OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Sakura felt very nervous as Tomoyo applied eyeshadow to her face.
She closed her eyes and sighed, taking calming, deep breathes.
Today she would be married.
In less than an hour, she would be Mrs. Syaoran Li.
It brought chills up and down her spine, just thinking of it.
"Okay, Sakura, pucker up!" Tomoyo said as she put some lipstick on Sakura's lips.
Sakura did as she was told, and then Tomoyo professionally blotted the lipstick to perfection with a tissue.
"Okay, that's it for your makeup, let's put your dress on now" Tomoyo said.
Sakura nodded, and quickly changed out of her jeans and old t-shirt.
She, Tomoyo, and the rest of the bridesmaids were getting changed and applying their makeup and doing their hair in Sakura's bedroom upstairs.
Sakura had her honey-brown shoulder-length hair put up into two pretty buns, with lots of glitter hair spray to hold it in place with the sparkly barrettes and flowers.
She had been growing her hair out these past few months, and what once was short, choppy brown hair was now a lovely, longer length. Her hair went about three inches past her shoulders.
Tomoyo, of course, had been entrusted to doing her hair and such, seeing as she was the most experienced with that sort of thing.
The American-styled wedding preparations had been made, and it was ready to begin.
Hundreds of Cherry Blossoms flown in from tropical locations (as it was New Year 's Eve in Tomoeda, Japan), decorating her living room and enormous recreational room in her basement, serving as the reception hall.
Pink banners and ribbons were wrapped around the banister and railing leading up the stairs to the second floor, and there was a pink movie-star style carpet leading down from it to the area where Sakura and Syaoran would be married.
Many pink chairs were set up, as there would be guests in this wedding.
Tomoyo would be the maid of honor, while Eriol would be the best man.
Rika was a bridesmaid, with Terada-sensei as groomsman.
Meilin was paired off with Touya for the service, Naoko with Yukito, and Chiharu with Takeshi.
Sakura's father would be giving her away, of course.
Guests included Mizuki-sensei, back from America, Spinel-sun and Kero in their small forms, acting as decorations on a small table, Ruby Moon, Tomoyo's mother, Sakura's grandfather, Syaoran's mother and four sisters, Wei, Nuriko, Sakura and Syaoran's favorite teachers from elementary school thorough high school, and a few other family members and friends.
It was a relatively small wedding, wit only family and close friends attending.
And Sakura was happier than anything.
Syaoran was too, but right now, it's Sakura's point of view.
The 'wedding ceremony room' was decorated in all pink, with pink cherry blossom petals strewn all over the floor already, seeing as there was no flower girl, and the rings awaited on a small pillow at a table where the priest was standing.
Tomoyo and the other bridesmaids helped Sakura into her dress, fussing over her, making sure she looked perfect before even considering dressing in their own gowns.
Sakura looked gorgeous, that's all there was to it.
Of course, she always looked gorgeous, being one of Japan's top models, but somehow, on this day, she just looked-stunning. Stunning was the only word to describe her current state of beauty.
She had inherited her mother's good looks, no doubt, and her father's brown hair. It just made Sakura all the more pretty, really.
Butterflies burbled up in her stomach, as the minutes until she had to walk down the decorated staircase turned into seconds.
And then, the music started-Canon in D major.
She took a deep breath, and watched as Chiharu and Yamakazi linked hands and walked down the stairs together.
As that happened, her father walked over to her, and said, "Sakura, you look gorgeous. I can't believe that you are getting married today" he said, tears glistening up in his eyes.
"Me neither, daddy" she replied, tears forming in her own eyes.
Good thing Tomoyo had applied waterproof mascara to her face, otherwise, she would have been soaked by tears.
She quickly gave her father a hug as Meilin walked down the stairs with Touya, who, even though it was his own sister's wedding, was scowling just a tad bit.
He still didn't trust Syaoran, even after all these years of them dating.
After them, Rika walked down the stairs with Terada-sensei, then Naoko with Yukito.
All her friends looked wonderful, and Sakura was very happy to have them a part of her wedding.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Syaoran stood up nervously by the Minister at the little area where he and Sakura would be married.
He was rather uncomfortable in his tux, but hey, it was for Sakura.
Syaoran thought that the bridesmaids and groomsman looked very nice as well, happy that Sakura had such good friends to be in the wedding.
He grimaced slightly, as all of his many sisters were snapping photos like crazy in the front row, blinding him slightly.
There was also a professional photographer (much to Tomoyo's dismay), however, Tomoyo had set up a video camera, taping the ceremony.
He remembered when Sakura was telling him about how Tomoyo was making a video documentary about the wedding, the preparations, as a wedding present for the two.
It would be interesting to see, he thought, as he hadn't done all that much preparing for the wedding, not as much as Sakura and her friends were.
He had, however, set up and arranged the honeymoon.
After much thought and consideration, he decided that they would go to America, to Hawaii for the wedding, since they both could speak English fairly well, having taken it elementary school through college.
It was a handy language, after all, far less complicated to write in than Japanese or Chinese, and Hawaii was quite the romantic spot.
Syaoran, of course, had done plenty of research before deciding.
I mean, after all, he DID want to have the best honeymoon with Sakura as humanly possible.
And with Syaoran Li talking, well, that's big.
They would be staying at a wonderful, expensive resort called the Renaissance Ilikai Waikiki, in, you guessed it, Waikiki.
It would be an interesting experience. Syaoran himself had never been to the states, just Canada, and that was several years ago. Yeah, he'd been to Australia and New Zealand and the Bahamas, but he really wanted to say that he'd been to America, plus it would be really helpful for his English skills.
He snapped out of the thought, as he saw Tomoyo and Eriol, the Maid of Honor and the Best Man, come down the stairs.
Sakura would be coming down next!
He couldn't wait to see her. To kiss her passionately in her beautiful gown. To be married to her, and spend the rest of their lives together…
And then, he saw her.
And as he saw her, his jaw dropped open.
Everyone was looking at the direction of the stairs, marveling at Sakura's beauty, while Syaoran was just staring at her intensely, taking in her beauty.
She looked heavenly, with her hair done up in curls and little braids, little flowers tucked in her hair, and it sparked, like her lovely sparkly purple dress that went to her ankles.
In her hands, she held tightly a bouquet of Cherry blossoms and forget-me-nots, looking rather nervous with all the people staring at her and all the pictures being taken.
If you saw how nervous she was right now, you never would have guessed that she was a famous model.
Her left arm was linked with her father's right arm, and her father looked very proud of her, to be giving her away.
It was all too bad that her mother couldn't be present on this very day….the one day that mattered the most to Sakura in her life…..
Oh well….can't have everything now can you?
Sakura walked up to Syaoran, and smiled at him.
He smiled back at her.
In moments, they would be married!
Just then, the priest spoke….
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of Kinomoto Sakura and Li Syaoran in holy matrimony, so let's get started" she said.
Oh yea, the priest is a girrrrl, cuz I said sooo! She was pretty young and fun-loving, and tried to make weddings as fun as possible.
She was a good friend of Tomoyo's, which is how she scored the gig in the first place.
"Do you, Sakura Kinomoto, take Syaoran Li to be your lawfully wedded husband, through richer and poorer, through sickness and health, till death do you part?
"I do" Sakura said confidently.
"And do you, Syaoran Li, take Sakura Kinomoto to be your lawfully wedded wife, though richer and poorer, through sickness and health, till death do you part?"
"I do" Syaoran said as confidently as Sakura did.
"OK, the rings" the priest said.
Syaoran took a pretty pink heart shaped diamond and placed it on Sakura's finger.
Sakura took a plain gold band and put it on Syaoran's finger.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride" the priestess said.
Syaoran bent down, grabbed Sakura by the shoulders, and kissed her like it was going out of style.
Their friends and family hooted and hollered, as the two were now married and stuck with each other forever.
And Sakura and Syaoran couldn't be happier…..
-Epilogue-
Sakura and Syaoran continued to live long, happy lives together.
Sakura modeled until she was 22, when she became pregnant and had a baby, a little girl named Ying Fa.
She continued modeling though after the baby was old enough to go to school.
Syaoran was the CEO of a major computer company, so the two were very wealthy, between his job and her modeling.
Tomoyo and Eriol got married six months after Sakura when Eriol finished grad school, and became a successful attorney.
Tomoyo, of course, became the owner of a huge and successful fashion clothing company, which Sakura frequently models for, and Tomoyo was also the director of several successful movies and documentaries.
They are also quite wealthy, had two children, and lived happy lives together.
Meilin eventually found luuuuve….and got married a year later to a man named Tenchi…….the love each other very much and had twins.
Rika and Terada-sensei got married, of course, right after Rika finished college…they are expecting a baby any day now…
Chiharu and Yamakazi are married now, too. They realized their carefree passion for each other, and had a last-minute wedding with their friends.
Naoko is currently dating a guy named Yazuha…..nothing serious yet…
Touya and Yukito eventually got married…it was a rather fun and interesting wedding to plan, involving Yukito coming down the aisle in a bunny suit and Touya wearing a Victorian-styled wedding dress with a veil……good times, let me tell you…
Everyone else lived happily ever after…
