A/N

I want to say thanks to Blufox03 for helping me come up with the idea for this wedding and so this chapter never would have been the way it was if it wasn't for you. Thank you so much for helping! Hope everybody enjoys.

Valkyrie stared at herself in the mirror as she tried to attempt to adjust her wedding dress by herself, but she soon gave up. She was wearing a pale off white dress since no matter how much she begged Skulduggery she couldn't wear a black wedding dress. She didn't care if it was morbid but he didn't allow it so it left her wearing this... Thing. It was overall a very nice dress and the only thing Valkyrie hated about it was that it wasn't black. Blue diamonds wrapped around her waist and the dress then flowed to the floor in a natural way that made fit her body shape just right. Instead of having straps or short puffed sleeves, they went down to her wrist and were made of very intricate pale grey lace. The dress also had the same lace rim around the v- neck rim and to top it all off, Instead of a traditional veil she chose to wear a white Fedora with black ribbon tied around the base. All in all the whole thing looked perfect on her but she still wanted her black wedding dress

As she finished fussing with the dress there was a knock on the door and Ghastly came in to the room. He was wearing a Dark Navy Blue suit with a pitch-black bow tie. After all bow ties were cool. He smiled at her as she turned to face him and they hugged each other. Their friendship had grown to be almost as close as when he was alive in her dimension. As they parted he stepped back and looked her up and down.

"You look absolutely stunning. I won't be surprised if Skulduggery doesn't just drop dead on the alter when he first catches sight of you." He says.

"I highly doubt that. He'll probably just feint." Valkyrie says grinning at him. They both double over in laughter.

Once they had both calmed down Ghastly looked at her again with the pride of a father glistening through. The same fatherly look he gave her when she was twelve and he had advised her to leave their world and go home to her life, The same look he had gave her when she was lying on the medical bed in the sanctuary and in the care of the greedy no good son of a bitch Nye. And the same look he had given her on their last mission as the dead men before him and Anton had died at the hands of Erskine.

Valkyrie started to tear up even though she fought the tears they started there slow decent down her cheeks. Ghastly who didn't know the actual reason stepped toward her and pulled her against him holding her in his strong arms whispering words of kindness as she let it go. Every thing she had been holding back since years before came out at the one time. And even though she would never admit it. She was glad that ghastly was the one there and not her husband to be.

After a few minutes Valkyrie calmed down and wiped her eyes. Luckily not smudging her black eyeliner as she did so. Ghastly waited for her at the door of Skulduggery's cottage and she was soon taking his arm and they started their slow march around the house to the field where Skulduggery awaited her. Her bridesmaid, Jocelyn, had gone a few minutes before with Skulduggery's best man, Dexter.

The rest of the dead men along with Skulduggery's older brother were the guests. His parents wanted to come but because of recent events that caused Blake, Skulduggery's father, to get hurt and so they couldn't attend unfortunately. Even so Valkyrie was at least happy to have the dead men there even if they weren't her dead men.

Valkyrie saw Skulduggery gasp when he saw them start to come down the white lane that had been lain down on the bright green grass to be the aisle. Everybody turned as she and ghastly almost reached the alter. Valkyrie saw Jocelyn's eyes tear up when she saw Valkyrie and she smiled sadly. It was hard enough knowing that she wasn't going to make it but she couldn't imagine being in Jocelyn's shoes having to watch it happen and also try to save the child too.

Erskine who was the priest started talking as they stopped. "Do you Ghastly Bespoke give this young woman's hand in marriage to Skulduggery Pleasant?" he says. Ghastly smiles at me warmly and I give my hand to Skulduggery as I step forward to stand in front of him. What I hadn't known from the distance was that Skulduggery was crying. It hurt me to see him cry but I knew they were for a good reason. At least they weren't the ones that were soon to come.

Ghastly who had said yes after letting go of my arm took his seat in the front row of white benches and then Erskine was starting the ceremony.

"We are gathered here today to celebrate one of life's greatest moments, and to cherish the words which shall unite Skulduggery Pleasant and Elizabeth Cain in marriage. " Valkyrie and Skulduggery smiled at each other

"Marriage is the promise between two people who love each other, and who trust in that love, who honor each other as individuals, and who choose to spend the rest of their lives together.

"This ceremony will not create a relationship between you. It's a symbol of how far you have come these past few years or months in your case." Everybody laughed at this.

"It is a symbol of the promises you will make to each other to continue growing stronger as individuals and as partners. No matter what challenges you face, you now face them together, and no matter how much you succeed, you now succeed together. The love between you joins you now as one. The bride and groom now have a few words to add to this."

Skulduggery and Valkyrie looked at each other and there was nothing but love and adoration in both of their glistening eyes. Skulduggery says his Vows first. Allways the one to win.

"I choose you, be no other than yourself, loving what I know of you since obviously it's not that much," Valkyrie laughed and took her right hand away from his hold for a second to wipe the tears that were now freely falling down her cheeks.

"Trusting who you will become. I will respect and honor you always and in all ways. With you I pledge to repair one small piece of the world. I take you to be my spouse, to have and to hold, in tears and laughter, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, from this day forward, in this world and the next. " Skulduggery took the golden ring from Dexter and slowly slid it on her ring finger while they both cried tears of joy at this it was now Valkyries turn. She calmed herself down and then started saying her vows.

" I love you enough to fight for you. Compromise for you, and sacrifice myself for you if need be. Enough to miss you incredibly when we're apart, no matter what length of time it's for and regardless of the distance, Enough to believe in our relationship, to stand by it through the worst of times, to have faith in our strength as a couple and to never give up on us. Enough to spend the rest of my life with you, be ther for you when you need or want me, and never, ever want to leave you or live without you. I love you this much." She gently took the gold and silver band from Dexter and slid it on Skulduggery's ring finger that, once the ring was on, started kissing her. Their mouth mashing against each other's and nothing but love and passion in the action, She heard Erskine say. "I now pronounce you husband and wife and I would say you could kiss the bride but it looks like you beat me to it Skulduggery." Skulduggery who couldn't help smiling parted from her but still held her tightly to him and if it was up to her she would never let him go.

"You know me Erskine, I was always the fastest." For Erskine's part he just smiled.

The new couple turned toward their few guest and the next thing Valkyrie knew she was in Skulduggery's arm that was walking down the aisle to everybody's cheers. Once they reached the end he sat her down and waited why she went up stairs to get dressed into something more comfortable then the wedding dress.

When she came back down she found Skulduggery talking with Dexter and Saracen and she decided it best to let him chat so she went to enjoy the punch.

She was just done pouring some into her cup when someone wrapped their arms around her. She turned to stare into Skulduggery's crystal blue eyes and smiled. "What do you say after the reception is over we go up to bed and enjoy ourselves? Hmm?"

Valkyrie laughed then agreed that once the guests were all long gone they would celebrate there wedding in their own way.

The reception lasted tell nightfall and after thanking all the guest and seeing them off Valkyrie was being dragged to their bedroom and all she could think was this was going to be one of the best nights of her life with the most amazing husband in the world. All she hoped was that the camera didn't follow.
