A Wedding To Remember/Part 5

By evening, most of the male Smurfs have gathered in the dining hall for the bachelor party that was set up by Duncan McSmurf and his friend Tapper, who provided the drinks for everybody. Twanger, Fiddler, Piper, and Drummer joined together to perform music for the Smurfs and their guest of honor to dance to.

"May I smurf a toast to our fellow woodelf Woody, who's about to be smurfed with his lovely bride tomorrow," Duncan said as soon as everybody in the room had a glass of sarsaparilla ale in hand. "I may not know how he has smurfed the heart of the silent lass, but may he smurf plenty of years to enjoy whatever pleasures that woodelves smurf with each other as husband and wife, and that they will be faithful to each other until they join their fellow woodelves that have smurfed before them in their own paradise from this world."

"Here, here," all the Smurfs said together as they raised their glasses and drank their ale.

Woody took a sip of his ale and was amazed by its taste. "Wow, I didn't know that something this tasty that you Smurfs drink could be this powerful."

"Be careful of how much you smurf of the ale, my fellow Woody," Tapper said. "I do not know how much of it woodelves can smurf before they become completely drunk."

"Ah, just let the boy enjoy himself tonight, laddie," Duncan said. "He's going to need all the strength he can to endure that moment waiting for him at Bluebell Dell."

Then as the music started and the Smurfs began to dance, Woody asked, "Have any of you Smurfs thought about marrying Smurfette, since she's the only female in the village?"

"Oh, I think a good deal of us live and breathe that thought every day, Woody," Tapper said. "It's just that Smurfette hasn't chosen for herself which Smurf she would want to settle down with."

"Aye, and with about a hundred of us all smurfing for her heart, it's going to be a tough decision for her indeed," Duncan said. "Mind you, some of the Smurfs here aren't exactly prize material for a lassie like our angel in blue, but even they aren't smurfing up on the thought that maybe Smurfette is going to choose them."

"I guess I must be lucky then," Woody said. "Woodelves aren't exactly as plentiful as you Smurfs are, so there doesn't seem to be much competition. But then, I've never met a woodelf who can only communicate with her hands before."

"You are indeed special if you can smurf the heart of someone who can smurf past her difficulties to communicate how she feels towards you, my friend," Tapper said.

"Oops," Clumsy said as he tripped over his feet and knocked over Woody. "Uh, sorry there, Woody. I was just so busy smurfing myself a good time that I couldn't smurf where I was dancing."

"That's all right, Clumsy," Woody said as soon as he picked himself up.

As soon as Clumsy got back on his feet and started dancing again, Tapper and Duncan continued talking with Woody. "There's a fine example of a laddie who won't let difficulties smurf in the way of having fun, Woody," Duncan said, directing his attention to Clumsy.

"You think Smurfette might marry someone like Clumsy someday?" Woody asked.

"If that's who Smurfette finds the most attractive in spite of who and what he is, then I don't see why she wouldn't, my fellow Woody," Tapper said. "But what matters most of all to me is seeing that Smurfette is happy with her life, no matter who in the village she might smurf with as her future husband."

"Or even if she doesn't smurf herself a husband, which is the last thing I would want to see for Smurfette," Duncan said.
