party time

some months later (June or July)

—————

Silvia sat at her vanity as she applied a nude shade of non-transferable lipstick to her lips. Janine was behind her, helping with her hair. Silvia had her hair styled in one big braid with a mini-braid wrapped around it.

"How's it looking, Janine?" Silvia asked.

"Your hair is perfect. Your dress is perfect, everything is looking perfect because it's your special day!" Janine said excitedly. Silvia finished applying her lipstick, then put it away.

"I'm nervous, Janine. I feel like I'm about to puke, but I'm not going to because this is a white dress." Silvia said, slumping into the back of her chair at the vanity.

"The nervous jitters will leave as soon as you see him, trust me," Janine said, smiling at her reassuringly. "I'll be back in a second."

Janine exited Silvia's room back at her and Egon's apartment (the guys were getting ready at the firehouse so Egon didn't accidentally see her before the wedding), leaving Silvia to sit alone in silence. She sighed, it was almost time to go and get married and her jitters hadn't left yet. If anything, they just got worse.

At the firehouse (chaos)

The guys were running around, trying to get themselves ready while helping Egon prepare for his special day. Egon felt like he was sweating bullets because of how nervous he was.

"Guys, how do you tie a bow tie?? I only know how to do neckties!!" Egon shouted, hoping one of them heard and was willing to help him.

"I got you," Winston said. Egon handed him the tie as Winston worked his magic. Egon looked in the bathroom mirror in awe.

"What kind of sorcery was that? You tied it so perfectly." Egon said as he flipped the collar on his white button-up shirt back down.

"A magician never reveals his secrets," Winston said before walking off. Egon thanked him before he left, then exited the bathroom and went to the kitchen to get a snack.

"Egon, are you eating out of nervousness?" Ray asked. Egon stopped eating the Cheez-its labeled with his name on them.

"No..." Egon said with his mouth stuffed. Ray shook his head and then took the Cheez-it's box out of his hands, setting it back into a cupboard.

"I know you're nervous, but you're...you. I know you'll survive. You love her, don't you?" Ray asked, Egon shook his head yes. "I know you have the courage to go and do this. You've been my friend for a long time, and I don't think I've ever seen you this happy."

"Thank you, Ray."

"Anytime."

—————

The wedding wasn't this big thing, it was just mainly friends and Winston's family. Egon stood at the altar anxiously as his friends stood next to him, Janine being the only bridesmaid. Everyone stood up as Silvia walked down the aisle, Winston's family waving hi to her.

This might be the best and most nerve-wracking moment of my life, holy crap. Silvia freaked out to herself as she walked up the small stairs to the altar. Once the priest finished reading out of his giant book, it was time for I do's.

"Silvia, do you take Egon to be your wedded husband to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health and forsaking all others, be faithful only to him so long as you both shall live?" The priest asks her.

"I do."

"Egon, do you take Silvia to be your wedded wife to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health and forsaking all others, be faithful only to her so long as you both shall live?" The priest asks him.

"I do," Egon repeats, smiling at Silvia.

"Then you may kiss your bride." The priest says, looking at Egon.

Silvia and Egon finally declare themselves Mr. and Mrs. Spengler with a kiss that makes Peter shout with happiness and Winston cry tears of joy.

"I can't thank you, guys, enough for asking me to become one of you guys. It's changed my life in so many ways, and for the better. I don't know what I'd be doing if I had just let Slimer continue to eat my soap bar." Silvia said to her husband (wow that feels so weird to write).

"I honestly didn't think I'd ever get married, but here we are. I'm so happy and grateful to be with you." Egon smiled at her before placing a kiss on her forehead. "Let's get going to our wedding party, shall we?"

"Let's go." Silvia smiled at Egon before linking arms and running down the aisle and outside to the car waiting for them.

at the party

"Wow Peter, you outdid yourself on this one. How did you book this venue in time?" Silvia asked Peter.

"Let's just say we had our first ghost-busting situation here..." Peter smiled. "I was able to bribe the people here at this hotel to let us have this space for tonight since we did them a huge favor a few years ago."

"Oh my gosh, I remember now. Our first call was together before Winston joined us. That was something." Ray chimed in.

"Enough sentimental talk. Let's party!" Peter shouted excitedly as he ran to the table with alcohol and food. Winston was kind enough to help with the music and Dana was helping with the food.

'Higher and Higher' began to play over the speakers, a song that brought back quite a few good memories, but also a scary memory of Vigo watermelon head. But today isn't about that grumpy melon head, it's about celebrating Egon and Silvia getting married and being happy together.

After that song ended, 'Straight Up' by Paula Abdul played through the speakers, which made Silvia wind herself up on the dance floor and started dancing like crazy.

Straight up now tell me

Do you really want to love me forever oh, oh, oh!

Or am I caught in a hit-and-run?

Straight up now tell me

Is it gonna be you and me together oh, oh, oh

Are you just having fun?

Silvia sang along to the lyrics while dancing energetically with Janine, who was also dancing like crazy.

Egon and the guys watched them dance while Peter secretly recorded with a video camera he snuck into the place.

"How are you feeling Spengs?" Ray asked his friend.

"What do you mean?" He questioned.

"I mean what are you feeling at this very moment? I'm sure you're pretty happy though, it is your wedding day." Ray added.

"Yes, I'm feeling very happy, but also kind of in awe of myself. I never thought I'd have a girlfriend and then get married to said girlfriend, have a successful paranormal elimination business, and be working with my wife and best friends. I always thought I'd end up alone on some farm in the middle of nowhere, just doing my own thing, ya know?" Egon explained.

"Good news is, that'll never happen. You have all of us here for you." Peter smiled, then took a sip out of a wine bottle.

Just as Egon was about to tell them how unsanitary that could be, their song, 'Out of Touch', came on the speakers, Egon made his way onto the dance floor and took Silvia's hands and arms, bringing her in for a dance.

Shake it up is all that we know

Using bodies up as we go

I'm waking up to a fantasy

The shades all around me are the colors we used to see

Silvia held one of Egons hands while her other arm wrapped around his waist and they slowly danced, everyone else watching them.

Broken ice still melts in the sun

And ties that are broken can often be one again

We're souls alone

And soul really matters to me

Silvia rested her head on Egons chest, still holding each other as they will for the rest of their lives.

You're out of touch

I'm out of time (time)

But I'm out of my head when you're not around

Silvia lifted her head from his chest, Egon and Silvia's lips meeting together in another kiss, a kiss that is only one of the many they will share until death do they part.

Technically, until they become the sole thing their business swears to get rid of:

Ghosts.

I won't be writing into Ghostbusters: Afterlife. I just don't want it to be depressing and sad yk? Also, I just don't feel like it.
