Chapter 17
Rose took me to her room to get me ready. We had Alice help. I left my hair down and had no veil with a silver tiara. Rose said she had to go get the white gloves and left the room.
"I really am sorry I have to do this Alice," I said putting my head in my hands.
"Hey, I already said it was alright. The kingdom comes first and that's fine. Now get your face out of your hands before you ruin your makeup!"
I laughed and gave her hug. The queen walked back in with the bouquet and gloves. I slipped them on and held the bouquet. Rose said it was time. I took in a breath of air and the doors to the chapel opened. I walked down the isle to the music. Every step felt like years. When I finally reached the alter I felt like I was going to cry. I was going to do it. I was really about to marry another man.
"Do you Dark take Zelda do your wife?"
"I do."
"Zelda do you take Dark to be your husband?"
"I do."
"Now I shall ask if there are any objections to this marriage of happiness and matrimony."
Pft, happiness? As if. I thought.
Suddenly the doors of the chapel bursted open.
"I object!"
I turned around and my eyes widened. It was him it was really, really him!
"Link!!" I shouted as tears ran down my face. I looked to Dark Link.
"Go to him!" he said smiling. He grabbed my shoulders and pushed me forward.
"Thank you!" I yelled as I threw the bouquet to Alice.
I picked up the ends of my dress and ran as fast as I could to Link. He held his arms open and I jumped in them. I clung onto him as if the world was ending. I sobbed onto his shoulder. He held onto me tight and lifted me so that my feet weren't touching the ground. I never realized how much I missed his warmth and strength.
"I thought you were dead!"
"No, with many thanks to you."
I pulled away and looked at him shocked.
"Link! Your alive!" Rose said running up to us. "What in Hyrule happened?"
All the people in the chapel were listening with curious ears.
"When I stayed so Zelda and the rest could get away Zelda used a healing magic that saved my life. I played dead until the goblins left then using the rest of my energy, which Zelda gave me, I went back to Ordon. There I was treated back to full health. It took many months, but fearing Zelda thought I was dead Impa came back to Ordon to see how David was doing when she saw me coming down from the room in full health. She told me Zelda was getting married and I came as fast as I could to get her back."
"Oh Link!" I said hugging him tight again.
Just then Impa walked out from behind him. She was laughing.
"He made it in time I see."
We smiled.
"But, Link, why didn't you send news that you were alive and recovering?"
"Mail can take up to a year to deliver from Ordon to Hyrule and I wasn't willing to take that chance. But now that I'm back, Zelda," he said putting me down. He dropped down to one knee, "will you say yes one more time and marry me?"
"You heard me?!"
"Yup!"
I looked to James. Both he and Rosa nodded.
"Yes! Yes I will marry you!"
Link smiled and stood up. He grabbed me around my waist and kissed me with all the passion that had been missing this past year. I looked to the left and saw Dark Link and Alice holding hands. Smiling at us. I laughed when I saw what they were wearing. They both were in all red and black.
Only those two would wear black to a wedding.
I smiled at them both. I walked up to Dark Link and handed him back the ring.
"I'm sorry but it looks like there won't be a wedding here after all. I think we've both found the people who make us whole."
He smiled and nodded taking the ring. I hugged him and whispered good luck, making him blush. I then walked back down the isle to Link. He took my hand and slid on a ring. I looked at it. The stone was shaped like a heart.
"It's beautiful," I said giving him a peck on the lips.
"I'm glad," he said as he took my hand.
We walked out of the chapel. I could hear people cheering for us as we walked away. I saw Epona. Link lifted me up and put me on her and we rode to the castle together this time. The smile never left my face as I clung to him.
