The Diamond Star
Chapter 25: Wedding Bells Have Rung
Disclaimer: I don't own YGO or it's characters. Everything I make up is mine. Thank you and good day.
The traditional wedding march began and Mokuba trotted down the aisle with two small velvet boxes. One was white and one was dark green. Seto and Seraphim had agreed to get the other's wedding rings separately and surprise each other on their wedding day.
Mokuba actually looked quite handsome as he walked down the aisle. At least, that's what Shizuka, who was next in line, thought. He had asked her out the previous Saturday.
Shaking the thoughts from her head, Shizuka started down the aisle, throwing light pink and white rose petals to the crimson carpet.
Mokuba turned around from his place beside Seto and grinned at her. Shizuka blushed and grinned back. When she was about half way down the aisle, Mai began walking. She smiled at Jou who was also standing next to Seto, along with Honda, Yuugi, and Ryou.
Second, Lillian began the aisle march. Then Anzu, then Mary-Anne. Finally, it was time for Seraphim to make the long walk.
It was kind of sad while they were planning the wedding, since her parents died, and since Seto's parents were dead too, there was no male figure to give her away. Then, they had gotten a letter from Isis and Malik saying they could make it to the wedding as long as they went incognito.
Seto had asked Malik on the side of he would "give" Seraphim away in place of her father. Malik had said he would be delighted to. Seraphim had been so happy when she found out. She could have a normal wedding, albeit a enormously rich one, but normal all the same.
All the people in the church rose as Seraphim and Malik began the long walk down the aisle. Seraphim had, surprisingly, not been seen in public. There was perhaps one picture of her, and that was when she was all bundled up because it was cold and wearing sunglasses.
All the people in attendance gasped when they saw the beautiful bride. Seraphim was grinning ear to ear at Seto, who had turned around to watch her. All of the wedding party was smiling at the happy couple who seemed oblivious to everything around them except for closing the distance between each other.
Malik led Seraphim up to the altar and took a seat beside his sister to watch. Isis smiled at her brother, he was turning into a pretty good guy after all.
The minister began the marriage ceremony. Everyone had developed their slight psychic abilities and were having a fun telepathic conversation to pass the time until the exchanging of the rings.
'So, what kind of ring did you get her, huh Seto?' asked Jou.
'Something nice,' Seto replied, sending out a vibe that resembled a smirk.
'She got you a REALLY nice ring,' Lillian giggled. 'We were there when she bought it.'
'Shut up Lil! You'll give it away!' Seraphim chided.
'Sorry,' Lillian apologized.
'Let's play truth or dare!' Honda suggested.
'No! He's almost to the part with the rings. We'll look so stupid if he asks us for the rings and we're still in the conversation and not listening to a word they're saying!' Mokuba scolded.
Homda sent out a "humph" vibe. 'Fine, let's not play truth or dare.'
At that moment, the minister asked Mokuba to present the rings. The white box was given to Seto, and the dark green one was given to Seraphim.
Each of them opened the box and proceeded to place the ring on the other's left ring finger.
Seto's ring from Seraphim was a deep gold color. A glittering diamond rested on it with tiny emeralds leaves embedded into the ring itself in a vine and stars pattern. the deep gold and emerald colors set off the light clarity of the diamond, making it sparkle even more. Seto couldn't believe that Seraphim had found such a ring. With such a pattern engraved on it. Seraphim's hand brushed against Seto's as she shyly slipped the ring onto his finger.
Seraphim's ring from Seto was a simple white platinum band, but when you looked closer, coincidentally, it had small engravings of stars and vines on the outside. The stone was a diamond, of course, but its facets were amazing. It sparkled in the light just right and twinkled magically. Crystal clear and shining brightly. Beside the diamond, on each side, were two slightly blue tinted diamonds shaped like many pointed stars. They were smaller, but just as beautiful.
Seraphim gasped, she couldn't help it. Seto smiled and slipped the ring onto her finger, resisting the urge to kiss her hand in the chivalric manner.
Seraphim, who was reading his thoughts, giggled at the thought. 'Maybe later,' she chided.
Seto grinned smugly, like a kid that's been given an early Christmas present.
Soon, they reached the part where Seto and Seraphim said their vows. This was it. They would finally be married. It felt like only yesterday they had met.
Then, the minister was talking again. "Do you, Seto Kaiba, take Seraphim Hoshino to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"
Seto looked at Seraphim. 'What if I said no?' he asked playfully through their telepathic link.
'Seto!' Seraphim wailed.
'Jeez, I was just joking,' Seto grinned. "I do."
"And do you, Seraphim Hoshino, take Seto Kaiba to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" the minister looked at Seraphim.
Seraphim smiled mischievously. "I do," she said. And then, through the mental link, 'and even after that.'
"If anyone has any objections to the union of these two, speak now or forever hold your peace," said the minister, looking around.
No one spoke. "Then, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Seto swept Seraphim close to him. "Finally," he whispered.
"Just shut up and kiss me," Seraphim replied.
"Gladly," said Seto as he lowered his lips onto Seraphim's.
After a few moments, whoops and catcalls came from the male section of the bridal party. "Go Seto!" Jou shouted, just before he was silenced by Mai's left shoe connecting with his head.
That pretty much shut up the rest of the men, for fear of shoes hitting them in more vital areas.
Unfortunately, everyone needs to breathe, even half-angels and gem guardians. So, reluctantly, Seto and Seraphim broke apart and smiled at each other.
"I love you," Seto whispered into Seraphim's ear amid the cheering of the audience.
"I love you too," Seraphim grinned as she looekd out over the sea of people, most of which she and Seto didn't even know.
"Seems like forever since we started this," Seto mused.
"Yeah," Seraphim leaned her head against Seto's shoulder as they began walking out of the chapel to take some wedding pictures.
The photographer was Isis in disguise. "Hey guys, smile for the birdie," she said, grinning as she snapped a picture of the happy couple.
"Okay, a few group shots now!" she called. everyone gathered around Seto and Seraphim.
"One...two...three...smile!" Isis took about six or seven group shots. Three each of each "couple." Everyone had kind of paired off. Shizuka and Mokuba. Anzu and Yuugi. Jou and Mai. Honda and Lillian. And Ryou and Mary-Anne. Then Isis got some shots of the happily married couple.
"Done," she said smiling. "Now, wasn't that fast?"
"The best," Seto smiled, tipping Isis.
"We have to get to the wedding reception!" Seraphim exclaimed happily.
"Yes we do, Mrs. Kaiba," Seto looked down at Seraphim.
"Mrs. Kaiba. I like the sound of that," she smiled at her husband.
"So do I," Seto beamed.
"Come on guys! You'll miss your limo!" Jou called.
Amid a crowd of people blowing soap bubbles (throwing rice kills birds) Seto and Seraphim got into the limo with the rest of the bridal party to go to the wedding reception.
"Well guys, a toast to you!" Jou cried, pulling out the bottle of champagne Seto hadn't let him open earlier.
"NO! Not until the reception," Seto said sternly, swiping the bottle from Jou's hands.
"Rats, foiled again," Jou pouted.
Everyone laughed as the limo began to move to the hotel where they were hosting the reception. Seraphim leaned against Seto to rest her eyes for a minute. "I love you," she mumbled again.
Everyone laughed when Seto blushed and mumbled it back to an already fast asleep Seraphim.
Seto glared at everyone. "Wake her up before we get there, and die," he stated plainly.
Everyone nodded solemnly, trying to contain their laughter as the car drove off into the early morning light.
Yeah...that was kinda cheesy. Sorry. Read and Review fast so get more chapters! Yay!
