Last week, I wondered how anyone follows a wonderful wedding like in chapter 300? Since Saturday, the answer has been here and is equally awesome.

Once more, instead of the other option to simply say, “I love it,” I'm looking at a few but not nearly all aspects I enjoyed.

Good choice in music. The Beedls, as Elvis pronounced them, and the King himself. No, to quell any rumours that he might be alive and made a comeback at the wedding (but it sure would have been the only reason to come out of hiding in Kalamazoo) — I'm talking about the song the band played.

If it's a marriage for the ages, then Langston's speech was a speech for the ages. I was genuinely impressed. Does Langston possibly sound like Willie?

Bond, James Bond — and the A/N to it. Hilarious!

Then Casey's speech is a declaration of love and admiration, Casey-style. It not only honors the happy couple, but also himself, and it puts some much-welcomed attributes to his character.

Yes! If there was anything I knew ahead, anything I could bet my life savings on, then it was the fact that sooner or later Zyr would be flowing.

Jeff and Shelly. Awwwww. Awwww again. And “roaaar” from her side as a young one comes hopping up to Jeff, which has, as the song goes, “...little to offer but the songs they sing, And a plentiful waste of time of day.” So I'm cheering for Jeff and Shelly!

The Brides Dialogue was adorably cute. So nice to see them all happy, carefree and giddy, and all at the same time.

David and Richelle? You little rascal, you, Willie. Much, much deserved for the “old” couple.

It wouldn't be Willie if we didn't get a dose of serious thought, or rather, Chuck receives it from Morgan. And it's a valid thought that someone like Chuck will return to — after the honeymoon. Or pondering it instead of baseball statistics when the little woman gets too wild.

Finally, like a good Marine leaving no one behind, Willie delivers a sweet, virtuoso plot twist. Those last moments of the chapter are Kleenex-worthy too (and I'm not meaning to sound raunchy and don't refer to what Miss Miller has in mind). Carina and Yuri? Read that chapter and you'll shout a resounding “Yes”. You got my approval, Willie!

All left for me to do is to paraphrase a line from the chapter: "To the Chuck and Sarah and Ellie and Devon, and to the Willie giving us this chapter."
— Now, do you think they left some of that Zyr somewhere?

R/N (reviewer's note): The song quoted is Kurt Weill's “September Song”, with lyrics by Maxwell Anderson, best listened to as performed by FAS, Francis Albert Sinatra.

What a fun chapter. The celebration after the emotional high of the weddings in the previous installment. Everyone relaxing and having a good time. Except for the newlyweds, perhaps. Being the center of attention comes with some responsibilities and that means being pulled in all directions with little time to eat or even take a deep breath. Notice that I didn't mention drink in the last sentence because it's pretty clear that Ellie and Sarah, both, had ample opportunities to do that. It was great seeing the normally self-controlled women being tipsy and acting silly, rambling their thanks-yous, their excitement and exuberance getting the better of them. Just like real people do in those situations. lol.

It was especially poignant to see Carina and Yuri together. Her subplot in New Day has been fantastic to follow. She's still Carina but a much more nuanced Carina than in canon and a much more of a believable friend to Sarah because of your alterations and additions. Then there's your ongoing rehabilitation of Jeff. You've allowed him some distance from Lester and given him a chance to grow beyond what they did in canon. He's even got an accomplished and hot woman interested in him. Thumbs up!

Much like the wedding, you gave a number of supporting characters a chance to hold center stage for a bit. Morgan's observations about Chuck's squeamishness were very interesting to read. Will they have an impact on Chuck's actions in future chapters? We'll have to wait and see. Graham's and Stephen's and Casey's speeches took just the right tone, given how you've painted their characters in ND. Of course, Molly and Jimmy's antics added their own bits of innocent humor to the festivities. Thanks for the shoutout, but any input I provided was miniscule at best.

David and Richelle showing up was a very nice surprise. We all owe him a debt of gratitude for everything he does for our community.

The wedding nights (and all of the various hook-ups) await. Not to mention, the brunch and the beginning of the honeymoons. Smooth sailing or are rough seas on the horizon? Can't wait to find out. Thanks for sharing, my friend.

Carina and Yuri were a nice surprise. Ellie and Sarah were having a blast.

Just binged chapters 300 and 301 back-to-back like a sleep-deprived Netflix addict, and wow—what a milestone! Honestly, I was hoping the Cannon wedding would spoil us a bit more—give us the big speeches, the chaotic-yet-perfect party, maybe someone crying in the cake. But hey, David Carner showing up? Perfect. That was a classy touch. I mentioned this in another review, but it totally applies here too: it’s the little moments that hit hardest—the charm bracelet, the cell phone fix, the ballerina’s dad getting saved, that red-slash-salmon dress, and those vows. Those details don’t just connect us to the characters—they pull us into the Cannon universe like honorary guests at the wedding. This fanfic community is truly the best. Big thanks to Willie Garvin—your work makes our hearts fuller and our tabs more crowded!

Well done, keep going

Carina and Yuri works, we know Yuri can take a punch but can he hang with Carina in bed?!Sounds like an awesome party, and congrats to the Carners for crashing the coolest party of the year! Lol

Jorge and Anna is a great mix too! Stand by for fireworks there!

Thanks WG! Looking forward to brunch and what I’m sure will be a totally normal, chill, honeymoon!

Another great chapter, especially Ellie and Sarah’s speech. That made me laugh and reminded me of my wife and sister at our own wedding giving a 15 minute rambling thank you. My grand niece did the same thing but would take one petal at a time an place it on the floor. Weddings are all about memory and you brought two wonderful chapters.

Amazing, you painted a beautiful wedding with just your words. How you were able to place everyone in the church and the emotions that they are wearing on their face. Thank you for the joy you bring us readers.

Shane O'Neill fantastic chapter back to back chapter of Chuck and Sarah double wedding with Ellie and Devon it was beautiful hopefully some more amazing time with the couple during their honeymoon

wonderful reception. Can't wait to see what comes next

It’s an interesting point from Morgan, and a bit of a callback to the scene with Lizzie where he set it up for Sarah to finish her off (assuming that I’m not conflating that scene with a different FF). Then again, Sarah did the same with Bryce and Mauser.

That was a ton of fun. Its funny how awesome Graham is in this, and I like how you handle Stephen a lot too.

Very satisfying, just as it should be.

Been waiting for Yuri and Carina to hook up. Never thought about Yuri's eye. I'm pretty surprised Carina doesn't know Russian, but that will change soon I guess.
When you brought in the anniversary couple I was expecting Chuck to flash on them as the start of the next mission!

Brilliant chapter , loved all the speeches, but caseys was my favourite, and loving yuri and carina , looking forward to more

Very wholesome
