The Big Day finally arrived. Oh flew both of them to the Lunar Colony, and they split up to get ready. Everyone had earlier agreed that it should be done Earth style, but with Boovish flair. Since they themselves didn't do any of the planning they were both nervous. Neither of them knew what to expect. As they were both heading into separate buildings to get changed, and finish preparations Tip was going thru what little of the plans she knew. Kyle was to be Best Man, her mom Lucy was Maid of Honor with Boov Brides Maids, Smek was going to lead her down the isle, and a young Boov was going be the Ring Bearer. "Wait! Who's going to lead the ceremony" she thought in a sudden panic. And suddenly her thoughts were interrupted as a strangely familiar hum filled the air. She looked just in time to see something with green lights land a short distance outside the colony. "That couldn't be..." she thought and shaking her head went inside.
A short distance away Oh was also about to enter his building, when he also noted the craft landing. Acting on a hunch, he called inside saying he would come in in a few moments as he "hads to be checking on something." He rushed to the edge of the colony, and sure enough there it was. It was the Gorg Mothershp. "Whyfor is Gorg Commander here? I dids not send him an e-vite." Seeing him disenbark from the ship in his armor Oh went over to him and an earnest conversation in Gorg took place. I turned out that he had been alerted to the fact that Oh was getting married by and anonymous sender, and seeing how Oh had saved his species from certain extinction he felt he HAD to come. He asked if were OK to attend, even though he wasn't invited. Oh smiled and said that it was fine with him. The next question asked was who the Bride was. At Oh's reply the Gorgs eyes went wide, this was replaced with a knowing smile. He told Oh roughly, "I should have guessed that it was her. I could see from the way you two acted towards each other, when I landed on Earth, that you two already cared for each other a lot." The two then headed to the men's prep building. On the way back his Pad beeped, glancing at it showed a message from Tip. Apparently a detail for their wedding had somehow been overlooked. The Gorg asked what was written, and when Oh replied and offered the job to him he shook his head. "I would not know what to do" he said. Oh replied to Tip saying the he would ask among their Boov friends to see who could do it.
Inside the building everyone else was already dressed and ready. They were all wearing vests made to look like the formal-wear that the men of Earth wore. Oh's vest for the occasion resembled a the classic "Tux and Tie" look with a faint Spiral Circle barely chowing on the 'tie'. Everyone turned as Oh came in, and seeing Gorg Commander enter behind Oh, Smek panicked, turning a bright yellow before running to hide. There was a stunned silence, this was a surprise. "Whatfor is Gorg Commander doing here" Kyle asked. "He was alerted about the wedding anonymously, and felt he should attend. I hads given him full permision" turning he called towards the back of the building "Smek you can be coming out now! Gorg Commander has long since forgiven you!" This brought chuckes from everyone, even the Gorg himself. The Pad beeped again, it seemed one of the Big Brained Boov would be willing to step in to fill the void, he just had to get some proper clothes first (which should not take long). Oh smiled as he rushed to get ready himself.
Inside the women's prep building, the finishing touches were being put into place. Lucy and the Brides Maids were all wearing solid purple (this was a wedding of two Boov after all), and Tips dress was beautifully wrought in a lace pattern of Spiral Circles done in just such a way to stunningly beautiful. Both in her wedding bouquet, and her hair there were stars (which was fitting for a marriage between those two) and of course there was her pendant necklace Oh had presented to her years ago. Everyone was near to tears, at the completed affect of all of it. Tip couldn't wait until Oh got to see her in her dress, she was so excited. Tips Pad beeped, and taking a look at it she was surprised. Lucy saw the look on her face and asked what it said. "Apparently we have a surprise attendee, and Oh isn't saying who it is." Tip shrugged, if Oh didn't mention who it was, then it probably wasn't important.
Out in the Main Square (where Smek earlier ha his party) the guests were gathering. Somehow the Boov managed to bring all of Tips living family, and they were seated on one side of the isle. On the other side was all the Boov in attendance. This included may of the Big Brains. Speaking of Big Brained Boov, the one leading the ceremony was up on the platform getting ready to say his part. Oh, Kyle, Smek, and the Gorg Commander entered the square. Oh and Kyle going up to the platform, Smek waiting at the back of the isle, and the Gorg Commander taking a seat in the very back towards the side (so he wouldn't distract others or block their view). Next came Lucy, and the Brides Maids, and the young Boov who was the Ring Bearer. All eyes then turned turned toward the back of the isle, and a Boov Flower Girl started scattering purple rose petals. Lastly came Tip in her gorgeous gown. Oh was so shocked at how beautiful his bride was that he grew pale (before Kyle saw and gave him a nudge), then it shifted to a deep, deep pink. It was the type of pink that actually glowed. Tip was also somewhat transfixed. She had to admit that he had never looked more handsome. So focused on Oh was she that she didn't notice their surprise attendee, with her and Smek holding hands as he walked her down the isle they walked straight up the isle. Smek looked up and noticed the tears of joy that were forming in her eyes, and quietly told her how beautiful she was.
Once up on the platform she turned around, then she saw the Gorg in the audience (it was hard not to, in his armor he stood taller than even the Humans). She gasped in shock, "So this is who Oh meant..." Seeing Tips reaction the rest of the audience turn to see what caused it, and many more gasps were heard. Gorg Commander just wave at them nicely. Once everyone got over the shock the ceremony resumed. The Big Brain up on the platform nodded to himself. The plan was to just do it in Boovish and English, now he would have to do it in Gorg as well. "This ceremony might be taking a while to finish" he thought to himself. With a sigh he started into the marriage speech he had prepared, knowing he would be out of breath by the time he got to the end.
An hour and a half later, the speech was finally done being repeated. Tip and Oh then said their beautifully worded vows to each other. They had stayed up many nights together working on how to word them. The vows brought out how deep and long their friendship was, and yet still somehow seemed to reach into the stars of space. The result was there wasn't a dry eye in the square (well maybe the Grog had dry eyes but who could tell when he was in his armor). Having said their "I do's", and exchanged rings, then came the part the audience was eagerly anticipating (this was mostly the Boov, since they had long known their feelings for each other), a set of steps were brought out and Oh climbed up them. This made Tips head and his roughly at the same height. "You may now be kissing your Boovish Bride", Oh and Tip shared a big kiss, causing him to glow a little brighter, and sending another light pink Shockwave traveling thru his body. All this happened to the roar of applause from the audience. Although the human can be loud when excited, they quickly learned that Boov can get quite a bit louder. Seeing the spectacle before them, the now married couple shared a laugh and kissed again, causing even more cheering.
Later it was time for the giving of gifts. From the Human side of things came small stuff, like Bubble Bath (knowing that Boov have a fondness for bubbles), a recipe box (which was LOADED with chicken recipes), some elegant sleepwear for Tip, and beautiful jewelry. The gifts from the Boov were quite impressive. These were an Incubator Pod (because Boov young were hatched from eggs) which caused Tip and Oh to both smile widely, a Large Bubble Pod (such as Tip had seen floating around the Eiffel Tower during their trip, and could be used as a family vehicle as well as a mobile home), the last gift was a home of their own right there in the colony.
Things then shifted to wedding reception, there were three tables that were set. One had Human food, another had Boov food, and the third was filled with all things chicken and both groups could enjoy. Gorg commander sadly couldn't stay, while his children were old enough to look after themselves, he feared the mess awaiting him on his return to the ship. What could you expect with that many children, and all the same age. Saying his goodbyes to the happily married couple, he headed back to the ship.
Towards the end of the meal, and after Oh had cut the cake and shared the first slice with Tip, a Big Brained Boov pulled the two aside. "What is you two planning where having young is being concerned" he asked them having seen the incubator among the gifts. Tip blushed, "We'd like to have two kids, a girl and a boy." He turned slightly blue hearing this, "I dos not see how that is being possible Human and Boov reproduction is being to different from each other." It was Tips turn to be sad now. Oh seeing his wife saddened said to her "Cheering up Tip, it is not time for Death Song yet. I am sures there is a way, otherwise he woulds not have asked us. Correct" he said turning to the Big Brain. "Yes, there might be a way if we dos it by lab, but we would have to be blending the DNA very carefully." Tip cheered up, partially from hearing that there was hope, and partially because of Ohs reference to the Death Song (the Boovs ceremonial song of No Hope), remembering the time Oh had 'treated' her to it. The Boov idea of music was so vastly different from the Earth standard. "Be coming to me after your Honeys Moon, and I will be seeing what I can be doing" the Big Brain said.
On hearing the Honeymoon talked about, Kyle and Smek came over to join them. "What is you planning for your Honeys Moon" Kyle asked with a grin. "I has planning to take Tip on tour of Most Beautiful places in the Universe" Oh said with a big grin "I is going to be doing it counting down style!" "That is going to be taking a long while Oh" he said with a worried look "Who is to be leading us while you twos are gone?" "Hmmm. That is being a good question Kyle, I hads not thought of that" Oh said looking thoughtful. "I could be leading again" said Smek, this caused all in the group to stare at him in shock. "What" he said in surprise "I dids it before, I knows how." "Uh, last time you was leading us you hads gotten more than a littles bit carried away" said Kyle remembering the many "Shushings" he had done, and what it had took for him to relinquish command. "I will be OKs. I will not be having the 'Shusher' afters all" Smek said. "That is being true, OK Smek I trust you. You can be leading while we are gone" Oh said. The reception ended soon after this, and everyone started to go home. All except Oh and Tip however who were going straight to the Honeymoon. Oh had made Bubble Bags the night before, and after they packed they had sent them ahead to the colony. Tip liked this style of luggage a lot better, it was a lot easier to get around without being weighed down. The took their gift briefly to their new home, grabbed their Bubble Bags, and entered their Large Pod.
After getting changed into something more comfortable, the two sad down by the controls and they quickly left the Solar System behind. Time and again Tip found herself in the breathless wonder, time and again Oh got to introduce his wife to the interstellar friends of the Boov people (though all were surprised that he was letting Smek lead in his absence, Oh just said he did not have the "Shusher" anymore and that he trusted him), some of them were those who had showed up to Ohs party. They were also amazed at Tips being chosen be be counted a Boov, being adopted into the Boov species is EXCEDINGLY rare they told her. They only manage to successfully do this once every thousand years.
There surprise was doubled, when Oh told them her status among them. They gazed at Tip with newfound admiration, and said that he was happy to have her as wife. A few years later, and with many new long distance friends, the tour was about to end and Tip was surprised by his choice of "Number One Most Beautiful". "Oh this is Earth, why is it the most beautiful" Tip asked Oh in confusion. "Silly Tip" he thought "You ought to be knowing by now why this is being my choice." Turning deep pink, he smiled at her and said "It is because this is where I hads met you." Tip joined him in being pink and pulled him into a kiss.
Back on the Lunar Colony Oh and Tip got in contact with the Big Brain that had talked to them at the reception. "Good to be seeing you two back" he said "Between Smek's attitude, and Kyle's efforts to be keeping him in the line, it was being chaos!" Oh sighed, "We will not be making THAT mistake again. It seems that even without having the 'Shusher' he hads reverted to his former self." The Big Brains face brightened into a smile, and turning orange said to the couple, "I dids find a way to dos it! Alls I is needing is a drop of blood from you both for the DNA, and you shoulds has your egg ready in a few minutes." Tip smiled widely at the news, but looking at Oh she saw him wince and turn yellow. "I thought you wanted young Oh, why scared" the Big Brain asked. "I think it's the pain of the prick he is fearing, he doesn't handle pain very well" Tip said smiling reassuringly at Oh. "It's very brief, and I'll be with you darling" she said. Oh looked at her turning pink, this was the first time Tip had used a term of endearment for him. "OKs I am willing to dos it" he said. With both fingers pricked (and only a slight whimper from Oh), the process was begun. "Is you two wanting both now, or are you wanting the second later" the Big Brain asked. Tip and Oh looked to each other, "Second later, I thinks two at once will be being a bit too overwhelming" Oh said. Tip nodded in agreement. The Brain then pulled up a screen showing the projected results of the blending. The girl was roughly human in size an stature, but slightly smaller. She also had a smaller version of a Boovish head it being human is size. "How comes she is mostly Human", Oh asked. "The main Boovish parts of her are being one the inside. She will being able to color change, eat foods of both worlds, and also swim as well as her mydad." Oh smiled wide, he was liking the thought of being a mydad. Looking at the image once again, Tip said "She looks like a Luna." "Yes, you are correct Tip. She is a Luna" Oh said. "She will be taking the usual two years to hatch correct" he asked the Big Brain. "Yes two years" he said. Ohs smile grew even wider, "Then we will be coming back in a year for the other egg."
They took the egg home and placed it it the incubator. "This light is showing how long to the Hatching, Tip" he said pointing to a series of circles with pie slices. "There will be a second set showing when we are having the second egg, our son." Tip thought about the data she had seen at the Lab, "I think the data indicated that she will be a lot like me, smart and bold." "Yes, that is why I was agreeing with you about naming her Luna" he said smiling and pink. "You are sun of my life, and she reflects you!" This time he pulled her into a kiss, and they stayed locked like that for a few minutes.
A year passed and Tip and Oh were now completely moved into their new home. Once again they were at the again at the Lab. Oh didn't wince or whimper this time. He was learning to be just as brave as Tip. The results for the boy showed they same type of body style as the girl (except for the gender differences), and this time their child would take after Oh, a little shy, and good at working with his hands. "He looks like a Cozmo, does he not" Oh said to Tip. "Yes he is a Cozmo. She smiled as she hugged her husband. "Magnificent like the night sky, and like you as well" she said. Oh hugged her back, glowing a bright pink. They walked home together, gazing at their new egg, and son Cozmo. They laid the egg in the incubator, and started eagerly anticipating what the future might hold for their little family.
That is being the end of this story. Thanking you again Randomness for helping me out, this time with daughters name. I am hoping you are liking what I dids with it. Please to be posting a reply if you are wanting me to continuing their story.
