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...

George and his future wife decided to spend a bit of private time together near the duck pond while Laura and the Queen shared a laugh at her Corgis getting the zoomies, just before the day drew to a close. Philip, on the other hand, did a little ranger work by checking the progress of some newly-planted trees in the area. Pattie said as she looked at her ring again, "This has been such a fantastic day, darling! Not only did we get really good advice for our marriage from the royals, but that airship of theirs gave us an idea on where we can spend our honeymoon as well." George replied, "I...

For the next few hours into the afternoon, the group explored the castle's Great Park by way of a straight trail in the middle of the grass, which is better known as the Long Walk. While the ladies had their own quality time, George asked Philip (who also works as the Ranger), "Did the airship go through any test flights?" He replied, "Why yes, it did. As a matter of fact, that's why I was very busy for most of last year. The flights themselves all went well in the end." George said, "Ohh, I see. I'm glad to know that." Philip smiled. He then asked, "And how have your bandmates been doing?"...

The royal couple led George, Pattie, and Laura all the way to the top of the Round Tower. "Here it is, mates!", exclaimed Philip as he presented the surprise. "Our very own airship! What do you think?" "Oooooooh...", the trio chorused in amazement. George remarked, "I must say it really IS bloody spectacular, sir!" Pattie added, "I like how the seats are arranged in a similar pattern to that of a passenger plane!" "I do, too!", finished Laura. Elizabeth said, "Indeed! I was quite speechless when my husband gave me the first glimpse." Laura replied, "Can't blame you on that, ma'am." Philip then...

By the time it was noon, the group went to have lunch at the dining hall. Today's selection of foods included honey-glazed roast chicken, pan-grilled fish fillets, baked potatoes, mixed berries salad, cream of mushroom soup, and even a chocolate fondue fountain! There was also sparkling water flavoured with lemons. Pattie remarked as they ate, "Wow. The food here is just as tasty as what we had in Buckingham Palace before, ma'am!" Elizabeth smiled and replied, "I'm glad you're enjoying it!" Laura said, "And I love how this chicken was very well-cooked. So tender, too!" George said, "You and...

Once they were inside the apartment, the adults proceeded to have their talk at the dining table while Laura read some books and cuddled with the Corgis in the living room area. George and Pattie were then given sound advice for their marriage throughout the following hour, which were...

Elizabeth: "Firstly, talking with your spouse is one of the best and most important ways to keep your marriage healthy and successful. Be honest about what you're feeling, but do not forget to be kind and show respect when you communicate. Part of good communication is being a good listener and taking the time...

George, Pattie, and Laura enjoyed themselves while on the road to Windsor Castle the next morning. Once again, as the guards remembered the mop-topped lad and his daughter, they allowed them inside without asking any questions on why they were visiting. Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip had been taking a lovely stroll around the gardens with the Corgis following behind their beloved master. Just then, they heard a man's Liverpudlian voice call out, "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, guess who's back!" Elizabeth remarked, "Well, what a pleasant surprise! It's the future Harrisons!"...

The rest of the day was spent with a tour around the other areas of the park. George said as they walked, "Before we get started with our wedding plans, I think it would be wise for us to first seek some advice on how we could make our marriage a veddy happy one. What do ye say, love?" Pattie replied, "Yeah. That's a smart idea, darling. So, to whom shall we ask about this?" George thought for a moment, then replied, "Let's head on over to Windsor Castle tomorrow! I'm sure the royal couple will help us out with this step." Pattie said, "Oh, I know what you're thinking there. Certainly!" Laura added, "Plus, it's been a while since we last visited that place! Right, daddy George?" He replied, "You definitely are, Laura, darling!" "Heh, heh!", she responded. Afternoon soon turned into evening, and the trio had dinner at one of the nearby restaurants before driving back home for the night.

The couple then stood up as Laura waited with anticipation for what's gonna happen next. Soon, George told his sweetheart, "Pattie, the moment I first laid eyes on you, I knew in my core that my life’s about to change. That time we first met in Ireland is etched forever as it was that moment something, some unusual feeling that my life is changing in a lovely way. And true enough, after speaking with you, it felt like I’ve known you since forever. It seemed like only yesterday when I was captivated by how beautiful you are, inside and out, upon seeing your face at breakfast time. Who would...

After hiking to the top of the hill, the trio found a private spot for their picnic complete with a nice view of the Thames. In addition to the pie, George had fixed some tuna melts, bags of trail mix, and hot chocolate which was kept in its original state through a thermos bottle. "Here ye go, sweetheart!", he said while giving Pattie a big slice. She then remarked upon taking a bite, "Mmm... This really is delicious, darling! I'd even say it's the best apricot pie I've ever tasted!" George smiled and replied, "I knew you'd love it, my dear! Of course, you can thank my mum for baking this...

We have entered the new year of 1967, and something grand is about to take place for our heroes over the next few months. Speaking of which, let's see what the soon-to-be family has currently been up to!

George, Pattie, and Laura were on the drive to Primrose Hill in Regent's Park for their picnic as a way to kick off the year. This won't be your typical picnic, though, 'cause the former had planned for it to be the moment where he'll surprise his sweetheart by asking her The Big Question at last. Pattie said, "I see that apricot pie has been quite a staple for your family, eh?" George replied,...

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...

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...
