Jack opened the door and they both walked back in to the café. Lee and Rosemary were still there but it looked like the party was breaking up.
"Jack, Elizabeth, where have you been? We have been waiting for you so we could say goodbye." Rosemary cried. Then she took a look at the both of them. She could tell something was up with them. They both shared the same sparkle in their eyes. "Jack, did you ask Elizabeth to marry you?" She asked.
Jack and Elizabeth stared at each other for a moment. Jack tilted his head at Elizabeth in silent question if they should tell the news. She nodded yes.
"Everyone," Jack called. People moved toward him. "Rosemary, we should have known we couldn't keep this a secret from you. We didn't want to upstage you at your own wedding."
"Come on, Jack. " Rosemary said. "Tell us what is going on"
Jack took the ring box out of his pocket and pulled the ring out. He took Elizabeth's left hand. "Yes, I did ask this beautiful woman to marry me." He paused and pushed the ring onto her finger. "She said yes".
The café broke out is cheers. Charlotte came running over to hug her son and future daughter-in-law. "I am so happy for you, son. For both of you."
Abigail was next. She hugged Elizabeth, whispering in her ear how happy she was for her. Then she turned to Jack and said "it's about time. We all knew this day would happen sooner or later."
Frank was next. "Congratulations, Jack and Elizabeth." He gave Elizabeth a quick kiss on the check and shook Jack's hand.
"Frank would you perform our marriage ceremony for us" Jack asked.
"Of course. I would be honored."
Other guests came forward to offer congratulations. Last, Rosemary and Lee came forward. "I am so happy for you both." Rosemary said as she surprised Elizabeth with a hug."
"So am I." Lee concurred as he shook Jack's hand and gave him a slap on the back.
"Maybe someday in the not so distant future we will have children the same age who will grow up as best friends." Rosemary said with a dreamy look on her face. "Baby Coulter and Baby Thornton"
Elizabeth blushed a little before responding to Rosemary. "That would be nice but let's let God make those decisions for us."
"Of course" Rosemary replied. "Now, everyone, Lee and I are saying our good nights. We have a honeymoon to get to." Lee blushed. Everyone laughed and said good night.
