AN: I thought this chapter should be a little funny due to the bad place's my mind will go on the last few chapters. So let's see how this wedding will go after both Edward and Winry get a little buzzed before their wedding.
Ties of friendship Chap.6
Saturday was the day of the wedding as the alarm clock went off Edward hit the top of it and fell out of bed "Daaaaamn" he said rubbing his ass. 'I've got one thing to do today' he thought again 'Well three things, I have to pick up my tuxedo, make it to the church on time and then get married' he counted on his fingers. "I'm not going to screw this up" he sat down and put his head in his hands 'Who am I fooling If something's going to happen it'll be to me.'
Al opened the bedroom door "Hey brother" he noticed Edward was stressing "Are you okay?"
Edward looked up at his younger brother's smiling face and he didn't want to tell him he was a nervous wreck inside "Yeah Al I'm fine" he smiled.
"Good" Al stepped through the door "Colonel Mustang is picking you up in a half hour to go get your tuxedo. Then he'll drive you to the church."
Edward knew this was going to be an interesting ride with the Colonel "Alright thanks Al."
Al went to shut the door "I'll see you at the church" he stopped before he shut the door and looked back at Edward and reassured his brother "Ed you're doing the right thing. You two belong together."
Al's words made Edward feel better as he smiled "Thank you Al for reminding me of that. I'll see you at the church." After Al left Edward got into the shower and realized 'I am making the right choice. I love her so much and I can't live without her. She's always been the only one for me. She understands me like no one else. She's not afraid to put me in check when I need it.' He turned the water off and got out, dried off and got dressed.
He heard Mustang's horn and he grabbed his jacket and ran out the door. When he reached the car he thought Mustang was going to make some smart ass comment.
"Well Fullmetal looks like you're making a hell of a decision." Mustang smirked "But I'm seriously happy for the both of you. I've known for a long time she was the one you were going to marry."
"I'm glad you did Colonel" he slid in the car "There for a while I didn't know if she'd still have me."
"Are you kidding that girl loves you, she has for a long time." Mustang began to drive down the road.
Edward stared out the window as they drove down the road. He tried to think about things other than something going wrong. But he felt very nervous "Is being nervous normal Colonel?"
Mustang grinned "Don't think about the wedding think about the honeymoon."
Edward then focused on WInry and kissing her. He thought back to the night when Shinji had interrupted them and he smiled. 'Tonight is the night Winry will be mine, completely mine and she will be my wife. Wife? Wow that's a word I'm going to have to get used to.' He began to calm down a little as they pulled up to the tuxedo shop. He got out of the car and went in and emerged five minutes later in his tuxedo and his clothes in a bag.
"WOW! Fullmetal you look great." Mustang said surprised Edward could pull off a tuxedo.
"Thanks Colonel" Edward raised an eyebrow "I think" He pulled on the collar of the shirt because it felt like it was strangling him so he unbuttoned the first button. He could still be comfortable and wear the monkey suit. It was ten thirty and the ceremony was supposed to start at eleven. He started to feel nervous again when they pulled up in front of the church and he saw all the people. 'My gosh I never knew we made so many friends in our journey's.' He thought back to those four years Al and he searched to get their bodies back. 'I guess we did make a lot of friends.' Mustang parked the car and they both walked up to the church. Edward could feel his knees began to shake as they entered.
Winry was having problems of her own her hair wasn't coming out the way she wanted. Then they couldn't find her shoes and she didn't want the veil to cover her face. She wanted to gaze into Edward's amber eyes during the ceremony and she wanted nothing to obstruct that. She had butterflies that felt like elephants running through her stomach. She didn't know if she could walk in her shoes because her legs were shaking so bad.
"Edward look at you." She smiled "You look so handsome." Izumi said straightening his tie and buttoning the top button on his shirt.
"Thank you teacher" he started to pull at the collar of the shirt again and she smacked his hand.
"Train the mind Ed" she glared at him "You only have to wear it for a little while. You can unbutton it after the ceremony."
"Yes ma'am" He said dropping his hand to his side as she patted his shoulders.
"That's my boy" she smiled and turned to Sig "Honey did you find me a seat?"
He pointed to a seat in the front "Here Izumi" Sig was Edward's best man because Al was giving WInry away. Edward smiled at Sig "If I pass out catch me alright."
"You're not going to pass out. Once your eyes gaze upon her beauty every fear will disappear." Sig told him and Edward hoped he was right but all he could hear was the tick tock of the clock as he watched everyone fill the church.
Shinji and Hiyroi walked up to him "Hey buddy you look like you want to run or pass out."
Edward looked at the girl standing next to Shinji in the purple dress and her hair down "Hiyori?" he looked closer "Is that you?"
"Not one word Edward or I'll kill you." She threatened but since hanging out with WInry she had got some tips on being more like a girl and less like a serial killer.
Edward couldn't believe his eyes "No! I mean you look great."
"Reeeeally" her face lit up "You think so?" she had worked on herself all morning to get just the right look she saw in the magazine.
"Yeah" he looked at Shinji "Riiight Shinji?"
Shinji was looking around "Yeah, yeah she looks fine." The look on Hiyori's face made Edward want to smack the crap out of him. So he leaned down by her ear "You're beautiful Hiyori."
"Thanks Edward" She then scowled at Shinji and punched him in the face "WHY CAN''T YOU GIVE COMPLIMENTS LIKE THAT?" She clinched her fists by her side "YOU PISS ME OFF SO BAD SOMETIMES SHINJI!"
Shinji clueless of why she just hit him, "What the hell was that for?"
"SHUT UP AND GO SIT DOWN YOU DUMBASS!" Hiyori said stomping off.
Ed turned to Shinji, "Wow you are a real dumbass aren't you." Shinji didn't know what Ed meant so he shrugged his shoulders and turned to follow Hiyori.
Edward watched as the church filled to capacity with people 'I'm so nervous I feel like I'm going to pass out. AIR! I need air, I'm getting claustrophobic.' His breathing was fast as he looked at Sig "Excuuuuuse me for a minute." He turned and walked to the hallway and leaned against the wall then slid down into a sitting position.
"Ed are you okay?" Al asked walking by on his way to get Winry.
Edward looked up "Yeah Al just getting some air."
"You're not planning on running out are you?" Lilly said in his high pitched voice appearing in the doorway in her pink sequin flared out at the waist ballerina style dress.
"NO!" Edward yelled then smiled at her "Just nerves."
Al shrugged his shoulders "Well you better get back in there. I'm going to get WInry." He said walking down the hall to a door then he went through it and disappeared.
Edward stood up "Ahhh, I'm so nervous."
Lilly snapped her fingers then dug into her purse and pulled out a flask "Here sip this it'll take the nerves away."
Edward took it "Okay" as he tipped it up and took three big gulps.
"NO HONEY I SAID SIP IT!" she grabbed it from him "Oh dear."
Edward freaked "WHAT! What's it going to do to me?"
"My granddaddy made that, it is one hundred and twenty proof and I've never gulped it before." She smiled a cheesy smile.
Edward kicked the wall "DAAAMN!" then he jumped up and down "Damn, damn, daaaamn!" then he stopped abruptly as a warm feeling came over him.
"Well sugar the effects should be hitting you right about-"she looked at his pupils as they dilated "Now."
He got a goofy smile on his face as he looked at Lilly "I feel less" he hiccupped "Reeeaally less nervous now." He threw his arm around her neck and stupidly grinned and she knew he was buzzed to the gills "Let's go get married."
Niki had poured Winry a glass of champagne to calm her nerves. She walked up to hand her the glass and Winry grabbed the bottle "Thank you" she said as she turned it up and sucked half the bottle down.
"Uh….Winry" Niki took the half drank bottle "That was alcohol."
Winry smiled "Really I've never had it before it was good." She told Niki as she had a problem with her shoes "These shoes are so uncomfortable."
Al walked in "Are you ready Winry? It'll be starting in ten minutes." He took her hand and led her to the hallway to wait for the wedding march to start.
She squeezed Al's arm because the champagne had gone right to her head. "Are you okay?" Al asked.
"My head feels a little fuzzy." She hiccupped and started fanning herself "Is it hot in here?" she asked Al then burst out laughing. Al gave her a strange look and shrugged his shoulders. The longer they stood there the more she fussed with her shoes "Daaaamn things" She slammed the bouquet into Al's chest "Hold this" she slurred out as she bent over and adjusted them. She stood up and pushed her veil out of her face back over her shoulder "Allllriiiighty I think I'm reaaady" she sang out then laughed.
"Winry what's wrong with you?" Al had never seen her like this before.
"Notin" She smiled and squeezed his cheek between he fingers "Oley dopey let's go."
Edward was standing by Sig "Sig…Sig…Siiiiig" He put his finger up and called the big man's head down next to his. As he was about to say something he ended up burping in Sigs ear instead.
"Edward have you been drinking?" Sig asked narrowing his eyes at him.
"I miiighhht haaave." Edward slurred out as he tried to focus on Sig "Wow big man I see three of yooooou." Then he laughed.
The wedding march started and the doors opened and there stood Al and Winry. Edward's eyes widened as he saw Winry he thought 'she looks beooutiful' as he yelled at the top of his lungs across the church "WOOOOOW! YOU LOOK SOOOO HOT!"
Everyone couldn't believe he just said that. Then they noticed how he was acting. 'CRAP! He's drunk' Mustang thought. 'He's going to kill me when he sobers up' Lilly thought to herself. Niki thought 'I have just took this wedding to a whole other level and I'm going to die afterwards because WInry's going to kill me.'
Al began to walk WInry down the aisle as they got halfway to the alter she tripped and caught herself on Lilly face. Lilly was surprised as Winry's hand braced her up on Lilly's face "Daaamn these shoes" Winry growled as she bent over in the middle of the aisle and pulled the shoes off then threw them. She looked at Lilly and laughed hysterically because her hand had pushed Lilly's top wig to the side. Al went to help her steady herself.
"I GOT IT AL!" She yelled straightening herself as she leaned over to Al's ear "Did you see her hair?" then she laughed again.
Lilly and Niki shrank down in their seats as they tried to crawl across the floor to the door. Knowing full well they had just single handedly got the bride and groom smashed.
Winry finally made it to the alter and Al put her hand in Edward's. Edward stood there with a goofy smile as the pastor started the ceremony. Edward leaned back and looked at WInry's ass then he turned to everyone in the church and pointed to it and mouthed 'That's mine' and threw a thumbs up as the pastor asked him to turn back around.
Winry kept fusing with her veil because it was tickling her face. She blew it out of the way quite a few times then she pulled it off her head and threw it backwards and it landed at Hawkeye's feet. 'What the hell is she doing?' Riza thought.
Edward interrupted the pastor "Can you hold on one second?" he asked as he sat down and pulled his boots off. Then he stumbled to his feet "Alllllriiiighty" he said smiling as he threw one boot that hit Mustang's head and the other boot Armstrong caught in mid-flight.
As the pastor went on he got to the 'I do' part as Edward was struggling to get his jacket off "Its way Hot in here." He said swinging his arm trying to get his jacket off. Everyone had face-palmed by now because they all knew they were both drunk.
"Sig…..Siiiig" Edward whispered.
"Do not burp in my ear again Edward." Sig said leaning down to him.
"I won't" then he burped "I'm soooorry but do you have a marker." He noticed the black pen in Sig's jacket pocket and he reached up and took it.
"Win…..Win…..Winry bend over." He said laughing.
"What?" she asked but in her buzzed state she bent over and he wrote in black marker 'MINE" across her ass. He pointed to it then mouthed again "Mine" to everyone.
Winry stood up and like a dog chasing its tail she turned in circles to try to see it and almost fell into the standing flowers. She then took the pen from Edward and proceeded to write 'MINE' across his forehead. They both said 'I do' after Sig got them focused back on the pastor. Sig also helped them exchange their rings because neither on could find the other ones finger then the both fell to the floor laughing.
Winry stumbled up and threw her bouquet hitting Armstrong in the face. Edward stood up and swayed back and forth and Sig had to grab him by the back of the shirt to hold him up.
"AHHH!" he yelled "I'm FLOATING" his feet were off the ground as Sig held him so Edward began to swim in the air "Hey look I can fly."
Izumi just face-palmed and then thought 'What the hell at least their having fun.'
Sig sat Edward back on his feet as the pastor told him to kiss his bride. They both leaned in for the kiss and head butted each other "Hoooney I'm soooorry" Edward said helping her up from the ground.
"I LOOOOOOVE YOOOOOOU" she sang smiling as he kissed her cheek.
"THIS IS MY SEXY HOT WIFE!" he yelled to everyone "MRS. EDWIN ELLLLPRIC" he messed up his name but everyone knew what he meant.
No one knows how the bride and groom got to the reception. But they passed on the first dance because neither one of them could stand very well. Izumi was trying to get food and coffee into both of them. About an hour later Winry was starting to sober up some but Edward had stolen Lilly's foot long flask and poured it into the punchbowl. Everyone had been sipping on the punch for an hour. If anyone opened the door to the reception hall it actually looked like a three ring circus.
Shinji was yelling at Hiyori chasing her around "HIYOOOORI, GET OFF THE GORILLA GUY!" As she rode around on Darius's shoulders in his chimeara form. Al had stumbled out of a closet with pink lip prints all over his face and to his surprise it was Lolly in the closet with him and her pet purple Shelton pony with a cardboard horn like a unicorn. Al looked at Niki 'WHAT THAT WASN'T YOU IN THE CLOSET WITH ME?' He thought then he saw Lolly come out straightening her dress 'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!' He screamed in his head before tripping over his own shoelace and knocking himself out. Mustang had started disrobing on the dance floor singing "I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT!" as Havoc rubbed his own butt with his shirt singing "WIGGLE….WIGGLE…WIGGLE" as he shook it back and forth, girls started sticking dollar bills in the waist of their pants. Hawkeye swung her shoulder rap over her head in a circle "YOU GO BABY!" she screamed hooting and making cat calls. Olivier Armstrong had taken on Scar and Major Miles in the bathroom let's just say they both were exhausted. Henkiel was chasing Lisa and Mashiro because they had rubbed cat nip behind their ears.
It was mass chaos Jerso was swinging from the chandelier throwing food and blowing his saliva on everyone that past below. Edward finally started sobering up and he saw everyone else drunk off their asses. He looked at Winry "Let's get out of this circus."
She smiled "Can you walk yet?"
He laughed "If it'll get us out of here I'll run into a wall if I have to." He stood up and clanked two glasses together "HEY EVERYONE" He sat the glasses down and looked back up and took WInry's hand "MY WIFE AND I ARE LEAVING. PLEASE ENJOY THE REST OF THE PARTY AND THANK YOU FOR COMING!" A huge uproar from the crowd happened as Winry stood up and followed him out of the room. He stopped in the hallway and turned to her "Are you ready?" he whispered to her as he smiled.
She put her arms around his neck and kissed him "Ready as I'll ever be." Then they both ran to the hotel room.
