Chapter 28
*Bailey's POV*
Talk about agility because those three wardrobe specialist droids made the dresses and what ever outfits Ben, Finn, and Poe were wearing for the wedding all in two days. That's amazing. We were really excited. But we didn't want to see them until the next day, which happens to be the wedding day, because we wanted to be surprised. After the dresses and the uniforms were made, a few people of the Alliance had volunteered to help decorate part of the forest with handmade lanterns of where Ben and I were getting married. We even decided to get married when the sunsets. Makes it look like a romantic setting, like I've seen in movies back on Earth.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, it was me and Ben's wedding day. Ben and I had separate changing tents because it's a tradition where the bride and groom don't see each other until the ceremony. So, I didn't know what Ben, Finn, or Poe were wearing, but I couldn't wait to see them. I saw my wedding dress for the first time; it looked so beautiful. I requested that my wedding dress would look exactly like the black dress that Ben had given to me when we danced together, except in traditional white, to surprise Ben. I also had shiny, silver one-inch strap-on heels as well. My sisters' maid of honor dresses were off the shoulder sleeve, knee-length, royal blue dresses. Rey's bridesmaid dress was the same dress type, except it was in a sky blue color. My mom and Leia wore different dresses, but the dresses were both in a navy blue color. My nieces' dresses were white with a baby blue ribbon around the middle of their dresses.
We had droids doing our hair and makeup. My sisters, Rey, and my mom's hair was curled, Leia went with her traditional braided hairstyle, and my hair was wavy with a braid on each side of my head. Once the droids were done fixing my hair and makeup, Rey and my sisters helped me put on my dress.
Once my dress was on, I turned around to face my mom, Leia, and my nieces. They looked at me in amazement. My mom started to tear up. Luckily, a droid pulled out a handkerchief and dabbed it under my mom's eyes before the tears could ruin her makeup. "Oh, Bailey. It seems like only yesterday, I was holding you in my arms the moment you were born. Now you're all grown up and you're getting married. I love you so much, Bailey." My mom said and I hugged her. She returned the hug. "I love you too, mom." I said and we pulled away from our hug. "Here. Don't forget your necklace." My mom said, as she put my tiny silver heart necklace around my neck. "Thank you, mom."
Then, I hugged my sisters and Rey in a group hug. "You look absolutely beautiful, Bailey." Rey said. "Thank you, Rey. And you three look stunning as well." I said. "Thank you." All three of them said at the same time. "I can't believe that my baby sister is getting married." Alexis said. "Why did you have to grow up so quickly?" Jourdan said. I chuckled. "Well, just think, Jourdan, now you're going to be the last one in the family to get married." I said. Jourdan looked annoyed. "Don't even remind me." Jourdan said. We all laughed. Then, we pulled away from our group hug and I kneeled down and I hugged my nieces.
Then, I stood up. "I have something for you, Bailey. Something old, something new for my daughter-in-law." Leia said, as she held a small box out in front of me and opened it, revealing a small silver tiara. I gasped in awe. "It was mine when I was crowned Princess of Alderaan. I've only worn it once. It's yours now, Bailey." Leia said. "Thank you so much, Leia. It's beautiful." I said and she took it out of the box and she, gently, placed it on my head. Then, I gave Leia a hug.
"Hey, are you ladies ready?" We heard Poe's voice from outside of the changing tent curtain entrance. My sisters, Rey, and I giggled a bit. "Yes." We all said, at the same time, then, we all stepped out of the changing tent. We saw Finn, Poe, Chewie, my dad, and BB-8 standing outside waiting for us. Ben was nowhere around. The sky was orangish-pink as the sun was setting out in the sky. It looked so beautiful and breath-taking. Finn and Poe were wearing white V-neck long sleeve shirts tucked into black pants and black boots, just like Ben wore that one time. They looked amazing in their outfits. Chewie didn't wear an outfit. My dad wore a white button-up long sleeve shirt with black pants and a black formal jacket.
They all looked at me in amazement. "Bailey, you look absolutely beautiful." Poe said. "Absolutely gorgeous." Finn said. "Thank you both so much." I said and I gave both of them a hug. Chewie gave me a hug and he growled, nicely. I chuckled and said, "Thank you, Chewie." Then, Chewie released me. BB-8 beeped, merrily. I chuckled and said, "You as well, BB-8." Then, I walked up to my dad. He was on the verge of tears. "I can't believe this is actually happening. My little girl getting married. I'm so happy for you, Bailey, and I love you so much." He said, as he hugged me. I hugged him back. "I love you too, dad." I said, trying to hold back my tears. Then, we pulled away from our hug.
"Let's get this show on the road, everyone." I said, excitingly. My nieces stood in front of us with BB-8 in between them to escort them since they were toddlers and they were the first to go. My mom and Leia were going to walk together. Rey and Chewie stood behind my mom and Leia. Then, Finn and Jourdan stood behind them with Poe and Alexis behind them. My dad and I were going last, of course. Some of the droids that helped do our hair and makeup gave me, my sisters, and Rey a bouquet of white daisies that have grown on the planet. Then, they gave my nieces a basket full of flower pedals.
As soon as the orchestral music started playing, my nieces walked, slowly, while BB-8 rolled, slowly, down a dirt pathway with flower pedals on the sides, then, they turned to the left and they went down the aisle. I could hear people saying 'awe'. Then, my mom and Leia, with their hands clasped together in front of them, started walking down the pathway and they turned to the left to walk down the aisle. After that, Rey and Chewie walked down the pathway and they turned to the left. Then, Finn and Jourdan walked down the pathway along with Poe and Alexis behind them. "You ready, Bailey?" My dad asked me. I took a breath and I wrapped my arm around my dad's arm and answered, "Yeah. I'm ready, dad."
Then, I heard different orchestral music playing and my dad and I started walking down the pathway, slowly. As soon as we turned to the left, I could see everyone, standing, looking at my dad and I, while smiling. Although, I was nervous, I was still smiling. I looked ahead and I saw Ben, smiling at me, wearing the same outfit as Finn and Poe, with a wise old man standing on the center of a platform that was almost covered with different types of flowers. As my dad and I were still walking down the aisle, a nice summer breeze blew blossom pedals all around, looking like snow falling and looking so magical. When my dad and I approached Ben, he bowed his head as my dad put my arm around Ben's arm and we stepped upon the platform. I handed Alexis my bouquet of daisies and Ben and we held our hands together as we looked into each other's eyes.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here this evening in celebration of Ben and Bailey's marriage on the planet, Creatune." The old man said. "Let us begin, shall we? Ben, do you take this woman to be your wife, to love her, to comfort her, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?" "I do." Ben said, smiling. "Bailey, do you take this man to be your husband, to love him, to comfort him, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?" "I do." I said, smiling.
"May I have the rings, please?" The old man asked, as Alexis handed me the ring and Poe handed Ben the ring. "Ben, place this ring on Bailey's finger and repeat these words: 'With this ring, I thee wed and I will love you forever.'" Ben placed the ring on my finger and said, "With this ring, I thee wed and I will love you forever." "Bailey, place this ring on Ben's finger and repeat these words: 'With this ring, I thee wed and I will love you forever.'" I placed the ring on Ben's finger and said, "With this ring, I thee wed and I will love you forever." We smiled at each other.
"And by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Ben, you may kiss the bride." The old man said. Ben and I, then, leaned in and we kissed each other. Everyone was clapping and cheering. Ben and I pulled away from our kiss and we turned to face everyone. "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Solo." The old man announced, then, he stepped off the platform, leaving Ben and I up on the platform alone.
Then, everyone was coming up one at a time on the platform towards Ben and me, congratulating and hugging us. The sun had set and the night sky appeared with lots and lots of bright, twinkling stars shining from above. Moments later, some people were talking to each other while other people were making room in the center of the forest for me and Ben's first dance and they were lighting up the handmade lanterns that were all around.
As Ben and I waited on the platform, we looked at each other. "You're so beautiful, Bailey. I'm glad that we're finally married." Ben said, softly. "Thank you, Ben, and you look very handsome as well. And I'm glad that we're finally married too." I said. Then, we kissed for a few seconds and, then, we looked out into the open forest area from the back of the platform, where four figures that I recognized were standing from a short distance, smiling at us. Obi-Wan, Anakin, Luke, and Yoda, in Force-Ghost form. We smiled back at them. Ben was probably even more excited to finally see his grandfather for the first time.
Then, another figure appeared next to them. It was a man with gray hair, wearing a white shirt, a brown jacket, brown pants, and brown boots. Instead of blue, like the other four, he had white glowing all around him. He was smiling at us. "I'm so proud of you, my son." The man said. It was Han Solo! I looked at Ben and he smiled even more while looking at Han. "Thank you...father." Ben said. I looked at Han and smiled at him. Han smiled back and nodded at me. "Take good care of Ben...Bailey." He said. I nodded back. "Will do, Han." I said.
Then, I felt a hand on my forearm. I looked down and saw Leia in between Ben and me. "Ready for your first dance, you two?" She asked. Ben and I chuckled a bit and said, at the same time, "We are." She, then, escorted us off the platform while I glanced back at Han, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Luke, and Yoda and I winked at them before turning back. Leia escorted us to the center of a circle of the forest and she stood in the crowd that was surrounding us with my family. Ben put his hand on my waist while I put one hand on his shoulder and we clasped our other hands together and we began to slow dance as soon as new orchestral music was playing.
As we danced, I looked at my family and they all smiled at me with joy. Then, I looked at Leia, Rey, Finn, Poe, Chewie, and everyone in the crowd and they all had smiles on their faces. Even though C3PO, R2-D2, and BB-8 were droids, I knew that they were still happy. Lastly, I looked at Ben, who was smiling at me as well. "I love you, Bailey." He said. "I love you too, Ben." I said. Then, I leaned in and kissed Ben, the man who had taken me away from my family from Earth, the man who was known as the fearsome Kylo Ren, the man who's now my husband, and the man who came from a galaxy far, far away.
The End.
