"I'm not going to trip, I'm not going to trip" Kel thought as she walked down the aisle in between the rows of seats that had been set out.

At the end she could see Raoul waiting nervously with the Lioness's husband and Baron of Pirates swoop George Cooper, his best man, his hand resting on Raoul's arm.

Kel could see many people see knew including lots of men from third company who it had been given the afternoon off. Neal caught her eye and Yuki smiled both slightly misty eyed as if imagining what their own wedding might look like.

She reached the end and settled into where she had been shown to stand. When she was there music filled the hall as Buri and Alanna, who was giving her away, made their way down the aisle.

Buri looked stunning in a simple pearl coloured gown. Kel felt herself smile as she turned to look at Raoul. His vision was solely on the woman that walked towards him, her skirts making a light swishing sound that seemed to reach your ears over the music.

When they reached the end and the waiting men Alanna lifted up the vale that was covering Buri's face and kissed her on both cheeks before offering her hand to Raoul who took it gladly and gave it a squeeze which Buri returned.

The rest of the ceremony was pretty much a blur to Kel as she struggled with the emotions that where cursing through her. No-one would have blamed her if she had let some tears fall down her cheeks, even the Lioness had given in and was openly weeping at the sight before her.

When the priest finally pronounced them man and wife Kel joined in with the cheers as the couple wrapped their arms around each other and kissed, temporarily forgetting everyone else in the room.

They walked down back down the aisle hand in hand hardly able to keep their eyes off one another.

"Our turn now lass" said George handing his arm out for her which she accepted and together the followed the newly weds down, out the hall and into the dining room which had been done up for the occasion.

Buri and Raoul stood at the door waiting to greet everyone that was coming in. Kel tried to slip past them but a small hand reached out to grab her by the arm and steered her back in to position in between George and Buri.

"Don't even think about leaving" Buri hissed at her "Just stand nicely and try not to blush too much when they all try to kiss you" she said with a smile.

"They wouldn't dare" said Raoul craning his head round Buri to look at Kel "They've seen her fight and aw Buri what was that for?"

"Just because i can" said the small k'mir looking up at him smiling. Raoul shook his head but was unable to answer as the first of the crowd began to arrive and they where all soon shaking hands and exchanging pleasentaries.

Raoul was right about one thing. The men of the Own would only shake hands with her, which she was quite happy to respond with. The ones that only knew her by sight where too shy to attempt anything more and those that knew her well where too embarrassed.

Neal seemed to sweep in. Kissing her on both cheeks and commended her on her performance before moving on to Buri.

"Glad he saved the dramatics for you" George whispered in her ear as Kel shook her head.

"I think he's been at the wine again" said Yuki moving in to hug Kel and place a delicate kiss on each of her cheeks.

"If this is what he's like now can you imagine how he'd be when you get married?" Kel asked.

Yuki smiled

"I expect that he'd be the opposite and he'd be shaking out of nerves instead of excitement" she said moving on.

"Meatheads always been like that, you've just never noticed it before" said Dom smiling at her and she felt her heart miss a beat

"That i would have noticed"

"Are you sure?"

"Positive"

He smiled again before taking her hand and raising it to his lips, bowing.

"Lady Kel"

"Sergeant Domitan"

"Eh hem" sounded and both turned to the see the Lioness standing there arm in arm with her husband. He was smiling at them with amusement while she put her free hand on her hip, staring at them.

"My Lady" said Dom bowing to them "Baron"

"On your way sergeant" Alanna said crisply and Dom bowing once more moved on to offer his congratulations to the happy couple before making his way into the dining room and sitting himself with others in his squad.

"Darling what did you go and do that for? The Lady and himself where enjoying themselves" George said with a wink towards Kel who felt her cheeks grow hot. Alanna ignored him and faced Kel.

"Thats the second time today that I've caught the two of you with that look on your faces. Are you sure nothing is going on between the two of you?" she asked. Kel felt the blush move to more of her face.

"There is nothing going on" she said and when Alanna gave her a look "Really there is nothing going on"

"Not at the moment" said George and Kel's blush deepened.

"Ah i see" Alanna said smiling and Kel sighed.

"There's nothing to see because there's nothing going on and nothing ever will. Dom's not going to go after me when he can chase after pretty court ladies with big dowries" she told them before walking into the dining room.

They both watched as she settled herself at the main table in the room.

"Me thinks the Lady Knight has it bad for the sergeant" said George to his wife. As they too walked into the dining room and found their seats.

"Do you think we should give them a little push in each others direction because I'm pretty sure he feels the same" and George looked at her.

"And you worked that out how? Considering that you've met the lad twice?" he asked.

"I just know these things. Anyway what was your sight telling you?" Alanna asked looking at him.

George smiled

"What did you have in mind?"

This is my least favorite chapter so far – nothing seems to really happen in it but i promise that the next chapter should be a bit more up beat.

Anyway thanks to those ho pointed out my one big mistake in the last chapter. I swear that i checked the book when i was writing it, i can remember laying on the floor and reaching over for my copy of the book. If there are any more spelling problems let me know – i write my stories in Microsoft Works Word Processor but i have to copy and paste them onto a OpenOffice document because the site wont allow files from Microsoft. That mucks up some of the spelling cause i haven't figured out how to change the spell check to English (UK) from English (USA) – its no excuse i know but grrr just thought i'd moan about it.

A big thank you to all the people who reviewed and to the 30 of you who have me on your story alert lists :) I'm very happy with how this is all going at the moment however this is the last chapter i have pre-written and i wont get a chance to write the next one till at least the end of next week. I have two essays due in on Monday/Tuesday and i haven't even planned them yet plus another due the week later. You know i always do this, i say to myself that i'm going to do the essays weeks in advance and then i leave them to the last minute – it is ridiculously stupid i know but i just cant help it.

OK so enough rambling – someone offered to beta for me (i think) whoever it was that would be great unless i've completely got the wrong story. Also someone else said that Kel seemed to break from character a bit – i don't think so because if you look through the books she does get fairly emotional in certain bits but maybe thats just my way of looking at it, you cant expect her to go round being straight faced all the time.

Fine i'll stop!

Reviews make me squeal :)
