By the time nightfall hit, the guests had decided that it was time to head back home. As they gradually left the ballroom, they thanked George and Pattie for inviting them and wished the couple well once again. Before long, the only ones who remained were John, Paul, Ringo, Laura, and Sparkie while Spencer was busy cleaning up. George said, "Well, me mates, I can conclude that we have officially entered a new chapter in our lives. I'm veddy happy to be a married man!" Ringo replied, "We are, too, Geo. You've rightfully earned it!" Sparkie made a noise that sounded like he was saying, "Absolutely!"...

Everyone had a blast during the reception, which lasted all throughout the afternoon. George and Pattie were more than happy to mingle with the guests while they congratulated and wished them the very best for their new life together. The triple layer chocolate wedding cake was also an instant hit as the former took some photos before he and his wife did the cutting. "Mmm... I must say combining all three kinds of chocolate for your cake was a bloody creative idea, Geo!" remarked John as they ate. George replied, "I thought so, too! Of course, this wouldn't have been possible without Spencer's...

The wait was finally over as the sound of a car being parked was heard from outside. "Yes! They're here!" exclaimed Paul, who then went straight to play the entrance music on piano. First to enter was Laura, skipping merrily as she scattered blue and purple flowers all over the aisle. Next came in Ringo, who carried the wedding rings on a small velvety cushion. Then, at last, there was George and Pattie. All smiles and looking fabulous in their attire (complete with the former wearing a top hat and the fuzzy coat he bought from Ireland). "She is so beautiful." whispered Keith. Brian and Mick...

April 5, 1967

Fitzrovia Chapel was now bustling with excitement on the big day, and John did an excellent job in leading all of the guests to their respective seats. Aside from the families of both the groom and bride (with Louise managing to catch a plane four days earlier and the latter consisting of her parents and sister Jenny) as well as the three Stones members, there was Mike McCartney and the photographer from Pattie's modeling agency. Acting as the minister was Dr. Robert, who brought along a Bible for when the couple say their "I do's". He asked Paul, "So just to clarify, at what time...

The day before the wedding was, as expected, celebrated with George's stag party. And not only did John serve as its host, but the lads were also visited by three members (Brian Jones, Keith Richards, and Mick Jagger) of The Rolling Stones, another popular rock band in the country! George said, "Hiya, mates! I take it you got the invitations to me and Pattie's wedding, eh?" Keith replied, "You betcha, Geo! We'd also like to wish you and your future wife a bright future ahead!" Brian added, "Not to mention she sounds like one lovely lady!" George replied, "Oh, she sure is indeed, Bri!" Ringo...

Another month later...

After their birthdays had come and gone, the couple spent the last day of March with a joyride around London while Laura hung out with her uncles. In addition, by this point, all of those names which were written on their guest list had already accepted the invitation cards sent to them. Pattie said, "It still amazes me how I would end up crossing paths with a Beatle, and now, I'm getting married to him in just a few days!" George replied, "You certainly are, sweetheart! You'll also be excited to know that me mates and I have decided to do a jam session for the post-ceremony...

While strolling among the flowers, George told Pattie about his quick chat with the fans. "As you may have observed, those ladies were very sweet, and they're just as happy for us tying the knot!" She replied, "Yeah, I noticed that. It made me smile, too!" "Great!" he remarked back. Laura said, "And I mustn't forget to mention that they felt the same thing about my father adopting me after our visit to Hampton Court three years ago!" Pattie said, "Oh, how splendid, my dear!" George said, "Yes, Laura, darling! I also remember that. It's lovely!" She responded with a big smile. The trio then spent the remainder of the day by paying a stop inside the wide, well-kept lawn of Kensington Palace.

The trio enjoyed a relaxing view from the Serpentine Lake Bridge before crossing over to Kensington Gardens. Just then, George saw a roller skating group which turned out to be the same girls he had encountered in Hampton Court Palace three years ago. He greeted them after gesturing to Pattie and Laura that he'll be back in about fifteen minutes, "Hello again, ladies! Long time no see!" One of the girls replied, "Oh, Hi Georgie! What's up?" George said, "I'm getting meself prepared for the happiest day of my life! You see that blonde-haired bird over there with Laura? She has been my girlfriend...

As he had promised, George made those phone calls in the morning that followed. Then, at around an hour before noon, the lovebirds had a coffee break in Hyde Park while Laura did some jogging. George said, "So about the cake, I have requested Spencer from the Cadbury factory in Birmingham to make it a triple layer one with the top being made from milk chocolate, the middle white, and the bottom dark. How's that, love?" Pattie replied, "Ooooh, that sounds so luxurious, darling! I'm excited to taste it!" George replied, "So am I!" He then continued, "And our honeymoon destination of Scotland has been settled, too. The royals will even reserve two seats on their airship for us as newlyweds!" "Absolutely splendid!" exclaimed Pattie. "That also means the details for our wedding are nearing completion." "Right as rain, Pattie. Right as rain!" remarked George. They soon finished their coffee and shared a sweet kiss.

Next morning and shortly after breakfast, the trio proceeded to Fitzrovia Chapel for the wedding rehearsals. "Wowsers! This place is bloody magnificent, daddy George!" exclaimed Laura as she marveled at both the stained glass windows and ceiling. George replied, "It sure is, Laura, darling! Just perfect for the ceremony!" Pattie added, "Not to mention quite a popular venue for those tying the knot!" Laura said, "Yeah, I can see why you decided to have yours here as well. Excellent choice!" George smiled and said, "Thanks, dear! We're glad ye think so." Pattie nodded in agreement. The rehearsal itself went very well, concluding with the lovebirds sharing a kiss near the altar. They then spent the rest of the day exploring the chapel's location, which is better known as Pearson Square.

After parting ways with his mates, George drove back to Kinfauns. "How did the meeting go, honey?" asked Pattie a couple of minutes later. He replied, "It went great, sweetheart! I have assigned John, Paul, and Ringo with their individual roles for our wedding." Pattie replied, "Awesome! I'm happy to know about that." George then told his daughter, "And as for yours, Laura, darling, you'll be our veddy own flower girl!" She exclaimed, "Wonderful, daddy George! I always figured I'd get to be one. Thank you!" He smiled and kissed her on the forehead. "You're welcome, my dear." Laura smiled back....

A month had passed since George and Pattie were officially engaged, and I am happy to say that preparing for the big day has been going smoothly for them thus far. Aside from setting the date and writing down their guest list, the latter began staying overnight in Kinfauns at least twice a week as a way of getting herself ready for their new life together.

One day, the soon-to-be groom met with the other Beatles (who were overjoyed after telling them about the news) at Abbey Road Studios to discuss about their roles in the coming ceremony. George said, "So John, in addition to leading our guests...

The Beatles, Laura, and Pattie then spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying the snow in the backyard. Paul said, "I think we can all agree that this has been a bloody spectacular year for us!" Ringo replied, "Most definitely! We've had so many memorable moments to the point where I'm not sure if I could even pick a favourite among them." Sparkie made a noise that sounded like he was saying, "I know!" John added, "And something tells me we've got a wedding to prepare for by the time next year arrives, too!" George said, "Correct-a-mundo, mate! I was just about to say that myself." John responded...

"So that's the end of the story! We hope you enjoyed listening to it. Once again, Gary Crimble and many Rudolphs, Beatle people! See you all in the next year!", said John as he delivered the closing remarks to their Christmas message. The room was soon filled with loud claps and cheers. Laura said, "That was bloody amazing, uncle John! I had a great time playing my role!" Pattie added, "So did I, darling!" George remarked, "Make that three of us, me ladies! I'd even say that out of the messages we've recorded thus far, this year's was the absolute best!" Ringo replied, "Can't complain there,...

THUMP! "Spirit! Let me out! Let me out! I'll..." Just when Scrooge thought he had fallen to his doom, he came out of his blanket and breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing that he was back in his bedroom again. Not only that, but it was finally Christmas morning, too! Scrooge remarked after opening the window, "Thank goodness that was only a bad dream... Wait! This also means..." A wide smile then ran across his face (followed by a joyful jump) as he exclaimed, "YES!!! The spirits have given me another chance! I better go and spread as much holiday cheer as possible!" And in a flash, he freshened...

After the mist had cleared up, Scrooge found himself in a gloomy cemetery. He looked around and was surprised by a mysterious cloaked figure standing behind him, who then removed his hood to show his real face. He said, "Hello. I'm the Ghost of Christmas Future (Felix the Yeoman Warder)." Scrooge replied, "Oh, I should've guessed." The Ghost continued, "I see you've already learned quite a lot from those two spirits, eh? Well, it's not over yet; as you are about to see the consequences of your actions!" Scrooge nodded in response. He then asked, "Is it true that my employee's child will die...

"Woe is me! I had a promising future with my lovely lady and I gave them all up!", lamented Scrooge as he was back on his bed. At that moment, he heard the ringing of a bell along with a jovial voice coming from the living room. "Come one, come all! There's a glorious feast right in store for you! Huh, huh, huh, yeah (This may sound familiar if you watch the Beatles Cartoon)!" Scrooge did become speechless for a while upon seeing all that sumptuous food: Roasted turkey, pigs in blankets, mince pies, and even Christmas pudding! The second visitor then noticed him and said, "Why it's a pleasure...

At around 1:00 am, Scrooge found himself awakened by a glowing yellow light. "That must be coming from the first of those three spirits.", he thought. And indeed, it was. "Greetings, old chap! I'm the Ghost of Christmas Past (Dr. Robert - Remember him from "The Mystery of the Haunted Pier"?), and I have come to show you how your actions played a part in shaping you into the man you are today." Scrooge was nervous at first, but replied, "As you wish, spirit. Though, how are you gonna do that?" The Ghost said, "Simple! Here, hold my hand." What followed was quite possibly the wildest sky ride...

After continuing his work for the remainder of the day, Scrooge went back home just before midnight. However, as he made his way upstairs, he was startled by what sounded like rattling chains and a ghostly moan. He then tried locking the door and taking cover underneath the living room table, but those didn't work. "Eeebenezer Scrooge, where are you?", said the ghost as it finally appeared. This turned out to be none other than his former business partner! "Ah, there ye are! I have come to tell you something important." Still shuddering, Scrooge replied, "W-w-what are you doing here? How did...

The story begins on December 24 in Victorian London. Everyone was filled with the holiday spirit as they were getting ready for tomorrow. This, unfortunately, was not the case for a grumpy and surly money-lender named Ebenezer Scrooge. He had outrightly declined his nephew Fred's (Peter Harrison) Christmas dinner invitation as well as a donation offered by two gentlemen (Mike McCartney and Harry Harrison), who were fundraising for the poor. By the time Scrooge returned to his office, Bob Cratchit (his underpaid employee) had just finished work and was preparing to go home. He cheerfully greeted...
