That is not Rory in the picture of the dress just so happens to be a blonde model. I know she has very very little hair, I didn't want you to think I forgot or thought you wouldn't notice! Xo

Happy and Rory arrived at the reservation together on the sunny and unusually warm day. She wore a calf length white dress with beading and a sash while her soon-to-be husband classed up his usual uniform with a black t-shirt rather than white or gray. They did nothing to prepare aside from what was necessary, no decorations or flowers but there were tables and chairs set up and a plethora of food and alcohol. It was more like a patch-in party than a wedding and it was just what they wanted. The club, Johnny and a few random friends gathered by the humongous willow tree where the couple stood with the Chief standing against the trunk wearing a wide smile on his face. Tig lingered behind Happy, acting as best man, holding Emma in his arms.

"I was told Happy and Rory don't want any kind of speech or advice. Nothing but vows so that's how we'll do this today." The crowd laughed, less than surprised, and Happy reached to take Rory's hands.

"Get on with it, Chief." He said with a wink.

"Do you, Happy, take Rory to be your wife? To cherish, honor and obey," that word received some chuckles, "For as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." He said actually cracking a smile as Rory's eyes filled with tears.

"And do you, Rory, take Happy to be your husband? To cherish, honor and obey for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." She whimpered trying her hardest not to cry.

"That was easy." He folded up the paper and beamed at the couple. "By the power invested in me by the," before he could even finish Rory lunged forward and kissed Happy. Emma shrieked and clapped, not fully understanding the moment but feeling the happiness around her.

"I now pronounce you man and wife. I guess the party can start."

"Here." Happy handed out little tins with mushrooms inside for those who were eager while Rory sat with Emma trying to get her to eat.

"Honey, you have to. Once you're done you can dance with Daddy again, I promise."

You look pretty, Mommy." She beamed as she chewed.

"Thank you. You're going to have a sleep over at Aunt Tara's with Abel and Thomas, how's that sound?"

"Really?!" The child was bouncing excitedly on her mother's lap now and Rory realized she should have kept that secret for after dinner.

"Yes, go on now." She let Emma totter off toward Happy and leaned back in her chair with a beer.

"Feel different?" Johnny joined her and clinked the top of his bottle against hers.

"I guess." She grinned and shrugged. "It's still weird in general."

"You two gonna dance or something? I mean this doesn't feel very much like a wedding."

"We didn't want it to." She said with just a touch of sadness in her voice.

"You sound like you did, maybe a little."

Rory shrugged. "I'm just happy I married him. We're dancing soon, Saturday Night Special by Skynyrd."

"That song?"

"Yeah." She laughed. "It reminds us of our relationship, killing people and shit, us against the world kinda."

"You're twisted." He stood up and kissed the top of her head. "But I love you anyway."

"Love you too, Johnny."

Watching the party from afar Rory lost track of Happy. She searched with just her eyes for a moment before standing but as soon as she got to her feet he came behind her and scooped her up in his arms.

"What's wrong with you?" He grumbled as they moved to the dancing crowd.

"Nothing. Where's Emma?"

"You're about to say goodbye to her, then we'll dance and then I'll fuck you against a tree."

"Oh, aren't you romantic."

"I try." He dropped Rory to her feet and they both crouched down to say goodbye to their daughter.

It was drawn out but as the girl left with Tara, Rory began to cry. "She'll be fine." Happy said as he picked her up again.

The song started up and sticking with their personalities Happy and Rory spun around the floor dancing and occasionally grinding up on each other.

"Tig asked me what I did." Happy growled into her ear as they moved together. "I made you mine for good." He gripped her ass. "I love you."

"I love you too, Hap."
