Gotta be honest, I was just feeling wholesome and fluffy and threw this together because I wanted it to exist. Not sure this moment is ever coming up in RitS, mostly 'cause I think most of the characters here would be dead at this point (gasp! Is he trolling? We'll never know unless we keep reading RitS!)

Jokes aside, I hope you enjoy 3

"I wish that I could say that it was love at first sight-that our story was the perfect romance you deserve. But that would be a lie. The truth is-and you know this-that I couldn't stand you when I met you. I thought you were… it doesn't matter what I thought. I was wrong. And it didn't take you very long to make me see that.

"It didn't take you very long to make me your friend, to value and respect you more than I ever knew I was capable of. In fact, it didn't take you very long to get me to fall in love with you-it just took me a long time to realize I had.

"I love you, Ruby. Every day I get to spend with you is a gift. Every night I get to fall asleep with you is a gift. Every morning I get to wake up to you is a gift. I didn't understand this gift for so long-it's not something that any amount of money could ever buy, so how could I? And most days I feel like it's not a gift I deserve.

"And every day you do everything you can to make me feel otherwise. Because that's the kind of person you are. You have always seen the best in me-you've seen good things I never would have known were there. Even more, you create the best parts of me yourself. And you still have no idea you're doing it.

"I've never had to try for you, Ruby. You've always valued and cherished and loved me regardless of my many, many faults. Before I met you all I knew was the drive for perfection, and it's something I've never needed for your love. Not that I don't try. Every day. I will never ever stop trying to be perfect for you-the perfect teammate, the perfect friend, the perfect girlfriend… the perfect wife. Because you deserve that, and so much more. And the fact that you're letting me be a part of your life, wanting me to be a part of it, so that I can make sure you get all the happiness you deserve is so… humbling. So… amazing. So cool. *smile*

"I love you, Ruby. I could fill another thousand pages describing all the ways I love you and all the millions of reasons why, big and small. But I don't think I need to. I think you know. And honestly, you wouldn't be able to pay attention through it all anyway. You're probably already thinking about cookies.

"So I'll just shut up now, with one last 'I love you'."

Weiss finally pulled her gaze up from the paper clutched in her trembling hands. Ruby was standing in front of her, tears shining in her eyes, her lower lip trembling.

"Oh, Weiss," she whispered breathlessly.

When Ruby threw herself at Weiss and crashed their lips together, the first thought that went through Weiss' head wasn't a thought, just profound and familiar happiness because she was kissing Ruby. Then she stressed because the officiator hadn't said they may kiss yet. Then her heart clenched when she felt Ruby's cold tears rubbing off on her own cheeks.

She'd done something wrong. Ruby wasn't supposed to cry. This was supposed to be the happiest day of her life.

Breaking away from the kiss gently, Weiss looked into Ruby's eyes, worried at what she'd find. But Ruby just gave her the same beautiful smile that Weiss fell in love with so many years ago.

"Weiss… that was beautiful."

Weiss offered a hesitant smile in return. "Yeah?"

Ruby snorted, clearly not surprised that Weiss didn't have such a high opinion of her vows. Not breaking eye contact, she nodded towards the room and the rest of…

Right. There were other people there.

… And they were all crying.

Yang, Blake, Winter. Holy Grimm, Weiss had made Winter cry. Ruby's dad was so close to openly sobbing Weiss was afraid someone would need to get him a box of tissues-or a truckload of them. Qrow sat beside him, supportively patting the blubbering bundle of muscle on the back with a his own smile fixed in place, a single tear running down his face.

Her eyes were pulled back to her fiancee when Ruby cleared her throat in that adorable way she had-like she was getting all official and businessy to announce her new idea for a team maneuver inspired by a cookie flavor she'd found online.

"Weiss," she declared firmly before pressing her lips together and frowning doubtfully. "I-uh… I don't really have much to follow that up with." She let out a dry nervous chuckle. "So, uh… IloveyousomuchcanwepleasegetthisoverwithIwannabefuckingmarriedtoyoualready!" Ending the string of words with a bounce of her feet, she reached out and grabbed Weiss' hands and swung them side to side in excitement.

Weiss' jaw dropped, the corners of her lips twitching up, as Ruby threw out the expletive. The last time Ruby had sworn was the battle with Salem! She couldn't help the wide grin that spread across her face (not that she wanted to) as she was reminded that Ruby wanted to be married just as much as she did.

Together, they looked at the watery eyed Chief Belladonna (who Yang still insisted on calling Chief Daddy-Cat, and now Weiss couldn't get the ridiculous name out of her head) who was presiding over their wedding.

"What?" he rumbled as he noticed they were looking at him expectantly. "Oh, right. Yes." He waved his hand almost dismissively, as if he clearly thought his next words didn't even need to be said. "You may kiss the bride…brides?"

Ruby giggled sweetly and leaned into Weiss for another kiss, their first official one as wife and wife. Weiss was happy to oblige.

Somewhere to the right, Nora let out a happy squeal and starting clapping like a moron. Weiss joined Ruby in another giggle, but their lips stayed together.

They'd always stay together. They'd made the promise official today, but it had been made years ago, unspoken, the day they became partners.

That had been the luckiest day of Weiss' life, but this… this was definitely the best.

Happily Ever After
