Shadow and Amy's wedding day had finally arrived. Amy was up early that morning getting herself ready. She was going to the salon to get her hair done then Rouge would be coming over to do her makeup. She wondered what Shadow would be doing today...
Shadow got up early that morning as well. He had an important errand to run that morning then he had to come back to his apartment, put on his suit, and go to the park where they would have the wedding. They had taken so many walks there so they decided it would be the perfect place to get married.
He took a look around his apartment. A lot of his stuff was packed up into boxes. He would be staying here and finishing out his rent for the rest of the week and then he would move into Amy's house. After he moved in they would go on their honeymoon and then they had to go back to work.
Shadow finished getting ready and went to the store to pick up some artificial flowers then headed over to the graveyard and placed them on Maria's headstone. He wished she could be here today.
Meanwhile Amy had finished getting her hair done and had just gotten home to find that Rouge was already there.
"I figured I'd better show up early." She said
"Good idea I don't want to be late. Vanilla and Cream will be coming over here pretty soon."
The two girls headed up to Amy's room. Amy sat down in front of her vanity dresser and Rouge began applying her makeup.
"So are you excited?" Rouge asked
"Absolutely I can't wait."
"You've done a good job on the house."
"Thanks Shadow and I worked really hard on ti."
Rouge laughed "I can't honestly imagine Shadow redecorating a house!"
"I couldn't either at first but he doesn't seem to mind it too much. He liked the way it turned out too."
"I didn't think he cared about things like that."
"I didn't either but he cares about a lot more than you think."
"All finished!" Rouge exclaimed "What do you think?"
"You did a great job I love it! Thank you Rouge!"
Just then the doorbell rang
"Vanilla and Cream are already here!" Amy gasped
"I'll go get the door. You go get your dress on."
Rouge left the room and Amy pulled her wedding dress out of the closet. She quickly put it on and took a quick look at herself before heading to the living room.
"Amy you look gorgeous!" Vanilla exclaimed as Amy walked down the stairs.
Amy blushed "Thank you Vanilla. All of you look great."
Cream and Rouge were wearing matching pink bridesmaid dresses. Vanilla was wearing a dark pink suit.
"Is everything ready?" Vanilla asked.
Amy nodded "Everything it all set up in the park. We'll have the wedding and reception there and the cake is going to be delivered and I'm all ready to go. I got my hair done, Rouge did my make up, I've got my dress on, and I have all my accessories Shadow bought me a new necklace with a blue pendant. So that covers both something new and something blue. For something old I'm wearing one of my old bracelets and Rouge let me borrow a pair of long gloves."
Vanilla looked up at the clock "It's almost time to go. Are you ready Amy?
"Yep" Amy replied "Like I said everything is in order."
"No I meant are you really ready to get married?"
"Yes" Amy answered without hesitation. "I know things were really difficult at first but I'm so happy now . I can hardly wait for us to start our lives together."
"I wish you both the best Amy." Vanilla replied "Now we had better get going."
Later Shadow stood at the end of the altar waiting for his bride. He double checked his pocket to make sure he had the wedding rings and sighed with relief when he felt the velvet box. Suddenly the wedding music began to play and the bridesmaids began to walk down the aisle. Then all of the guests stood up as Amy proceeded to walk down the aisle soon after.
Shadow smiled at her and she smiled back. Amy reached the altar and the couple exchanged vows and rings. After their kiss Shadow picked Amy up and carried her to the reception area which was only a few feet away.
At the reception Shadow and Amy posed for pictures and socialized with the guests although Amy did most of the talking because Shadow wasn't very sociable. Later the two cut the cake and opened presents.
Finally the sun began to set and it was time to go home. Knuckles was going to pick up the presents and drop them off in Amy's garage. Shadow and Amy would go through them later. The last of the guests had left and everything had been put away so Shadow took Amy's hand and warped her to her house which would soon be theirs. Then he would warp himself back to his apartment.
"Today was wonderful." Amy sighed
"Yes it was." He normally didn't like parties but this was special and he had a good time.
"I love you Shadow"
"I love you too Amy" he kissed her goodnight and warped away.
