The Wedding
1 year later . . .
Raimundo's POV
"Are you sure I look ok?" I questioned nervously looking at the mirror
"For the million times yes!" Omi shouted.
"You really clean yourself well partner." Clay said tipping his hat.
"Come on give me some credit. It's my wedding day!" I exclaimed.
They both laughed and I looked at the mirror one last time. I was all dressed and ready to go, but was I nervous as hell. After today I would be a married man which I never thought I'd be. However, since it's her . . . I think I can make in exception. I looked at the clock and realized what time it was. I saw Omi and Clay ready to go and I headed out with them. Once we got outside the temple grounds where the tree on top of the hill was I could see all friends and family waiting for us. I could even see Master Fung and Dojo.
Once we made it to the top I looked to Master Fung and bowed at him in respect. Master Fung today not only was our master, but our priest. Once I stood in position I looked down at the Temple and saw the most amazing view up here. I looked to my friends and then waited patiently for my soon to be wife.
Kimiko's POV
"You look so beautiful Kimiko!" Keiko shrieked.
"You think so?" I questioned looking at the mirror.
"Of course! Once he sees you he'll never want to let you go!"
I began to blush at her last comment and continued looking at the mirror. Here I was with my hair half up and half down in a big white dress with red roses in my hand and I couldn't help but feel . . . nervous. I mean it's my wedding day today and I couldn't be happier, yet I just feel so much anxiety inside me. Suddenly I looked at the clock and knew it was time for me to head out. I took deep breaths as I walked to the temple court yard and then suddenly I stopped.
"Kimiko?" Keiko questioned.
"I'll be right there, just go on without me." I said.
At first Keiko was hesitant, but then reluctantly gave in and went on a head of me. I quickly dashed to the Shen Gong Wu vault and found the Treasure of the Blind's Swordsmen. I quickly summoned him.
"I have a request Blind's Swordsman . . ." I said.
Raimundo's POV
I stood here now waiting for Kimiko for what seemed like forever, but still I waited patiently for her despite my legs being tired. Suddenly I began to hear the music begin play and I straighten myself up and took a deep breath. This is it . . .
Kimiko's POV
I began to slowly, but steadily walked up the hill where everyone was waiting. I tried to pace myself and not trip and fall. I felt my heart beating so hard I thought it would burst. I was so nervous, but then once I came into clear view of everyone I removed my eyes from the ground and looked into the eyes of my soon to be husband. Suddenly I felt my heart skip a beat. I felt my whole world stop and that everything was at a pause for this moment. I saw the bright smile on his face that I loved so much.
It felt like it was just me and him and no one else in the world right now. As I gazed into his green eyes as he stared into mine and I felt myself blush and smile at him. Once I made it next to him we both smiled at each other and turned our attention to the priest which was Master Fung.
"Thank you all for coming on this glorious day. We are gathered here today to see these two be wed. Kimiko and Raimundo have decided that they will exchange rings and give each other their vows." Master Fung said.
Master Fung gestured toward Raimundo to go first and he turned to both Clay and Omi for the ring. He couldn't choose which one to be the best man so he chose both. Clay handed the ring to Omi and then Omi handed it to Rai. Rai took my left hand and placed the ring on my ring finger and looked back up to me with a smile across his face.
"Kimiko, words can't describe how much you mean to me. You've been my best friend, teammate, and now lover. We've been through a lot over these years together and I can honestly say that you're defiantly someone I wouldn't want to mess with (I heard everyone begin to laugh including me). There were the good times and the bad times. Still within those years we made a lot of memories together and without even realizing it back then, I had begun to fall in love with you. You know my past and back then I would have never thought to have fallen in love, until I met you. You mended my once broken wing and changed me for the better. I can't ever thank you enough for this extraordinary life you've given me. I love you Kimiko and I vow to always be by your side through whatever comes our way. I will always and forever be yours no matter what. You're my everything," Raimundo vowed bringing tears to my eyes, but I quickly wiped them away.
I smiled at him as he smiled back at me and then it was my turn. I gave the flowers in my hand to Keiko who gave me the ring in return and I took Rai's left hand and placed the ring on his ring finger. I looked at him and gave him a warm smile trying not to cry.
"Rai, I must be luckiest girl in the world because I get to marry my best friend, leader, and my one and only true love. You've always been by my side no matter what. When I thought I had lost you, you came right back to me. So I just want to thank you for saving me, for caring for me, and for always loving me. My feelings for you grow stronger and stronger as each day passes. You're my everything and whatever problems we may face in the future as long as you're with me, everything will be ok. I will always and forever be yours. You hold the key to my heart and as long as you have that key I'm forever yours. I love you Raimundo Pedrosa more than you will ever know . . ." I vowed and then Raimundo grabbed both my hands smiling at me as Master Fung continued.
"Do you Raimundo Pedrosa take Kimiko Tohomiko to be your lawful wedded wife, in sickness or in health, for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse, till death do you part?" Master Fung spoke.
"I do," Rai vowed grinning at me.
"Do you Kimiko Tohomiko take Raimundo Pedrosa to be your lawful wedded husband, in sickness or in health, for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse, till death do you part?" Master Fung continued.
"I do," I vowed grinning back at Rai as we stared into each other's eyes.
"Then by the power vested in me I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride." Master Fung said.
Without a second to spare he pulled me into his arms and dipped me, putting one hand behind my head and kissing me full on the lips. I admit I was totally shocked, but then I kissed him back. This wasn't one of our passionate kisses . . . no . . . it was much more . . . It was a symbol of our vow to always be together forever. Once our lips parted he pulled me back up and we both began to laugh as everyone cheered for us. I will always treasure this moment and never forget it . . . not ever . . .
Raimundo's POV
Kimiko and I were now at our reception with all our family and friends. We had such a spectacular day, one that I would never forget. I got to see my true love beam with joy which was more than enough to make me happy. I led her to the dance floor and we began to dance under the beautiful stars on the temple court yard where our reception was. As we danced I felt her head leaning on my chest with our hands entwined resting on my heart.
"My beautiful bride . . ." I whispered sweetly to her as she looked up to me and smiled.
"So how's being a married man?" Kimiko smiled giving a small laugh.
"Not too bad, but it's sad that I'll be leaving a trail of broken hearts behind me now that I'm taken." I replied and she raised one eye brow at me.
"That's right and don't you dare forget that, or else I'll have to remind you why you're married to me in the first place."
"And that would be?"
She looked up at me with those beautiful eyes and kissed me so sweetly that when she pulled away, I carved for more.
"I'm definitely never leaving!" I exclaimed and she laughed.
"I love you Raimundo," She said.
"I love you too Kimiko,"
All I could hear was the music play in the background and it felt like we were in our own little world. We stared into each other's eyes as we continued to dance. She was so beautiful . . . I loved everything about her and there's not one thing I would change . . . not ever . . . As our faces drew closer our lips met and I felt like I was melting inside. The kiss was tender one full of deep meaning. I wanted this kiss to last forever, but I knew this wouldn't be our last kiss. This was just one of the many kisses we would share. Together now and forever . . .
