Since the world first found out Archie was getting married, fans everywhere hoped Betty would be the bride. But those fans discovered quickly Archie Andrews chose Veronica Lodge over Betty Cooper and they were angry! They felt Archie had made the wrong choice, and they are very vocal about it! On television, in the newspapers, and on blogs all over the internet, fans loudly rejected Archie's choice.
Despite the tide of public opinion, Archie proposed to Veronica in ARCHIE #600 and she accepted! Fans hoped that something would ruin the wedding plans and Archie would end up with Betty. In ARCHIE #601, not only did Archie and Veronica get married, but Archie joined Lodge Enterprises! Despite all of that, fans everywhere still agreed - Archie made the wrong choice. They didn't care that Archie and Veronica are happily married, that he has a good job and that they have twins. It didn't matter what Archie wants, the fans want Archie to choose Betty!
Now Archie Comics will listen to the cry of fans around the world and in ARCHIE #603, Archie Andrews will propose to Betty Cooper!
What about Veronica? Will Archie and Veronica divorce? What about the twins? What about Lodge Enterprises? Will Archie lose his job? What will Mr. & Mrs. Andrews think? What will Mr. & Mrs. Lodge think? What will Mr. & Mrs. Cooper think? What will Jughead think???
Most importantly, what will fans think when Betty finally gets Archie?
The answers to all those questions and more are in ARCHIE #603 - #605 as the "Archie Gets Married" storyline continues. Remember; be careful what you ask for. You just might get it!

O MY GOSH IS THIS TRUE BETTY AND ARCHIE???? woow CONGRATZ Betty Cooper but is this true?
I don't understand! Archie's asking Betty to marry him! He's already married to Veronica! They have two children: the twins! I never thought this day would come! I thought Betty had already move on with her life. I thought that she's already find someone else! Oh, boy! What will everyone in Riverdale think? What made Archie dump Veronica?! Were they having problems? I'm so happy for Betty!
Betty, i feel Would be the perfect wife for Archie.
She wouldnt never treat him like dirt,since i started reading Archies, Betty has been madly in love with Archie, im sure she would do anything to keep Archie happy and have him thinking he should have choose Betty in the first place.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love Betty to be happy, but I don't trust this at all. this is messed up.
This is much better... but why did archie and on get twin. I hope veronica has strong genes or else all the children will end up look like arch. I live in Holland so I cant read the books.... I hope Arch and Bets gets children they wil look adorableeeee
I think that Archie should ask Betty to marry him. When he asks Betty should say, " No Archie, all these years i have been your replacement for Veronice, but not any more!" Then she sould dump a smoothie on him. :) Dont you think so?
You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!! Betty deserves so much better and would set a better example to young girls out there if she could finally take a stand to the guy who she was always second choice with!
wow arch your wirid i thout you yore throe with betty thats why you merried ron duh!!!i think betty will dump you.i bet ron will dump you to!!and i bet rivadle will be so comfoused!!!im comfoused!!!!!!!!
You are right about that Joanne. Betty would definitely do everything possible to make Archie happy. She's the perfect choice.
you are the best archie
WE forgive you now archie :)
oh yeah, uh-uh! this is nice, i enjoy this
I think that Betty should fall in love with Dilton, and then Dilton should fall in love with Betty, and then they get married and have a long and happy life. Oh, and Archie should live miserably ever after with Veronica, and live his whole life knowing that he should have chosen Betty, but now it's too late. That would serve him right. Then he would know that he should not have treated her so badly. Please, please, PLEASE have Betty and Dilton fall in love and marry and then have a long and happy life.
I see Archie goes down the opposite fork in memory lane for the next issue!
Can't wait to read it!
What?!!? Betty, you can do better!!!!! Archie has never given her the proper attention and she was always his back-up plan. Betty should finally stand up to him and give him a dose of his own medicine. She's a smart girl she should have figured that out a long time ago.
WoW
I agree taht Betty should NOT marry him because Archie is already... MARRIED!?!?!?!!
Betty should find someone who will make her as happy as she would haev made Archie. She should find a great MAN who will treat her like the beautiful love she is!! And knowing her heart, she will treat him like her love!
best of luckkkkkkkk
Oh, I think we're being shown what life would be like for Archie if he chose Veronica or if he chose Betty. I think both proposals and weddings all happened in Archie's mind. :)
I totally agree....why the heck are they doing this??? Now they are gonna make his life hell just to prove to us readers that we shouldnt of been whinning!
I think Reggie and Betty would be amazing together
Um I think its really obvious he didnt really marry either, and that when he married Roni it was when he took the path to the left (when he went to Memory Lane) and then Betty would be the other path, but its not like he LEFT Roni for Betty, they are just the 2 diff paths he can take...i doubt he will actually take either tho, Archie prob still wants both of them lol
I know what happened don't worry people cuz Archie didn't actually marry either of them what he does is that when ppl are remembering stuff it's called going down memory lane no? so what Archie does is he goes up memory lane and sees his future.
He chooses the right lane and says he'll leave the other one for another day.In the lane he chooses he marries veronica which is shown in issue 600-6001 and he sees what it would be like if he married betty in the left lane which is shown in issue 603-605 BUT THEY STILL DON'T TELL US WHICH LANE HE CHOOSES and the famous mystery continues.
Jaya S
Seriously, I HOPE THIS IS JUST A HOAX.
I love Betty, she's my most favorite, and I was sad about #600, but geez, this is just so wrong.
My positive view on Archie Comics will forever fade if this happens.
Maybe Archie Comics is just playing a game on us. Making us more interested on this by playing games on our reactions.
Seriously. I'd rather this be a hoax.
YESS!!!!! i feel sorry for Ronnie tho but Betty and Archie are the perfect couple.
I am soooooooooooooooooooo happy for Betty!!!!!!!!! Better luck next time Veronica!
he deffinately shouldn't be marrying anybody. you guys are ruining the whole point of the comics by doing this. it takes all of the mystery away from the love triangle.
I knew they would pull something like this. I so hate you guys.
So is he going to marry C.B next then Ethel then Jose then Valerie. and so on and so on. Give me a break. He should be married to Veronica and thats it he been running behind her for years. And the writers should man up and not let the public tell them what to do. Or are they still in high school themselves and have to do what the bully tells them to do.
are you guys crazy he's alredy married!!!!!
*&^^$$#$#$#$))_(*)
It's apparently going to be a "road not taken" storyline. It will just show what his life would have been if he had chosen Betty.
And I agree with the other posters who say Betty should say no & dump a soda on him. Much better than having her subjugate herself even farther than she already has.
OMG,i can't belive that archie chose betty,ever since i was reading the archies,i knew betty would be the right wife for archie.
Omg!! yea!!!! finally, BUT Archie is sorta messed up, no offence but u take advantage of thoses gurls, pick one and stay with it!!
I don't want archie to get married at all.. I enjoy betty and veronica's rivalry.
:)
Kudos to all the staff and thank you for creating Archie and the Gang.. :) :)
Ya'll have messed up now, they have kids and he's gonna dump her. Its going to ruin betty and veronicas friendship. If you take the other what could have been route, archie didn't really choose. Make up your minds and stick to it.
Archie made the right choice, choosing Betty, Woo Hoo!!!
Wow!!!!! :O
YAY!! YIPPEEE! U TOTALLY MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE ARCHIE FROM THE BEGINNING I HOPED U WOULD CHOOSE BETTY!!!!!! CONGRATZ BETTY
I can't believe Archie and Veronica are having twins!!!!! OMG!!! Now he's marrying Betty. What is going on in that boys mind? OMG I"M SO HAPPY FOR BETTY. Ha Veronica got what she deserves after all those years of hurting Archie and Archie hurting Betty. THis is finally Betty's chance. Even thought i'm a fan of both Veronica and Betty.
OMG this is so cool!!!!!!!!!!! Betty always had loved Archie better then Ronni!
I hope there is a twist somewhere. Quite frankly, what the fans want is terrible for the series. If Archie marries Betty, woohoo, it's a typical coupling of two typical people who will live a typical lifestyle. Hardly comic material.
"It didn't matter what Archie wants, the fans want Archie to choose Betty! "
Highlight the 'It didn't matter what Archie wants' please.
So whatever the 'fans' want, we get? Okay, I want Archie to marry Jughead. Can't get any more controversial than that. I'd love to see the fireworks for that one.
Congratz on selling out.
I am so upset! Betty should get with Jughead or Reggie!
This is so not fair. Hws dat evn posibl? I thnk betty deservs bettr. Its so cheap on archie's side.
i think that when archie chose veronica. he stay, its not a bad decision when he is inlove. the truth is i like it to be betty. but when they have twins, they should stay together. its unfair for the children.
Ok, this is getting confusing, but still, Archie should of picked Betty first! Betty is the one that really deserves him!
Umm... didn't Archie and Veronica have twins... That is kinda stupid. I'm beginning to not like Archie very much.
YAY I AM SO HAPPY
FOR BETTY AND ARCHIE
archie GRRRRRR please dont do this to poor veronica and your children (they are so cute)
wow what is he doing
ARCHIE AND BETTY!
IVE READ ALOT OF ARCHIE COMICS AND IM ONLY 8.WHEN I SAW THE VOULEM I KNEW ARCHIE WOULD DUMP VERONICA SOME HOW BUT WHAT WOUD HAPPEN TO THE TWINS? WHAT ABOUT VERONICA? WOULD THEY DIVORCE? IL FIND OUT SOON
HEY DONT GET MIXED I LIKE BETTY FANS ALL OVER THE WORLD WISED WHAT U AND I WISHED ..... IF U WANTED BETTY CONGRATS BETTY
What are you doing? Veronica should be with ARCHIE!Not with that goody two shoe dumb blone,plus they already had twins so is Archie just gonna dump his kids for that blondie?I think Archie should STAY WITH VERONICA!!!
I love Betty but this is messed up! It's probably that memory lane thing! Or should I say Memory LAME. :-(
I don't think this is fair, just dump Ron and the twins for Betty? That is just... sad and cruel. And Betty please, have some dignity! He's married and has twins for God's sake! Betty should reject him and move on with her life.
This is not right, I think Betty should marry Jughead. Or Reggie.
i'm from India . i read my news paper and i didn't know that archie would propose to ronnie! i was hell upset and very angry at this decision. well i took the comic book(600#) and read it and was really sad! i felt like crying!
but ..... when i again read the news paper and saw that archie choosing betty! i'll say,"HIPHIP HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!! I LOVE BETTY! I AM ALMOST LIKE BETTY IN CHARACTER! COOL!
ARCHIE WEDS BETTY ROCKS!!!!!!!!!"
what made the writer think that archie and ronnie would siut? uh? but i'm waiting for #603-#605! i'm happy thanks guys!
WHAT???????!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOLLLL!
Im like so shocked! this is so cool!!!!!!!!!!
Hey everyone, look at Reggie's face. He looks so sad!
OMG! this is such a shock!!!
And u know, Ron is sitting with Reggie, im sure that she would marry Reggie after that!!! They would look good together. And Reggie and Ron do look good together!!! and the kids would look great too!
B est girl in the world
t o awesome for ronnie
t o smart for ronnie
y did not ask u in the fist place?
a mazing for dumping veronica
r ah!!(happy rah!)
c heater(was) for not choosing betty
h appier for choosing betty
i ntellagent for choosing betty
e wesome
yay wow archie finally made the right choice way to go archie, all the best betty dear
WHAT? archie how can u do this???? U picked Ron. U r soooooooooooooooooo stupid. U already married Veronica. U had 2 twins!!!! U let te down ronnie and me. U r so cruel. U have been messing with them for 222 long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW! THIS IS GREAT, BETTY! DON'T KNOW HOW THIS STORYLINE WILL DEVELOP, BUT ARCHIE JUST HAS TO MARRY YOU!
that is awesome.I always thought that they would divorce and no matter what happens BETTY would come in!!!!:)
yes i do, but i think that now that archie has already married veronica and had kids with her, they have to stay together! i hope that archie stays with veronica and says to betty, "fuck u bitch ive never wanted u i hope u die" cuz i hope betty dies. betty sucks, she deserves TO DIE!!!!!
did u hear that in sonic universe sonic got married?Hey u writers I will send you a letter. see u later.
i agree with you sister betty can do better than Archie and she can always get a divorcie and see Adem
Im happy for Betty like really really happy! But now i dont think Archie is good enough for her. i mean he is married, has kids, a job and is willing to give all that up for another girl. whats to say that he wont do it again and again. i think that he should be made to choose once and for all with no influence from fans, friends or relitaves
this is horrible!! how can u let kids read this!?! i used to like archie comics but thi is just wrong wrong wrong!!!
the twins veronica
what will they do
WRONG
HEY!!! Who are you calling a dumb blond? That's not very nice of you. Betty is rather equal to Veronica , or maybe even better. She has many accomplishments that Veronica doesn't have. I don't think Archie is dumping Veronica for Betty but he probably went down the other lane up Memory Lane.So you don't have to worry about Archie leaving Veronica and the twins for Betty.
Who the heck wants Veronica's sloppy seconds?! I knew Betty would be his fall back girl. This is so messed up. He should have chosen Betty in the first place. I just want to see the look on Veronica's spoiled face when Archie leaves her. But I am curious how this is going to work, especially since they have kids. Is Archie comics approving of adultery and divorce?
P.S. Betty should dump a soda on his stupid head. :)
duude Archie is a tool. Veronicas tool. thats the way it should be, Betty deserves better, Betty should be with Jughead. Shes so pathetic for running at any chance to be with Archie.
=) YAY BETTY IS BETTER THAN RON!!!!!but that stinks because he will probley cheat on betty like ron. Reggie and Ron do look good together!!!:):):):):):)
why are they doing this?
what will happen after all of this happens?
How will archie comics go on?!
Okay!
for one thing, betty should not get reggie.
and another thing, archie's twins are going to be so sad!
i dont want it because betty comes second she is not that girl who will agree to destroy a family
i think that archie would not marry any1 and the story again continues...
No i think betty should marry jughead and say no to archie!
O.K. .... I think I get it........ He walks down memory lane and chooses the other path......than marries Betty which means everything will be the same all over again....
Good choice Archiebald! But he gets twins with Betty to!
Yayy!!
Archie is gonna make Betty So Happy when they get married!! YAY FOR BETTY :D
happy!!!! happy!!!!! happy!!!! for betty
Okay guys, please don't all roar a big angry ship-obsessed roar, but I'm actually a little annoyed with this new development. Betty was very gracious during Ron's wedding, and the talk she had with Archie during that seemed to offer her some closure of sorts.
Also, everyone knows about Archie's infamous wandering eyes syndrome. He needs someone who has a bit of a spine (titanium spine) to snap him back into focus.
What Betty needs, is time to get over the guy, because she's already had to adjust to life without him. Archie making another adjustment would just be unfair to both girls. They demanded answers from him for so long for a reason. Neither liked to be strung on.
Besides, everyone says that Betty deserves him, but I have to say that Veronica actually deserves him, because Betty deserves so much better. Betty wouldn't have too much trouble finding someone who would really care about her and solely her.
This sudden turn of events is just like the Archie writers, we think they've finally made a decision, and then suddenly they go back to square one, and I've got to say, at some point, people start to get tired of it. I think that they need this storyline to clear things up. But to do that, they shouldn't do something based on fan response, they should do it based on whether or not it's in character for the characters. Otherwise, this storyline isn't closure for us, it's kind of fake.
This is really weird, first Archie gets Married to Veronica,Archie gets a job from Veronica's father,they have Twins,Then Archie Asks Betty to marry him I'M SHOCKED WITH A CAPITAL S I just finished Book 4 what will happen Next I can't WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't belive this! Arch already had twins with Ron and now he's with Bets. This is nuts. But I am happy for Bets. But this is really nuts.
OMG Archie u left a girl who just had twins u nutbar!!!
It's all a dream sequence. Archie will see his life with Betty and Veronica. It's not real.
It's a dream sequence. Archie is going to see his life with Veronica and then Betty. It's not real. Hope that answers your questions.
It all makes perfect sense: Veronica secretly duped Archie into proposing, but when he found out that the twins are actually Reggie's he dumped her and went to his true love.
whew.... m releived to hear the archie going to get married to betty....i love betty....betty is the best wife for archie.....
Archie's carrot top dome is exactly what it is,a dome,empty,he's so confused.Even in his twenties he isn't sure abt what he wants in life or what he wants with life.
Veronica STILL as always,cares about nothing but herself.
There's a lot i've got to say with respect to her,but...nevermind.
I think Betty and Jason Blossom should get together,he's been in love with her since like forever.They would make a lovely couple.I think Betty is a wonderful girl and deserves someone SO much better than Archie.
As for Veronica,I think she and Reggie are just perfect each other.
First let's wait for Archie to grow up atleast before we see him getting married.
I don't think anyone of the girls deserves the heartache
They have got thanks to Archie and his unsettled mind.
He's gunna walk down the other path! I can tell!
i think this is something happening wrong.when i started reading archies i really hoped that archie would marry betty but then archie married veronica they are having twins and time has passed now archie is doing wrong with betty and i think betty should forget archie and move on to her life because if betty and archie would marry they are doing wrong and everybodys life would get messed up
I thought archie was mariong ronnie
I don't like Betty getting married to Archie when he is married to Ronnie.
Grats betty! veronica sux! although she is pretty and sexy.. but betty de best! JIAYOU!
archie i am so proud of you
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HE DESERVES BETTY WOOHOO
OMG I CANT belive it!!! BETTY SHOULD MARRY ARCHIE I CANT WAIT TO READ IT !!!! OMG OMG
the two look the best with each other!!!YIPPY!
OMG i cant beleve it he is married 2 vironica they have kids 2 kids the twins!!
CONGRATZ 2 BETTY COOPER:-)
sorry vironica:'(
Veronica and Betty are so cute.
Since i've been reading the comics I always thought that Archie would purpose to Betty because she has always been loyal to him and I just couldn't believe that He purposed to Veronica and now she's pregnant!!! I now I heard that he's purposing to betty, I think Archie needs to look at the big picture!!
??? Is this meant to say something about the real world? Divorce should not happen that quick or that easy...this draws away from the Archie comics we know and love!
I think archie is dreaming of the future. He's trying to decide which girl would be better.
It simple archie is taken back to memory lane goes down the other road see that life and in the end he decides what rode makes him happiest
you are so lucky betty!!
congratz!!!!!!!!!!
betcha veronicas jealous
huh!!!!!!!!!!??????????????
It is all just a dream! The whole thing! Archie will never really get married!
remember people. I think this is to show what Archie thinks what might have happen if he was with betty or veronica. Since he walked down memory lane. This is to help short his feelings between them. Either way I'm happy with who ever he chooses.
wow archie good choice this is amazing i can not to read about it
yaY WHOO HOO YIPEEE
I cant wait to read this one I hope Betty and Archie stay married.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD FOR THEM!!!!!!!! THEY FINALLY FOUND THEIR LOST HEADS! (lol) Betty has ALWAYS been better than Veronica in MY world. Three cheers for the dudes who create these comics!
umm i belive that archie should stay with veronica cus betty is sooo ugly and desperate and hr clothes are always ugly she never changes up her style at least weronica does and if they do get married veronica and archie would still be close because they have kids together so take that betty fan
signed veronicas number 1 fan!!!
I agree, Betty and Reggie would make an awesome couple! Betty CANNOT marry Archie! C'mon girl, aren't you tired of always playing second fiddle?
i feel archie and betty are the perfect couple.i was fuming mad when i heard archie marries veronica.i wonder if they get kids?
Wow!!I am so happy Ican cry!!
Betty,congratulations!!You totally deserve it!!
I am glad Archie dumped Veronica and chose you!!
Wish you luck to have clever and beautiful children!!
May you and Archie love each other forever!!
I think I know what's up....... arcjie walks down one path and marries Veronica, right? So, he walks off one day and goes down the OTHER path and marries Betty! And THEN, when he walks smack through the TREES, he marries
a) nobody. He dies alone at 93.
b) Jughead, by force
c) goes to the middle east and has a huge harem and 409 children!
Make a choice.........what is the middle of the trees!
MWHA_HA)HA!
THIS IS DUMENTED!
