Guys, this could very well be the last chapter…

Well, I could make an epilogue…

I might do that that would work. Like harry potter, but not magic, and no trains, and not nearly as awesome.

Unless you people waaaant me to continue writing, I guess I could too. Then again, I have like four different ideas for other stories.

Fyi, there is a little more…'action' in this one, but being a teenager that shouldn't know what action is, I'm not going to write most of it! Heck, barely any of it.

And Darius, I quite like this chapter.

Anyway, it is time for this wedding story guys! Wedding time, Yay!


It was hot. Summer above the clouds normally was very hot. Maybe that's why they held the wedding ceremonies at night in Skyloft, or maybe because it just worked better at night, more mystical, more entrancing at night. But when they did have the ceremony at night, it wasn't really night, but more extremely early morning. All the ceremonies for weddings were like this. It all worked with the timing of the different actions that were partaken in during the ceremony.

Link stood there, in the plaza, waiting. He had a lit candle in his hand, and his green Knight outfit was now trimmed with gold and had a fancy tan cape cascading down is shoulders. His hat had gotten some fancy gold structure where it connected to his head. His pants were different, but only because they were more new than his other pair: no rips, no stains. His boots, instead of being brown, were black, gold designs were running down the seams of them He didn't really care for all the different and fancy clothes, but all Knights got to wear it when they were getting married. The only thing that would change from Knight to Knight was the overall color of the uniform, depending on the year they graduated. But the one thing he did like about all the things he had on was the single indigo feather running longer than his actual hair.

But Zelda had never seen his uniform like this before, and she wouldn't for about another five minutes. Link, vise versa, has no idea what Zelda was wearing. The husband and wife were not allowed to see each other the week before the wedding, for good luck and not to jinx the ceremony.

People were sitting in fine class chairs, holding lit candles of their own, talking among themselves. Some commenting on how the stars were slowly going away, while others were trying to get Link's attention. Link didn't hear them anyway; he was too busy trying to remember what he was supposed to say later in the ceremony. The only thing that caught his attention were the five empty chairs amidst the crowd, reserved for Gaepora, and what would have been Link's parents, Zelda's mom, and Spence. He gave a sad smile at the thought, and then he did a double take when his eyes landed on Groose. He was wearing bright red, which was extremely obvious in the crowd of people wearing white.

Groose saw that Link was starring at him, and he started waving. Link gave a sly and cautious wave back, until Groose returned to taking to Pipit. On the other side of Pipit was Karane, then Jacobi was on Karane's lap, but she still had a seat, then it was Horwell, and Fledge: all sitting on the first row. The further the rows went back, the fewer Link knew the people. Heck, some of the people in the very back, Link had only seen walking around in Skyloft. Some he had never even seen before. Then again, the wedding of Skyloft's two heroes must be a pretty big deal. He kept looking into the crowd and didn't even notice Owlan walking up the isle next to Link.

"Are you ready?" Owlan said, looking towards Link's face, which was turned towards the crowd. Link snapped his head back towards Owlan with his eyes wide from surprise and thought for a while.

Cracking a smile he replied.

"Owlan, I'll never be ready for anything that Zelda dishes out. But I will try my very best to be with her throughout all the dishes. Entrees, main course, dessert, all of them." Owlan smiled back to Link.

"That's the kind of answer I wanted to hear." He said, and turned to his spot a little farther up from Link, and bowed his head towards everyone. Suddenly, the world seemed quiet, lifeless; the only thing you could hear was the sound of breathing created by every one in the crowd. The only thing that broke the silence was a Loftwing, cawing in the distance.

The rows of candles made Zelda seem even more beautiful than humanly possible. Her dress was like her goddess dress, except it draped over her shoulders, and didn't have sleeves after the bird design on the collar. The dress gathered at the left of her hip then completely flowed down. The locks of hair that normally hung in front of her shoulders were pinned back behind her head, restricting the waves in her hair until they got passed the blockade of strands. Her bangs still in the same spot they always were. The crimson feather was accented by the candle fire all around her.

She walked slowly, her arm around her fathers as he escorted her down the isle. They seemed to be making small talk. Link kept eying her, watching as her dress swayed back and forth between each step, her hair doing the same. She occasionally laughed while talking to her father and Link seemed to get hotter than before. More hot, more scared, more nervous. Nervous that he would mess up, nervous that the life he would give her wasn't enough, nervous that he would do something he would never live down, and Zelda would never want anything to do with him ever again.

But those thoughts washed away when he saw Gaepora kiss her forehead, and let her go. He trusted that Link was fully able to provide for his daughter, to give her the life that she had dreamed of, to make her happy. He knew that Link could do that, he believed in him, that's why he let her go so easily from her side, so freely. Link positioned himself more sturdy and straight-forward, as Zelda took her walk towards him, Gaepora walking to his seat. She walked up next to Link. The candle in her hands glowed brighter than Link's was, but he didn't care. She was radiant, she was stunning, and she was every connotation that meant gorgeous. Every synonym for fantastic, she was it. Her bright blue eyes whispered 'I missed you' as Link stared into them. His responded 'so did I' and she got the message, and turned to face Owlan, to which Link quickly did the same.

"We are here this early summer morning, the season of growth and energy, to unit two souls that seem to have been fated themselves, by the goddess."

Link noticed how everything was getting darker all around them. Everyone was putting their candles out, omit Owlan. Link and Zelda did the same, blowing each others candle out.

Owlan opened an ancient-looking book, and started to read.

"For the numbered days we have on this land, these two have devoted the rest of their lives for one another, though it may be short lived. Between these two, no object is to become between them, no conflict will dissolve their love for each other, and no person will come between them in the name of better spirits."

At this time, Owlan would have read a paragraph about the rings, and how they were symbolize their bond, but Zelda didn't want to have rings. To quote her 'I don't need a stupid ring to tell me who I love, to show other people my love for another, they should be able to tell just from my atmosphere.' So, instead of saying it, Owlan skipped the paragraph.

"The feather of the corresponding Loftwings of each other, laced in their hair, signifies the bonds not just between the person, but the other half of the person as well. For no human is complete without their Loftwing. Now, the two lovers will exchange their vows."

Zelda went first.

"Link, this whole thing seems like a dream. From when I met you during our first few days of school, you were just some kid who didn't normally have lunch. So, I told my dad to start making me extra sandwiches in my lunch, so I could give you one. Back then, you were frail, scared, and a misfit. No matter how hard you tried, you just couldn't get anything right. Then I started giving you lunch, and you started opening up towards me and my other friends, then to other people that you didn't know, and son enough, you were making friends, and having fun without needing me there to guide you. But ever since then, I've found myself drawn closer and closer to you. We would go on 'adventures' throughout Skyloft, and come back with scrapes and bruises, always getting yelled at by my father. Little did we know that those little adventures were only preparing us for an adventure far beyond the scale and caliber of any other human, but you did it. You saved everyone, and killed off a resurrected demon, and you did it all without question, just for me. Now, we have a house, a bed, and each other. Link, I would never trade any of my memories with you, unless it was to be able to make more memories with you, and to stay by your side, for all time."

She was done. She exhaled the rest of her breath as she looked up at Link. His eyes were glossed over from water, but he couldn't let it flow, he kept himself together.

It was his turn after all, he didn't want to disappoint.

"Zelda, no matter which way I say it, your name never sounds any less beautiful than the day you told me what it was. The same goes for me, when you first asked what my name was, I hesitantly told you, and you repeated it with this beautiful and crisp sweetness I hear every time you say it. Ever since then, I yearn for you to say my name, to be able to hear your voice, happy and alive. Zelda, you make me whole, you made me who I am today. Without you, I probably still would not have friends, not have any form of self confidence whatsoever, and not getting to marry the woman of my dreams. From whether it was fate or luck, I don't care to know, I am glad that the rest of my life is going to be spent intertwined with yours. I am eternally grateful that you would wish to spend yours with me. This is no dream Zelda, this is really happening. There's no one to ruin your dream, nothing to wake you up, and make you yearn for what you felt in that dream. We're really here, we're really grown-up- not just some kids on random adventures anymore- we're really getting married, and I really love you. Reality isn't so bad some days. And even when it is, I will be there, every step of the way, to make sure that you can get over, both of us, together. So I am glad that the rest of my reality is going to be spent loving you, for all time."

Clear and smooth. Link added all his emotion into every word he said, for he truly meant them. No lies were between them, nothing was going to tear them apart, and nothing could break them. They were here, in love, under the stars.

Zelda cried. It wasn't full out sobbing, but tears ran down her cheeks. Link put his hand up to her face, and wiped her tears with his thumb. He bent closer towards her.

"You have no reason to cry, my dear. Smile for me, please?" Link gave her a slight grin, which she returned ten fold.

Link put his hand down and looked back at Owlan, waiting for him to continue.

"Now, will you be true to the vows you have made?"

"I will" was said in unison.

"You will continue to love your other for as long as you live?"

In unison with each other, they responded. "I will."

"You will remember that, no matter where time drifts you apart, you will always be united by this great bond?"

"I will."

"From this day forth, you will be, to each other, the one you will love for all time, the one who you chose to spend the rest of your life with, the one who you will wake up everyday and see, the one who you will share your children with, and the one whose name will be forever associated with yours, are you willing to accept that?"

"Absolutely." Link said without hesitation, but a familiar, higher-pitched voice was missing along with his own. He looked over to see Zelda looking down at the ground. He waited for a moment, seeing what she would do.

He was just about to touch her shoulder when she came back up with a giant confident smile and stated

"It's like you would accuse me of not doing these things. Of course I will love him, of course I want to spend the rest of my life with him, of course I want to wake up each morning with him by my side, and I would want no one else to share my children with. That is a promise I make." Gesturing to Owlan, "to you," To Link, "to you," She turned her back to face every one in the crowd, "and to everybody."

Zelda turned back around, and stared at Owlan, waiting for him to continue. Link stared at her for a while, along with Owlan, Gaepora, and everyone else there. But Zelda never broke her stare at Owlan; she kept her face straight and radiant.

Link broke the silence.

"Now I feel like I've been one-up'd."

Everyone started to giggle and laugh at the comment. Zelda said something to Link during all the commotion, which only he heard, and smiled.

"Continuing on." Owlan said, breaking character. "You have agreed to love each other, for eons, and eons, as long as there are stars in the sky, you will love each other?"

"Yes." Another unison voice.

Owlan leaned his candle, still lit, forward. Zelda and Link tipped theirs towards his, catching them ablaze again. Link turned to his right; and Zelda to her left. Walking forward to the first person of the respective rows—Gaepora for Zelda, and Fledge for Link- they lit their candles. Slowly the candle lighting began to make its way through the rows of people. All at once, the area seemed to be glowing, and not just from the candles; in the distance, the sun was barely starting to rise.

Link and Zelda walked back to their place next to each other.

"Let the love of these two touch every one, just like their lights have reached you, let their love never die, and their hearts be one."

There was a cheer from the crowd of people as Link and Zelda kissed. A few seconds passed before that urge Link had when he proposed to her came back, more powerful than before. It hadn't reappeared in the weeks after the proposal to now, he had no idea what caused it, but he wasn't going to let it get the better of him. Not today, not now. He broke the kiss off, which wasn't unusual, considering there was still work to be done for the ceremony.

Link and Zelda walked over to the edge of the Plaza, placing themselves on the beginning of the dock, where they would normally jump off. The eastern sky in the distance was turning a peachy yellow color. As if cued, Link and Zelda whistled, still standing on the platform. Two birds came down from the sky to meet their owners.

Link put his hand to his bird's forehead (at least, were the bird should have one.)

"Alright buddy, we've been through this, you don't catch me this time, got it, you catch her, and you catch her as if my life depended on it." The Loftwing gave him a stare that said 'you don't think I already know this?'

Zelda put her forehead against her Loftwings beak, then, raising her head back up, looked it straight in the eye, channeling it a message. The bird gave off a soft whine.

They both flew off into the distance.

Link and Zelda turned around, where their backs were facing the surface. Grabbing hands, she told Link

"You know, I distinctly remember telling you that jumping off like this was dangerous a couple years back."

Link laughed at her "Yeah, but I did it anyway."

"That doesn't mean it's safe."

"Don't worry; I'm here if anything goes wrong."

Zelda was glad for that. She breathed in to the full capacity of her lungs, and squeezed Link's hand.

And they leaned back and fell.

This part was something that most people, when getting married, wouldn't do because of the danger it possessed. Your Loftwing wasn't supposed to catch you, the other person's was. If both Loftwings came to you, the other person was in trouble, if neither of them came, you both would be in trouble, if they each went to their owners, then people would always think it bad luck. All in all, people didn't do it anymore.

Then again, Link and Zelda weren't normal people.

Zelda tried her best to imitate Link's whistle, while Link hit hers spot on. Link leaned to the right, and Zelda to the left; making room for the Loftwings to come through.

Zelda's Loftwing went straight towards Zelda at first, but then remembered that she wasn't the one it needed to catch. Changing direction, Link landed on it and kept gliding down, with Zelda yards from him. Suddenly a crimson flash came through and picked her up. It was so fast that Link barely saw it. Gesturing the bird to fly upwards to catch up with Zelda, he thought

"Is that really what I look like getting picked up…? That's nice to know." He chuckled silently to himself.

They circled each other, while still climbing into the sky. Link kept getting behind, and not catching up fully to his own bird. Link could see why Zelda didn't really like racing him now. Halfway up to Skyloft, Link noticed that Zelda was holding on for dear life by the leather strap of his Loftwing. Link, being protective, yelled at his bird.

"Whoa buddy, that's not me remember! Slow down!" The bird, suddenly remembering who it had as a passenger slowed down immensely to a more gliding speed, and Link slowed Zelda's bird down to the appropriate speed as well.

The continued their spiral climb once Zelda had opened her eyes, and felt like she wasn't going to fly off. Closer and closer they climbed, almost moving like the sun was, ever so steadily into the sky. When they finally flew over Skyloft's edge, there was a roar from all they people in Skyloft. People were clapping, some yelling, some even setting off a few fireworks that could barely been seen in the sky.

Link and Zelda stopped their circular climb and looped inward towards each other, then jumping off, and landing on the surface of Skyloft.

Before they were fully standing, people were gathering all around them, wanting to talk to them, wanting to be able to know what it was like, riding someone else's Loftwing. Link and Zelda answered the first few questions, but soon got tired of it. They were trying to calm the crowd, but luckily Groose, in his bright red shirt, did it for them.

"Alright, alright. Ladies and Gentlemen, I believe that the only thing these two want to do is go to the little after party, and then go home to get some rest. So, if you please, make your way to the clearing before the sparring hall!"

.;'';..;'

The reception wasn't all that fun. Link and Zelda cut a cake with two little carving of them that Link had made back when he first started carving. They danced, they ate, and every time Zelda would try to kiss him, he would avoid it in anyway possible, from saying someone needed to see him, to not noticing, to saying he needed to sit for a few minutes. If Link wasn't so conscious about it, he probably would have enjoyed it more.

It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when Zelda and Link got to go home. Landing in the clearing, which they finally had named 'The Clearing' after not being able to come up a witty name to name it, Link helped Zelda get off her Loftwing, making sure not to tear or rip her dress. He then lifted her up and carried her to their house, which Zelda had to open the door to so Link wouldn't drop her.

Link was grateful that they had left their room door open. He laid her down on their bed, releasing his arms from around her waist. He leaned up to stand correctly, but she caught his collar. She jerked him down towards her face, and she kissed his cheek, hard. Link was caught completely by surprise. She let his face go from her lips and made him look at her face.

"What was with you?" She said sternly.

"I have no idea what you mean." She released his collar from her grasp and pushed him forward, along with herself.

"BULL! You would rarely dance with me, and even when you did, you wouldn't even look at me! Every time I tried to kiss you, you would just act like I was doing nothing, or that it was insignificant! What. Is. Wrong. With. You?"

Link's eyes widened and he looked away from her. He repositioned himself to where his legs were off the bed, and his feet were touching the floor. He slumped his head down in between his knees, took off his hat, and ran his fingers through his hair. First he did it slowly, then he sped up, almost like he was scratching his head. Zelda remembered he had done this before when she asked him about running away together when they were kids. She worked her way towards Link from her spot on the bed, and put her arms around him.

"Link, is everything okay? You seemed so… misplaced today after we flew together." She knew it was cheesy, but she believed it would somewhat help. "I'm your wife Link, you can tell me anything. You know that, right? You could have always told me anything."

Link sat there, fingers in hair, and thought. He thought about Zelda when she was little, when she had her short hair, to when they both joined the Knight academy on the same day, to when she locked herself in a crystal, to when it was all over, to know. Every instant of their lives together, he thought about.

"Link? Link, remember what I told you earlier, while everyone was laughing? That I truly meant every word I said there, remember? Nothing you say will change that." She said.

"It's just… it's just that when I kissed you to seal our vows, I got this… this urge to just, take over you, and… and I didn't want to do that, and it had even happened before to, but this time was just… so demanding, and forceful, and I would never want to do that to you… I would never want to force you into something like what I had the urge to do… what am I even saying anymore?" Link went back to rubbing his fingers in his hair, and Zelda tightened her grip around him.

"Link… Link if it really bothered you that much, you should have said something to me about it."

"I couldn't just tell you today that 'Hey, I want to do bad and dirty things to you every time we kiss, so please, lay off' very well today. Sorry on my part."

Zelda felt hurt by this, but she kept her cool.

"I didn't mean it like that, Link."

"Then how did you mean it?"

Zelda moved his head from it's position facing the floor to its position facing her.

"I mean that you could have told me when it first happened, not waiting until today, the day of our wedding, to tell me."

Link starred at Zelda's face, with her lips just so perfectly placed inches from his. He starred at them, then at her eyes. They were bright and gleaming with worry, doubt, and sincerity. He looked away from her, not wanting to do something he would regret doing later.

But Zelda wouldn't let him.

She grabbed his head before he looked away, and moved back to its original position, and moved her head closer. Their lips a mere inch away from each other

"Kiss me. Kiss me for Pete's sake, what happens, happens. I am your wife now, Link, you need to-"

He moved his lips forcefully onto hers; taking in all the air he could in that one-inch space. She was in shock at the pure force behind it, making her head jerk back a few inches. She looked at Link's face. His eyes were closed, waiting-no, longing for her to kiss him back.

So that's what she did. She laced her arms around his neck, and kissed him back. Link put his arms around her waist and sat him and her both up properly. Her they sat there for a while, just kissing each other in a rhythmic pattern, like they normally would.

"Has… it come… yet?" Zelda said with every breath she got to take. She got her answer when Link, hesitantly at first, unwrapped his arms from her waist and then leaned forward and pushed her against the bed, making her lay down with him on top of her, and the putting his arms around her neck and head. From this position, she threw her shoes off, and took Link's off as well, with her feet. From there, Link undid the clip in her hair, and gently tossed it aside to a sheet that was on the floor. Still kissing, more roughly now, Zelda wrapped her feet around Link's, keeping him stably on top of her. She moved her arms away from his neck and started to rub his back.

Link turned himself over, to where he was on the bottom, and she was on top. Zelda, again, moved her hands. This time from his back, to his chest. She started to talk again

"How… you feeling?" She muttered in between kissing and breathing.

Link responded using the same method.

"Fan… tastic."


Okay yeah, I totally can't end it now. I need to keep it going. I need my daily dose of typing this crap. Believe it or not, I actually started this for an English class. My teacher told us that 'writing on your own will help you understand the use of rhetorical devices and literary terms.' so, yep GO SCHOOL!

Can you tell I'm American by my use of inches? Because I can!

I'm not writing what happens next. Nope. The next chapter will start after a few weeks go by or it's the next morning or something. But I will not go farther than twisting about without shoes on. That is where I draw the line.

Anyway, really sorry about the delay, but I have this thing for my school coming up and I need to know everything I can about the Netherlands. So, if you live in the Netherlands, you could you know, drop me a personal message with all the cool stuff and traditions you guys have. That'd be nice.

Review?
