DGG: All right, Lovely Readers. I think this is the final story in this first act. The next act will have Yuya. Yay! Thanks to those who have been reading and reviewing thus far! I have taken some into consideration.

So thanks again, and I will see you in Act II!

"I do," smiled Yusho as he gazed at the beautiful woman standing across from him at the altar, their hands interlocked in between them.

"And do you, Yoko – "

Yusho couldn't believe it. This moment was really happening. Really and truly happening.

" – take this man – "

He supposed he thought this day would happen to him, but he never really dwelt on it too much throughout his life.

" – to be your lawfully wedded husband – "

Marriage had never been at the forefront of his mind. Until he met Yoko…

" – to have and to hold from this day forward – "

He loved her. Her laugh, her smile, her gorgeous emerald eyes, her kind and caring heart, her fierce attitude…everything.

" – for better or for worse – "

His breath had caught in his throat and his heart had skipped a beat when she entered the sanctuary. Next to her, in his traditional black suit and tie, he felt quite frumpy…

" – for richer or for poorer – "

Her dress wasn't traditional, per se. It was white, of course. And it was both strapless and sleeveless.

" – in sickness and in health – "

The dress, itself, only came to about her knees, but it was also layered with white lace with floral patterns all over it. The lace extended past the actual dress, stopping in the front about midway down her shin, but the back of the lace extended all the way to the floor. The only thing stopping it from dragging on the ground was the fact that she was wearing a pair of silver high-heel sandals. No train. Nothing extra except for the small pink flowers in her braided hair, and the vale on her head, which she wore already pulled back.

" – until death do you part?"

He waited with bated breath. Any moment now she would surely come to her senses. Right? She would realize that she was way out of his league, that she was far too good for him. Right? Wouldn't she?

Yoko squeezed his hands, breaking him from his irrational thought process. All his last minute fears melted away as she smiled at him, a few happy tears glistening in her eyes, causing Yusho's heart to skip another beat.

"I do," she nodded.

"Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you two husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Yusho wasted no time. With one final adoring gaze at the woman, he cupped her face with his hands, and gave her their first, official kiss as husband and wife. Yoko batted her eyes as they pulled apart, both their smiles wide.

"May I present to you, Mister and Misses Yusho Sakaki!"

The newlyweds turned and faced the crowd, seeing a few people crying and clapping – Skip, of course, was balling for joy behind Yusho. The couple held hands as they grinned at each other and began to make their way back up the aisle to the other end of the hall.

Yusho had always strove to live his life in happiness, and he had always accomplished that goal. But today…the amount of happiness and elation he felt were off the charts. He was on an entirely new plane of bliss. He felt lighter than a feather, as though he were walking on air. He was married now. He had a wife now. Yoko agreed to marry him, and now that's just what happened! He couldn't believe it. She said 'yes.' She said 'I do'. And now they were going to spend the rest of their lives together in happily married bliss.

This was only the beginning. He had no idea what was in store during this next chapter of their lives together, but he couldn't wait to find out with her by his side.
