Early the next morning…the five girls had awoken by Raye's gong-like alarm clock.
They quickly had breakfast, and head to the formal hairdressers. Each took an hour until Mina; Lita, Amy and Raye's hair was completely done. With Serena's on the way – her long meatballs let down, and curled into long, wavy, blonde ringlets…white daisies were amongst the gleaming sight of hair. It was almost done, when the vale wouldn't sit properly…
"I'm so sorry Miss, but the vale seems to be a big problem when your hair is down…" the young woman had said, fiddling with the lacey head-dress
"Well, I did want a little tiara to hold it up for when Darien kisses me…"
"Are yes, and I think we still have a few in the back…Hmmmm, I might actually have one that may suit your standards" the lady replied, heading for a back room, and returning just as fast, and held out in front of Serena, sat a glistening little crown within the lady's hands, covered in tiny diamonds…she placed it upon Serena's hair
"Oh Serena, it looks beautiful," Lita cooed
"Do
you really think so?"
"Yeah!" Amy replied
"O.k. I'll buy it…and it'll match my dress too"
"Serena, anything would match your dress, it's white!" Raye joked, as the hairdresser was finishing up the final details of Serena's hair
"Now, that's all of you young ladies hair done…is they're anything else we could help you with?"
"Um, yes…we would like to have our make-up done…oh, and also Serena here need's to have her legs and bikini line waxed" Mina informed
"Alright…well you ladies wait here, our professional beauticians will be with you any moment, as for you Serena… would you come with me, and we'll get that wax warmed up" – signaling to another back room of the store.
"Oh my gosh!" Amy shrieked, just as Serena's make-up was being finished
"What!" the other's asked
"The wedding…it…it starts almost an hour!"
"Oh no!" Serena yelled in despair
"Calm down…your make-up is finished…" a lad with light brunette hair in a tight ponytail panicked
"Thank you so much…for all your help" Serena replied, rushing towards the counter
Paying for their hair, make-up and wax, Serena and the other girls quickly rushed out of the hairdressers, and head back to Mina's to get their dresses on, when it was time for them to arrive at the church out of town
It took around 20minutes to arrive there; Mina escorted Serena to the back room of the church to where that had to come out from, while Amy, Raye and Lita met Darien and Andrew in the hall
"Is she nervous?" Darien asked shakily, after talking to the priest
"Sort of…but, not about the actual wedding…" Lita replied,
"Oh…listen I haven't seen her for almost 24hours, could you please tell her that I love her, and I'll see her at the end of the alter…" – walking through the double doors to stand at the alter.
The music was playing softly, the many seats were now filled and crowed with whispers and wait for the arrival of the bride, Darien, Andrew ad his other two friends were now standing with the priest, eagerly waiting for the bride, when the traditional bridal march began to play – the two sides of the hall stood, to watch as the first the three brides maids slowly strode to the left side of the alter, shortly after Mina had approached them, when Serena quickly followed her friends footsteps…in pure white, hair down tha curled around her face, holding a bouquet of white and pink roses – Serena with a curved smile, showing the appealing cheekbone that started her jaw-line. Quickening the pace down the alter, she could feel a strange feeling overcome her, her hands began to shake lightly as tears started to dwell in her eyes. When Serena finally reached the alter to meet her true-love, Darien
"You look beautiful," he whispered, taking her hand in his, as they both gazed at each other, then at the priest ready for the opening speech.
"We are gathered here today…" – he began, with still her hands in Darien's, Serena just couldn't keep her mind on what the priest was saying…with that same gleaming smile upon her lips – all Serena could do was stare into Darien's gleaming dark, heaven-like eyes.
"Do you Darien Shields: take this fine young woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, will you cherish every moment with her as if it were your last night on earth, will you continue to love, care and be supportive of her needs, through sickness and in health until death do you part?"
"I do…"
"And do you Serena Tsukino: take this fine young man to be your lawfully wedded husband. Will you be loyal to him, cherish every moment with as if it were your last night on earth. Will you continue to love, care and be supportive to his needs through sickness and in health until death do you part?"
"…Yes, I do!" – her respond full of emotion and love
"If anyone were to object to this marriage, speak now or forever hold you peace…" – the priest paused – "…I now pronounce you husband and wife…Darien, you may kiss your bride…"
Gently lifting the vale from out of Serena's glistening eyes, tipping her chin up, as Darien leant down and kissed her passionately, hearing the crowd of people stand and clap their hands to the new couple, Serena opened her eyes as they slowly broke the kiss, and gazed out towards the hall in front of them, before moving in to kiss once more.
Well there you go…another chapter just up. Well it was sort of short but the romance is shown. Well sadly to say this is the 2nd last chapter before it ends…for now anyway. But don't worry the last chapter – The Honeymoon, will have lots of passion and romance, so I must warn you now that it will be rated around MA to R depending what's actually involved. Well anyway…hope you like this story, and keep an eye out for the sequel…bye guys, remember to read and review…
