A/N Warning! Love scene, not for young readers

The ceremony was simple and sweet; the setting sup put an orange glow on the land. Robin and Marian stood in front of the king with the gang gathered close. The soldiers that knew Robin, and there were a lot, watched with envy. This man would have the love of his life in his arms tonight and would soon leave for home.

Facing each other with their hands intertwined Marian said "I wish my father could see this."

"He can," Robin assured her, "He's looking down on us right now." She smiled and the king began.

"I have known Robin for some years now. He is a skilled fighter and a great solider. But more than that he is loyal, a strong leader, and a great friend. He is here this night to marry the woman he loves. Robin."

"Marian. We've know each other our whole lives. I fell for you when we were teenagers and you accepted my pursuit. When I left for war I thought you would hate me forever. I didn't realize how much I loved you till the day I returned and saw you at Knighton. I was so happy the day I found out you still loved me. When you accepted my proposal you made me the happiest man in the world. You've always had my heart but from this point forward you will have my life, my soul, my everything. Even after death takes me, I will love you." He brought her hand to his lips and kissed the back of it.

Marian didn't want to give in to her tears so she blinked a few times and took a steadying breath. "Robin. I never hated you, even when I wanted to. After you left, my eyes were open to the plight of England. It was the love I felt for you that made me fight. It made the pain of loosing you bearable. When you came back I didn't want to believe my eyes; the very thing I had dreamt of and wished for, right at my front door. Even though I didn't tell you, I wanted to pick up where we let off, but we were forced to live apart yet again. I don't ever want to be apart from you again. You are my soul mate, you're the reason everything makes since. I love everything about you; I'm not holding back anymore. Today I give you my whole heart, my life, and my soul, for all eternity, Lord of my heart."

Before the ceremony Marian had taken the engagement ring, which she kept hidden between her breasts, and gave it to Robin. He now put that ring of her finger. "With the expression of love Robin and Marian have declared for each other, and before us all," Richard paused and smiled. "I now pronounce you husband and wife."

Robin lifted his hand to cup Marian's face as they leaned in for a kiss. It was a small simple kiss but spoke volumes for what was to come. The cheers of the gatherers were deafening. Robin and Marian turned to everyone smiling, the gang approached them with hugs, smiles, and some tears.

"Much, don't cry," Marian touched his arm briefly.

"He's not crying," Carter handed Much a small piece of cloth. "He's laughing out the wrong side of his face."

There was a great feast that night to celebrate. A short time later Djaq approached Robin and Marian and asked them to follow her; they did so without hesitation. Walking hand in hand, they kept asking Djaq where she was taking them; but she didn't answer.

They arrived at their tent in short time and stopped. The front flaps of the tent were tied back so they could see inside easily. Two cots had been pushed together and all the others removed. A makeshift table had been setup with two stools, two goblets and a bottle of wine. Candles were everywhere, as many as they could find, giving the tent a warm glow. The cot was strewn with cactus flowers; all in all giving the tent a very romantic feeling.

"Djaq, did you do all this?" Marian asked in wonder as she stepped inside the tent.

"I had help." The gang stepped forward and Will said "We all had different ideas, we just combined them."

"Thank you lads," Robin finally spoke, his voice soft with emotion. "Tomorrow, we'll start …"

"Robin," Much interrupted, surprising everyone, "We'll talk about it tomorrow. Good night my friend." Much slapped him on the back and walked away, Will and Djaq joining him. John and Allen pulled down the flaps of the tent and joined the others. Robin and Marian were finally alone.

The gang returned to the fire, Much and Allen got more to eat, John kept to him self, leaving Will and Djaq to themselves. "It's good that Robin and Marian are finally together." Will mussed, wishing that it would have been his and Djaq's wedding.

"I'm going to go to our tent." Djaq gave Will the most flirtatious smile she could muster and walked off. Allen approached Will when he didn't immediately move after her. "You know she wants you to follow her right." Will looked at Allen unsure of what to say. "I'll keep the boys out her for a while to give you two some privacy." He clapped Will on the shoulder, "Go on." With a small smile Will hurried after Djaq.

Robin made sure the tent opening was securely closed and turned to Marian. They were a little nervous but excited. Robin approached Marian and stopped mere inches from her; he was still amazed by her beauty. He reached up and cupped her face, "We've waited so long," he whispered.

"We don't have to wait any more." That was all Robin needed to hear. He pulled her close and kissed her lips; his free hand running all over her back and down to her butt. Marian ached to feel all of him at once; her hands felt so slow and they tried to lift his shirt. Robin broke the kiss and pulled his shirt up over his head. As soon as it was discarded he went back to kissing her.

He grabbed her dress and pulled it up, lifting it over her head. He picked her up and laid her on the cot. She was breathing heavily which pulled Robin's eyes to her chest. He untied the laces of her bodice and through it on the floor as well. He leaned down to kiss the perfect mounds of her breast. Marian arched her back at the fire that shot through her.

Robin left a trail of kisses from her breast up to her neck. He blew lightly in her ear which made her squirm beneath him. Marian trailed her hands down his chest till they met the top of his pants. She worked the laces till they were loose and she slipped her hand inside. When she grabbed him, a deep moan sounded in his throat. The tighter she squeezed the more he moaned. "Slowly, my love," he whispered.

He lifted him self off her and moved to the pants she was till wearing. He slowly unlaced them and pulled them down even more slowly. When she was laying there completely bare, only one word came to Robin, "Beautiful". He moved up her leg slowly; tracing every curve with the tips of his fingers. When he reached her center it was Marian's time to moan. He slid inside her with easy and she cried out with pleasure. He captured her breast in his mouth while he continued sliding in and out. Marian clawed his back, sending chills through him.

"Robin, please." She begged. That was all he needed, he removed his pants and lay on top of her. They stared into each others eyes. As he slid inside her, his eyes rolled back in pleasure. This was a great way to start the night.
