Seto stood over Seraphim and poked her, she was still sleeping. "Rise and shine sweetheart," he whispered, nuzzling her ear.
Seraphim mumbled something incoherently and rolled over to face Seto. "But I'm still tired," she complained, pouting.
"But we're getting married today!" Seto chided.
Seraphim "hmph"ed and looked at her clock. "Well, we could get up now. OR, you could climb into bed with me and we can sleep until someone else comes to wake me up," she yawned proudly, nodding her head.
Seto cocked his head to one side, thinking. "Okay, I guess a nap wouldn't hurt. That way we won't be falling asleep at the altar," he sat down on the bed and pulled Seraphim closer to him.
"Yes! See, exactly! We don't want to fall asleep at the altar!" Seraphim echoed sweetly, cuddling up to Seto and promptly falling asleep.
About an hour later, Mai and Anzu walked up to Seraphim's room. Mai began pounding on Seraphim's door. "Seraphim! Are you up yet?" she hollered. "Okay! We're coming in!"
Opening the door, Mai and Anzu smiled. Seto and Seraphim were curled up together on Seraphim's bed, looking contented as cats.
"Oh, they look so cute!" Anzu whispered.
"I know, it's almost too bad we have to wake them up," Mai replied, walking over to the bed.
"Yeah," Anzu sighed. "Almost." Walking stealthily towards the bed, Anzu pounced. Jomping on the two sleeping forms. "Wake up! Or you'll miss your own wedding!" she shouted.
"Ow...what?" Seraphim opened her eyes sleepily.
On the other hand, Seto's instincts kicked in and he had leaped out of bed in a fighting stance. He looked around the room and saw his attackers. Mai and Anzu.
"Mai!" he bellowed. "Anzu! Don't scare me like that! I thought some psycho like Pegasus was coming!" Seto sighed and flopped down on the bed again. "G'morning," he said to Seraphim.
Seraphim giggled, "Good morning."
Yuugi and Jou had run up when they heard Seto yelling at the girls. "Is something wrong here?" asked Yuugi, poking his head in the door.
"Oh, no, it's just us waking Seto and Seraphim up," Anzu smiled sweetly.
Jou nodded. "Come on, breakfast is getting cold, and I didn't make it if you were wondering," walking out the door, he called, "And if you don't come fast I'm, gonna eat it all!"
They looked at each other and grinned. "Race you downstairs!" Seraphim yelled.
Soon, five people were rushing down the stairs and to the dining room table. (Okay, let me explain why everyone is here. As you know, everyone was off studying at college and came back for a reunion. BUT, I was looking at the ages and figured out that they have now just graduated from college. So they have nowhere to go back to. So I guess you could say they're hanging out at Seto's because of the wedding and he has the biggest house. And, all the others that HAD houses in Domino city, well...would you keep your house? If your parents were never around or something like that? Cause, let's face it, we never see anyone's parents. Only Sugoroku. And he's kinda old. I figured he'd have croaked by now. *shrugs* so there you have it, that is why everyone is always at Seto's house.)
"Yum! Pancakes!" Seraphim giggled.
"So, if you didn't make them, who did?" asked Seto, nodding towards Jou.
"Actually, the girls did, with Yug and Ryou's help. Me an Honda are terrible in the kitchen. Your brother was still sleeping when they did it. They decided not to wake him up," Jou explained.
Seto nodded, regarded a pancake suspiciously, and ate it. "Hm, they're pretty good girls," he commented.
"Thank you," Lillian replied. Everyone else was too busy stuffing their faces to comment that Ryou and Yuugi were not girls.
After breakfast, everyone jumped in the car and went down to the church to get ready for the big day. Seraphim had appointed Shizuka flower girl on request, even though she was really too old to be one. Mai was her maid (or maiden) of honor, and all the other girls were the bridesmaids. Seto had made Mokuba the ring bearer, which he had complained sorely about. Jou was his best man and Honda, Yuugi, and Ryou were the ushers.
The boys got dressed fairly quickly, they all wore tuxedos with a rose in the buttonhole matching the color of their gem.
The girls wore spaghetti strap gowns that hugged their forms and pooled a little at their feet. Also in their respective colors. Except for Lillian, who instead of white had an off-white cream color. As soon as they were dressed, the girls went to check on Seraphim.
She was struggling with the bodice of her dress. It was a two-piece strapless gown. The top hugged her torso and was a beautiful white satin covered with a layer of white lace with tiny pearls and diamond sewn in, making Seraphim sparkle with her every move. the problem was, she couldn't get the zipper up all the way, her hands just didn't twist that way.
With the help of Lillian, they got the zipper done. Then the skirt. The skirt was also pure white satin. It hugged her hips and flowed out gently into a short train, pooling at Seraphim's feet. Even though you couldn't see it, Seraphim's feet were adorned with shoes like the ones she had worn on the night Seto proposed, except they were also white.
The finishing touch was her hair and tiara. Her long locks had been pulled up into a bun with soft, short curling tendrils coming down here and there. Two curls framed her glowing face. The tiara was magnificent. It was made of tiny little diamonds and, in one place, had a multi-faceted diamond star. Not like Seraphim's diamond star (which was, actually kind of round), but still very beautiful.
A touch of lip gloss and eye shadow from Mai to a protesting Seraphim later, and she was done. Taking up her bouquet, which was made of pink- tipped white roses and baby's breath, Seraphim exited the room with the other girls whose bouquets were roses in their significant colors.
In another room, the guys were hanging out before the ceremony. Since it was SETO KAIBA getting married, many important people were coming to the wedding. It really was suffocating in the chapel itself, luckily, Seto had gotten a church that had some other private rooms where they could go to relax.
Popping open a bottle of champagne, Jou got out six glasses.
"Oh no!" Seto objected when he saw how many glasses Jou had taken out. "Mokuba is NOT drinking alcohol!"
"Aw, lighten up Seto, it's for your wedding!" Mokuba pouted.
"I know! And I also know you're probably going to have at least one glass at the reception!" replied Seto hotly.
Jou grumbled and took out a bottle of sparkling apple cider instead. "Meanie," he mumbled.
Swiping the bottle and glasses from Jou's hand, Honda proceeded to pour out the cider. "Well, who'd have thought that Seto'd be the first tog et married eh?" he asked as he passed around the glasses.
"Hehe, yeah. Who'd have ever thought he'd even get married?" Jou added.
"Hey!" Seto cried indignantly, "I can fall in love too you know." He crossed his arms.
"We know Seto, they were just joking," said Ryou, trying to avoid a fight right before the wedding. "No harm done."
"Well, here's to Mr. and the soon-to-be Mrs. Seto Kaiba," Yuugi raised his glass.
Cheers were heard from the room as they each drained their glasses.
Mai poked her head in the room. "We're starting you know!" she exclaimed irritably, "and we've been looking for you for forever!"
"Sorry Mai!" Jou trotted over to his girlfriend. "Come on guys, Seto has ta get married!"
Everyone got into place without mishap, thankfully. Everyone in the chapel began to settle down. It was a beautiful Saturday morning, and a soft breeze blew in from off the ocean.
Seto strode over to the altar to wait for Seraphim. The big day had finally come.
Yeah, and that would be that. You'll find out what happens during the wedding in the next chapter. ^-^ please read and review, thank you! :)
