Embrace What Life Gives You

Chapter 13: A Day to Remember

The next day at school Videl and Gohan tell Erasa and Sharpner to meat after school. Once the three meat up they head to the park that is not to far from the school. "So what did you two want to talk to us about? Erasa asks.

"Well…we decided that we are going to get married in two weeks." Gohan says, not being able to keep the smile from his face.

Erasa and Sharpner stare at them in surprise at hearing that they are going to get married to soon.

"And I was wondering if you wanted to be my Maid of Honor." Videl says.

Erasa snaps out of her thoughts. "You want me to be your Maid of Honor? I would be honored. Of course I will be."

"And I suppose you want me to be your Best Man Gohan?"

"Sorry Sharpner. But another friend of mine, Piccolo, is going to be my Best Man."

The four continue to talk for a while until it grows late and they return to their homes.

Two weeks pass since the end of Christmas vacation. And in that time Gohan and Videl's wedding has been planned and the arangements made. It was decided that it would be held at the Son home, that Dende would conduct the ceremony, Trunks and Goten would be Ring Bearers, and Marron would be the Flower Girl.

Gohan stands in front of Dende as the wedding begins. He sees his fiancée walking beside her father towards the him. 'She is so beautiful. She looks like an angel in that dress. What did I do to deserve someone like her by my side.' Gohan thinks upon seeing Videl.

When the two reach Dende and Gohan Hercule reluctantly lets go of his daughter's arm as a single tear rolls down his cheak. 'She is so grown up…I don't want to see her get married at such a young age…but I can see that she is truly happy with Gohan and he seems to care for her deeply.' Hercule thinks as he goes and takes a seat.

As the ceremony begins they can here the sound of Chi-Chi and Bulma crying. Many of the others present have unshed tears in their eyes or have tears slowing rolling down their cheaks.

"Gohan and Videl have chosen to write their own wedding vows." Dende says several minutes later before teling Gohan to go ahead.

"Videl…" Gohan starts, tears of joy come to his eyes but do not fall. "…ever since I first met you I new that there was something special about you. Your spirit is like a bright light in the dark, a beacon of hope and warmth to counteract the problems that life can though in ones path. Your smile is enough to brighten event he gloomiest of days. You have given me the love and strength needed to beat seemingly imposible odds and for that I can never repay you. I can only promiss to love and care for you through the rest of our lives, and to never allow any harm to come to you."

"Gohan…" Videl says starts as tears flow freely from her eyes. "…before I met you I didn't know what love was and I thought I no longer needed anyone, that I could live on my own in happiness. But you changed all that. Now I don't know what I would do without you in my life. When others told you that I was cold and uncaring you did not believe them. You saw past my tough exterior and into my heart. You have shown me what love is and for that I am grateful for it is the greatest gift anyone has given me and it is I who can not repay you."

They put the rings on each other's finger. "You may kiss the bride." Dende says.

Gohan gently lifts the veil covering her face as he leans down, Videl tilts her head back and their lips touch in a passionate kiss. Those who were on the verge of sheding tears before can not help but let some slip down their cheeks. Even Piccolo allowed a single tear to fall from his eyes. The only person to not even shed a single tear is Vegeta, although Bulma could tell that her husband was just as touched by the ceremony as everyone else.

The wedding ceremony ends and the reception starts. Goku, Goten, Vegeta, and Trunks instantly run to the buffet table that was set up. Upon seeing the four Saiya-jins diging in the other decided they might as well join them. Soon everyone was eating and talking. Gohan and Videl lost track of how many times they were congradulated by everyone, and they lucked out that when ever one of the Z-Senshi mentioned the baby that their friends from school were out of earshot.

Soon the three little kids and one big kid are demanding cake. Gohan and Videl cut the cake together with Chi-Chi and Bulma taking pictures the entire time. As Videl feeds Gohan a piece of cake, but before he can eat it all she smears it on his face. Gohan just smirks back and does the same thing to her. Soon everyone is laughing.

It seems as though all too soon the reception is over. All the single women gather on a group preparing to catch the bouquet when Videl tosses it. Just as Videl tosses the bouquet Sharpner makes a smart ass comment and Erasa goes over to slap him. As she walks towards him she crosses her arms over her chest, catching the bouquet completely on accident.

Gohan sees this and laughs. "What's so funny?" Videl asks as she turns around. Videl laughs too as she sees the surprised look on her friends face.

"Is there something you and Sharpner want to tell us about?" Gohan asks.

"No there's not." Erasa says while both her face as well as Sharpner's turns red.

Gohan laughs at their reaction.

"Now do yo usee why I liked teasing you about you and Videl?" Krillin asks Gohan.

"Yea…it is kind of funny."

Soon Gohan and Videl say their good-byes before getting into an aircar and flying off into the sunset.

OK…this chapter sucked in my opinion. I also know that he wedding ceremony isn't exactly correct but it has been years since I have been to a wedding, and I didn't want to take the time to look it up.

And no, this is not the end of this fic. But I do not know when the next chapter will be up.

About them leaving in an aircar, well not everyone there knows they can fly and stuff so…
