"Well… two more days Mio, until your all mine," Ritsu purred, running her fingers through Mio's hair. "I don't know how you handled all the preparations so calmly while watching the dogs. It's truly admirable."
"Thanks, Ritsu, but there were a few times that I freaked out." Mio admitted, leaning her back on Ritsu. "You weren't home, so I let myself."
"I guess this makes you a bridezillla… just kidding, I can't actually see you being like that," Ritsu said, looking at the back of Mio's neck fondly.
"Of course not, I wouldn't let myself act like that!" Mio huffed. Ritsu chuckled, and wrapped an arm around her waist to pull her closer.
"Ooh, should I have a bachelor party~" Ritsu hummed, after a moment of silence.
"I don't care, just don't do anything ecchi, and it would be a bachelorette party," Mio said.
"Oh, let me enjoy my last day of freedom!" Ritsu said, pretending to complain.
"I wouldn't have let you do it for the past eight years, what makes you think I would let you when we're going to get married?"
"I don't know, maybe you decided that you were sexually satisfying me, or that I needed some more variety in my appetite."
"Why does everything need to be sexual for you?" Mio said, sighing.
"Because, I'm a very sexually active person," Ritsu said, nipping at Mio's ear. "You would know it best of all. Considering you're about as sexually active as I am. Unless, of course, you're cheating on me."
"Why on earth would I cheat on you?"
"I'm not fulfilling your sexual desires?"
"Ritsu, relationships are not based on sex!"
"I know, I know, I'm just kidding Mio," Ritsu chuckled. "I would've waiting a million years for you Mio."
"No you wouldn't have, you would've caved at some point," Mio said.
"I would not have!"
"Yes, you would have, but at that point you probably would've begged for so long that I would just let you."
"Are you saying I have no self control?" Ritsu growled. "Fine, I wont have sex with you for a week!"
"Oh, come on Ritsu, next week is our honeymoon…"
"And we will abstain during it!" Ritsu grumbled, backing away from Mio.
"Ritsu, I'm sorry alright, stop moving!" Mio said, leaning back so that her head was on Ritsu's lap. She smiled up at Ritsu, as Ritsu scowled into the distance.
"You know, you kind of look like a movie poster like that," Mio giggled.
"I look cool don't I? Like a movie star! A natural born actress!" Ritsu said, dramatically.
"Ah, yeah," Mio said, not wanting to disappoint Ritsu.
"And together, we can be porn stars!" Ritsu grinned down at Mio. Mio gave her a blank stare.
"Good god, what have you been doing all day to make you this horny?" Mio said.
"I am not!" Ritsu pouted.
"You clearly are, I can tell," Mio said.
"Shut up!" Ritsu picked herself off the floor and walked away to the bedroom.
"Ritsu… Ritsu!" Mio called, rubbing her head from it hitting the floor when Ritsu left. She sighed as she got up and followed Ritsu to their room.
"Ritsu… come on, don't be angry…" Mio said, quietly.
"Go to sleep…" Ritsu grumbled.
"Why are you so angry? Usually you're already all over me,"
"I don't want to talk about it…" Ritsu said, muffled by the blankets. "I'm just not in the mood."
"Ritsu… do you have your period?" Mio asked, blushing a little.
"Leave me alone! Why do I have to get it now, right before out wedding and our honeymoon!" Ritsu said, pouting.
"You know we can always schedule our honeymoon for another week…" Mio said, calmly laying down next to Ritsu.
"But… I was so excited…" Ritsu said. Mio wrapped an arm around her.
"I know, I know, it's fine Ritsu," Mio hummed.
"Ok, I need to get myself together…" Ritsu said, taking a deep breath. "Well… as long as I get to sex you up, I guess its ok."
"You need to shut up, now," Mio said, letting go of Ritsu. "It makes me wonder why I even have some sympathy for you."
"Well, lets get some sleep, the big days soon!" Ritsu said, with a big stupid happy grin on.
"Yeah… I know." Mio said, hugging Ritsu. "G'night."
"Night," Ritsu mumbled.

"Somehow… I'm not surprised you're the one in the tux, Ritsu." Sawako said, smiling.
Ritsu was standing in front of a mirror, wearing a black tux, adjusting her headband, then taking it off, then putting it back on, adjusting it again, taking it off again, throwing it on the chair, picking it back up, putting it back on and repeating the process. She finally decided to leave her hair down, and shook her bangs out, smoothing them away from her face with her fingers after.
"Sawa-chan! Good to see you could make it!" Ritsu said, smiling, turning to her former high school teacher.
"Well, you paid for half of everyone's tickets… I wasn't going to miss coming to America, maybe I can find a boyfriend."
"No… I doubt it." Ritsu said, snickering at Sawako's dissatisfied face.
"Riichan!"
"I haven't been called that since high school!" Ritsu chuckled. "Hey Mugi!"
"I can't believe you're getting married! And you look so nice in a tux! And Mio is so beautiful I wish you could see her!" Tsumugi gushed, with a pair of gleaming eyes.
"I don't think you wish I could see her as much as I do," Ritsu said, laughing. "Guys, go talk to Mio, I can talk to you later, I'm sure Mio needs calming."
"Oh yeah, I was going right back, I just wanted to say hi… she's pretty nervous." Tsumugi said.
"I kinda thought she probably would be… I wish I could go talk to her…" Ritsu sighed.
"You'll see her soon enough, lovebird…" Sawako grumbled.
"Oh, c'mon don't be bitter, just because you're in your early thirties with out a boyfriend." Ritsu teased.
"I would hit you, but I don't want to ruin the mood." Sawako said, storming out the door.
"Kay, go support Mio, please," Ritsu said to Mugi. "I have to go out soon anyways. Oh and tell her I told her to calm down."
"Alright… good luck and congratz Ritsu." Mugi said, smiling, and took her leave.
"Thanks…" Ritsu said, managing a nervous smile.
"Ritsu-sempai!" a younger girl said.
"Azusa…? Is Yui right behind you?" Ritsu said, looking out the door.
"I sure am! Hiya Ritsu!" Yui said, smiling.
"Oh come on, no Riichan, like the old days?"
"Azusa said nicknames are not appropriate at our age…" Yui frowned.
"Azusa has the mind of a 40-year old woman," Ritsu teased, smiling at her.
"I do not! You have the mind of a 14-year old!" Azusa shot back. Ritsu smirked at her, then grabbed her by the head and gave her a noogie.
"Teasing a soon-to-be-newly-wed? Isn't that bad luck or something?" Ritsu chuckled.
"Ritsu, it's time," a man said, looking inside. He gave them a strange look and then left. They stood in silence for a second before bursting into laughter.
"Did you see his face?" Ritsu said, holding herself up on the wall to stop from laughing.
"That was a Kodak moment!" Azusa said, joining in the laughter.
"Priceless!" Yui laughed.
It took them a minute to calm down, before Ritsu took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
"Alright guys… we should get out now…" Ritsu said, opening her eyes.
"You ready?" Azusa said, patting her back.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Ritsu said, with a nervous smile and they walked out.

-a few minutes before in Mio's room.-
.
Mio was sitting on a chair, in a white strapless dress that went to her ankles. The dress had a seam of flowers going down the left side, leading to a small split. She had white high heels on (even though she really didn't need to be any taller then poor Ritsu), so she had to be extra careful not to fall. Her veil covered her panic stricken face.
"oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my g-"
"SHUT UP!" Sawako shouted, interrupting Mio's panic attack. "I'm going to go visit Ritsu, so calm down by the time I come back!"
"It's ok, Mio. You'll be fine." Mugi said, rubbing her back.
"Do I look ok? What if Ritsu decides she doesn't actually want to get married? What if I trip? Oh god, what if my voice cracks?" Mio said, rubbing her temples.
"IiiiiIiIIiiIii DddDddoooOOOooo~" Yui said, pretending to have her voice crack.
"That's not funny, Yui!" Azusa scolded.
"Sorry." Yui said.
"You'll be fine, Mio-sempai. You look beautiful, Ritsu would probably die before not wanting this, you are not going to trip, and your voice is not going to crack. And I bet if either of the last two happened, Ritsu would laugh." Azusa said.
"Great, because I want my wife to laugh at me during our wedding…" Mio grumbled.
"It was a joke, Mio-sempai, I was trying to lighten the mood… oh never mind." Azusa said.
"I'm going to go pay Ritsu a visit really quickly. I'll be right back, ok?" Mugi said.
"Yeah, I can't be the only one with support… she's probably nervous too, right?" Mio said, scratching slightly at her right bicep.
"I'm sure she is, Mio." Yui said.
"She's probably more worried about you, though." Azusa said. "She probably knows that you're having a panic attack right now."
"She does know me the best doesn't she?" Mio said, with a smile. Her heart skipped a (very fast) beat when she pictured a smiling Ritsu in a tux with her bangs down.
"She does, and she wants the best for you." Azusa said, sitting down next to her. "She's probably thinking about you right now." (hey she is)
"I guess it's not fair that I keep thinking of bad things…" Mio said, shaking her head.
"No, because she's probably sitting in her room thinking about you, she probably wants to come see you." Yui said, with a sympathetic smile.
"Alright, I'll think only good things from here on out!" Mio said, determined.
"Good! Positive thinking will… uh, how does the saying go, Azusa?" Yui asked, a slightly confused look on her face.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, Yui…" Azusa said with a sigh.
"Well, it doesn't matter! Just think good thoughts!" Yui said, encouragingly.
"Thanks Yui… Azusa… it's a big help to have you guys here." Mio said, with a warm smile.
"I'm back. Ritsu said to calm down." Mugi said with a smile.
"Well, Yui, we should probably go say hi too." Azusa said, nudging Yui slightly.
"Alright," Yui said, bounding out the door.
"You really need to learn to act your age…" Azusa said, sighing.
Mugi and Mio sat for a few seconds in silence before there was a knock at the door.
"Can I come in?" a manly voice said.
"Oh, sure Mr. Akiyama!" Mugi said, opening the door. "I'll just go take my seat!"
"Thanks, Tsumugi." He said, with a smile. "How's my favorite daughter doing?"
"I'm your only daughter, dad," Mio said, with an anxious smile.
"Well, I'm going to have a daughter-in-law soon, so you wont be my favorite for long!" he said, with a chuckle.
"Dad!" Mio hissed.
"I'm just kidding, how could I pick her over my own blood relation?" he said, rubbing Mio's shoulders. "Ready kid?"
"I am not a kid, father," Mio said, defiantly.
"Obviously not, you're already getting married!" he said, laughing. "What child gets married these days, besides those stupid shotgun wedding kids."
"Dad… what are you talking about?" Mio said.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"It's time…" a woman said.
"Well… looks like you won't be mine anymore… but you'll always be my baby, Mio Tainaka." He said, helping her up. They walked out together, Mio's heart pounding. They turned the corner, and Mio closed her eyes. She heard everyone shift in their seats, and then she heard a snicker.
"Mio!" her father whispered. "Open your eyes!"
"No!" Mio hissed. She heard a louder snicker.
"You're wife is laughing at you." He retorted. Her eyes shot open to see Ritsu standing properly, trying desperately not to laugh.
"Baka Ritsu!" she growled.
They continued to walk down the aisle, and soon her father left her. Ritsu gazed lovingly at her, and Mio looked back, embarrassed. She tried her best to look only at Ritsu.
Ritsu…Ritsu…Ritsu…Ritsu…
…. Floor…
Mio didn't really process what happened, it was just she saw Ritsu, she felt her feet come from under her, she saw the floor, felt pain in her nose, heard gasps, and one person burst into laughter.
"Is she ok?"
"Should someone help her up?"
"Oh my gosh."
"!"
"RITSU SHUT UP!" Mio shouted, picking herself back up. She hurried down the aisle and hit Ritsu on the head.
"Ow!" Ritsu pouted. "That hurt!"
"I'm glad." Mio growled.
"Hey Mio, you look beautiful." Ritsu said, sincerely.
"Thanks…" Mio blushed. "You, uh, look nice."
"You're lying." Ritsu teased.
"Sure, whatever you want." Mio said, turning to the guy.
"I love you." Ritsu said, turning to the guy.
"Love you too." Mio said, with a smile.
-ceremony thing, with all the talky-talky-talky-
-about halfway thru-
"Ritsu!" Mio hissed. "How on earth are you sleeping while standing!"
"Huh? Sorry, baby, I'll go buy the lightbulbs…" Ritsu mumbled, half awake.
Mio groaned.
"Eeh? Oh my god, I'm sorry Mio," Ritsu whispered, earnestly.
"It's fine," Mio said. "Some how I'm not surprised."
-blahblahblaahahahaha-
"Do you take Ritsu Tainaka as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?" the dude said.
"I do," Mio said, smiling.
"Do you take Mio Aki-"
"I do, I do, I do, now let me kiss her!" Ritsu interrupted.
"Ritsu!" Mio scolded.
The crowd laughed.
"Well, then I now pronounce you hus- wife and wife!" he said with a smile.
"Now?" Ritsu asked, earning her a small pinch to her fore arm.
"You may now… kiss the bride!" the dude said.
"Ah yes!" Ritsu said, flinging Mio's veil off, before she could protest, and throwing herself at Mio. They shared a passionate kiss before Mio remembered where they were, and pushed her off.
"Good god Ritsu!" Mio said, feeling a bit light headed. Ritsu caught her with a snicker.
"I've been training with Mercutio!" Ritsu said.
"You've been practicing with the dog? I can't believe I just kissed you!" Mio said, mortified.
"Did it taste like kibble n' beats?"
"This is gross, Ritsu."
"I'm just kidding, silly." Ritsu said, walking away.
"Hey come back, we're supposed to walk together." Mio said, walking down. Ritsu then broke into a run.
"Catch me!" she called from over her shoulder.
"Ritsu!" Mio shouted, as she turned the corner. She ran to the corner and shouted in surprise as she was lifted off her feet.
"You've gotten a big heavier since high school." Ritsu said, with a smirk.
"Shut up, I didn't ask you to carry me!" Mio said, turning red.
"But I want to, now lets go!" Ritsu said, walking away to the reception with Mio in her arms.
