Thank you, thank you, thank you! And, by the way, I hope this last chapter isn't too mushy. I wrote it while listening to the Edward Scissorhands music and Ingrid Michaelson so...anyhoo, PLEASE REVIEW! Did this story suck or was it good? I want your opinion! It'll help me with my future stories!

Chapter 10: Sunny Afternoon

Sakura stood on the sandy driveway outside of the little white church. Above the sky was a bright blue and the hot July sun shone brightly. The doors were open and Sakura could hear the excited murmur of people talking inside the church. Hinata bounded down the steps in a light-colored knee length dress.

"Ready?" Hinata asked.

"Of course." Sakura said. She was wearing a simple, white, V-neck dress. The light material flowed down her waist and swept against ground. Her hair was pulled into a loose bun with a couple strands hanging down and she was holding a bouquet of white baby's breath.

"You look gorgeous." Hinata tucked a sprig of the baby's breath behind Sakura's ear. "Really."

"Thanks Hinata," Sakura hugged her friend. At that moment her father walked down the church steps and extended his arm so he could lead her into the church.

"I'm proud of you Sakura," Mr Haruno said quietly to Sakura before they entered the church. "Sasuke is a fine man. I think you'll be very happy."

"Thank you, Dad." Sakura smiled and took her fathers arm.

They walked up the wooden steps of the church with Hinata leading the way. Someone began playing the piano as Mr. Haruno led Sakura down the church isle. The music floated through the air almost like a lullaby–a sweet, beautiful lullaby. Friends and relatives stood up from their seats in the pews and watched as Sakura walked down the aisle. Tenten gave Sakura a huge grin and a double thumbs up. The Hyuugas, except for Hinata who was Sakura's bridesmaid, looked on in their usual semi-stoic manner. Neji did shoot Tenten a quick glance that probably meant something like 'You're not supposed to give the bride a thumbs up, you bozo.' Tsunade was on the verge of tears. Itachi was in tears and was mumbling something about how "baby brothers all grown up!" Fugaku Uchiha was handing Itachi tissues and hissing to Itachi: "Pull yourself together, man!" Mrs. Uchiha was shushing them and smiling at Sakura. Naruto, the best man, was grinning at Sakura...or maybe at Hinata? Everyone was there, smiling on at Sakura, but Sakura didn't care. She was watching Sasuke. Sasuke, standing at the front of the church in his black suit and tie, looked at her and she could tell he was slightly nervous (which was a rare thing to see, considering he's an Uchiha and Uchiha's are never nervous). But as soon as Sasuke saw Sakura's contagious smile, the happiness bubbling up inside him overcame the anxiety and he grinned too.

When they reached the altar where Sasuke was, Sakura gave her father a hug and a kiss on the cheek before Mr. Haruno went to sit down. The couple didn't stop smiling throughout the whole ceremony. Not when they said their vows. Not when Deidara dropped a hymnal and said swore quite loudly. Not when they put each others rings on.

"You may kiss the bride."

Well, they didn't stop smiling then either. Sasuke leaned down and kissed Sakura gently on the lips, circling his arms around her waist. Sakura put her arms around his neck and kissed back. The whole church cheered. Oh, and by this time both Fugaku Uchiha and Itachi were crying buckets and trying to be manly about it. The cheers and applause continued as the husband and wife went back down the aisle, hand in hand and still smiling and laughing. Before getting into Sasuke's old convertible which was decked out in streamers and a "Just Married" banner, Sakura turned around and tossed her bouquet in the air. The air fell silent as it spinned in the air for a second before falling back to earth. All the girls stretched out their arms. As if in slow motion the bouquet landed in Hinata's hand. Her jaw dropped open.

"Oh my God! Hinata you got it!" Tenten clapped. Hinata glanced around nervously and accidentally caught Naruto's eye. He grinned at her. She looked back to the white bouquet of baby's breath timidly and focused on not fainting.

Sakura got into Sasuke's convertible and turned around in her seat and waved to the happy, cheering crowd as Sasuke drove them away from the chapel. She waved until they were out of sight. Sakura turned to Sasuke who was driving. He glanced at her and smiled softly as he took her hand in his. He massaged the soft skin on the back of her hand with his thumb. The sun was sinking on the horizon and turning the sky a beautiful pink. Words couldn't describe how happy they were. So they just sat back and let the wind whip their hair around their faces as they cruised down the road, listening to the radio as it played on the car's stereo.

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl


The End
