It had been a month since I officially accepted the Zora Armour. Today was yet another very important day for both me and Mipha.
Today me and her would be getting married. All of Zora's Domain as well as high ranking officials from the other tribes would be there as witness.
We were getting the last minute preparations ready. Mipha would wear her headress and Champion's scarf and I my Zora Armour. Zora's never really went all out on appearances, so why should I.
My marriage into the Zora Royal Family also made me a citizen of the Zora kingdom. I would behave as one such.
Karpson, the Zora priest, was going to be their to administer the ceremony.
We stood in the plaza welcoming and mingling with the guests. After 20 minutes or so went by and everyone was seated the ceremony began.
Music played as Mipha walked down the aisle. This music was presumed to be the Zora equivalent of a wedding march.
Once Mipha arrived next to me, Karpson spoke. "Today we have gathered here to celebrate the unification of Link and Princess Mipha. We also are here to celebrate the addition of another into Zora citizenship as groom to the princess. I now ask each of you of you to recite the wedding vows."
Mipha went first. "I, Mipha, do swear to always protect my husband. Whether rich or poor, in sickness or in health, regardless of times good or bad, I will be the best wife that I can."
I went next. "I, Link, do swear to always protect my wife. Whether rich or poor, in sickness or in health, regardless of times good or bad, I will be the best husband that I can."
Karpson spoke again, "Link, you have but one more thing that you must do. You must recite the proper citizenship vows in order to be officially married to the princess."
I spoke the vow, one of which I had practiced tirelessly, reviewing it late into the night, making sure it was perfect, "I Link, now take this oath before the Goddess Nayru to be a helpful Zora citizen under rule of the Royal Family. I will always protect the Domain and always do what is best for it. I now take the legal title of Zora citizen and respect decisions made by the royal family. This oath is spoken freely and willingly."
After this, Karpson spoke again, "By the authority granted to me as Zora priest, before Nayru, all of Zora's Domain, and other authority, I now pronounce you as husband and wife. You may kiss."
I looked into her glowing eyes once again. They seemed even brighter than ever before. I pulled her in for a kiss. Our lips connected. We both didn't wish to be the first one to pull away.
When we let go, we looked back into the crowd. All were cheering. I looked up to King Dorephan, whom I pledged to always listen to. I saw but a single tear slide down his face.
Once the reception was over, we both went back up to our room. Mipha and I soon went into the comfort of our bed, which we were now both very comfortable sleeping in.
"Do you know a common marriage custom that the newlyweds partake in the night of their marriage?" Mipha asked.
"No, but you could perhaps show me?" I said with a small smirk on my face.
Soon after we succumbed to sleep.
I want to let everyone know that I would love name suggestions.
Remember, there are 2 Zora girls and 1 Zora boy that are unnamed. They all need names. Please give them names.
You have until Friday to name them. The favorite names will be used and those who gave them those names will be in the author's notes section of that fic.
I really would love the help and it means a lot to me.
Anyway for the notes section: this chapter had nothing cut out, but instead something was added right into the final draft. Link's Zora citizenship. I knew I wanted to put that in eventually, but after comming back with a fresh mind, I realized why not make him a citizen at the marriage and make him a member than.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and I cant wait to add another chapter, which should be either tonight or tomorrow.
Bye! :)
