Last year, the Loud family's eldest child, Lori, got married to her childhood sweetheart, Bobby Santiago.
Now it was Leni's turn to tie the knot. Her husband was going to be Gavin James, who she met at 17.
At first, she didn't want to be with Gavin. Rather, she was trying to set Gavin up with her friend Miguel, who had fallen madly in love with him.
Her attempts at setting them up failed miserably. But everything worked out in the end, as Miguel found his other half in a janitor named Felix. Gavin got to hook up with Leni like he wanted. And Leni grew to love him.
The Loud kids all made an agreement before Lori graduated high school that the order in which the kids would eventually get married was from oldest to youngest. Thus, Leni had to wait until Lori was married to Bobby until she herself could get married to Gavin. They also all agreed to live in multi-bathroom houses as adults, not wanting their kids to go through what they themselves went through.
Now that Bobby and Lori had been married for a year, Gavin and Leni could themselves tie the knot. Once again, Luna and her band the Moon Goats were going to be the musical entertainment. Her wedding with Sam Sharp was to be in a year, and they didn't know how they were going to do it, but Luna and Sam with the Moon Goats were going to be the musical entertainment for their own wedding.
As is standard for when a Loud kid gets married, Lynn Loud Sr. and Rosa Casagrande teamed up to cater the event. And since this is Lynn Sr. we are talking about, everyone at the wedding expected him to have an extreme emotional breakdown like he did at the wedding of Lori and Bobby.
Everyone who attended the wedding of Lori and Bobby last year was at the wedding of Leni and Gavin. Leni also invited her friends, Chaz, Fiona, Miguel, Jackee, and Mandee to the wedding. Miguel brought his boyfriend, Felix, as well. Miguel insisted on this.
In the years since she first met Gavin, Leni made an extremely huge effort to become much more intelligent and shed her image as a dumb blonde so that one day she could make something of her life, perhaps become an international fashion designer. Every Loud kid was dreaming of something big in adulthood.
Lori wanted to have a career as a professional golfer, Luna wanted to achieve fame with the Moon Goats, Luan wanted to be a famous comedienne, Lynn Jr. wanted to be a multi-sport star, Lincoln wanted to design a comic given his interests in Ace Savvy and David Steele, Lucy wanted to be a famous poet, Lola wanted to be a frequent winner of pageants, Lana wanted to run a successful chain of auto repair shops, Lisa wanted to be a famous scientist, and Lily wanted to be a famous artist.
If all 11 Loud kids made it big in life, they would be very famous in their home town of Royal Woods, Michigan. Add Rita being a famous novelist and Lynn Sr. running a restaurant that expands eventually into a national chain to the equation and that's one famous family.
But for now, the focus was on Leni and Gavin. They have been planning this day for a year now, beginning their plans for the wedding the day after Lori and Bobby got married. Leni designed her own wedding dress, and also designed a suit for Gavin. This was expected of her given her interest in fashion. She also designed fancy outfits for other people at the wedding who needed them.
Lola was once again the flower girl. Miguel served as Gavin's best man. Leni's female friends were her bridesmaids.
The time was here. Once Gavin and Leni were together at the altar, the priest from Lori and Bobby's wedding began to speak. "We here are witness to the wedding of Gavin Rossdale James and Leni L. Loud. I have been informed that the bride and groom have written their own vows for the wedding. Accordingly, I shall let them speak."
Gavin spoke his vows first. "Leni L. Loud, ever since the day I met you at Spaghetti on a Stick at the Royal Woods Mall, I have enjoyed a tremendous relationship with you. Now I am ready to take this relationship to the next level. So Leni L. Loud, I am happy to become your husband."
Leni spoke her vows next. "Gavin Rossdale James, I am happy to have shared the last six years of this glorious ride I call my life with, and I am happy to share the rest of my life with you. I know we didn't get off to such a great start, but all that is behind us now. What matters is the present, and the future. Gavin Rossdale James, I am happy to become your wife."
The priest began to speak. "Gavin and Leni are finished with speaking their vows to one another. Before I officially wed them, is there anyone who has any reason these two should not be wed? If there is, speak now or forever hold your peace."
As was expected, no one objected to the wedding of Gavin and Leni. The priest began to speak again. "OK, so everyone here is fine with these two being wed. With that, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
Gavin gave Leni his first kiss as her husband. And as was expected, Lynn Sr. had his extreme emotional breakdown. Two of his 11 kids were now married. Nine more had yet to tie the knot with someone. But not all of them had hooked up with someone yet.
At the reception, people enjoyed delicious food made by both Lynn Sr. and Rosa. The Moon Goats performed a set list of classic rock love songs. All the Loud kids who had significant others danced with them.
But the most special dance of them all was done by Gavin and Leni.
Next year, it would be Luna's turn to get married to her girlfriend, Sam Sharp. And she would do everything she could to get Mick Swagger to attend.
