Chapter 44 Shaggy and Velma's Whole New World
Three years after the gang graduated from College Freddy, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby Doo moved back to their hometown Crystal Cove. They all managed to get their own places and secure jobs depending on what they studied in College. Daphne became a famous designer, Freddy became a detective and possibly the best trap builder anyone has ever seen, Velma became a very well-known and famous scientist and taught the local University. As for Shaggy and Scooby their dream finally came true. They opened up a restaurant together and eventually became famous TV chefs with their own cooking show entitled "Cooking with Shaggy and Scooby." After much planning, waiting and saving money it was finally Shaggy and Velma's wedding day. Shaggy asked Scooby to be his best man or in Scooby's case the best dog which he said yes to and Freddy was a groomsman. Velma's ex-boyfriend Johnny Bravo heard about Velma's engagement. Even though he was upset that he and Velma couldn't work things out he was happy for her and wished Velma all the happiness in the world. Velma once asked him if he ever met anyone else and to Velma's surprise Johnny told Velma that he and Carol the antelope got together and they have been dating for a couple of years. Carl and his wife Helga heard about Velma and Shaggy's wedding and were invited to attend. Carl and Helga even brought their daughter Iris. "I'm so glad you guys could make it and your little girl is so cute. I didn't know you guys even had a daughter" said Daphne. "Sorry we didn't keep in contact more. After Helga gave birth to our little girl Iris we became very busy. We're new to being parents" said Carl. "But at the same time we're so happy to be here to see your friends get married" Helga pointed out.
As more of the guest arrived both Velma and Shaggy were getting ready. "Like I'm so nervous. Do you think I'll make a good husband for Velma?" Shaggy asked his best dog. "I believe you will so try to calm down and remember you're about to make each other very happy" answered Scooby assuring Shaggy that it was going to be ok as he and Freddy helped the groom get ready. "I can't believe it's wedding day I'm so happy that I can cry" Velma said and before the tears started coming down Daphne got a tissue and said, "Please Velma don't cry because then I'm going to start crying. I'm just so happy for you. Velma hugged her maid of honor and thanked Daphne for what she said. "Maybe someday Freddy will pop the question and you'll be next to get married" Velma said. "We'll see" said Daphne as she helped Velma get ready for the wedding. Once Velma was ready her parents came in and her father said, "You're beautiful. You remind me so much of your mother when she and I got married isn't that right dear?" "That she does. Plus she is wearing the same wedding dress that I wore which is her something borrowed and it's still gorgeous even after all these years" said Velma's mother. Once the bride and groom were done getting ready it was time to begin the wedding. The guest took their seats and Shaggy took his place at the altar waiting for his beautiful bride to walk down the aisle. After Freddy, Daphne and Scooby came walking down and took their places Here Comes the Bride started playing and Velma was walking down the aisle with her father by her side. Shaggy couldn't believe how beautiful Velma looked in her wedding dress and couldn't wait to make her his wife. As soon as Velma got up to the altar Shaggy lifted her veil revealing her face which he couldn't get enough of.
As soon as Velma stood next to Shaggy the minister began the ceremony, "Hello friends and family members we are gathered here to witness Velma Dinkley and Norville Rogers or Shaggy as he prefers to be called in holy matrimony. From childhood friends to sweethearts these two have created a loving bond and despite their ups and downs are now about to become husband and wife. If anyone here today has a reason why these two should not be wed today speak now or forever hold your peace. Since no one here today has any reason why these two shouldn't be wed I will have the bride and groom repeat after me Shaggy you're first,
Minister: "I Shaggy Roger"
Shaggy: "I Shaggy Rogers"
Minister: "Take Velma Dinkley to be my wife. My partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before."
Shaggy: "Take Velma Dinkley to be my wife. My partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before."
Minister: "I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together."
Shaggy: "I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together."
Minister: "I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live."
Shaggy: "I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live."
After Shaggy said his wedding vows the Minister said to Velma it's your turn repeat after me,
Minister: "I Velma Dinkley."
Velma: "I Velma Dinkley."
Minister: "Take Shaggy Rogers to be my husband. My partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before."
Velma: "Take Shaggy Rogers to be my husband. My partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before."
Minister: "I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together."
Velma: "I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together."
Minister: "I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live."
Velma: "I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live."
"Now it's time for the exchanging of the rings. Velma please place this ring on Shaggy and say, I Velma Dinkley give you this ring as a gift and symbol of my love and commitment to you" the minister said to Velma and she repeated,
Velma: "I Velma Dinkley give you this ring as a gift and symbol of my love and commitment to you."
"Shaggy now it's your turn so please say I Shaggy Rogers give you this ring as a gift and symbol of my love and commitment to you and place Velma's ring on her finger" requested the minister and Shaggy said the following words,
Shaggy: "I Shaggy Rogers give you this ring as a gift and symbol of my love and commitment to you."
Shaggy placed Velma's wedding ring on her finger just as Velma placed Shaggy's ring on his finger. Then the minster said, "By the power invested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Shaggy gently pulled Velma in and kissed her for the first time as her husband. Everyone was clapping and crying tears of joy for the newlyweds. After the wedding it was time for the reception. "Introducing for the first time Shaggy and Velma Rogers. Give a big hand for the newlyweds" said the officiant as Shaggy and Velma walked in together to greet and thank their guest for coming to their wedding. Shaggy and Velma walked up on stage because they wanted to say a few words. Velma went first,
Velma: "Thank you to all of our friends and family who could be here today. It means a lot that so many came to witness me and Shaggy pledging our love as we took the next step in our lives."
Shaggy: "Like yeah. All of you made this day special just by being there for us and we appreciate that very much."
Velma: "In honor of today Shaggy and I would like to sing a song together entitled a Whole New World from Disney's Aladdin."
Shaggy: "We chose this song because we believe that it symbolizes our love for each other and how happy I am that my beautiful wife gave me another chance when I stupidly screwed up our relationship the first time when we were teenagers."
Velma: We hope you like it. Start the music please."
The DJ at the reception found the song the couple requested and started playing it. Both Velma and Shaggy had a microphone in their hands and Shaggy began to sing,
Shaggy: "I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?"
Shaggy: "I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride"
Shaggy: "A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming"
Velma: "A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Shaggy: ("Now I'm in a whole new world with you")
Velma: "Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feelings
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky"
Velma: "A whole new world"
Shaggy: ("Don't you dare close your eyes")
Velma: "A hundred thousand things to see"
Shaggy: ("Hold your breath, it gets better")
Velma: "I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back
To where I used to be"
Shaggy: "A whole new world"
Velma: "Every turn a surprise"
Shaggy: "With new horizons to pursue"
Velma: "Every moment red letter"
Both: "I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you"
Shaggy: "A whole new world"
Princess Jasmine: "A whole new world"
Shaggy: "That's where we'll be"
Velma: "That's where we'll be"
Shaggy: "A thrilling chase"
Velma: "A wondrous place"
Both: "For you and me"
When the song was over everyone clapped and cheered because it was an enjoyable performance and the guest believed that Velma and Shaggy chose the perfect song for them because most of them knew of their past. After that Scooby went up on stage to give a speech as the best dog,
"Shaggy and Velma I'm so happy for the both of you. I'll never seen two people who love each other just as much as you both love and care for each other. I hope to one day find true love just like you guys have. Shaggy make sure you love and cherish Velma always because you found yourself someone who cares just as much as I do about you. To my best friend and his bride may you always be happy together."
After Scooby Doo finished his best man/dog speech from across the room he spotted a lovely female Great Dane who happened to be the dog that belonged to one of the guest at the reception so he went over there to talk to her. Shaggy and Velma saw Scooby talking to the other Great Dane and smiled because they wanted Scooby to be just as happy as they were. "I'm going to throw the bouquet" Velma said as she turned around and threw the bouquet. All of the female guest gathered because they all believed that whoever catches the bouquet was next to be married. Daphne was the lucky one to catch it and screamed with joy. "It's my turn" Shaggy pointed out as Velma sat down so that Shaggy could remove her garter from her leg. After that Shaggy did the same thing as Velma. He tossed the garter for the male guest at the reception to catch. Freddy was the one to catch it since his girlfriend Daphne caught the bouquet. "Looks like we may know who's next to get married" Velma stated with a smile as she winked at her friends. Freddy and Daphne blushed at what Velma said and thought about it. "Maybe it will happen" Both Freddy and Daphne thought to themselves as they smiled and looked at each other with just as much love as Shaggy and Velma.
"The bride and groom will now come on to the dance floor and share their first dance as husband and wife with the song they have chosen together" said the DJ. Velma and Shaggy walked up to the dance floor and the DJ turned on the music. Velma and Shaggy chose to do the tango and everyone thought it was romantic. The guest did come up to the dance floor. Velma's father cut in because he wanted to share a share with his daughter. Velma's mom danced with Shaggy. Shaggy's parents also cut in because they wanted to dance with their son and new daughter as well. Later on Shaggy and Velma cut the cake to hand out to each of their guest. When the reception was over there was a limo waiting for Shaggy and Velma to take them to the airport so they go on their honeymoon. Just like most limos there were strings of cans tied to the bumper and on the back window it said, "Just married." Shaggy and Velma said bye to their guest as they boarded the limo and drove away to enjoy their honeymoon and their lives together as husband and wife. Every one including Scooby wished them a long and happy marriage. As the newlyweds drove away Scooby shouted, "Scooby Dooby Doo!" Which Shaggy and Velma heard and smiled. Shaggy and Velma were now ready to begin their lives together and live happily ever after.
The End
Author's Note: I finally finished writing Rekindle Love. I hope all of you out there enjoyed my story. I might write another Scooby Doo fan fiction if I can of a good story. Sorry to all of you who were hoping that Johnny and Velma would end up together. My fan fiction is called Rekindle Love for a reason. For this final chapter I chose to include the song a Whole New World from Disney's Aladdin. I thought that this song suited Shaggy and Velma because they both thought they could never be a couple again. Thanks to their friends Velma and Shaggy ended up together. Thank you all for reading my story from beginning to end. I hoped you liked it and most likely there will be a squeal to this fan fiction in the near future. Right now I want to finish up other fan fictions that I started a while ago and maybe write a few short stories. Please stay tune for the next time I write a new fan fiction and update one of my other stories that I haven't finished yet. I don't own Aladdin or any other Disney related things. A Whole New World belongs to Disney and so does Aladdin. Peace out from Princesspeach102!
