Chapter Seven
A few months had passed and the wedding was in a few days. Sasuke and Sakura were both very nervous but they stuck through it. They knew that they were meant to be together. Sakura was very nervous and decided to go to Sasuke about it. She walked up to him and said, "Sasuke-kun, I'm so nervous…I don't know what to do…" Sasuke looked at her and hugged her tight. "The question is…are you sure you're ready to marry me?" Sakura looked at him in shock and said, "YES! I've never been surer in my life. I know I'll love you forever and ever." Sakura smiled and kissed Sasuke deeply. He kissed her back. "Good, and I shall love you forever and ever…till death do us part." She giggled and smiled. "I just can't believe it, 3 days until we are legally wed. It's a little scary but I know I'm making the right choice." Sasuke smiled and kissed her forehead. "Me too." Alas, the day of the wedding had finally come. Sakura was in dressing room of the church getting ready when Hinata came in. Sakura screamed and turned around. She was relieved when she only saw Hinata, who looked pretty frightened by her scream. Sakura said, "Sorry sis, I was worried that it was Sasuke-kun. I don't want him to see me before the wedding. You know? The superstition. I really don't want it to come true so I'm taking all precautions." Hinata laughed and looked at Sakura. "Alright, I'll keep him out for you." Sakura smiled and hugged Hinata. "Thank you sis!" Hinata giggled and slipped out of Sakura's grip. "Oh yea, by the way Sakura, Naruto-kun can't come to the wedding." Sakura stood in shock and disappointment. "Why not..." Hinata sighed and replied, "He had to go on a mission with Jaraiya-sama, he was forced to. I don't think he even knows about the wedding." Sakura sat down and looked at the ground. "I was really hoping that he could come. We aren't very close but he is soon to be my brother in law." Sakura sighed and Hinata rubbed her back. "Don't let this get you down sis. It's your wedding day; it's time for you to be happy!" Sakura smiled and hugged Hinata again. "Thank you so much." Sakura looked at herself in the mirror and tried zipping up the zipper in the back. Hinata laughed at her and helped her. "You look beautiful sis." Sakura smiled and her eyes filled with tears. "I can't believe I'm getting married. I hope this doesn't change anything between us…" Hinata looked at Sakura and said, "It won't! No one is as close as us!" Hinata wiped the tears off. "You don't want tears on your wedding dress, do you?" Sakura giggled and said, "Of course not." Hinata looked at her watch and her eyes opened wide. "It's almost time for the wedding!" Hinata pushed Sakura to the room where they entered. First, Hinata and Kiba walked in, and then it was Shikamaru and Ino, and then Tenten and Neji. Last was the flower girl, Moegi. Finally, Sakura came out and Sasuke looked at her in shock. "She's so…beautiful…" he thought. Sasuke couldn't take his eyes off her. Sakura was looking at him the whole entire time while walking down the aisle. Sakura had butterflies in her stomach and was about to break out in tears. She was trying her hardest to hold it in. She finally made it to the end of the aisle and Sasuke lifted up her veil and whispered, "You're so beautiful…" Sakura whispered back, "Thanks." They both faced the minister as he started to talk. They were both not really listening because they were thinking about what's going to come later on in their lives. They started to pay attention when the minister said, "Do you, Sasuke Uchiha, take Sakura Haruno as your beloved wife?" Sasuke smiled and faced Sakura. "I do." The minister looked at Sakura and continued, "Do you, Sakura Haruno, take Sasuke Uchiha as your beloved husband?" Sakura looked at Sasuke and softly said, "I do." The minister smiled and said, "I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Sasuke held Sakura close and kissed her deeper than he ever has. He stopped kissing her but wouldn't let go. He stared deep into her eyes and she stared back. She grabbed his hands and walked back down the aisle. She thought, "I'm finally married to the man I love…and I will always love him." Hinata ran after them and hugged Sakura from the back. Sakura turned around and found her face full of tears. "Congratulations sis. I couldn't be happier for you. It's too bad that Naruto couldn't come. He would have loved to see you get married." Sakura smiled and said, "Its ok. We weren't that close after all." She hugged Hinata and turned back around and walked out of the church with Sasuke.
