A/N: Hello everyone, so you're probably a little confused about why Jia and Andrew were married without a wedding chapter. Well me, being the klutz I am forgot that in "Lady's Man" that they are after being married and posted the chapter thinking it was before the wedding. I'm so sorry about that. Anyway, this chapter and the next will fix all that. This is kinda like a twoshot, as it's part of the chapter which comes after this one. I hope you all enjoy it, thank you for the support. And thank you to my dear friend AlienHeart1915 for pointing this out, albeit in a rather aggressive manner. Anyway, again I hope you all enjoy. Review, follow and favourite :)
It was a beautiful morning in the Valley of Peace, as the warm and glowing sun radiated it's rays down on the occupants. Today was a very...VERY special day for two people in particular...Master Andrew and Master Jia Hu. Yep, thats right, today is the day of their wedding. The two were currently waking up from their peaceful sleep, as Andrew opened his eyes. He looked down and saw the girl he would be marrying today. Even though she was sleeping, Jia looked absolutely beautiful. Andrew smiled as she started to wake up slowly. She fluttered her eyes open and looked up to see her handsome Tiger looking at her. Looking at him always warmed her heart.
"Morning sweetie" Said Andrew, as he kissed her lips softly. She knew what was happening today. And she couldn't wait.
"Morning honey" Said Jia, as she sat up with Andrew and cuddled into his chest.
"Today's the day Jia...Today we get married" Said Andrew as he tried to get his head round it. She smiled as he cuddled her tighter.
"I know honey, I'm so excited!" Said Jia, as she squealed with excitement. He chuckled and then thought of something.
"I'm nervous though" Said Andrew, as Jia purred and snuggled into him, rubbing his chest in comfort.
"You'll be fine and so will I. It's cause it's just a big day and we don't won't anything to go wrong" Said Jia as she sent a soft and loving smile his way. It always calmed him down.
"Thanks babe" Said Andrew as he hugged her and then spoke.
"Well we better get ready" Said Andrew as he smiled at her. She nodded and spoke softly to him.
"Well then, see you at the altar handsome" Said Jia, as she kissed him lovingly. This would be their last kiss as fiancee and fiancé, so they wanted to make it special. Andrew caressed her cheek and brushed his thumb through her soft and silky fur. They held it for another minute as they then broke.
"See you at the altar beautiful" Said Andrew as he pecked her cheek and left to go to the guys, as they were his best men. They girls were helping Jia, as they were the bridesmaids. Andrew got to the room and seen the guys waiting for him.
"Hey guys" Said Andrew as they greeted him. They were all excited at being best men.
"Hey bud" Said the guys as Po then spoke.
"You ready?" Said Po as he sent a smile Andrew's way. The male Tiger smiled widely, as he grinned at the Panda.
"You bet ya" Said Andrew as he began to get ready. He was wearing his best attire. The vest was white w/ Black Dragon patterns going up it and it had black trim. The pants were black with the same Dragon pattern going up the side of each leg, except the colour was White. He then had his fur all washed and combed, as well as his attire, which was cleaned and looked good. He was then ready to go to the wedding.
"Ready to go?" Said Po as he looked at his friend. Andrew sighed happily and then smiled at Po.
"Yes, lets go" Said Andrew, as he and the guys left for the wedding. Along the way Po and Ace spoke to Andrew.
"By the way buddy, you'll be fine, don't worry" Said Po, as he smiled at Andrew. Ace followed suit and spoke to him.
"Yeah don't worry Master, you'll be fine and so will Jia" Said Ace, as he sent a smile at his Master. Andrew smiled back, as he was glad to have these two as his friends.
"Thanks guys, I'm glad your here" Said Andrew, as he smiled back at them. The two Masters smiled back as they both spoke.
"And we're glad to be here bud" Said the Lion and Panda as they continued to the wedding. It was being held in the Valley of Love, at the top of the Mountain of Borealis under the Tree of Eternity. This was because they got engaged there, so it was only fitting to get married there as well. Soon they arrived in the Valley of Love and seen the Mountain of Borealis and since it was a bright, beautiful and clear day, the whole mountain was visible. They smiled and started to go up the path to it. They passed all the beautiful flowers and blossoms, as they still dazzled and looked good with the wedding's atmosphere. Soon they reach the top and seen the Tree of Eternity, as the altar was set up there. Standing at the altar was Master Paarthurnax, as they were going to get a priest, but decided against it and asked Master Paarthurnax. The old Dragon accepted with honour and delight. They all walked over to him, as he smiled at the sight of his student.
"Dovahkiin" Said Paarthurnax, as he bowed to his student.
"Master" Said Andrew as he bowed back. Paarthurnax then patted him on the back to show his pride.
"I am very proud of you Dovahkiin and it is an absolute honour to lead your wedding and unite you and Master Jia Hu in eternal love" Said Paarthurnax as Andrew smiled back. He was glad his Master was here and leading.
"The pleasure is mine and Jia's Master, we are honoured to have you lead our wedding" Said Andrew as Paarthurenax smiled at him. He was very proud of his student.
"Thank you Dovahkiin, that's very kind" Said the old Dragon, as he portrayed a soft look on his face. Andrew's facial expression softened as well, as he smiled.
"Anytime Master" Said Andrew, as he the guys got into their places. The place was beginning to fill up and Andrew knew it would soon be time for it to start. All the best men were in their places. Master Paarthurnax was in his. The musicians were in position for Jia's entrance. The bridesmaids and Zhe Hu were with Jia and would soon arrive. Andrew was beginning to get nervous again, as the moment drew closer. He didn't want to mess this up, as this was the biggest moment of, not only his life, but of Jia's life too. Paarthurnax and the guys noticed this and spoke to the Tiger.
"Something wrong Dovahkiin?" Asked Paarthurnax, as Andrew responded.
"I'm just very nervous Master, I don't want to mess this up...Especially for Jia, it means just as much to her as it does to me. She's been dreaming of this moment forever. I don't want to ruin it for us" Said Andrew, as Paarthurnax patted his shoulder with his right wing.
"Everything will be fine Dovahkiin, I promise you. Everyone gets nervous on their wedding day and it is totally understandable. But you are one of the most capable people I know. You'll be fine and so will Jia, she's probably feeling just like you and her father is probably telling her the exact same thing I'm telling to you" Said Paarthurnax as Po then spoke.
"Agreed. Buddy, you've got this, I know you have. Everything will be as brilliant and magical as you want it to be" Said Po as he sent a comforting smile to Andrew. The male Tiger really was grateful to have these people as his friends and to have Paarthurnax as his Master.
"Thank you everyone, sincerely. This means a lot to me" Said Andrew, as they nodded and smiled. A while passed, before the wedding began. The soft, calming and rhythmic music played in the air, as flower girls skipped happily down the isle. Lotus Blossoms and Tiger Lillie's laid gently on the ground, as the flower girls passed. It was then...That she entered. Jia entered the area holding onto her father's arm, as he was best in his best attire. The rest of the girls were behind her in their best dresses, as they walked happily and sweetly behind Jia. They all had White Tiger Lilies behind their ear, except for Viper and Sapphire, who had their best flowers garments. Andrew looked at Jia and was astonished by how beautiful and perfect she looked. She was radiant with beauty. She had on her silk Lilac dress that had a flower pattern at the bottom of it and a Lilac coloured veil covering her face. It was made perfectly for her and was the finest silk in the world. She had a light Blue Tiger Lillie clipped behind her ear and had on her best perfume. Her fur was all brushed and cleaned, as it glistened in the light. Andrew was speechless with how beautiful she looked. Everyone was taken back with how beautiful she looked, even the guys were looking at her in awe. She reached the altar and her dad kissed her cheek and spoke softly to her.
"I love you my daughter, I am very proud of you" Said Zhe Hu as he smiled at her, Jia smiled and kissed her father's cheek back.
"I love you too father" Said Jia, as Zhe Hu went and sat in the front row next to Shifu. The bridesmaids had all went to stand next to the best men. Tigress, Viper and Aela stood next to their boyfriends as they looked at the Tiger couple. Jia turned to Andrew and he took her veil down and took her paws in his, as he held them up and kissed them softly.
"You look absolutely beautiful Jia, you really do. Your so perfect" Said Andrew, as he smiled lovingly at her. She smiled at his comment and returned her own.
"Thank you Andrew. You still look as handsome as ever and are perfect as well" Said Jia, as she smiled softly and sweetly at him. Andrew smiled and mouthed 'thank you' to her. Paarthurnax then spoke to them.
"Are you ready to continue?" Said Paarthurnax as Andrew and Jia turned and nodded.
"Yes Master, we are ready to proceed" Said Andrew, as he smiled at his Master. The old Dragon smiled back and then the wedding officially began.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today, upon the Mountain of Borealis, at the Tree of Eternity, to bring together our two most loved warriors. Master Andrew...And Master Jia Hu. Now who gives Master Jia Hu the blessing of love to unite with Master Andrew?" Said Paarthurnax as Zhe Hu stood up and bowed to him.
"I do, Master Paarthurnax" Said Zhe Hu, as he then sat back down. Paarthurnax nodded and then spoke again.
"And who goes against these two uniting in love and marriage?" Said Paarthurnax as silence filled the air. Andrew felt nervous for a moment, but then the silence calmed him down. Paarthurnax then proceeded.
"Very well then, we shall proceed. Master Jia Hu can you please read your vows?" Said Paarthurnax, as he looked softly at Jia.
"It would be my honour Master Paarthurnax" Said Jia, as she then began to read her vows, which Aela had given her.
"Andrew, ever since I met you all those years ago, I have always loved you. As soon as I seen you, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. Your always so kind and sweet to me and make me smile every single day. When you asked me out on our first date, I was jumping with joy, as everything I wanted then happened. And even now, I still love you just as much. You are the most important person in my life and there is nobody that I would rather spend my life with more than with you. So thank you for being there for me, I love you very...Very much" Said Jia, as everyone smiled happily. It was very sweet and beautiful. Andrew was smiling widely and so were the other Masters. Paarthurnax was also smiling, as he then spoke to Andrew.
"Thank you Jia. Master Andrew, can you please read your vows?" Said Paarthurnax, as he smiled. Andrew smiled widely, as he had worked on his vows hard. He wanted to touch Jia's heart to the very core.
"It would be the biggest honour Master" Said Andrew, as Po handed him his vows. He began to read and did more that touch everyone's heart.
"When I first saw you Jia, when you came to High Hrothgar, I couldn't stop thinking about you. You were and always will be...So perfect. Your beautiful, kind, funny, smart, sweet, wise and a great help to anyone. You always look for the best in people and help them when needed. The morning is one the best things in my life, as I get to see your face for another day. I get to be with you for every moment of that day. And when we go to sleep, I get to spend every second with you, preparing for the next day. I love you in ways in which I can't explain. I love you so much, that I would trade my life for yours to live on even for another moment...Because your more than worth it. I want nothing more in life than to be with you. Your the best thing that has and ever will happen to me. I will always keep you safe, warm and comfortable and I will never leave you...Ever. Your my dream girl...My life...My everything...But most importantly...Your my Jia Hu and you always will be" Said Andrew, as he finished his vows. Everyone was in tears of happiness and sweetness. Jia had tears going down her cheeks at how beautiful and sweet it was. She absolutely loved this. Paarthurnax smiled, as he was more than proud of his student.
"May we have the rings please" Said Paarthurnax, as Ace stood behind Andrew and Tigress stood behind Jia with their wedding rings. Andrew was first.
"Master Andrew, do you take Master Jia Hu to be your lawfully wedded wife. To have and to hold in sickness and in health. For better or worse. For richer or poorer. For as long as you both shall live?" Said Paarthurnax, as he looked at Andrew.
"I do" Said Andrew, as his Master then nodded and looked to Jia.
"And Master Jia Hu, do you take Master Andrew to be your lawfully wedded husband. To have and to hold in sickness and in health. For better or worse. For richer or poorer. For as long as you both shall live?" Said Paarthurnax as he looked at her. Jia nodded softly, as she responded.
"I do" Said Jia, as Paarthurnax gestured to the rings.
"Then I ask for the rings to be given, to hold these two together in the bonds of love, marriage and eternity" Said Paarthurnax, as Ace handed Andrew's ring to him. Andrew took the ring and slid it on Jia's paw. She smiled, as Tigress then gave her, her own ring. She slid it on Andrew's paw and then took his into her own.
"I honourably give you the eternal blessing of Mara and Kynareth. Let them guide you through your journey of love and marriage and to look over you for protection and comfort" Said Paarthurnax, as he looked at the two and said the thing everyone was waiting for.
"I now happily pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride" Said Paarthurnax, as he then looked at the Tiger couple. Andrew wrapped his arms around Jia's sleek, curvy and tender waist, as she wrapped her arms around his strong, muscular neck.
"I love you Jia" Said Andrew, as he smiled softly at her.
"I love you too Andrew, always" Said Jia softly, as they both leaned in and connected their lips in that special kiss that they've always been waiting for. Everyone cheered loudly, as the two held their loving kiss. It was official...They were married. Everyone was standing up as flowers were tossed into the air and floated back to the ground gracefully. Zhe Hu was tearing up and was very proud of both his daughter and Andrew. He had to say something to Jia. They broke the kiss and rubbed noses, as they shared a few quick kisses. Zhe Hu then stood up and walked over to his daughter. He then spoke to everyone.
"Can I have everyone's attention?" Said Zhe Hu, as everyone looked at him, eager to hear what he was going to say. Jia and Andrew were especially listening in.
"I have something to say to Jia Hu, my sweet, darling daughter that I love so much. I am so proud of you honey and you have made me a very proud father and I will always be with you in your heart. Your mother would be very proud of you and she has every right to be. I love you my daughter and I always will" Said Zhe Hu, as everyone was so touched by the words. It was so sweet and touching for them. Jia was in tears of happiness and joy and to be honest - so was Andrew, as he too found it sweet.
"I love you too father" Said Jia, as she hugged him tightly. He hugged back and everyone went "Aww" at the two. It was a sweet and tender moment for the father and daughter. They broke the hug and Zhe Hu kissed his daughter's head. He then patted Andrew's back and smiled at him, before returning next to Shifu. Andrew then took hold of Jia's paw, as he spoke.
"We will now head to the reception everyone, so can you please make your way to the Hall of Embers, thank you" Said Andrew. Everyone remained seated though, as Andrew and Jia made their way out with the warriors. While they were walking though, Andrew lifted Jia bridal style and she squealed out in surprise. Everyone chuckled as Jia giggled and looked at Andrew. He was smiling widely as he looked at her radiant face. They got to outside the area, as their friends followed behind. The snow leopard couple that Andrew had met: Aura and Diamond and the three Jaguar girls that Jia and the girls had met: Alexia, Sarafina and Kate were also here, as they got VIP permission to go with them. Andrew then spoke softly.
"Best wedding ever" Said Andrew, as Jia nodded.
"Agreed babe" Said Jia, as Andrew nuzzled her cheek and rubbed noses with her.
"I love you Jia" Said Andrew.
"I love you too Andrew" Said Jia. They both continued down the Mountain of Borealis to the Hall of Embers. Jia was still in Andrew's arms, as she rested her head against his chest. The couples of their friends behind them: Po and Tigress, Viper and Crane, Ace and Aela and finally Aura and Diamond, were also expressing their love to each other through sweet words and gestures. Today was a perfect day. Today was a day...Of love.
