Where we are: The family is gathering in the Everglades for Stu and Amanda’s wedding.The ceremony will be on the beach with reception following in the swamp. They finally got all the details straightened out. The only problem is that Stu didn’t make it home from the bachelor party, and no one knows where he is. Amanda, the bride, and Vinny, Stu’s son, are fighting. You can read Part 1 here and Part 2 here.
Amanda: I knew a bachelor party was a bad idea. How did you lose your father?
Vinny: I didn’t lose him. We all left together. I don’t know why he didn’t get on the boat.
Amanda: Didn’t you check to make sure he was on the boat before you left?
Vinny: He was right behind me. I don’t know what happened.
Amanda: Well you need to find him. The wedding is in two days.
Vinny was angry. Why did his father always disappear when something important was happening. He had never met another gator who was so likely to disappear with no notice. Someone knocked at the door.
Amanda: Stu! Where have you been? We’ve been worried sick about you!
Stu: Honey, I’ve told you never to worry about me. I get sidetracked but eventually I always find my way home.
Amanda: Thank goodness! Vinny and I were worried sick. I thought he’d left you behind.
Stu: Technically, he did. When we were leaving, he spent so much time talking at the dock, that I decided to use the washroom. He was just pulling out. I guess he couldn’t hear me over the motor.
Amanda: How did you get back?
Stu: A very nice otter brought me back on his raft.
Vinny: We’re glad you made it home.
Stu: I always do. You worry too much.
The wedding was held two days later on the beach. The bear in charge created a beautiful ceremony. Afterward, everyone went to the Everglades Inn for the reception.Stu had managed to get his old band Acrocalypse to play. Amanda wasn’t a huge fan of punk croc music, but she agreed to a compromise. Her string quartet played during dinner, and Stu’s buddies played afterwards.
Adele: That was a lovely wedding, don’t you think?
Stan: It went much smoother than I expected.
Justine: Where are they going for their honeymoon?
Adele: I don’t know. We can ask them when they come by.
A while later.
Stan: Here’s the happy couple. Congratulations!
Stu: Thank you. I thought it went well.
Amanda: The weather was perfect.
Suzy: Where are you going for your honeymoon?
Stu and Amanda answered together.
Amanda: Grand Cayman.
Stu: Grand Canyon.
They looked at each other and started to laugh.
Stu: I guess we’ll have to look at the tickets when we get back to our room.

So all is well, the ceremony was beautiful, all the guests liked the happening. That honeymoon trip, better the Grand Cayman, Grand Canyon is too dry for them.
And Grand Cayman is home to a lot of Cuban crocodiles. The food is probably better.
A well deserved happy ending x😽🐈🐈⬛🐊🐊
Amanda is the perfect mate for Stu.
Ah….all went well. I was concerned for a bit but …lovely wedding and the happy couple are off to ??? and going to have a fab time.
Things always seem to work out for Stu. 🙂
conga ratz two ewe both, heerz ta yeerz a head filled with happeez. me N de gurl cracked up…punk croc ‼️‼️😺 good one 🐟 heerz two a grate week a head 💙💚😺
Thank you! They appear very well matched.
Wherever they wind up going, I am sure it will be Grand.
Exactly!
I’d like to hear some of this punk croc music you speak of!
They no longer play for humans. There was an unfortunate incident in the mosh pit a while back.
You mean the “gnosh pit”? I’ll see myself out…
That’s funny. It figures the guy would want to go camping in the Grand Canyon for a honeymoon!
Uncle Stu is not good at details.
Do bears and crocodiles get along? (Enough for one to officiate the other’s wedding ceremony?)
Only in Cheeseland. Alligators see pretty much everything as food.
Congrats to Uncle Stu and his new bride. Hope they have a grand time wherever they go on their honeymoon. XO
Thank you! They are looking forward to getting away
We love a happy ending!
Thank you! Stu and Amanda seem very happy together
