"Anala, I give you this ring as a reminder of my love and fidelity. I, Mako, take you to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in heath, until death do us part." I felt Mako slip the silver band onto my left ring finger and I saw his eyes twinkle. I reached over and grasped the ring for Mako.
"Mako, I give you this ring as a reminder of my love and fidelity. I, Anala, take you to be my layfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in heath, until death do us part." I slipped the ring on his left ring finger and I felt my heart race, just like it did when I first met Mako. Tenzin was our pastor and I saw Bolin standing off to the side as Mako's best man, looking very handsome in his suit. Pabu was standing on his shoulder, wearing a collar. Behind me was Asami wearing a beautiful dark purple dress, one shoulder with rhinestones around the waist and hem. Tenzin was wearing formal Airbender attire, and Pema and the Airbender kids were sitting in the second row, even Meelo was sitting quietly. It was a small ceremony, only our closest friends were invited. Lin was sitting in the third row, a smile on her face. Taka was next to her, crying into a handkerchief. He had taken Mako and Bolin in when they needed some place to stay, and he had seen them grow up. And in the very back, with two guards, were my brothers. I had asked Lin if they would be allowed to come back for my wedding. They had changed in the seven months they were gone and there was consideration of letting them back into the city. They had walked my down the aisle and when Mako made the Fire Nation vow of, "I promise to use all my skills and abilities to protect her from any who mean her harm," the four of us shared a look.
"I now pronounce you man and wife! Mako, you may kiss your bride." Tenzin exclaimed. Mako lifted the thin veil off my face and kissed me. The crowd stood up and clapped. But I was only focused on Mako for that one moment. When we broke apart, Mako whispered, "We have every morning, every day, every afternoon and every night together now. I love you, Anala." I looked into his red-gold eyes and saw the man I had fallen in love with over a year ago. "I love you too Mako."
