Hefty, The Luckiest Smurf/Part 6

Empath continued to watch what Traveler was revealing through the timeline they were traveling through. "This one is sensing the sadness of watching Smurfette grow apart from what you are desiring to have with her, Empath, even knowing that your alternate self is now intimate with someone else," Traveler said.

"This smurf admits that watching this alternate history is not easy for this smurf to endure, Traveler," Empath said. "How are you able to watch all these histories that you explore without finding yourself to be an active part of it?"

"There is much about my history that you are not meant to know at this time, Empath," Traveler said. "My role as the guardian of Smurf history does leave this one jealous for actively taking a part in that history, that this one cannot make any changes in the history lest it would disrupt any future events in the long run."

"Then it would be out of the question for this smurf to request for you to make any changes regarding this smurf having to live his life in Psychelia," Empath said, realizing what Traveler was talking about.

"Your life in Psychelia is part of the history that this one must protect at all costs, despite how you would feel otherwise," Traveler said. "In time you will understand how it fits in with the future that you and your fellow Smurfs will someday live through."

Then Traveler took Empath a bit further into an important day in this alternate timeline: the day of Smurfette's wedding. Every Smurf was gathered around at the altar set up for the ceremony, with Papa Smurf as the presiding minister ready to marry her to her future husband. Hefty Smurf was dressed in a sparkling tuxedo, anxiously waiting for his bride to come to the altar. Beside him was Handy, who was chosen as his best man, and Duncan McSmurf and Tuffy, who were his ushers.

Then the wedding march played, and all the Smurfs and their guests turned to see Smurfette being brought to the altar by Brainy, who was her escort. Smurfette looked beautiful in her wedding gown, which made Empath feel just a little bit jealous. Following them was Flowerbell, who was the matron of honor, Laconia and Lilac, who were the bridesmaids, Sassette, who was the flower girl, and Snappy, who was the ringbearer. Hefty smiled as Smurfette now stood beside him and he lifted the veil to see her beautiful face smiling back at him with eyes of love.

"My little Smurfs, as both your Papa Smurf and the leader of this village," Papa Smurf began, "it smurfs me great pleasure to smurf the long-awaited privilege of smurfing these two fine Smurfs together in the bonds of smurfy matrimony. As it was smurfed in the beginning, so shall it smurf by the decree of nature, that male and female shall be smurfed together as one so that they may be fruitful with the blessings of love and family. I know how eager the both of you are in wanting to smurf eterntiy with each other. However, if there is any Smurf who feels that these two should not be smurfed together in marriage, please smurf now or forever hold your smurf!"

Every Smurf looked at each other and wondered if they should say anything to keep the couple from being married to each other, but in the end none of them said a word.

"If there are no objections, then let us proceed," Papa Smurf said. "Hefty Smurf, do you take Smurfette to be your smurfully-wedded wife, to cherish, honor, and obey, in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, for better and for worse, to love her as long as you both shall smurf?"

"Oh, yes, I do, Papa Smurf," Hefty said.

"And Smurfette, do you take Hefty Smurf to be your smurfully-wedded husband, to cherish, honor, and obey, in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, for better and for worse, to love him as long as you both shall smurf?"

"I do, Papa Smurf," Smurfette said.

Papa Smurf then called forth Snappy. He raised up the pillow which contained the rings that Smithy Smurf has forged for them. "These rings made of gold will show that the two of you are insmurfably bound to each other for all time. You will smurf your own vows and in turn smurf the ring on the other's finger."

Hefty was the first to take the ring. "Smurfette, from the day I met you, I knew that we would smurf together for all time as Smurf and wife someday, and you have made me a better Smurf for it." He then placed the ring on Smurfette's finger. "With this ring, I vow that, from the smurfs of my own soul, to be the kind of Smurf that you want me to be, to smurf you everything that your heart desires no matter the cost, to make you the one and only Smurf that I will always love above all others."

Smurfette took the second ring. "Hefty, from the moment I smurfed eyes on you, I smurfed as if my Prince Smurfing has come at last, that you are a brave and strong Smurf who would always smurf to my rescue and that you would never fail to protect me." She then placed the ring on Hefty's finger. "With this ring, I vow that, from everything that I smurf within me, I will be the Smurfette that you want me to be...to smurf you a home and a family that will always love you, and to have you as the one and only Smurf that I will always smurf above all others."

"Then, by the powers smurfed in me by Mother Nature and Father Time, who smurf before us as witnesses, and by all the Smurfs who have smurfed throughout the ages, I shall pronounce that Hefty Smurf and Smurfette are now husband and wife," Papa Smurf said. "May this bond between them smurf for all time!"

Every Smurf in the audience cheered wildly at the pronouncement, while Tapper thrust his fist in the air to show his approval.

"And now you may kiss the bride," Papa Smurf said to Hefty.

Again the audience cheered and clapped their hands as they saw Hefty kiss Smurfette with a very passionate kiss.

"This is just so beautiful, I can't stop crying," Weepy said.

"I hate crying at weddings," Grouchy said.
