Hello! First of all I want to thank ALL OF YOU for the reviews. Only 5 so far, but you guys have no idea how delighted I was to see them. Well here is the part I'm sure most have been waiting for-THE WEDDING! ENJOY. For those who read it before, notice that I added a little more until my next chapter.

The day had come; to Claudia it seemed to drag along. She just wanted it to be over as soon as possible and save her and her family the embarrassment. Meanwhile, the Auditore and Pazzi family, along with friends were sitting on opposite sides of the church. Each were exchanging funky glances at one another.

Some were even saying things under their breath about the ones across from them. The words were far from complimentary. Francesco de Pazzi was the first to break the silence. "Well, this is embarrassing! My son marrying an Auditore, like he couldn't do better!" Giovanni darted a look towards him. "So what are you saying? That my daughter is not good enough for your son?" He said, and then he shook his head. "If anything it is the other way around." Suddenly both sides began arguing back and forth. Of course many things that wanted to be said on both sides were restricted due to where they were.

Vieri finally stepped out, but no one heeded any attention as they continued on with their bickering. Enraged, he bellowed to the guests.

"Hey! What's the deal with this? This is MY wedding! Show some damn dignity!"

The priest was shocked at his outburst and using the word "damn" in church. "Son watch your mouth." He retorted calmly.

"He's my son, I tell him to watch his mouth." Francesco snapped. "Boy, watch your mouth!"Vieri scoffed in response.

Nearly half an hour later, Claudia was ready to walk down the aisle towards her doomed marriage. She can not believe that she is actually going on with this. But a deal is a deal right?

She stood in front of the doors and took a deep breath as she waited nervously for them to open. She was able to keep some sense of composure when the doors did finally spread open. All eyes were on her in her cream-colored dress as she began her walk. Vieri was right in the center of the two sides.

Claudia had to admit, despite his unattractive cockiness, he did look handsome in his dark velvet suit. She focused most of her attention on her family, who gave her plenty smiles of encouragement. That made her smile back, a little at least.

"Oh look at our baby Giovanni," Maria whispered. "She looks beautiful." "Yes she does, if only her husband was more suitable." Giovanni said. "Hm, I agree with that." His wife responded.

Claudia and Vieri stood in front of the crowd. The priest cleared his throat and began to speak. "We have these two, standing together-" Claudia politely cut him off. "Excuse me, but Father may we please-hurry this up as much as we can." Vieri glared at her. "You wanted a small wedding, you got one." He whispered. "So I suggest you deal with this and let him finish the vows!" He turned to the priest. "Forgive us, you see we are so in love she's just as eager to return to our chambers to make our love even more official." Claudia was boiling with rage, she knew exactly what he meant.

Whether in a holy sanctuary or not, she was ready to punch him in the face. Not wanting to cause a problem, the priest read the vows as quickly as possible. "You may now kiss the bride." Claudia rolled her eyes and irritably sighed. Vieri smirked with a twinkle in his eye. "Don't mind if I do." She yelped as he grabbed her by the waist, bent her back and kissed her. Some of the guests let out a slight gasp as well.

Ezio turned to his father. "Father please, let me get one in." He said, popping his knuckles. Giovanni raised his hands down. "No son, there would be plenty of time once we get out of here."

After the ceremony, the guests had a small gathering party. Like in the church, the two families stayed on opposite sides of each. Claudia spoke with her brothers, who were giving her advice on what to do if Vieri ever disrespected her. "Look just because you're married to him does not mean you have to give in to his advances." Federico said. "And if he tries to get rough with you, punch him in the face." Ezio said. "Just like you did that one girl for looking at your bastardo porco ex Duccio." Claudia smirked, remembering that incident that got her suspended from school for three days.

On the other side, Vieri was talking to his sister Viola. "You ought to treat her nicely, just because she's a girl does not mean she can't be violent." Viola said. Vieri clearly irritable frowned. "And who are you to tell me what I should do?" He asked. "Claudia is my wife and as long as she gives me what I want, she will get what she wants."

Viola glared at her brother. "You know she has two older brothers that do not mind beating your ass." "Hmph, let them come at me. I'll always have back up." Vieri said. Then he paused. "Oh and I meant to ask you something sister. Is it true that Ezio gave you a 'handling'?"

Viola's glare turned into a surprised frown. "A handling?"

"Don't play dumb, you know what I mean. During our little quarrel on the bridge, Ezio said he gave you a 'handling'." Viola's eyes darted towards the middle Auditore boy, talking to his siblings. She stormed up to him and slapped him dead in the face, he obviously didn't expect it. "W-what was that for?" He asked, apparently shocked.

"So you told my brother that you gave me a 'handing'"? Viola questioned. Ezio raised his hands. "Hey I was only kidding." Then he gave her a dark look. "Besides, if he wasn't going around slandering my family we wouldn't have fought in the first place!" He paused when he saw Vieri snickering after he got slapped.

Meanwhile, after hearing the kids somewhat confrontation, Francesco decided to create one of his own. He went over to the refreshments table and poured two glasses of wine. He walked over to Giovanni with the glasses.

"Mr. Auditore, let us celebrate! Now that we are going to be in-laws." He said. "Here have a glass of wine."

Taken aback by this sudden kind gesture, Giovanni hesitatingly accepted the offer. "Um, thank you?" Right as he was about to take the glass, Francesco spilled both glasses of wine onto Giovanni's lap, soaking his pants directly in the middle.

"Oh! My apologies Giovanni." He responded in a fake sympathetic tone. "Here, let me help you with that." He took out a handkerchief in attempt to 'help', but Giovanni kindly brushed it off. "It's fine, just a little accident." He stood up and walked away, it was either that or punch the bastard in his face.

He walked over to Maria, who noticed the wine soaked stain on his pants. "I know he did that on purpose." He muttered.

Federico also noticed the incident; perhaps it is time to get a little even. "Hey where's the bride and groom? Time to cut the cake!"

The crowd gathered around the beautiful 8-tier buttercream cake. "Make room people, be a good guest and watch us eat cake." Vieri said, pulling Claudia next to him. Federico stopped him by raising a hand up. "Please allow me, since we are going to be in-laws, to offer the first piece-to your father."

He cut the piece of cake and turned to Francesco. "Here, you are honored!" He took the cake and smashed it directly into Francesco's face. The crowd gasped in shock. Francesco was red with rage.

"Oh you bastardo!" In response, he grabbed a handful of cake from the tier and smashed it back in Federico's face. That set it off, soon everyone started throwing cake, filled wine glasses, and other foods at each other, with a couple of punches being thrown in as well.

Vieri and Claudia stared, open-mouthed and speechless. The groom's face turned purple. "I cannot believe this!" He shouted, flinging his arms in the air, throwing a temper tantrum of course. "This was supposed to be my wedding day, MY WEDDING DAY! And this is what I get?" He grabbed Claudia's hand. "Come on, we're getting out of here."

"Where are we going?" She asked aggressively.

"Getting away from these idiots!" He answered.

They walked out the church hand-in-hand, the bells rang indicating that someone got married. Claudia was relieved that there wasn't a crowd of people to witness it.

The couple spent the rest of the day at a hotel resort, at least until their villa that both of their families prepared for them was ready. Claudia dreaded the idea that she now has to live with Vieri. It was already bad enough she had to marry him! They sat outside in the resort garden. There were small cakes, fruit, and wine sitting on a table. The only thing keeping the Auditore girl sane was the beautiful garden and the cool breeze flowing in the atmosphere. Surprisingly, Vieri didn't say anything to her at all. He was still angry about the fiasco at the wedding party.

The hotelier came by the couple, he cleared his throat. "Scusi, I believe you have some visitors." He said.

"Visitors? If things weren't bad enough, here I am having a quiet time with my new bride and I get unwanted visitors!" Vieri snapped. "Where are these visitors?"

"They're coming now sir." The hotelier motioned to a group following him. It was their families, returning from the wedding fight.

They were still covered in food and wine, yet they did appear a bit apologetic about it. Claudia's father was the first to greet them.

"Buona sera newlyweds." Giovanni said hesitantly. "Hello papa." Claudia responded, followed by hug. Then she went up to her mother and hugged her.

"Listen, we wanted to come just to say how sorry we were for ruining the wedding with that fight at the party." Maria said.

Vieri rolled his eyes. "Oh you meant to tell me that you came here for late apologies?"

"You know we could have came here without apologizing at all." Francesco snapped.

Claudia shrugged carelessly. "Well it's fine," She said acting nonchalant as ever. "In fact it was probably the best thing that happened at the wedding."

Vieri's father raised his nose in the air. "Hmph, at least we can agree on that."

Giovanni glared at him before turning to the couple. "We also came to inform you that the villa we prepared for you two is ready."

"Well, it's about time, now me and my bride can have some real quality time together." Vieri said, wrapping his unwanted arm around Claudia's waist. "So let's go see it!"

Early evening…

The sun was beginning to settle down as the in-laws arrived to the new location of the couple's villa. It was beautiful indeed, large enough and elegant, yet not too extravagant. Claudia stared at the place in awe, wishing she could share this with someone other than Vieri.

"Lovely place no?" Giovanni said. "We picked it out ourselves, somewhere that wouldn't be too far."

Vieri nodded his head in approval. "Yes, lovely place indeed, I must say you Auditore have good taste."

After glancing at the villa, the groom turned to the family. "Now if you will excuse me and my bride, we have to get to our honeymoon."

"Don't try to rush us out Vieri." Ezio replied.

"Oh what's the matter? Not too thrilled that your sister has finally become a woman, my woman?" Vieri smirked.

Giovanni raised his hands in the air. "Alright, you know what let's end this night for now." As much as his son wanted to punch Vieri, papa Auditore was ready to do the same. But deep down he knew he owed the Pazzi boy greatly for his favor, so couldn't really fault him. However, it did not mean he could just flaunt his only daughter around like she's another score.

"Please come by whenever you all like." Claudia said, ignoring the frown Vieri gave her.

"Oh we will," Federico said. "We'll come by the day after tomorrow." He gave a quick glance towards Ezio.

As the families grudgingly bid each other a good evening, Giovanni held his hand out to his son-in-law.

"Welcome to the family my boy."

"Grazie Messer Auditore, and don't worry I will take good care of your-

Before he could finish his statement (which held his usual cocky tone of course) and as he reached out to shake Giovanni's hand, the bride's patriarch grabbed Vieri's arm, bringing the two face-to-face.

"Oh you better take good care of my daughter." Giovanni hissed. A crazed look was in his eyes and it scared Vieri straight. "Because if you hurt her or break her heart, so help me God I will hunt you down like a beast understand?" He tightened his grip on every growling word he spoke.

Vieri grimaced in pain as he tried to respond. "Si, si I understand!"

"Good." Giovanni replied. He released his grip, and like someone released from an exorcism, went back to his normal self. "Well have a good night!" He said, giving a hard pat on Vieri's back making him flinch.

"Good night." Vieri managed to choke out.

"Good night papa." Claudia said. She glanced at Vieri and rolled her eyes, thinking of the fact that she's spending the night with this…sleaze!
