The ceremony was being conducted by Father Abraham Harker. Despite all the monsters in the room, he didn't seem the least bit disturbed. Tsukune shouldn't have been surprised considering the rumors he had heard. Apparently he was superhuman, but the details were a little sketchy. Though normally cool and collected, Harker was prone to violent outbursts of rage whenever something controversial had happened in the world, with fatal consequences for the parties involved; but apparently a monster wedding wasn't an issue for him. Tsukune stood beside him at the altar while the processional began. All the girls looked very pretty in their dresses, but nothing could prepare him for what was coming.

"Oh… my… God…"

Moka was escorted down the aisle by her father. She was wearing a beautiful sleeveless dress that made Tsukune's heart skip a beat. The memories began to hit him like a freight train. There had been countless time when he thought this day would never come. Ever since meeting Moka, not only had Tsukune nearly died more times than he cared to count, he had also been told multiple times by Moka's inner self that he wasn't good enough for her. But here she was walking down the aisle.

"This is really happening… wow."

"Calm down." whispered Moka taking his hand "I could hear your heart beating on the other side of the building."

"Sorry, it's just… you look absolutely amazing."

"So do you…" she blushed.

"Friends, family, honored guests, humans and monsters alike." said Harker "We are gathered here today to witness the joining of Tsukune Aono and Moka Akashiya in the bonds of holy matrimony."

"ALRIGHT! WOO-WOO-WOO!"

Tsukune and Moka looked over and saw that the person cheering was none other than Quetzalcoatl himself. Harker continued to talk about how they lived in uncertain times and how love could overcome anything, but to Tsukune it was all just a blur. He was too caught up in his goddess of a bride.

"Mr. Aono… MR. AONO!" bellowed Harker.

Tsukune reacted like he had just woken up from a dream.

"What?"

The entire congregation laughed.

"Sorry, I was understandably caught up in the moment."

Harker cleared his throat.

"Do you Tsukune Aono take Moka Akashiya to be your wife, to have and to hold, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward as long as you both shall live?"

"I do…" he said doing his best to hold back the tears.

"And do you Moka Akashiya take Tsukune Aono to be your husband, to have and to hold, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward as long as you both shall live?"

"I do… for all eternity."

"By the power vested in me, I know pronounce you man and wife… You may kiss."

Tsukune could barely contain his excitement as he lifted Moka's wedding veil. Sure they had kissed before, but this time she was saying that she belonged to him and that he belonged to her. Some people in the congregation were crying, but Tsukune and Moka weren't paying attention. When his lips finally touched hers he felt like his whole body was going to explode with happiness.

"Did that really just happen?" he whispered.

Moka giggled.

"Of course it did, you big stud."

The next hour was spent taking pictures. Tsukune was very surprised that Moka hadn't tried to suck his blood yet. Whenever she got this happy, she usually got hungry too, but so far she hadn't done anything. Eventually it was time for the reception.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the future Dark Lord and Headmaster of Yokai Academy, Tsukune Aono and his new wife Moka!"

Moka's family had spared no expense in preparing a bountiful banquet for all their guests. Toasts and speeches were given, but Tsukune was just too lost in his new wife to pay attention to any of it.

"She's so beautiful, and she's all mine… I'm the luckiest guy in the world."

Before they knew it, it was time for Tsukune and Moka's first dance. The song was Jennifer Lopez's "Ain't it Funny", and as they began to dance it felt so right.

I locked away my heart, but you just set it free
Emotions I felt held me back from what my life should be
I pushed you far away, and yet you stayed with me
I guess this means that you and me were meant to be.
 The next dance was for Moka and her father, then Tsukune and his mother.

"It hasn't been easy for me to accept… all this… but even a blind man can see how much Moka makes you happy… and I know you're going to do great things… I'm proud of you Tsukune."

"Thanks mom."

While some of the others continued dancing, Tsukune and Moka were pulled away to officially meet Oberon and Titania.

"So you're Tsukune Aono…" said Oberon in one of the most commanding and richest tones Tsukune had ever heard "I must say, I didn't expect someone with your reputation to be so young."

Tsukune wasn't sure how to respond. He could sense how powerful Oberon was. He felt the same uneasiness he got whenever he was in the presence of Moka's father.

"Thank you… your majesty."

"I'm also surprised someone who used to be human would be capable of wooing the daughter of Akasha Bloodriver and Issa Shuzen… What makes you so special?"

"Special… me?"

Moka took Tsukune by the arm, and gave him a very reassuring smile. Tsukune could almost swear that her face had been turning pinker throughout the day.

"Forgive me for being blunt Lord Oberon, but I don't think someone of your background can understand what my beloved Tsukune and I have been through together."

"You must excuse my husband." said Titania cutting in "He takes everything way too seriously."

"You're mocking me, aren't you?"

"My Lord, we may be among the most powerful monsters in the world, but even we can't comprehend the greatest power of all… love."

"I guess you're right."

"Take my advice, no marriage is perfect. You need to put a lot of work into it. But I'm sure the two of you will do just fine… and I'm sure you'll make beautiful children."

Tsukune was sure his heart had just stopped. He heard Aqua clenching her fist while concealed behind the corner.

"Isn't it… a little early to be thinking about that? Where's Quetzalcoatl?" he said trying to change the subject.

Almost on cue, Quetzalcoatl came barging into the room carrying what appeared to be a golden statue twice his size on his back.

"Greeting Tsukune Aono!" he said sounding overly friendly "I'm Lord Quetzalcoatl, damn glad to meet ya!"

"Uh… I'm glad to meet you too."

Quetzalcoatl dropped the load he was carrying on the floor, it made the whole building shake.

"A present for you and your wife."

"Is that… a solid gold statue?"

"No, that's a solid gold fertility idol. Over eighty tons of blessings upon your marriage."

"Showoff…" said Oberon under his breath.

All this talk about children, and by extension the process of making them, was beginning to make Tsukune feel very hot under his suit.

"What about our gift my lord?" asked Titania.

"Ah yes…"

Oberon took a small bell out of his robe and rang it. For a moment nothing happened, but then there was a bright explosion of light.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Puck is in the house! Sorry, no autographs."
