Ash stood in front of the minister with his bride, May. The maid of honor, Sakura, and the bride's maids, Misty and Erika, stood at May's other side. The best man, Lee, and the groom's men, Brock and Lt. Surge, stood at Ash's side.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today..." the minister droned on. Ash yawned in boredom, nearly falling asleep standing. May looked at him, smiling at the expression on his face. She put her arm through his, and trying to do it without anyone noticing, poked him in the ribs.

Yelping, Ash glanced at May, giving her a startled expression. She smiled innocently, turning back to the minister, ignoring the glare she was getting from him.

"Oh, huh, what?" Ash asked, an impatient voice rousing him up out of sleeping during the ceremony. The few kids in the pews giggled, while the adults scolded them, trying to hide their sniggers meanwhile.

May shook her head, embarrassed that Ash actually managed to annoy the minister, who had no temper what so ever. She frowned at him. 'And I'm suppose to marry this man?' she thought, rolling her eyes.

"Will you marry her or not?!" the minister snapped. Ash frowned slightly.

"Yes?" he asked. The glare that the minister was giving him intensified. Ash cringed. "I do.I do! Stop glaring at me!"

The tense silence that had filled the room broke, as everyone started laughing. May looked around, and smiled. Muttering, the minister continued the vows.

"I do," May said, with more calm then Ash had. He glanced at her.

With a sigh of relief, the minister finally said, angrily "Just kiss her, idiot!"

Ash, looking around dejectedly, bit his lower lip. May frowned at him. He shrugged, and shook his head. Stretching to the point of pain, May tried to get to his height. "What's wrong?" she asked into his ear.

"N-nothing," he mumbled. May knew they would be there for a decade if some one didn't finish, so she decidedly pressed her lips against his. Everyone who had been holding their breath, let it out in a great whoosh.

After a few minutes, May and Ash sat with Sakura, Lee, Misty, and Brock in the ballroom. Misty looked over at the dance floor.

"Why don't you go dance?" she asked. Ash and May looked at each other, then looked at the dance floor. They smiled.

Ash stood up and helped May up. They walked out onto the dance floor. The crowd parted to let them through.

The song that was playing was a slow one. They were close together.

Ash, who had never really danced like that, was having a little trouble. He kept stepping on May's shoes, making her wince. Every time he did, he'd apologize to her.

When the song stopped, they went back to the table. Ash sat down in his seat next to May. She looked around a little, then sat down.

A blue-haired woman walked up. "May?" she asked.

May turned around. "Luna?" May said.

"How you doing?" Luna asked.

"Good," May said.

"It's unbelievable that you married the pokemon master here," Luna said, nodding at Ash.

"Why is that?" May a sked.

"I don't know, it just is." Luna said, "Most women would faint at just the thought of marrying the him!"

"So? I didn't marry him because he became pokemon master. I couldn't

care less what job Ash has!"

Ash hugged May, holding her against himself. "Would you mind not talking about me like I'm not here?" he asked.

"We'll stop," May said, running a hand along his arm, to hold his hand.

"I think I'll go see Erika. Bye, May. Bye Ash," Luna said.

"Bye Luna," May said. Smiling, Luna walked away to find Erika.

They talked to some of the people at the wedding for the rest of the time. Sakura and Lee had to leave early, so they said good-bye and went.

Ash and May walked up to a Silver 2001 Saturn L300 Performance Sedan. He unlocked it and opened the door. "I didn't know you had a car, Ash," May said.

"I just got it last week," Ash said, "I also have a mansion that the league gave to me."

May got into the car and Ash shut the door. Houndoom barked in the back seat. He walked around the front and got in the driver's side.

Ash put the key in the ignition. The car roared to life. He turned the car out of the parking lot.
