WEDDING PAIR

The morning would see the 2 partner groups married.

Ren, Jaune and Cardin hauled Ruby and Blake off. Up-keeping the tradition of seperating the couple the night before the wedding. The party was absconded to the quad's married rooms of the campus courtesy of Ozpin. Ruby spent 4 solid hours tweaking last minute wedding plans. Ruby had put in a request to use the main hall for the wedding and the dining hall for the reception back when she submitted their licence applications. The rest of the night was spent swapping stories -many not heard before, from Cardin as he was the new guy here. By the end of the night, Blake had accepted the new Cardin at least as a hunter, if not a new friend.

Ozpin walked in smiling, looking around, "So, friends, if I may," holding his hand out "Ruby, Blake come." Walking away from Ren, Jaune and Cardin, a bit, "rarely do I get to do this-marry 4 of the most capable people in the world. I wish to thank you."

"Professor, the privilege is ours." Ruby said.

"Thank you, Professor."

"Not any more, you have graduated ...and tomorrow married." Ozpin explained.

Nora, Pyhrra and Velvet took Weiss and Yang to another dorm room. Once in the room, Weiss spent almost as long as Ruby arranging the final catering.

In the dorms, Glynda was speaking to Weiss and Yang, "Are you ready for tomorrow girls, it is a important time in your life, you will be asked to commit to each other you know?"

"Professor Goodwich, we are ready."

"Wait I'm not your professor anymore, call me Glynda. You have earned it."

"Yes proff...Glynda, we are. We have discussed the in and outs for 2 month now," Weiss said.

Yang smiling said if she had had her way she would have married Blake 2 years ago,"but I agreed to wait on the great white one here."

Weiss glared at Yang, "Easy there, sis, you know I love you," hugging Weiss softer than she had anyone, "Tomorrow, sis."

Weiss looking up, "Yes, my sis, for real."

Early morning brought a change of crew: Nora and Velvet replaced Cardin ,Ren and Jaune. Before they left, Cardin handed each Ruby and Blake a small box to be opened just before going to the altar.

Coco and Pyhrra came to take care of Weiss and Yang.

The day came and they awoke, long showers were taken, and preparations begun. Hair & nails done and wedding attire donned.

Blake's hair twisted into a bun at the nape of her neck. Blake chose to wear black swallow-tailed suit, tightly-tailored, a deep purple, pleated shirt, black vest, yellow cummerbund and yellow tie, matching her bride-to-be colors.

Yang wore a high-low hem strapless dress-white a the top-dyed to yellow at the hem, with yellow finger-less gloves, black shorts to match her bride-to-be colors.

Her veil was a soft cream yellow. Her hair straightened was held by 2 black ribbons, the frist at the base of her neck, the second at her waist.

Velvet left the same boxes for Yang and Weiss.

Ruby and Weiss both decided to wear dresses: Weiss dress was an off-the-shoulder mermaid-styled dress. Pure white blending to a powder blue tail. At her waist, a quintuple strand of red pearls, in the center a rose made of rubies. Her veil was a white-rose lace with a red trim matching her bride-to-be colors.

Ruby wore a white strapless ballgown that shaded to red at the base. The belted waist was a blue ribbon, in the center of the belt, was a diamond Schnee snowflake. Her veil a white snowflake lace, trimmed in pale blue.

Ozpin was in the Main Hall, at the end of the room, waiting on the celebrants.

Just before Blake and Ruby were escorted to the front, Cardin spoke up, "Open your boxes. I know you wanted to bring your weapons, but ... it is a wedding." Cardin was dressed in his usual gear "...Team CRDL and CFVY will stand guard for you." As the girls open their boxes, they found miniature pins of their weapons: Ruby's Crescent Rose and Blake's Gambol Shroud.

Ruby push forward and for the first time in 4 years, gave him a hug "Cardin...thank you, thank you, thank you."

Blake added her thanks as well. Cardin then pinned them on: Blake's to her right collar and Ruby's to her belt. Cardin saluted and then took his leave. As they prepared to go, Ruby spoke, "That was really thoughtful."

Lie Ren and Jaune Arc then escorted Ruby and Blake to Ozpin at the front. Smiles plastered to their faces.

At the back, Weiss and Yang waited in a side room. Velvet, Nora and Pyhrra were with them. Velvet smiling reminded them of their boxes, "You can open them now, as much as you would like to have your weapons, it is a wedding...your wedding, so these are for you." Inside, as the girls open their boxes, they found miniature pins of their weapons: Yang's Ember Celica and Weiss's Myrtenaster. Both were smiling their heads off, they both gave Velvet a tight hug, "This just so perfect " said Weiss.

And Yang commented, "well, that is a thing." Yang's Ember pin was placed at her center chest and Weiss's Myrtenaster pin was placed on her left shoulder.

Velvet excused herself as Teams CFVY and CDRL were standing guard for the wedding.

Nora and Pyhrra stepped forward and with the music playing, escorted the 2 brides to the altar. Once there, they formed up with their teammates as the witnesses for Team RWBY. Jaune, Ren, Pyhrra and Nora took up the duties of best men and maids of honor, Jaune and Pyhrra for the bumblebee couple and Ren and Nora for the white rose couple.

Ozpin, always a hunter of few words, began, "All in attendance be it known, before us are supplicants wishing to be joined in marriage. I have knowledge that this is their wish, and will endeavor to seal their pact with each other. I am doubly blessed to do this, not with one, but two couples. Both strong in aura, semblance and free of mental disorders. They come before us, so we may witness that they are resolute in their desires. Who supports this woman, Ruby, in marriage?"

" I, her Uncle Qrow do," then he stepped back.

"Who supports this woman, Weiss, in marriage?"

Weiss expecting Pyhrra to answer was greatly surprised as a voice akin to the frost of the north answered "I, her sister Winter, do."

"Who supports this woman, Blake, in marriage?"

Pyhrra answers, "I, Pyhrra of Mistral, do."

"Who supports this woman, Yang, in marriage?"

" I, her father Taiyang, do," then he too, steps back.

"Is there anyone amongst you that for any legitimate reason know these joinings should not take place? Nothing, No one? Good. Each of the brides would like to speak. Ruby..."

"Weiss, there has never been a time since we meet, that you have left my mind or my heart in 4 years. It has strengthen to where you are my life, my world, my universe, you and only you."

Weiss' smile was as bright as the noonday sun, "Ruby, before you, my world was walls of stone and ice, then I met you with a blast and a smile. You took them down, shattered the stone, and melted the ice. So, 4 years and you are all the world I need. " Ruby eyes teared up.

"Blake."

"Yang, I have had no reason to trust what was told to me. No friends, no family. Fear and hate fueled me. Then, came you, your smile, your fire, your heart...and you gave your heart to me. And with it, your trust. You are friend & family. My world & my love."

"Yang."

The first thing through her mind was ditto, "Blake, my world was fast and quick. I never held anyone long enough to see them grow. You put an end to that and who did the growing? Not the person I held, but myself. 4 years and I still will hold on to you, my love."

Ozpin smile all knowing, "Do you, Ruby Rose, take Weiss Schnee as your partner in life and all that with it, from now till the end of Remnant?"

A simple "yes," is all Ruby said.

"Do you, Weiss Schnee, take Ruby Rose as your partner in life and all that come with it, from now till the end of Remnant?"

"I do," says Weiss.

Turning Ozpin repeats the words, "Do you, Blake Belladonna, take Yang Xiao Long as your partner in life, and all that come with it, from now till the end of Remnant?"

"I will," Blake says.

"Do you, Yang Xiao Long, take Blake Belladonna as your partner in life, and all that come with it, from now till the end of Remnant?"

"I most definitely do!" says Yang.

Ozpin smiling, "The rings please..." Our attendants each hand us our rings. We had decided that for the wedding each of would the other a silver band and a second ring of our partners color. We exchange wedding rings. Ozpin again speaks "With vows spoken and rings given there is but one more thing. All pay attention today, these couples are joined in marriage, what is set let no man or woman sunder, by the power invested in me by the Kingdom of Vale and the Academy of Beacon."

The Hunter standing fully addresses all in attendance, "May I present to you: The Huntresses Rose, Mrs. Weiss Schnee Rose, Mrs. Blake Belladonna Rose and Mrs. Yang Xiao Long Rose. The 4 Roses."

The quiet was greater then the previous day the room roared the volume levels exceeded that of a bullhead at full throttle once again they broke the crowd and still heard in the back "PAY UP!"

As they entered the hall, everyone stands and the applause rises, words of congratulations start to follow the 2 couples as the make their way to the brides table. Taking up the call, Weiss and Ruby, gave each other a simple kiss on the cheek. Blake and Yang lay a full lip-lock with smoldering eye contact

The musician began to play a soft classic piece for the brides' dance. Both couples get up to dance. Yang, looking over, "Rubes, now the time to show those moves."

Ruby answering back, "Yang, now I am a fancy-pantsy-shmancy-dancey-kinda girl."

Taking Weiss by the hand, even in her lady stilts, she begins a gentle reel, moving her with grace and charm. Weiss's face momentarily shocked, "Ruby ?"

"Lessons, Weiss, lessons," The pixie smiled and put her full efforts in her dance. Blake brought her partner about, using her cat-like graces making the brawler look good.

At the second dance, the teammates switch partners, Weiss all but disappearing, enveloped by Yang, Blake taking Ruby and tripping the light fantastic. The tinkling of crystal forcing the two couples to find each other, each planting a kiss on each other.

Then began each relative dancing with the brides: Qrow, Tiayang, Winter, Pyhrra each danced with the brides one at a time. Soon, others kept the brides on their feet.

The band took their break and a smaller more rock band began to play, The Beowolves. playing more youth-style music ,even Neptune could dance too.

Soon, the tinkling of crystal forcing the two couples to find each other ...giving up a kiss.

At the reception, on the central table, was laid with 4 massive bouquets of roses with a small black box at the center. The rose bouquets, one for each bride. They were: Ruby Roses, Edelweiss Roses, Bella Donna Roses, and Heart of Fire Roses. A rose type that matched each of their names, Ruby's idea. The small box, barely 6 inches long, 3 inches wide and 2 inches deep. A black ebony wood with a buffed a small silver cross embedded on the top.

Everyone looked over the display, admiring the different roses. Comments, most complementary, in awe that there were roses that matched each of the brides.

Walking around the table, the brides took in the sight of wonder-the abundance of flowers. There were 4 chairs, over each was a cloak, in the girl's colors.

Blake looked closer over the display, taking in the wonders. After a moment, she had a smirk of knowledge. Going over to Yang, whispering in her ear, telling her what she discovered. What was in the black box?

Yang looked and snickered, her face becoming redder and redder. The look on her face priceless, " Ruby...you die... 4 roses and a Funeral."

Weiss's look of shock, followed by a face-palm, "Ruby, Ruby, Ruby."

Blake, head down, seem to just fade away, knowing Ruby will die another day.

They all turned facing Ruby, Blake and Yang mouthed, "After the honeymoon."

Weiss just patted Ruby's hand, "It will be alright," she said.

..after the tinkling of crystal forcing the two couples to find each other...giving up another kiss.

As the evening wore on, Jaune was telling stories and reminiscing of the live and times of RWBY. How he first he saw Ruby and Yang.

Jaune told how he picked Ruby up off the ground, and his first encounter with the Snow Angel and the singing-dance invite. Remarking, it would never have worked out. The last line was a line filled with humor, friends now, friends forever.

As time goes on, the hall slowly empties...many of the guests had delayed their departure from Beacon to attend the wedding. Students and staff had put pressure on the housing, as many room had to be rebooked

as each person left, they received a rose for the memory and for luck.

The girls sat back, surrounded by their closet friends, the Teams JNPR, CFVY, and now CDRL. Amongst the survivors: Qrow, Tiayang, Winter, Glynda, Ozpin and Peter.

Once again, there was a clinking of crystal was heard, the girls looking around trying to see who was making the noise.

No one was moving. Glynda had a most iconic smile, it was then they saw her crop barely moving. Ruby, pointing at Glynda, shaking her head, "Glynda, have you been doing that all evening?"

"Who, moi?"

All 4 of the brides said, "YES, you!"

Raising her hands in defeat, "Perhaps, I have a few times."

Looking over at Qrow while holding her had out, "Pay Up."

Ozpin looked at Glynda, "Well, was I right? Did it not work out?"

Glynda sighing, "Yes." "Are they not the best? Can I pick em? Were you not wrong?"

"Yes, Professor Ozpin, I was wrong. Your point?" Holding out his hand, "Pay Up."

FINAL THOUGHT

"I boarded the train and took my seat The seat next to me was empty, but not for long. A young mother boarded with her 5-year-old daughter

and Mom sat down in the seat beside me. I offered my seat to the little girl but Mom said no, she'd sat the young one on her here I am holding my roses, now with a little lady straining to see what I was holding.

"What ya got, ma'am?" she asked.

(Mom is getting a bit flustered and tells her to mind her business.) I leaned the "package" over a bit and she looks and says loudly, "Ohhhh, ROSES! Who are they for?" (Now Mom is embarrassed and tapping her on the rear telling her to sit down.)

I said, "They're for my girlfriend."She says again with a loud voice, "WOW, pretty RED ones, and a lot of them, too!

Man, you really must have fucked up!"

Needless to say, nearly everyone on the train was in stitches except Mom who was now trying to crawl between the seats !

Giggles and laugh fill the small corner as the remaining partiers left.

Blake and Yang stand up, walking to Ruby, "Now, Ruby," Yang said smiling evil grin. Ruby feels a cold chill through her spine, "We did say we'd get you."

Looking over her shoulder, Blake added, "No witnesses."

Ruby tries to stand, but failing, figuring out that her feet have been frozen to the floor, she cries out, "Et Tu, Weiss."
