Edward was nervously trying to tie his tie. 'What if I screw this up?' he thought to himself.

Alphonse walked in with someone behind him. "Look who I found." His former teacher and her husband walked in.

"Who knew you boys could clean up so well." Izumi said. She noticed Ed's tie and began to tie it.

"Teacher, you made it." Ed said nervously. She noticed he was nervous, and ordered the other two out of the room.

"Now what's wrong?" Her glare would get the truth out of him.

"I'm worried that I'm going to screw this up. My parents weren't exactly the best role models for marriage."

"Edward, you love her so you won't intentionally hurt her, right?" Izumi questioned him.

"Yeah."

"But mistakes will happen. What matters is how you two work through them. Remember it's not about just you or just her anymore. It's about the two of you getting through life together." Izumi told Edward.

Edward pondered her words, and replied "But what if…"

Izumi grabbed him by his tie. "Look! You found a woman that is willing to tolerate you for the rest of your days! Get out there and marry her because you are not going to find anyone else that is willing to put up with you!"

"Yes ma'am!" She fixed his tie. The boys went outside to wait for the women to come down.

The music began, and the ladies began to come out. Elysia came down as the flower girl, and decorated the aisle with flower petals. When Edward saw his bride, his doubts washed away. The officiate asked "Who gives this woman away?"

Garfiel who had walked her down the aisle replied "Her grandmother and I do along with all her Rush Valley friends." The Rush Valley friends cheered. Winry took Edward's hand and Garfiel said "Take good care of her."

The officiate spoke kind words about love and what it was. She had them repeat their vows to one another. "With this ring, I, Edward Elric, take this woman, Winry Rockbell, to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, until death do us part." He slipped her wedding ring on her hand.

And Winry, with some tears building up in her eyes, repeated the same vow. "With this ring, I, Winry Rockbell, take this man, Edward Elric, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, until death do us part." She slipped his wedding ring on his hand.

The officiate announced "It is with great pleasure that I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Elric. You may now kiss your bride." They turned toward each other and just like they practiced last night, he kissed her gently and she opened her mouth to deepen it. Everyone cheered, and they pulled back blushing.

And so the party began inside the local inn. They ate, drank, and danced the evening away with their friends. And they got to do more wedding traditions. Winry threw her bouquet, and all the girls went for it, and it ended up falling into Nelly's hands. Then Winry sat in a chair by herself in the middle of the floor. Edward walked up to her and kneeled. "I swear, these traditions are just made to embarrass me."

Winry rolled her eyes. "Well, it's on the left leg. The higher it is, the more luck we're supposed to have."

"That's just superstition." Ed tried to get the garter by just feeling up her leg with his arms.

Mustang yelled "Go under the dress!" and all the men cheered for him, which made Edward's face go red. Winry laughed at him.

"Damn it!" He threw up her dress and stuck his head under to find the elusive garter. He saw her lacey underwear and stopped to stare.

"Hurry up Edward!" Winry hissed at him. He took the garter and slipped it down her leg, and came out to cheering and laughter. He helped Winry up, and the men gathered on the floor. He threw the garter behind him, and all the men backed up away from it except one. Alphonse was the only one who went for the prize, and was victorious.

And finally it was time for the bride and groom to depart for their home. Mustang and Riza drove down so they had offered to drive them from the inn to their home. People waited outside for and made an aisle for them to escape through. Once safely inside the car, they were driven home. Edward got out and helped Winry out since it was difficult to maneuver with a dress on. "Have fun, you two." Mustang said and then snickered.

Riza hit him softly on the shoulder, and she said to them. "It was a beautiful wedding. Enjoy your trip." And they drove away.

Edward and Winry walked up to their house. Edward had been staying there for a few weeks but this was Winry's first night. He opened the door and picked her up. He carried her inside, and up the stairs. It was a full moon and their bedroom was well lit by it. He set her down next to the bed. They both knew what was next but weren't sure how to proceed. She sat on the bed and started taking down her hair. He took off his jacket and tie.

"It was a great day, huh? The weather was perfect." Winry said trying to make some small talk.

"Yeah it was." He replied. Once all the pins were out of her hair, she moved her hair to fall over her shoulder. They took off their shoes. She stood up and put her arms around him. They kissed deeply and it turned very passionate quickly. He squeezed her waist, and she tightened her hold around his shoulders. She pulled away slowly.

"I need your help. Can you unbutton my dress?" She turned around. He started unbuttoning it and realized there was some other undergarment. Then he remembered the advice that was given to him.

"You looked beautiful today," he said quietly, glad that she was turned around.

"Thank you. You looked very handsome today." She told him while peering over her shoulder.

The dress fell after the last button was undone. She stepped out of it, and put it on a nearby chair with Edward's jacket on it. Winry was in a corset and underwear, and saw her new husband staring at her. She closed the short distance between them, and they kissed again. She started unbuttoning his shirt. He took it off, trying not to break their lips apart. He took his belt off, and she went for his pants button and zipper until they fell to the ground.

"We should get in bed." He said.

"Untie this first." She turned her back to him. He untied the bow and could see how to loosen it. Once it was loose, he kissed the nape of her neck. Winry moaned. When he released her, she pulled the corset off over her head, and got into bed. He got into bed on the opposite side.

They had been waiting so long for this moment, and it was finally here. They laid down next to each other and started kissing again. His hand went to her waist and pulled her closer. Her leg moved to be on top of his hip. Their hands were moving all over each other, discovering new places. Edward remembered more of the advice he had received. 'Start from the head and work my way down,' he thought.

Edward gently nudged Winry to lay on her back so that he could explore easier. He took off his underwear, and she took off hers. He got on his hands and knees on top of her. He kissed her mouth, and then moved to her neck. Winry lay there and moaned his name. He moved down to her breast and sucked on her pink nipple slightly. Winry's back arched. She put her hands through his bangs. Then he moved to her other breast and repeated the action.

Edward continued his journey kissing a trail down her abdomen until he reached his destination. She parted her legs more to allow better access. He kissed her area of pleasure, and he heard her take a sharp breath. Her toes wiggled and her hands clenched the bed as he sucked on her and flicked her nub with his tongue. He took his mouth off and parted her lips. Then he slowly put in a finger and moved it in and out. She moaned in pleasure. His member was throbbing. It wanted to get in her and pound away but he had to be patient. He didn't want to hurt her.

"Edward, wait," Winry said. He looked up at her face. "I'm ready," she said. His eyes got large as he realized what she meant. His erection throbbed in anticipation. He moved up to reach under his pillow. He pulled out the condom and a small bottle. Winry noticed he had prepared for this moment. "Is that a lubricant?" she asked.

"Yeah, I was told it would make it easier," he replied. Winry took the lubricant and applied it to herself while Edward put on the condom. Once he had it on, she put lubricant on his penis. He groaned as her hand stroked him. She released him so he could continue.

Winry moved her pelvis so her opening was higher. Edward positioned himself just in front of her opening, and started sliding in. Winry winced a little bit at the new sensation of pressure. Once he was fully in, he looked at her face. He noticed she looked uncomfortable. "Are you okay?" he asked. She nodded and told him to continue.

Edward moved in and out really slow. Winry seemed to relax some after a few moments. She was getting adjusted to him. Edward started going a little faster. Winry started to feel pleasure and moaned quietly. Edward changed positions and got on his forearms. He kissed her passionately and she felt her hands going up and down his back encouraging him to continue his thrusts.

'Damn it! I'm not going to last much longer,' Edward thought as his thrusts picked up speed. His body pumped fast. They could hear their skin slapping against each other. And then Edward couldn't stop. He pounded in her hard and deep as he released himself. He closed his eyes and grunted. His head fell next to hers as his breathing slowed down. He couldn't help the grin on his face because he felt so relieved.

Edward kissed her and looked into Winry's eyes. She had an adoring look in her eyes and they kissed gently. He rolled off of her and got out of bed to dispose of the condom. Winry couldn't believe that it was over but she had been warned by her friends that the first time for a man was often quick until they got used to the feeling.

Edward returned to bed and laid on his back. Winry moved to snuggle him. Her head laid on his chest. He then realized something. "You didn't finish, did you?" he asked her.

"No, but it's fine. I'm really happy right now. It was a lot to take in," Winry said.

Edward chuckled. "Did you mean to make a pun there?"

Winry giggled and said "Maybe." She liked teasing him. After snuggling for a little bit, they got up and got ready for bed.

The next morning, the alarm rang on the bedside table. Edward groaned and reached out to shut it off. He turned and looked at a sleepy Winry opening her eyes slowly. Edward saw her in the morning light and thought that she was even more gorgeous then yesterday in her wedding dress.

Winry then complained "Why did we pick an early train to go on our honeymoon?" She went to get up and Edward grabbed her arm and brought her closer to him. He kissed her neck and then nuzzled her shoulder.

He whispered in her ear "Do you want to?" She nodded.

"Hold that thought. I have to do something first." Winry said as she got up and Edward made a vain attempt to keep her in bed. "I'll be right back," she said and he groaned but smiled.

Winry went to the bathroom to pee and noticed a few pink spots in her underwear. She realized it was probably from having sex last night. She took off the underwear since she was about to anyways.

Winry made it back in bed and Edward pounced on her. This time he made sure that she finished first before he even penetrated her. Edward and Winry soon made a rhythm, and Winry was feeling the pleasure of making love with her new husband. There was no pain this time. Their bodies fit perfectly together.

After making love, Edward and Winry got ready and made it to the train station. Alphonse saw them. "There's the two lovebirds," he said teasing them. Granny, Al, and Mei made it to the train station to send off the couple.

Edward and Winry said their goodbyes to Granny, Al, and Mei. Granny told Edward, "You take care of her now. Bring her home safely."

Edward said confidently "I will. Don't worry." He smiled at Granny. Winry was a little annoyed but she kept quiet until she and Edward were on the train and they had left the station.

Winry told Edward "I can't believe that she wants you to take care of me. I can take care of myself." Winry folded her arms.

"I know Winry and that's one of things that I like about you," Edward told his new wife. She looked surprised that he was so forward. He continued "But you've taken care of me so much. So let me take care of you for a little while. It's not just about you or me anymore. It's about how we both get through life together."

"Edward, that was really sweet," Winry said. She was dumbfounded that he could say something that meaningful.

Edward put his hand behind his head. He was a little embarrassed. "Well Teacher told me that yesterday." Winry snuggled into him, and he put his arm around her. The train continued on its journey.

Author's note: So the part about when Edward tossed the garter and all the men backed away, this happened at my wedding! It was pretty funny that they all avoided it.
