Chapter 1: Wedding Bells

"Monster?" Toya said sticking his head in through the door.

"Toya! Don't call me that!" Sakura said from where she stood in the center of the church dressing room.
Tomoyo was standing next to her fixing the dress that Sakura was wearing.

"You look absolutely adorable Sakura!" Tomoyo said hugging her best friend around the shoulders.

"Thank you, Tomoyo." Sakura responded.

"I think this is the best dress you've ever made her, Tomoyo!" Chiharu said twirling around in her own dress, similar to Tomoyo's.

"And our dresses are absolutely amazing as well!"

"I hope it's the best dress! It's my wedding dress! The day I have to look my best!" Sakura said smiling.

"Are you sure you want to go through with this, Sakura?" He asked sitting down on the couch that was supplied in the room.

"Toya, I love Shaoran, and he loves me." Sakura answered using the mirror to look at him as Tomoyo placed the flower wreath in her hair that would hold her veil. "Plus, if you have had doubts you should have said so earlier. Today of all days is not the day to bring them up."

"If you remember correctly, I have brought up my doubts on your marriage to Li several times." Toya answered.

"You also love your sister and want her to be happy in her choice of husband." Tomoyo said straightening her own dress and checking her hair.

Toya stood up and looked at his younger sister. To him, she looked the happiest she had ever been. She had a smile plastered across her face, ear to ear, her eyes sparkling with the laughter that was coming out of her mouth every few minutes. She and Tomoyo were making last minute adjustments to Sakura's wedding dress and Tomoyo's maid of honor dress.

"Is everyone here?" Sakura asked turning her head towards her brother as he walked towards the door.

"Almost. Just a few minutes I would guess." Toya said leaving the room.
Sakura and Tomoyo stared at the door for a few minutes.

"Why don't you sit down, Sakura? I'll make some tea. You must be getting nervous, with the ceremony so close." Tomoyo said moving towards the small table that was set up in the room.

"Not really. I'm happy, excited, to start my life with Shaoran. I'm getting giddy, I want to get started, it's something I've been waiting for, for, since the beginning. I know he feels the same as well." Sakura said sitting down gently in a wooden chair, smoothing her skirt out.

:---:

"Eriol, come on. It's straight!" Shaoran ground out between his teeth.

"Am I interrupting something?" Toya asked coming into the boy's dressing room, after visiting Sakura.

"My best man grating on my nerves." Shaoran said about his best friend.

"Shaoran, Tomoyo entrusted me with you, and Sakura as well. I am not about to get them angry at me." Eriol said as he walked over to shake Toya's hand. "It's good to see you again, Toya." Eriol said smiling.

"You too, Eriol." Touya responded. "Shaoran, how are you doing?"

"Fine. Why?" Shaoran said looking at Toya skeptically.

"Just wanting to know. I just saw Sakura. She's grinning from ear to ear she's so happy today."

Shaoran smiled slightly thinking of the girl he was going to marry today and her usual cheerfulness. "I'm just as happy, but Sakura always did show every expression on her face.

"You'll make her happy, right?" Toya asked looking at the young man standing a few feet away from him.

"I will try my hardest not to hurt Sakura. I don't want to hurt her; that would my deepest regret. I love Sakura with my entire heart, with my entire being."

Toya looked at him for a few moments, then nodded his head. "It's about time."

Shaoran nodded his head and followed his to-be brother-in-law out of the room and into the sanctuary. And then he waited.

:---:

Sakura stood in the hall next to her father watching as Tomoyo, Naoko, Rika, and Chiharu lined up to walk down the isle.

"Nervous, honey?" Fujitaka Kinomoto asked as he looked down at Sakura.

"No, more excited…a bit anxious, but not nervous." Sakura answered smiling up at her father.

"I'm happy for you. So is Toya, even though he may not show it. I'm happy that you were able to find the man that you want to spend the rest of your life with. You are extremely lucky to find that man so early in your life, to be so sure in your selection. Shaoran will be a wonderful husband to you, and father to your children."

Sakura's eyes started to tear-up as her father told her this, hardly noticing the music was starting and the doors were opening up.

"Now, don't cry." He said as he gently wiped her tears. "It'll be your turn soon."

"I love you, Otou-san." Sakura said as she turned to face the sanctuary as Naoko started down the isle first, followed by Chiharu, then Rika.

Tomoyo turned around just before it was her turn. "I love you, Sakura-chan. I know you'll both be happy." She smiled as she turned and started towards the front of the sanctuary.

Sakura and her father moved up closer to the doors; it was then she caught sight of Shaoran standing at the front of the church, her eyes catching his.

'He's so handsome, so kind, protective, loving. I'm so amazingly lucky to have him.' Sakura thought trying to send her thoughts to Shaoran through her eyes and smile.

It was weird; they had always had a special connection; being able to sense one another, or tell the others feelings without talking, or sometimes being nowhere near the other.

Shaoran smiled at her, tipping his head in a barely perceptual motion to anyone but Sakura, letting her know that he agreed.

:---:

Shaoran felt her eyes on him. Hers was the only glaze that would make him feel the shiver go down his back. When he looked up, he hardly recognized the beautiful girl smiling at him. He had thought Sakura couldn't get any more beautiful. Her cheerfulness and bubbly personality always had a way to light up the area surrounding her. But here she stood, practically glowing, her eyes shining in a way that he had never seen before, and a smile radiating across her face.

Her dress, truly Tomoyo's best design yet, was simple, elegant. Perfect for Sakura. It was pure white satin fabric; the bodice looked like a tank top, the straps being thin soft pink satin ribbon, the bodice was decorated with thin stripes of iridescent beading and pearls, with more pearls edging the top edge. Around her waist was a pleated pink satin belt, 'Kind of looks like our cummerbunds,' Shaoran thought with a little chuckle. 'Probably has a bow in the back as well, knowing Tomoyo.' The skirt was simple; it went to the floor with wide pleats going all the way around, forming a small train in the back. The veil she wore hardly hid her glowing, radiant face from him, ending at her collarbone in the front and ending in the middle of her back, held into her hair by a small wreath of Cherry Blossoms that matched her bouquet.

Before Shaoran knew it, the Wedding March had started and the beautiful woman, angel really, was walking towards him on the arm of her father.

When Fujitaka go close enough to Shaoran; he took Sakura's arm, lifted her veil kissing her gently on the cheek, and gave her hand to Shaoran.

For a moment, the couple just stood there smiling at each other, fingers entwined. Then slowly, Shaoran raised Sakura's hand to his now smirking lips and kissed her hand at the knuckles, making her giggle.

"I love you." She mouthed, moving to stand next to him as he wrapped her arm around his own as they faced the priest.

"And I love you." He mouthed back.

Meanwhile, as their family and friends smiled sweetly, 'awing' in their heads, sighing slightly at the love the two showed towards each other, one Maid of Honor was thinking, 'I'm so happy I set up multiple camera's to catch every moment. I can't wait to look over the coverage of the ceremony and relive Sakura and Shaoran's love for each other.'

The priest cleared his throat, starting the ceremony, "Dearly Beloved, we are gathered together here in the sign of God – and in the face of this company – to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony, which is commended to be honorable among all men; and therefore – is not by any – to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly – but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and solemnly. Into this holy estate these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together – let them speak now or forever hold their peace."

The church was silent.

Sakura smiled up at Shaoran, while he smiled down her. 'Do you think we have to worry about Mei-Ling?' Sakura joked.

'I hope not. She did break my head several times before I actually asked you out. Called me a dunderhead, stubborn, moron, and an idiot.' Shaoran answered back.

'I'm glad she did.'

'So am I.'

"Who gives this woman in marriage to this man?"

'Are we already at that part?' Both Sakura and Syaoran thought at the same time.

"Her father and brother do." Fujitaka stated. Shaoran looked over to where Toya stood behind Eriol. Toya smiled slightly and mouthed "She's in love. I can't deny my sister her happiness."

Shaoran smiled, nodding his head slightly as Fujitaka smiled. 'Suppose I can't call him Dad yet, hm?'

'You've been calling him Dad for years, or if you hadn't he would have let you.'

'It's freaky how you two do that. Pay attention to your own wedding ceremony, now.' A new voice entered both of their heads. Yukito, or well…Yue.

They smiled guiltily and paid attention to the priest.

"This relationship stands for love, loyalty, honesty and trust, but most of all for friendship. Before they knew love, they were friends, and it was from this seed of friendship that is their destiny. Do not think that you can direct the course of love – for love, if it finds you worthy, shall direct you. Marriage is an act of faith and a personal commitment as well as a moral and physical union between two people. Marriage has been described as the best and most important relationship that can exist between them. It is the construction of their love and trust into a single growing energy of spiritual life. It is amoral commitment that requires and deserves daily attention. Marriage should be a life long consecration of the ideal of loving kindness – backed with the will to make it last."

The priest turned to Eriol, "What token of your love do you offer? Would you place the ring(s) in my hand?"

Turning back to Sakura and Shaoran he said, "May these rings be blessed as the symbol of this affectionate unity. These two lives are now joined in one unbroken circle. Wherever they go – may they always return to one another. May these two find in each other the love for which all men and women year. May they grow in understanding and in compassion. May the home which they establish together be such a place that many will find there a friend. May these rings on their fingers symbolize the touch of the spirit of love in their hearts."

"Now, the both of you decided to make your own set of vows. Shaoran, why don't you say yours first. " The priest said looking to Shaoran and backing up a step.

"For the longest time I didn't know what I was going to say to you; then like lightening, it hit me one night. I was reminded of the first time I told you I loved you, and then the first time you told me that you loved me. When I told you I loved you, we were in Penguin park, I remember stuttering, then simply blurting it out. It was easy after that. My heart soared." Shaoran stopped for a moment, taking a moment to memorize Sakura's face in this moment. "I remember promising to myself that I would always love, protect, and cherish you, and every moment we have together. I promise you that today, in front of all of our friends, and family. I love you more today than I did all of those years ago, and my love for you will continue to grow. Please except this ring as a sign of my love, my affection, my protection." Shaoran finished slipping the simple gold band onto Sakura's ring finger where her engagement ring was already resting.

"Sakura, are you ready to say your own vows?" The Priest asked. When Sakura nodded her head he once again stepped back to let the couple have their moment.

Sakura smiled up at Shaoran through teary eyes. "No matter how many times you say that, I always cry. They are tears of happiness, and I can not express how overjoyed I am whenever I hear that those words come from your heart. We've fought many battles together, and through those battles, we have stood together, growing in our friendship, our love. You've always been there for me, and I hope that I can be there for you, to protect and love you, as you have been for me. To always love, cherish and protect you from whatever may come our way." She finished slipping Syaoran's matching gold band onto his ring finger.

"May you always share with each other the gifts of love – be one in heart and in mind – may you always create a home together that puts in your hearts – love – generosity and kindness. In as much as Shaoran and Sakura have consented together in marriage before this company of friends and family and have pledged their faith – and declared their unity by giving and receiving a ring – are now joined. You have pronounced yourselves husband and wife but remember to always be each other's best friend. What – therefore – God has joined together – let no man put asunder. You may now kiss the bride."

Shaoran smiled down at Sakura smiling back at him. He gently tipped her chin up a little bit touching his lips to hers as the church cheered behind him.

"Finally!" They heard Tomoyo and Eriol saying from each side of them, making them laugh as Shaoran picked her up and twirling Sakura around as he continued to kiss her.

"Now it's about time for another wedding." Sakura said as they turned to face the church, Tomoyo and Eriol right behind the newly married couple.

:---:

"They're so happy." Tomoyo said as she watched Sakura and Shaoran leave. She was standing on the top step next to Eriol, videotaping the couple's departure.

"Yes, they are. I'm happy for them." He said picking up Tomoyo's things from the top step for her. Kissing her on the top of her head, "And so am I; think this scene would ever be reversed?"

Tomoyo looked up at Eriol, slightly confused. "Eriol?"

Eriol chuckled, responding, "Not that I'm proposing right now, but, in the future…"

"Yes." Tomoyo said cutting Eriol off from the rest of his sentence. She walked down the steps, turning on the last one when she noticed he wasn't following her. "Eriol? Are you coming?"

"Yes, I was just surprised by the quick answer I guess." He said shaking his head.

"Why? True, we've never talked about getting married before, but…I guess I'd always assumed we would someday. It would just have to be the right time."

"You're right, as usual, Tomoyo." Eriol said smiling walking down the steps

As Tomoyo walked a few feet ahead of him, he started to wonder why they hadn't talked about marriage before. They had started to date during their second year of high school; not that they hadn't known before then that they liked each other; they had known that since junior high. So what took them so long?

"Tomoyo?" Eriol asked stopping under one of the trees that lined the sidewalk on the street side. The parking garage was still two blocks away.

"Hm, what is it?" She asked turning around.

"Why did we wait so long to start going out? Or to discuss marriage?"

Tomoyo tilted her head in thought. It was something she had thought of, but was never able to answer the question. "I don't have an answer, Eriol. I've thought of that before as well. I guess, even knowing what we did, that we liked each other, loved each other, the timing was never right. I still remember the night you asked me to be your girlfriend. That moment was perfect, I'll never forget it. I was so happy; I knew that I loved you. In that moment the guy I liked, turned into the guy I loved. I guess, it took us that long, so that in that moment we would know that it was right, that we loved each other, and no matter what, it would last." Tomoyo answered.

"I couldn't come up with anything. I must have been trying to put myself through hell by not being with you. By not telling you how much I already loved you."

"Eriol, the past doesn't matter. All that matters now is that we are together." Tomoyo said. As she turned away, dragging him off, she said, "Now, let's hurry to your apartment. I want to work with this footage."

"Yes, yes. Whatever you want, Tomoyo."

:---:

Shaoran stood on the balcony of their hotel room, looking out at the ocean. After the reception, he and Sakura had driven an hour to reach the ocean front hotel and resort that they had decided to stay at for the next week.

"Our honeymoon…" he said quietly as he stuffed his hands in his pockets. He still wore his tux pants, cummerbund, and shirt, which had the first several buttons undone and the sleeves rolled up.

"Sakura? Are you okay?" He asked stepping into the room.

"Yes, I'm fine." She said slowly opening the door.

She came out, and stood a few feet away from him. She wore a soft pink flowing nightgown that fell to her feet, green ribbons tied at her shoulders to make straps, gathering the bodice, and that also showed through the gathers.

"Tomoyo went a bit out of control when I said she could make my wedding dress, and possibly a couple other pieces." Sakura said quietly.

"You look beautiful. I don't think she went overboard at all. She always says 'special occasions need'…"

"Special clothes, yes, but an entire second suitcase? That she didn't tell me about until we were about to leave?"

Shaoran looked at Sakura raising an eyebrow. "That might be a bit overboard, especially when we're only gone for a week."

Sakura nodded her head, her eyes looking down at her hands, which were being tightly clasped in front of her.

Walking up to her, tilting her face up to look at him, Shaoran asked, "What are you nervous about?"

"Hoe, isn't it kind obvious? It is our wedding night. Our wedding night." Sakura answered, lowering her eyes.

Shaoran leaned down, kissing her forehead, "Come here, I want to show you something." Taking her hand, he led her towards the balcony.

Sakura gasped, stopping in the doorway. There, the ocean was sparkling under the dark navy skies filled with diamond-like stars. To her right, there was a small table with a bottle of Champaign and a tray of chocolate covered strawberries.

"I thought you might be hungry, you didn't eat much at the reception." Shaoran said pulling her towards him.

"Thank you. You've seem to think of everything." Sakura said tipping head up to kiss him.

"Are you going to tell me why you looked nervous earlier? The real reason, I know this being our wedding night, as you said, would not make you that nervous."

Sakura smiled slightly. "It doesn't matter. What were you looking at when you were standing out here earlier?" She asked while moving towards the banister.

"Here." Shaoran said handing her a strawberry, wrapping his arms around her. "Not much. The ocean, the moon, the stars."

"It's beautiful here."

"Mm-hm." Shaoran responded dropping his head on the top of Sakura's, quietly saying, "Only made more beautiful by standing here with you."

Sakura looked up at him, a puzzled look on her face.

"What is it?"

"You hardly ever say things like that. I guess I was just…surprised."

"I tell you you're beautiful all the time." Shaoran responded.

"Yes, but you aren't one to say mushy things. Like, 'only made more beautiful by standing here with you'."

"Hm. I see. Not much of a romantic am I?"

"That's not true. you just show it…differently. The way you look at me, the way you squeeze my hand, the way you protect me, the things that you have done for me…" Sakura said, her voice hitching towards the end.

"Shh, it's okay." Shaoran said turning Sakura in his arms and pulling her closer. "Those are just the ways I show you, I guess."

"I know, and those have always meant more to me than the words." She said smiling up at him through her quiet tears.

They stood there for a few minutes, holding each other, swaying to the music that drifted up from one of the outdoor patios that had a party being held on it.

"Hold on." Shaoran said after awhile. Sakura watched as he moved into their bedroom.

'Our bedroom.' Sakura thought, giggling.

"What was that for?" Shaoran said, his back to her, fiddling with something on the stand.

"Nothing." Sakura responded moving into the room. "What are you doing?"

"This." Shaoran said.

After a moment, a sweet melody reached Sakura's ears. "You brought this CD?"

"Of course I did. I take it everywhere with me." He answered holding his hand out to her. Sakura took his hand, starting to dance with him.

Spring is here
The sky is blue
(whoa-whoa-whoa)
Birds all sing
As if they knew
Today's the day
We'll say I do
And we'll never be lonely anymore
Because we're

Sakura moved closer to Shaoran, resting her head on his shoulder. "Do you remember the first time we danced?"

"To this song?" Shaoran asked.

"No, the very first time. It was during…"

"The festival." Shaoran finished.

"You do remember." Sakura said, smiling up at him.

"I remember every moment I spend with you." He answered. "I'll share a secret with you. While I was figuring out my feelings for you, I would see images of you just saying my name. Just my name and my heart would beat three times as fast and my entire face would turn red."

"What about now?" Sakura asked.

"Hm, not as much now, but you still have the capability of popping up in my head, making me stutter, to make me smile, whenever I see you."

Goin' to the chapel and we're
Gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel and we're
Gonna get married
Gee, I really love you and we're
Gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel of love

"So, now that you know what I was doing, are you going to tell me why you were giggling?" Shaoran asked smiling mischievously.

"Giggling? Hm…well, I thought of the room as 'our bedroom'. It was just funny think of the room as ours." Sakura said smiling.

"You'll probably laugh yourself into a conniption when we get back to…our apartment."

"I can't help that I find those things funny now." Sakura responded pouting. "It's just…being married, even to you, who I have known for over half of my life, is strange. It's such a new feeling."

"Li Sakura." Shaoran said.

Sakura giggled, "It's going to take me forever to actually start responding to that I think."

They were quiet for a moment, lost in their own thoughts; dancing slowly to the music.

Bells will ring
The sun will shine
(whoa-whoa-whoa)
I'll be his and
He'll be mine
We'll love until
The end of time
And we'll never be lonely anymore
Because we're

"Shaoran, do you ever feel…nervous, or apprehensive, I guess is a better word, about our marriage?" Sakura asked quietly after a couple of moments.

Shaoran thought for a moment before answering her. "Yes. I think that's normal though, we're starting our own path, a new life together. But, I also know that we made the right decision, and that everything will okay."

"I know everything will be okay, but what if I'm not a good wife? What if I can't do everything; work, cook, clean…"

"That's why I'm here. Sakura, you don't have to do everything, we'll share the responsibilities."

"You're right. I don't know what I was thinking…" Sakura's voice trailed off in the middle of her sentence.

Goin' to the chapel and we're
Gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel and we're
Gonna get married
Gee, I really love you and we're
Gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel of love

They stopped moving, Shaoran's hands went from around her waist to her shoulders. "Sakura? What's wrong? Here, sit down."

"I just thought of something, that's all. I'm okay now." Sakura responded sitting down on the bed, moving into Shaoran's embrace.

"What did you think of?" He asked.

"I was being silly, that's all." She responded looking up at him and smiling.

"What did you think? The look on your face…"

"Hoe, what if I'm not a good mother? What if I can't take care of my children?" Sakura said.

Shaoran smiled at her softly, bringing her up to sit on his lap. "That is the weirdest thing I've heard out of your mouth all night. Sakura, you're going to be a great mother when we have children…" He smirked slightly, thinking.

"What are you thinking?"

"Just imagining you with our kids jumping up and down around you, pulling at your apron strings, wanting to help you make dinner."

Sakura smiled, trying to imagine what Shaoran was, but a different image came to her mind. "Hm, yes. You'd come in from work and they'd all go screaming for 'daddy', jumping on you as you come into the house."

Shaoran smiled, "Hm, so…"

"So what?" Sakura said dubiously.

"Well…how many kids do you want?"

"Two or three?"

"Four or five?" Shaoran said falling back on the bed, bringing Sakura with him.

"Three or four?" Sakura negotiated with him.

"I still say four or five." Shaoran responded.

"We'll see…" She responded kissing him.
