Chapter 19: Marriage
I Don't Own Ben 10 Or Any Of The Characters
Author's Note:
* Hello and welcome to Chapter Nineteen, the final chapter! I hope you guys have enjoyed the story, because this will pretty much me the end! I did say that I may write an epilogue, but that all depends on if you guys actually want one.
* Also, this is going to be a really short chapter, I hope you guys don't mind. But then again, Ben and Gwen are getting married! Why does that need to be a long chapter?
* But aside from that, there's not really a whole lot left for me to say. I guess, right down into the chapter?
Four Years Later
Ben
The day had finally come. Gwen and I were standing at the alter inside of a church in Bellwood. We were getting married! Gwen was wearing a beautiful long sleeved, white dress, along with a white veil on her head, which somehow only showed off her fiery red hair even more than it had before.
Yeah, I was looking not too shabby myself. I had a black tuxedo on, with a black tie and black dress shoes to match. We had just begun to exchange our vows, with the help of the priest. Gwen was up first.
"I, Gwen," the priest said to her.
"I, Gwen," she repeated.
"Take thee, Ben," he said.
"Take thee, Ben," she repeated.
"To be my lawfully wedded husband," he said.
"To be my lawfully wedded husband," she repeated.
"To have and to hold," he said, "From this day forward,"
"To have and to hold," she repeated. "From this day forward,"
"For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health," he said.
"For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health," she repeated.
"To love and to cherish, till death do us part," the priest said.
"To love and to cherish, till death do us part," she repeated.
"According to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I pledge thee my faith." The priest finished the vow.
"According to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I pledge thee my faith." Gwen finished repeating the words.
Now, it was my turn, I repeated all of the words that the priest told me to say and after that came the ring exchange. Gwen put my ring on my finger and I did the same for her.
"You may kiss your bride." He said.
It was surprising to say the least when Gwen beat me to it. I guess that she had been just as excited about this as I was. She just couldn't wait for us to be "officially" married. After several more minutes, which felt like hours in all honesty, we all stepped outside, and Gwen and I walked down to the side of the church, where the car with the "Just Married" sign on the back awaited us.
I had picked Gwen up bridal style to put her into the passenger seat and then I got into the driver's seat. I started the engine and then we drove off, nothing but the future in sight.
Author's Note:
* And that's it for the final chapter! I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter and overall, I hope you enjoyed the story! Once again, I know this was a short chapter, but I'm honestly not sure where to take the story from here. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know, but the most likely case is that the story ends here.
* Please do let me know if you want a sort of epilogue or bonus chapter. I'd be more than happy to write one, but I won't do it unless I'm asked.
* That's all I have to say. I'm going to go though, so have a Bwen-tastic day and bye.
Review Responses
jasongd (Chapter 18): And another great chapter congrats Happy New Year BWEN Forever
Thanks, Jason. Happy New Year to you, too. Thanks for the chapter, as always.
He23t (Chapter 18): Well at least there was no brawl only a warning that an overprotective father would give. It take that anytime. Happy new year.
Thanks, Happy New Year to you, too. Yes, there was just a warning. A really intense warning, at that. Thanks for the review, as always.
Car45 (Chapter 18): Even Frank can see it, they just belong together. As always, looking forward to the next chapter.
Thanks, Car. I wouldn't say that even Frank can see it, as even now he still isn't happy that he's dating (now married) to his daughter. Thanks for the review, as always.
