As was expected Tuffnut and Snotlout were making rude remarks as they entered the great hall. They walked with her arm in his elbow up to the main table. She had chosen a blue dress with black leggings. Her hair was held up with the special nadder spike hair pins Hiccup had made her for snoggletog. There were two objects on the table covered in blue and red clothes. Upon reaching the table they turned to look out at their people. They had talked for hours days before the wedding about who would make the morning speech. Astrid stepped a forward an inch, "Berkians and friends that you so much for all your good wishes. We are completely honored to have had you all here with us to celebrate our marriage. These last few years have been hard and we have lost good people. However we are strong when we stand together as one." The room erupted in applause.
She turned looking at Hiccup and saw his beaming face. Then he kissed her, "Think you can handle more of those."
"Don't expect me to do it often. I'm just the arm candy."
"Never. You are so much more." Turning to the crowd he raised his voice, "Now the morning gifts." He pulled the blue sheet off, revealing a new set of armor that matched Stormfly.
"Oh my Gods! Hiccup!" She ran her hand over it, "It's beautiful."
"I'll show you everything it can do while we are away."
"Thank you." She leaned over pulling the red cloth off. "It's not an amazing new suit but I hope you enjoy it." On the table there was a shield painted with her in all her wedding finery.
"Astrid."
"I thought you might like it in your office. As a way to remind you to be home every night, to have dinner with your wife." she smiled at him.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"Let's eat." After the meal was over, they found that their bags were packed and dragons waiting outside the hall. Valka was rubbing Toothless's head and beaming at them.
"Don't worry about anything my dears. Enjoy this time together because soon it'll be very busy."
Mounting their dragons, they waved goodbye to everyone. Flying off to there handful of days a blissfully happy newlywed couple.
That night after the camp had been set up and diner eaten, they were lying on firs. The stars were bright above them. Hiccup was enjoying having his wife cuddled close, half her body was on top of him. He couldn't imagine life much better. Though he wished his father could be around, especially when they decided to have kids.
