Chapter 1: Wedding Vows
"Chrom, please take the ring and say your vows." Frederick explained. Chrom took the ring and lifted Robin's left hand. They were both nervous for this, they planned this wedding after the war ended and Chrom proposed. Robin was scared that she didn't know what would happen in the future. But it didn't matter now, it's their wedding so all the negativity and fear washed away.
"Robin," Chrom began his vows, looking into her eyes, "we were just strangers when we first met, I wouldn't expect my wife to be some woman I found asleep on a field." Some of the guest giggled. "Robin, besides being my wife and tactician through the war, you've always been there by my side, protecting me and everyone else. I give you this ring as not just a symbol of our marriage, but as our start to a new journey." Chrom exhaled, like he was out of breath, and slid the ring on Robin's finger.
"Robin, please take the ring and say your vows." Frederick then turned to Robin. Robin got a little shaking getting the ring. She held Chrom's left hand said her vows.
"Chrom, Exalt of Yilsse, even though you are a big dork," the guest also giggled, specifically Lissa, "you have been the greatest person I ever remember being with. Sure Lissa, Frederick and the others are great (in their own special way), but you've been the one that made me remember. Thank you Chrom, I give you this ring to represent our hardships to get here." Robin was more confident in her vows, sliding the ring on Chrom's finger.
Frederick smiled at both of them. He took a deep breath. "Do you Chrom take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? Will you love her, comfort her, honor her, protect her and provide for her; to have and to hold from this day forth, in sickness and in health, in prosperity and adversity; and, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her, as long as you both shall live?"
"I do."
"Do you Robin take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? Will you love him, comfort him, honor him, protect him and provide for him; to have and to hold from this day forth, in sickness and in health, in prosperity and adversity; and, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her, as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." Robin's tears started to break free.
"Well then, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Frederick stepped away to give the couple some space.
Both of them did not hesitate, Robin lept into Chrom's arms and they kissed as the crowd went wild with cheers. The guest were mostly the Shepherds and townspeople, seeing Chrom and Robin grow into beautiful adults has a been a journey. Lissa was bawling like a baby, holding onto her husband Lon'qu as she saw her brother pick up his bride and walked the aisle. Frederick wiped some small tears from the corner of his eyes.
Chrom and Robin were led to a carriage that would take them to the reception. "After you." Chrom said, placing Robin back on her feet. She bowed and giggled at him, one step at a time to enter the carriage, as Chrom followed suit. As the horses rode to the reception, Yilsse's streets were filled with townspeople cheering the lovely newlyweds. Robin laid her head on her husband's shoulder as she tried to close her eyes.
"Don't sleep yet. We still have a party." Chrom shook Robin until her eyes were open again. She giggled and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"I still can't believe that we're married. It still amazes me on how you were able to convince me to marry you." Chrom chuckled at Robin's statement.
The horses came to a stop, Chrom and Robin exited the carriage and came to the reception.
