-about a year n half down the road-

So it's been a year, it's mid December. A week n half before Christmas. Very few members of the guild are going out on jobs. But everyone is busy. Mira, Freed, & Liz has planned for a Christmas wedding. The ceremony will take place out in the court yard to the guild, under the stars. And the reception held in the guild hall. Colors are white, red, & gold. Christmas lights will be strung around all over, mostly white, but some red roses, white, red, & gold tulle, & snow. Everyone is buzzing with joy.

Today is the final dress fitting, Letty, Mira, Liz, Evergreen, Starla, Ro, Carla, Wendy, Lucy, Levy, & Erza are in one of the upstairs rooms the designer. Letty slips the dress on the designer zipping it. It fits perfectly. The designer put the red silk sash around Letty's waist, it's garnished with diamond rhinestones laid in a pattern. The dress is floor length, crested with crystals all over. The designer then clips on the detachable train, while your dress is a rich smooth material the train is made of tulle & lace. It's beautiful, it runs about 3 foot behind you. Mira pins your hair up some & the designer places the vail on Letty's head hanging the piece over her face & laying the piece in the back smoothly out.

Finally the seriousness of the situation fades & everyone is standing around mouths a gap, hands on mouths, murmurs, & Liz in tears. Finally Erza breaks the silence saying "you look amazing Letty. Literally amazing." Liz "oh baby, it's better then I'd ever dreamed for you! You're beautiful!" The others give the same complaints. Finally let turns to look in the mirror & instantly starts crying... "Oh my gods, thank you so much. It's more than perfect!" The designer hands Letty a tissue smiling proudly & says "I feel honored to have made you this dress. You are welcome my dear." Once out of the wedding dress it's time for the girls to have their fitting. Mira picked out red silky dresses for each of the bridesmaids & a silky gold with red sash for your maid of honor. Evergreen is the maid of honor, & all the other girls expect Mira & Liz are bridesmaids, even the cats. Everyone looks prefect! The designer makes a few tweets on a couple dresses & everyone changes back. Now she has to go tend to men in another room.

So the men with Laxus... Freed, Bisklow, Natsu, Jellal, Gray, Romeo, Gajeel, & Happy. If you're wondering who is paired with who...

Freed - Evergreen

Bisklow - Ro

Natsu - Lucy

Jellal - Erza

Lily - Starla

Romeo - Wendy

Gajeel - Levy

Happy - Carla

They are in no particular order either. Anyways, back to fitting. Laxus puts a black suit on with a white button up & red silk vest. A red hanky for the pocket & ruby red cuff links. The dosing er makes a few tweets & has him take it off. Freed is in a white suit with red shirt & black vest, black hanky, & black cuff links. The other guys are in red suits with white shirts & black vests, black hanky, & black cuff links. After a few more tweets everyone changes.

Mira talks to the designer before she heads out & makes final plans. She's also called to reconfirmed every order they have for food, lighting, flowers, fabrics, drinks, etc. Everything is set to start arriving the day before.

Okay so it's the night before the wedding, the rehearsal dinner is tonight. Letty packs a few items into her backpack, things she will need for tonight. Because it's bad luck for the groom to see his bride before the wedding & it's just tradition to not sleep with each other the night before. Letty is staying at her parents home for tonight.

Mira has her group that she is having stay that night and help start to set up after the dinner party. Once the dinner party is over with Letty sets out to say goodnight to Laxus. She finds him up on the balcony cleaning up garbage... "Goodbye Miss Palmer, sleep well." "You are a dork Mr. Dreyar!" "I know. I love you darling. I'll see you at the other end of the aisle." "I'll be there. I love you too." He pulls Letty into a hug kissing her softly. She reaches up wrapping her arms around him tangling her fingers in his hair. They start to feel snow flakes & break away from the kiss looking up. Letty giggles as a snowflake falls on her nose. They look at one and other smiling, kissing one last time before separating. Letty walks downstairs finding her parents with Mira & Mira says "you ready to go?" Letty nods & Mira says "make sure you get a good nights rest, I don't wanna see dark circles tomorrow." Letty chuckles "I know I know boss-woman-man." & salutes her. Mira giggles shaking Letty off. After finding Starla with Gajeel, Levy, & Lily they say goodnight & venture home with her parents for the night. Walking home as the snow falls Letty thinks 'this will be the first night since we met that we won't be sleeping together.. Huh.. Weird.' Letty is exhausted & heads straight to bed.

The next morning Liz is knocking lightly in the bedroom door saying "Letty dear, wake up, don't want to be late to your own wedding!" Letty slowly opens her eyes, stretching out in bed & sighs. Realizing it's her wedding day she jumps up to go shower. Getting out she quickly towel dries, brushing her hair out & putting it in a top knot bun. She pulls on the sweats that she brought to wear, nothing special because is gonna be a log day & she wants to be as comfy as possible till time to get the dress on. Once she ready, she bags everything back up, slings her bag over er shoulder & heads downstairs. The maid & her mother have breakfast ready, her favorite foods! Biscuits, sausage gravy, eggs, bacon, & pancakes. Letty sits down to the table with drool running out of her mouth as she thanks them. Her mother & father join her at the table, & she starts scarfing food down. Liz says a little loud "honey, slow down. Don't want to over eat & feel bloated. Your might not fit." The shock registering Letty shows down & Liz nods pleased.

While cleaning up after breakfast Kellin howlers for Letty from the study, she skips her way in & Kellin smiles brightly at his daughter & says "although you never met her, I know my mouth would have been just as proud as we are of you. & id like to give you something that was hers, you can count it as your something old & blue." He opens a black velvet box & inside sparkling beautifully is a gold chain & a bright dazzling blue sapphire surrounded by diamonds. Letty gasps covering her mouth saying "it's beautiful." "This was my mothers, giving to her by her mother on her wedding day. & now it's yours. I hope you pass it down to your daughter on her wedding day." "Oh I will daddy! Help me put it on?" He nods taking it carefully out of the box & clipping it around her neck. She touches the stone as it lays against her skin, falling just between her collar bones. A tear slips falling & Kellin wipes it away saying "don't cry baby." "I'm just so happy. I have the best parents. I've met the most amazing friends I can call my family. & I'm marrying someone who means more to me then I ever thought someone would." "That's what happens when your blessed." Letty hugs her father tightly as there is a knocked at the door.

Letty smells them before she sees them, Liz shows them into the study & Letty says warmly "Morning guys!?" Gajeel "gihihi mornig shorty, ready for today?" Letty nods excitedly. Levy covers her mouth giggling & Lily asks "where's Starla?" "Oh she's packing her bag up up stairs. You can go find her. Top the stairs take a right 3 door on your right." He nods a flies off. Letty says "those two are too cute. They remind me of you too." Levy blushes a crimson red & Gajeel "tch."

When Starla & Lily make their way make down Levy says "okay so Laxus is already there, Gajeel will go in first making sure he is up in his dressing room & out of sight. Then when giving the okay, we will walk in." Letty just nods ready to get to the guild. She's jumping & skipping around as they walk there, earning smiles & laughs from her friends. The snow has falling perfectly, still flaking some. Letty has hopes it keeps this up into the night, it would be beautiful with the ceremony.

Gajeel walks in & yells "oi, bastard get to your room!" Letty & Levy giggle as they stand outside. Finally he reemerges from the guild & says "coast is clear." Letty bounces on in saying hi to everyone. Mira comes from behind the bar & says "good morning. Everything is going as planned. Everyone has been working very hard." "It looks amazing Mira! You & Freed, everyone out did yourself." She beams brightly smiling, "now get upstairs, a team is waiting for you & your bridesmaids. Gajeel & Lily you go with Laxus. The Ceremony will start around 6pm." Letty hugs Mira saying "let me know when my parents arrive. I have trust you guys that tonight will be perfect!" Letty, Levy, & Starla walk off going upstairs to their room where the girls already are. Lucy gushes "you should've seen Laxus, he's all anxious & bubbly. It's so cute!"

Around noon the team of stylist starts working on you and another girl. Two at time to be done in time. Everyone has changed into robes & slippers. Letty thinks saying "uhh it feels nice to be pampered like this." All the girls chime in agreeing. It's around 4pm & the designer is helping you into your dress. Wendy is using her healing powers to calm your nerves, she is then called to do the same for Laxus. When she gets back she is a mess of giggles saying tht the designer has her hands full getting that bunch dressed. Erza asks "should I go over & scold?" Wendy shakes her head no saying "I think Laxus took control once his nerves were better. You two really are the perfect match. Although he wouldn't shut up about seeing you & you haven't said one word?" "That's because I have patients & I have the rest of my life to see & worry about him. Right now, I'm focused on this being pampered." Wendy & all the girls giggle. Cana comes into the room with 3 bottles of white wine & Letty's parents behind & yells "a toast is in order!" Letty yells "you just want an excuse to drink. But I'm not arguing." & laughs loudly taking a glass that her mother was holding. Once everyone's glass has wine Kellin holds his up & says "a toast to the happy couple." Liz "Mr. & Mrs. Dreyar." Evergreen "The King & The Queen." Everyone "the lightning dragon slayers." & everyone clanks glasses taking a sip.

-finally it's time-

Everyone has taken a seat out in the court yard, the bride & groom parties have started lining up... The best man Freed kisses your cheek saying "you look amazing. I'm so glad you came into our lives." Your maid of honor joins him saying "Laxus wouldn't be who he is today without you. & I don't want to picture our lives with you." "Awe guys, your gonna make me cry." Kellin comes up behind Letty & says "don't wanna ruin such a pretty face on such an important day." Letty giggles blinking away the tears. Little Asuka the flower girl starts walking down the aisle tossing white & red rose petals around. Then Freed & Evergreen make their way out, followed by the other pairs. As they follow out they say encouraging words & compliments. Finally it's time for the bride & her father to make their appearance. Letty says "don't let me fall daddy." "Of course not baby." & he kisses her cheek as they step foot out the guild doors making their way down the aisle. The snow is falling lightly, everything is beautiful. Letty's eyes land on Laxus, they stare each other down. Laxus has the stupidest grin plastered in his face, but Letty loves that grin. Finally making their way to him the priest says "who gives this woman up to him?" Kellin "her mother & I do." & he kisses her cheek placing her hand in Laxus before stepping away to take a seat by Liz. Letty takes a glance at them smiling sweetly.

Before Letty even realizes it's time to say "I do." They didn't write any type of vows, they just simply want to pour two colored sands into a glass canister as they says "with this sand I pledge my vow." & then as they slip their rings on "& with this ring I pledge my enteral love." Once that was over with the priest takes a caution step back (advised by Mira) & says "you may kiss the bride." & just as he did their lips crashed & just as Mira thought lightning flowed from them, between them, around them. They glowed bright yellow. The kiss lasted forever. Everyone had goose bumps from the static shock. As they pull away everyone erupts in hoots & whispers, clapping loudly. Laxus picks Letty up bridal style carrying her into the guild & Letty laughs as she's put down & says "your suppose to do that when we go home?" Laxus says "I'll do it then too, but this is home too ya know." She smiles hugging him kissing him again. As they kiss friends & family come through the doors going around them.

Letty hears *snap snap snap* & opens her eyes pulling away from the kiss looking in front of her. A camera man, your parents, some friends all standing around taking pics. Letty laughs saying "stop!" ... throwing her fist in the air yelling "let's party!" Laxus picks Letty up again walking to the dance floor setting her down. You dance one dance & head over to the bar. Mira "would you like a drink Mrs. Dreyar?" "Yes, but first help me take the vail & train off!" She smiles closing her eyes squeaking "of course!" We laugh talking as she does & then she gets me a glass of champagne. I watch Laxus, he's dancing with my mother. I motion for Mira & say "please get a picture of them." She nods & gets a few others & a camera man & they start getting pictures. I smile watching my mom beam brightly slightly giddy.

Letty gets an idea & sets out to look for Gramps, Master Makarov. She soon finds him sitting a top a table & takes off for him. She says "uhh Mast-." He looks at her stern eyed .. "Uh Gramps." He smiles nodding once. "Come dance with me." ... "Uh, please!?" She closes her eyes smiling wide. He chuckles & says "well come on brat." Taking your hand going out on the dance floor to Laxus & mom. Gramps says "er son, I got me an ah looker don't ya think!?" Laxus turns him & mom around, eyes going wide real fast seeing me smiling wide & he starts laugh, "oh yeah she is." Winking at you. The 4 start laughing while you hear more pictures being taken, even a recording was take taped of that moment. & Letty thought, 'it's these moment we live for. The joy.' She finishing the song off with Gramps & he gives her over to Laxus. It's a slow song, so she lays her head on his chest, as he holds her close. He leans over whispering in her ear "you look stunning tonight Mrs. Dreyar." A tear slips as she looks up, he thumbs it away as she leans up softly kissing him. He quickly responds kissing back harder.

Natsu yells "wait till you leave! This is a party!" & takes over DJ'ing the party turning on some fast heart pounding songs. Laxus rolls his eyes & Letty says "he has a point." Pecking him quickly as she pulls away dancing around. Without anywhere in sight, just going where her body leads. She quickly finds Lucy, Erza, Juvia, Lisanna, Evergreen, & some others, Levy being pulled by Lucy though. She takes Levy's hand knowing she just shy & starts dancing, she starts to dance a little. Before soon all of the girls are dancing, and all the guys are standing across the room at the bar watching. Laxus says "well boys I can we did once thing right for sure in our lives... & their right over there." He points his bottle to the woman. Gray says "Juvia may be over bearing & hard to handle. But I know if I can't count on any of you to be there in a time of need, I can count on her." Natsu "yeah I thought I loved Lisanna, don't get me wrong I do. But as a sister. When Lucy came back with me & joined. & I got to know her. Wow. I know what love really is. What I feel when it comes to Lucy. She'll never cry again because of anyone, especially me." Laxus "damn, Natsu. That's deep." Natsu "shit up, don't pick on me." Gajeel "no man, he's not picking. It was deep, but beautiful. I kinda get where your coming from." Laxus, "trust me I do get it, boys this is where it leads you. But you will never be this happy." Master Makarov "I know one other time you will be as happy or happier. Not just the day you find out your expecting. But the day you have your first child! & your second child. & so forth." Everyone pauses thinking & murmur possible agreements & agreements.

Final each man has someone drape themselves over them turning to see their significant other. All asking the same thing, "ya just gonna sit here? Come on let's party." Letty yells "shots!" & the bridal parties & some other close friends all joined in on a series of shots, taking shot doing tricks & stupid shit even started!" After about 4 shots some says "alright it's time for the father daughter dance." Letty jumps off of Laxus' lap walking to the dance floor, she mets her dad at the edge. Kellin holds Letty close as the music starts. He whispers "you look beautiful." Letty pulls back looking at her dad, "& you look just as handsome as ever, cleaned up extra good tonight." They laugh. "You've grown up into an amazing young lady. Laxus is a great young man, & I can see how happy he makes you." He pauses as she finds Laxus with your mom again, she smiles over at them turning back to her dad. "I can't wait for grandkids now." "No rushing that!" She slaps his arm, "alright, alright. I won't."

It was well after 3am when everyone was leaving or to drunk to do anything. Around midnight your parents had left. & now that it was officially Christmas, even though pretty drunk Laxus wanted to get home & each (cats included) open one present. Letty couldn't help think how cute & giddy he seemed, like a child in Christmas morning in fact. So Laxus getting his way (perusal) they set out saying their goodbyes. Mira says "all the wedding gifts I'll have moved to your office Laxus. You can get them tomorrow or whenever." He nods & Letty mouths 'thank you'. Letty gathers up the cats & sets out for the door heading home.
