Hi guys, sorry for the long wait for this chapter, but I was finding it hard to write out the actual ceremony.

But...here it is... the next chapter of THE ONES THAT GOT AWAY:

Chapter 37 – The Ceremony Begins!

'Speech' – Mental link

'Speech' – thoughts

'speech' – Jutsu (only in dialogue)

'speech' – radios

Sasuke's P.O.V

Naruto and I were stood at the top of the aisle, waiting for our brides to walk down it. All of our family and friends were sat in the front rows, with the village officials seated behind them. Tsunade and Shizune were stood behind us, with everything set up and ready for the ceremony to begin.

"Are you ready?" I asked my best friend nervously as he fidgeted where he was standing. He nodded, before we saw Ino's head pop around the flower arch at the top of he aisle telling us that every one was ready. I signalled the orchestra, who began to play.

The procession started, with Udon and Konohamaru walking down holding the pillows with the rings. The next people down the aisle were Ino and Iruka, and Tenten and Itachi, the best men and the maids of honour.

The final group was Mikoto, who was throwing white and re rose peals as she went, followed by Moegi and Hanabi. and behind them were the brides and their fathers.

Sakura looked every bit like the Uchiha Matriarch she was about to become. she was wearing a six layer kimono, with red and pink under layers separated by a pure white layer in h middle.

The top layer of her kimono was gold, adorned with black flames along the bottom and the Uchiwa on the back. The black flames along the bottom represented the Uchiha's strongest fire jutsu: Amaterasu.

Her hair was half up, with the top half in an elegant bun, which was adorned with a gold rose. She wore simple make-up, just red lipstick with some gold eyeliner. She also wore gold bangles on her wrists and black heeled sandals.

Naruo's P.O.V

Hinata looked beautiful. She was wearing a six layered kimono, with dark blue and light blue under layers, that were separated by a white layer. The top layer was silver, with a design on gold foxes, and the Uzumaki-Namikaze swirl on the back. The foxes were represent the Namikaze clans link to the Kyuubi.

Her hair was in a bun with her bangs framing her face in curls. She had a gold replica of the Kyuubi in her hair and she wore the smallest amount of make up: red lipstick and silver eyeshadow. She also wore silver bangles and black heeled sandals.

As the girls got to us, we took their hands and guided them up the steps to the stage, where we faced Tsunade for the start of the ceremony.

"As the Godaime Hokage of Konohagakure no sato, I have been given the authority to bless these unions and conduct this ceremony," Tsunade said as she motioned for us to join hands with our respective partner.

"With the joining of hands I ask the couple to exchange rings, before stating their vows," Tsunade said as Konohamaru and Udon came forward, holding our rings.

Sasuke and Sakura:

The set of rings were a family heirloom, that had been slight altered to fit the pair. Sakura's ring was Gold, with a small cherry blossom engraved on either side of a red ruby. Sasuke's was a simple gold band, with a snake engraved around it.

"I, Uchiha Sakura, take you, Uchiha Sasuke, to be my lawfully wedded husband," Sakura said as she placed the ring on his finger, "I fathfully promise to love and support you from this day forward, in sickness and in health, in plenty and in want, in sucess and in failure, in joy and in worry, as long as we both shall live."

"I, Uchiha Sasuke, take you , Uchiha Sakura, to be my lawfully wedded wife," He said as he placed the ring delicately on her finger, "And in doing so, I commit my life to you, encompassing all sorrows and joys,all hardships and triumphs, all the experiences of life. A Commitment made in love, kept in faith, lived in hope, and eternally made new."

"Under the eyes of the Lady Hokage, and the village of Konohagakure no Sato, we swear to honour our vows for as long as we live!" They said together.

Naruto and Hinata:

Naruto and Hinata's rings were the same rings used by Minato and Kushina: for Hinata a silver band with an opal in the middle, and for Naruto, a silver band engraved with the Uzumaki swirl and the Konoha leaf.

"I, Hyuuga Hinata, take you, Namikaze Naruto, to be my lawfully wedded husband," She said as she slid the ring onto his finger, "To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better of for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish as long as e both shall live."

"Hyuuga Hinata, I give myself to you to be your husband," Naruto said as he placed the ring on her finger, "And I promise to love and sustain you in the convenant of marriage, from this day forward - in sickness and in health, in plenty and in want, in joy and in sorrow, as long as we both shall live."

"Under the eyes of the Lady Hokage, and the village of Konohagakure no Sato, we swear to honour our vows for as long as we live!" They said together.

Sakura's P.O.V

"With the village as my witnesses, and the blessings of my predecessors," Tsunade said as she looked towards the crowd, "I pronounce these two couples, Husbands and Wives."

Sasuke leaned in and kissed me, and I knew that Naruto had done the same to Hinata. We began our descent from the stage and back down the aisle, where I knew that Tsunade-shishou had gotten us a carriage to ride back to the house. everyone else was going to follow behind us, and Kakashi-sensei and the others were going to get the reception started, while Hinata and I took of some of the layers of our kimono.

Thanks again for reading, and I once again apologise for the long wait for this chapter, but I had a lot of Coursework to do.

Read and Review :)
