already cancelled everything right?" Oliver asked.
"Of course, which means that it's too late to go back to plan A." Laurel said.
"I'm just making sure. So we should probably get started." Oliver said with a smile.
"Let's go." Laurel said as she put her arm in his and they exited their bedroom and headed down to the living room where a small wedding procession had been set up.
Ray was standing at the altar, since he would be the one administering the ceremony, John on the left in the best man's spot and Sara standing on the right in the maid of honor's spot.
In the audience was Thea, Quentin, Dinah (Laurel and Sara's mother), Roy, Lyla, Sara Diggle, John Jr., Felicity, Oliver's son William and his mother Samantha, Barry, Iris, Caitlin, Cisco, Joe, Wally and Jessie.
When Oliver and Laurel reached the altar, Ray began "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the holy matrimony of Oliver Jonas Queen and Dinah Laurel Lance. Now, as everyone in this room knows, these 2 are basically the definition of a complicated relationship (cue snickers from Thea), and I'm sure that their closest friends and maybe even themselves never thought this day would come, and yet here we are. And for the sake of asking it, I ask, is there anyone here so sees any reason as to why these 2 should not be wed."
After a moment of silence, Ray said "I believe that both Oliver and Dinah have written their own vows. Oliver if you could please recite your vows to Dinah."
Oliver nodded and speaking from his heart, he said "Dinah, or Laurel, since I know you hate your first name (Laurel smiled at that), I honestly never thought we'd get where we are today. I was surprised enough when you told me you forgave me for what happened on the Queen's Gambit. But now that we're finally here, it makes me wish we'd reached this stage a lot sooner. You see what no one else, including myself, see and bring out a better side of me. You're the one person on earth I know that I can always trust and that is not something I ever thought I'd say about anyone. You are the only true love of my life and I promise to treat you as such for as long you'll let me as your husband."
Laurel had tears in her eyes as Ray instructed her to recite her own vows.
"Oliver, it's no secret that when you first came back, I despised you and wanted nothing to do with you. I had been so angry for so long that my heart had actually frozen over from it and no one else could melt it. But eventually you did and I love you for that. While we may have had a rough road of betrayals and beliefs that we couldn't be together, I secretly never gave up hope that we'd eventually find our way back into each other's arms and we did. And I could not be more grateful for that, since you are the man I love and nothing will ever change that and I promise to always be there for you for as long as you want me to be as your wife." Laurel said.
Oliver smiled as Ray said "Please exchange rings."
Oliver placed a wedding ring on Laurel's right ring finger and Laurel did the same with his.
"Oliver, do you take Dinah to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad ones for as long as you both shall live?" Ray asked.
"I do." Oliver said and Laurel beamed.
"And do you Dinah take Oliver to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad ones for as long as you both shall live?" Ray asked.
"I do." Laurel said.
"Then by the power vested in me, I hereby pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Ray said and Oliver and Laurel shared their first kiss as husband and wife.
"So, where are you guys going on your honeymoon and Laurel, I still can't believe you talked him into taking a honeymoon." Thea said.
"Actually the honeymoon was the only part of our original plan that I wouldn't let her cancel." Oliver said.
"Really, so where are you guys going?" Roy asked.
"The Caribbean." Laurel said.
"Tropical vacation, sounds like fun." Thea said.
"Yep, so don't ruin it by showing up with work of either sort." Oliver said.
Thea nodded in understanding.
Over the 18 years, things in Star city continued to change. Oliver killed Prometheus about 6 months after he and Laurel returned from their honeymoon, and at the same point Laurel revealed that she was pregnant, which led to her retiring from being the Black Canary permanently. She had a girl who was named Moira Thea Queen who had inherited her mother's sonic scream. As Moira grew older, Oliver taught her how to fire a bow and arrow and when Moira turn 18, she took her father's place as the guardian of Star City taking on the mantle Black Arrow, combining both of her parents' codenames. Her suit was basically a black female version of her father's suit, with a few traces of her mother's suit, such as her batons added to it.
John Jr. And Sara also joined Moira's team with John taking up the mantle as the new Green Arrow, to which Oliver had given his blessing and John currently used an upgraded version of the Green Arrow suit. Sara had taken on the mantle of Siren and used a blue suit that was designed similarly to the Black Canary suit.
The final member of the new team was Roy and Thea's son Tommy Roy Harper, who took up the mantle of Arsenal, though he used a gold suit that was made from the same material as his cousin Moira's suit, only his had a built miniature computer built into one of the wrists since he was surprisingly also the team's tech support.
Much like her Aunt Sara, Moira was actually a lesbian, which her parents were more than willing to accept, so long as Moira was happy and she was currently dating her fellow teammate Sara Diggle, whose parents also approved of the relationship, so long as they didn't let things in their personal lives get in the way of their teamwork.
