Chapter Text
"For the first time as husband and wife it is my pleasure to announce our bride and groom, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Solo!"
Ben pulled Rey close as the music for their first dance started playing. He hadn't told Rey the song he picked wanting it to be a surprise. Her eyes got big, filling with tears as she looked up at him.
"Ben?"
He leaned close, resting his cheek against hers, and sang gently along with the lyrics, "You and me together we'll be. Forever you'll see. We two can be good company you and me. Yes, together we two."

flashback
Everyone went to the Magic Kingdom their first day at Walt Disney World. Ben's favorite ride was the Mad Tea Party. He liked spinning the teacup faster and faster until he couldn't walk off the ride in a straight line. It was for that exact reason his friends ditched him.
Ben got in line and watched excitedly as the teacups spun around, sure he could make one spin faster, when his attention was caught by the girl in front of him. He tapped her shoulder and the prettiest hazel eyes looked up at him. "Hey, I like your bag!"
A big smile lit up her face. "You like Oliver and Company?"
"It's my favorite Disney movie."
She pointed at her Minnie mouse ears, which he just noticed also featured the movie. "I'm a bit obsessed with it. It's so hard to find merchandise. I had to order these ears from Etsy!"
The ride coming to an end interrupted their chat. Ben looked around to see who she was with. She seemed far from the people ahead of her so he asked, "Soooo... would you like to share a teacup with me? You look like good company."
She quirked an eyebrow at him. "How did you know I was alone?"
He shrugged. "I guess I've got street savoir faire?"
She smacked his arm and.... was that a giggle snort? "Oh my god that's so cheesy! I'm Rey, by the way."
"Ben."

Rey pulled back a bit to look at him. She giggled when Ben bopped her nose as he sang the next part. "Together, that's you. Forever with me. We'll always be good company. You and me. Yes together we'll be."

"I can't believe you fit in that teacup! How can you even feel your legs?"
They clung to each other laughing and out of breath as they stumbled off the ride.
Ben doesn't think he's ever smiled so big, though maybe he could blame the dizziness for his current mood. "Perfect isn't easy."
Rey, somehow gathering her wits quicker than him, pulled him to a stop that was a little too fast for him at the moment. "Do you have an Oliver and Company reply to everything?"
She was still holding his hand and he was so happy he swung their arms a bit. Definitely the dizziness. "I have no one else to say them to.
Rey grabbed his other hand and squeezed. "I think you can say them to me forever. Just wait and see."

They were still swaying while their friends and family joined them on the dance floor. Rey remembered how just over a year ago she had groaned in frustration when her brother and parents left her in Fantasyland to go to the Tiki Room instead. Weaklings. But, maybe there was some Disney magic at work that wanted her and Ben to meet.
Rey hopped up on Ben's feet. She couldn't get close enough. "I should have known you would pick this song."
Ben's lips quirked a bit as he gently kissed Rey's forehead. "You know you love a lot of Disney songs, right? I could have picked Bella Notte."
Rey just sighed and rested her head on his shoulder, cracking an eye open to see her brother dancing with his girlfriend.

They found a bench near the snack stand so they could chat and eat their Mickey bars. Rey texted her brother Hux to let him know she was taking longer at the teacups. It was technically true.
She bit part of an ear off her ice cream bar. "So why Oliver and Company? Are you a Dodger?"
Ben focussed intently for a moment on his ice cream, pursing his lips together wondering if she would find his answer silly. "Would you believe a Jenny?"
Rey bit into the other ear. "Jenny? How so?"
"Well, Jenny was so excited to make a new friend in Oliver. I guess I can relate because my parents weren't around much. I got lonely in that big house until they got me a dog. I named him Chewie because he chewed on my mom's shoes. He got lost one day sort of like Oliver did, but I found him."
Rey frowned a bit. That sounded sad. As a small child, she made up so many stories about having parents. Feeling alone was never one of them.
"How about you? Why do you love Oliver and Company?"
Rey thought for a moment. "My birth parents abandoned me when I was little and I bounced around wondering where my home would be until Jyn and Cassian adopted me when I was 9. They had already adopted a boy a couple years before me, Hux, so he's my older brother now. We came here to celebrate my college graduation, but they wanted to go to the Tiki Room and I wanted to go on the teacups. This happens whenever we come here." She shrugged because it couldn't be helped. "I'm afraid of birds."
"They're animatronics, Rey."
"Yeah, well... Anyway, Oliver is just like me. He was lost until he found a home."
Ben reached over and swept his thumb over her bottom lip. "You had some chocolate....."
Rey and Ben stayed together that whole day. Luckily Rey's family and Ben's friends were all understanding. They went on their favorite rides and ate way too many snacks. Rey learned Ben was an attorney specializing in family law. "I wanted to help people like my parents who struggled being married," he had said while they went through a dark tunnel on the Peoplemover. He came to the park with his childhood friends Poe and Paige and her sister Rose who decided he was working too much and needed a break. Rey told him about her business degree so she could eventually take over her father's antique shop. She swung their arms between them while waiting in line for Space Mountain babbling non stop about how she loved finding old, valuable things. "Like a scavenger?" Ben had asked when she told him how she once dove into a dumpster after seeing a really pretty clock sticking out. "I had to fix the mechanisms, but that clock was worth over $2000!"
Everyone met up later for dinner at Tony's Town Square. Rey and Ben shared a plate of pasta and meatballs, wanting to get the full Lady and the Tramp experience. Ben sang quietly into Rey's ear between bites, "This is the night, it's a beautiful night, on this lovely bella notte."
Rey's mother pulled her into a hug as they left the restaurant. "Seeing you fall in love makes me so happy, my Stardust."
Rey pulled away and gasped. "Mum! I just met him!"
Jyn only smirked and pushed her daughter in Ben's direction, where he was standing along the curb on Main Street chatting with Cassian.
"Go pick out a spot for the fireworks. We'll start planning your wedding tomorrow."
"MUM!"
Rey's attention was drawn away from her mother's premature wedding planning to her brother arguing with Ben's Dole Whip hat wearing friend Rose.
"Seriously, Armie. How do you not like Dole Whip?"
"I told you, it's Hux and I don't understand how that tart concoction is so popular."
"It is a Disney DELICACY, Armie!"
Rey shook her head as she walked by. Maybe their mother would have another wedding to plan.

Ben held his wife's face in his hands and rested his forehead against hers as the song came to an end. "You and me together we'll be. Forever you'll see." Rey sang along the final lines with him. "We'll always be good company. You and me. Just wait and see."
Ben kissed her softly. "I love you, Rey."
