Everything had been planned perfectly. The flowers, the catering, the dresses and suits were organised. The invitations had gone out, with no mistakes, and all replies had been returned on time. Everything was perfect. Everything, except the one thing that nobody could control.
Rika stood in the doorway staring out at the beautifully arranged garden, which only yesterday, had been bathed in sunlight.
"It's still looks beautiful," a voice said as she felt warm arms enfold her from behind, "You still look beautiful"
Rika turned; ready to argue that point but before she could speak soft lips claimed her own in a tender yet passionate kiss. When they parted, Rika laid her head on Yoshi's chest, his heartbeat a familiar and comforting sound for her.
"Our guests are soaked through," she said after many moments of silence before raising a hand to her hair, "So are we." She sighed turning her face so that her next words were slightly muffled, "It was supposed to be perfect"
"It is" Yoshi said quietly
Rika looked up at the sincerity in his voice, "How can it be?"
"Because you are now my wife and nothing, not even the rain, could have stopped that from happening." He moved his hands up to cup her face, "Do you know what I'm looking at right now?"
"A drowned rat?" Rika joked unhappily, her eyes not looking at him
"No" he said softly, drawing her gaze back to him, "I'm looking at a beautiful perfect woman who makes her own sunshine wherever she goes and I feel honoured that she has bound herself to me forever."
"Yoshi" Rika whispered, tears in her eyes, "I love you so much" she said her arms sliding around his neck.
Yoshi smiled, "I love you too" he replied, lowering his face to rest his forehead on hers. Over in the marquee, which had been hastily constructed, the band began to play. Yoshi pulled back slightly and held out his hand.
"Dance with me?" he asked, moving backwards towards the patio
"In the rain?" she questioned laughingly, though she was already in his arms as they swayed to the music.
"What rain?" he asked before pulling her closer for a sweet kiss. /lj-cut
