Httyd 3

The first battle the Grimmel was over. Everyone looked exhausted. It hadn't been an easy fight and Hiccup couldn't forget how close he had come to losing Astrid. If his mother hadn't been in the right spot… he couldn't think like that. But it made him think of other things. "Fishlegs I need to talk to you for a sec."

"Sure" Fishlegs followed him away from the group.

"Did you finish your training with the officiator?"

"Yes a few months ago. What would you need that for?"

"If Astrid will agree… I was thinking of marrying her now before anything else can happen."

Fishlegs was still standing in shock when Hiccup walked away and pulled Astrid away from the group.

"Astrid...Will you marry me? Now?"

"Now? Hiccup we were just in a battle. We have things to do and …"

"I know but I almost lost you. I don't want to have any regrets. I love you and if you say no that's fine. But for me…. I want to me bound to you."

She watched him thoughtfully, "Your going to make me leader of defending our people aren't you? No matter what my answer is." He only nodded, knowing that she already knew anything he would say. "We don't have an officiator or… well a lot of time. You know the council members will demand that we… you know."

"I know and this isn't even close to what i had envisioned for us. You deserve so much better."

"I just want you. I always have."

He pulled her close, kissing her, "When are we getting married milady?"

"Now."

"Sounds good to me. Find your parents and meet me here in five minutes." he kissed her again before hurry off to find the right people. Soon the riders, Dagur, Mala and Heather were waiting with Hiccup. Eret and Gobber had been sent to set up a tent far from everyone else. Fishlegs was fidgeting next to Hiccup. "Fishlegs please calm down. I'm already on edge."

"Sorry this is my first one all by myself and it's probably the most important union I'll ever do."

"It's just us Fishlegs. Your friends."

Hiccup's mother came through the woods, "The bride is coming."

Hiccup took a deep breath. Gobber came out first and gave Hiccup a thumbs up. Then Astrid's mother came out and stood next to his mother. Hiccup's breath caught as she walked out on her father's arm. Their mothers must have braided some flowers in her hair. She was still wearing her battle armor but then again so was he. Her father gave him her hand. They looked at Fishlegs and he began. "Today we come before the Gods to bless a union of amazing love. Do you Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third child of Odin of free will bind yourself to Astrid Hofferson?"

"I do."

"Do you Astrid Hofferson daughter of Freya of your own free will bind yourself to Hiccup Haddock?"

"I do."

"Then I as officiator of Berk declare you married. Your union only to end by the will of the Gods at Odin's table."

Hiccup grabbed Astrid's left hand and slid a ring on to her ring finger. He kissed her before she could ask any questions. Everyone applauded and crushed them in a hug.

When they could breathe again Hiccup cleared his throat, "I know it was sudden but thank you for being here with us. I'm beyond please to introduce for the first time, my wife and Chieftess of Berk. Astrid Haddock!"
