One Month Later…

It was the day of Haruka and Michiru's wedding and everyone was bussing themselves over random tasks in the Mansion where the wedding was to be held that evening.
Mamoru had just arrived back to Tokyo from America a few days ago, he was to stay until he had to go back in three months.

After Haruka had changed into her Tux, Shukensha and Mamoru entered the dressing room.

Haruka wore a traditional black tux as well as black dress shoes to go with her outfit.
She didn't even need to think twice when the thought of wearing a dress crossed her mind; her answer was simply no,this was a special day for Michiru and herself and the last thing she wanted to do was be uncomfortable, let's say the idea of frills and ribbons didn't exactly fascinate her.

She smiled admiring herself in the mirror as Shukensha and Mamoru came on each side of her and gave her a friendly slap on the back as Haruka was adjusting her collar.

"You look great Haruka-san." Mamoru and Shukensha said

"Arigatou." She said with a chuckle

Shukensha handed her a bottle of expensive cologne that Haruka had requested earlier.
Sill watching herself in the large mirror she sprayed it a few times before handing it back to Shukensha.

Meanwhile in Michiru's room.

After Michiru put her dress on, she was startled by Setsuna who walked in with arms full of rose petals and a grin on her face.

Michiru gave her a questioning look "What are those for?"

Setsuna came forward and released the large pile of rose petals and showered them over Michiru. Both of them giggled before Setsuna spoke again. "No reason, I just gathered them from the Rose bush out back, anyway, how does it fit?" The garnet eyed woman asked as she lifted Michiru's aqua locks of hair to hold and brushed some of the petals that had fallen on Michiru's shoulders while she fitted the wedding dress.

The dress was a was a beautiful white strapless gown that hugged at her curves and complimented her slender body. The bottom of the dress however was wide and loose covering her feet.

When Setsuna adjusted the zipper on Michiru's gown she sighed and decided to put Michiru's hair in the same style as her own.

Setsuna grabbed a brush and ran it through Michiru's wavy hair.
"So how is everything so far? find everything to your liking?" Setsuna asked

Michiru smiled while she admired herself in the mirror.
"Beyond my liking, everything's so…perfect; I've never been so exited." Michiru said as she felt butterfly's well within her stomach

"Well of course it is hun, it's your wedding day and you're marring the love of your life, It was the same way for me." Setsuna said softly as she finished putting the bun in place on Michiru's head

Setsuna came to the side of Michiru making sure the curls were in place.
"It's hard for me to believe this is really happening." Michiru closed her eyes and smiled to herself

Setsuna made her way over to the closet and pulled out a pair of three inch heels and placed them next to Michiru and as the beautiful Soldier of Embrace elegantly slid her feet into them.

"Well, after everything the both of you have been through… you u both deserve this." Setsuna reassured her as she removed a brand new set of earrings from her dress pocket

They were long icicle looking aquamarine earrings.
Setsuna pulled Michiru's hair back and placed them on each side of Michiru's pierced ears, Setsuna eyed a vase with a bouquet of roses, she grabbed a single one and placed it in the band that held Michiru's bun.

Setsuna smiled thoughtfully

"Michiru."

"What is it?" she asked

Setsuna pulled out another present which was in a blue velvet box, and opened it to reveal a mermaid pendant embodied in aqua jewels.
"I know it's a little early, but this is my gift to you."

Michiru smiled as Setsuna placed it around her neck.
"Arigatou, Setsuna."

"You're welcome."

The next thing now was the make up.

The wedding was to be held in a largely now decorated room that was in the center of the outer's mansion. There was a large, delicious looking wedding cake off to the side which had been made by Makoto for free and for a wedding gift. Many elegantly wrapped presents piled by the cake, which was topped with porcelain doves.
Next to the cake were appetizers as well as the plates and silverware.

The inner soldiers hurried with the last minute decorations and then found themselves rushing around in a disorderly fashion. "Haruka-san is going to be coming out anytime now, it's almost time and we need to be organized!" Ami nearly demanded The Soldier of Wisdom showing everyone to their places.

Usagi stood directly across from Minako both wore elegant white dresses. Pink ribbons decorating Usagi's ondagos as her two pig tails elegantly flowed behind the future queen. Minako had her haired pulled up in her trademark red bow at the back of her head. Makoto was standing directly across from Ami. Instead of her usual turquoise hair balls holding her ponytail, she wore a sugar pink ribbon in its place. Ami who was standing across from her, had a light green pin that held back her blue bangs.

At the very front of the aisle, the inner soldiers had created, Rei stood wearing a similar white dress to that of her fellow soldiers. She had her raven hair pulled back with a white ribbon into a loose ponytail, ready to conduct the ceremony. When everyone was in their places, the music had begun.

Haruka appeared going down the long aisle, both her arms linked with a man on each side. Shukensha had taken Haruka's right and Mamoru the left, both wore similar tux suits, leading her to the front, and through the small aisle the inner soldiers had created and released her when they arrived in front of Rei and went on each side of her.

Haruka felt her heart beating at a rate that her breathing was becoming heavier.
The next to come down the aisle were Miyoko and Hotaru side by side holding baskets of rose petals gathered from most likely the same place Setsuna had gotten hers.
The wore white dress similar to the one's the inner soldier's wore. Miyoko had her now shoulder length light green hair spilling over her shoulders, her grown out bangs were pulled back into a jeweled barrette. Hotaru's bangs were parted and held in place with hair pins.

The two girls reached into he baskets and threw rose petals onto the aisle as they made their way to the front. The petals were red, white and pink.
Once the two of them reached the front, everyone spread out in an almost circular fashion, except Rei who stood on the podium and Haruka before her.
The nervous, yet excited the blond watched the awe inspiring sight.

Setsuna had her arm linked with Michiru's right arm as they descended the stairs. Setsuna had her hair up in her custom bun, which was held up with a band decorated with garnet gemstones which had matched her earring studs.

Like the other Senshi, she wore a silky white gown. The excited soldiers watched as they started down the aisle. Usagi couldn't help but giggle

"I love weddings! I can't wait to marry Mamo-chan!" she exclaimed in a loud whisper while everyone around her shushed her. Michiru was beautiful; she wore a long white wedding dress, which complimented her elegant body and unfailing grace. She carried a bouquet in both hands which held, red, white and pink Roses.

Under the veil, Michiru's hair was in a similar style to Setsuna's which had a red rose strung through it. Haruka swallowed 'She's so beautiful.'

Michiru caught Haruka's gaze and smiled warmly at her soon to be wife.
Once they reached the end of the aisle, Setsuna led Michiru to Haruka then joined the others and spread out to watch the couple as Rei began to speak.

"We are gathered here today to witness the eternal bond between these two individuals,
who will make a proclamation of their love in front of everyone they love and trust most,
and unify these two as one." Rei spoke looking at Haruka and Michiru

After the introduction, Rei turned to Haruka "Tenou Haruka, will you embrace Kaiou Michiru as your wife,
friend and lover, will you stand by her through whatever obstacles lay ahead for forever and all time?" Rei continued

Haruka smiled as Rei conducted the ceremony "I will." Haruka replied

Rei turned to Michiru "Kaiou Michiru, will you embrace Tenou Haruka as your wife, friend and lover, will you stand by her through whatever obstacles lay ahead for forever and all time?"

Michiru smiled "I will."

"You may face each other and recite your vows." Rei instructed

Haruka turned towards Michiru, taking her slender hands in her own.
"Michiru, you are the soul reason I wake up every morning, you are the reason I choose to accept my destiny. You are the reason I am standing here. When I am the shadow, you are the light. I'm so lucky to have some one like you who loves and understands me for who I am. We've been through a lot together and I promise I will always be by your side no matter what. I loved you the first moment I laid my eyes upon you and I will forever be yours." Haruka spoke

Rei turned to Michiru

As Michiru nodded, placing her free hand on the top of Haruka's.
"Haruka, I never intended to investigate you just because you were destined to be Sailor Uranus, but rather because you were always so strong and independent. Someone who is honest to their feelings is someone I want to be with. I love you Haruka, I always have and I always will. I am so blessed and lucky to have you and I am forever yours." Michiru spoke softly as tears of happiness welled in her eyes

Hotaru brought over two rings as Rei began to speak.
"Wedding rings are symbols of eternal unity, may these rings be a sign of your, love, affection."

Haruka took Michiru's slender hand and slipped a ring onto Michiru's finger,
Michiru's aquamarine birth stone was in the center of the ring. Michiru took her ring for Haruka, and slipped it onto her ring finger, it was a golden ring, with 'I love you' engraved on the back.

They smiled at each other and recited

"Now that you have placed the rings one another's fingers, you will recite after me, 'This love has blessed us with wings and gills, we will soon fly freely in the blue sky, swim without boundaries in the deep sea, wherever the wind and ocean may take us, I will stay by your side, forever and all time, this ring symbolizes my love and affection.'"

Haruka and Michiru held each other's hands and recited "This love has blessed us with wings and gills, we will soon fly freely in the blue sky,
swim without boundaries in the deep sea, wherever the wind and ocean may take us, I will stay by your side, forever and all time, this ring symbolizes my love and affection."

After the closing, Rei sighed and took a deep breath "You may kiss the bride."

Warmth rushed through Haruka's entire body, as she pulled her wife towards her, sliding her arms around her slender body and moved in to meet Michiru's lips as they kissed passionately.

All of their family and friends cheered, jumping up and down, some even gathering rose petals and throwing them into the air.

Haruka slid her hand under Michiru's hair, caressing her neck as she continued to kiss her love. "I love you." She whispered softly into Michiru's ear

"I love you too."

Senshi No Omoi -Now the evening sun is blazing as it sets As if it were melting into the calm sea Looking at it with you, this scene Will burn into my memory Once again a storm will come this way The one, she is in danger Peace can be protected from the foreign enemies By only you and me I want to thank destiny Because I was able to meet you Break through the silence of the lies and Together we will secure true peace People are all alone, every one Living on a journey of solitude Until the day I found my way to you That is what I thought Whatever injuries or hardships one has One who won't depend on anyone And is always true to their own feelings I want to be with I am not having regrets Because this is the path I went down with you It was decided beneath the stars Since before when affection was born, we are soldiers of destiny I want to thank destiny Because I was able to meet you Break through the silence of the lies and Together we will secure true peace-

To be continued…
