A/N Final chapter! Enjoy!
Ginger and the Professor kissed after the Father McPherson, Ginger's childhood priest, declared them husband and wife.
The other castaways were present at the wedding which had taken place at St. Matthew's Cathedral. The newly married couple made their way down the aisle to their waiting limo which was taking them to Rebecca's sailboat, Starlight.
Ginger had wanted a small reception and when Rebecca suggested Starlight, Ginger jumped at it. She thought it was a lovely boat and was just big enough for all. Her mother, Joan Grant had been present and so happy for her daughter. She thought the Professor was a wonderful choice for Ginger.
Ginger's father, Pierce Grant, was also pleased with the match his daughter made. He had never been fond of the men his daughter had dated in the past. The Professor however he believed to be the perfect husband for his little girl.
Sarah Hinkely adored Ginger and was so happy to have her as her new daughter in law. She told Ginger that she saw several of her movies and thought her a terrific actress.
Roy Sr thought Ginger to be a wonderful woman and told her she was just what his son needed. Someone to drag his nose out of a book once in awhile.
Isabella, Ginger's sister, told her she was a bit jealous she got to be stuck on an island with such a handsome man and that she just had all the luck. Ginger had laughed at her sister who was only two years older than her, and told her too bad Roy was hers. Isabella had hugged her younger sister and told her that she wished her all the best.
The limo arrived at the marina and the couple got out and were amazed how lovely the boat looked.
Rebecca, as well as Mrs. Howell, went all out to make it as beautiful and romantic as possible. The boat gleamed and shined. The deck floors were polished to perfection. There were long tables of food. Streamers and balloons. It was quite a sight.
The others had arrived and they all boarded the Starlight. Reception got underway.
Ginger and the Professor were introduced and everyone applauded. They took the dance floor and began their first dance as husband and wife. Ginger had picked the song At Last by Etta James as those words were near and dear to her heart.
Mary Ann watched Ginger dancing with her brand new husband. She looked over at Gilligan who was wearing a black jacket and white shirt with a black tie. She thought he looked most handsome and placed a kiss on his cheek.
He put his arm around her holding her close to him.
The dance came to and end and the newlyweds went take their seats at the dinner table.
As a joke, Mr. Howell, seated himself next to the Professor. Ginger saw this, smiled and yanked him out by his ear to which the castaways laughed. Even, Dan, the crew member who had his ear yanked by Ginger, chuckled at the scene.
Mr. Howell stood up and proposed a toast to the couple. "Ginger and Roy, I want to say that I wish you many many years of happiness. And Roy, if anyone ever tries to take the seat next to you, I hope Ginger will always be there to yank them out!"
The Professor was amused by this and put his arm around Ginger as she giggled.
Mary Ann then stood. "Ginger, I want to say that I have enjoyed being not only your roommate on the island but…your friend. I love you very much. I hope that.." Mary Ann teared up a bit. "I hope that we can still….be in touch…I love you both. I wish you the very best!"
Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip of their champagne.
After dinner had been served and everyone had eaten, the music started again.
Ginger danced with her father and then with Mr. Howell. And she then agreed to a dance with the Skipper. The Professor shared a dance with his new mother in law and also Mrs. Howell. He then was going to dance with his new sister in law but Ginger yanked him back declaring that was enough he was to dance with her now.
Isabella was stunned and walked over to Mary Ann. "I haven't seen her in four years so I'm just curious, she always like this?"
Mary Ann laughed. "Oh this is nothing. You should have seen her when this woman Erika Tiffany Smith tried to marry him. Ginger put an end to that real quick."
Isabella smiled. "So what you are saying is she is love with him and hands off her man?"
"Exactly." Mary Ann replied.
The older Grant sister looked over at Gilligan. "He's cute."
Mary Ann offered her a pleasant smile. "Yes and he's mine." She said before flipping her hair and walking to the sailor to ask him to dance.
"Now I know where Ginger gets it from." Isabella grinned amused by it all.
Rebecca stood watching the scene. She thought it was wonderful. Ginger was a beautiful bride and the Professor was handsome groom. They were a stunning couple.
Rebecca laughed as Ginger apparently whispered something to the Professor that as usual put him into a flustered state which him stammering something or other in response. Oh how she missed the married life. She missed Greg everyday.
Rebecca turned looking out at the water when someone approached her. She turned her head. "Skipper." She smiled. "Hello. Having a nice time?"
"The best." He said as he proudly looked at the newlyweds. Ginger had her lips pressed against the Professor's in a deep kiss.
"Goodness." Rebecca laughed. "Does she ever let him breathe?"
"Not very often." joked the Skipper.
The sea captain then appeared a little nervous. "Um…Rebecca.. would you…would you care to…Would you consider…"
Rebecca smiled placing her hand in his. "I'd love to." She walked onto the dance floor with the Skipper.
The song changed to Beyond the Sea by Bobby Darin. The two smiled as they enjoyed their dance.
The End!
