CHAPTER 10
The Wedding
It was January 3 so Link went up to the bakery to buy the wedding cake. Link was walking up to the bakery when he saw the shop he went to the other day. It was called The Deason's Shop. Link couldn't push away the thought. 'How original.' he thought. He pushed open the door making the door jingle and called to Karla. Karla came running.
"Link! Hey, come in," she said.
"Actually, I came to say hi and also the wedding's today. Are you still coming?" Link asked. She nodded.
"I'll go tell him I'm leaving, 'k?" she said and rushed off to the back of the store. She came back with cookies.
"What's that for?" Link asked. She laughed.
"The wedding of course!" she said and went out the door Link was holding open for her. Link went out second and went down to the bakery. Link had already ordered the cake and he said he would come back the next to get it.
"Yes? Can I help you?" a man asked.
"Link Park," Link simply said and the man went to the back and came back with a cake. It had white icing, strawberry ice cream in the middle, and miniature versions of Kafei and Anju in their wedding outfits. It had 4 layers so it was stacked pretty tall.
"There you go," he said. Link thanked him and left with Karla. They went back to the inn.
"So, this is where you live," she said fascinated.
"It's not so special," Link said. She smiled and went upstairs.
"There you are!" Anju said. She took the cake from him and told him to go get the drinks. Link went into the kitchen and grabbed and big tote bag with Ginger Ale, Dr Pepper, Sierra Mist, strawberry soda, Coca Cola, and Pepsi in it. It was pretty heavy so he got help from Karla.
"Who's this?" Myra asked.
"Not my girlfriend," Link said. Karla was thinking 'Not yet.' Myra laughed.
"My name's Karla Deason," she said and managed to shake her hand.
"You're John Deason's daughter, aren't you?" she asked. Karla nodded and helped Link put the drinks in the back. They were going to have the wedding just outside the walls of Clock Town in Termina Field. Kafei and Anju settled on the area; near the entrance to the Great Bay. Karla and Link climbed in the back and but the drinks at their feet. Kafei and Anju got in the front and Myra got in beside Link.
When they got there another group of people set up the tables and the arches on the aisle. Karla put flowers on them and Link set out the drinks. Anju brought her dress and someone else brought a black paper dressing room. She put her makeup and dress on. Someone curled her hair. Kafei was all ready and waiting for the wedding to start.
"I want a wedding like this," Karla said dreamily. Link laughed but stopped when she was looking at him. He hurriedly went to setting up the seats that someone else brought. Karla came and helped him. Karla accidentally bumped into Link and laughed. Link laughed too because they were both on the ground. They got up and continued setting up the seats. Everyone in Clock Town was coming, so they needed at least 120 seats.
Myra unrolled a long pink carpet on the wedding aisle because the flowers were pink. Finally when they finished Link and Karla just stared at it.
"Great job," Kafei told everyone who helped, "and thanks. It means a lot to me." He smiled and went to the start of the aisle. Someone brought a piano and started to play. The pastor went up to the end to say the vows when they got up there. Link and Karla just stood at the wall.
Anju came out slowly with her father. Kafei turned around and gasped. Link got out his camera, because he promised to film the entire thing. He started to film. Anju finally made up to Kafei. They walked slowly up the aisle to the pastor. When they reached there the pastor boomed out the vows.
"Do you Kafei Smith take Anju King as your lawfully wedded wife?" he asked, "Through suffering, sadness, and happiness, till death do you part?"
Kafei answered, "I do."
"Do you Anju King take Kafei as your lawfully wedding husband? Through suffering, sadness, and happiness, to obey, till death do you part?" he asked Anju.
Anju smiled, "I do."
"You may kiss the bride!" he said cheerfully. Kafei swooped Anju into his arms. Everyone stood up and cheered and clapped. Link smiled he couldn't do anything because he had the camera in his hand. Karla whistled and clapped. She even yelled out "Congratulations!" Link zoomed in on their kiss. Anju and Kafei parted when suddenly Karla hugged Link. Link blushed.
"They're so lucky," she said softly. Then somebody yelled, "LET THE PARTY BEGIN!" and everyone got up and went to the cake, cookies, sausage balls, sodas, and everything else that was over there. Someone brought a jukebox, something you don't see everyday, and turned on music.
"Let's go see Anju and Kafei," Link said while stuttering. Link gave someone else the job of video taping and went to Anju.
"Congrats!" Karla yelled. Link hugged Anju and fist pumped Kafei.
"Hah hah, thanks," Kafei said. Anju nodded and sipped at her Coca Cola. Everyone partied and had beverages. It was around 5:00 pm when it was over. The wedding started at 12:00 so it was a pretty good party.
"Link," Karla said.
"Yeah?" he asked. He knew what was coming.
"I really like you. I've like you ever since I met you," she confessed. Link wrapped his arms around her small fragile body and smiled. She hugged him back and they walked into Clock Town.
