Wow so long time no writing huh? I'm finally updating it seems like my writer's block is finally gone… I did right some really cute one shots though so ya'll should look at those too!
So I'm totally skipping the whole trip to Carmine's Tower… I think that was what was causing my problems so lets just say that they were taking a little tour of some of the villages and towns around Corus…I'll go back and change that later!
Disclaimer: Still not mine…still praying and hoping….
Wedding Day part I
Dom and Kel had had a fantastic little vacation and they had learned many things about the people of Tortall and had found some really interesting places along the way. However both were glad to be back in Corus and at the palace. The minute Kel arrived she was whisked away by Yuki and Lalassa for another endless round of last minute dress fittings and making sure that all the final touches were put on the way she wanted so that in two days her wedding would be perfect.
Dom had been cornered by Neal on his way back to his rooms and was then forced to spend his next two days of bachelordom with all the guys.
Kel woke up on the day of the wedding and just couldn't believe how far she and Dom had finally come, to be getting married. Kel was also nervous not just for praying to not trip as she walked down the aisle but also for the evening that would follow the first night she and Dom would ever sleep together.
Kel was sure that most of the court had assumed that they had already slept together, but truth be told, they hadn't. Dom had always been very respectful because he never pressured her, and even during the trip they had been so worn out, that it seems they never really had had time.
Dom's morning was both a blessing and a curse, first he had a splitting headache from getting drunk the night before and then he woke up to find Neal there with a healing tea, but he also had to listen to him give a lecture.
Kel was pacing up and down in her rooms waiting for Lalassa to come with the dress and for Yuki to do her hair and make-up. Kel when she got back had been asked by Yuki, who was going to walk her down the aisle, and Kel had said she didn't know. Yuki suggested one of her brother's, or Neal. But Kel had an idea and knew who she wanted to ask, she smiled as she thought about how she had decided and the shocked look on his face...
********************************************************************************************
"Who is walking you down the aisle Kel?"
"I don't know, I hadn't really thought about it" Kel said looking slightly perplexed
"Well, you could have one of your brothers, or how about Neal?" Yuki suggested with pursed lips
"Yuki, I have the perfect person, don't worry about it, you will see who it is on the wedding day." Kel said with a small smile, as she went to go find her stand in father.
Kel walked along the hall where his rooms lay, she felt a little silly asking him to walk her down the aisle. But she knew that she meant a lot to him, and she hoped that he knew how much he meant to her also So she took a deep breath knocked on the door and smiled as it opened to the exact man she wanted to see.
*******************************************************************************************************
Kel thought that one might get used to getting your hair and makeup done everyday, if they never pulled your hair, or made you look this way and that as they tried to line her eyes to make them stand out.
Kel was standing on a stool looking into the mirror at herself in her dress and smiled. She had never looked so elegant before. Her hair was twisted up in the back of her head, and had small diamond pins that held it up Her veil was secured on by a comb that held blue sapphires, which was a wedding present from Dom.
Her dress was cream colored, with little hints of the blue from her shield, for her home fief of Mindelan. It flattered her figure showing her curves of, and it managed to make her look like the lines it showed off were never the lines of someone who had once been called a cow.
Kel had told Lalassa that this was her finest dress yet, and gave her a big hug and thanked her for doing this.
Yuki was dressed in the same Mindelan blue, and her dress had a slightly Yamani flair to it, with a wide belt that had a pattern embroidered into it.
As the second bell after noon rang Kel knew it was time for them to be heading to chapel, as if on cue a knock came on the door and Kel's escort walked in to escort her to be married.
The wedding party walked in silence, Kel following behind Yuki and then her niece Amila who was her flower girl. As the lined up right outside the chapel Kel looked through the crack in the door and looked to the altar where she saw Dom smiling and looking very handsome and just beside him she saw Neal, standing there whispering quietly to Dom.
Dom was a nervous wreck, he was standing in front of all of his family and friends plus Kel's and all he could think about was Kel deciding not to marry him, he had even asked Neal to go make sure she was coming.
To his credit Neal didn't laugh, but he told Dom that she had asked someone to escort her down the aisle so she must be coming. Dom nodded and started pacing,
"Dom, you are going to wear the floor out" Neal said "Just stand still and smile and stop worrying Kel loves you, you idiot, so grow up and calm down."
Dom nodded and looked up to see the doors open, and the music start as Yuki slowly glided down the aisle looking very pretty and graceful.
Then the little flower girl walked down the aisle the picture of innocence as she received many awes from the people watching. The music changed, intensifying as both doors opened and then a hush fell on the crowd as the took in the sight of Lady Knight Keladry of Mindelan on her wedding day.
