Today is supposed to be the best day of my life, but I cannot help feeling a little blue. My mother should be here. What I wouldn't give to have her here with me today. She should be walking me down the aisle with my father. It's a custom for the bride to have both parents walk her down the aisle on her wedding day. My Gran Gran has stepped up though. I am so thankful she still has her health.
Before I can become too caught up in my sad thoughts Suki bursts into the tent to tell me I am running behind. I hold my mother's necklace by my heart before quickly slipping it back on. I hurry out of the tent. Suki leads me to where my brother, Sokka, and my father are waiting for me. They look so nice today in their ceremonial garb. They both tell me how beautiful I look. I go ahead and tell Sokka and Suki to go take their places by the alter.
Gran Gran walks up to my father and I, and she takes my hand and tells me how proud she is of me. I loop my arm through my father's right as the music begins. We begin making our way towards the aisle. We finally make it to the aisle and my heart is filled with love when I see all my closest friends beginning to rise to their feet.
Then I see him, and the tears start to form in my eyes. He looks so incredibly handsome. I'm so glad the local seamstress was able to recreate an Air Nomad for him to wear today. I see his eyes glisten. I guess I am not the only one crying today.
I begin walking down the aisle as the music swells. My tears area steady stream by this point. I just feel so loved. When I finally am standing face to face with Aang, Toph asks everyone to take a seat. She then begins the ceremony which consists of traditions from all four nations. We thought this would be especially important since Aang has worked so hard to reunite all of us. The ceremony feels like it flies by. I feel my heart flutter when Toph announces Aang and I as a married couple for the first time. We share a brief kiss. It finally happened. We are married. I can hope the rest of our marriage is filled with as much love as our wedding day.
