Author's Summary: The gang is going to visit Daphne's Uncle Liam for her cousin's wedding; new feelings are revealed.

Review: Raise your hand if you grew up watching Scooby Doo on weekends. I know I did. I grew up loving Daphne, adoring Scooby and Shaggy. I didn't expect to find slash fanfiction of Scooby Doo and I especially didn't expect to love it. But I did, I loved it very, very much.

It starts out with a funeral, the Mystery Machine's and ends with a wedding. While the beginning is somewhat slow, I stuck to it because of sheer curiousity. And well, I fell in love. The gang are at Daphne's cousin's wedding which also happens to be a gay wedding. O.o There's a lot of UST (unresolved sexual tension) between the gang. Daphne is/was in love with Fred and Velma's somewhat interested in Shaggy but Fred thinks he's in love with Shaggy and Shaggy? Who knows? But Scooby can tell because you can't hide when a doggie's nose on your tracks.

It's a quick read, only 4 chapters but the love story told isn't rushed. In fact, the way the author tells it, it's a long time coming.
