Ventus Strife did not plan for an over the top wedding. His relationship with his father figure, Master Eraqus was rather strained. His fiancé did not care for a huge wedding. In fact, it took a lot of convincing for her to even agree to his proposal. She was okay with just signing a sheet of paper. So was he. Unfortunately, his fiancé's sister found out about the arrangement and decided her older sister deserved more. His soon to be sister-in-law took it upon herself to be the wedding planner.

"Ven, are you nervous?" questioned his best man, Terra.

"Of course I am," he growled.

Terra let out a hearty laugh, slapping him on the back. He winced. Terra doesn't even know the pressure he is feeling. It was supposed to be a special day, or so he has been told. Most of the people at the wedding hate him. They were all friends and family of the bride.

To top that, this is the first time in years since he has seen his "father". Much to his displeasure, Master Eraqus and apprentice Aqua was invited to his wedding. He felt guilty for not keeping in contact with the young Aqua.

The day had dragged on, starting with pictures. Then, they had the fancy ceremony. The last thing in the plans was the dinner party. He had hoped that when he went up to Master Eraqus, he would have his best friend to back him up. That was not the case. Said best friend was too busy flirting with Ventus' sister-in-law

"Congratulations on your marriage," Master Eraqus told him.

"Yeah, thanks," he grumbled.

He took a swing of beer, opting to ignore Eraqus' frown. He did not want to deal with the man. Their falling out was not pretty. Harsh words exchanged that can never be taken back. Master Eraqus lingered before he left him alone. Master took Aqua with him and departed from the dinner.

Walking up beside him, his new wife put a hand on his shoulder.

"Ven, you should have forgiven the man already. It's been so long since you have seen him, since it happened," his lovely bride gently scolded him.

"I know I should. I just can't," he responded.
