A/N: Hey!! I'm very early today. I just finished the last chapter, and I'm starting this one before I even post it up!! Good job to me, eh? But anyways, this chapter is mainly on the wedding. And about Tomoyo's lil private business. So, on with the wedding!! (Review!! And many thanks to those who did.)
The next morning, Sakura woke up.
"Oh my god. It's my wedding day. I'm ACTUALLY getting married. To Syaoran. Oh my god. It's my wedding day. I'm GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!" Sakura screamed.
It had been a day of lasts for yesterday.
The last day she was single.
The last day she slept in her own bed in her room in her house all alone.
The last day she partied without worrying about Syaoran.
The last day of being Sakura Kinomoto.
The last day before she would be married.
She quieted down and looked at the clock.
It was only 6:00, and she had to be at the chapel to get ready by seven, since the ceremonies started at 11.
Sakura got out of the bed and dressed casually in jeans and a sweater.
"Dad! Touya! I'm going to the get ready for my wedding, okay?" Sakura shouted.
She got into her car and drove to the wedding place, and saw it busy with people putting chairs and decorations.
"Sakura! Finally!" Tomoyo exclaimed.
She was looking rather haggard, with a clipboard and pen stuck in her ear.
"You need to get your nails done-go to room 201. Go down the hallways and turn right, okay? No, no, no, that's not how it's done." Tomoyo was bellowing out directions and orders.
Sakura smiled and walked into the nail room.
A lady was waiting there and gave Sakura a perfect French manicure in ten minutes, then a lady did Sakura's hair in curls and braids and stuck flowers in and stuff.
Afterwards, around 9 (it look a long time to do Sakura's hair), Sakura went to the Dress room, where she changed into her wedding gown.
"You look beautiful!" Chiharu exclaimed.
Sakura smiled, "Thank you. So do you," she said to Rika and Naoko.
Chiharu suddenly coughed and held out her hand.
There was a diamond ring on her fourth finger, and they all squealed.
"Yamazaki proposed? How SWEET?" they all exclaimed.
"I SPECIFIALLY ORDERED CHERRY BLOSSOMS!! HOW COULD YOU BRING LILIES? DO YOU WANT ME TO SUE?" Tomoyo's voice rang clear through the door, "Yes, I know lilies are pretty, too. BUT THIS IS NOT A LILY WEDDING!! IT'S A CHERRY BLOSSOM WEDDING!! Now I want you to bring what I asked for before I call my lawyer."
Tomoyo shook her head as she walked into the dress room.
"Oh my gosh, Sakura, you're absolutely beautiful. I would film you, but I'm too busy, as you can probably hear," Tomoyo's cell phone rang and she waved goodbye as she walked out the door.
The girls were laughing, as Sakura wiped a tear from her eye, saying, "That poor flower man."
At 10:30,everything was perfect.
The chairs and decorations were set up, the priest was behind the altar, and people were filling in.
Of course, they had dress rehearsals, but nevertheless Sakura was nervous.
"No, Syaoran, you can't come in!" Rika's said, blocking the door, "You know it's bad luck to see your bride before the wedding," she said.
"Then can I just talk to her?" Syaoran pleaded.
"If you look at her, I will personally stab you with a knife," Rika said, and let him through.
Syaoran was covering his eyes with his hands, and tripped over a hangar that was lying on the ground.
He turned away, so that he could see without looking at her.
"Rika, could you leave?" Sakura hinted.
"Sure thing."
"Sakura.I can't believe we're actually getting married. I love you, okay?" Syaoran said.
"Me too. I love you more. But now we're going to be married.and I'm have your child. Who would've thought?" Sakura said, smiling.
"Okay. I'll see you later, okay?" Syaoran said, and went out.
Rika, Chiharu and Naoko came back in with Tomoyo.
"Final checklist. Do you have.
Something borrowed, something blue Something old, something new?"
"Borrowed?"
"Check," Sakura said pointing at her jewelry which Tomoyo so kindly lended her.
"Blue?"
"Check. My underwear and bra," Sakura giggled.
"Old?"
"My dress. Check."
"New?"
"My earrings."
"Your set to go. We start in FIVE!" Tomoyo said, and outside, they got lined up.
"I hope the cameraman is doing a good job," Tomoyo murmured to Sakura.
Sakura smiled at her.
She could hear the band starting, playing Canon in D major as the flowerchild and ringbearer walked up.
Yamazaki and Tomoyo walked, in beat, to the altar.
Finally, the bridesmaids walked up, linking arms with their guys who walked up with them.
Lastly, Sakura and her father linked arms and got ready to go in.
The band changed music to "Here comes the Bride".
Sakura slowly walked in through the white double doors, as the audience stood to receive her.
She smiled at them, radiant.
She saw her brother trying not to cry, but other people were openly weeping.
Sakura saw Syaoran at the altar, and when she got there, he took her from her father.
Fujitaka went and sat down next to Touya and patted his son on the back.
Syaoran squeezed Sakura's hand, and they both smiled at each other.
"We are here today to celebrate the changing from two lovers to man and wife. (a/n: yeah, I know that doesn't make sense.) Blah blah blah. (A/n: of course, he didn't really say that)." "Sakura Kinomoto. Do you take, Li Syaoran as your husband in times of trial, through better or worse, through sickness or health, and through poorness or riches?"
"Yes. I do." Sakura said.
"And do you, Li Syaoran, take Sakura Kinomoto as you wife, to take care and love, in times of trial, through better or worse, through sickness or health, and through poorness or riches?"
"Yes I do," Syaoran said.
"Then I now pronounce you, HUSBAND AND WIFE!! You may now kiss the bride," the priest said.
Syaoran took Sakura in his arms and bent over to kiss her.and they kissed.and they kissed.and they kissed.and they kissed until they finally ran out of air.
Sakura and Syaoran linked arms as they walked back down the aisle, people throwing rice at them.
Sakura threw her bouquet, and Tomoyo caught it.
"Ooh, I wonder who you'll marry!" Syaoran teased.
Tomoyo shrugged and smiled.
Riding the limousine, they rode to the banquet place where the reception was just starting.
People danced, people laughed, people ate.
Afterwards, Sakura changed into normal clothes, and they got ready to go to America!
Sakura's bags were already packed, and so Sakura and Syaoran would be spending a month in the USA.
Riding in the same limousine, they waved goodbye to family members and friends as Tomoyo, Sakura and Syaoran left for the airport.
Sakura and Syaoran were talking and laughing by themselves as Tomoyo wrote something in her diary. (This is where her private business is revealed.)
"Dear Diary. And so Sakura and Syaoran are married. Today is the first day of my journey-my quest to find the love of my life, Eriol. I know I can find him, I know he's somewhere in America. As S&S find Sakura's mother, I'll search for Eriol, and I will find him. And I still love him. Gotta run- Tomoyo. P.S. Did I tell you that I got the bouquet?"
(A/N: so in other words, she's looking for Eriol.)
The plane trip was boring, and at 4:00 p.m. in LA (Sunday.since time changed and all, and they crossed through the International Date Line and crossed through time changes), all three haggardly got a cab to the Ritz Carlton.
Sakura and Syaoran got a king bed suite equipped with a bar, separate parlor and etc. It was huge.
Tomoyo got her own room right next to theirs, but of course, it was much smaller.
They said their goodbyes as they retreated for the day, and Sakura said to Syaoran, "Don't you think Tomoyo was acting kinda weird? I mean.you don't think she felt left out or anything, right?"
Syaoran answered, "She just needs a boyfriend of her own. Let's find her one, okay? Now let's sleep.I'm tired," Syaoran said.
"Okay. Good night," Sakura said.
They had already changed into their pajamas.
Because of the time difference, it was 2 am in Japan, so they were exhausted.
"Good night?! This is our wedding night!" Syaoran said, trying to.well, you know what I mean.
"Yeah, I know. We got married today," Sakura said.
"Yeah, me too. But it's our wedding night," Syaoran said.
"I know!! Today was our wedding day, and tonight is our wedding night."
"So.aren't we going to do what most couples do on their wedding NIGHT?" Syaoran asked.
"Oh! I get what you mean!" Sakura said, laughing.
Of course.she's so dense she just go the meaning.
"No, I don't want to. Our wedding night was on my birthday," Sakura replied.
"What?!?!"
"And I wouldn't feel right doing it with our baby growing inside my tummy. I mean, I would feel guilty as if our baby had seen the whole thing," Sakura said.
"Grrrr." Syaoran said.
"After the baby. Okay?" Sakura said, giving him a sweet look.
"Grrr." Syaoran growled.
"I take that as I yes," Sakura replied and went to sleep.
A/N: Done with this chapter in less than two hours! Now I just need to upload it on FF.net. Hmm.next chapter is a little more focused on Tomoyo and her search for Eriol. It kinda goes back in time and will have a lot of flashbacks. Review!!
