I didn't think I'd do another TMNT story for a while, but I got a review asking for a story about Emma marrying Alex. It will be a two-shot. Here we go!
Emma's POV
It was my wedding day. And I was a complete wreck. I kept looking around anxiously, messing with my dress, and couldn't sit still.
"Emma, everything is okay. Now hold still while I do your makeup," April commanded. I smiled shakily before doing my best to listen to her. "There. Finished. You can look in the mirror now."
I got up and uncovered the large mirror, and stared at my reflection. My makeup made it look like I wasn't wearing any. My eyeshadow was a pale yellow, making my green eyes seem bigger and almost doe-like.
My lipgloss was a pale red, and April had done my hair in a fishtail braid tied up in a bun. My veil was short, but had little jewels sewn into it.
The dress was my favorite part. It was a pure white mermaid-style gown, the waistline being a little tight, but showed off my thin waist. All the scars on my arms had faded, so I wasn't ashamed to show off a little.
It had pearls sewn into the hemline, and to match it, i wore a silver chain necklace with a single pearl, with matching earrings. I couldn't see my shoes, but I had chosen to wear simple flats, afraid that I wore heels, I'd trip on the gown and be totally humiliated.
"You look beautiful. Are you ready?" April asked. I turned to look at her. Of course, she was my maid of honor, and Alex and I had chosen on yellow being the main color, so her dress was pure yellow, with a slightly darker yellow sadh.
The style was a short-sleeved, short hemmed, all-over lace dress. To match me, she wore pearl earrings but of a different style than mine, and she had chosen to wear white wedges, insisting that she wouldn't fall down.
I nodded eagerly at the question, ecstatic to finally marrying the man I loved. April handed me the bouquet of yellow roses. We went and April knocked on my bedroom door, alerting Casey (who was waiting outside) that we were ready.
The only way my brothers and my father could attend was if the ceremony took place at home. It wasn't ideal, but I didn't care as I just wanted to be surrounded my family and two best friends.
Alex's parents lived overseas, so even if they did know about my...strange family, they couldn't attend. But we promised to send pictures.
Splinter had to be certified online, but he wa going to be the one to 'marry' us. I couldn' wait to be Mrs. Emma Johnson. (I'm not creative with names!)
Alex's POV
Saying I was nervous was an understatement; I couldn't speak. Yes, I'd managed to change into my black tux, and yes, I'd managed to say I was ready, but I couldn't move. I was waiting at the far end of the living room, standing by Splinter, the officater.
The turtle brothers couldn't fit into tuxes, but they all wore black bow ties. It took hours before Casey agreed to wear his black tux with a yellow vest underneath to match April's dress.
He'd gone out, saying he needed to get something for the wedding. The man was my best man, mostly because I couldn't pick between my soon-to-be brothers-in-law.
I hadn't seen Emma's dress, as both she and April claimed it was bad luck to see the dress before the wedding. I was happy she'd said yes, happy we were getting married, but I wished we could fast forward to after the ceremony because I was afraid I'd mess up.
"It will be fine. When you see her, the words will come naturally," Splinter whispered to me. I smiled before mouthing 'thank you' to him. I'd come to be close with all of Emma's family, and Splinter had come to be like a second father to me.
A few minutes later, Casey came back into the lair, and raced past me to the upstairs area. I swear, if that man lost the rings…
"She's ready!" Casey yelled as he ran back down the stairs. I took a deep breath as i kept repeating the words 'I can do this, I can do this, I can do this' in my head.
April opened the door and let my beautiful, beautiful fiancé started walking down the stairs, April holding her train.
Splinter was right; I felt better the second our eyes met, locking onto each other.
AN: I will post the next chapter later today. Kitkat Out!
