Serenity was with Amai. She was standing in front of a full length mirror in her wedding dress. The dress had a corset like shining top with straps that went low around her shoulders and the bottom flowed out with a thin sparkling fabric over it that reached to the floor. Her veil fell down her back with white rose clips to keep it on her head. Her hair was in a bun with a few curled pieces in front of her face.
Amai was her maid of honor and Mai was her bride's maid. Their dresses were sleek and form fitting with an overlying fabric that was a light blue. There was a slit up one side reaching to the middle of their thigh with white roses along it and a white underlying fabric. Joey had refused to come though he wouldn't tell anyone why, besides that he hated Seto, so Yugi was the one who was going to give her away and he was going to be Seto's Groom's Men while Mokuba was his Best Man. Two of Seto's employees' children were the flower girl and ring bearer.
Mai walked into the room, "Serenity it's-you look beautiful!" she said making her blush. "Thank you but what were you saying before?" Mai looked confused but then remembered. "Oh right! It's almost time for the bride to go down. So come on!" She left the room along with Amai while Serenity stayed in a moment longer. "Serenity..." She turned to see Yugi standing there. "Come on you wouldn't want to make Kaiba worry about you." He gave her a small smile as she walked over to him. She grabbed her bouquet of red roses off the chair and slipped her arm into his then they both walked out of the room just as Mai started going inside.
They stood just out of the doorway so no one would see her until she started walking down. Serenity looked down at Yugi and wished that it could have been Joey but didn't say a word as the wedding march began to play. She could hear the people rise from their seats as she and Yugi moved to the doorway. She saw Seto standing at the altar, just starting to turn around, and looking handsome in his black tux.
Seto's eyes widened slightly then smile very softly when he saw his bride walking down the aisle. She looked like an angel…though it may be the last time he can really call me that since soon she would a creature of evil, a creature of the undead is the complete opposite of an angel. When Serenity reached him Yugi moved to his spot next to Mokuba and Seto moved her veil out of her face.
The minister cleared his throat to begin"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered together here in the sign of God and in the face of this company to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony, which is commended to be honorable among all men; and therefore is not by any to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and solemnly. Into this holy estate these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together let them speak now or forever hold their peace."No one said anything so he continued,
"Marriage is the union of husband and wife in heart, body and mind. It is intended for their mutual joy and for the help and comfort given on another in prosperity and adversity. But more importantly it is a means through which a stable and loving environment may be attained."Through marriage, Seto Kaiba and Serenity Wheeler make a commitment together to face their disappointments embrace their dreams realize their hopes and accept each other's failures. Seto and Serenity will promise one another to aspire to these ideals throughout their lives together through mutual understanding openness and sensitivity to each other."We are here today before God because marriage is one of His most sacred wishes to witness the joining in marriage of Seto Kaiba and Serenity Wheeler. This occasion marks the celebration of love and commitment with which this man and this woman begin their life together. And now through me He joins you together in one of the holiest bonds. Who gives this woman in marriage to this man?"
Yugi and Mai step forward from their places both saying "We as her friends do."
The minister continued,"This is a beginning and a continuation of their growth as individuals. With mutual care, respect, responsibility and knowledge comes the affirmation of each one's own life happiness, growth and freedom. With respect for individual boundaries comes the freedom to love unconditionally. Within the emotional safety of a loving relationship the knowledge self-offered one another becomes the fertile soil for continued growth. With care and responsibility towards self and one another comes the potential for full and happy lives."By gathering together all the wishes of happiness and our fondest hopes for Seto and Serenity from all present here, we assure them that our hearts are in tune with theirs. These moments are so meaningful to all of us, for what greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen each other in all labor to minister to each other in all sorrow to share with each other in all gladness."This relationship stands for love, loyalty, honesty and trust, but most of all for friendship. Before they knew love, they were friends, and it was from this seed of friendship that is their destiny. Do not think that you can direct the course of love for love, if it finds you worthy, shall direct you."Marriage is an act of faith and a personal commitment as well as a moral and physical union between two people. Marriage has been described as the best and most important relationship that can exist between them. It is the construction of their love and trust into a single growing energy of spiritual life. It is amoral commitment that requires and deserves daily attention. Marriage should be a lifelong consecration of the ideal of loving kindness backed with the will to make it last. Now let us listen closely to the words these two have for each other."He looked at Seto and Seto nodded. Seto cleared his throat, turned to her and said:"Things didn't start off so good with you and me. You were afraid of me and I had given you reasons to be. However, everything started getting better. I thought you were the one for me, you were not so sure. But you soon loved me anyway. Now standing here, looking into your eyes, I know one thing, I want to be with you forever, till death do us part. We've been through so much and I've put you through many troubles, and yet, you still stood by me. I now know that without you there to lead me through this, I would be the same cruel person with no one to love. But now I do. I promise to give you my life and all my love. No one can ever take your place in my heart and I want you to know that no matter what life throws at us, it'll never stop me from loving you."
She stood there in tears but looked him in the eye, cleared her throat and said:"There are so many things to say. But to start off, I have always dreamed of a wonderful wedding, but you have given me a fantasy. I've always dreamed of someone to love, but I've found my soul mate. I've dreamed up giving my heart to someone, but I've also give you my soul. We've been through so much Seto. The people I love never believed that you and I were meant for each other. Yet here we are. We would always talk about how we were meant for each other, but Seto, we were born for each other. I always wanted love, but you've shown me how wonderful it feels. When I'm with you, everything flies from my mind. I don't know what I would do without you. I promise to give you my life and all my love. I love you Seto."Seto smiled. The minister smiled too and then turned to Seto and said, "Do you Seto Kaiba take Serenity Wheeler to be your wife to live together after Gods ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon her your hearts deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her as long as you both shall live?" "I do." He said without a second thought.The minister turned to Serenity and said, "Do you Serenity Wheeler take Seto Kaiba to be your husband to live together after Gods ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon him your hearts deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him as long as you both shall live?""I do." Seto looked relieved and then the minister asked for the rings.
A little boy with dark black hair and light brown eyes came down with the rings on a purple velvet pillow. Both took them and the minister said,"What token of your love do you offer? Would you place the rings in my hand?"They both gave them to him and he said,"May these rings be blessed as the symbol of this affectionate unity. These two lives are now joined in one unbroken circle. Wherever they go may they always return to one another. May these two find in each other the love for which all men and women yearn. May they grow in understanding and in compassion. May the home which they establish together be such a place that many will find there a friend. May these rings on their fingers symbolize the touch of the spirit of love in their hearts."He handed her ring to Seto and said,"Seto, in placing this ring on Serenity's finger, repeat after me: Serenity, you are now consecrated to me as my wife from this day forward and I give you this ring as the pledge of my love and as the symbol of our unity and with this ring, I thee wed."Seto repeated,"Serenity, you are now consecrated to me as my wife from this day forward and I give you this ring as the pledge of my love and as the symbol of our unity and with this ring, I thee wed." Then he slipped the ring on her finger. She smiled and he smiled back.Then the minister turned to her and said,"Serenity, in placing this ring on Seto's finger, repeat after me: Seto, you are now consecrated to me as my husband from this day forward and I give you this ring as the pledge of my love and as the symbol of our unity and with this ring, I thee wed."She repeated,"Seto, you are now consecrated to me as my husband from this day forward and I give you this ring as the pledge of my love and as the symbol of our unity and with this ring, I thee wed."Then the minister said,"May you always share with each other the gifts of love be one in heart and in mind may you always create a home together that puts in your hearts love generosity and kindness."In as much as Seto and Serenity have consented together in marriage before this company of friends and family and have pledged their faith and declared their unity by giving and receiving a ring are now joined."You have pronounced yourselves husband and wife but remember to always be each other's best friend. What therefore God has joined together let no man put asunder. And so, by the power vested in me and Almighty God, I now pronounce you man and wife and may your days be good and long upon the earth...You may now kiss the bride."
Seto did just that. He quickly wrapped his arms around her then kissed her. Serenity wrapped her arms around his neck as everyone in the small church stood clapping. Once parted Seto picked Serenity up, left the building with the people following behind and went to the limo that was waiting for them outside. He put her in, got in himself and once the door was closed kissed her again but more roughly then before.
Serenity smiled against his lips moving to sit herself in his lap. She broke the kiss as much as Seto didn't want it to end. "How does it feel being Mrs. Kaiba?" He asked moving a strand of hair out of her face. She smiled, "It's the best feeling in the world." She told him as the limo neared the mansion where the reception would be taking place.
After everyone had left the church to the mansion someone slipped out unnoticed. The person laughed at the sights of all the cars that held the guests. A plan started coming to mind. A plan to destroy everything.
Aw mushy chapter! Well there you have it. I present to you, me readers, Mr. and Mrs. Seto Kaiba! And no I don't plan on doing the reception. Though if you want me to then I guess it will be done by votes.
For one or not. Review and decide. Thanks for reading!
Also who was that person at the end? Anyone have an idea?
