Chapter 10

Invitations for the wedding went out the day after you got your dress. It was a bit fast, but you really didn't mind too much. The only objection that you had was that no one allowed you to see Nikolai while the wedding was getting prepared. Roderich was preparing the music, his piano and violin ready for use, the Italian brothers were preparing the food of all the greatest food they could make, and Elizaveta, who was also your maid of honor, was doing all the decorating. All that you had to do was wait until the day of the wedding.

Before you had anticipated the date was there. Everyone was rushing around trying to make last minute details perfect. You sat in the bride's room, nervously waiting for the moment when you were to go down the aisle. Eliza was pulling you (hair color) hair into a beautiful hairstyle, making it exenterate your features.

"Something old…" She muttered to herself as she placed an old gold bracelet of yours on your wrist delicately.

"Something borrowed…" She muttered as she pinned a pink sakura pin that she had borrowed from Kiku onto the waist of your dress.

"Something new…" Eliza placed you bright white high heels at you feet, and you slipped them on easily.

"And something blue." She finished, tying a blue sash into your hair, which accented your (eye color) eyes.

"Your all ready (name)." Eliza said brightly. You smiled nervously back at her.

"Are you ready sweetheart?" Your confidence grew a bit more at her concerned tone.

"Yes. Yes I am ready." Eliza placed your veil over your face. You could see out, but no one could see your features.

"Don't let Nikolai lift your veil until it's time to kiss, okay?" You frowned at her request, but complied anyway.

"It's time! If we don't hurry we'll miss your que!" Eliza grabbed your arm and hauled you up not to gently.

The two of you arrived outside the hallway Eliza took her bouquet and handed you yours. You looked around for Germany, as he was the one that was supposed to be giving you away. You saw him exactly where he was supposed to be, looking about as nervous as you were. Gently he took your arm as the doors began to open. For such a strong man you couldn't help but notice how gentle he could be.

Everyone stood as you began to walk down the aisle. Kiku bowed when you passed him, and Feliciano looked about ready to cry. Nikolai looked scared, but he also seemed happy to finally be getting married. When you and Germany finally reached Nikolai, Germany took your hand and placed it in Nikolai's, all while giving Nikolai a glare that said 'don't screw this up'. Nikolai didn't even see him though, as his eyes were focused totally on you. You smiled lovingly at him, even though he couldn't see your face.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony…" The priest began. You stopped listening, waiting until he said the part about the 'I do's'.

"Now do you (name) take Nikolai to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do." You said confidently.

"And do you Nikolai take (name) to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do." Nikolai's voice radiated with strength.

"Then unless we have any objections I now pro-"

"Wait! I object!" The entire audience gasped in shock as the voice rang through the quiet church.
