I have typed up the entire story.

I'm updating quickly, remember to review all the chapters!

Okay, here's the next one. Hang in there, Leon…

All the guests arrived at the dinner party after the ceremony just after Cloud and Aerith.

They all sat at separate tables in the large room, a stage set in the centre for entertainment. A famous singer, Amaya, had been asked to perform later on, and many people were very excited.

Sitting side by side on their special reserved table, Cloud and Aerith exchanged whispered as they ate. Cid, Yuffie and Leon sat among them.

Leon picked at his food with his fork. He couldn't help but feel a little sad, even though he was happy for his two friends. He didn't say a word for a long time.

Suddenly, Yuffie tapped her glass with a spoon and stood up. The chatter immediately seized and everyone looked over at her. Yuffie grinned.

"Hi everyone!" she said cheerfully. "It's so great that you're all here, on Cloud and Aerith's wedding day!" She smiled at her two friends. "Okay, I'm the Maid of Honour, to everyone's surprise, so I'm expected to make some kind of speech about them." She laughed. "Well, where do I start? It's as if you two were meant to be together from the very beginning. Aerith always had the ability to make Cloud smile, even when no one else could, EVER, and Cloud would always be able to make Aerith laugh and always make her so happy." The couple exchanged a smile. "In the past year, your relationship warped itself into Days of Our Lives, and scary things happened. But you still pulled through. Somehow." Yuffie smiled, raising her glass of apple juice. (A.N. She's such a good little girl. XD) "I'll always wish you the best of luck for the future. Please raise your glasses…" The guests obeyed. "To the bride and groom." Yuffie flashed a wink and downed her juice. She sat back down.

Leon felt like he should say something too. He couldn't just say nothing at all. He wanted them to know he really was happy for them as well. He slowly stood up and cleared his throat loudly.

"I want to say something too," he said, looking at the guests. "I am the Best Man, after all." Cloud, Aerith, Yuffie and Cid all exchanged worried glances at each other.

"Leon," Cid said quietly. "You don't have to…"

"Leon…" Aerith whispered, shaking her head. She felt so guilty as she watched him. This was too painful.

Leon just smiled and shook his head, looking away. Aerith was about to stand up to object, but Cloud stopped her. He held her hand tightly to comfort her as they watched. Leon sighed.

"Cloud and Aerith," he said. "Together at last." He forced himself to look back down at them. "I still remember when I first met you both. I had to babysit you." Scattered laughter passed through the room. Leon chuckled softly. "Cloud was a baby, and Aerith was still a rugrat. Who knew you'd eventually fall in love and be so perfect for each other?"

Cloud and Aerith watched tensely. Leon just smiled.

"You've both been to hell and back over the last year, but then again it's brought you closer together. In my entire life, I have never seen two people so in love…" Aerith managed a teary smile.

"You're both so unique, that nothing was able to come between you. Not even fate itself."

Cid rubbed his forehead and looked away, unable to see him like that anymore. Yuffie continued to watch Leon sadly as he emitted a tired sigh.

"You were meant to be together from the very start, because you bring each other true happiness." He raised his glass. "To my two best friends. To the bride and groom." He watched everyone drink from their glasses, before downing his own.

After everyone had finished eating, the lights dimmed. Amaya stepped onto the stage, holding her microphone. Cloud walked Aerith onto the dance floor.

"This is the First Dance," Amaya said softly into the microphone. "This song was chosen by both the bride and groom, and they said it explains everything they felt the moment they saw each other, after being separated for so long." She closed her eyes as a piano melody began to play. Cloud placed his hand behind Aerith's back and pulled her closer to him. He held her hand as Aerith rested her other arm on his shoulder. Amaya sang softly as the newlyweds danced.

# Soft heavenly eyes gazed into me
Transcending space and time
And I was rendered still
There were no words for me to find at all
As I stood there beside myself
I could see you and no-one else…#

Aerith smiled.

"This really is the perfect song," she whispered. Cloud nodded.

"The words are my exact thoughts when I saw you that day," he said softly. "Standing in the library" Aerith laughed.

"When you saw me." Cloud smiled and nodded again.

"When I saw you."

# When I saw you
When I saw you
I could not breathe
I fell so deep
When I saw you
When I saw you
I'd never be
I'd never be the same…

Only once in a lifetime love rushes in
Changing you with the tide
And dawn's ribbon of light
Bursts through the dark
Wakening you inside
And I thought it was all untrue
Until there, all at once, I knew…#

"Is this everything you thought it would be?" Cloud asked after a moment. Aerith sighed sadly.

"I just wish Tifa and Rinoa could be here," she muttered. "You know, the whole team." Cloud kissed her temple, pressing his cheek to her forehead.

"They would be happy for us," he said. "Just like everyone else." Aerith smiled wryly.

"Even Leon?" Cloud cupped her face gently.

"He's hanging in there," he whispered. "But he'll be fine. He wants you to be happy, remember? If he sees you're sad because of him, it'll only make him feel like his whole existence is a burden to you." Aerith sighed. She wrapped her arms around Cloud's neck.

# When I saw you
When I saw you
I could not breathe
I fell so deep
When I saw you
When I saw you
I'd never be
I'd never be the same…#

She still had to smile as she listened to the song.

"I'm happy," she said. "I'll be happy with you."

# With no beginning
And without an end
You are the one for me
And it's evident
And your eyes told me so
Your eyes let me know…

When I saw you
When I saw you
I could not breathe
I fell so deep
When I saw you
When I saw you
I'd never be
I'd never be the same…#

No, Leon doesn't mean them any harm, if anyone's think that. Scenes from My Best Friend's Wedding. :) I think that was some much deserved Clerith for you.

When I Saw You always seemed as the perfect song for the scene. Slow and romantic, no crescendos so it can stay that way. Go listen to it, Mariah Carey is amazing in this song.

Next, another filler chapter, the crowd demands the bride and groom sing a song to one another. :) After that, the dramatic finale.
