"Is everyone ready?" the Dugtrio Elder asked.

"Almost!" We answered in sync. Destiny formed a shell as if Mega Evolving, but came out with a long, flowing dress. I shortened my ribbons and tails and made my fur a few shades darker, accenting my rings.

"Let's begin," I said.

"Very well," the Elder chuckled. "Friends, we are gathered here today to witness the beloved unification of Destiny and Tenkai. In their relatively short time together, their love has blossomed due to a powerful moment in their lives: the creation of life. And so, they have decided to live out their lives together. In human cultures, marriage symbolizes the extent that the two will travel to appease the other. By joining in matrimony, you both agree to love each other for the rest of your lives, with only death doing you part. The couple may now say their vows."

We both turned to face each other as Destiny started. "Tenkai, from the moment I first met you, I knew in my mind, body, and spirit that our unison would one day be greatly rewarded. Today, I see that this prophecy has become truthful. I know that you and I will do great things, and we will be the greatest we can possibly be for Sam."

"Destiny," I began, "From the moment I first heard about you, one question bounced around in my head: 'Will she like me?' I kept asking myself that question almost talking myself out of meeting you. But I'm glad I did meet you, because some of the best moments of my life have happened here, with you. I look forward to what the future holds."

The Elder let out a sniffle. "That was glorious! Now it is time for the presentation of the rings."

Our rings materialized in the air, and we caught them. I slipped her ring onto her finger.

"Now, where would mine… Oh!" I exclaimed as I fused my tails together.

"Seems right." Destiny walked behind me and slipped the ring down my tail. It stopped about halfway down, floating there as it started to glow. Destiny returned to her original position.

"Tenkai, do you take Destiny to be your wife?"

"I do."

"And, Destiny, do you take Tenkai to be your husband?"

"I do. Wholeheartedly, I do."

"Then I now pronounce you Mixeon and Lopunny. You may kiss the bride."

I pulled Destiny in and kissed her. As I finished, a large smile formed on my face. "We're married now!"

"We are!" Destiny said excitedly. "I have no words to describe my elation!"

I looked back at my ring, which now had archaic symbols inscribed in it. "I didn't make it do this. Wait, I recognize these symbols. Oh, that's perfect! It reads, 'Love is forever. 'Till death do us part.'"


SO...

FUCKING...

CRINGE...
