More Bells of Joy
Disclaimer: I do not own FMAB
Alright, so this is a relatively short chapter, and I apologize for that. I've had a very busy week and next week will be even busier, so I've started working on the next chapter already. Also, an update on the possible 3 chapters I was gonna post on the 30th, that had changed to just being one chapter, with the 6th being when I post 2 chapters, because I won't be here the weekend of the 13th as I will be out of state.
Alright, now that that's done, on with the story!
The following Friday, June 29th
It was Al's turn to feel the heat as the doors swung open.
"Brother, was it like this when you got married?" Al asked quietly.
"What, sweating and feeling like your legs were about to give out at any given moment and that your stomach was in knots? Yup." Ed whispered back.
"Ok, glad to know I'm not alone." Al chuckled as May walked down the aisle. Ling walked May down the aisle and soon enough he handed her off to Al.
"Be seated." The priest said kindly while everyone but the designated group up front took their seats.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to witness the union of these two souls in holy matrimony…" the priest started and continued. Ed zoned out while Al paid full attention to every word the priest said.
"Do you Alphonse take May to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" the priest asked Al.
"I do." Al said, smiling to May as he slid the ring on her finger. May liked silver and gold, so Al incorporated both metals into the rings he made using the Xerxesian gold and Central silver.
"And do you May take Alphonse to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" the priest asked looking to May with a smile.
"I do." May said as she slid the ring onto Al's finger.
"Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride." The priest said. Al smiled, leaned in and kissed May, earning cheers from everyone there before they all headed to the reception and waited for the newlyweds to perform their first dance. As Al and May danced, the others waited and watched until they felt that the newlyweds had finished and soon joined in the festivities and before anyone knew May was tossing the bouquet of flowers and getting ready to leave with Al so they could go to their honeymoon. As last time, May and Al had to take with them the presents from Roy and Riza, and Ed had made sure not to tell his brother a thing about what he got.
"A hint?" Al whined.
"Not even that much oh younger brother of mine. You'll see." Ed chuckled.
"You're an asshole at times." Al chuckled.
"Yeah, but I'm your older brother." Ed replied as Al and May started walking to his car.
"See you in a week." Al said as he got in the car and drove off.
"Bye! Have a wonderful trip!" everyone shouted back.
"You know your brother is right." Winry giggled as they walked to his car.
"I know, but you already said 'I do'." Ed chuckled.
"And I don't regret it." Winry said smiling before going around to her side of the car and hopping in. Once Ed started the car they drove home, smiling at the festivities of the day and looking forward to a bright and happy life together.
"You know, I really hope that things will for once go well." Winry sighed as she looked out the window to the setting sun.
"You and me both." Ed replied with a smile.
So, again, sorry for the shortness of this chapter. Hope you liked it anyway, and I hope to have a longer chapter next Saturday, so until then, please, R&R!
