Hello, I'm ready to write my newest fanfic. I wanted to do a wedding of Merida and Hiccup, so I hope you like it. Merry Christmas. P.s. After reading the chapter, please read the message at the bottom.


Chapter 1

The sun had risen over the kingdom of DunBroch, bringing the morning to another summers day. It would be just another day for some, but today was special, because it was the long awaited wedding day for Princess Merida and Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third.

Merida was sleeping peacefully until she felt the sun on her face which made her groan and turn in her bed. Merida eventually opened her still tired eyes and slowly tried to wake up, then a thought came to her, she remembered what was happening today. The princess pushed up on her elbow and sat up in bed. She gazed around her room and saw her wedding dress, this brought a bright smile grow on her face.

Merida never thought she would be so exicited for her wedding day because she had always thought of marriage like a death sentence. She would be married to a man who she may never loved and would be caged like a bird, never to be free again. Of course that was before she turned her mother into a bear with the assistance of a witch, after she was turned back to a human her mum decided to let her daughter find love in her own time. Merida thought she would never find love, especially after her experience when she was introduced to her former suitors. None had captured her heart, that was until she met Hiccup.

They first met when Merida found Hiccup and his dragon Toothless who had crash landed but both were fine. They spent a week together, but Hiccup didn't tell Merida or her family about him being a Viking, because Vikings and Scots were deadly enemies. When he finally told Merida the truth he was surprised by her reaction, she told Hiccup that she didn't care if he was a Viking, because he had already showed that Vikings weren't all the monsters that she had been told about, and besides, she had become very fond of him very quickly and surprisingly he felt the same way and the two has shared their first kiss.

Soon Hiccup and Merida were in a forbidden relationship, they both knew it was wrong and it would cause trouble (but they were used to being in trouble),but they loved each other and it felt right. For months the two teens kept it a secret, until Hiccup's dad, Stoick the Vast found out and planned to destroy DunBroch once and for all.

Luckily (thanks to their dragons) Hiccup and his friends beat the Viking Army to DunBroch to warn Merida and her family about his the Viking invasion. Unfortunately King Fergus and the other lords had led their men to fight the Vikings, Hiccup and Merida were able to stop the waring sides. They had both told them that they loved each other and at this whole hate thing between the Vikings and the Scots was pointless. They made a peace treaty and even though they succeeded, Merida and Hiccup didn't know how they would keep their love strong when they lived so far apart. The two talked about it before telling their parents, they decided one of them will go and live at the other's home. They were shocked at their plans but they realised that they were being mature and rational in their decision. Stoick made Hiccup The Ambassador of Berk so Hiccup could stay and of course Toothless stayed with him.

Merida got out of bed and walked to her window. The princess thought everything outside looked especially beautiful today, maybe it was normal for brides to think like that. Merida watched two birds flying happily together, she could relate to what they were feeling. She glanced down at her engagement ring, she rubbed it and it glinted more when the light caught it and she recalled the day Hiccup gave it to her.


4 months ago

Hiccup asked Merida if she wanted to go exploring one day. The princess wondered why he had invited her, because they usually went out together anyway. The couple, Toothless and Angus were out in the highlands exploring, they had done this since they were in their teens, there was always something new to find. They wouldn't have to travel far to reach Merida's archery range which Hiccup had made for her.

"Fancy a go Hic" the redhead asked as she just finished the 6th round of the course.

"No, no, I'm good" The Viking replied waving a hand "and you know I can't do it as well as you"

"Well you have improved since I gave you some lessons" Merida said as she walked up to him.

"You're right and also a great teacher" Hiccup said as he gently pulled her closer to him and touched his lips to hers, separating the two rubbed their noses together, smiled and chuckled, as they had many times before.

"So, what shall we do next?" Merida asked "racing, fishing or a quick fly on Toothless" when the dragon heard the last suggestion, he lay at the princess's side and licked her cheek. Merida didn't mind, she was used to him she reached out and stroked Toothless.

"Well, maybe we'll go flying but first I want you to see something" Hiccup said. Merida looked over to him and noticed he look slightly nervous, he had been like that all day.

"Oh, what is it?" She asked

"You'll see" he answered as he gently held her hand and led her toward the forest, until they came to a place which was familiar. It was where they had first met. It look the same except there was a target.

"Er...what is a target here for?" She question a bit confused as Toothless and Angus followed behind them.

The Viking bit his lip before he said " I thought you like to shot at this one"

Merida really wanted to question him but something was telling her to wait and go along with it.

"Ok, even though I just shot about 200 or so. It wouldn't hurt doing one more"

"Good, take your time" when Merida turned away, Hiccup rubbed the back of his neck, feeling nervous. He looked at his best friend who gave him a reassuring toothless smile. Hiccup felt a bit better, he'd been planning this for a while and hoped things wouldn't go wrong.

Merida raised her bow, took aim and fired. The arrow flew and hit the bullseye.

"I'll get it" she heard Hiccup say he hurried to fetch the arrow as Merida petted her horse. "Here you are M'lady " Hiccup passed her arrow to her.

"Thank you" she said and smiled at him as she took it, Merida nearly put the arrow back with the others, she felt something tap her hand. She noticed something on the arrow, she pull it off and took a closer look, it was a ring.

"Hiccup what's..." Merida asked in confusion but was more confused when she turned and saw Hiccup was on one knee, he took her hand and now Merida realised what was happening.

Hiccup took a breath and began "Merida, I know when we first met, that I never expected to fall in love with a someone who is the bravest, the most beautifully and the amazing woman, I am so lucky, the time we've had together is the best I've ever had. Well... You and the time with Toothless anyway...I just want to be with you and be yours forever, to share the rest of our lives together... Merida, would you marry me?"

Merida had started to tear up and she covered her mouth with her hand. "Yes" the princess manage to say "yes, a thousand times yes" she cried out with joy as she jumped forward towards Hiccup and kissed him, followed by Hiccup falling backwards but stopping himself and catching Merida in his arms. The Viking sealed their news with a kiss, relieved and happy at Merida's answer.

Hiccup sat up with Merida sitting in his lap. He slipped the ring on her finger, both of them smiled with joy.

"It's beautiful, Hiccup" Merida admired the ring " it must have been expensive"

"Actually, I made it"

"You did?" Merida asked, she had forgotting Hiccup's metal work skills.

"Yeah, rings are pretty easy to make but it took a while to make it perfect for you" Hiccup said holding her left hand. The ring was made out of gold which had tiny patterns, it also had 3 emeralds in the middle which reminded Merida of the colour of Hiccup's eyes.

"Were these the emeralds we found when we were trapped in the old cave"

"Yeah, I split the stone so I used pieces from it"

"I love it even more" Merida said and leaned into the Viking, they intertwined their fingers together and cuddled for a moment until Toothless came over to congratulate his friends by licking them on the cheek.

"Thanks for that bud" Hiccup chuckled before rubbing his best friend Toothless's ticklish spot.

"So,do you have anyone in mind for your best man" Merida asked, knowing exactly who Hiccup will pick.

"As a matter of fact, I do" Hiccup said with a smile as he turned to the dragon. " Toothless, would you be the best man"

Toothless's reply was... jumping on Hiccup and licking him all over the face.

"I'll take it that meants yes" Merida chuckled at the two best friends. Hiccup and Toothless had the strongest friendship she had ever known, so it was right that Toothless should be Hiccup's best man. The dragon purred as he got off the Viking and rubbed his head against the Princess's. Soon Merida's horse Angus give his congrats by rubbing his nose to Merida then to Hiccup.

After this Hiccup asked " So future Mrs Haddock would you still like to go flying or just cuddle more?"

"Mmm, we can do both, " Merida said brightly. the couple spend the rest of day exploring the sky before returning home.


The bride to be smiled, remembering that day fondly. Merida knew when her mother found out about her engagement, she would be planning instantly so she and Hiccup kept their engagement a secret for a month before telling their families and friends. Plans were be put into action, Elinor was organising it but Merida was able to have her say. It was her big day after all.

The redhead couldn't help but feel uneasy, a lot of things on her mind like if the wedding would run smoothly, would any enemies crash their ceremony but most of all, her future with Hiccup. She feared that down the line Hiccup might change in the worst way, losing the man that she loved.

Merida needed to clear her mind of these horrid thoughts and she knew exactly what to do, she got dress in her blue dress and grabbed her bow and arrows. opening her door quietly, Merida slowly made her way through the castle and out to the stables. Thankfully only a couple of staff were awake and none of them noticed Merida, not even the dragons steered as she walked passed them.

The Princess smiled when she saw her faithful steed,"Good morning Angus" Merida said as she opened the stable door. Angus sniffed and rubbed his head to her's. She hugged him before pulling back to look at her friend. "Can you guess what today is?" She waited until Angus grunted before she continued "Today is special, because it's my wedding day" Merida squeak excitedly as she bounced on the spot. Her horse neighed, sharing in Merida's joy but she shushed him, stroking him gently "I don't want anyone to know I'm here" she whispered, looking out for anyone who was walking around. "We're just going out for few hours before anyone notices I'm gone" she put Angus's saddle on him, then riding him quietly but quickly toward the grounds. When they reached the gate over the stone bridge, Angus instantly galloped and they were out into the woods.

As this was happening, her husband to be was still sleeping peacefully. Toothless who had slept in Hiccup's room last night, watched his best friend curled up in a blanket. The dragon growed softly and began to tug on the blanket. Hiccup groaned as he pulled it over his head.

"Toothless go back to sleep" Hiccup murmured but Toothless knew it was time to wake up. He walked to the bedside, poked his head under the covers and licked Hiccup's face.

"Ok,ok bud, I'm up" he laughed as Toothless rubbed his head to Hiccup' the young Viking hugged the dragon. When Hiccup pulled back, The Night Fury quickly moved to the window moved the hangings to show the sunlight as if telling Hiccup is was morning.

"I know, it's a lovely day but what's so special about today" he asked still half asleep. Toothless titled his head, as if asking "Have you forgetten what today is?" Hiccup didn't really know what his friend meant, so he lay back on his bed, shutting his eyes for a moment but then opened his eyes and promptly sat bolt upright a thought had hit him. "I'm getting married today"

Hiccup turned to Toothless who purred, the dragon was happy and excited for today unfortunately the groom to be was now feeling nervous and worried.

He never thought he would ever be married letter alone to a princess. Since he and Merida become a couple, they and their friends and family have had many adventures. They also made some new friends and enemies along the way. Hiccup thought some of their friends would be present at the ceremony, but Hiccup feared that one of their enemies could crash the wedding and cause chaos, especially Drago Bludvist who he believed was still alive. He didn't want anything horrible to happen, he didn't want their day ruined, because his life was now perfect and he didn't want it spoilt.

Toothless could see that Hiccup was worried so he rubbed he head to his again which worked, he smiled again at his friend.

"Thanks bud, I think I need some air to help settle my nerves" Hiccup said, he was about to say more but he was interrupted by Toothless, dropping his shirt on his face then the Night Fury put Hiccup's fake leg next to him.

"Thank you" he said sarcastically from under his shirt. He sighed and softly smiled at his dragon before saying "Fancy a quick flight? Hiccup grabbed Toothless's saddle, then they quickly walked down the hallways, hopefully they wouldn't wake anyone. It took the two of them some time to reach one of the towers, Hiccup then carefully placed the saddle on Toothless.

"Right just a quick flying trip and then we'll back before anyone knows were gone" Hiccup said as he climbed on Toothless. Toothless nodded and then the duo took to the air. They flew brilliantly, as Hiccup and Toothless soared up,up and across the Highland sky, Hiccup hoped today would be perfect in every way for him and for Merida.
