Tapper's Wedding

It was on a day about a few years after Tapper had met his female counterpart from Smurfette Island, Siobhan, that the two Smurfs decided that they wanted to be married. However, this wedding came with two stipulations -- first, that Papa Smurf would allow Tapper's human friend Father Doyle to be the minister of the wedding since he wanted to have a Christian wedding, and second, that Father Doyle would not marry either Tapper or Siobhan unless they were both Christians. Papa Smurf was willing to let Father Doyle be the minister of the wedding, but Siobhan found it difficult to accept that she had to be a Christian in order to marry Tapper. Of course, that was until Siobhan one night decided that she would pray to God for His forgiveness and to show her the way that she must go. The following morning, Tapper discovered that Siobhan looked happier than she had ever been in her life, and he sensed in his spirit that she indeed became a believer in the Almighty.

On the day of the wedding, Siobhan was in Smurfette's house with her friends Sympathy and Brenda, putting on her wedding dress which Tailor had made for her. She looked at herself in the mirror and noticed how beautiful she looked wearing the dress.

Then Brenda noticed a tear in her friend's eye. "Michty me, lassie, what are you now smurfing sad about?" she asked. "You're finally marrying the Smurf of your dreams now, aren't you?"

"I just don't know what to say at this moment, my fellow Brenda," Siobhan said. "It's like I'm marrying two people at this wedding...Tapper and his Almighty. I've already smurfed yes to one of them...I'm not sure how He would feel smurfing yes to the other."

"I'm not sure I fully understand what it means to be a Christian, Siobhan, but I have a feeling that this Almighty would fully understand that while only He can satisfy the spirit part in you, there are things that only Tapper himself can satisfy," Sympathy said.
