When Cruz had asked Lightning to drive her down the isle he hadn't known what to say. He knew her own father had died many years ago and that she wasn't particularly close to anyone in her family but he had still just assumed that she would have asked one of them. He never in a million years thought that she'd ask him, but all those months ago over her embarrassed gibbering he'd said yes.
Today he was once again speechless as she drove out of Ramon's in a coat of white paint with a bouquet of cream and yellow flowers. She had never looked so young.
"How do I look?" She asked nervously.
"Beautiful." Lightning smiled honestly.
She beamed back at him before they drove out of the parlour and towards the town hall. After Ramon sent her a wink of good look before he slipped inside to sit down and tell everyone that they'd arrived Cruz turned bashfully to Lightning.
"Are you sure you don't mind walking me down the isle?"
He chuckled kindly. "Of course not. What father doesn't want to drive their daughter down the isle."
If possible she smiled even brighter than before and gave him a quick peck on the cheek as the doors opened to reveal the already tear marked faces of their friends and family as well as a starstruck Natalie Certain from the end of the isle who was looking at Cruz as though she had just seen angel.
