The day had finally arrived; the wedding of Mario and Peach. Everything that happened in the Mushroom Kingdom had led to this important moment; the moment when true love prevailed over all obstacles thrown at the couple and the day where the Mushroom Kingdom's favorite couple say "I do".
Mario woke up in the morning with a happy smile; this was going to be the best day of his life. All he could think about was Peach; her golden hair, sapphire eyes, and her kind smile that could charm a thousand men. Most of all, as Mario groomed himself for his big day, he could think about all of moments they had together; the adventures, the dates, and the daring way they rescued each other. Mario was confident; he was going to spend the rest of his life with the apple of his eye whose name was Princess Peach Toadstool, and he will be happy with her.
"Alright, lucky bro! Breakfast is ready!" His brother, Luigi called. Excited, Mario, still in pajamas, walked into the dining room of his house and sat on the chair to find a medium sized bowl of fettuccini alfredo on each opposite side of the table.
"Aw Luigi, you didn't have to make breakfast for me." Mario said with a smile as Luigi turned to Mario while grabbing spices.
"That's nonsense, big bro. I'm the best man and your brother, so it's my job to make sure your wedding is the best day of your life. And I seem to be successful so far." Luigi mused as he put the garlic powder, salt, and pepper on the table.
"You definitely have. Thank you, Weegee. You're literally the best brother I could ever ask for." Mario thanked his brother as Luigi smiled.
"No problem, bro." Luigi replied as Mario started on his breakfast.
Back with Peach, she along with her cousin Daisy and friend Rosalina had been up all morning getting all their hair, nails and makeup ready for the wedding. In honor of this occasion, the girls all made an appointment at a five star spa, including hair and nails.
"So Peach, how does it feel to be a bride; to the right guy this time?" Daisy mused as Peach chuckled.
"Well, actually mixed. I'm very happy that I'm marrying Mario, but I'm also nervous. What if Bowser kidnaps me again, or something worse happens? I'm a bit worried." Peach confessed.
"You know," Rosalina interjected. "Daisy and I took extra precautions to make sure Bowser doesn't try anything. And even if he does, you've got a groom and friends that will be there to help out."
"Rosie's right. We're your friends, Peach. We're not going to let Bowser hurt you without a fight. Also, there's always your cool powers, too."
Peach smiled at her friends; they really were true friends.
"Thanks guys. I'm lucky to have such amazing friends in my life."
"But you're even more lucky to have a man like Mario. In any century I've been to your world, I've seen very few men that go completely out of their way for the women they love." Rosalina added, with both Peach and Daisy nodding in agreement.
"All things considered, a very happy day lies ahead. So, let's chillax while there's time." Daisy commented as all three closed their eyes to enjoy their spa day.
Four hours later, the wedding is ready to commence. Peach and her bridesmaids are ready, as are Mario and his groomsmen. The wedding is in the ballroom of Peach's castle, garnished with white ribbons and red and pink flowers all over the room. Above the altar was an arch decorated with red and pink roses, as well as with white ribbons, and flowing in front of it is a white carpet leading to the exit.
Mario had already taken his place at the altar, wearing a white suit with white shoes, and a white top hat with an 'M' on it. Luigi, Yoshi, and Toby are all wearing red tuxedos in honor of Mario's main color, standing next to Mario in that order. Next to Mario, who is standing on the right side of the altar, is Toadsworth, who is the minister, wearing a black tuxedo with a purple shirt.
Mario thought it was strange that he was starting to get tired, but he figured it's because he got up this morning. Just then, the music started, and the bridesmaids, Daisy and Rosalina, walked down the aisle, each holding a bouquet of fire flowers, and standing on the left side of the altar from Toadsworth, in that order.
Daisy, seeing Luigi right next to Mario, winked at Luigi to flirt, and Luigi winked back, causing Daisy to raise an eyebrow; since when does Luigi flirt back? He always acted shy when she would flirt with him, now he's out of character. Thinking maybe Luigi is gaining confidence, Daisy shrugged her shoulders and looked at the entrance.
Not long after that moment, the wedding march started to play, and out of the entrance came Peach, with a beautiful flowing white gown that is sleeveless, a white choker that was right above her blue pendant, and her dress had gray sashes and gray ruffles all the way to the bottom. Her blonde hair was in a ponytail, and she wore a grey tiara with a red jewel and a heart shaped design, followed by a two layered veil. Like the bridesmaids, her bouquet was that of fire flowers. She walked down the aisle, ever so gracefully.
The moment Mario saw the beauty of his bride, he started to feel dizzy; he didn't know why he feeling so strange, but still assuming that he was just nervous about the wedding, he ignored it.
After Peach had finished walking down the aisle, Toadsworth started the speech about the sanctity of marriage, and as he was getting ready to start the vows, Mario's dizziness was getting worse to the point where everything he saw was spinning all around him, and he was also breaking out in cold sweats. He tried to fight it, but the dizziness continued messing with his vision.
"Master Mario, it's time for your vows; is everything alright?" Toadsworth asked, noticing Mario spacing out.
"Y-yeah, I'm fine." Mario lied as he tried his best to remember his vows and took the bride's ring from the ring bearer.
"I, Mario Toni Jumpman, do take you...Princess Peach...Toadstool, to be my...lawfully..wedded.."
"Mario, are you sure you're ok? You look sick." Peach asked, noticing Mario's intense cold sweats and his words slurring.
"Yeah, I'm...fineā¦"
At that, Mario fainted to the floor, with everyone in the room gasping in shock.
"Mario!" Peach gasped as the groomsmen and bridesmaids circled around him to see how to help him.
"Back up, everyone! Give Mario some room to breathe!" Luigi shouted as everyone backed away from the unconscious Mario.
"Luigi, how is he?" Peach asked in concern.
"I think he fainted from a severe case of wedding jitters. We should probably let him rest for a bit for we continue the ceremony. With that being said, I could use help getting him to a bedroom so he can rest." Luigi proposed.
"I'll help." Peach offered as she wrapped one of Mario's arms and Luigi did the same with the other arm. They managed to carry Mario up the aisle and out the door taking him to a guest bedroom.
