"I do." Ruby smiled happily as she looked up at the altar. Coco and Nora both looked beautiful in their wedding dresses. Coco, for once, wasn't wearing her sunglasses, so one could actually see the sparkle in their eye if they looked close enough. And Nora was beaming, her blue eyes shimmering and cheeks covered in a faint blush.
"I hereby declare you wife and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
And they did. The two brides immediately closed the distance between them and kissed each other passionately.
As the guests applauded, they broke the kiss and made their way down the aisle.
"Who would have thought," Blake spoke up from next to Ruby, "one chance meeting between your ex-girlfriend and your highschool friend would end like this."
"Yup, all thanks to you."
"Me?"
"Yeah, you. If not for you, I never would have met Coco, which means Nora would never have met Coco."
Blake giggled. "I see your point." She got up and Ruby took the moment to admire her. She was currently wearing an elegant purple dress with a black rose attached to it just above her left breast. Ruby wore a similar red dress, also with a black rose in the same spot. As Blake got up, Ruby saw Amber also hop off her chair. The little faunus had also chosen a red dress which, quite frankly, reminded Ruby of a tutu. But Amber had insisted and Ruby had to admit, she looked adorable.
"Well, then," Ruby said as she also got up, "time to eat."

"They make an odd couple," Weiss said as she looked at Nora and Coco, as they were currently cutting the cake.
Team RWBY had their own table. Jaune, Ren and Pyrrha had been seated with Coco's family, as well as Velvet and Penny.
Weiss had chosen a beautiful white dress and wore matching silk gloves on her hands. Yang had chosen a simple yellow dress that seemed oddly concealing for Yang. Ruby also noticed they were both wearing matching necklaces of white gold.
"How so?" Ruby asked.
"I mean, they only met a few times. And when you broke up with Coco, Nora chanced upon her and took her out on a sympathy date. And, somehow, they fell in love and got married. What do they even have in common?"
"They both like sweets," Ruby answered.
"And they both really like hitting things," Yang added.
"I suppose." Weiss took a sip of her wine.
"Hey, girls!" Nora bellowed as she approached the table. "Just wanted to give a quick heads up, we're about to toss the bouquet."
"Is that really necessary?" Weiss asked. "It's such a silly tradition."
"Are you kidding? Watching desperate women fight over some flowers is the best tradition there is!" With that, Nora happily skipped away.
After a short moment, Yang got up.
"Are you serious?" Weiss asked.
"Come on, babe. It's only a matter of time anyway." Yang winked. "We might as well make it official."
Weiss' face turned red and she looked away. "You dunce! Go ahead and play you're silly game."
With a laugh, Yang walked away.
As Ruby watched her sister leave, she noticed Blake getting up as well. "Blake?"
"Seriously?" Weiss asked.
Blake shrugged. "Might as well." And then she was gone as well.
So, Ruby and Weiss sat in silence, Weiss taking another sip of wine.
"So," Ruby spoke up, "have you two actually discussed...you know?"
"Marriage?" Weiss responded, to which Ruby just nodded. "Yang brought it up a couple times, but I just assumed it was because of this wedding."
Ruby nodded. "And what if it's not? What if she actually...asks?"
"I'd say yes."
That took Ruby off guard. "R-really?"
Weiss sighed. "Yang is...dear to me. When I was with Neptune, I thought I loved him. But, when I realized I loved Yang, I also realized that I'd never felt anything even remotely comparable towards Neptune. Yang...has been good to me. And to Hans. When I'm with her, the entire world just seems brighter. Ruby, I could name a million other reasons on why I'd marry your sister. But, I believe one is enough. I want to. I really do. So, if she were to ask me, I'd say yes in a heartbeat." She then paused, a contemplative look in her eyes. "Maybe I'd hesitate a little. Make her nervous," she said with a devious grin that made Ruby giggle. "What about you?"
Ruby's smile faded and she sighed. "I don't know. I...I love Blake. I do, but...after everything that's happened..."
"You need time. I understand."
"This past year has been full of ups and downs. The two of us have been through so much together. But, I can tell, it's getting better with every day." Ruby smiled. "We'll get there. In time."
A flurry of shrieks followed by a collective sigh of disappointment announced the tossing and catching of the bouquet.
Ignoring the noise, Ruby looked into Weiss' eyes. "I'm sure of it. When the time comes, I'll be able to say yes."
Weiss gave her a warm smile, but suddenly blocked out by flowers. "My lady," Ruby heard Blake say.
She looked up at her girlfriend, who happily smiled at her. Gingerly, she took the bouquet and gave it a sniff.
I guess that time will be sooner than I thought. Despite her previous reservations, Ruby couldn't help but smile at the thought.
A/N: And there you have it. I first got the idea for this story after seeing Blake blush at Sun in Volume 3. Terrified at the prospect of Eclipse actually becoming canon, I wrote this story as a form of protest. Now, six months later, it's become my biggest and most popular story on this site. I would like to take this moment to thank everyone who followed, favorited and/or reviewed this story. It has been a great motivator in continuing this story and I am overwhelmed to see how many people enjoyed. Now that I'm done with it, I think I'll stick to writing one-shots for now.
Thank you again for reading. Have a great day.
