Wendy and Dipper continued dating each summer, with letters and phone calls from fall to spring. They ended up not having to worry about Robbie, who had decided to leave them alone. This mostly had to do with Manly Dan still watching him, after all no one wants to anger a guy who can rip the arm off an electronic. A literal arm I mean.
When Dipper and Mabel's prom came Wendy was able to be Dipper's date for it. They stayed together the entire night, except for whenever one had to go to the bathroom. Mabel and Dipper hung out too of course, but not that often. They didn't need to, Mabel had a date of her own.
The next year Dipper and Mabel graduated. Dipper and Mabel spent the day of the ceremony with their friends and family, then the next day Dipper and Mabel had a sibling's day out together. The day afterward was just Dipper and Wendy, who had been waiting for this.
They were sitting on the couch of the Pines's home. Mabel had gone out with her boyfriend and Mr. and Mrs. Pines were out enjoying themselves.
"You know, you're now legally allowed to get married." Wendy flirted playfully.
"I know, and I can't wait to marry you." Dipper smiled even though he was blushing; even after all these years compliments or flirts from Wendy still made him feel like his twelve-year-old-with-a-crush self. "But I want to make sure I get that Paranormal Investigators job first, the one I applied for last week. Thank goodness the truth about Gravity Falls spread all over the country, otherwise I would've had to wait to apply and then we would have to wait longer to get married."
"I understand, and I know you're going to get the job." Wendy smiled. "What about Mabel?"
"She's going to open her own line of sweater fashions." Dipper chuckled. "And do pet sitting on the side."
"Should've seen that coming." Wendy smirked, amused. "She still loves sweaters and animals. Including Waddles. Oh, and Bear, he's her second favorite."
As if on cue, an English Cocker Spaniel came in barking joyfully.
"Hey Bear." Dipper chuckled.
Bear jumped onto Dipper's lap, lay down, and let both Dipper and Wendy pet him.
Mabel did manage to open her own store in a slightly rural town that relies on homemade food more than factory made food. It's far enough away from the city for farms, but close enough to the city for visits. It worked out since Dipper and Mabel's parents lived in the city.
Dipper got the paranormal job, pretty quickly too. The job required traveling but despite that Dipper bought a house right next door to Mabel's. Both houses were perfect for them...though Mabel redecorated her's to make it even more perfect. The best part though was that both houses had large enough backyards for small-scale farming, which meant that Waddles would be very comfortable. Mabel decided to grow her own fruit but Dipper passed on the farming entirely. He was going to keep his backyard a backyard.
Later on, after Dipper finished moving in, he invited Wendy over to see his new house. Wendy loved it. Dipper was glad, because he had an important question to ask her. So, they sat down on the couch....
"Wendy, there just aren't enough words to describe how I feel about you." Dipper began. "All I can say is that I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I'm sorry this took so long but I had a hard time finding the perfect one."
Dipper then got down on one knee and opened a ring box that he took out of his pocket. Wendy gasped upon noticing the ring: it was a heart shaped emerald.
"This ring symbolizes my heart, a Pine heart." Dipper smiled. "I lost my heart to you a long time ago Wendy so this is the only way I can give it to you now."
"Since I lost my heart to you a long time ago I don't know how to give it to you now in return." Wendy smiled, tears of joy in her eyes. "All I can do is say that I would be honored to become your wife."
Dipper slipped the ring onto her finger and she got down so that they could kiss.
"You just gave your heart to me again." Dipper said happily. "You give your heart to me everytime you kiss me, because I feel your love inside me everytime."
They hugged.
Not much time passed, since the wedding wasn't going to be fancy or big. Heck, it was barely even formal. This was because it was being held in Gravity Falls.
So, everyone only dressed up in dress shirts and pants, or dresses in the case of some of the females. Even Grunkle Stan, who usually wore tuxes, just wore a dress shirt and dress pants...though that was just because he would've ended up being the only one in a tux and he didn't want to feel like a fish out of water. Even Soos dressed up, which was rare for him. Well, dressed up by his standards anyway, just a good shirt and pants. He even still wore his baseball cap, though that wasn't a problem because the ceremony was being held outside. Yet another reason to not wear fancy dresses or tuxes. Even the bride and groom didn't wear traditional attire. Dipper was wearing a blue collared and buttoned shirt with white pants while Wendy wore a green dress shirt with black dress pants. She still wore her boots and lumberjack cap, both of which had been cleaned up. Dipper also was wearing his old cap that he got from the Mystery Shack a long time ago (it was one of the reasons why he was wearing a blue shirt and white pants).
There was one big change that really made the wedding stand out: Dipper did not have a Best Man. Instead he had a Best Sister: Mabel. Tambry balanced out the alter as Wendy's Maid of Honor. Also, there were no Flower Girls or Ring Bearers, since neither of Dipper nor Wendy really knew any small kids. So, when the vows were being exchanged Mabel gave Dipper his ring for Wendy and Tambry gave Wendy her ring for Dipper (Dipper and Wendy had to talk Mabel out of 'decorating' either ring). As the vows were being exchanged some of the audience members began to sob. Including one that was a surprise for Grunkle Stan:
"Soos, are you...crying?" Grunkle Stan gave Soos a 'didn't expect this' look.
"Dude, it's just...." Soos sniffled. "So...BEAUTIFUL!"
Soos started sobbing uncontrollably, causing Stan to awkwardly scoot away from him.
Oh, and that was the only surprise. Manly Dan didn't sob, instead he just beamed with pride at his daughter marrying the right guy. Wendy's brothers too were proud of her for ending up with the right guy
The reception also wasn't exactly traditional. Dipper and Wendy both knew that Mabel could never resist a good dance so they opened the party with upbeat dances that everyone could dance too. The slow dances were saved for the end, for couples who were still on their feet. Dipper and Wendy were one of the couples and as they danced they forgot about everyone else in the room.
During the banquet Mabel tapped her glass to get everyone's attention and stood up.
"Ever since Dipper first fell in love with Wendy I knew these two were meant to be together." Mabel began her 'Best Sister Speech'. "There were a lot of pretty or cool girls at our school that guys had crushes on...except for Dipper. Dipper always knew that there was more to a person than looks, plus he wanted to wait until he found the right girl. And that girl turned out to be Wendy because she wasn't fake pretty or stereotypically cool. Her beauty was natural and her coolness came from not caring what other people thought and seeing others for who they are on the inside. She knew how to have fun in all kinds of situations and with all types of people. Dipper fell in love with her for that, and Wendy returned his love because he was the first guy to see her for her heart and not for anything else, not to mention the fact that he was the kindest and most selfless guy she had ever known. If there is a list of True Loves then Dipper and Wendy are one of the top couples on that list. I know that they'll be happy together forever. Dipper and Wendy everyone!"
Mabel sat down while everyone else applauded Dipper and Wendy and Mabel's speech. Dipper and Wendy applauded for Mabel's speech as well.
Oh, and by this point you're probably wondering about Robbie: well he had decided to move on and start a new life so he moved out of Gravity Falls. No one ever saw him again.
This will be the only story where the wedding is put into detail because it goes the same way for the ending of all my DipperXWendy stories. The proposal varies but the wedding doesn't.

Also, this is the only story where Robbie doesn’t reform. In all my future stories he does reform.
Oh, and credit for the scene between Stan and Soos at the wedding goes to [link].
