A knock sounded on the door of th bridal suit. "Come in." Nightingale called cheerfully, feeling fully recovered.
Robert Green walked in the room and saw his eldest daughter in her wedding dress. "You look beautiful." He said. "I can't believe that this day is here. My princess is getting married."
Nightingale smiled up at her father. She could see his eyes glistening with unshed tears. She stood up from her chair and walked over to her father and hugged him. "I love you, Daddy."
"I love you too, sweetheart."
After a few minutes, the bridal party was ready and left the suit. They stood at the end of the asile and waited for the music to start. The music started and Mimi was the first to walk out. she took her place. Jin and Mine followed her out and took their places.
The beat of the music changed and the sheer curtains lifted and Nightingale stepped out on her father's arm. she looked up at the alter and saw Shigure standing up there waiting for her. He looks so handsome in a tux. She thought a smile on her face.
Shigure stood at the alter waiting for his bride to make her grand entrance. He watched as her bridesmaids made their way down the asile. When the music changed and the curtains lifted to reval Nightingale standing on her father's arm, Shigure was literally breathless.
Nightingale stepped out in a beautful a-line gown. It had an empire waist. The sleeves came down to her elbows and were made entirely of lace. The whole gown had a lace overlay and the veil was sheer and trimmed in lace. Her hair was pulled up and loose curls framed her face.
Shigure met them at the bottom of the alter. Robert Green turned towards his daughter and hugged her. Then he placed her hand into Shigure's. "Take care of my girl." He whispered.
"I will." Shigure said as he took Nightingale's hand.
They walked up a little farther together and stood before the minister. The ceremoney began. When it came to the vows the minister said, "Shigure and Nightingale have written their own vows and would like to share them now." Then he turned to Nightingale. "Nightingale."
Nightingale smiled through her veil at her groom, tears of joy stinging her eyes. she took in a deep breath and began, " Nightingale Green Take you, Shigure Sohma as my husband. I promise you the rest of my life. I promise to share with you my joy, my tears, my laughter, and my trust. I prmoise you that our life together won't be perfect, but through it all I will love you and cherish every moment we have together. Most of all I promise my undying love and devotion to you and our family and the life we will share together."
The minister then turned to Shigure. "Shigure."
Shigure smiled at his lovely bride. Tears stung at his eyes as the words she said rang in his heart. He took in a breath and began his own vows, "I shigure Sohma take you, Nightingale Green as my wife. Today I give you the rest of my life. I will share with you every part of me..." this part elicited a snicker from Aya, "I will laugh with you and cry with you. Most of all I promise my unending love, devotion, and protection to you and our family. I will love you and our family and cherish every moment of the life we share together."
"The rings please." The minister said, turning to the maid of honor and the best man.
Mimi handed the ring to the minister without delay, but of course Aya had to pretend that he had lost the ring. after searching through his pockets he pulled the ring out and handed it to the minister.
The minister handed the ring to Nightingale. She placed the ring on shigure's finger. Then He handed shigure the other ring and he placed it on Nightingale's finger. "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."
Shigure grinned as he lifted Nightingale's veil. He cupped her face in his hands and kissed her lips. When they broke the kiss they stood there for a few moments, their foreheads close together. They gazed into each others' eyes and it was as if all the love and joy in the world surrounded them and lifted them up. Mister and Misses Shigure Sohma stood before their closest family and friends ready to spend the rest of their lives together.
Mary stood in the back of the small chapel located on the Sohma estate. She made sure to stay out of sight. She watche as her eldest daughter got married. She shed silent tears as she heard beautiful words spoken by and to her daughter. Thank you God, for letting her find happiness and her turning out so well. Mary sent up the silent prayer. I think I did the right thing for them in staying out of their lives. I miss them, but it turned out for the best. When the ceremoney was completed Mary slipped out of the Sohma estate the tears falling down her face. I love you, my sweet daughters. She thought as she drove away.
