Author's note: This episode 24, the series doesn't reset the storyline follows the show's story sequence.
One of my readers requested adding pictures of the new characters, but this is not allowed by Literotica. When a new character is introduced, I will put in parenthesis the character's real name so you can look them up on the internet.

Bernadette was sitting on Howard's bed; she looked amazing, her golden blonde hair hung down, resting on the upper slopes of her large breasts. Howard was standing before her and had his hands behind his back, "Close your eyes, put your hand out. I got you something special."
She had a funny face, "Come in, Howard, I'm not falling for that again."
He pulled his arm around and handed her a box, "No, here."
She opened it, "Oh, Howie, a little star, it's beautiful. Put it on me."
"Okay, but I'm gonna have to get it back from you, so I can take it to the International Space Station. That way, when I come home, you will have a star that was actually in space.
She looked at it, "Oh, my God, this is the most amazing gift I've ever gotten." She looked at it again, "I don't wanna wait until you're back to get married. I wanna be married to you before you get in that rocket. But I want to even the score after what I found out about you while you were at your bachelor party."
"I don't understand, what do you mean evening the score and have you forgotten; I'm leaving in three days."
"We'll have a little ceremony with just our friends. I want to have sex with your buddies, but you'll get some action too. I talked to Penny and Amy and they will keep you company, if you get my drift. I'll get the bridal suite at the hotel we were going to have our reception; we'll have that celebration we were talking about on Saturday night. We'll still have the big reception with everyone when you get back."
"Well, I'm not so keen on having Leonard, Raj and Sheldon having sex with you, but if you think it will even the score, I'm on-board with it, so wow, okay, let's get married."
She cleared her throat, "You forgot about Stuart and Wil Wheaton too, but I guess I'm just splitting hairs here."
They hurried over to Leonard and Sheldon's apartment and Bernie spoke to the group, "We decided to go down to city hall this afternoon get married and then have the reception when Howard gets back. We know it's short notice, but we'd love you all to come with us."
Amy was upset; she jumped up, "No, no, no, this is not the wedding I wanted. I wanna wear my maid-of-honor dress and walk down the aisle with a hundred eyes on me, while a string quartet plays "The Way You Look Tonight."
Bernie looked at her, "That wasn't our processional music."
"Well, it was gonna be mine."
Bernie looked to Amy, "So, what do you say, Amy?"
"Can I wear my maid-of-honor dress?"
"Seriously? Wear that thing to city hall?"
"It's all I have left. You gonna take that from me too?"
They went to the city hall, Sheldon turned to Leonard, "Leonard is it awkward being here with Penny, given that you recently proposed to her?"
Howard looked at him, "You proposed?"
"I don't wanna talk about it."
Raj ran over to Penny, "Where'd he pop the question? What'd you say?"
Leonard busted in, "She said no! Can we drop it?"
Penny added, "It wasn't a real proposal."
Bernie who was seated beside her looked up, "Why wasn't it a real proposal?"
Sheldon blurted out, "He asked her just after fucking her brains out."
Penny bit her lip, "Good move telling Sheldon."
"Can't propose, can't talk to my friends. Is there anything else I'm not allowed to do?"
The receptionist came out of the judge's chambers, "Folks, can I have your attention? It's 5:00. We're gonna take three more couples and the judge will be out of town tomorrow. The rest of you will have to return on Monday."
Bernie threw up her hands, "I can't believe were not gonna get married."
They went to the Cheesecake Factory for drinks. Howard turned to Bernie, who was seating on a bar stool, "You know, we could always drive to Vegas and get married."
Bernie shook her head, "I don't know, isn't that a little tacky."
Penny took a swig of her wine, "Hey, I know tons of people who got married in Vegas."
Bernie scoffed at her, "Are any of them still married?"
"Yeah, I mean, not to the same people, but...."
Bernie racked her brain, "There's gotta be someplace special we could do it."
Sheldon was being an ass again, "Leonard, where did you envision marrying Penny?"
Leonard was getting pissed, "Will you shut up?"
Raj put his beer down on the bar, "I know someplace special, I suggest, if you're willing to wait till Saturday morning, the Google satellite will be over Pasadena. You can have your wedding photographed from space."
Howard patted him on the back, "That is so cool, way to go, Raj."
