This chapter will be written differently than normal for the sake of the wedding, and we will do all dares next chapter. By the way, we've never included a disclaimer, so we are now: We don't own TMM.

Cy sat staring into the mirror, something she didn't do often due to her blindness. But today her eyes were uncovered for once, she would put up with the searing pain for her soon-to-be-husband. Oh how he loved her golden eyes after just a three second glance. The thought of his perplexed and fascinated expression caused her to smile that sad smile of hers, the corners of her lips raised, but there was no happiness in her eyes.
Shara came up behind her friend and smiled, "Oh, Cy, I'm so happy for you!" Cy rolled her eyes, shaking her head, and all the while she couldn't help but think it was pathetic that her friends were more excited that she was letting them fuss over her than she was that she was getting married. That's not to say she wasn't happy, she was, but she couldn't be completely happy knowing she would outlive her husband for lifetimes upon lifetimes.
"Don't look so happy, gee, Cy. One" Kioko said, curling Cy's silver hair with a smile.
"One would never know you're getting married," Shara said applying foundation to her already flawless skin, "Ugh, you're so lucky, you have such amazing skin."
"And if you dyed your hair it'd be gorgeous!" Kioko said, enviously, then knowing Cy's love for her hair added, "I mean prettier, it's just fine the way it is."
"I've tried dying it before, trust me, it's useless," Cy said with a small laugh at her friends' envy that had never been present before.
"Who knew you looked so hot under that blindfold," Shara teased and continued applying Cy's make-up. It was odd for Cy to be the center of attention that she so often avoided. Another oddity was Cy being in the make-up chair, she usually did the others' make-up because someone needed to fill that role, it was odd at first, but as soon as they figured out Cy was less likely to make mistakes because of the detail of her mind-vision Cy became the chief make-up artist. Zamukie, with her models eyes for fashion, was the one in charge of outfits. Kioko had always been forced to do her own hair because she didn't have a mother to do it for her, so she had figured out things quickly. And Shara, being the latest addition, filled whatever role the person having something done had been assigned.
Soon Cy's hair was done in the specific way she had shown Kioko and Shara was done. Cy's hair was in a sort of elegant looking knot on the back of her head, like a bang a ponytail, and the rest was curled in loose ringlets flowing down her back. Shara had put light eyeliner around Cy's golden wolf-like eyes, along with light blue eye shadow that was barely noticeable but that made her eyes more golden than usual, her mascara made her thin eyelashes beautiful. She appeared to have more color than normal, but not enough to look fake or odd. Shara has applied a light lavender coat of nail polish with sparkles to Cy's now-moisturized-but-previously-calloused hands, and done likewise with her dainty feet.
"Hey, where'd the bride go?" Zamukie teased her friend.
"Very funny, so show me the dress, Mukie," Cy said, she was nervous, she had been going to make her own dress but with the catering and her determination not to cheat Cy hadn't had time. So Zamukie got one for her, but refused to show Cy, and oddly enough the bride hadn't had any hints. Zamukie smiled and unveiled the masterpiece she had selected for her best friend. The top was sleeveless and had intricate beading covering the top and on the edge of the train. The gown, with a tighter than life top and a bottom then puffed out, was like the gowns you always saw Disney princesses wearing to the ball. Mukie had also picked out a tiara and veil, the tiara was small, and simple, but still gorgeous. And the veil was beaded like the gown, but had nice flow and didn't look cheap or too elegant.
"Mukie it's gorgeous!" Cy exclaimed and locked her friend in a hug. Her friends all helped her into the gown without messing up their hard work, Cy slipped into her silver flat shoes that made her just two inches shorter than her husband, and that made her happy, she would feel petite, and that was something she hadn't felt in a long time.
"So, you and Pai are a bride a groom, Shara and Ryou are going to be a Greek god and goddess, Koru and Mukie are gonna be Barbie and Ken, and Iggy and I are gonna be Hansel and Gretel. Oh, I'm so excited you guys made it a costume themed wedding!"
"It's Halloween, I had to," Cy said with a smile, she remembered when Halloween was All Hollow's Eve, even when it was Samhain. But she also remembered it as the day she came to a land of savages, it was 4420 B.C. after all.
"So, ready to go to the Ballroom?" Zamukie asked with a smile at her friend, she knew what Cy was thinking, and she couldn't believe that her wedding wasn't enough to distract her from those morbid thoughts.
"Yeah, cam you guys put up with me cheating, we're running behind?" Cy said, getting ready to focus her will. No one objected, she snapped, releasing her will and they were all in costume, there make-up and hair done as they designated by the drawings they had shown her. Cy was glad that Pai's culture didn't require a church or some sort of weird ritual, she thanked Aldur she wasn't Christian, and not for the first time. This prevented any interfering from her having her wedding at the castle, she wished her family could be there, but she was going in with a smile, besides, Shara would kill her if her make-up ran.

"Damn, she looks hot," Kish whispered into Pai's ear, looking at Cy as the doors opened, the Bridal Tune playing, and she was revealed for the first time to the groom's family and she smiled at the shocked expression, they had no idea what they getting into. Pai would've responded, but he was too dumb founded, he always knew Cy was beautiful, but this being before him was otherworldly, and those eyes! He had never seen such magnificent gems. There were whispers from the small crowd, but they were both only focused on each other. Pai was in a tux, typical, but Cy was still mesmerized as she walked down the aisle, walked down by two men, neither her father, Iggy and Tomahawk
"Congratulations, Cy, I'm happy for you," Iggy whispered, breaking her out of her trance.
"Thanks, sorry this is the only role you two have in the wedding," she whispered.
"Well I think it's the most important, I'm glad you chose us," Tomahawk smiled.
Cy had Zamukie as her Maid of Honor, and Pai had chosen Kish as his Best Man, Kioko, Shara, Tart, and Koru were the other members of the wedding party. Iggy wasn't upset, he and Pai had never gotten along, but he was still in the front row for moral support for Cy as were the mews, Tomahawk, Cynder, and Bloom. The rest of the guests were aliens that Pai had insisted on inviting.
The man marrying them was also alien, but agreed to make a couple adjustments to make it right by Cy. The ceremony wasn't too odd for Cy, she had insisted on exchanging vows, but the rest of the ceremony, for the most part was left to the aliens. Cy found it for the most part sweet, some parts strange, but mostly sweet.
"Now introducing, for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Pai Damakis," the man announced.
"My clan name," Pai explained, giving her a kiss on the cheek as they walked away to a designated hiding spot, waiting for people to go outside, so they, along with the rest of the wedding party, could be pelted with bird seed. And they did, and they laughed during the whole thing, enjoying the happy union.
The ceremony was enjoyed by all, and Cy and Pai enjoyed everyone else costumes, getting a good look at them while they enjoyed a first dance to an alien hymn. Cy had always hated the agony of the throwing the bouquet, but she put everyone through it everyone. Zamukie caught the bouquet, and Koru flew up to catch the garter, that Cy had humorously insisted Pai remove with his teeth, and yet on of Pai's cousin's caught it. One of Pai's hormonal teen cousin's, who had been threatened with death if he tried anything funny, slowly put the garter on Mukie's upper thigh, enjoying the view at her undergarment that her Barbie dress had allowed. Koru growled at him to get away from his girl and the cousin backed off, his eyeballs still on Mukie as he walked away. Another dance began
"Oh, relax, Koru," Mukie said and Koru gave Mukie a kiss, that seemed desperate, and dominating at the same time, their tongues soon fought in an evenly matched battle, Mukie eventually winning, but not gloating.
"I'm sorry," Koru said, looking guiltier than ever.
"For what," Mukie said, planting another kiss on his cheek, starting to sway like the rest of the dancing crowd.
"If I didn't claim dominance over you with that than he'd have had right to you."
"What?" Mukie growled, her voice dropping eerily.
"I told you I was sorry, but there are mostly aliens here, and it's an alien thing," Koru looked embarrassed and hurt, because he knew that Mukie wouldn't like that.
"But I'm human," Mukie glared at him, and a feeling of calm overwhelmed her, "Oh what the hell, just never do it again."
The ceremony was enjoyed, and the aliens returned to their planet at the end of the night, and everyone else stayed in the castle, with the exception of Cy and Pai, who went to London for their Honey Moon. Pai's family though upset that Cy was human, for the most part liked Cy and were happy for him. It had been a great night for everyone, and Cy was sure that she wasn't the only one that celebrated after the wedding, getting a vision of Tomahawk and Mint going off to Tomahawk's room in the castle, as well as Koru and Mukie sneaking off, and several other couples that were going to enjoy the night with here
