AN: Hey Dear Readers! Sorry this has taken me so long to get written, my wrist surgery found torn and loose ligaments that had to be fixed. I'll be in a cast all summer and I'm also starting a new job so I'm about to get really busy. Rest assured that I am writing as much as I can, so please continue to be patient with me as I try and get chapters out!
"Mhi solus tome, mhi solus dar'tome, mhi me'dinui an, mhi ba'juri verde." Rex took a steading breath as he squeezed the hands resting in his. The dress gloves of his uniform squeaked slightly but the figure before him only squeezed his hands back and smiled wider.
"Mhi solus tome, mhi solus dar'tome, mhi me'dinui an, mhi ba'juri verde." Ahsoka's smile threatened to split her face and she almost laughed with giddiness. In her floor length white dress with a wide tied sash and top modeled after her Jedi uniform, completed with a gold headdress that drapped over her montrals and lekku; she was a vision of beauty and elegance. She could tell that Rex was totally blown away by the look; and she thought he looked just as handsome in his dress uniform.
Once the vows were said there was a moment where the couple looked at each other and then Rex closed the gap between the two of them, slid a hand under her back lekku gently, and pressed their lips together. The crowd of brothers, family, and friends cheered, clapped, and maybe a few helmets were thrown into the air. The now-newly weds faced everyone, bright smiles on their faces; now officially Rex and Ahsoka Tano. They joined the crowd, hugging and shaking hands with all the well wishers.
"You look beautiful today, my daughter." Ahsoka's mother kissed her cheek
"It's all thanks to you." Ahsoka gestured to her dress and adornments "I couldn't have done this without you and my sisters."
"You deserve it." Elsie smiled at her younger sister
On the opposite end of the crowd Rex was being swarmed by brothers.
"Congratulations, Rex, you both deserve this." Cody clapped his brother on the back.
Fives, Jesse, Hardcase and the others that had often been so influential in the Captain and Commander's relationship were all standing near by looking very proud of their long-term achievement.
"You two finally tied the knot, eh Captain." Fives clasped the others arm in a firm handshake.
"You boys sure are proud of your part in all this." He laughed and the others laughed with him.
After the ceremony, which was attended by by Torrent, Ahsoka's family, Anakin, Obi Wan, and Commander Cody, the doors were opened to other well-wishers from other units and other members of the Jedi. People flooded in and out to see the new couple with congratulations. A small cake and various other snacks lined the back wall complimented with plenty of caf-crafts and a few random bottles of alcohol, all gathered by many brothers. When things had settled down and those closest to the couple remained, stories were told.
"So how exactly did all of this come about?" Ahsoka's father asked
Sniggers and muffled laughter scattered about them. "I mean it helps they're apart of the same unit." That was Jesse
"I think the Captain fell in love with the Commander the moment she stepped off the ship in the middle of Christophsis's war zone." Hardcase had a helmet thrown at him "You weren't even there, Hardcase."
"I mean I guess we've always seen that they've been particularly close, even from the beginning, and even if they didn't realize it." Echo couldn't resist the teasing jab at the end
Fives snorted "Yeah, getting them to even realize their mutual attraction took us weeks of nudging."
"And then we had to help them hide the relationship, which normally involved us stalling or doing something stupid." Kix added
"Like throwing me into a collision course with superiors." Tub grumbled good naturedly while others laughed.
"And they were very slow about their relationship, like enfurriately slow." Hardcase complained
"Hey!" Ahsoka objected "It's not like we were breaking rules with our relationship or anything." She added sarcastically.
"I forgot about that. You had to keep the relationship quiet so you wouldn't get in trouble." Ahsoka's younger sister interjected
"Yeah there's so many funny stories we could tell about the tricks we pulled to keep those two undercover." Pidge chuckled "And I'm fairly new to the unit."
Fives spoke up next "And then there's getting them out in an open relationship when it became sanctioned."
"Yes because jumping me in the hall to tell me to ask Ahsoka out was so subtle." Rex snorted
Coric laughed "You only do subtle when missions call for it and barely even then. You should see them in the med bay when the other was injured; there was nothing subtle about them." Kix nodded in agreement
"It would have taken too long if we left you two to your own devices." Cody jabbed and laughed at the look of mock betrayal Rex sent him.
"It seems like you two have had a very interesting history together." Ahsoka's mother smiled at the loving couple.
Ahsoka grinned and laced her fingers with her husband's. "You have no idea."
They went around the room and told their most memorable stories of the couple and the antics around keeping their relationship hidden; down playing any serious danger and injuries and up playing any heroics or grandeur to keep the mood light. Ahsoka's family laughed with the clone brothers through many of the stories.
At the end the day, as the sun was beginning to set and the couple were about set to depart to the hotel where they would be spending the next few days together. Torrent had decked the rented speeder out with 'Just Married' signs and snythmetal cans painted 501st blue and the sienna of Ahsoka's skin. Ahsoka's family and friends gathered around her while Rex was surrounded by Torrent brothers.
The newlywed togruta hugged her parents and sisters "Thank for helping make this day so special."
Hamish kissed his daughter's cheek "We're just glad we could be apart of your life now, and especially this special day."
"We learned so much about you and your adopted family today, it was nice to see." Ahsoka's mother kissed her cheek.
Ahsoka laughed lightly "They're a crazy bunch but they're my brothers."
Ahsoka reached Anakin last. "Thank you for everything Master."
Anakin embraced his padawan. "I really am happy for you Snips, you and Rex make a good couple."
"Thanks Skyguy."
At the same time, Rex was warning Torrent to behave themselves while the new couple took a few days of leave.
"We'll behave, Rex! We'll even keep the shinies in line!" Fives grinned
Rex narrowed his eyes at him "No pranks either."
Hardcase nodded seriously "Cross our hearts, Captain"
The rest rolled their eyes but added their own assurances that they wouldn't cause trouble while the superiors were off duty.
Then it was time for the couple to leave and they walked out hand in hand through the crowd of cheering friends and family as they climbed into the waiting speeder and left the platform. When the couple reached the hotel Rex swept Ahsoka up bridal style to their room, Ahsoka wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head against his shoulder with a contented smile.
"Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum, ner mesh'la riduur." Rex whispered lovingly
"Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum, Rexster." Ahsoka whispered back as they crossed the threshold as husband and wife.
