Welcome one! Welcome all! I hope you enjoy this! And believe me…your going to love it….:)
After several months of this story torturing me in my sleep, I had to start getting some of it out…at least part of it. What you are about to engage in is actually the prologue of my Kingdom Hearts next generation story of epicness. This is a short story to explain what the gang did with their futures, and how its going to play out for the spawn of our favorite fantasy couples (or possibly not so favorite…depends on which team you root for) Any way, I hope you enjoy this. You lovers of SoKai fluff are going to be squeeing in your seats with pleasure…at least I hope so^^ There are several very typical expected couples in this…and then some NOT so expected…which is what I pride myself on. Wonder who Riku is going to end up with? You'll never guess! But do it anyway, I'm curious^^
But anyway, I hope you enjoy the first part of the Sora and Kairi wedding fic. I tried to use a lot of beautiful imagery and symbolism to capture SoKai in its full extent, so please tell me if its appreciated. I need reviews! The more I have, the faster this gets out, and then the faster the actual story starts^^ haha think I'm bluffing? This sucker is pretty much written out…just try me! Lol I can torture you all if I want..but I wont! If you review that is^^ But anyway….guess I'll stop rambling. To anyone who actually read this…you are VERY patient. Please enjoy!
with love, the ever absent,

It was one of the happiest days that Destiny islands had seen in a long time. It was a day that had been waiting to happen so long, after several years of fates and trials and journeys. After the searching of their souls and the depth of their bonds had been tested, it had finally come to pass.
It was the day of Sora and Kairi's wedding.
It hadn't taken long for these two to realize that they had been eternally made for each other. After their second journey through Kingdom Hearts and having been reunited at last, the two had been attached at the hip. Inseparable. Realizing how much they needed to be together after being torn apart for that long year and a half.
After a year of just being together, as had been promised to their other halves, Roxas and Namine', it had been decided they wanted to be linked as officially as they could at their young age. It had come to pass on Kairi's sixteenth birthday.
She, Sora, and Riku had spent the day with the rest of their friends, celebrating. Happily being together on the wonderful islands they called home. Kairi found mere pleasure in the blessing of simple things like the togetherness of those close to her, but that didn't mean she still wasn't bestowed with gifts on her special day. Each gift carefully thought out, presented, and gratefully received. There had even been an otherworldly delivery, from King Mickey.
It had washed up on the beach of "their" special island, such as had many other things from him. In a carefully sealed package, attached with a note baring the King's insignia, was a tiara. It was made of a shining white gold in beautifully curled and simple yet stylish designs. A pink pearl was placed in the center, among all the curls and swirls in the design. It was beautiful simplicity, yet profound elegance at the same time. It was Kairi.
The note had stated that even though the gift may seem a tad out of place, the King assured her since she actually was a Princess, she might as well have the accessories that went with the title. Kairi was ecstatic. Riku and Sora had forced her to wear the prize the rest of the night. She hadn't fought about it, as was her nature.
At the ending of the night Sora and Kairi had managed to get off alone before everyone else left the island. Riku had made sure they did. The two had wandered off to a waterfall on the quietest place of the island at the time, the area populated with paopu trees.
Sora then presented her with his own gift. He had taken her hand and given it to her under the silent star lit sky, her star lit eyes only matching its majesty in his vision. It was a bracelet, on a gold linking heart chain, with one, yet exceedingly beautiful charm.
The charm was a solid gold, miniature replica of the Kingdom Key. Down to every last detail, even the small keychain dangling at its side. It was meant for profound symbolism. Sora had clasped the charm around her outstretched wrist, and the key charm dangled grazing the palm of her soft hand, which Sora then made wrap around the charm.
In doing this, Sora was saying to Kairi that since the Keyblade is the symbol of a bearer of light, she held within her delicate fingers the bearing to all the light that was in his world. A soft tear slid down her cheek.
She then through her arms around him, holding him, savoring the closeness of their special bond.
No words were needed. Actions would do till the end of time. It had been so clear to her for so long that Sora would be the safe holder of her heart, whether it beat in his own chest, or closely next to it.
It didn't take long for Sora to struggle to release Kairi and quickly run to produce a paopu fruit. One from their favorite tree. The one they had sat beside and discussed the future of their destinies, which had been unknown to them such a short time ago.
Sora and Kairi had each grabbed a piece and, in the action they had waited so long to do, split it in perfect harmony. Each took a bite, and then a strong presence could be felt. A bonding tie between them even greater than before, a light seeming to glow around them. This stage had been complete, their destiny's were now solidly intertwined through out their lifetimes.
Sora decided to seal this deal with a kiss.
It was their first kiss, their first ever-real kiss. Waiting had not taken its toll on the passion shared between it. It had only increased it, bursting like a dam of energy as their lips pressed and met heatedly together. Their first kiss under an island sky, with a crescendo of waterfall, accompanied by ocean waves and the sweet smell of the fruit of binding destiny in the air.
One simple sweet kiss would not do. They had to continue with two, and three, and four, and five, and ten, and twenty; till time and kisses could not be measured in the abyss of their ecstasy. The taste of the fresh paopu clung tantalizingly to their lips made it all the more addicting still.
It would be exceedingly obvious to say that after this night, Sora and Kairi were officially made a couple. Boyfriend-Girlfriend. An item. All the words needed to make it official were addressed.
And they continued blissfully like this, until their relationship intensified.
And then Sora proposed to Kairi. On her 20th birthday.
He had done it in almost an exact same manner as their first kiss. With the crescendo of ocean waves and a full night sky and a scent of paopu, and one million kisses. Except this time, there was a ring to accompany the rest of their good luck charms. This perhaps being more important than all the rest. It was a beautiful ring. A gold banded pink heart shaped diamond as the centerpiece, it was surrounded on the band by a series of smaller white diamonds. Six to be exact.
Kairi pretty much cried again. Letting tears of happiness fall for Sora's beautiful use of symbolism. She told him, "Yes." Yes a million times, till the end of time. One word never felt so right and perfect to the two of them before.
The plans were to go ahead for the two of them to get married.
First there was the matter of the guest list.
They wanted to invite all the important people of their past, unfortunately; most of them were beyond worldly boundaries. It would take some special permission, and of course transportation, to surpass these Boundaries.
They decided they would have to butter up King Mickey. He was the first to receive an invitation, in person of course. Sora, Riku, and Kairi were able to call in a favor from Donald and Goofy and get a gummi ship to take them to Disney Castle to deliver the good news. Mickey was thrilled as ever for the couple, though not completely oblivious to know that this is how things would turn out.
Of course they asked a certain favor of him Permission to enter among the boundaries of the other worlds to see their good friends once more. It was the permission to invite some of their most trusted allies to this solitary and special event.
King Mickey was reluctant, but was eventually broken down by Queen Minnie. She reminded him of their own wedding, and how it had been the most special day to each of them because so many of his masters and allies had been there to support them. Most of them had been from other worlds.
He gave them permission, but on the basis that the guests be selected carefully and could manage keeping the secret of this meddling from other worlds. Some magic may even be required to keep that promise.
Kairi thought she could distinctly remember queen Minnie giving her a wink as the King gave the sighed approval.
Now that the guests were a sure thing, the event would be perfect. Something out of the most clichéd and romantic fairytale. The princess of light and the hero of light overcoming the odds and professing their love in a fantasy wedding.
And yet…something seemed incomplete to them still.
