AN: Last chapter! I hope you all enjoy.
Levy studied her reflection in the mirror, grinning nervously as Lucy tucked the final strands of curls into a bun at the top of her head. Lucy giggled as she looked at her best friend.
"There's no need to be nervous, Levy," Lucy reassured the bride, letting Mira take over. "After all, you two have been together this long and Gajeel is completely head over heels for you."
Levy smiled a real smile then, remembering how much he loved her. She looked over where Wendy was holding a sleeping baby in her arms and her smile grew. Hard to believe it had been almost two years since Gajeel had proposed. They had agreed to wait until after the baby was born, then until she turned one. Now their little Joy laid asleep, her dress crinkled about her while her dark hair fell in her face, hiding those beautiful hazel eyes.
"Levy hold still," Mira complained, bringing her back to the present.
Lucy, Mira, and Cana were going to be her bridesmaids. She felt so small next to the beautiful ladies in their deep purple dresses. She was still surprised that Cana had agreed to wear it. She sighed happily as she held still. Mira was doing her makeup while Lucy had done her hair and now she hardly recognized herself in the mirror.
"Come on," Cana encouraged. "Time to get you into this contraption."
Levy giggled as Cana held out the poofy dress with distaste. While their dresses were slinky and slimming Levy had chosen a giant poofy dress with lace and frills. The sleeves feel to the sides of her shoulders in chiffon. The top half of the dress was silk with little decoration, but the bottom half billowed out like a dress from a fairy tale, all chiffon and lace, gathering up on one side with a beautiful purple rose that matched the bridesmaid dresses completely. Underneath you could see the silk that matched the top part of her dress, flowing down in beautiful ripples.
Somehow the three managed to stuff her in it, Wendy watching on in admiration. Joy woke just as Lucy placed the crown on her head and looked at her mother in awe.
"Momma, I wanna be just as pretty when I get married," Joy insisted, sitting up.
Levy smiled at her daughter, "You will be more beautiful than I could be."
"Promise?"
Levy nodded kissing her daughter, "I promise."
Makarov knocked on the door, "It's time."
Levy opened it grinning as she handed her child back to Wendy.
"Thank you for doing this," She said, looking down at her master.
He grinned as he held onto her hand, "I'm honored you asked me. I'm glad I can walk someone down the aisle."
Gajeel stood at the alter, waiting impatiently. He hated weddings, hated how mushy they were, but he had promised Levy a beautiful wedding - a real wedding with a church and bridesmaids and groomsmen. Makarov had left moments ago to fetch his bride. He was thankful that the guild master had stepped into the roll as father-of-the-bride, giving that Levy had no real family to speak of. He fidgeted as he waiting until a hand settled on his shoulder and he turned to smile at his best man.
No one had been surprised when he'd asked Jet and Droy to be his groomsmen. If he hadn't then the two would have probably insisted, seeing as Levy was like family to them. What had surprised them was when he'd asked Natsu to be his best man. Natsu had agreed, completely blown away by the offer. No one knew that he had first asked Lily, but the cat had refused, saying he had other duties to perform.
Watching now, he was surprised to see as Lily, Charle, and Joy walked down the aisle. The exceeds keeping the little flower girl between them so she wouldn't wander off. His smile turned into a real one as he watched his daughter strewing petals on the floor. He was impressed with how seriously she took the job, pausing only to look back at her godmother and make sure she was doing a good job. Wendy nodded encouragement before turning to the bride.
Gajeel's heart stopped for a moment when he saw his shrimp. She looked so beautiful, all dressed up with her hair in a pile of curls on her head. He'd always known she was beautiful, but today.. today he almost couldn't breathe with how beautiful she was.
Levy looked at her groom, his eyes seemed to stick to her and she blushed. He looked amazing in his tux, but she knew he probably thought the same about her. When they reached the alter she took his hand in her own, their daughter standing next to her as the two said their vows.
Joy watched her parents, smiling broadly. Somehow the little mage just knew this was the start of forever.
