A/N: Friends, too sad, this will be the last chapter of my story. I was overwhelmed to see all your reviews giving me enough courage to continue and finish this. The day has come. You know I really put myself into Syaoran while writing the chapter 14. I was thinking all the way, 'If I was Syaoran, what will I do to make her birthday special?' and it worked! I wasn't with myself while writing it and then when I realized I'm finished, I read the chapter from the beginning. I was shocked, for I haven't noticed that I've been thinking of that way. I really love that chapter and I was happy to see that all of you love it too. Most of you wished that it could happen to them. Sigh... I wish to hear from you again after this chapter...

Thanks:

animegig – yes, it's sweeter that time... hehe... thanks for reviewing!

kenshinlover2002 – it was really a nice birthday present. I would be more thrilled if he did that all by himself but it wouldn't be as romantic as ever. You wish to have someone like him? I'll grant you one... I'm the wandgirl, (swished and flicked the wand)... Lol. Thanks for the review, I'll miss you. I hope you'll read my next story. Thanks for reviewing!

Shimela – Thanks for reviewing! Things like that could really happen in real life too. Don't worry... Keep in touch. Amanda Marie – are you the one who reviewed the previous chapter? I think you are. I'm so sorry that I can't update so fast. But I hope everything is worth the wait. I like you. We're alike when I love the story; I kept reading it all over again. This is the last chapter you've been waiting for. Thanks for the review!

sakandliluver – you're right! This chapter is all about the wedding. I really intended to write chapters longer than I used to. This is the final chapter. Thanks for the review!

cool aya – the proposal? It's really wonderful and perfect. You know, doing anything for your love... Thanks for the review!

Ngoc1231 – you could have a present like that too. It's nice to know someone having a birthday on New Year's Eve! You should be grateful every time fireworks are displayed for the New Year and your birthday too. It's fun! My birthday will be May7, next month. Please keep in touch. This is the last chapter. Thanks for reviewing!

Lil-Sakura-Angel – oh, I'm so happy to receive that kind of review. The fireworks are great and are displayed on time, why? The answer is in this chapter. My favorite part was when he proposed too. It's sweet, isn't it? Thanks for the review!

ori-chan – well, thank you! Nothing is impossible.

Sakura-miaka – yes, yes, it's the chapter I love above all. Yes, it's my dream proposal. If I am a boy, it's not impossible for me to try that for the one I like. But we're not really rich as Syaoran and I can't certainly do that. But if I was a boy, I'll do anything to please a girl's heart. Thanks for the support. And I hope you read my next story. I'll miss you.

Pinaygrrl – everyone wants that to happen to them, like me. This is the final chapter, hope I'll see your review on my next story... Thanks for reviewing.

faraaa – Thanks for the review!

Puffthemagicdragon567 – oh... too bad, you were not the first, but you're the second. It's okay. I appreciate all kinds of reviews. If I'm not mistaken, you're a boy? I was really shock when I read your profile, I check all the profiles of my reviewers. This is the first time to have a boy reader in my fic aside from my classmate who tried to read just the first chapter. He's not really interested and his review was more of an insult, though we're friends. Nice one, you really surprised me. Thanks for the review!

Illusion Dragon – oh, I'm so happy to hear that my favorite number was lucky in other country. They're old enough here, so I suppose they are permitted to use the honey-darling. Oh, it's so nice, reading the proposal on a rooftop by means of candles. I'll miss your PLZ. UPDATE SOON. This is the last chapter but I hope we'll be able to stay in touch by my next story. I hope you'll read it. Thanks for reviewing!

oOo

Chapter 15:

TOGETHER AGAIN

The next week after the proposal, Syaoran decided to tell his future father-in-law about the wedding. Sakura didn't break her promise to Syaoran not to tell her father about it. Now, the time has come and Syaoran finally made up his mind.

"So, what's important?" Fujitaka asked while they were sitting on the sofa.

Syaoran gulped, "Um.. Uncle?"

"Yes, what is it?"

"I'm here to ask your daughter's hand." Syaoran said seriously.

Fujitaka raised his brows, "Only that?"

"What do you mean?" laughed Syaoran.

"Nah, I'm just joking around." Fujitaka smiled, "You mean you've come here to ask my daughter's hand from me?"

Just then, Sakura raced down the stairs excitedly. She quickly sat beside Syaoran then stared at her father's eyes happily, "Yes, he did."

Fujitaka scratched the back of his head, "What more could I do? You love one another as much as I could imagine. And that's what Yelan and I were expecting everyday."

"Thanks, Dad..." Sakura smiled, "We've planned to have the wedding this coming June. What do you think about it?"

Fujitaka stared at her then at Syaoran in amazement, "June? Are you kidding? June's 2 months from now."

"Yes, 2 months from now.' Sakura nodded.

"Two months and then you'll be Mrs. Li." Syaoran laughed, "Dad, we're no really in a hurry but we want to get married at June. It's the month when couples usually get married."

"Ok, I understand..." Fujitaka nodded, "Can you repeat the way you call me?"

"What? The Dad?" Syaoran asked, "Sure, Dad."

Fujitaka laughed, "A moment ago you're still calling me Uncle and now it's – Dad!"

Sakura sighed, "So, what do you think about the wedding?"

Fujitaka pushed his glasses, "Two months... planning the wedding is a tough stuff, Sakura, and we haven't even started! Take Tomoyo and Eriol for instance, it's been a year since they announced their engagement, yet they're planning to get married this December. Aren't you planning something about an engagement party?"

"Dad, we want to live a simple life." Sakura sighed, "I don't like to have an engagement part anymore. Besides, we're not planning to tell the whole world about the wedding or else they would want an invitation for them and that isn't easy. I want to have a simple wedding like the one ordinary couples have."

"But you aren't ordinary!" Fujitaka protested, "President and Vice-President of Li Realty Holdings Corporation. What do you expect?"

"We're inviting only close relatives and friends." Syaoran said, "We're tired of broadcasting our lives nationwide. I won't let any form of media during our wedding enter the Church."

Fujitaka sighed, "Fine, but what about your employees? Aren't you going to tell them?"

"I'll announce it right away, oral and written." Syaoran replied proudly.

"Written? You don't mean by putting a note on the lobby's bulletin board?" Fujitaka laughed, "You can have it oral."

"Both." Syaoran smiled, "I don't care whether the TV networks will know something about this or not as long as they won't go ten feet near around the Church during the wedding ceremony."

"Yeah," Sakura popped in, "we won't spend half our riches for the wedding, just a simple one. I'll go to Tomoyo today to help me choose a wedding gown."

"No need." Fujitaka stood, "I want you to wear your mother's wedding gown. It's in my cabinet. I've kept it for a long time."

"You did?"

oOo

That weekend, Sakura and Syaoran went to Tomoyo's boutique to visit Tomoyo and Eriol. Tomoyo quickly hugged Sakura the moment she saw her. Syaoran and Eriol shook hands then headed the sofa to seat.

"Sakura!" Tomoyo reached for her hand then smiled, "I'm so happy for you!"

Sakura stared at her then blinked, "How did you know? You knew already about the April first thing?"

"Of course I knew!" Tomoyo smiled, "Congratulations!"

Sakura thought for a while thinking how could Tomoyo had known about it. Then she remembered her father, "How? Did someone tell you?"

"Yeah, Eriol." Tomoyo nodded then released her hand, "Oh, I'm sorry. Come have a seat. I've forgotten to ask you to sit..."

Sakura followed her where the boys where sitting. How could Eriol know about it? They didn't tell a soul, aside from Fujitaka and Yelan. Sakura sighed in despair as she sat beside Tomoyo.

"I'm just curious." Sakura started, "How did you know?"

"I told you, Eriol informed me after you and Syaoran left my boutique." Tomoyo smiled.

Sakura turned to Eriol, who was drinking a glass of juice, "How about you, Eriol? Who told you?"

"Syaoran," Eriol replied.

"Syaoran?" Sakura turned to Syaoran then back to Eriol, "How? When? Where?"

Eriol put down the half-empty glass of juice, "The night you're busy dressing up here, he called me on the cell phone to say hello. And I told him that you're here. So Syaoran let a little secret spill to tell me about his proposal that night. He even asked me to light up the fireworks at Tomoeda Park. And so I did."

"And he told me about it after you left then we drove to Tomoeda Park to light up the fireworks." Tomoyo told happily. "I was really happy to help Syaoran."

"He told me to do the job at exactly 8 P.M. He even ordered me to set my watch the same time with his, so that I won't fail." Eriol laughed.

"This is really unbelievable..." Sakura muttered.

"And just before I left the office, I told the employees to go to the lawn and for the magic words. I asked them to have a candle each and light up at exactly 8 too and if they failed to do that," Syaoran paused, "They may pack their things right away and must not be seen around my building forever."

"Oh Syaoran!" gasped Sakura, "You didn't tell them that way, right? Don't tell me you've warned all our employees like that?"

"Yes, I did." Syaoran nodded, "And I told them not to make a sound when we arrived."

"How about the rooftop?" Sakura asked.

"I've arranged it, myself." Syaoran smiled.

"Oh, good." Sakura smirked, "The whole world knows before me."

"Don't speak like that, honey." Syaoran said, "It's for your own sake. It's a part of the proposal. If I didn't do that, it would be as boring as an old classic black and white movie or your Math class when we're in high school."

"Yeah, I understand." Sakura laughed, "You think I'm mad? Of course not, you've planned carefully every detail of it. Great job!"

"So," Tomoyo started happily, "when the wedding will be?"

"June."

oOo

June came quickly after two months of non-stop preparation. Fujitaka, being an oldie, warned the couple not to meet at least a week before the wedding. As a result, Sakura and Syaoran stayed at different hotels a week before it as what Fujitaka had advised. It seemed forever waiting the wedding for them. But today, time ticked so fast that a couple of hours seem not to be enough.

Sakura, who can't control herself being excited, hadn't slept well the night before. Now, she felt more excited and nervous at the same time while preparing herself for the wedding. She watched her reflection on the mirror as her face transformed from youth to a woman. Her stylist continued applying make-up after she finished doing her hair. Absentmindedly, Sakura felt a tap on her shoulder. She eventually dressed up.

"Excited?" her stylist, asked.

"Sort of." She put on a nervous smile, "More on nervous."

Twenty blocks away from her hotel, Syaoran was busy on photo shoots because he has finished dressing up some twenty minutes ago. He kept checking his wristwatch from time to time and rubbing palms together too. No wonder, the Syaoran Li was showing signs of nervousness. Syaoran looked down his watch once again then a smile was formed on his lips.

It's time.

In the Church, where the wedding will be, close friends and relatives were waiting outside with buzz of happiness. There was something in the air that no one can describe the joy around. Maybe it's because the media was in good hundred meters away. Soon, Syraoran arrived by his car driven by a driver for him. Her mother, Yelan, walked towards him in tears. They hugged each other for a while until Yelan let go of him.

"I'm so happy for you my son..." she muttered.

"Thanks Mom." Syaoran kissed her cheek.

Again, Syaoran checked the time on his wristwatch for the millionth time. He was wearing black-polished shoes, white slacks, white tuxedo, white long sleeves and a black bow tie. Feeling more and more nervous, Syaoran kept rubbing his palms together.

Eriol came up to him, "The mass should've started right now. Hasn't she arrived?"

Syaoran shook his head. He told Eriol an excuse to go to the men's room to check his reflection for the last time. As he disappeared from the crowd, a white bridal car arrived. People sighed in relief as they saw Sakura stepped out of it. From the comfort room, Syaoran heard applause outside so he decided to come out. But as he exited the door, someone pulled his arm, dragging him towards the Church's main door.

It was none other than –

"Mom!" Syaoran gasped, "You've frightened me!"

Yelan continued to pull him, "You're the one who frightened me. Hurry! She's here!"

They reached the main door in a matter of seconds. But unfortunately, Syaoran didn't even get the chance to see Sakura. The Church organ began to play and Yelan quickly walked Syaoran down the aisle. When they reached the first bench to the altar, Syaoran immediately turned all his attention to the main door hoping to catch a glimpse of the bride.

The march seemed to be forever as Syaoran waited for Sakura. After several minutes, his most awaited bride stepped into the Church. Syaoran didn't take his eyes off her as she walked down the aisle with her father. Going back to reality, Syaoran turned to someone on his right, who was sobbing. Yelan wiped her tears then blew her nose. Smiling, Syaoran hugged her.

"Take care of my child, Syaoran..." Fujitaka told him.

Syaoran turned around then gasped.

Sakura chuckled, "What's the matter?"

"Y-you're beautiful..." Syaoran muttered, still in shock.

Fujitaka walked towards Yelan then wiped little tears of him secretly. To no one's surprise, Sakura wore her mother's wedding gown. It seemed to be well kept and custom-made but it's not. The cheerful bride looped her arm into Syaoran's then walked towards the altar. Her hair was tied in an elegant knot on both sides with an amount of little make-up. As for the gown, the neckline formed an off-shoulder V-shape, its sleeves reached her elbows; the bodice part was plain except for a single embroidered flower on the lower right. The skirt was consist of 3 layers of fabric, the bottom layer was just a petticoat, the middle layer was made of satin, and the top layer was of lace. And the rest was simple yet elegant. The motif was white so her bouquet of roses was white.

Sakura smiled to Syaoran as they kneeled before the altar. The priest started the Holy Mass right away. As quiet as possible, everyone inside the Church as they listened to the Word, witnessed the exchange of the life-long marriage promise to be celebrated through Eucharist. The bride and bridegroom stood before the priest and the whole gathering.

Syaoran held Sakura's hand then picked the wedding ring, "I, Syaoran Li, take you, Sakura Kinomoto, to be my wife. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad times, in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, for richer and for poorer." He slowly slid the wedding ring into Sakura's ring finger, "I will love you and honor you all the days of my life..."

Then a loud sob was heard from Yelan, who was being comforted by Fujitaka, who got little tears in his eyes. Sakura stared at them then smiled. Finally she turned to Syaoran then picked the wedding ring, "I, Sakura Kinomoto, take you, Syaoran Li, to be my husband. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad times, in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, for richer and for poorer." She slowly slid the wedding ring into Syaoran's ring finger, "I will love you and honor you all the days of my life..."

These words were the most important part of the Sacrament. The bride and the bridegroom exchanged their rings as sign of their love and faithfulness as they express the covenant or bond of love between them in a vow. Rings are endless circles, which means unending faithfulness and binds them together showing the two are married.

The married couple offer themselves to God during Mass. They receive Holy Communion to show that the risen Christ is with them to help them live together in a true communion of love and shares in their joy in a special way.

The priest extended his hands over the couple and gave them the Nuptial blessing.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife." The priest smiled at them, "You may now kiss the bride."

Syaoran kissed Sakura in front of the altar. After that, they faced the people then walked towards the main door as rice grains were thrown around them.

Sakura hugged Fujitaka and Yelan then Tomoyo. Eriol congratulated Syaoran before the newly weds rode the bridal car. As respect, Sakura climbed in first.

Syaoran followed inside, "Wow, we're married!"

Sakura smiled at him, "Yeah, the best day of my life, so far."

The driver started the engine to get into the reception area. The married couple inside laughed their hearts out as they reminisce the incidents 7 years ago. To tell the world, a big Just Married sign at the back of the bridal car was written. Through the years being together, their bond strengthened from which they couldn't be separated anymore.

Truly, they were... together again...

THE END.

oOo

A/N: Friends, there it was, the final chapter. I am Catholic the way I wrote the wedding ceremony. This is really a success for me. It's the first time I've finished writing a story and it's because of my reviewers. I always felt discouraged, but whenever I read your reviews, I'm restored. For you, a huge THANK YOU. I know words aren't enough but it came from the bottom of my heart. Without reviewers, there wouldn't be writers. I love you, friends!

I'm a pure Filipino living in the little country of Philippines, so I'll share a simple phrase that meant a lot for me... For non-Filipinos, pronounce all the letter a as a in car.

Maraming Salamat...

Thank You...
