Chapter 2: Perfect Day
It was April already and the two lovebirds had finally set the date of the wedding and planned everything...Well Tomoyo did most of the planning. Their wedding was held April 7th, which was surprisingly today.
In a room that had only sunlight shining down through the windows, there laid a woman at age 18. She turned 18 last winter and today was her day to become something more than an adult. Today was the day she became a wife and someday in the future a mother.
Tomoyo Daidouji woke up with a little stir. She got up as gracefully as a swan if not more so. She smiled at what this day represents. Getting out of the queen size bed she went and brushed her teeth and got dressed. She was at her mother's mansion. Tomoyo kept that mansion in the memories of her departed mother. After she washed her face she walked slowly to the room where her wedding dress was hold.
The dress was in the middle of the room. It was gorgeous. To other brides it would look the same as theirs, but this was Tomoyo's. She had made it with rich fabric that Eriol had bought for her. He, as the soon to be husband, knew that Tomoyo would have never bought her wedding dress in a store so he brought fabric for her instead. She was screaming about how much she loved him for doing so.
(A/N: I can't describe the dress well if I haven't seen a wedding dress before.)
Still with a smile on her face she touched it. How beautifully smooth it was. Sighing happily she went downstairs and since she had fired all the servants she had to make some breakfast for herself. Since Sonomi died Tomoyo found no need to get servants. Besides Eriol is going to be all hers soon. Who needs some old maid if you can have your own guy to love?
Before she got ready to cook the doorbell rang. Tomoyo opened the door revealing Sakura, who came back from Hong Kong for the wedding. Following behind the maid of honor was Chiharu, Rika and Nakuru. Tomoyo said 'ohayo' to all of them and showed them in.
"Tomoyo have I told you how lucky you are?" Chiharu asked the bride.
Tomoyo smiled at them and nodded. "Yes about a million times. I don't get why you think I am lucky. I mean Sakura married Syaoran and is pregnant. You married Yamzaki and have fraternal twins. Lastly Rika and Terada is also married." Tomoyo said with stars in her eyes.
"Well come on the wedding is going to be in four hours and us girls still have to make you perfect...More perfect than you are already that is." Sakura said as they dragged the shining beauty back to her room.
Tomoyo wanted to tell them that she still had to eat breakfast, but they were just so darn happy that she couldn't say anything.
While Tomoyo and the ladies were getting ready Eriol Hiiragizawa was awaken by the ring of the doorbell. The blue-eyed man got his glasses and put them on. He took the cover off from him and headed downstairs. Nakuru had already gone to the future Miss Hiiragizawa and Spinel couldn't really open the door.
He was shockingly calm for a person who is about to get married to his destiny. Then again he IS the half reincarnation of a great sorcerer. The one that can be calm in any situation and the one that can smirk at death.
Eriol opened the door revealing his best man, Syaoran. Behind him were Yamzaki, Terada, and Touya. He motions them to come in.
"So Eriol are you at all nervous that you are going to be a married man soon?" Syaoran asked. He wanted to know because at his wedding day he was jumping all over the place. Pacing back and forth.
"No, I am perfectly calm thank you for asking. Why are you all so early? I am not a girl you know? I don't need four hours to brush my hair or anything that Tomoyo would be doing with the girls right now." He sat down at his "Throne of Evil''
"Well we know that, but our wives woke us up and we wanted to make you suffer with us." Yamzaki said laughing.
Soon it was time for Eriol and Tomoyo's wedding. They were having their wedding in a church. Eriol and Tomoyo were both in one of the rooms at the church.
Tomoyo had already worn the white wedding dress at her mansion. All she needed to do was survive till the wedding, which would be in 10 minutes. Since Tomoyo's father had passed away before she was born the one who was going to walk her down the isle was Fujitaka Kinomoto. He was always the father figure to her and when she asked him he was honored. He got the honor of walking down with Tomoyo so he can give her away to his other half. (A/N: Was it I or did that NOT sound right?)
Eriol who was looking over himself was needless to saying getting a little nervous. He started freaking out a little once they got to the church. It was just pre-wedding jitters that's all. Still something bad was going to happen he knew it.
He really wanted to talk to Tomoyo to see if she was going to back down when they were at the alter. So with his nerves he headed for Tomoyo's dressing room.
Tomoyo was just sitting there looking at the mirror. She wondered if this was the right thing to do. What if something goes wrong? She thought to herself. Before she can answer herself there was a knock on her door. She walked near the door and asked...
"Eriol are you scared too?" She asked. How she knew that it was Eriol was beyond anyone of the two.
"How did you know it was me?" He asked with a tint of teasing.
"Because I know you." Was her smart-ass reply. "Eriol I have a bad feeling about this. Maybe...Maybe we should just..." She tried to say, but couldn't. Tomoyo was waiting for this day too long she didn't want to postpone it.
"I know I feel something is going to go wrong to, but whatever it is we can get through it. I can't wait any longer to marry you. Please Tomoyo" Eriol for one was NOT calm right now. He was nearly begging his bride not to cancel the wedding.
Tomoyo sighed. He was right they CAN get through anything. She nodded to herself and told him that he should head to the front soon since the piano was playing already.
Eriol composed himself and walked up to the priest that was in front of the church. There weren't much people to watch this wedding only close relatives and friends. Next came the maid of honor and the best man. Sakura and Syaoran's arm linked as they walked slowly down the isle. Next came the other two couple Chiharu with Yamzaki and Rika with Terada. After them were Chiharu and Yamzaki twins. One was holding a pillow with two rings. The girl was throwing roses of petal down to the red carpet.
The next thing was the traditional piano playing the part where the bride comes in as the guests all stand to get a look at Tomoyo.
Fujitaka knocked on Tomoyo's door to tell her to come out because she was next. She slowly opens the door revealing her angelic face. Her hair was tied up in French braids and she was wearing a tiara. Her gown goes below her ankles. As she walked the dress on the back dragged behind.
He smiled at her fondly. He might not be the real father of Tomoyo, but he is just as proud as a father should be. "Let us go. Your soon-to-be husband awaits." He half joked as Tomoyo wrapped her arms around him. The music had just started for the bride to enter.
When she was at the door she can see Eriol looking at her loving and longingly. She and Fujitaka walked closer and closer to Eriol. Tomoyo did not feel any other eyes looking at her. She was busy glazing into Eriol's sapphire eyes that were shown with so much love.
Next thing she knew Fujitaka kissed her on the cheeks before handing her to Eriol. They smiled at each other as the priest start the ceremony.
(A/N: I have NO idea how that goes. I'll just skip to parts that I can remember from watching so much TV.)
"Does any one have any reason why these two should not be married? Speak now or forever hold you peace." The priest asked. This was the moment they dreaded. If nothing goes wrong in this part the rest was going to go smoothly. Tomoyo and Eriol looked around and landed on Syaoran. Even if he was the best man he still objected the wedding. After all those years he hadn't forgive Eriol for flirting with Sakura and hurting her. Syaoran looked back at them in shocked as if saying 'what? What did I do?' look.
"Okay the bride and groom had wrote their own vows that they like to share with each other. Young lady you may go first." Said priest Kyra. (Okay I got a name for him. He is important you know? So why not give him a name?)
Sakura handed a purplish paper. Tomoyo looked at it then at Eriol. Tomoyo then threw the paper to the floor. She thought so hard of those vows, but just repeating the words copied on paper will not do. What she needed to say could be expressed without thought. So she just spoke how she felt right then and there.
"Eriol...I still can't believe that you of all people is the one I fell for. I had always thought that I had already found 'The One' in someone else, but you proved me that THIS is what real, true love is like. I keep on thinking this is a dream..." Tomoyo said as Eriol shook his head to confirm this is happening for real. "...And when my mother passed away you were there for me. You knew what to do and how to make me better. I can spend the rest of my life with you, but I can never live without you."
She finished as more and more tears rolled down her pale face. Eriol looked at the tears and then with his backhand he wiped them away from her beautiful face. Goddesses like Tomoyo don't and will never look good in tears. Eriol had also written a vow, but decided that Tomoyo had the right idea. So Syaoran kept the paper folded in his pocket.
He took Tomoyo's shaking hands as she was still crying about what she had said. Taking a deep breath Eriol began to say how he felt. "You have no idea how long I loved you Tomoyo. When I came back in your life that spring day I would have never thought that you will ever give your heart to me. Kami knows how many times a day I think about your face. When your mother passed away my heart was twisting and turning because of your pain. I love you so much Tomoyo. I know that I can never live without you. You are my life." He finished as the great reincarnation of Clow Reed started to cry too.
Like the saying says 'Boys don't cry...Men do'. And Eriol is a man that is doing just that. They took awhile to stop the tears from coming. The guest was all sniffing and some eve crying like a baby.
Kyra the priest also had tears in his eyes. He wiped them away and continues the ceremony. "Now where are the rings?" He asked. Syaoran took out the rings and Tomoyo gladly took the ring she was suppose to slip on to Eriol's ring finger. "Repeat after me." He said to Tomoyo. She nodded. "I, Daidouji Tomoyo, take thee Hiiragizawa Eriol to be my husband. To love and to hold, for sickness and in health for all the days of our lives."
"I, Daidouji Tomoyo, take thee Hiiragizawa Eriol to love and to hold, for sickness and in health for all the days our lives." She finished as happy as can be as she slipped the ring on to Eriol's ring finger. Eriol smiled back at the piece of heaven he was holding.
"Now repeat after me." Kyra said looking at Eriol. He nodded still not taking his eyes away from Tomoyo's loving eyes. "I, Hiiragizawa Eriol, take thee Daidouji Tomoyo to be my wife. To love and to hold, for sickness and in health for all the days of our lives."
"I, Hiiragizawa Eriol, take thee Daidouji Tomoyo to be my wife. To love and to hold, for sickness and in health for all the days of our lives...And so much more." He added as he slipped the wedding ring on to Tomoyo's ring finger. Tomoyo laughed at what he had added. Yes this love will go on and on. Their souls will always be soul mates.
"I pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Kyra finished.
Eriol wrapped his arms around Tomoyo's slim waist and put his mouth into her's. The kiss was long and loving. Their first kiss as a married couple. They took awhile to pull away. The kiss could have been so much longer, but they have enough time after the reception to do that.
Holding onto each other's hands they walked to the people that were congratulating them.
Reception
Eriol and Tomoyo just cut two pieces of the wedding cake. Tomoyo took one piece and put it in Eriol's mouth that opened gladly. Eriol did the same thing only he did miss a little making Tomoyo's mouth cover with some frosting. He smiled at him wife as he kissed her on all the part of where the cake were. Tomoyo giggled as he did this. He shivered at the sound of her laughter. God how that voice can make him feel warm all over.
When that was done someone screamed that they should have their first dance as a married couple. Tomoyo and Eriol happily went over to the dance floor as a song came on.
They melted into each other's arms forgetting that they were the center of attention and continue dancing to the beat of their hearts.
