A/N- Wow, this chapter took me a long time to write. But I'm trying to make all my chapters just right, so they might be taking longer than the first book.
Enjoy!
Aang's POV
When I proposed to Toph, I never even thought about all the preparation there was! Her parents are making such a big deal about this. And we had planned on getting married next month.
Toph hates this as much as I do. Right now her mom, Katara and Ty Lee took Toph to buy a wedding dress. God, convincing her to go was a nightmare. But I personally wouldn't care if she wore a dress or just her Earth bending clothes. She looks beautiful no matter what.
"Aang? Snap out of it!" Sokka says, snapping in my face.
"What?" I ask groggily. I didn't get much sleep last night because Toph and her mom were arguing about some pettily thing for the wedding.
"Zuko wants to talk to you. He said it was urgent," Sokka tells me.
I walk into the next room where Zuko was. I'm glad Toph and I decided to get a big house, because everyone is staying here.
"What's up Zuko?" I ask him as I rub my eyes.
I look up at him. He's glaring at me.
"Look, I wanted to talk to you about this whole getting married thing. Toph's been like my little sister to me ever since Uncle became her second father… though she can be an annoying brat sometimes. So I'm just looking out for her when I say this. Don't think that just because you two will be married soon means you should push her into having sex. She might have a really hard time with that because she was raped," Zuko tells me sternly.
Even though I'm shocked that he would think that, being the Avatar, I can see where he's coming from.
"Zuko, I'm not going to push Toph into having sex. I only want what's best for her," I tell him.
His face softens a little as he nods him head slowly. "Just be aware that she might never be able to do that. And put her before yourself in this situation, or you could find yourself an enemy of the Fire Nation."

Toph's POV
I hate this. I hate the wedding preparations. I hate that I have to wear a dress. I hate it all. If for any reason I have to get married again, I'm eloping.
"Toph, you should totally get these shoes!" my mom tells me.
If she wasn't my mother, I'd Earth bend her out the window.
"I'm not wearing shoes mom!" I yell.
"Oh, but honey, you'd look so good in them!" she tells me.
"I can't see with shoes on!" I yell. I'm getting really aggravated at this.
"I'm sure somebody would be happy to help you," she says sweetly.
A low growl escapes my throat at the 'H' word. The only person I'll ever think about accepting that from is Aang.
To my relief, my mom puts down the shoes. Then Ty Lee comes bouncing up to me. As nice as she is, I can't stand how preppy she is.
"Ooo! Toph, you should wear this dress! It's so pretty!" she says.
This is going to be a long day.
&&&&&&
It's finally the day of the wedding, and I'm actually nervous. Imagine that, me nervous.
I hear a knock at my door.
"Come in!" I yell.
Katara and Sokka come in.
"Oh! Toph! You look so pretty!" Katara squeals.
"You look good Toph," Sokka tells me.
"Thanks guys," I say sincerely for once.
"So, you nervous?" Katara asks.
I nod my head. "A little."
"You can't be as nervous as Aang is. I swear, if I didn't know any better, I'd think that he drank some of that tea again," says Sokka.
"Huh?" I ask confused.
"Never mind that. Anyway, you two have nothing to worry about. You've been living together for three years with Hanako. I don't think that this is going to change much," Katara tells me.
I smile at her slightly. I hope she's right.
&&&&&&
The whole wedding went smoothly, ending in a sweet kiss between Aang and me.
Afterwards, I head back to our room to change out of this wedding dress the other girls made me wear, but Aang grabs my hand before I can leave the room.
"Where do you think you're going?" he asks playfully.
"I'm going to change out of this dress they forced me into," I tell him sternly.
"Aw. But you look so pretty in it," Aang pleads.
"You'll have to do better than that Twinkle Toes," I say as I pull my hand from his grasp.
He steps closer to me
"Maybe I should come with you then," he says.
I smack him on the shoulder at his suggestive comment. He laughs.
"I'm kidding. Just hurry up. I don't like being away from you," he says as he pulls me into a hug.
"Twinkle Toes, you don't have to worry about that," I say as I'm still in his arms. I nuzzle my nose into his chest and close my eyes.
"We're spending the rest of our lives together."
He pulls away a little and tilts my chin up towards his face. I can tell he's looking into my blind eyes. He leans in a gives me a kiss.
"You can count on that."
A/N- I hope you liked it. I hate writing boring wedding sences, so I've decided to spice it up in the next chapter, which is the reception. Please review!
Thanks for reading!
