3. Here Comes the Bride

They had agreed only to have a small, private wedding. The only people there were Sokka, Hakoda, Gran-Gran, Iroh, Toph, Suki and Aang.

Katara walked gracefully down the aisle, her dress made not to emphasize her pregnant figure. The top half of the dress was red with a silver blue crescent moon, the bottom half of the dress was blue like the ocean and it had a golden sun sewn onto it. The dress symbolized the tying of the nations as much as the wedding itself.

As she stopped to stand beside him, Zuko's heart was racing in his chest and tap dancing against his rib cage and he felt like he could melt. The priest's words were drowned out to him by that frantic beating, but he somehow knew exactly what to say and when to say it, until the last moment, when his heart seemed to beat in slow motion.

"Do you, Katara, of the Southern Water Tribe, take this man to be your husband, to love and to hold, through health and sickness, till death do you part?"

"I do."

The words came so sweetly from her lips that Zuko was sure she must be an angel.

"And do you, Fire Lord Zuko, of the Fire Nation, take this woman to be your wife, to love and to hold, through health and sickness, till death do you part?"

"I do." He had to refrain from shouting.

Katara smiled warmly at him, her ocean blue eyes rippling with tears of joy.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss."

Without hesitating, the two lovers launched themselves at each other. Their arms wrapped tightly around each other, Zuko knew that if he had been any shorter he wouldn't have been able to reach those soft, sweet lips with her belly between them.

He was sure his insides were melting as their lips raced.

The cheers and wolf whistles from the crowd were once again drowned out by the beating of his heart, and Zuko was sure he could hear hers too.


Do weddings make you cry? Let me know... R&R! XD!

Does anyone have a DeviantART account? I'd like to see what another persons impression of Katara's wedding dress is (or anything else in any of my stories)! If you post a pic, please send me the site link so I can put it on my profile page. Thank you! XD!
