A/N- Hey guys! Sorry, another long update, I know. It's the usual excuse of me being busy. I would warn you about how I am going to be getting pretty busy soon, but this is the last real chapter. There will be an epilogue or two after this one, but I am not sure about a sequel. I don't want to make any promises because I say I'll write one, but then I'll never get around to it. Onto the wedding!

Milkshakelvr- It's just going to get sweeter…

Melody87- Yes it is sad this story is coming to an end, but at least it won't be a sad ending.

AfGhAnCuTiE- If anything I was going to write a fight earlier and there was a small episode. If you want a fight then you should either read or reread P&P because there are some pretty good fights in the memories between Serena and Beryl in there. I just wanted a sweet and simple proposal for the last chapter. Plus, by now it was quite clear that Darien and Serena were in love and no one was going to get between them. If you want you can imagine Rei and Lita around them holding off the other girls…

cosmoscrystal96- Hm… babies? Well that's the next chapter, but there will def. be some babies.

Butterfle- Yes the wedding is this chapter so you get to celebrate again.

Silver Moon Goddess1- Glad you liked it and are looking forward to this chapter!

vegetasprincess1- Thanks for the review, I'm happy you liked it!

kenshinroks2111- I finally figured out what kawaii means (my friends at school told me too)! Well I'm thinking about having two epilogues so you can be happy getting one more chapter than originally planned. It will either be two epilogues or one really big one.

Elen-Di- Yup, now its time for the happy endings!

Lady Tristana Rogue- There's nothing too interesting like twists coming up. Just simple weddings and coronations and life. It's still cute though!

Dertupio- Well now that you're all caught up now… there aren't really anymore big surprises. This is the end and now just a couple simple epilogues. If I do start a sequel (that's a big if) then there will be surprises, but this story is pretty much done.

Rei had immediately decided she was in charge of planning the wedding for her brother and Serena. Selene though stepped in more than once. Of course Rei tried to argue, but Selene would easily quiet her with a stern look. Mina, Amy, and Lita were left to hear about how horrible and strict Serena's mother was. Overall Rei was given a lot of freedom since all Serena had told her was that she wanted a white dress and that she wanted her wedding in the forest. Rei didn't question her, but instantly called some for the seamstress to start working on designs for Serena's dress. Serena's dress was a long, sheer off-white dress that clung to Serena's body till her waist. At the waist it flared out, but just enough to fall flat to the ground. She was wearing white sandals and was going to put white beads and diamonds into her hair. A silver thread was going to hold the buns together and then fall back down with her hair.

The day of the wedding dawned with heavy fog, but the fog burned off and it was nothing but sun for the day. Serena sat at her window in a robe admiring the day when Molly came in with the dress. Serena quickly slipped into the slip before sitting down into a chair so Molly could work on her hair. Molly was twisting Serena's hair into the two buns that had become the family's trademark style. Serena played with the strand of pearls that hung delicately around her neck. She remembered the conversation that she had with her mother that morning.

Flashback

"Molly, will you excuse us for a minute?" Selene asked as she stepped into her daughter's room. Molly bowed her head and swiftly walked out of the room. Selene waited till Molly's footsteps were gone before she continued. "I never thought I'd see you married. You were always so independent. When most girls would start thinking about being courted and what the boys thought of them, you were out playing with the boys."

"Mamma…"

"Serena, please listen." Serena sat back down and let her mother continue. "Yet here you are, getting married. You aren't marrying one of the boys you grew up with. No, you're marrying a human man. Something people thought was never going to be possible after all of the wars and persecutions. I do not know if you know it or not, but your marriage is bringing the beings we know new hope. Charles is even thinking about staying here and working with the other generals. The elves are talking of new trade agreements as well. Your marriage is the beginning of a new era, a new era of peace hopefully. You and your soon to be husband will have to work for complete peace, but it is not a dream anymore." Selene gingerly wiped away her tears and smiled down at her daughter. "My mother gave me something on my wedding day and now I'm giving it to you." Selene held out a baby blue satin bag which Serena took. Serena opened the top and a strand of white pearls slid onto Serena's hand.

"Mom! They're pearls! I didn't think you could find pearls anymore." Serena gasped.

"They were becoming rare when I got them, but my mother found them in time for my wedding to your father." Selene took the strand and clipped them around her back.

"Thank you." Serena whispered as she touched the pearls.

"Your welcome. Now where is Molly? We need you in your dress otherwise you're going to be late to your own wedding!" Selene walked to the door and called for Molly who was the down the hall talking to Tristan.

End Flashback.

"I can't believe that your mother has had pearls! It's been so long since I've seen some." Molly smiled. She finished Serena's hair and went to grab the dress. The dress quickly slipped over Serena's head and fell effortlessly to the ground. After smoothing out a few miniscule and invisible wrinkles Molly stood Serena up. "Now, I believe we have a wedding to get you to."

Serena and Molly traveled into the forest in a carriage that had white, silver, and gold ribbons decorating it. The doors had Darien's family symbol on it. The horses were all washed and combed so their coats gleamed in the sun and the driver's had their formal wear washed and dried. They carriage rolled to a stop in front of a trail where elves were waiting amongst the trees. The footman helped Molly first before everything went quiet and Serena slowly made her way out. Somewhere in the forest a flute started to play as Serena made her way down the trail. She smiled at the faces she recognized from her home and Darien's castle. When Serena reached the clearing that she had picked out earlier with Darien, her mother, and the other girls, she found Darien waiting with one of the elder council members. Guests were standing all around the field, all trying to get the best view for the wedding. Serena walked up to the altar and stood next to Darien and in front of the altar. Molly came to stand between Tristan and Selene as she watched the procession. Darien himself was in his best armor that seemed to have been shinned right before he put it on. There were soft engravings on it of vines, trees, and other plant life found in the kingdom. A silver crown sat proudly on his head. It was a thick band of silver, but small emeralds twisted a vine around it.

The minister started his speech about love, matrimony, harmony, and peace. Serena stopped listening at the first note of his voice and the first look that she saw from Darien's eyes. His dark blues engulfed her and Serena couldn't help but smile. Her mind was brought back to reality when the council member coughed. It seemed that Darien was under the same spell as Serena and had forgotten to pay attention as well. "Darien Terran, my King, do you take Serena Phoenix, lade of the supernatural, as your wife?"

"I do."

"Serena Phoenix, Lady of the supernatural, do you take Darien Terran, King of Kemen, as your husband?"

"I do."

"With the power invested in me by this council and our king, I now name you husband and wife." The minister finished. "You may now kiss the bride." Darien leaned forward and captured Serena's lips with his own as the crowd cheered. Serena wrapped her arms around Darien's neck so the kiss would not be brought to an end as soon as the elder thought it would be. He coughed again; signaling the time to end the kiss had come. "I do not believe that you were meant to consummate your marriage in front of everyone, my lord." The man said.

"I know." Darien said; his voice deep and husky.

"We have one more order of business to take care of today." The elder announced. Serena's head shot from where she was watching the man who had performed the ceremony to Darien with big confused eyes. "My lady, your coronation is to take place now." Darien turned Serena around so her back was to the audience and he was standing upon the altar.

"As everyone as witnessed today I have finally chosen a bride. Though she is almost royalty from where she comes from she has yet to be given the proper title. I am sorry if this speech is short and to the point, but you must forgive for it is my wedding day. Serena, please kneel." Darien's voice softened at the last part and Serena did as he asked. She saw Rei walk up next to Darien holding a pillow with a silver crown. It was smaller, more feminine, and more intricate than the one that resided upon Darien's head. Not only did hers have the emerald vine, but it had small diamond and ruby flowers as well. "By the power given to be from the people of these lands, Serena Phoenix-Terran, I give you this crown, signifying your role as my wife and my queen." Darien said. He placed the crown on Serena's head and took her hands. He stood her back up and brought her to stand next to him upon the altar.

"I present to you, the people the Kemen, your King and Queen!" The council member announced. Again the cloud erupted in applause. Serena blushed as she looked upon all the people who had come to the wedding and coronation.

That night the ball room and banquet hall were filled with people. Various lords and ladies from the different countries had come to see the marriage of King Darien, who all had thought would remain single. He was of course, one of the rare men to stay single until he had found love, and not marry for a political arrangement. Serena had kept the same dress on, but Darien had changed into more comfortable robes that were dark blues and purples. As all of the guests sat in the banquet room the room was hushed silent as the lord of elves, Michael, walked up to the table where Serena and Darien sat. "King Darien, I would like to first offer my congratulations on your marriage. Serena is one of the finest women that I have ever known. You have chosen wisely in who to give your love to and I know she returns it."

"Thank you Lord Michael."

"Your highness, I would like to set up a time in which we can start a trading arrangement between our people."

"The elves wish to trade with men again?" Darien asked, disbelief hushed his voice.

"Aye, you killed the man who was responsible for the persecutions. We saw that you are indeed kind and have peace between these great countries in mind. Plus with Serena here we know that she will not let anything happen that is unjust.'

"We shall set up that meeting as soon as we can. I'm sorry, but it might not be for a few days. I would like to spend a few days with my bride before I return to my work."

"That is perfectly understandable. I would be worried if you wanted to start immediately. I shall be here along with a group of elves until a treaty has been reached." Michael bowed his head and walked back to a group of elves on the other side of the room.

"The elves…"

"Darien, you should have known that this was going to be a time of change." Serena whispered. She had a bright smile on her face and her blue eyes were soft once more with happiness.

"I know. There is going to be many more changes as well." Darien whispered. He brought up Serena's hand and kissed it. "Are you full my dear?"

"Quite."

"Then I believe we are done here." Darien said. He stood up and led Serena out a side door when everyone was once again being entertained by the musicians that had been hired. They escaped through the secret tunnels to their room with only a few knowing eyes catching their great escape.
