Chapter 20

Here Comes the Bride

It was late in the afternoon. The girls were getting ready for the wedding.

"C'mon Zel.", said a frustrated Cremia. "Suck it in girl."

Zelda laughed. "What have I got to suck in? Are you saying I'm fat?" Romani smirked, watching the girls from across the room.

"No, but I'm saying these are.", she pointed to her chest. Zelda stuck out her tongue.

"They are…NOT!" Cremia had just zipped up the corset. "Can't breath."

"Well, what do you expect? You haven't worn one since your life in the castle.", said Cremia. Romani got up from her chair.

"Okay, time to do that hair of yours.", she said. "Let's see. How do you want it done?"

"How about up in a bun with little curls falling down?", suggested Cremia. She looked to Zelda for an answer.

"Sounds cute.", she said. "Okay, let's do that."

By the time that was done with, the girls were all ready. They stood in front of a big mirror. "Perfect.", exclaimed Cremia.

Zelda looked astonishing. She didn't even recognize herself. She wore a long, white gown. It had a short tail coming from the back. Sleeveless, slim, and little patterns of small, white, sparkling flowers across the top. A veil went over her face and her hair was perfect due to Romani's good experience. "Wow.", she whispered. "I look great." Cremia punched her playfully.

"You always do.", she said. "You were blessed with those looks while we get the short end."

Zelda punched her back with a smile. "Oh, Shut up. You look as good as I do." She looked back at the mirror. Everything was flawless.

There was a knock on the door, making the girls jump. "Who is it?", Romani asked sweetly. The door opened and in came Anju.

She looked great as well. The blue dress had exaggerated her eyes. In a good way. "Hey", greeted Zelda. "You look great."

"Thanks", she said. "You look wonderful. Ready for your big day?", she asked.

Zelda felt shivers up her spine at the thought. She took a deep breath. "Yes, I'm ready."

"And your big night too?", grinned Romani. Zelda blushed.

"Maybe not about that.", she said. "I'm so nervous."

"Awww…", exclaimed Cremia. "Don't be scared. You love him. That's all that's going to matter then."

Romani grinned. "Our lil Zelly's growing up."

"We should start leaving. Mustn't be late.", said Anju. So the girls made there way downstairs and into a carriage they had arranged to pick them up.

"So, Zelda. Why are you holding the reception a day after the wedding", Cremia wanted to know. It was sort of, well, weird.

"Well,", Zelda started. "Link wants to bring me somewhere right after the wedding. So we're holding the reception afterward."

"OOOOOHHHH.", exclaimed Romani. "You've got the romantic type." She smiled devilishly. "Wonder where he's taking you."

"I don't know." The carriage came to a stop. Butterflies spun around in Zelda's stomach. I can't believe this is happening. If only Impa was here.

The place was decorated. It was beautiful. She would be so proud.

A single tear crept down her cheek. She didn't bother to wipe it off. Kafei stood there waiting for the girls. Kafei had agreed to take Zelda down the aisle. She was so grateful to him.

After the girls went up the stairs, they waited a bit, and then followed.

"You ready?", he whispered in an encouraging tone.

"I hope.", Zelda smiled. "…Kafei?"

"Yes?"

"Thank you so much. You don't know how much this means to me. It shows what great friends I've made. I'm so glad your one of them."

She had mostly been just acquainted with Kafei the time they were there. Kafei and Anju had treated them like family though and that had made her feel so cared for. She needed to thank him for everything.

"No problem.", he said smiling.

They walked through the archway. Zelda got even more nervous. Her breath was light and held back a little. She was worried about tripping or messing up with the ' I do's '.

But all that seemed to fade when she saw the one person she loved the most. Link.

He stood there before the priest. When he saw her, his expression changed from edgy to relaxed. He smiled one of those smiles that made Zelda fall in love with him.

Goddesses I love this man! She wanted to scream out and let the world hear it. Now she wasn't afraid anymore. She was ready to take on the beauty of love. She was ready to start a new beginning with him. She was ready to live her dream. To fall in love with whoever she wanted dismissing all regards of class. To live without servants constantly at her side. To be free and live happily ever after.

She stood up next to him, facing him directly. All the feelings she had felt for him since the day they met were gathering up in one huge ball, overwhelming her with emotion. She felt she might buckle at the knees before him if she could possibly feel any deeper passion for him. It was the greatest feeling of her life. As of yet.

The priest asked that they joined hands. They did as directed. She stared into his deep, blue eyes. They were incredible.

"Link. Please repeat what I say.", said the priest. Link nodded.

"I, Link Luke Montary, promise."

"to take thee."

" to take thee."

"Zelda Serenity Harkinan"

"To love and to hold"

"To cherish and protect"

"Through sickness and in health"

"In life and death"

The priest turned to Zelda. "Zelda, repeat me."

"I, Zelda Serenity Harkinan , promise."

"to take thee."

"Link Luke Montary"

"To love and to hold"

"To cherish and protect"

"Through sickness and in health"

"In life and death"

Phew. Made it through that. "Very well.", said the priest. "Now we shall present the rings." Cremia walked up giving Zelda Link's ring. She recited her part.

"With this ring I thee wed. To be my husband. This ring symbolizes my love for you. It never ends, like my love. With this I promise to be faithful, loyal, and bound to you and only you for the rest of my life.", she said carefully, then slipping on the ring to his finger.

He smiled. Kafei handed Link Zelda's ring and repeated the phrase.

"With this ring I thee wed. To be my wife. This ring symbolizes my love for you. It never ends, like my love. With this I promise to be faithful, loyal, and bound to you and only you for the rest of my life." He slipped on the ring saying, "I love you."

She mouthed "I love you" back and smiled.

The priest went on. "Link Luke Montary, do you take Zelda Harkinan to be your lawfully wedded wife? If you do then say 'I do'."

"I do."

"And do you Zelda Serenity Harkinan, take Link Montary to be your lawfully wedded husband? If you do then say 'I do'."

"I do."

"Then by the power invested in me, you may kiss the bride."

Zelda's stomach fluttered. She did it! She was finally married! With a passionate kiss, the two were sealed together for eternity. Their friends clapped and shouted congratulations.

Cremia came up to hug her. "Ohmigoddesses, your married!"

"I know. I can't believe it!", exclaimed Zelda.

"Congratulations Zel.", said Romani.

"Thanks."

Toby came up to the newly married couple. "Congads. Link, you're a lucky man."

"Thanks, Toby.", Link replied. Not even Toby could mess up his mood.

"Well, C'mon.", said Cremia. "We have to send you on your way. It's going to get dark soon." She gave a wink to Zelda.

Link and Zelda boarded the carriage, leaving happy friends behind to cheer them off. The girls sighed dreamily as the carriage drove out of town.

"They are so perfect together.", exclaimed Cremia.

"A match made in heaven.", agreed Romani.

"Their kids will be adorable!", gushed Anju.

The girls looked over to the two men, waiting for them to add something.

"Err… yeah…. They're great.", said Kafei, rubbing the back of his neck, smiling sheepishly.

"Yeah, what he said.", added Toby.

"Where are we going?", asked Zelda excitedly.

"Your favorite place.", he replied.

Zelda smiled. "So romantic.", she said seductively, kissing him on the cheek. "Well, we're married now. We can do anything we want."

"I guess we can.", he said with the same tone.

The couch came to a stop. Link thanked the driver, and they went into the forest. Down to their secret place.

Once there, Zelda took it all in. They hadn't been there in a while. She immediately began feeling the magic all around her again. "I love this place.", she whispered.

The forest glowed under the full, milk-white moon. It was perfect. Link stood behind her, hugging her tightly.

"I love you so much, Zelda.", he said, adoringly.

She turned to him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I love you, Link." She kissed him tenderly.

Link moved his kisses down her neck. This time, Zelda didn't try to stop him. She gladly took it all in, receiving shivers up her spine every time his lips toughed her skin.

They laid down on the soft ground, careful not to break their kisses. Zelda felt a bit more anxious each second that passed.

"Are you sure your ready?", he asked concerned. Zelda smiled at his decency.

"I'm as ready as I'll ever be.", she whispered in his ear.

"Absolutely?", he asked once more to make sure.

"Absolutely."
