Ok woman, now that you have heard your children, its my turn again. now I am just going to talk for awhile, maybe reflect on some things. First, I want to reflect on our wedding. That was the best, most screwed up day of my life. you looked so beautiful.....so beautiful....
***FLASHBACK***
"Mom, I can't believe this is happening!" Bulma squealed happily, smoothing her hair and dress.
"Oh honey its taken so long for you two to find your way to each other, its great its finally going to happen!" Mrs. briefs squealed in reply, fixing Bulma's veil over her face.
"Will he like me mom?" Bulma asked quietly, looking over herself in the mirror carefully.
"Honey, he is going to love you" Mrs. briefs gushed. Bulma blinked and looked at the engagement ring on her finger.
"I hope so mom, I really hope so"
"Dammit! what is taking that woman so very very long?" Vegeta snarled, crossing his arms. He had been standing at the alter for about 5 minutes now, awaiting his woman.
"Shut up vegeta" Yamucha,tien, Krillin, and Piccolo shot at him. The priest gave them a look, and all 5 of them shut up quickly. Then the organ started. ChiChi, Launch, Juuhachi, and Bulma's friend Karika came walking down the aisle. Their dresses were silver tubetopped, flowing down to the floor. Each matron carried a single pink rose. Then little trunks, little goten, and little marron waddled down the aisle together, Trunks and Goten as ring bearer, and Marron as flower girl. marron threw pink rose petals, mainly in the direction of Trunks and Goten, as Trunks held politely to her hand as they made their way down. Goten sniggered at his friend, whom was forced to hang tightly to marron. Vegeta gave his son a look of approval as he went to stand behind Piccolo, followed by Goten. Marron saw her mother and scurried over to her. Juuhachi bent over and picked up her little girl, immediately getting a ball of rose petals thrown in her face.
Vegeta looked apprehensivly towards the back of the sanctuary. Then,all of a sudden, there she was.
"D-d-d-b-b-b-mmmm.." Vegeta mumbled incoherently. All five men stared at the blue haired beauty coming towards them on her father's arm. Bulma's dress was pearl white, modest but gorgeous. It had short baby sleeves with a line of pearls at each end. it had a straight neck, showing almost no cleavage, but Vegeta already knew what was held under there. It was tight around the waist, and flowed to the ground in a 3 foot train. Bulma had very light makeup on, showing her natural beauty. her hair was dolled up in curls and pearls, her silk vail trailing down to her bottom, the front lacing over her face. When she and her father reached the alter, her father patted her hand and left her side to sit with her mother. Bulma bit her lip and took the two steps up the alter, finally meeting face to face with Vegeta. Bulma couldn't see Vegeta's face very well due to the lacy veil in front of her face, but Vegeta soon solved that issue. He lifted her veil, and his breath was taken away. Bulma looked apprehensively at him, waiting for his reaction to her. Vegeta just stared, unable to form words.
"ughoma...." he whispered, taking her hands in his.
"What?" Bulma whispered back. Vegeta shrugged and nodded to the priest, letting him know that they were ready.
"We are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Bulma Kumiko and Vegeta...vegeta" the priest began, and the ceremony continued.
'Now, you have chosen to say your own vows. you may state them" the priest said. Bulma looked at Vegeta, nodding him on.
"....Bulma, you...you mean very much to me. I, I am very blessed to have you and our son apart of my life. I cannot guarantee i'll always be Mr. nice guy, or that I will never hurt your feelings again. But I can guarantee I'll be there whenever you need me, and when I make you cry, I will fall all over myself to make it better again. That is my vow to you." Vegeta finished, smiling slightly at her. Bulma's eyes filled with tears, and the most sincere vow the proud prince was capable of making.
"Vegeta....you are everything to me. You and trunks, you give me the will to live one more day. If it wasn't for you, I don't know where my life would be right now. I wouldn't have our son, I wouldn't have a relationship, and most of all, I wouldn't be standing here at this alter with you right now. And, I must thank you so much for giving yourself to me on this day. I know it wasn't a simple task, but I want to thank you for opening your heart to me. I love you so much. Thank you"
Vegeta mouthed "love you to" before he turned back to the priest.
"The rings?" the priest requested. Trunks quietly walked up to his mother and held the ring up. Bulma bent down, kissed his forhead, and took the ring from him.
"So does this mean you and daddy won't try and kill each other no more?" Trunks said rather loudly. The church sniggered. Bulma smiled.
"We'll see baby" she laughed, and stood back up.
"Here you go mr veggie" Goten said, jumping up and down with the ring grasped in his hand.
"Hold still kid!" Vegeta said harshly. Goten immedieatly stopped dead in his tracks. Vegeta pried the ring out of his fist.
"Arigatou" Vegeta said curtly, and Yamucha took Goten's hand and pulled him away.
"Now, Bulma, repeat after me" the priest instructed. "I Bulma"
"I Bulma"
"Take you Vegeta"
"Take you vegeta"
"To be my husband"
"To be my husband"
"To have and to hold"
"To have and to hold"
"as long as I live"
"as long as I live"
"I Vegeta"
"I Vegeta NO OUJI"
"...take you bulma"
"Take you woman"
"...to be my wife"
"to be my...wife"
"To have and to hold"
"To have and to hold"
"As long as I live"
"As...long..as I live"
"Bulma, do you take Vegeta to be your wedded husband?" Bulma slipped the ring on Vegeta's finger.
"I do" . she spoke with little hesitation, quietly but boldly. Vegeta was a different story.
"Vegeta, do you take bulma to be your wedded wife?" Vegeta shakily put the ring on Bulma's finger.
"i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i d-d-d-d-d-d-d-o" he stuttered, turning red. Bulma giggled and looked lovingly at him. vegeta just blushed harder.
"I now pronouce you husband a wife, you may kiss your bride"
vegeta sighed heavily and grabbed Bulma, kissing her lightly. Bulma was the one that threw her arms around him, drawing him deeper into the kiss. Vegeta was surprised, but wrapped his arms tightly around her, not planning on letting go. They kissed for a few more seconds before they realized the church was completely silent. They slowly glanced out at the people, who were all staring wide eyed and not without a big ol' sweat drop over all their heads. Finally Goten broke the silence.
"EEEEW! TRUNKS YOUR MOM AND DAD ARE KISSING!!!!EEEEW!"
and everyone erupted in applause for the long awaited couple.
**END FLASHBACK**
......I love you Bulma.
~~~And with this ring our lives will start
swearing that we'll never part
I offer what you cannot buy
devoted love until we die~~~
