~Epilogue~
The day was bright and all the people of the Ouran Lands seemed to huddle together at the front of the chapel doors waiting, flowers in hand. Inside the chapel, famlies from the neighboring lands gathered, each seated in the rows of seats. The chapel was decorated especially for this occation. Ribbons in a mix of patterns, the sunlight streaming through the stained glass, shining the chapel with its brilliant light. At the front on the alter was the current King and Queen of the Ouran Lands, accompanied by the Reverend and the twins.
"Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to commemorate and rejoice in the union of these brothers in holy matrimony. Now can we bring forth the rings." A little girl came with the rings on a small pillow. She was dressed in a beautiful white sundress and lilies adorned on her braided hair. Hikaru and Kaoru both took a ring. "Hikaru would you please recite your vows."
Hikaru looked at his bride-to-be. Kaoru was dressed in a white dress, imprinted with lily patterns on it. His veil was hand woven and so delicate that it seemed to be transparent. His bouquet was made of lilies surounded by different colorful flowers. Kaoru looked at his husband-to-be. Hikaru had a white military uniform that was similar to the one their army wear. A sword on his left side and a dashing white hat on his head, matching the uniform.
"I, Hikaru Hitachiin, future King of the Ouran Lands, take this man to be my lawfully wedded wife. To love and cherish throughout my whole mortal life and to keep loving in the afterlife. To be faithful through sickness and health as long as we both shall live and after that." He then put the ring on Kaoru's ring finger on his left hand.
"I, Kaoru Hitachiin, future Queen of the Ouran Lands, take this man to be my lawfully wedded husband. To love and cherish throughout my whole mortal life and to keep loving in the afterlife. To Eternity...To be faithful through sickness and health as long as we both shall live and after that." He then put the ring on Hikaru's ring finger on his left hand.
"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife, and the new King and Queen of this land." Looking at Hikaru he said, "You may now kiss the bride."
Hikaru kissed his Kaoru, sealing their faith and their new lives together. They both went down the isle and out the chapel door, where they were greeted with flowers flying in the air and cheers along with them. From then on, the Ouran Lands prospered and the new rulers of the Kingdom lived together in the same castle and in the same room. Their happiness increasing as time passed and Hikaru finding his beloved everyday in the family chamber, humming a wordless melody as he would knit clothes that would fit neither him or his wife.
