Chapter 8: Wedding

P.O.V. [Name]

I sighed as I paced back and forth in the small room I was in. "You need to calm down," Wave said as he looked at me. "If you keep thinking about it, you're going to talk yourself out of it," Wave said as he looked at me.

"That's easy for you to say, you're not in my position," I said as several scenarios began to go through my head. "What if I mess up my vows, or if I accidently say the wrong thing, what if the remaining members of Night Raid decide to attack," I said as I continued to think about what could wrong.

"Like I said, you need to calm down or you're going to talk yourself out of it," Wave said as he looked at me. He then began to walk up to me and placed a hand on my shoulder. "Trust me, nothing's going to go wrong. You've been practicing for this so you're not going to mess anything up, and Esdeath has almost a quart of the imperial guards here so if any members of Night Raid do attack we'll know before they can do any serious damage," He said as he looked at me.

I nodded hearing this and took a deep breath as he looked at me. "Y-yeah, you're probably right," I said as I looked at him. I then walked over to the door and opened it slightly to look out of it. We had invited several people in the guard as well as a few other friends. I had Wave as my best man simply because I couldn't find my master otherwise I undoubtedly would have asked him to be my best man. However sin he wasn't here Wave was the next best choice.

Leone had also asked Seryu, Kurome, and Esdeath to be her bridesmaids. The emperor had even agrees to attend. Those two reasons are probably the reason why Esdeath was so willing to have so many people guard this building. "It's almost time," Wave said with a smile as he once again placed his hand on my shoulder. I took a deep breath and nodded as I walked out of the room and into position.

I stood in place feeling my nervousness building I heard some music begin to play. When it did the door opened and Leone began to walk down the aisle with beautiful dress. She insisted on a dress that didn't have many frills and didn't stand out to much. Most likely so that if anything did go wrong she would be ready to fight in it. I watched as she slowly walked up to me and once she was in front of me I smiled and slowly lifted the vail as I looked at her.

"You look beautiful," I said with a smile as I took her hand into mine. She smiled hearing this and the priest cleared his throat. Feeling a bit embarrassed I turned to him and nodded. "You may begin," I said as I looked at him.

"Yes, please do," Leone said as she looked at him. The male nodded and began to look out at the crowd.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the sight of the emperor to join this man, and this woman in holy matrimony. Not to be entered into lightly, holy matrimony should be entered into solemnly and with reverence and honor. Into this holy agreement these two persons come together to be joined. If any person here can show cause why these two people should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace," the male said as he looked out at the crowd.

I listened for someone to say anything and as expected the room was quiet. "Marriage is a sacred union between husband and wife and shall remain unbroken. It is the basis of a stable and loving relationship and is a joining of two hearts, bodies and souls. The husband and wife are there to support one another and provide love and care in times of joy and times of adversity," The male said as I continued to look at Leone. She was so beautiful that it was almost hard to concentrate on what he was saying.

"We are all here today to witness the joining in wedded bliss of [Name] and Leone. This joyous day celebrates the commitment and love with which [Name] and Leone start their lives together. Through the emperor, you are joined together in the most holy of bonds," The male said as he looked at us. We had to alter this part of the vows slightly since we didn't have our parents come and we couldn't find anyone to play the roles of our parents at our wedding.

It wasn't a big alteration we just asked that a small portion be skipped between this part and the part that everyone cared about. The male then turned to look at me. "Do you, [Name] take Leone to be your lawfully wedded wife and live together forever in the estate of holy matrimony? Do you love, comfort, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse for as long as you both shall live?

"I do," I said with a smile as I looked at the female in front of me. The male nodded hearing this and turned to look at Leone.

"Do you, Leone take [Name] to be your lawfully wedded husband and live together forever in the estate of holy matrimony? Do you love, comfort, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse for as long as you both shall live?

"I do," Leone said with a smile as she looked at me. The male then made a gesture with his hand and a young male walked up to us with a pillow that was carrying the rings.

"The wedding ring is an unbroken symbol of the everlasting love and commitment between man and wife," The male said as he reached for one of the rings and handed it to me. "Repeat after me," He said as he looked at me. "With this ring, I thee wed," The male said as he looked at me. I nodded hearing and looked at the female in front of me.

"With this ring, I thee wed," I said as Leone held out her hand and spread her fingers that I could place the ring on her finger. The male then handed a ring to Leone.

"And you do the same," He said as he looked at her causing her to now.

"With this ring, I thee wed," Leone said with a smile as I let her place the ring on my finger.

"What the emperor has joined together, let no man put asunder. With the power vested in me by the emperor and the great empire I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride," The male said as he looked at us. When he said this I reached for to cup Leone's cheek causing her to blush slightly as we both leaned forward to connect our lips together in a sweet and passionate kiss.

The crowd then cheered and we waved to them slightly and I looked at Leone as she activated her imperial arm and turned around throwing the bouquet high into the air almost hitting the ceiling of the tall building the we were in. I watched to see who would be the one to catch it, and was a bit surprised when I saw that Kurome was the lucky girl. Then again maybe I shouldn't have been surprised by this outcome her and Wave were always rather close.

I smiled as I took her hand and began to walk down the aisle of with her. "I've got a surprise I want to show you," I said with a smile as I looked at the female in front of me.

"Me too," She said as she looked at me. I smiled hearing this and we walked out of the building together. When we did there was a small carriage and I smiled as I began to walk towards it with Leone. Once we were both in the small vehicle the male began to take us to a small and slightly isolated part of the city.

"Where are we going?" Leone asked as she looked at me.

"You'll see," I teased as I looked at the female in front of me. It took us a while to arrive however when we did I turned to look at Leone. We came to a stop in front of a slightly large house. "Welcome to our new home," I said with a smile as I looked at her. When I said this she turned to look at me shocked.

"I've been saving up for a while . . . a few years actually but the point is, I managed to gather enough to buy a house," I said as I looked at the female in front of me. She looked at the building shocked and began to walk towards it. "So . . . what do you think?" I asked as I looked at the blonde in front of me. I was starting to become a bit nervous seeing as how she wasn't saying anything however my nervousness faded as she turned around and hugged me tightly.

"I love it!" She said as she looked at me. I smiled and sighed a bit relieved hearing this and looked down at her.

"I'm glad to hear it," I said as she stopped hugging me. "So, what was it you wanted to show me?" I asked a bit curious as I looked at the female in front of me. She smiled hearing this reached into her dress and pulled out a small item. I couldn't tell what it was at first however I soon realized it was a pregnancy tester as she held it up in front of me with a smile.

"One line for negative, two for positive," She said as I looked at it to see that it had two lines.

"Y-You mean you're-" I began only to earn a nod from her with a smile. I was shocked hearing this before a massive grin spread across my face and I picked her up in a hug. "That's great!" I said with a smiled as I continued to hold her. I then began to make my way towards the house with her in my arms. This may be a problem for our plans to overthrow the prime minister but I don't care. This is without a doubt the best day ever.
