Marceline's POV
I look at myself and examine the clothes I'm wearing. Nice dress black boots, nice pressed black suit pants, a red suit shirt with a black vest, and one white tie. Which was supposed to be red but I got nervous and ate the red so now it's white. And to top it all off I'm wearing a perfectly fitted suit jacket. I look pretty damn good in a suit not only that I placed my hair back into a basic pony tail. So I look even better.
I hear a knock at my door and my good buddy Finn walks in. He's dressed in a suit too except his shirt is light blue with a white tie and white dress shoes. I chuckle a bit seeing that he still has his hat on.
"Ready to go out there Marceline?" He asked happily
I smile "As ready as I'll ever be" still feeling a bit nervous
"Well come on man, don't wanna be late for your own wedding" he said smiling while opening the door wide and rushing out
I can't help but smile at this kid's hyper active energy. I take a deep breath and slowly float my way out of the room. As soon as I got up to the alter stage I decide it would be best to actually stand on my feet. I look around for a moment and see all of my friends and candy citizens sitting down and chatting quietly amongst themselves. Then a soft violin plays out and everyone stands up. The two large double doors open up and there stands the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
Standing there in a white elegant grown is the person I can't be without. Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum. I swallow a small lump in my throat feeling nervous again. I look back at Finn and he grins giving me the thumbs up. I smile back and breathe again watching as this beautiful young woman walk up to the alter and stand in front of me. I carefully remove the veil and look into those beautiful eyes that stare into my soul. We must have been staring at each other for a long time because Peppermint cleared his throat loudly in order for us to pay attention. To which was cute because we ended up blushing at one another.
An old candy priest smiles "Citizens we are gathered here today" …..
End of Marceline's POV
The wedding ceremony was over and now everyone was enjoying the wedding reception. Candy people are dancing along with other citizens from different kingdoms that came a long way for this wedding. The now Queen of the Candy Kingdom smiles watching everyone dance till a voice calls her out.
"Keep smiling like that and your cheeks are going to hurt" the voice said chuckling
The young woman smiles more and wraps her arms around her lover "It's worth it"
Marceline smiles and pulls her Queen closer to her "I couldn't agree with you more sugar" then presses a soft kiss on the others lips.
As the party went on the music settled down and everyone looked to the stage seeing Peppermint butler walk up on stage.
"As tradition it is now for our newlyweds to have their first dance together, but the song will be sang by none other than our Queen Marceline" he said happily
Everyone cheered as the Queens slowly made their way to the middle of the dance floor. Bubblegum couldn't help but lightly blush as her vampire hooked up a mic earpiece. As soon as she was hooked up she gave a slight nod to the small orchestra. A soft piano plays out and the Queens slowly sway to the music.
Marceline looks into her lover's eyes and starts to sing to her
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
She slowly twirls the Candy Queen and gently pulls her back close to her
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Bubblegum couldn't help but tear up a bit as she glides across the dance floor with her wife
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
Marceline notices the tears and caresses lets her thumb caress the tears away then carefully twirls her lover once again.
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Queen Bubblegum couldn't help it anymore; she quickly wrapped her arms around her lover's neck holding on tightly and softly cry against her partner. Marceline lightly smiles and holds onto her wife.
One step closer
One step closer
They held onto each other not letting go and slowly swayed side to side with the music
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
As soon as the music ended everyone cheered and whistled loudly. Marceline felt her wife pick up her head and look up at her. The vampire couldn't help but smile and wipe the tears away.
"I love you Bonnibel" she softly whispered
The Candy Queen sniffled a bit and smiled "I love you too Marceline"
They leaned into one another and shared a kiss. The kiss that proved that their love lasted long than a thousand years.
P.S. - I THINK THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN TWILIGHT! ;)
