Empath's Wedding

"Empath's Wedding" is a story that takes place in the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series. It is an expansion of what took place in the epilogue of the novel.

Plot Summary
Empath and Smurfette decide that, after ten years of a relationship with each other, it was time for the both of them to get married. Most of the male Smurfs in the village react to this news with a bit of shock, but after the shock wears off, they help set up the best wedding to wish their very best to the two Smurfs. However, Hefty Smurf is the most affected by Empath and Smurfette's decision to get married, as he realizes that Smurfette would never fall in love with him no matter what and that there was nothing he could give either of them except grief because of his jealousy. Flowerbell, Periwinkle, Laconia, the Pussywillow Pixies, Marina, and Blue Eyes show up as Smurfette's guests. On the day of the wedding, Smurfette is kidnapped by Chlorhydris, who seeks to destroy this happy day for the both of them, and even worse has taken Smurfette's heart so that she would have no desire to marry Empath or any Smurf at all. Hefty decides that the best wedding gift he could offer Empath and Smurfette at that point is to help Empath rescue Smurfette and to give up his heart so that Smurfette would feel for Empath again. Chlorhydris becomes so frustrated with her failure to stop the wedding that she sends the Smurfs back to the village where they proceed with the ceremony. Smurfette admires Hefty's courage and willingness to give up his heart for her, choosing to sacrifice his own happiness for that of his friends, and Hefty decides at that point that he is better off being Empath's friend, thus ending his hostility towards Empath.
