The A.I would let out a stressed 'whew', trying to catch his breath as Skipper adjusted his dress and veil.

"I'm so nervous, I can barely see straight, I even put my contacts in today. Ma-maybe I should've just worn my glasses? Or maybe I would've looked stupid. Do I look ok?"
Pondskipper
Skipper could only barely reach Bimbokeeper's veil, hiked up onto his tip-toes, patting down the lacy fabric as he futzes with the outfit. "D'aww, hey, c'mon, B! Don't look so stressed out, today's your big day!"

"You look great! Everything looks great. I know so, 'cause I dressed you. Like, lookit me, I put on my best t-shirt for this."
Bimbokeeper
Bimbokeeper puts a hand to his chest, taking a deep exhale out as he attempts to stand straight.

"Sorry, I'm just nervous. You're right, I'm actin' unlike myself."

He pats down his dress, smoothing it over as he takes a look in the full-length mirror in front of him.

"Not bad, I look good. I think. I hope."

Pondskipper
"Tulle looks great on you."
Pondskipper
"Now, drop the fussing or you're gunna knock some of these beads loose. Where's all that glitz I saw just a couple hours ago?"
Bimbokeeper
"You're right, you're right."
Bimbokeeper
"I'm just nervous. Never been married before."
Bimbokeeper
"Thank you for agreeing to be my maid-of-honor. I know it was a little last minute, but you really pulled through for me."

"But I'm happy for you guys. You BETTER shake those nerves, 'cause you oughta be happy too."
Bimbokeeper
"I didn't take myself as a get-married-right-now type either."
Bimbokeeper
"But I'm a man of feeble heart. I can't help that he's so alluring to me.."
Bimbokeeper
"Can you take a peek out there and see if all of our guests have arrived?"

"Sure, lemme see!"
Skipper fluffs the veil one last time, leaning over to the dressing room's entrance to check outside…
Pondskipper
("…Oh. Wait, yeah. Hallway.") He exits to go see!

Meanwhile in the other side of the hall.....

Ray
"Don't fuck this up for yourself man."
Life
"How awful. He doesn't know what happened to his poor Zookeeper."
Ray
"Yeah, and he's never going to find out unless you tell him you twisted up beast. Boss, we need you to not make a fuss."
Ray
"You're my boss, but your boss is here, and he's going to want this thing to go off with only one hitch, and it's you getting together with that dumb bimbo."
Ray
"Look, if you don't think you can do it, we got our backup on standby."
Collector
"I'M NOT READY TO GET MARRIED I WOULD SQUEAL 5 SECONDS IN AND EVERYONE WOULD KNOW I'M NOT ZOOKEEPER, ZOOKEEPER WOULD NEVER SQUEAL!!!!"
Life
"I'm just worried. Will he like me like this?"
Ray
"Ew."
Collector
"EW EW. YOU'RE CREEPING ME OUT MAN!!!"
Life
"Why?"
Ray
"That thing that slinked into your head gave you feelings. Knock it off man!"
Life
"Ah sorry, it's just that, while I know our wedding is nothing but for show...."
Ray
"Good...."
Life
"The idea of getting married genuinely makes me nervous. I've never considered being in love before, even if I love all living creatures."
Collector
"WE GOTTA KILL HIM. WE GOTTA PUT HIM DOWN RAY."
Ray
"Dude."
Collector
"SORRY I'M NERVOUS."
Ray
"Listen here man."
Ray
"I don't know who the fuck your boss is. But if he has control over a powerful guy like you, I'm assuming he can take us all out if he's not happy. You know what that means. All of us. Dead. Forever."
Life
"Disgusting!"
Ray
"So hide your little feelings and repeat after me. "I'm Zookeeper.""
Collector
"I'm Zookeeper!"
Ray
"Not you!"
Life
"I'm Zookeeper?"
Ray
"Plaster a big smile on your face when you say it next time and we might just live. Now get moving, party is starting."
Ray
"Snitch, I need you to-"
Snitch
Snitch is dressed in a suit and holding wedding rings on a pillow.
Ray
("Maybe if I didn't eat every woman I knocked up I could have had a tiny little waiter in a suit like this again.")

Back to the other side of the hall....

Pondskipper
("Aww, look how good they look…")
Pondskipper
Skipper smiles at the gentlemen fondly, before realizing something horrible.
("Wait… OH NO.")
Pondskipper
He rushes out of the hallway, and hastily closes the door to the dressing room!
Pondskipper
"B! I- almost forgot, isn't it bad luck to see the groom on the, uh, wedding day? I think I messed up…"
Bimbokeeper
"..."
Bimbokeeper
"Wh--why do you ask..?"
Pondskipper
"W-wait… you're a groom too… aw, shoot-"
Pondskipper
"Or, wait, was it the bridesmaids?…"
Pondskipper
He covers his eyes.
"E-either way, everybody's there!"
Bimbokeeper
He pats his dress down once more, looking intensely in the mirror to make sure everything was perfect.

He wasn't sure why he cared much, he already knew Zookeeper didn't care about things like this, all that mushy-gushy stuff that Bimbokeeper cared about. He didn't know why but he still felt so nervous.
Bimbokeeper
He walks towards Antoinette, seated in a chair, grabbing a weaved basket of flowers and giving it to the cekeki, who holds in in her mouth.

"Ready girl?"
Antoinette

Antoinette happily nods, holding up the basket high. She's ready to do the most important job here!!
Bimbokeeper
"I... Don't have a dad..."
Bimbokeeper
"Can you walk me down the aisle, Skippy?"
Pondskipper
"YES sirree!!"
He hooks an arm around Bimbokeeper's.
Pondskipper
"I'll be your dad."
Bimbokeeper
He takes a huff, for confidence's sake, and grabs his bouquet from off the dresser.

"Ok, let's go."
Ray
On the other side of the wedding hall, Ray flips though an eldritch looking manual. It details steps that must be followed, with extremely specific diagrams. "How the fuck is anyone supposed to make this work..."
Ray
Ray trembles slightly as he flips the papers. "Ok ok, shut up for a god damn moment."
Collector
("But no one is talking....")
Life
("I think he's more nervous about this than us.")
Ray
"Ok Snitch, you go down there, and don't fuck it up, alright!"
Snitch
Snitch looks at Raymond with big wet eyes.
Ray
"Stop looking at me with those watery old man eyes and get moving!"
[Dance of Devotion - Ace Attorney 6: Spirit Of Justice OST]
Snitch
Snitch carefully takes the pillow of rings down carefully to the alter, he freezes for a moment, seeing the creature standing there.
The Creator
The huffing, yak-like monster.
Snitch
But Snitch is more scared of Ray, so he trots forward to the altar.

With a light shake to get all the nervous wedding jitters out Antoinette starts to head out and down the aisle after the others. She walks proudly with the basket held high before stopping. She stops to reach into the basket and pull out flowers and throw them around. Then quickly walks a few more steps to continue the process.

There is a moment where she goes to throw out more flowers but realizes it's empty... so she quickly picks up the basket and trots to where Bimbo will be standing.
Ray
Ray keeps reading the thick manual. He sighs slightly. ("Antoinette's dumb ass could have ruined this shit but I think they did just enough for it to count.....") Ray flips forward to an image he didn't expect to see.
Ray
("Hmm...Boss what the fuck is this right here? What do the cekeki towers have to do with a wedding?")
Life
("I dunno. I can't read.")
Ray
("What do you mean you can't read!?")
Life
("I'm like, a dumb little animal in a machine. I can't read shit!")
Ray
Ray flips around, until he gets to a picture of the Zoo Corp headquarters. ("What is this......")
Ray
("The whole tower...is some sort of machine?")

("No duh Sherlock, that's kind of been the whole thing you know!")
Bimbokeeper
Bimbokeeper gently squeezes his arm that is locked with Skipper's for comfort as his friend guides him to the beginning of the aisle. The soft wedding music kicks in upon Bimbokeeper's arrival, and he slowly walks down the while with his friend.

For a minute, we wonders if his contacts are faulty, or if his veil was obstructing his view. Zookeeper seemed to look a bit odd to him, but that fluttery feeling in his chest made it hard for him to really question it as the two walked.

Within one of the pews, Boxman puts a small handkercheif to his face from beneath the box. It's always a beautiful sight, love made into ceremony. Always proud to see someone climbing the ladder of love.
Pondskipper
Skipper hobbles along in suit, slowing his pace despite his excitement. He grins at Collector as he leads his friend down the aisle, pushing down the urge to celebratory fist-pump. Fuck yeah. Marriage.
Bimbokeeper
As they reach the alter, Bimbokeeper releases his grip on Skipper, passing the A.I his bouquet as he stood right across from Zookeeper, eyes bashfully glued to the ground as he tried to push past that fluttery feeling in his chest.

He accepts the bouquet. Forgetting if this is supposed to get thrown.

He restrains himself.

Antoinette puts down the basket to go behind Bimbokeeper and quickly fluff his train. Then goes back to lift up the basket proudly and sit by his side.
The Creator
With everyone in place, the Creator starts the event. "We are all brought here today, to watch these two people, who have worked hard, and dedicated their lives, to not only Zoo Corp, but to each other."
The Creator
"What a wondrous day, and a new beginning, not only for the company, nor just these two, but for the universe itself."
The Creator
"Zookeeper. Do you take this man as your husband, to live together in holy matrimony, to love him, to honor him, to comfort him, and to keep him in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?"
Life
("Don't throw up, don't throw up, don't throw up, don't throw up, don't throw up.")
Life
"I sure do!"
Ray
("You mother fucker you could have ruined this if the I or the Do wasn't in there...")
The Creator
"........"
The Creator
"And you, Bimbokeeper. Do you take this man as your husband, to live together in holy matrimony, to love him, to honor him, to comfort him, and to keep him in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?"
Bimbokeeper
With his eyes still shyly glued to the ground, he goes "I do.."
The Creator
"Then by virtue of the authority vested in me under the laws of Zoo Corp, I now pronounce you husband and husband."
The Creator
"Heheheheh-"
Poetnix
The Poetnix holds up a sign that says "NO EVIL LAUGHING UNTIL THEY KISS."
The Creator
"Ahem. You may kiss the groom."
Life
Life pulls itself out of its screen and looks at Bimbokeeper.
Ray
("NO YOU IDIOT. HE'LL KNOW.")
Bimbokeeper
Bimbokeeper shyly pushes his veil back, for once looking up so he could take a genuine look at his husband.

When he does, he's a bit taken aback by the cekeki twisting it's way out of Zookeeper's shattered screen. Taken aback by the sheer amount of damage inflicted on Zookeeper's body.
Bimbokeeper
"(Wh-what happened to you, are you ok Zookie-Pookie?)"
Life
("I uh....")
Life
Life gets nervous and retracts back in! ("I, just got a bit hurt but it doesn't matter I'm doing great!")
The Creator
".........................." The Creator stays quiet.
Life
("I'm Z-Zookeeper!")
Ray
Ray flips through the manual. He sees some sort of orb being blown up.
Ray
("Shit.")
Bimbokeeper
Bimbokeeper takes a step closer, he sighs and takes Zookeeper's damaged hands in his own.
Bimbokeeper
"(Didn't know you could get any finer.)" He says, squeezing his husband's hands gently.
Bimbokeeper
"(I'll ask later. No matter what you look like, I'll love you forever.)" He whispers, closing his eye and leaning forward for a kiss.
Life
("R-Really? It feels like I've only met you for the first time today. You're making me more nervous than I've ever been, and you're not even trying to kill me!")

("Could this be the reason why, two genetically incompatible people fall in love? I've never felt like this before...I wasn't sure if I should go through with this before, but now I am.") The BEAST in the MACHINE pulls itself back out, and gives Bimbokeeper a kiss on the screen.
Ray
Ray, who was counting on his fingers sighs in relief. A few more words said before the kiss and the ritual would have been ruined.
Bimbokeeper
"(I make you nervous~?)" He whispers coyly after they break the kiss.

"(I hope in a good way.)"
Boxman
The pews rise in applause, a few cheers and a few sniffles from the audience. Boxman clasps his hands together, the congregation giving their approval in the vocal display.
Pondskipper
It's fist-pump time. The appropriate time for that is right now.

Antoinette puts down the basket before leaning lovingly again Bridalkeeper.
Life
("Well...You know. In the sort of way that....")
Life
("....That I kind of want to have a 100 kids with you and have them take over the ecosystem.")
The Creator
"Ok please shut up now."

The cekeki towers, littered around the planet all begin to glow, and at once, all of them fire off a great light into the sky in every direction.

Life
"Oh boy, that looks exciting, like my husband! What is that?"
The Creator
"Are you going to compare everything to your husband now?"
Life
"Yeah I really love him!"

"Heh...Well, it's just a little light show just for you...Hehehe"

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!"

"............................."
Life
"......Why is he laughing?"
Poetnix
The Poetnix holds up a sign that says "IT'S AWKWARD IF YOU LAUGH BEFORE EXPLAINING THE PLAN."
Poetnix
He pauses to write a new sign. "ALSO YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN THE PLAN RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT'D MAKE LIFE SAD AND-"
Poetnix
He has to get another sign to finish his thoughts. "-IT WILL LIKELY DO SOMETHING VERY STUPID LIKE UNKILL YOU."
The Creator
".........................................................."
Poetnix
The Poetnix taps his beak a few times in thought before making one final sign. "SO ANYWAY YOU LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT RIGHT NOW."
The Creator
"............................."
The Creator
"So, why don't we throw flowers and eat wedding cake, everyone?"
Fortuna rolls a 5 sided die. A 3 is rolled.
Pondskipper
Oh. OH. Flowers! Skipper hastily shoves the bouquet into the bride's hands for him to toss!
Bimbokeeper
Bimbokeeper takes the bouquet from Skipper, holding Zookeeper[?]'s hand with a little squeeze as he throws the bouquet into the air.
Collector
"Oh no not the flower tossing of commitment!!!"
Collector
Collector pulls Skipper and uses him as a shield from the flowers!

He thought they would destroy this planet.
So where are they going?
