"Are you happy, Marilla?" John asks as they walk near Green Gables. They're taking a few moments to themselves before they get a photo taken to commemorate their wedding day.
"How can you even ask me that John? This is the happiest day of my life." Marilla says seriously.
"I just wanted to check. You seemed so nervous when we were saying our vows." John says as he puts his hand on her lower back.
"I was never going to be anything but nervous today. It's a moment I've been waiting for for a long time. It's only natural for me to be nervous." Marilla says gently.
John turns to Marilla and turns Marilla towards him. He kisses Marilla passionately. "You had every right to be nervous about today. I know I was anxious about today too and I've been married before. You look beautiful. You and Rachel did a wonderful job on your dress. I feel so lucky today."
"I feel so fortunate to be here today. I only wish Matthew were here today. I miss him at occasions like this." Marilla says sadly.
"Today is not a day to be sad. Matthew was watching over us today. I believe that with all my heart. Now, should we get our portrait taken?" John asks with a smile.
"Yes, can I make a request though? It may sound a little surprising to you." Marilla looks up at John.
"Of course you can. What is it you want, Marilla? I would give you anything I could, you know that." John says sweetly.
"Can we have Gilbert and Anne in our portrait? It seems only right to have them there." Marilla requests gently.
"That sounds like a wonderful idea. I'll go find them and meet you in the parlour." John kisses Marilla's cheek and heads out to the backyard.
