"Nick, your tie is not going to get any straighter no matter how much you mess with it." Stu said while looking at his soon to be son-in-law and shook his head.
"Stu I want everything to be perfect, this is Judy's big day and I want everything to go smoothly." Nick was standing in front of a mirror that was brought to the gardens to help them get dressed. Nick already had Stu look over his dress uniform but after putting it on he stood in front of the mirror for twenty minutes going over it again.
"It's a day for both of you Nick. It's the most important day next to the birth of your kits." Stu got up from his chair and walked over to the fox. He looked at him in the mirror watching Nick fret over his uniform. He reached up putting a comforting paw on his shoulder, "Nick, you look fine, just relax. Trust me, once you see Judy walking down the aisle towards you nothing else is going to matter."
Nick stopped and looked at Stu in the mirror, he had a far-away look in his damp eyes. He turned and looked at the older rabbit, "I love her with ever fiber of my body Stu. I don't want to mess anything up."
Stu looked up at Nick as a smile crept across his face, "Nick, the only way you could mess this up is by not being there. You've already overcome the hard part of having her say yes to marrying you."
Nick dealt down as tears began to form in Stu's eyes. "Asking her was the easy part, getting your permission is what scared me. But you accepted me and for that, I am eternally grateful. I promise to always care for her until my dying breath. I will always be there for her no matter what." He pulled Stu into a hug as he began to cry.
"I know that, Nick, Bonnie and I both know you will. That's why these are not sad tears, they're happy ones. I know she's not a little bunny anymore. She's found a mammal who truly cares for her and make her happy." Stu pulled out of Nick's hug and looked him straight in the eyes. "I'm happy it's you. Yes, I didn't accept you with open arms when you first said you two were dating, but I'm glad you gave us a second chance. You proved me wrong, and I have never been more thankful for it. You truly are what's best for Judy and I am proud to have you as a son-in-law."
This time, it was Nick who had tears coming from his eyes. He was finally accepted and regained the family he lost so many years ago. He pulled Stu into a tight hug and had it returned just as tightly. "You bunnies, so emotional."
"Yo, I need to come back or something. You two having a moment" The deep baritone of Finnick broke the embrace of the two as he was pushed in by Judy's sister Dorthy, they looked at each other and chuckled. Nick stood back up and walked over to his friend in the wheelchair.
He reached down and shook the other fox's paw, "I'm glad you were able to make it, Finnick."
"You kidding right, I wouldn't pass up free booze. Besides maybe I'll see what this whole getting married thing is all about and see if it's for me."
Stu let out a deep laugh. "Marriage isn't just about the wedding, there's so much more that goes into it. You need to be there for her in both mind and body, take care of her when she looks like the most beautiful mammal in the world and when she's bent over a toilet sick from a fever. You need to communicate, don't hold any secrets from each other, and never ever go to bed angry."
"Why is that, dad?" Dorthy asked looking quizzically at her father.
Stu sat down on a chair and took a deep breath, all the other mammals just looked at the elder fox in silence. "If you go to bed each night after talking about your problems and arguments with solutions to them and no regrets you will wake up each morning with a clean slate ready to work anew. However, if you leave things unsaid and go to bed angry without talking it will plant a seed, that seed will then be there in the morning and will have started to take root. Eventually, if it stays long enough it will grow and choke out the garden you are both trying to grow together. Weeding can help but once the seed is planted it's nearly impossible to remove, so talk through your problems and never go to bed angry with each other."
They all sat in silence for a while before Nick came over and placed a paw on Stu's shoulder, "Thank you, Stu. I will be sure to remember that and rest assured, even if we have to stay up all night until the sun rises me and Judy will work through any problems we may have."
Stu closed his eyes and smiled, "I know you will Nick, you two have been through so much together there's no way you would ever let her go or do anything to hurt her. She's one lucky mammal."
There was a knock on the door that grabbed everyone's attention as Bonnie poked her head in, "It's time everyone. Nick you and the groomsmen need to be upfront and Stu, it's time to get Judy." They all nodded and walked out the room into the bright sunlight towards to alter that was set up in the rose garden.
Judy stared out the second story window overlooking the gardens, everything looked perfect from what she could see. the chairs all arranged in nice neat rows, flowers draped over the ends of them, the altar was set up under a small shelter to keep them out of the direct sunlight. She saw Nick walking behind Finnick as Dorthy pushed his wheelchair up the aisle.
She took a deep breath and moved back to the mirror to look one last time in it, the gown hung perfectly on her toned body and she couldn't wait until Nick saw her. She patted and smoothed out a few ruffles and closed her eyes trying her best to relax.
A knock at the door brought her attention back, "Judy it's time. Are you ready?"
"Yes, mom." She opened her eyes and turned around to see both her mom and dad standing there in the doorway. "Dad?" Judy started walking towards her father before he put up a paw stopping her.
"Stay there a little longer, let me look at you." Judy stopped and smiled, tilting her head down slightly and putting her paws behind her back.
"Do you like it, dad?" Judy looked up to see the tears already falling from Stu's eyes. She started walking towards him again pulling him into a tight hug.
"You look beautiful, dear. Nick is one lucky mammal." He pulled away slightly looking at his daughter and how much she had grown since leaving the farm. He didn't even to hold back the tears, he just let them flow freely down his cheeks.
"Thank you, dad," Judy said wiping a tear from her one eye, "I'm so happy you have finally completely accepted Nick to be my husband. I can't wait to have him forever and spend many holidays down on the farm with you guys."
"Well, you are always more than welcome to visit anytime you want. Don't bother knocking, just make yourselves at home."
"Okay dad," She stuck her arm out for Stu, "I think we've made them wait long enough. Shall we?"
Stu took one more look at her before taking her arm, "Yes, I think we have. Let's go and make an honest bunny out of you."
Nick stood at the altar wringing his paws together, even with doing hustles against mob bosses this was the most nervous he had even been. "Calm down, Nick," Finnick had wheeled himself over to Nick and punched him in the arm, "She chose you, for reasons I don't understand, but she did. Now just stand there and wait for her."
Nick looked down at him and smiled, "Thanks. I'm just so nervous, even when we first met Mr. Big I wasn't this nervous."
"That's because it was supposed to just be a quick hustle and then be done, this is for the rest of your life. She's worth it though, right?"
"Absolutely. She is worth everything we've been through over the past two years. The movies, dinners, cases we've cracked, near death experiences. I wouldn't trade any of it, I honestly don't know how I lived before knowing her." Nick thought back to all the crazy adventures they had over the past few years, what adventures would be in store for them in the coming years. He didn't really care so long as his Judy was by his side the whole time.
Nick was pulled out of his memories with the sound of the bridal march being played, everyone stood as Nick's jaw dropped open. There she was, standing with her father at the end of the isle in the most beautify wedding gown he had ever seen. From the veil that thinly covered her face to the tight fitting waistline, it was perfection. Their eyes met and as they stared at each other all of their fears and worries melted away. It was just them, no one else mattered.
Stu guided her down until they reached the spot Nick was waiting. He leaned in and kissed her cheek then turned to Nick, "Nick, I give you her paw in hopes you will honor and care for her as I have over the past few years. You have proven yourself several times over that you truly do deserve her." Stu passed Judy's paw to Nick, as their paws met Stu covered them with his. "I believe you two have a very long path in front of you, it will be rocky, but together you two can accomplish anything. Just keep each other in your hearts and nothing will hold you back."
All three mammals had tears in their eyes and Stu released them and walked back to his seat, several other mammals could be heard sniffing and crying. Nick and Judy started at each other for a moment before turning the walk to the altar.
"Everyone please, be seated." The old silver furred lion waited until all the noises had stopped before continuing. "We have gathered here today to witness the joining of Judith Laverne Hopps and Nicholas Piberius Wilde. When they first came to me I could hardly believe it, why would a rabbit and fox want to get married? Even knowing who they were, as cops, I asked them if they were on drugs, or even drunk. But after having them in my chambers for an hour listening to their story I knew they were meant for each other. I have officiated several weddings, even a few mixed species but these two have a bond with the strength I have not seen before."
Nick and Judy looked at each other and smiled as he pulled her tight to his side, enticing a couple of aww's from the crowd. The lion continued "With this being a simple affair, and the father of the bride already giving sound advice, I believe we can move right onto the vows. Nick, Judy. Please face each other, then say your vows to each other."
"Judy, I will laugh with you in times of joy, and comfort you in times of sorrow. I will share in your dreams and support you as you strive to achieve your goals. I will listen to you with compassion and understanding, and speak to you with encouragement. Together, let us build a home filled with learning, laughter, and light, shared freely with all who may live there. Let us be partners, friends and lovers, today and all of the days that follow." Judy started to tear as the words left Nicks muzzle.
"Nick, I take you as you are, loving who you are now and who you are yet to become. I promise to listen to you and learn from you, to support you and accept your support. I will celebrate your triumphs and mourn your losses as though they were my own. I will love you and have faith in your love for me, through all our years and all that life may bring us."
More tears were shed as the two mammals spoke their vows knowing it came from deep within their hearts. "Nicholas and Judith by the power invested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. Nick, you may kiss the bride."
Nick lifted up the veil from Judy's face looking into her amethyst eyes, leaning in he took her muzzle in his paws and pulled her into a deep kiss. They couple getting completely lost in each other. Everyone stood and cheered, the sound echoing all throughout the gardens.
They separated and smiled at each other until the roar from everyone cheering finally brought them back. They turned and smiled lightly chuckling at everyone cheering for them. After a few minutes, the roar finally died down enough for the Lion to speak, "Everyone I am very proud to present Mr. and Mrs. Wilde."
This started up another loud cheer as they kissed again then walked down the isle the largest smiles they ever had plaster to their muzzles. Finnick and Fru-Fru, carried by Kevin, followed them down the aisle to wait at the end and thank everyone for coming. "Okay, ladies and gentle mammals that concludes the ceremony. You can meet the happy couple in the back and there will be a reception at the Butterfly Garden pavilion." He then walked down the aisle and stood behind Nick and Judy as the guests left congratulating them.
Clawhauser was all tears as he walked up to Nick and Judy encompassing both of them together in a huge hug which lifted them off the ground. "I'm so happy for you two. Judy, I expect an invite to the baby shower when it happens."
They all laughed as he set them down, "Of course Ben, you'll be the first one invited when it happens."
Judy looked at Nick with a huge smile, he had said when not if it happens. She wasn't sure if Nick had a slip of works or not, but the smile and nod he returned let her know he meant what he had said. Judy giggled and looked down surprised she was able to get even more happy then she already was.
With the amount of mammals they had it took thirty minutes for all the guests to file out of their seats and past the couple. As the guests made their way to the reception pavilion, Nick and Judy, with the rest of the bridal party, made their way to another part of the gardens to get their pictures done. They made several stops to get some classic pictures along with some fun ones where Nick almost ended up in a lake due to him trying to pick up Finnick like his bride. The little fox didn't take to kindly to it and nearly did bite Nicks' face, he dropped Finnick while backing away and tripped over a log falling over and barely stopping himself from going into the water.
They finally made their way to the reception where the party was already in full swing, several mammals were outside with drinks conversing amongst themselves as they walked up. Chief Bogo was outside when he noticed them appear, he moved to stand in front of them and held up a hoof.
"I just want to say I'm very happy for you two, I really didn't know what to expect when you both joined the force. I honestly thought you would both quit after a few days but I'm glad you proved me wrong. Then you two started dating and I was scared I would have to break up to best team I've seen in years, I hope that this new union together will strengthen that bond to be unshatterable. All I ask is to keep each other safe and Nick," He glared at Nick like he was trying to see into his soul, "don't you go making my best officer go on maternity leave too soon." Nick and Judy just stood there, Judy turning several shades of red until Bogo finally couldn't hold it in anymore and let out a huge laugh that made everyone turn and look at the buffalo.
He looked down at them, "Just kidding!" He patted Nick on the shoulder, almost knocking him flat, and walked inside to join the rest of the guests leave Nick and Judy looking at each other very confused.
Nick finally shrugged, "I guess we better join the party, they are all here because of us."
Judy pulled him down for another kiss, "Yes lets, I've been dying to finally try our wedding cake."
"Well then let's not keep our fans waiting then." He took Judy's arm and led her into the pavilion. "Whats going on here, we got some noise complaints to look into."
All the guests stopped and looked at Nick, no-one making a sound. Finally, someone called out, "I thought you were off duty."
Nick looked down at Judy who just shrugged, "They are right Nick, we technically are off duty."
"Well I guess we have no choice then," Nick pulled Judy to the middle of the dance floor as the other mammals made a circle around them, Nick threw up his paws "Let's party!"
There was a return shout as other mammals joined them on the dance floor the DJ blaring music from the speakers. The wolverine wedding co-ordinator started pulling at his fur, "The dancing was not supposed to be until later. Right now they were supposed to be doing their announcement and procession in and going straight to the head table to eat. Now the meals
were not going to be out in time, the first dance was in ruins as they were already on the dance floor. What else could go wrong, why can't mammals just stick to a plan it would make my life so much easier."
Luckily the DJ understood and only played a few songs before calling for all mammals to sit down for the dinner to be served. It was a simple affair, a small suit salad appetizer followed by a choice of two different salad and fish choices. Everyone complimented the meal as it filled bellies all around, Nick and Judy getting small bites in between the clinking of glasses for the two mammals to kiss. They chuckled each time they heard the sound but had no problem in enjoying the closeness.
Finally, it came time to cut the cake as everyone clapped while Gideon rolled in a 3 tiered carrot and blueberry cake. They made their way to it and Nick made a scene of inspecting every detail to make sure it was to his liking. Nick reached out with a paw to get a taste of frosting as Judy came up behind him and slide a knife into the spot where he was reaching. He jumped back with a fake shocked expression on his face. Judy fixed that, by taking the small piece she cut from the cake and smashing it into his muzzle.
Wine, champagne, and beer flowed freely loosening up even the tightest mammals at the party as the dancing started back up again. Chief Bogo making a spectacle of himself doing the sprinkler and when he went to pull his leg up fell flat on his face nearly squashing Bonnie and Stu who were dancing nearby.
This led a new series of laughing as Clawhauser and Francine pulled the buffalo into a nearby chair. This allowed the DJ to lower the music as he called for Nick and Judy, "So mammals I know things went a bit out of order but we do have a special dance to perform. Nick and Judy would you please make your way to the center of the dance floor, we have two special guests who have come to play for you.
A white sheet was pulled off something near the head table revealing a grand piano and cello. Judy's paws went to her mouth as two otters went to the instruments, she looked up at Nick who just had a warm smile looking at his bride. Judy started to tear up as the first notes were played, "Nick, this is.."
"Yes it is, Judy, this song was our first dance together. I want it to be our first dance as husband and wife, this is to be our song, Judy."
She smiled and pulled herself into him holding him in a tight embrace, "It's perfect Nick, thank you." They separated as the music picked up and they began to dance. As they slowly moved around the dance floor everything else seemed to disappear and the only thing they saw was each other. Lost in each other eyes they saw the future they wanted to build with each other, progression at the precinct, owning a home, starting a family. All of it laid out before them and when they realized they both were thinking the same things they leaned in and shared a very passionate kiss.
The cheers and clapping brought them back to the present and they realized the music had finished long before and all eyes were on them. They walked off the dance floor and thanked the musicians as other mammals went back onto the dance floor.
The dancing and party went late into the night, it was past midnight by the time the last glass of champaign was drank and the last goodbye was said. Nick and Judy were cuddled together
riding along in the back of the limo heading to the Oasis hotel. Renalto was kind enough to put the divider up immediately as Nick and Judy couldn't keep their paws off each other as they entered the limo.
Separating from another passionate kiss the two mammals caught their breath while staring at each other smiling. "Nick," Judy reached up and placed her paw on his muzzle, "if this is a dream please don't wake me up. I want to just stay here forever, with you in my paws… OUCH!"
She glared at Nick who just grinned, "What? Now you know you're not dreaming. Besides if I was dreaming I would want you to wake me so I could win you over in the real world all over again." He pulled her into his chest just listening to her breathing soothing him.
The ride was fairly short to the hotel, stepping out Judy had to strain her neck and head all the way back to see the top. "Wow, Nick, and where is out room."
"That's my other secret for the night, you'll just have to wait and see. Renalto, see you in two days." Nick turned to the jaguar and gave him a wink.
"Absolutely Nick, have fun you two." He said with a smile and drove off.
They walked into the hotel and thankfully with it being later in the night the lobby was quite, however cheering and the sounds of glasses clinking together could be heard coming from the casino. Moving to the counter for smaller mammals they rang the bell as a porcupine walked out from a back office. "May I help you… Oh Mr. Wilde, one second and I'll get your key." He reached under the counter and pulled out a key card handing it to Nick.
"Thank you Ray, and is everything setup?"
"Yes Nick, things are setup just as you asked."
Nick nodded as he and Judy walked to the elevator when it reached the lobby. Nick slid his keycard and the elevator closed and started to move up. Judy gave a concerned look to the fox who couldn't remove the smile from his face.
The elevator doors opened causing Judy to just stare into the room. Nick stepped over and picked Judy up in his arms causing a slight giggle as he carried her forward. The room was the topmost penthouse of the hotel. The view was breathtaking, overlooking the entire city in all its neon lit glamour. A table was situated next to the window with all manner of fruit and chocolates arranged across the top, it looked good but Nick didn't set her down and kept walking down a short hallway as he nudged open a door with his foot. Going inside Judy got a huge smile on her face, on the huge bed purple rose petals were scattered around and a bottle of champaign was in an ice bath nearby. A large jetted tub was situated near one of the large bay windows giving a great view of the city.
"So what do you think, Judy?" Nick looked down the see tears forming in her eyes.
"It's perfect Nick, now why don't you make your way to the bed." Nicks' eyebrows shot up as his eyes grew wide. "What? Nick, I told you it was going to be a long month after snuggling on the couch after rescuing Finnick. Well, that month is over now and we're married. Only one thing left to do now." Nick set Judy down softly on the bed bringing his mouth to meet hers, as her paws reached inside helping him to slide out of his dress jacket.
Nick stood up letting it slid down to the floor as Judy sat up and slowly unbuttoned his shirt pulling it back exposing his red and cream chest fur. Judy ran her paws through his rough outer fur down into the softer undercoat, pulling herself into his chest rubbing her cheek taking in his scent. His soft whimpers took her away from her nuzzling as she looked up into the emerald eyes longing for her. She turned around slowly lifting her ears, "Mind helping me with the button and zipper Nick."
Judy felt his paws lightly tremble as he undid the top buttons but settled out as he slid the zipper down stopping just above her tail. He started to slide it away until she reached back and grabbed his paws, "Nick, let me, please. Sit on the bed and close your eyes."
Nick did as he was told and sat there wondering what she had planned. "Okay. Open them."
Nick slowly cracked his eyes open savoring the sight in front of him, his muzzle dropping open. She was standing there in a near see through white satin corset top stopping halfway up her modest breasts. The panties might as well not have been there as they left nothing to the imagination, allowing Nick to observe all the different shades of her fur. "Judy, wow. From going to using the bathroom and showers completely separate to this, wow. What has gotten into you, not that I mind at all!"
Judy slowly walked up to Nick and climbed up into his lap so her paws straddled him and looked right into his eyes. "My fox is what's gotten into me, or at least he will be very soon." She grabbed his face in her paws pulling him into a very passionate kiss, their tongues intertwining as Nick reached down and undid his pants sliding both them and his boxers down in one swift motion.
While still locked in the kiss he grabbed her by the waist and spun the around gently laying her down on the bed. He pushed himself up looking down and savoring the sight of her under him, one ear partial covering her face as her paws played with it, a sly grin growing on her muzzle. "Like what you see?"
"Very much so my love." Him saying my love sent a slight chill down her spine.
"Well then," She reached down and slid the panties off her legs, "Why don't you truly make me Mrs. Wilde then. Just take it easy at first."
"Of course, we'll go at your pace to make sure I won't hurt you."
"I know you would never hurt me on purpose, now come here." She pulled him down on top of her feeling him pressing against her. He went slow, just rocking his hips side to side and up and down savoring the warmth she was giving off, Judy letting out soft moans and chirps in response.
Nick lined himself up and spoke very softly, "Are you ready, Judy?" She didn't open her mouth except to pull his to her and gently pushed her hips to his feeling the pressure as they became one body. She dropped her head back to the bed as they deepened the connection, the moaning getting louder. He was the perfect gentle mammal, deepening the contact slightly then pausing, Allowing Judy to adjust by moving her hips around to get used to the fullness. When she and Nick were finally completely together he pulled her in for a deep passionate kiss, just laying there experiencing the new feeling of being a mated couple.
After a few minutes of kissing and caressing each other Judy finally started moving her hips up and down against Nick, "As nice as it is to just lie here cuddling, I think were ready to experience more of each other."
Nick's grin grew wild on his face, "As you wish." He started to match her movements as best he could, with both of them being the first time it took a while to get the rhythm together. However, it wasn't long before the slow gentle movements had grown into the fast hard throws of passion. Grunts and moans filled then entire room as both mammals let go and just let nature take control.
Judy was nearing her release and could fell Nick's building as well, "Nick… I want… all.. of you in me." Judy spoke between gasps of air.
Nick slowed his movements down as a whine but from Judy, "Are you sure? I don't want to hurt you."
Judy wrapped all her limbs around her husband, "You would never hurt me on purpose, I want this and I know you do too. We'll never know if it will work unless we try. Now I want us completely together." Nick picked up the pace again with Judy pulling him in tighter and tighter. She felt her climax right on the edge and with one of Nick thrusts she pulled with her powerful leg muscles and threw her head back as his knot locked them together.
The sensation sending both mammals over the edge as they cried out each other's names than their muzzles crashing into each other. Judy could feel the warmth growing inside her and she felt Nick shudder onto of her.
Separating from their kiss Nick rolled them onto their sides so as to not crush Judy under him. Their heavy panting now filling the room as they tried to get as close as possible to each other. Judy curled up against his chest as nick placed his chin on her head and wrapped her completely with his paws and tail. A slowly rumble almost like a purr escaped from Judy as she felt Nick run his paws down her ears and back.
"Nick that was amazing, it was more than I ever imagined."
"I still can't believe it's true Judy, but feeling you in my paws and your scent filling my nose I know it's true. I am never going to let you go." He gave her an extra squeeze and nuzzled his muzzle across the top of her head.
"Well, physically you can't even let me go even if you wanted to right now." She giggled thinking about how they were stuck together for the next thirty or so minutes. "But I could get used to mandatory cuddle time, very used to it."
"As could I." Nick ran his paws down both her ears lightly using his claws to rake her skin underneath sending jolts down her body.
After thirty minutes of cuddling and small chatting, they finally separated, "Want to take a shower and clean up Judy."
"Yes please, I don't know how hard it's going to be to get this stuff out of fur."
Judy hopped down from the bed and instantly fell to the floor, Nick was by her side immediately, "Judy are you alright, I did hurt you didn't I?"
"No Nick you didn't, well not really. I'm just, sore. You're definitely are bigger than expected and Fru-Fru was right, I'm not going to walk right for a week."
Nick laughed, "Well at least we have a week off for you to recover properly. If you are really are alright I'll go get the shower going." "Yes, I am, just give me a little bit to get my legs working again."
Nick kissed her on the top of her head and walked into the bathroom and started up the shower, messing with the dial several times to get the temperature just right. He was about to call for Judy when he felt a familiar set of paws wrap around his waist.
"Water's ready, carrots. Ladies, first." He held the door open for Judy as she used the wall to brace herself walking in.
"Thank you, Nick."
They had planned on a quick shower just to clean up but it lasted for a lot longer than expected. The first time showering together they used the opportunity to fully explore each other, Judy learning Nick had a silver tongue in more way than one and needed to be carried back to the bed after they were dried off.
"So Judy, ready to get some shut-eye." Nick rolled onto his side looking at his bunny who was staring at him with a fire in her eyes. She pushed him over onto his back and climbed over him straddling his chest.
"What did I tell you when we first met, we bunnies are good at multiplying. I plan to prove that to you as long as my body holds up." She gave him a slight kiss before sliding herself down remaking the union they now shared, this time, making the connection in one push letting out a loud purr in satisfaction.
"What have I done?" ran through Nick's mind as he placed his paws on her hips and joined in the motion she was creating, a bond they would share several times over the two days they stayed in the hotel.
