Ed groaned as he got up out of bed. He missed the warmth that was usually next to him. It had been about a month until they had finally said that they were dating.

Another eight months had passed and Riza proposed to him in which he replied no, though he quickly explained that it should have been him that proposed. The shock had worn off fairly quickly. They had been talking about getting married, but until then it had been nothing more than talk.

Now today, a year from when they had gotten together — which Ed counted as the day Riza told him to take a vacation and he started to live with her, Riza had gone to work early. The wedding was in four days, but Riza had insisted that Mustang would take care of the wedding and she would take care of their honeymoon.

Ed sighed. It would be nearly the entire day until he saw Riza again. She would probably be done with her work right as he got in, and then he wouldn't see her till tonight.

ssssssss

Riza snuggled closer to Ed. The wedding was tomorrow and she couldn't make herself go to sleep. She knew nothing would really change, at this point it was more of a formality between them. She was changing her name to Elric. She had thought about keeping her last name, but there were a lot of bad memories attached to it, while the name Elric only had good memories or at least no purely bad memories. There were always bad memories when there was a war.

"Riza, come on. Go to sleep already. Staying awake will only make it seem longer." Ed said tiredly.

Truthfully he had butterflies in his stomach as well, but had had been working hard enough the last couple days that he was tired enough to sleep through practically anything, though Riza always managed to wake him up somehow.

Ed went back to sleep, holding Riza. After a few hours, Riza went to sleep herself.

The morning was, as they expected, a rush. They had tried to get everything together the day before, but inevitably they both forgot where they had set things down, and realized there were other things they needed.

Eventually, after much running about, Ed and Riza were out the door. Ed pulled at the collar of his suit as Riza drove. She had insisted that she wanted a nice formal, non-military wedding. Ed didn't particularly care what type of wedding it was, so he agreed.

Ed wasn't particularly interested in anything in the wedding. The whole idea of getting married didn't really mean anything to him. All it meant was it was acknowledged by the state. However, he knew it meant more to Riza so he didn't say anything.

Ed, despite the fact that he didn't really think much of the process, couldn't help but grin like an idiot through the entire ceremony.

After everything was finished Ed moved to kiss Riza, but faltered and fell face first into Riza's chest causing everyone to laugh.

There were a few concerned looks since Ed wasn't getting back up. "Don't worry" Riza said smiling. "He's been working to long and too hard, and I kept him up all night" she said with a bit of a chuckle.

Riza brought Ed into the back while everyone turned to each other and started talking.

"I can't believe out of everyone, Ed and Riza were the first to get married" Alphonse said laughing.

Roy laughed. Ed was annoying, but he was one of the few that Mustang trusted with his life. "Especially to each other" Roy added "I remember seeing the look on everyone's faces when they announced the wedding, although I probably looked the same as everyone else" he said laughing.

"I'm just surprised that Ed could get someone like Riza" Winry said, unable to contain the slight smile on her face.

A gunshot rang out in the back, causing everyone to turn towards where Ed and Riza had gone. Mustang, his team, and Alphonse ran to the back.

Tears started to brim their eyes as they saw the two bodies before them. Blood soaked Riza's white dress, a bullet wound in what looked like the heart.

Ed had blood covering his suit, and when they checked on him, there was no heartbeat and some of the heat had already left his body, however, there was no bullet wound.

Looking at them, Riza was wrapped up in Ed's arms, the gun laying only a few centimeters away from her hands.

Looking on the dresser, they saw a note.

"It's definitely Riza's handwriting" Roy said, unable to keep himself from choking on the words.

Dear Friends and Family

Ed died when he fell into my chest at the altar. He could already feel that he didn't have much longer to live. I thought we'd have enough time to at least go on our honeymoon, but nonetheless, that's why we're both dead. Please bury our bodies together. Alphonse and Roy can decide what to do with our belongings.

Riza Elric

"I'll arrange the funeral" Roy said as he handed the note to Alphonse.

Havoc shook his head. He thought Roy should be the one to tell everyone, with him being the fuhrer and the closest to Ed and Riza, but he couldn't manage any words as Roy walked by.

After Alphonse read the note again, Breda took the note from him and went out to the front and read it to everyone. They had as much right to know.
