Chapter One: Dearly Beloved

He promised he'll be here, Kairi told herself as she stared up at her adoptive father.

He never breaks his promises Kairi, Relax, Kairi reassured herself. Her fingertips caressing the petals of the bouquet she supported. She scanned the little vacant area on the island that they held for their wedding. It wasn't anything fancy, Kairi just wanted to be married and have things simple. After all, they've waited long enough to be together, why wait to get married?

She didn't need a big wedding if she had Sora and all her family and friends that were there, sitting in the white fold out chairs behind her. Tidus, Selphie, Wakka, Riku's parents, and Sora's Mom. The only ones missing were Riku, the best man and Sora, the Groom...

"Humph, just as I assumed..." Kairi's father scoffed. "The dirt bag forgot his own wedding."

"He is NOT a dirt bag, daddy...he's the most selfless and responsible person I know! He promises me he'll be here, so he will be here! Have some faith in your son-in-law!" Kairi cried, grasping her bouquet tighter.

Kairi's father raised a brow at his adoptive daughter. He never knew what she saw in that spazzy boy with the messy hair. Even when Sora came back from his journey's he still could not create a strong bond with Kairi's father. He always remembered his manners, to take off his gloves, brush his hair, shower, and even take off his shoes before he stepped foot in Kairi's home!

"He's not my son-in-law yet, and he never will be if he doesn't show up in the next five minutes! I am the mayor of this town, I'm very busy! You know that, Kairi."

Kairi ignored her fathers rude comment and turned her gaze out to the sea. Of course she knew how busy her father was, but there wasn't a soul she wanted to pastor her wedding than her father. Biologically, he wasn't her real father but he's raised her to be the girl she was and she just wanted him to love and see how much Sora made her happy.

The sky blue color was just starting to diverge into a faded orange. The late afternoon sun was becoming more distant by the hour, yet it's rays of light were strong as they shined upon the island. The ocean water sparkled and the sand seemed to glow under the sun's vibrant light. The tide was starting to settle and flow at a tame rhythm.

"I wonder where those two could be!?" Tidus whispered over to Wakka who only shrugged, tossing a blitz ball back and forth in his hands.

"OH! He better be here soon! I've been waiting FOREVER for Sora and Kairi to get married!" Selphie exclaimed, followed by a dreamy sigh. "Those two were made for each other! I knew that Sora was in love with Kairi since the day he met her!"

The spunk girl giggled and folded her hands together, admiring the view of one of her closest friends in a wedding gown. The two males sitting besides her silently nodded in agreement.

"He's probably just running a bit late...Sora's like that, Ya?" Wakka added.

"Yes, exactly! He's probably just really nervous and Riku's trying to calm him down!" Selphie replied.

"Hah! More like knock some sense into him!" Tidus scoffed, earning two glares from his friends. He simply shrugged. "What!?"

Sora's mom blew her nose into her handkerchief for the hundredth time in the past hour.

"Oh! My baby has grown so much! He is a hero!" She gushed over to Riku's mother, who nodded.

"Personally, I thought my Riku would end up with Kairi...but hey! With my son's good looks he can get any girl he wants!"

"But my sons got the best! I'm still angry with him for running off on me like that on the night of the stor-hey! What's that!?" Sora's mom interrupted herself as she noticed a back dot in the sky that was making their way towards them. Everyone watched as the mysterious figure got closer as it descended and flew over the ocean reviling a multi colored ship crafted out of gummi blocks.

"SORA! RIKU!" Kairi cried, as the ship drew closer.

Kairi has never seen a gummi ship before, but the ship before her seemed to fit with all the details Sora's gave her.

Everyone covered their ears as the ships engine roared loudly, flying full speed into the sand that blew in every direction. The gummi ship landed safely and right in front of the trellis that Kairi and her father stood under.

"What is that?" Kairi's father grumbled, glaring at the ship that's caused a complete ruckus.

"WHOA! Awesome ride!" Tidus cried out.

Kairi could only smile as her beloved emerged from the ships portal, dressed in his typical battle attire.

The first thing that caught Sora's eyes was not his wedding guests, nor the ostentatious floral arrangements, or that ridiculous heart-shaped trellis...but who was standing under it.

There she was waiting for him. She could have easily been mistaken for an angel. Her crimson tresses were braided around her head elegantly, as if to resemble a crown. She wore a strapless taffeta gown, with beaded appliques at her busts and hips along with a chapel train that encircled around her feet like a blanket.

"Well, go on...we're late enough as it is!" Riku whispered behind him as he gave his friend a gentle push.

Sora nodded, he couldn't take his eyes off her as he slowly walked over to her. His slow stride turned into a sprint until he was standing in front of her huffing and puffing. "Hey...sorry I'm late...and under dressed..." He whispered with a chuckle, scratching the back of his head awkwardly. Her presence was so radiant, it always caused his heart to pound.

Kairi giggled ans tossed the bouquet over to Riku. Taking Sora's gloved hands in hers, she looked into his eyes, they were full of admiration...desire..and love.

"You're perfect..." She responded in a whisper.

"No, you're perfect." Sora's expression was serious now.

He wanted nothing more but to kiss her and hold her.

"Sora, how nice of you to join us." Kairi's father sneered. "I suppose we should just skip over to the vows now?"

Sora snapped his gaze over to her father and gulped nervously. "Uhh...yeah...I suppose so...we kinda kept our guests waiting long enough..."

"WWWWWWAAAAAAIIIITTTT!" A voice cried out.

Everyone looked to see an over sized duck hop out from the ship.

Sora laughed. "How nice of you to join us, Donald!"

"Wait for me!" A large dog hurried after Donald, and stopped to stand right next to Riku.

Kairi giggled. "Hi, Goofy!"

"Gawrsh, Sora...ya didn't think Donald and I'd miss your wedding now did ya?"

Sora smiled. "Of course not..." He turned to face Kairi, cupping her face in his hands and touching his four head against hers.

"I have no idea how or why you washed up on the islands that day...but I'm glad it happened. Being apart from you made me realize that there is no world in this entire universe that I'd want to live in but yours, in your heart...that I will cradle and protect with my own for as long as we shall live...there is nothing more precious to me than you, Kairi...and I want to spend the rest of my life proving it to you."

Hot tears stung at Kairi's eyes and her cheeks throbbed from smiling.

Sora leaned closer. "I love you, Kairi..." He whispered, before closing the gap between their mouths.

Their nose brushed against another as their lips blended along with their hearts, as they shared their first kiss as a married couple.

A/N: YEEEAAAHHH! SORA AND KAIRI ARE MARRIED! :D Alright, so I know that this wedding wasn't your typical "Here comes the bride" walking down the isle and music playing, but I found this to be more fitting for them. You're all probably wondering where's Sora? And What happens next? Will there be a reception?

The answers to that will be reviled in the next chapter! :P

Stay tuned and review until then! And I PROMISE in a couple of chapters, things are going to get intense! :D

Always,
