It's been way too long! Sorry I haven't been working on this story but I hate leaving things unfinished so I'm will do my best to finish this properly. :)

Ed reached up and pulled on his shirt collar anxiously for what seemed like the hundredth time that day.
"You keep doing that and you're going to rip it." Peter scolded from behind him. Ed glanced back with a small glare.
"I can't help it, I'm just ready to get this started." His older brother chuckled.
"Don't wish it away too fast." Before Ed could retort the piano began playing and the doors at the back of the church opened. Susan and Lucy walked up the aisle arm and arm with Magnus and Kael, each of them smiling as they approached that altar before breaking apart. The guests stood and Edmund watched the doors intently for movement. After a beat the double doors opened once more to reveal Raelyn on the arm of Adam, her eldest brother. Ed's heart stuttered. Her copper hair was pulled back into a simple braid at the back of her head, effectively drawing the attention to her dress. The thin lace hugged her arms and torso like a second skin before the skirt billowed to the floor. Edmund smiled at the specks of glitter that littered the entire dress, causing her to sparkle as the lights hit it. His shining light, just as she should be. Raelyn caught his gaze and beamed, brightening the room even more. As she reached the end of the row Raelyn turned to Adam and pressed a kiss to his cheek. The man smiled down warmly at her then turned to Edmund, handing her off to him.
"She's your problem now." He quietly joked, patting the younger man on the shoulder. Raelyn rolled her eyes fondly and remained unperturbed. Nothing was ruining this day for her. If Edmund was honest, he didn't pay a bit of attention to what the priest was saying all through the ceremony. All he could focus on was the beautiful bride in front of him. The woman that he would soon get to call his wife. Not soon enough for Edmund, they finally got to the 'I do'. After both had proclaimed their acceptance of the union the priest announced that he could kiss his bride. Edmund heard that part loud and clear. With a wide grin he pulled Raelyn tightly to him and leaned his head to press a kiss to her pink lips. Raelyn grinned as they pulled away, the cheering of the crowd drowned out as she stared into her new husband's eyes. A small tear slipped out the corner.
"I love you Ed." She whispered, using her thumb to brush away the salty liquid on his cheek.
"Not as much as I love you." Edmund kissed her firmly once more.

At the reception everyone was milling around chatting happily while some couples headed to the dancefloor to celebrate. Edmund and Raelyn sat at the head table with one another, watching their friends and family with small grins.
"So do you think anyone would notice if we leave now?" Ed whispered. Raelyn sniggered and lightly smacked his arm.
"Ed, we can't do that. It's not polite." Her new husband grinned.
"It's our party. I think we should do what we like."
"We're staying a bit longer." Raelyn insisted gently.
"Whatever the wife wants I guess." Edmund grinned, quite liking that word. He leaned in to press a kiss to her lips, reveling in the new status. Leaning back Raelyn looked back out at the dance floor.
"So who would have expected that to match up?" She pointed out. Edmund turned his head and tilted it curiously as he spotted Raelyn's old flat mate Lindy dancing and laughing with Magnus.
"Well you always did say she needed to marry a chef. Safe herself from food poisoning."
"Yes, but I didn't figure my brother." Raelyn countered with a small grin.
"Do you mind?"
"….No….I think it's nice." She admitted. Edmund nodded thoughtfully, pleased that it wasn't going to freak her out. In a flourish he pushed out his chair and held out a hand.
"Dance with me?" Raelyn beamed and easily took his hand and let Edmund lead her out onto the dance floor. As the music slowed the couple wrapped their arms around one another, swaying gently.
"Still want to leave early?" Raelyn hummed. Edmund spun her around.
"No, I can stay here a bit longer." The new Mrs. Pevensie smiled and pulled him closer.
"Me too."
