Summer and Lightening
She had waited for his love for so long and now today was the day that they would finally be together. They were going to be together for the rest of their lives. Today was their wedding day.
Unlike any other bride, she didn't feel nervous about the wedding. She felt calm, at peace, if not a little giddy that today was finally the day. She wore a white dress, perfectly fitted to cover her back but look stunning all the same.
When the moment finally came her grandfather walked her down the aisle towards her husband to be . He looked just as calm as she felt. He even managed to flash her grandfather a comforting smile before turning his eyes onto her. It was clear he was stunned by her appearance. He took her hand, gently caressing her skin with his thumb. The priest gave his service, an unreligious one since neither of them were distinctly religious, and then they exchanged vows. When it was time to say "I do", the couple smiled and said those two words defiantly. After years and years of being unable to express their love because of rules and regulations, they were finally able to say the two words that really mattered.
She had never been so happy. Even when the guys from work got a little to drunk, or when Ed delivered a half scathing speech that ended up with him being hit over the head with a wrench by Winry or even when she watched her horrified husband get the biggest hug she'd ever seen by Armstrong that almost made his eyes pop out of his head. She had laughed and smiled like there wasn't anything wrong in the world. Everyone had told her how lucky she was to have a husband like the one she did, although she knew that already.
But she wouldn't say she was the luckiest woman in the world. She would argue that she'd never been lucky. Things tended to happen to her regardless of luck. Her husband had come into her life not because she found him or he found her, but rather he found her father. They only were reunited once again because she was sent to Ishbal like he had been. There was no luck, there was only some sort of perverse fate. Maybe it was magic, but she doubted that her husband would agree. Nevertheless, she was happy for the time being.
As the couple led their first dance after the toasts and everything else, the heaven's opened and the whole wedding party was drenched by summer rain. Lightening flashed and thunder rolled but the couple stayed glued to the dance floor, dancing like nothing was wrong. Even though he'd told her so many times he hated the rain, he didn't seem to care. In each others arms, nothing could go wrong. They were making up the time they lost in and right now in the summer and lightening.
