A/N- I decided to skip the bachelor and bachelorette parties and go straight to the good stuff. Enjoy and tell me what you think.

Even with all the preparations, the planning, and the parties, the wedding didn't seem real to Fina until the morning of. They stayed at the hotel where they held her bachelorette party which also happened to be across the street from St. Patrick's Cathedral where she would be married. And even she didn't fully believe that she was going to be married the very next morning.

Joleena woke her promptly at seven am with a coffee in her hand and a bright eager smile.

"Bonjour!" She piped brightly. "Come! Come! Let's get you up and ready!"

"What?" Fina yawned and tried to get her eyes to focus. "What's going on?"

"Why your wedding day of course!" Joleena grinned.

"What!?" Fina leapt out of bed. "It's today!?"

"Yes, yes today!" Joleena pushed the coffee in her hands. "Now get up so we can start getting you ready."

San-Li stirred with a groan and cracked one eye open. "What the hell is the poodle barking about now?"

"I'm getting married." Fina felt her stomach flip flop. "I'm actually getting married."

Joleena finally ran out of patience and used her magic to yank the covers off of everyone. "Up! Everyone get up!"

Fina and the rest of her bridal party sat down to a quick breakfast before all the madness really began. Joleena took her own cup of coffee and left to make sure the guys were up and getting ready. Freddi, Fred's great granddaughter and her's too, smiled at her.

"Are you okay?" She asked softly. "You're barely touching your food."

Fina jumped and gave her a shaky smile. "Y-yeah I'm fine. Just a little nervous I guess."

But now San-Li was staring at her with a look of uncertainty so Fina ate a bite of yogurt to prove she was okay, but her stomach fluttered and she wanted to throw it up again.

"It's not too late to turn back you know." San-Li said quietly. "You can always – "

"I'm fine." Fina said quickly. "Its just nerves, nothing more."

"It's her wedding day, who wouldn't be nervous?" Anna said. "Especially with how big and extravagant Joleena made it."

"Everything I do is extravagant." Joleena said coming back into the room. "Now are you guys almost finished eating? We have so much work to do before Fina walks down the aisle!"

They knew it was no use arguing with her so they took turns taking quick showers and headed over to the cathedral and into the rooms that had been set aside for them to get ready in. Hair dressers, make up artists, and stylists surrounded them and made them over. The next few hours seemed to fly by in a few minutes.

The bride's maids dresses were baby blue lacy sheath dresses with a bateau neckline and inverted tulip skirt. Fina watched as the hair stylists and make up artists dolled everyone up and then it was her turn. She was sat in a chair in a simple white under dress as they applied her make up and curled her hair.

The dress makers from Paris Joleena hired pulled out Fina's wedding dress and showed it to her.

Fina gasped at the mere sight of it. She had tried different versions of it on of course, but time after time Joleena had sent it back to Paris for final adjustments. And now it was more unbelievable than Fina could have ever imagined.

Her wedding dress was pure white with a sweetheart neckline lines with crystals. It had a large ballgown style skirt covered in transparent tulle fabric and even more crystals and mini pearls. The veil was a gold head piece with blue amber stones, and seemingly miles of transparent silk.

"Well..." Joleena grinned eagerly. "What do you think? Incredible, no?"

"Yeah, incredible." Fina swallowed hard. "Um, excuse me for a minute. I'm... going to use the bathroom."

San-Li gave her a look, but Fina quickly hopped off of her chair and practically ran into the bathroom. She emptied her stomach into the toilet and took several deep breathes.

"Why am I so nervous?" She whispered to herself. "I love Fred. I really do."

But when she looked into the mirror a completely terrified face stared back at her. It suddenly felt a hundred degrees too warm in the bathroom and she tried splashing her face with cold water but ended up smudging her make up. A sudden knocking on the door made her yelp in surprise.

"Fina?" San-Li called out. "You alright in there? I thought I heard you throwing up."

"I'm – I'm fine." Fina called back, scrubbing the make up off her face. "Just- just give me a second okay?"

"Not too many seconds though, s'il vous plait!" Joleena called. "We still have to get you into your dress and veil. And you go down the aisle in three hours!"

"Will you shut up Frenchie!? The poor girl is nervous enough as it is."

"There's nothing to be nervous about! I worked my butt off to make sure this wedding goes off without a hitch!"

Fina tuned out yet another one of their arguments and her eyes drifted towards the bathroom window. Air. All she needed was some fresh air. She opened the window and the next thing she knew she was standing outside on the ledge.

"I'm sorry Fred." She whispered.

She then turned around, grabbed the ledge above her, and climbed onto the roof.

"So how nervous are you?" Joe asked as they got dressed. "In less than three hours you'll be a married man."

"Dude I'm not nervous at all." Fred shot him a cocky grin. "Being married to Fina is going to be so sweet and easy. She's just so... perfect."

"Wow, you have quite a way with words, Fred." Sam rolled his eyes sarcastically. "Please tell me you wrote your own vows."

"Okay first, shut up and second, Joleena would have killed us if we tried to write our own vows." Fred frowned when his tie didn't come out straight and loosened it to do it over again. "Anyways, I take it as a good thing that you and San-Li are going together?"

Sam sighed and tried fixing Alex's hair. "I wish I could say it was my idea, but it was Joleena who talked her into it. Something about not letting us... taking a break mess with her careful planning."

"But still, maybe you can use this as an opportunity to win her back over." Fred shrugged. "I hear ex's get back together at weddings all the time."

"We're not ex's Fred, we're..." Sam sighed heavily. "It's complicated."

"You guys have been broken up for more than six months, Sam." Joe said quietly. "I think you're officially ex's now."

Sam shot him a glare and Alex patted his hand sympathetically. Fred tried tying his tie again and found that his hands were shaking. He took a deep breath and flexed his fingers. He wasn't nervous. There was no way he could be nervous. He loved Fina, he had no doubt at all about that.

But this wedding was a lot more than he bargained for. What if he screwed up? What if he stumbled and knocked something over? Or forgot his vows? Fina would never forgive him and could regret ever saying yes to him.

Fred cleared his throat. "Hey, um, I'm going to step out for a minute for some fresh air. I'll be right back."

"You alright Fred?" Joe asked looking at him closely. "You look a little pale."

"I'm fine." Fred quickly took off his tux jacket as sweat pricked his underarms. "I just need some air."

He practically ran out of the room and walked down the hallway, feeling his heart pound in his chest. He was going to mess up, he just knew it. Fina was too perfect for an idiot like him. She deserved someone so much better, someone as perfect as she was. He spotted a window and quickly went over to it. Opening it wide, he carefully climbed out and stepped onto the ledge.

"I'm sorry, Fina." He whispered.

He then turned around, grabbed onto the ledge above him, and climbed onto the roof.

"Fina." San-Li knocked on the door fifth time. "Fina, open up please."

"What the hell is she doing!?" Joleena hissed angrily. "The wedding starts in less than two hours!"

San-Li ignored her and pressed her ear against the door. She didn't hear anything on the other side. Uh-oh. She took a pin out of her hair and picked the lock. The door swung open revealing an open window and … nothing else.

"Oh, geez." San-Li sighed. "I knew she was freaking out."

"Well, where could she have gone?" Joleena asked. "The wedding starts in two hours! We can't just leave everyone waiting. Especially the groom."

"Chill, she has to be somewhere." San-Li pushed her aside and headed to the door. "Just give me a few minutes and I'll find her."

She opened the door and came face to face with Sam. His jaw dropped when he saw her and she hated to admit it, but he looked pretty good. They hadn't really been face to face since the break up and that time when he drove her home from a bar a few months ago. The tux he was wearing fit him perfectly and the cologne he was wearing made her knees weak.

"Wow," Sam breathed with a small smile. "You look... beautiful."

"Um, thanks I-" San-Li shook her head to clear it. "We have a problem. Fina's gone."

"Her too?" Sam blinked in surprise. "I was just coming to ask you if you've seen Fred because we can't find him either."

"That's not good. Joleena will freak if this wedding doesn't happen."

Sam shrugged and gave a weak laugh. "Well maybe if they don't show up we could-"

"I'm seeing someone." San-Li lied quickly. "Besides, this wedding is for them, not us. Let's work together and try to find them."

"Right." Sam swallowed and looked away. "I was just joking. Let's hurry up and find our friends before Joleena kills us all."

Fina couldn't stop her tears from falling. She was a horrible person. Fred deserved someone as brave and strong as he was, not a coward like her. The roof tiles cut into her feet as she walked around the spires. Good. She deserved the pain. She deserved cut, sore, and bloody feet without the ability to heal. She deserved-

"Fina?"

She looked up to see Fred coming towards her. Fresh tears sprung to her eyes and she looked away, unable to face him. Fred stopped right in front of her and didn't say anything for a long while.

"I'm sorry." He whispered finally. "I didn't mean to make you cry."

Fina shook her head and struggled to keep her voice steady. "I'm sorry I ran away, it's not that I don't love you-"

"Wait." Fred tilted her face up to look at him. "You mean, you aren't up here looking for me?"

"No." Fina blinked in confusion. "I- I didn't know you were up here. I thought you were looking for me."

Fred chuckled and shook his head. "I guess we both freaked out, huh?"

Fina nodded and started wringing her hands together. Fred took her hands in his and gently kissed her fingertips.

"I'm sorry." She said quietly. "Its just... I guess I just panicked. I felt so scared with everything going on and everything being so extravagant."

"I know exactly what you mean." Fred laughed. "I was so scared of messing up that I couldn't even tie my tie right."

Fina smiled and fixed it for him. "I guess we should have gone to Vegas huh? All this extravagance and elegance makes me nervous."

"Hey," Fred cupped her face and smiled at her. "Remember that day I proposed to you? You told me that at first you were too afraid to say yes to me?"

"Yes." Fina smiled back. "I told you that when I'm with you I never feel afraid."

"Then keep your eyes on me, and I'll keep my eyes on you and neither of us will be afraid." Fred grinned. "Together, we won't be afraid of anything, right?"

Fina giggled and nodded. "Right."

"There you two are!" San-Li and Sam waved to them and ran over. "We've been looking all over for you guys. Joleena's furious."

"Sorry." Fred said. "We just needed some fresh air."

"Well hurry up and come back. Your wedding starts in two hours!"

Fina smiled up at Fred and dried her tears. "We'll be there."

The music swelled to a resounding note and the wedding march began. Two large men Joleena hired to give her away help to seat her on a white Arabian horse, lowered her veil, and started to lead her down the aisle. Fina's heart pounded in her chest and she started trembling when she saw just how many people were in the church.

But all her fears vanished when she saw Fred standing at the alter waiting for her.

White rose petals fell all around her like snow as the men led her horse down the aisle. When she reached the alter, the men helped her down and she stood next to her soon to be husband. Fina was relieved to find that most of the words the minister spoke were already familiar to her. She let her eyes drift over to Fred and found that he was watching her too. They waited until the minister gave the word and they turned to face each other. Fred slipped on a gold wedding ring and she slipped one on his finger as well.

"Do you, Fina take Fred to be your lawfully wedded husband until death do you part?"

"I do." Fina said with tears glittering in her eyes.

"And do you Fred, take Fina, to be your lawfully wedded husband until death do you part?"

Fred felt tears sting his eyes and he grinned. "I do."

"Then by the power invested in me, I now declare you husband and wife. You may now-"

Before the minister could even finish the words Fred and Fina met each other in a deep and passionate kiss.

The light reached the bed and and woke Fred with its soft light. He rolled over and came face to face with his beautiful, newly wedded wife. Fina was still asleep, probably exhausted from last night. There was a small smile on her face as she slept and her light golden hair fell over the side of her face, brushing against her cheek.

Fred smiled. She looked so sweet and innocent but the stinging scratches on his back said otherwise. He had expected things to be slow and gentle, but in the heat of the moment things got intense fast. By the end of the night Fred had been just has sore and tired as she was.

He gently brushed her hair off of her cheek and she sighed softly. He let his fingers drift across her cheek and to her mouth. There was a small bruise right at the corner of her lower lip. A slightly smug smile flitted across his face. Yep. He definitely made sure that last night would be a night she never forgot.

Fred got out of bed, careful not to wake Fina, and went to the window to look out. The window looked out unto the bay and beyond that stretched the Pacific Ocean. They were in their premium ocean view room on the beautiful island of Kauai, Hawaii for their honey moon.

With everything they went through preparing for the wedding, they deserved a nice long vacation for just the two of them. He was just thinking about ordering room service when a pair of arms wrapped around him from behind.

"You're up early." He said laying his arms on top of hers. "I figured you'd be exhausted after last night."

"I could say the same for you." Fina giggled. "Oh, I scratched you pretty badly huh? I hope they don't hurt too much."

"Nah, hardly feel them at all."

He gave a shuddering sigh though when he felt Fina place little kisses across his back, gently licking the scratches as she went.

"It sure sounds like you feel them." Fina whispered, her breath fanning across his back.

"You're going to be the death of me, you know that?" He chuckled, turning his head to look at her. "Now, get up here and look at this view with me."

Fina giggled and he pulled her in front of him so he could wrap his arms around her and lean his face into her hair.

"This island is so beautiful." She sighed happily. "I've only been your wife for a day, but I haven't been this happy in thousands of years."

Fred smiled and kissed her hair. "And I hope to make you even happier every single day for the rest of our lives."
