With their memories of the original timeline fully restored and intact, Bianca and Chris eloped (with most of his rather large family in tow) because they didn't want or need a big wedding after everything they'd been through. After promising Piper beforehand that she could throw them a party at a later date to celebrate, neither of them was all that shocked when said celebration happened several days later. "Your mother pulled this together rather quickly," Leo informed his son and new daughter-in-law.
"I can see that. She really went all out," Chris responded, shooting his father a grin.
"It's so beautiful," an awed Bianca murmured as her new husband wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
"You better get used to it - this family goes all out to celebrate whenever they can." Leo flashed them a smile before he went to find his wife (and do something embarrassing in front of them, like cry).
Bianca grabbed two glasses of champagnes from a waiter and handed one over to Chris. They clinked them together before both took a sip. "We actually did it, baby. You changed the world and we're married now," she marveled.
"Well, Dad did most of the work saving the world."
"Don't do that," she chided after kissing him. They were interrupted by other guests greeting them to offer congratulations, and the conversation ended there.
Leo and Piper sat down next to them at the table, took one look at Chris and Bianca, and teared up. "Again?" teased a slightly exasperated Chris. They had been emotional as hell ever since he and Bianca first broke the news they were engaged and eloping.
Piper wiped the tears off her face and mock glared at her middle child. "Forgive us, Christopher. We're only like this because we just want you to be happy and now you're getting everything you ever wanted."
Leo ruffled Chris' hair, and Bianca snorted. "And just be happy that your mom isn't throwing a fit over you getting married at twenty-three," he reminded his son.
"Almost did," Piper muttered.
Bianca choked on a laugh. "Let me guess - you reminded her that you got married for the first time when you were eighteen?"
He nodded. "I did, but it didn't take much convincing that it was a good idea. Piper and I are thrilled you two found each other again."
Chris glanced around the room as he suddenly realized they were down a family member. "Where did my best man disappear to?"
"Pretty sure he's sweating out his speech, baby." Bianca had spotted Wyatt outside panicking earlier and wouldn't be shocked if he was still there.
Chris sighed and kissed her. "Let me go find my big brother and tell him to knock it the fuck off. I'll be back."
Bianca beamed at him. "I'll be right here," she told Chris before he stood up and headed outside. She took another sip of champagne and sat back to watch everyone mill around Piper's restaurant. Her attention was caught by her brand new wedding ring again and Bianca couldn't help but stare at it. "Bianca Halliwell. Rolls right off the tongue."
"Yes, it does. Have said this already but welcome to the family, sweetheart. Embrace the absolute chaos that comes from marrying us." Piper's eyes twinkled as she teased her new daughter-in-law.
"You'll get used to it," Leo assured Bianca.
"Yay!" She laughed, relieved when Chris and Wyatt re-entered the restaurant and made their way back over.
Chris plopped down on his chair next to his wife and supportively patted his brother's shoulder. "You got this, Wy."
"I'm sure your speech is fine, sweetheart." Piper had the utmost faith in her oldest that Wyatt's speech would bring the house down and make them all cry - he did it all the time, something he seemed to have inherited from Leo.
Bianca and Chris couldn't wait to find out what this brand new timeline had in store for them. They were unbelievably excited to start their new life together as husband and wife, and she didn't even mind that they were going to live with Wyatt for a while until they got their own place. She had accepted a long time ago that all the Halliwells were weirdly and unapologetically codependent as a result of everything they'd been through over the years.
