THE MARRIAGE UPON THE BLACK PEARL
by Melissa and Sarah
If the citizens of Port Royal were shocked That Elizabeth Swann would finally be getting Married,they'd be even more shocked over who she chose to marry
The Black Pearl was docked and bedecked in the Wedding Ceremony attire for any ship there had been Lavenders flower petals and Purple candles in the water
The Bride sat nervously from her station ,she had chosen a different dress then from her wedding to Will it would only be fair and the Dress she was now wearing was Much more elegant then the old discarded one,She Was Nervous not because she was afraid her groom would get a sudden case of cold Feet
she had come to know the Real Jack Sparrow ,she knew he was a good man that he had no intention of leaving her at the alter,No she was nervous because everytime she was even close to getting Married they would be interrupted and she knew there was no love lost between Jack and Cutler Beckett of course Elizabeth couldnt blame Jack much Given the situation at the time she would have done the exact same thing
After all, she new how much personal freedom meant to Jack, and to see those poor people being made slaves in such a cruel manor just went against everything he believed in. Anyone who truly knew Jack Sparrow would know that, and would not be surprised that he had fought against such injustice. That was part of what she loved about him.
She understood the need to be free. Most of her life had been about living up to other people’s expectations, and being a proper lady. And as she had gotten older she had struggled against that with more and more fever, needing to feel like she could finally breathe fresh air again. It had been like a constant present corset, and ironically enough, the real corset was not the only one Jack removed the day he rescued her. It was a beginning, and since that day she had finally begun to feel like she could truly breathe. She had finally been free. She had never thought that she would end up marrying him though. But as time had passed, and after having spend a lot of alone time with him on that bloody island they were marooned on, he had started to dominate her thoughts on a regular basis. And when her and Will had said goodbye to him, and watched him sailing off into the sunset, she had been happy for him. But she soon found that with him gone came an unexplainable longing to see him again, the hope that maybe one day he’d have business in Port Royal again, and she’d get to see him once more.
She had told herself that it was her need for adventure; that she was secretly hoping that with Jack came a new adventure. But when she had finally been reunited with him she had to admit to herself that she really didn’t care what they were doing, the only thing that meant anything was that he was there. Seeing him again was like waking from a dream. Suddenly she could remember the freedom she craved; she could remember how to laugh and have fun.
“Miss Swann” Anna-Maria smiled, and Elizabeth looked at her.
“Elizabeth” she corrected with a smile that might have seemed more genuine had she not been so nervous.
“Elizabeth” Anna-Maria nodded. “It’s time to get married”
Elizabeth took a deep breath before nodding and standing up. She kept praying that nothing would ruin this; that she wouldn’t have to endure another failed attempt at getting married.
“I’ll just hurry down to find my spot. Come on out in a minute” Anna-Maria told her.
She nodded, and smiled slightly. It would happen very soon, unless something unexpected should occur. In a short while she would actually be able to call herself Mrs. Sparrow. It sounded perfect she thought. She decided that Anna-Maria had been given enough time and opened the door to step out on deck and be married to the man she loved.
All eyes were directed at her as she made her entrance, and everyone was smiling at her. She smiled as she made her way down the middle, towards the man waiting for her at the end. He smiled at her, and her heart fluttered. This could really be the day she got married! She took his hand when she reached him.
“You look so beautiful luv” he said softly and kissed her cheek. "Absolutely gorgeous!"
“You look rather good yourself” she smiled.
Jack smiled back at her as he said "Yes apparently they tell me I clean up Pretty nice"
she smiled back at him as she whispered "I always thought you were Pretty handsome Jack"
"Not always Luv" was what he had replied back .The Minister began the Ceremony "dearly beloved we are gathered here today......" He looked at the happy couple as he went on "If theres anyone here who would protest to this wedding speak now or forever hold your peace"
Elizabeth held her breath,she wasnt so much worried about Will speaking up He had long given up on Her and Now was quite happy dating AnnaMaria ,No it was the other women in Jacks past that she was afraid of They werent exactly acceptable human beings ,she was quite worried they'd speak up,thankfully however they did not,she breathed a sigh of relief..
From her vantage point in the audience Scarlett let out a little snort as she Looked at Gizelle "How long do you think this marriage will Last?"
Gizelle smirked back "I dont know shall we bet on it" she then smirked back as she looked at Scarlett "How Much do you want to bet they are only getting Married because they Have to *she does finger qoutes as she says the last part*
Scarlett smiled "that Must be the case because You and I both know Jack Sparrow is not marriage material what makes her so special"
Gizelle laughed "yes I hear tell that she Is Pregnant" Scarlett wasnt the least bit suprised over that news
Gov Swann smiled at his daughter,she looked so beautiful and it was true Jack Sparrow did clean up rather nicely ,When he had gotten the news that She was Marrying Jack Gov Swann was not to pleased but upon seeing how happy they were and How Elizabeth kept telling him that Jack was a good man He began to grow to like the Man, He liked him even more upon hearing how many times He'd save Elizabeths life even telling Him he'd stop at nothing to do it again.He looked at the couple again this was it his only Daughter was getting Married He didnt know whether or not this made him sad Or Happy,One of his servants broke his thoughts "Sir If I may" the Gov nodded "think of it this way ,your not losing a daughter you're gaining a son"
After the ceremony people congratulated the happy couple, and then most of them left. A few, however, were invited to stay for a little gathering. Elizabeth was talking to her father, and she was looking so happy. Jack still couldn’t believe that she was now his wife. He smiled and went to get some rum when he overheard a conversation.
“I really think it’s a shame. I mean, marriage is one thing, but becoming a father?!”
“I know” Giselle agreed with Scarlett. “He must be devastated. But he had to do the right thing by her, didn’t he?”
“Actually” Jack cut in charmingly, “I didn’t have to do anything, seeing as my wife is not pregnant at this point”
“But….”Scarlett stuttered, surprised by his presence.
“I fell in love” he told them. “Now, let me get you fine ladies a drink”
He left them to go get drinks, and couldn’t hide his amusement. They had been utterly baffled by his sudden appearance, and the looks on their faces had been priceless. He couldn’t blame them though. Captain Jack Sparrow falling in love had always been considered impossible, even by himself. But as he looked at his wife he knew that all it took was for the right woman to come along. And Elizabeth Swann had been everything he could have ever hoped to find, and then some. He took a couple of glasses to take to the girls when his father-in-law made an appearance.
“It was a nice ceremony” the governor complimented.
“That it was” Jack smiled. “Care for something to drink?”
“No thank you Jack” he politely declined. “I’m afraid I don’t have quite the stamina that you posses” he smiled fondly.
“Aye” Jack laughed softly. “It takes years of practice sir”
“No formalities here” the governor told him.
“Of course not” Jack gestured charmingly. “If you’ll excuse me, I have to take these to the two ladies over there”
“Naturally” he assured his son-in-law.
“Oh” Jack said, and turned around. “I don’t believe I’ve ever thanked you”
“For what son?”
“For giving me your daughter” Jack told him.
“Seeing her happy is more than enough” the governor smiled. “I’d like to keep that look on her face”
“As would I” Jack agreed. “As would I”
Elizabeth smiled as her now husband finally made his way back to her
she had seen the Look of Shock on Scarlett and Gizelles faces at the news that Captain Jack had actually fallen in love and now was a Happily married man she couldnt help but Smirk "They dont look to happy"
He kissed her to the dismay and Sadness of the two other women who had been watching "They'll get over it My sweet"
She gave him a passionate kiss back "Yes well they're going to have to Just as Will had to get over me"
Jack gave her a look as he grinned "ah yes Where is the Young Whelp you'd think he'd be happy for you"
Elizabeth smiled "He is ,its just that His Pirate adventure was more important"
Jack smiled as he thought of those memories,of a time when he himself would rather go on an adventure rather then go to a wedding ,Boy had times changed.
out of a corner of an eye Elizabeth saw AnaMaria sittting lonely on the edge of the Dock "She doesnt look to happy that Wills not her though"
Jack drew his new bride closer to him as he saw Ana drink a cup of Rum "nothing a little Rum cant fix" He slowly danced with his new Wife in the moonlight,She Kissed him with passion again
“Goodbye sweetheart” the governor smiled at his daughter. “It was really nice seeing you again. I do hope you’ll come back soon”
“As often as we can find the time” Jack assured him.
“Goodbye father” Elizabeth smiled. “Thank you for everything”
“No thanks needed” her father told her.
“Goodbye James” she smiled at Norrington.
“Goodbye Mrs. Sparrow” he smiled. “I don’t think I’ll ever get quite used to calling you that” he admitted amused.
“It’s Elizabeth” she reminded him fondly.
“Elizabeth” he nodded.
“And with that heartfelt goodbye we shall leave you” Jack told them in his cocky way. “Do try not to miss me to much while I’m gone Mr. Norrington”
“I will do my best” Norrington told him sarcastically.
“I knew he’d warm up to me” he told his wife, and she laughed as she went aboard The Black Pearl.
“I’m sure you did” she told him.
“Anna-Maria!” Jack yelled as he came aboard.
