For the third June in a row, one of the 11 children of Lynn Loud Sr. and Rita Loud was about to get married.
Two years ago, eldest child Lori Loud became Lori Santiago when she married her childhood sweetheart Bobby Santiago.
The year after that, second-eldest child Leni Loud became known as Leni James when she got married to Gavin James, whom she had met at age 17.
Now it was the turn of third-eldest child Luna Loud to get married. Her bride to be was Sam Sharp, a member of Luna's band the Moon Goats who she first had a crush on at age 15. Sam eventually reciprocated these feelings towards her, and soon after Luna came out to her family as bisexual.
Given that all the other Loud girls either have taken their new spouse's last name or will do so in the future, Sam agreed to take Luna's last name so that Lincoln wouldn't be alone in keeping his birth last name as a married person, becoming known as Sam Loud.
After extensive discussion, Luna and Sam decided not to have the Moon Goats be the musical entertainment at their own wedding, since it would be too much work to both be the musical entertainment and the subjects of the wedding.
Instead, Sully and Mazzy, the other two members of the Moon Goats, would be attending as regular guests. Everyone from Leni and Gavin's wedding were going to be in attendance as well.
For the musical entertainment, Luna scored a major coup. Her favorite singer and musical idol, Mick Swagger, accepted an invitation to perform at the wedding of his biggest fan. He considered it an honor to do so, and after the wedding, he would help the Moon Goats break into the mainstream music industry.
Once again, Lynn Sr. and Rosa Casagrande would work together to cater the wedding, which would be a tradition for whenever a Loud kid got married, as well as a member of the Santiago-Casagrande family.
And given past precedent, everyone at the wedding expected Lynn Sr. to have an extreme emotional breakdown.
With Luna being the third of the children of Lynn Sr. and Rita to get married, there would still be eight unmarried Loud kids left. They had previously agreed to get married in the birth order of the kids. So Luna had to wait until Lori and Leni were married until she herself could tie the knot with Sam.
By now, Lori was making strides a golfer on the LPGA Tour, Leni was getting noticed as a fashion designer, the Moon Goats were slowly building a national audience that Mick Swagger promised to turn into an international audience, Luan's career as a stand-up comedienne was starting to take off with eyes on acting roles in the future as well, Lynn Jr. was a multi-sport star at the University of Michigan, and Lincoln was in college doing the needed studies to create his own comic book title.
Meanwhile of Lincoln's younger sisters, Lucy was about to enter her senior year of high school, Lana and Lola their sophomore years of high school, Lisa into eighth grade, and Lily into third grade. Lucy was dating Rocky Spokes, who she planned to make her husband in several years.
The time was now here for Luna and Sam to officially become wife and wife. With Lola now aged 15 years old, Lily replaced her as the flower girl.
Luna and Sam got to the altar, where the same priest that wed Lori and Leni to their husbands would wed Luna to her wife. He was a very progressive priest, criticizing others who refused to wed same-sex couples.
The priest began to speak. "From what I can gather, Luna L. Loud and Samantha Sara Sharp have written their own vows. I guess writing one's own vows runs in the Loud family."
Luna began to speak first. "Ever since my sophomore year of high school, I have dreamed of raising a family with you. And the fact that you're part of the Moon Goats with me makes our relationship even sweeter and rockier. And not only do I want to raise a family with you, I want our band to become popular internationally. So I, Luna L. Loud, am proud to take you, Samantha Sara Sharp, to be my lawfully-wedded wife."
Sam spoke her vows next. "These past eight years of my life have been the best years of my life because I got to spend them as your girlfriend. Wherever the future takes me, I'm glad to have you along for the ride. I've been dreaming of being a famous rock star ever since I was a little kid. And now I can have you to share in that. So I, Samantha Sara Sharp, take you, Luna L. Loud, to be my lawfully-wedded wife."
The priest began to speak, "if anyone has any reason to object to the wedding of these two, speak now or forever hold your peace". No one at the wedding objected to Luna and Sam getting hitched. With that in mind, the priest said, "I now pronounce you wife and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
Luna and Sam soon engaged in their first kiss as a married couple. Sam would be only one of two spouses of a Loud kid to take the Loud name. Ronnie Anne Santiago would also take the Loud name after she got married to Lincoln, the only male child of Lynn Sr. and Rita.
And as was expected, Lynn Sr. had his extreme emotional breakdown. Nobody was surprised at this.
At the reception, everyone enjoyed tasty food cooked by both Lynn Sr. and Rosa, while several couples danced as Mick Swagger performed his greatest hits, including Luna and Sam.
Swagger had long acknowledged Luna as his biggest fan. The two had interacted before on several occasions. And now that Luna was married to one of her band mates, Mick promised he would help the Moon Goats become international superstars.
Part of the process involved getting the Moon Goats signed to the same record label Swagger was signed to. As one of his label's biggest stars, he had a lot of leverage.
And now that Luna was married, Luan could start plans to marry Benny Stein in a year. As Benny was Jewish, Luan herself converted to Judaism after she graduated high school. So Benny and Luan had every intention of having a traditional Jewish wedding.
