A/N: Sorry if anyone read before I realized I missed a chapter!
.Naruto barely remembered the actual ceremony once it started, when he saw himself in the dress and long blonde locks flowed down his back and he began to dissociate. This person in the mirror copied his moves, but wasn't him.
The haze of this seemed to last the entire ceremony, he heard how the Uchiha royalty wanted the new couple to come back to their homeland to meet the elders and it only made Naruto's anxious state worse. He didn't know how he would keep it up, he already felt like today was breaking so much of his resolve.
But at least here he could physically turn and see his people, see his parents, remember why he is doing this. How would he fair, away from home, being judged, being held to higher standards?
When the haze started to clear Naruto realized he was eating some of Choji's meal, the taste dulled by his fuzzy brain still was delicious.
He vaguely remembered being told vows that he had to repeat. The whole process seeming archaic, Naruto promising to be a dutiful wife and to bend to Sasukes will and such- it made him sick.
In the Uzumaki kingdom weddings were less ruled by old church beliefs and were looser, allowing for more of the individual to shine through. Naruto always imagined that's how his wedding would be, him in a knights uniform, laughing, dancing, crying through vows his sister and he spent all week preparing... His dream wedding.
But the Uchihas were very traditional and this is their way of marriage, Naruto being from the smaller kingdom had to go by their ways.
He turned to his now husband and saw a similar robotic face to what he imagined his looked like. Both ate dutifully and Sasuke thanked the appropriate people, smiling tightly at who he must.
Blue eyes lost focus on the raven as he fell back into the haze, his excitement to meet other royalty dispersed and now all he wanted was to sleep.
"Naruto what do think of that?" A voice called out to him, breaking him from his daze.
"I'm sorry, pardon my unfocused manor.. What was the question?" Naruto asked, seeing it was his new mother-in-law speaking to him.
"Ah, I understand I could hardly keep myself together on my wedding day. My question was, how would you like to come visit in a two weeks time? I know it would be moving up the visit but I cant wait to bring you our kingdom." Mikoto said with a smile, Naruto couldn't tell the emotion behind it though.
"We have no further plans so that should be fine. Sasuke?" Naruto asked, knowing he now has to seek permission from his husband. But the only response he got was a quick nod from the raven. Naruto nodded at Mikoto and bowed slightly as his new parents left their table, accepting this answer.
Naruto looked back out to the crowd and sighed, today was defeating.
