LUCINA'S POV
"I honestly can't believe you." Thomas said as we wove our way through the crowds towards the church. "What? ME? You're the one who's acting like a jealous… friend because I was talking with my dad's best friend!" Thomas' expression darkened but he didn't say reply. "Come on, we're almost there." He finally broke the silence after 20 minutes of walking.
We rushed in to get seats in the fourth row back. The 1st row was reserved for the direct relatives of the bride and groom and I didn't want to risk sitting in the 2nd row. "We're late." I mumbled under my breath as the doors at the other end of the hall opened. Robin ran down the aisle in a suit jacket and took his place next to Chrom.
"I didn't know Robin was the best man." Thomas said looking at me. "I thought he would have told you in your little chat." I glared daggers at him. "Can you let that go already? Its not like we're courting!" I don't remember raising my voice but I got several curious looks my way. Thoroughly embarrassed, I sat down, silently fuming. Someone had apparently shut the doors, because they both opened slowly and organ music began to play.
Sumia walked 5 feet into the aisle, and tripped over her dress. I sighed. "We both know it was going to happen." Thomas said, containing laughter. I glared at him again. "Don't insult my mother." I said, and looked back. Sumia was on her feet again, probably embarrassed, and continued down the aisle at a slower pace.
Without falling again, she made it to the altar. Libra, who was unanimously chosen to lead the ceremony, looked at the two. "Exalt Chrom of Ylisse." He began, "Do you promise to-" "Thomas take that lollipop out of your mouth!" I hissed Thomas looked at me, sighed, and took the pop out his mouth, and stuck it in a pocket.
"I do." Chrom said, looking at Sumia. I sighed. "Great, I missed it. Happy now?" I said, looking at Thomas. He merely rolled his eyes. Libra turned his gaze to Sumia. "Sumia of Ylisse, do you take Chrom to be your lawful wedded husband?" Sumia smiled. "I do." She said, not taking her eyes off of Chrom.
"Do you promise to love and cherish him, in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, for better for worse, and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him, for so long as you both shall live? "I do." Sumia said again.
Libra continued, "Do you together promise in the presence of your friends and family that you will at all times and in all circumstances, conduct yourselves toward one another as becomes Husband and Wife? "We do." They both spoke in unison.
Libra read the last part of the vow and shut his book. "Do you together promise you will love, cherish and respect one another throughout the years?" Chrom and Sumia smiled and looked at each other with fondness. "We do." They both said.
Libra smiled. "I now pronounce you as husband and wife. Sir Chrom, You may kiss the bride." And Chrom did. Sumia turned as red as a tomato, and when they pulled apart she couldn't speak in full sentences.
"I hope they have candy at the reception." Was all Thomas said. I sighed and looked up at my parents. "I hope they have changing rooms. This dress is killing me." I replied, and together we walked away from the church.

I'M SO SORRY EVERYONE! I couldn't stop myself from making Sumia trip. I had to do it. You should all understand. Anyway, quick shift in Thomas and Lucina's relationship/friendship/whatever you call it. So, um, enjoy.
