POV-Ahsoka Tano
I awoke with my heart pounding against my chest. I got out of bed and eyed Courscant with excitement. Everyone has been talking about this day. The day that will not only change me but the entire galaxy!
With the refresher starting, I took off my clothing and stepped inside the shower.
Minutes Later…
"Ahsoka!" Barriss laughed, hugging me. "Are you ready?"
"Yeah…" I yawned.
"You look tired" She admitted.
I nodded. "It must be the warm air that makes me sleepy."
A smile appeared on her face. "Funny. I'll throw my bouquet if I notice you drifting away."
"Thanks." I chuckled. "Let's just get on with it."
Barriss took me to the enormous bathroom in the entire Jedi Temple and sat me on a black comfortable chair.
"So… you'd rather spent your entire life with a legendary man than to finish your dream of becoming a Jedi Knight?" She asked as she did my make-up.
"I'd rather die than to stay away from him, Barriss." I told her.
She scoffed; after a few minutes of powdering, outlining, and smearing, Barriss grabbed the white bag that hanged inside the closet.
"Oh, gosh." I sighed, trying to breathe.
"Calm down, 'Soka." Barriss told me. "Don't stress yourself on your big day."
I nodded, panting. "Alright… I'm sorry- I'm just so nervous. I-I can't believe this is really happening to me!"
"Here, use this to fan yourself." She handed me a magazine so I can find myself with air. "I'm going to get Aayla. Can you pull yourself together until I come back?"
A smile formed my lips. "Yeah, sure."
Minutes later, she came back with Aayla.
Aayla Secura is a Twi'lek from the planet Ryloth. Many younglings and padawans look up to her. She helped me get Anakin Skywalker the help he needed when he was badly injured.
Barriss and Aayla both helped me in my dress. Aayla zipped up the back of it while Barriss placed my tiara between my montrals, the long veil touching the ground.
"Wow, Ahsoka! You look amazing!" Barriss grinned.
All of us then started to hear footsteps coming and going. Voices filling the Temple.
"Oh, no." I whispered
"Ahsoka…" Barriss rolled her eyes.
"Padawan Offee." Aayla stared at her and then at me.
"Ahsoka, what is it?" She questioned, touching my shoulder.
I hesitated. "I don't know anymore… I'm scared. I know I'm making the right decision. I want to get married. I love him. I… but what will the Republic think? Not about me but about him!"
"No need to worry, Ahsoka. Don't listen to anyone. Yes?"
I sighed but nodded, before Riyo Chuchi and Barriss arrived.
"Alright, Ahsoka! It's time!" Barriss smiled.
She, now, was wearing a black dress but she still wore her cloak.
"Barriss… wow." I breathed.
Aayla wore a brown mini dress. "Plo-Koon's coming."
I took deep breaths. The knocks on the door made me jump.
"Wow. My little 'Soka… growing up!" He cried, hugging me.
My hands flew to my mouth. "Oh… my…Master Plo! You look… wow!" I laughed as he rolled his eyes. I, then, slipped my hang through his arm. "Just… don't let me fall."
"Never." He sighed.
The music began to play. My three nice bridesmaids made their way down the hall, through the enormous doors and onto the aisle. The flower girl was a Twi'lek named Numa, who was the first one to touch the golden carpet.
"'Soka, before we go… Anakin told me to give you this." He told me and held out his hand.
In his hand was a gold necklace with a small circle clinging to it. Not just a circle, no, it was unique because it had the Virgin of Guadalupe in the center of it; which my people call her 'La Reina De Shili.'
My hand trembled. "It's so… beautiful." I whispered almost crying.
Plo-Koon then was behind me and placed it on its rightful place. He led me to the aisle seconds later.
As I walked down the aisle, I glared at the beautiful designed room. I bet the entire Temple was like this. Flowers everywhere, twinkling lights hanging everywhere, white satin covering the chairs. Flowers garments also hanging from the ceiling.
I actually now noticed that clone troopers were guarding the hallways, the entrance, the doors, mostly everywhere in the Jedi Temple.
I ignored that and saw my friends rising from their seats with a warm welcoming smile. Master Yoda, Sugi, Nossor Ri, Jocastanu, Prince Lee Char, Quinlan Voss, Clone Commander Cody and Wolffe, Captain Rex, Jaybo Hood, Adi Gallia, Embo, Jar-Jar Binks, Korkie, Satine, O-Mer, Cham Syndulla, Meena Tills, Mace Windu, Jinx, Kit Fisto, Ki- Adi- Mundi, Eeth Koth, Queen Neeyutnee, Senator Kharrus, Bail Organa, Onaconda Farr, Senator Philo, Wag-Too, Admiral Yularen, Tee Wat Kaa, Captain Typho and Sionver Boll.
I smiled wider when I saw R2-D2 and Obi-Wan Kenobi next to him. Anakin's eyes were light up and his face was full with life. Like if it was glowing. His body was trembling with anxiety and excitement.
Tears filled up my eyes ever since I laid my eyes on him. Plo-Koon handed me to Anakin.
I sighed happily, my breath shuttering. We both smiled as we walked up the staircase. He studied me with eager blue eyes.
The same vows said for over thousands of generations echoed through the walls.
"I, Anakin Skywalker, take you, Ahsoka Tano, to be my wife. To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse. For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health. To Love and to hold and to cherish; from this day forward as long as we both shall live." He vowed.
I took a deep breath. "I, Ahsoka Tano, take you, Anakin Skywalker, to be my husband. To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse. For richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to Love and to cherish; from this day forward as long as we both shall live." I choked out, smiling.
The Priest, then, asked Anakin the words that would change our lives.
"I Do." He grinned
Anakin winked at me and I couldn't help but giggle while blushing.
I didn't realize I was crying. "I Do."
The Priest finally pronounced us husband and wife.
Anakin cupped my face with his hands. He leaned in slowly and finally his soft lips touched mine. The kiss didn't last long since our families and friends cleared their throats.
Barriss was the first one to find me. She embraced me, almost crying.
"Congratulations!" She cried, tears leaving her eyes.
"Thanks, Barriss." I whispered, wiping my own tears. "Don't worry, I'll see you soon. I promise."
"That's all I need to hear." She silently laughed.
Obi-Wan smiled. He gave Anakin a man hug and he kissed my forehead.
"I'm proud of you two." He admitted
I grinned and gave him a tight hug.
"I love you, Obi-Wan." I murmured.
"Me too, Ahsoka. Me too." He, then, pulled away as he wiped his own tears.
Master Shaak Ti sang a song from our home planet Shili. I knew she sang beautifully… so, that's what why I asked her.
The guitars, trumpets, and other interments started to play. After a few seconds she began. The name of the song: "Guadalupe" Ana Barbara.
I really just love this song. Master Ti sung so lovely just like the singer.
