Alya handed her the bouquet of white and pink roses as they waited for the music to start. Her heart fluttered and she began to panic and become nervous.
"You got this, girl." Alya noticed how she had started to tremble.
"Alya, what if I trip? Or what if I ruin everything? What if I say something stupid? What if I ruin my vows? What if-" Marinette began to stammer and rant in her anxiety.
"M! Look, just relax… you're marrying the man that you've loved for years. You shouldn't be nervous and girl… you know he's seen his share of your disasters." She nudged her with her hip. "And what did he do when they happened?"
"Saved me… every time." Marinette mumbled, feeling stupid.
"Exactly. You think that man at the end of the aisle is gonna let you fail, or fall, or do something stupid?" Alya raised an eyebrow at her.
"No." Marinette looked through her veil at her best friend and giggled. She stood up straight and smiled, determined. "Alright, let's go!"
"That's my best friend!" Alya laughed and the music started to play. "Now, go get him, girl!" She pushed her in the back and Marinette stumbled forward with a small squeak.
Tom wrapped his arm around his daughter's elbow and smiled at her. "You'll be amazing, sweetheart."
"Thank you, papa." Marinette smiled up at him and patted his hand.
She cleared her throat and they began to walk through the trees of Parc Monceau till they reached an old piece of building that was made up of Corinthian pillars. It was off of a beautiful pond that reflected in the sunlight and when she peered up from the ground, her lips parted when she saw him.
His hair was gelled to the side and the gold flecks in his eyes sparked in the sunlight. Her breath caught and her heart pounded harder as her skin flushed. His suit was was black with a sage green tie and pocket square. Nino stood beside him in all black and had his eyes trained on Alya.
Marinette got lost in Adrien's expression. How his eyes widened at the sight of her and how his lips parted for a moment, before they went into a warm smile and his eyes softened.
Tom stopped with Marinette beneath the structure and waited to be asked the age old question.
"Who gives this woman to this man?" The ordained man smiled at the two of them.
"I do." Tom proudly answered and passed her hand over to Adrien's outstretched one. Tom kissed his daughter on the cheek and sat down beside Sabine.
"And now the vows." The ordained man looked over the small crowd of their friends.
Adrien took Marinette's hands in his and smiled at her. He brought her hands to his lips and kissed along her knuckles. "I love every part of you. From your beautiful personality to your charming flaws. Your soul is kind and saved me from Hell. I can't thank you enough. I can't repay you enough. So, I promise to repay you with everything I have until after we parish. I promise to love you, to take care of you, to be there for you… until we are long gone and are walking the Earth together as spirits. I will not give up on you. I will worship the ground you walk on like the Goddess that you are. I will love you even after we leave our bodies, Marinette. I promise to always be by your side. No matter what."
Tears fell from her eyes and he wiped them away with his thumb. Alya passed her a tissue and Marinette quietly thanked her. "Adrien… I have loved you for so long and when I thought you were gone for good? I couldn't handle it. I fell to pieces, but when I found you again? My heart filled with so much love that I couldn't handle it. I knew that I would be there for you, no matter what. And I will be there to pick you up when you fall. I will be there to rise with you when you succeed and I will love you with every ounce of my being once we are gone. I will stand with you and walk the Earth in spirit with you. I promise to take care of you. I promise to bring your spirits up when you are down. I promise to help you and cherish you… even past death. I love you and will for all of eternity. You deserve to be loved and I will make sure that you never feel inadequate or like you don't deserve such things. Because you are the most amazing man that I have ever met and I will spend my life… proving it to you." She smiled up at him and watched tears fall down his flushed cheeks. "Don't cry." She whispered to him and he chuckled as she brushed his tears away.
"You may kiss the bride." The man called out and Adrien lifted her veil over her head.
He touched her cheek and stepped closer towards her as he brought his lips down to hers. Adrien barely brushed his lips against hers and a spark ignited between them. Marinette sighed as his lips pressed against hers.
She giggled as he tipped her back into the kiss and pulled her back up. They turned to their friends with their fingers intertwined.
"I now pronounce to you… for the first time… Monsieur and Madame Adrien Bordeaux!" The man proudly smiled.
Adrien had changed his last name recently to hide from his father. He didn't want to be found anymore. He wanted to forget everything and leave it behind him.
They walked between the chairs and through the garden. Adrien chuckled and picked her up into his arms as they got out of sight from the guests.
"What are you doing?" Marinette squeaked and giggled as he spun her around.
"Enjoying my wife." Adrien winked at her and carried her off to a secluded area.
"But we have to get to the place where the reception is. We'll be late and-" Marinette was interrupted when he pressed her against a tall wall of greenery and captured her lips with his own.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
They walked in late to their own reception, but Marinette couldn't seem to care. She was too busy giggling at something Adrien was saying to her.
Feel My Love by Glenn Travis began to play and Adrien walked her out to the dance floor beneath the millions of string lights and hanging white flowers. He spun her out with a warm smile and brought her back into his arms. He put his hand on her waist and her hand in his. She giggled as he spun them around the dance floor to the song. He held her by the waist and she leaned back as he spun her and then yanked her back up. Adrien took her hand back into his and swayed their hips, before he did a simple four step maneuver. He then spun her and brought her back toward himself. He let her hand go and she draped her arms around his neck.
"I love you." Marinette sighed as she laid her head down on his chest.
He kissed the top of her head and swayed them as he whispered, "I love you too."
"So, where should we live?" Marinette giggled and played with his soft hair at the nape of his neck.
"Well… I was thinking about moving to a personal island. I found one with a nice house on it." Adrien smirked down at her and her lips parted.
"You what?" She was shocked that he had already found a place.
"I mean you still need to sign your name on the offer. That is… if you're interested once you see it. I think it will whisk you off your paws though." Adrien winked at her and she giggled.
"How many bedrooms and bathrooms, minou?" Marinette looked up at him and he twirled her around and brought her back to him.
"Well… let's see… six bedrooms… and three baths… I believe. Surrounded by the ocean. It has a boat that you can take inland and a personal plane that I can fly." Adrien smiled down at her and watched her eyes widen.
"You fly?" She was surprised by that fact.
"I do a lot of things that you may or may not know yet, love bug." Adrien chuckled at her and she shoved him lightly in the chest. "Hey, you're gonna knock me off balance, Bugaboo."
Marinette giggled and clutched onto him again. "Mangy alley cat."
"Silly bug." Adrien laughed harder and pulled her closer to his body as he swayed them around. "We can see it tomorrow, if you'd like."
"I'd love that." Marinette sighed and they slowed down as the song came to an end.
Nino and Alya danced over to them and Nino stole Marinette from him. Adrien chuckled as Alya began to dance with him.
"You really are one lucky man you know that, Agreste?" Alya winked at him and he smirked.
"It's Bordeaux now, Alya. But I know. I'm extremely lucky that she's chosen me." Adrien glanced over at a giggling Marinette being spun around by Nino.
"So, what's the plan?" Alya smiled at him and let him lead her around the dance floor.
"Well… tomorrow I'm going to take her to the house on the island. She hasn't seen it yet. So, I want to make sure that it is something she really loves." Adrien got distracted by Marinette again as her laughter took him under it's waves.
She had raised her hands in the air as Nino had begun to breakdance. "Woo… GO NINO!" She giggled and he leapt up and pulled her into a dance again.
"Because I know she has sacrificed so much for me… I just want to do something that makes her happy." Adrien brought his attention back to Alya.
"You really love her don't you?" She warmly smiled up at Adrien as he danced her around.
"I really do. I'd give my life for that silly woman." Adrien chuckled and turned his attention back to Marinette again.
Marinette bit her lip as she peered back at him, holding Nino's hand and swishing the skirt of her dress with the other as they quick stepped to the beat of the song.
"I'd go to the end of the Universe for her." Adrien's cheeks flushed as Marinette was spun back into Nino's embrace.
Adrien danced Alya over to Nino and Marinette. Nino spun Marinette out and Adrien grabbed her hand, surprising her as he pulled her against his body. She gasped and looked up at her husband with parted lips as he ground his hips against her. Her eyelashes lowered as heat pooled between her thighs, while the music changed. Alya shook her head with a laugh as Nino pulled her into a dance.
Marinette spun in Adrien's embrace and he smirked down at her as he caught her back against his chest. She swayed her hips with his to the beat.
Adrien bent down and whispered the song into her ear, "Oh darling of mine… please don't let go… so tell me you feel this. Tell me you know. Oh darling of mine…"
Marinette gasped as he kissed her ear and spun her around in his arms, making her straddle his thigh. She swayed her hips with him to the beat as he brushed her hair from her face. He leaned forward and captured her lips with his own in a heated kiss. She broke the kiss and giggled, letting him go and spinning out away from him with her hands in the air. He chuckled and watched her saunter up to him with swaying hips. He did a come hither motion with his index finger. He lowered his eyes into a dangerous expression and she ran at him.
Adrien caught her and lifted her above his head and spun her around; before, he slowly lowered her down his body. She wrapped her arms around his neck and looked at him with a sultry expression.
"You're dangerous. You know that, Monsieur Bordeaux?" Marinette giggled and he smirked at her.
"So, they tell me." Adrien whispered into her ear and flicked her earlobe with his tongue. "Are you ready to go and see that house?"
"Whenever you are." Marinette smiled up at him and he took her hand and lead her to the doors.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Marinette found herself in front of a massive house on an island. It was white and a two story. The front double doors were blue and the windows had blue shutters. It was an intricate house with beautiful molding that created a unique vintage look. Saying she was in love would be an understatement.
Tears began to fall from her eyes and Adrien pulled her against him. "You haven't even seen the inside, baby."
"I know. It's just- It's so beautiful." Marinette wiped her eyes and Adrien lead her inside.
Inside was even more beautiful. She couldn't handle it from the vintage chic appeal to the double ovens in the kitchen. Everything had been updated and she loved every detail.
"When I saw it… I thought of you." Adrien warmly smiled as she took in the kitchen and the fireplace. "I saw you all over this house. From knitting in front of the fire to making fresh baked cookies in the ovens."
Marinette ran her hand along the white marbled top kitchen island with a warm smile. "What about kids? Three of them. Two boys and one girl, running around your feet. Maybe… a hamster… or a dog…" Marinette sauntered over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "A kitty?"
"No cats." Plagg argued, throwing a piece of camembert into his mouth.
"Oh Plagg… Let them dream." Tikki poked him in the chest and Marinette giggled at the two kwamis.
"So? What do you think, mister?" Marinette flirted with Adrien and played with the collar on his white shirt.
"Well… I…" Adrien chuckled as she smiled up at him with her bottom lip between her teeth.
"So… what do we think? Do you love it or what?" The realtor interrupted them with a warm smile and Plagg and Tikki hid. "Sorry. Would you like me to come back at a better time?"
"No, no it's okay. Thank you for letting me see this place." Marinette stepped away from Adrien and put her hands into the back of her jeans. "I love it. Where do I sign?"
"I told you she'd love it." Adrien smiled at the realtor.
"I have the paperwork with me. Ready to make an offer and start the process on owning this place? You're a cash offer so it should be accepted pretty easily." The realtor smiled at them and passed Marinette her pen.
She smiled and signed her name on the line that was blank.
"Great! Now, we wait." The realtor smiled at them and walked them out of the property.
Adrien stood beside Marinette on the boat as she looked over the water.
Adrien took her hand in his and smiled at her. "I would love to have three kids with you and a hamster and a dog. Maybe, even a kitty. Honestly, I would love to do anything as long as you were happy."
Marinette looked over and up at him. "You mean it?"
"Yes, Marinette. I do. You've sacrificed so much for me. I want you to be happy. I know I haven't made anything easy for you and I want to be the best I can be. If not for you then for me too." Adrien kissed her knuckles with his soft lips and she blushed. "Plus, I always wanted a hamster and… I always wanted to live on an island… with you."
Marinette giggled and wrapped her arms around her shoulders. "I would hope it was with me and not Chloe or Lila."
"You wound me, m'lady. To think that either of those two would be good enough for me and better than you." Adrien chuckled and she burst into laughter.
"Well… there was a time when I thought they were." She played with her hoodie strings.
Adrien sighed and leaned down to rest his chin on her shoulder. "NO ONE has ever gotten close to Marinette Dupain-Cheng." He kissed her cheek. "You were, and are, my light in the darkness."
Marinette blushed and sighed into his embrace as they watched the ocean pass them by.
