Author's note-I had it all written, but
I never posted it because I thought no one liked it because of the lack of reviews.
But I read over the reviews, and I found one or two people had read it. And I will
keep writing as long as people are reading, and I am sorry it took you so long to
get this.
Luke sighed. "All right, let's get
ready. You don't want to be late for you own wedding, now do you."
"You are right." Han got out of bed and went into the refresher.
Luke decided Han needed him the most
right now, but he also needed to get ready himself. Besides, Han was in the
refresher. "Call me when he is about to get out of the refresher, please,
Chewie." Luke said, under his breath to Chewie.
Chewie growl-barked an ok.
"Thanks." Chewie said.
Luke raced to his quarters, which were by Leia's. Leia wanted it that way, so she could consult with Luke without the whole palace knowing she was up. Luke took the world's quickest bath and put on some clothes. As one of the people giving Leia away, AND Han's second best man (The first best man was Chewbacca and the third best man was Lando Calrissian.) Luke wasn't wearing a Jedi Cloak, he was wearing a formal suit with proper wedding trimmings, and his lightsaber was attached to the ceremonial belt.
Just as he put his last piece of clothes and trimming on he got the call from Chewie, the refresher had just turned off. "Great timing, Skywalker." He said, pleased that he had had time to get all his clothes on.
Luke ran to Han's apartment. He got there and found Han facing the mirror. He sighed, why couldn't his timing have worked a second time and have had him there BEFORE Han. "Hey, Han." Luke said, to alert Han to his presence.
"Kid! I thought you'd be with Leia."
"She is still dressing, I think. Besides, I need to spend some time with my best friend, who seems to need some advice."
"I am fine." Han said, giving Luke his famous lopsided grin. "Or at least as much as I ever get."
Luke rolled his eyes. "Whatever, anyways, let's finish getting ready. I need to get to the Reception hall and make sure everything is ready there."
Han laughed, "Poor you! It seems like you are handling every aspect of this wedding."
"Yeah, it seems that way to me too." Luke said, dryly. "Now why couldn't you and Leia have given me more time, so we could've had this done earlier."
Han laughed and slapped Luke on the shoulder. "Because we couldn't wait to tie the knot." Luke then felt Han freeze up. "Oh, no!"
"Han, what is the matter." Luke asked, anxiously.
"I forgot to plan a honeymoon, why didn't you remind me!"
"Relax." Luke said, "I took care of it."
Han took a deep breath, relieved. "Oh, thank goodness. Luke, we all need a friend like you, who remembers things we forgot." He said, breathing easily again.
Luke laughed. "I think, and hope, that is a compliment."
"Of course it is." Han said.
Before Luke could say something, his comm. tones rang. "Hey, Leia… okay…. Coming. Love you too…Yea, I will tell him… bye."
"What was that about." Han asked, when Luke closed the com-link.
"Leia says, I love you, nerf-herder and she needs me, over there, immediately."
"Tell Leia, I love you, too, your worshipfulness and in a few hours you will be mine." Han said.
"Will do." Luke said, saluting Han, and running out of his quarters.
"Hello." Luke said, reaching Leia's.
"Hey, Luke, come inside." Leia said.
Luke obeyed; he came inside to see his sister look more beautiful then he had ever seen her look. "Leia." He asked.
"Yes, brother dear." Leia said, shocked by the look on her brother's face.
Everyone else had seen the look, and faded out of the room. They saw that Luke needed some time with Leia.
"Leia, you are going to make a very pretty bride. The prettiest in the galaxy, if I do say so myself, and you made me very proud. I love you, sister dear."
Leia cherished those words. How had Luke known that is exactly what she had needed to hear? The she smiled softly, like he always did. He knew her inside and out, like she knew him, and she knew those words were sincere. "I love you Luke." She said, leaving all her make up, hair supplies, and jewelry behind and just rushing into her brother's arms. "You'll always be here for me, right?" Leia asked, she'd been worrying about this for a while, would Luke think that after she got married she wouldn't need him anymore?
"Of course." Luke said, kissing his sister's cheek. "No question about it. I know you will soon be married, but that doesn't change a thing between us."
The brother-sister moment ended there. "Now, sister dear, let's continue making you into the galaxies prettiest bride."
Luke and Leia chose jewelry for Leia to wear in silence, when Leia burst out. "But, will Han think I am gorgeous."
"Without doubt, cousin Leia." Stephaine said, coming inside and giving Leia a huge hug.
" Oh, Leia, Han says, I love you, too, your worshipfulness and in a few hours you will be mine. Now, if you will excuse me, there are catering, decoration, and a lot of other details I must oversee." Luke said, bowing.
Luke then ran from the room. "Poor Luke, we stuck him with SO much work, and so little time to do it in." Saty said, giggling.
"We did, didn't we." Alizabeth said.
Leia just giggled.
Luke entered the hall they were using for the marriage ceremony. "Oh, no." He groaned. The decorator hadn't arrived; the florist had just dumped the flowers in a box at the head of the altar, and these were only the problems in the marriage ceremony hall. Luke quickly set to work. The decorator had left a sketch of how the ceremony hall was supposed to look so, luckily for Luke had no decoration sense, they didn't have to rely on Luke's abilities. A little while later, Luke looked at the chronometer, it was only 3 hours before the ceremony was supposed to start. He rushed even more, if that is possible.
An hour later Lando arrived. "Luke, did you notice that the decorator hasn't arrived, and the reception hall is a mess, none of the tables are set up, none of the table cards are out. The only thing that is done is the flowers are in their vases."
"Lando, buddy, believe me, I know. I am in the marriage hall right now, and there is nothing done here either, I am rushing and trying to do it all myself. As you can probably guess, I have no time to chat.
Lando broke out laughing. "Listen, let me call ya some help."
Luke was surprised the thought hadn't occurred to him. "Yeah, call Stephaine, Alizabeth, Saty, and Chewbacca, as well as Leia's aunts."
"Done. Talk to ya later.
Lando was true to his word. In 10 minutes you had Saty, Stephaine, Alizabeth, Rogue, Rainier, Tia, Lando, and Chewbacca were all in the hall. "Oh, no." Rogue exclaimed. "I am going to kill that decorator."
"Later, Rogue, first we need to get the situation under control." Tia said. "Everyone, look at the data pad Luke has and start working. Double Speed! Once this room is done, come to me and get the sketch for the reception hall. Plus, Leia and Han do not need to hear about this yet."
"Aye, aye ma'am." Everyone chorused, and got to work.
It still took an hour to get the two rooms done, but this way they had 50 minutes before the ceremony had to start. "Good job, everyone." Saty said, panting.
"Yea, great job." Luke agreed.
