A/N: I had no idea that there are so many "traditional" wedding vows out there! Maggy I tried to stay as close to the William and Catherine royal wedding as I possibly could. This was a last minute add-on as I already wrote the chapter, and I also wanted to keep it short. I hope you and the fellow readers all like the ceremony for the first wedding. Based on the movie, Tiana was Catholic? So this will be somewhat of a Catholic wedding. I do not own PATF nor do I own the church wedding vows. So many versions could be found online, scriptures, etc. lol. Enjoy!

The Prince And The Waitress

Wedding Bells Pt. 1

Tiana stood in front of the mirror in the bridal room of the church feeling thankful, in love and nervous. All the rehearsals in vows, fittings, learning a new language-the restless nights of wondering it was finally coming to an end. Well, part of it would. There was still a second wedding she had to partake in a totally different country. The whole experience was overwhelming, and she almost felt lost.

She sighed at her reflection which was a beautiful one. Wearing a wedding gown that hugged her curves, and the gold fabric sewed on somewhat added weight onto it. Her other made sure that the dress was perfect, and she succeeded in doing just that.

The bride-to-be wore something old and that was her grandmother's wedding ring that she wore as a necklace, something new was the gown she was wearing, something borrowed was the simple but beautiful Maldonian princess tiara that was over two centuries old, and something blue was an blue diamond ankle bracelet Charlotte gave her.

"Well Ms. Tiana. Today you're getting married." She said to herself and exhaled. "Today I will become a wife to the most wonderful man I have ever known; aside from daddy of course."

Charlotte opened the door to her friend in her gown and felt tears forming in her eyes. "Oh Tia. You're as beautiful as a moon flower blossoming only for her wedding day."

Tiana turned to her friend. "I thought moon flowers only blossom at night?"

"They do, but you'll be doing plenty of blossoming tonight so why compare the flower to that event when I was referring to the wedding?" said the blonde.

Tiana rolled her eyes, not understanding the heiress at the moment. "Anyway, I really need a friend right now." She sat on the couch.

"Please don't tell me you're not having cold feet?" Charles asked with concern, sitting beside her.

"No, it's not that it's just that—I don't feel like myself." She hugged herself.

Charlotte gave her a questioning look. "What do you mean?"

She shrugged her shoulders, "From the rehearsals to the fittings of two dresses and having to act a certain way? And what's worse is having to learn a new language that I've never even heard of until a couple of months ago." She confessed. "And a little part of me feels like I'm betraying my daddy by marrying before I even open my restaurant-but then I feel as if I'm betraying Naveen for feeling this way."

"I can see how you could feel congested, but Tia. It's only a day-

"Two days if you're counting the other wedding." Tiana corrected.

"Two days." Charlotte corrected herself. "Aw Tia, both you and Naveen have the rest of your lives to look forward to that doesn't involve all the congestion of a wedding. Ya also happen to be marrying a handsome prince who wants to work by your side in that restaurant instead of living it up in a palace. And as for ya daddy, he's looking down at you right now-proud of his babycakes finding love. That's all that matters, right? Love." She took her hand to hers. "Tia, I envy your life." She admitted.

Tiana frowned. "Why?"

The blonde grew teary eyed while saying, "I've gotten everything handed to me while you worked for what you got. I always wanted to marry a prince charming and you wanted nothing of it. Now look at you—you're about to marry the most handsomest prince of all handsome princes. And he's madly in love with you. What more could you ask for?"

Tiana smirked before wrapping her arms around her friend. "Thank you so much, Lottie."

Charlotte returned the hug and kissed her on the forehead. "You deserve all the happiness that comes your way, Tia."

Naveen admired himself in the mirror that was displayed for him in the dressing room of the church. He wanted to be left alone so his help along with his father and new valet all respected his wishes.

"Well Mr. Playboy, today you are finally retiring your status for a new one...a husband." Naveen said to himself. "I only hope that my love is good enough to make Tiana happy."

He was very use to rehearsing and being under a huge amount of pressure and attention, but he wasn't use to getting married. The thought excited him more than fear. He and Tiana will finally live their dreams together in New Orleans. Though it would require a large amount of work to building their restaurant from the ground up; at least they had help so that their newlywed bliss wouldn't be too much of a delay.

Naveen wore his official royal prince uniform that felt just as stiff as the one he wore on his first arrival to the city. His brown wavy hair flowed beautifully on his head, almost perfect.

"No, my hair is perfect." Naveen corrected.

Perfect? His hair flowed perfectly.

"Much better." Naveen said, admiring his appearance once more. "Yes, you are the most handsomest prince. Tiana will not be able to resist me." He said proudly.

Kabir and Phillip, a good friend and new valet of Naveen's both walked into the room to see the prince being his vain self. Pleased with his chiseled features.

"Still in the mirror, I see." Phillip teased.

"I've got to look my handsomest for my beautiful bride." The prince grinned at the two.

"So you're not at all nervous on what's to come?" asked Phillip. Still shocked that his childhood friend of all people is getting married.

Naveen shrugged his shoulders. "Why should I be? I'm marrying the woman of my dreams today. The most beautiful woman in the world."

"But this is the rest of your life?" Phillip tried to talk him out of the marriage. "And she's definitely a beauty, but there are other beauties who will never get the chance to experience the most eligible bachelor of Maldonia-

"Oh nonsense!" interrupted Kabir. "His days of philandering are over, right son?"

"Yep. Tiana is the only woman I want." Naveen agreed.

"Sleeping with one woman for the rest of your life is what you really want?" Phillip couldn't believe this was his friend.

"If it's Tiana then yes, and that my friend is why I look forward to ending my nights with her." Naveen smiled at the thought of Tiana resting her head on his chest in their martial bed discussing their day and of course leading to making passionate with one another. Waking up to her flawless face every morning.

"About that son…" Kabir thought that it was his place to give him some man to man advice.

Naveen smirked at how serious his father was looking at him. He knew that look more than anything. "Father I think you're several years too late with the birds and the bee's talk." He patted him on the back.

"It's never too late for some marriage advice from your father!" Kabir returned the gesture.

"Then tell me father. What do you have to tell me about sleeping with my wife?" The prince didn't mind more advice, perhaps his father could offer him new suggestions.

Kabir smiled. "Treat her like the princess that she is. She's giving you a precious gift-

"A precious gift?" Phillip cut him off. "What is she a virgin? Now I know Naveen has lost his marbles. You didn't even attempt to get in that doll's panties?"

Kabir gave the young man a sidelong glance.

Phillip cleared his throat. "I'm sorry your majesty. You were saying?"

Kabir didn't understand why his son chose the young man to be his new valet. He still had a lot to learn. "As I was about to say, cherish the gift she gives you. A woman's virginity is a man's greatest achievement. Only he can take it from her once-

"Father, I love you but please. I can't stand to hear anymore." Naveen covered his ears, now regretting his consideration for advice.

Kabir laughed. "You are a very lucky man, Naveen. Not everyone is fortunate to marry the love of their life. Be sure to love each other always. And it's okay to be sensitive every once in a while. Women love that."

Naveen pretty much knew everything there was to about Tiana. So to hear his father repeating what he knew was annoying, but he knew it was only because he cared.

"Thank you, father." Naveen hugged his father.

"Anytime." Kabir returned the hug. "You deserve all the happiness that comes your way, son."

Naveen stood waiting for Tiana to walk down the aisle. If he wasn't nervous before he was now. He wasn't sure why he was suddenly nervous, but he definitely wasn't going to turn back on his one chance at true happiness.

The organ interrupted his thoughts and soon he saw Tiana, his heart felt as if it stopped.

'Mi benita.' He thought to himself as she walked down the aisle. She looked breathtaking.

Tiana gave Naveen a small smile as she neared him. The look in his eyes said it all and she was satisfied by his approval. She walked over the white rose petals that were on the aisle runner, trying her best to suppress her tears.

Once they finally touched hands Tiana saw her perfect looking prince and felt as if her heart stopped.

'He's so handsome.' She thought.

They couldn't stop gazing at one another.

"You're an absolute vision." Naveen whispered.

Tiana blushed at the compliment and the way his honey coloured eyes looked lovingly into her brown ones.

The priest nodded his head at the couple before beginning:

Dearly Beloved, we are gathered together here in the sign of God and in the face of this company to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony, which is commended to be honorable among all men; and therefore is not by any to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently, discreetly, advisedly, and solemnly. Into this holy estate these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together let them speak now or forever hold their peace.

Not one person said a word and the priest continued:

Marriage is a union of husband and wife in heart, body and mind. It is intended for their mutual joy, and for the help and comfort given one another in prosperity and adversity. But more importantly, it is a means through which a stable and loving environment may be attained.

Through marriage, Naveen and Tiana make a commitment together to face their disappointments, embrace their dreams, realize their hopes and accept each other's failures. Naveen and Tiana will promise one another to aspire to these ideals throughout their lives together, through mutual understanding, openness, and sensitivity to each other.

We are here today before God because marriage is one of His most sacred wishes, to witness the joining in marriage of Naveen and Tiana. This occasion marks the celebration of love and commitment with which this man and this woman begin their life together. And now, through me, He joins you together in one of the holiest bonds.

"Do you Naveen Antonio Marius Raffael Vasillis Ghib-Poletti take Tiana Rose Dalcour-Brown to be your wife, to live together after God's ordinance, in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy to cherish and continually bestow upon her your heart's deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keeping yourself only unto her as long as you both shall live?" The priest asked the young prince/groom.

"I will." Naveen answered with glassy eyes coming on.

"Tiana Rose Dalcour-Brown take Prince Naveen Antonio Marius Raffael Vasillis Ghib-Poletti to be your husband, to live together after God's ordinance, in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better for worse, in sadness and in joy to cherish and continually bestow upon him your heart's deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keeping yourself only unto him as long as you both shall live?" The priest asked the young bride.

"I will." Tiana answered on the verge of tears.

Phillip handed Naveen Tiana's wedding band who then gently slid it through slender finger while repeating after the priest:

"I, Naveen Antonio Marius Raffael Vasillis Ghib-Poletti, take thee, Tiana Rose Dalcour-Brown, to my lawful wedded Wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth." Naveen fought as hard as he could to not shed a tear, but the battle was becoming quite difficult as he saw the tears in his brides eyes on the verge of escaping from hers.

A teary-eyed Charlotte handed Tiana Naveen's wedding band who then gently slid it through his ring finger while repeating after the priest:

"I, Tiana Rose Dalcour-Brown, take thee, Naveen Antonio Marius Raffael Vasillis Ghib-Poletti, to my lawful wedded Husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I give thee my troth." Tiana's voice cracked as the tears she was fighting back escaped from her eyes.

Naveen saw the love, desire, excitement his wife had for him. The thought of her giving him this look for the rest of his life put a smile on his lips.

Tiana saw the loving gazes Naveen was giving her made, the fire, passion, protectiveness her husband has for her. The thought of him doing this for the rest of their lives put a smile on her lips.

"Then I pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." The priest said to the couple.

Naveen couldn't believe that this moment was finally here, Tiana is now his wife, and they're lives have just begun. Their dreams finally coming true. So with a loving but possessive arm around his wife's waist, he dipped her over and sealed their marriage with a kiss.

A roar of applause could be heard from the guests.

""I love you." He whispered on her lips.

""I love you, too." She responded, continuing their kiss.

Naveen and Tiana danced their first dance as husband and wife, feeling as if they were the only two people in the room.

"You have the most beautiful eyes." Naveen broke their silence.

Tiana shyly looked away from her new husband, only to feel his hand cupping her chin to look into his eyes.

"You don't ever to hide from me." He said before pressing his lips onto hers.

Nagina, Eudora and Charlotte all sighed as they watched the newlywed couple before them.

"They are very much in love." Nagina said, holding Eudora's hand.

"Yes they are! Which means grandbabies this time next year?" Eudora beamed.

"I hope they have a little girl! I would spoil her to dickens!" Charlotte squeaked, holding Kanad's hand.

"So will you marry me?" The prince asked the blonde.

She leaned over and whispered. "Only when you turn eighteen, darling." She joked and gave him a kiss on the cheek just as the music to the first dance music ended.

"Do you want to get out of here?" Naveen whispered in his wife's ear. He was ready for some alone time.

"Yes." Tiana answered.

Kabir made his way to his son and new daughter-in-law. "My son and daughter!"

"Merde." Naveen cursed. He was ready to have his wife to himself.

"Naveen!" Tiana scolded. Despite her husband's frustration, she didn't want any drama in her wedding.

"Alright. I'll be nice" He said as his father approached them. "Hello father."

Both father and son hugged.

"I'm very proud of you, son." The king pulled from the hug before wrapping his arms around his new daughter. "Thank you for helping my son realize how important true love is. I thought he would end up being like his uncle. An old man who had a lot of and many children."

Tiana shook her head.

"And my lazy son needed a job, and you gave him one! You are an angel sent from heaven." He released his hug to take a good look at the newlyweds. "I'm sure that you are both eager to leave."

"Yes." Naveen answered, looking at his wife who gave him a raised eyebrow. "What?"

Kabir laughed. "Ah memories. Well, I will leave you two be. Just remember that first thing tomorrow we leave for Maldonia." He reminded them while walking away.

"Oh that's right!" Tiana remembered. "We best be headin' back to—oh wait! I have to let my mama know-

"Your mother no longer holds responsibility for you. Let me do my job." Naveen scooped her in his arms, walking them out of the room.

"Naveen!" Tiana's cheeks flushed at his quick motions. Whistles could be heard on their departure.

Phillip whistled. "Atta boy, Naveen! Show her how us Maldonian men please!"

Kabir sighed in annoyance. "Faldi faldonza."

Naveen's apartment –

Naveen carried Tiana through the threshold, closing the door and headed them straight to his room.

He sat his new bride on the bed and saw the love, lust and shyness in her eyes. 'Time to get that shyness out of her.' He thought. "Would you like some champagne?"

She smiled. "You know that I don't drink."

"But you've never even tried any." He left the room and returned several minutes later with a very chilled bottle of the alcohol in one hand and two glass flutes in the other.

Tiana raised an eyebrow. "And how did you mange to buy a full bottle of champagne without getting arrested?"

"My father gave it to us as a gift." He answered, not seeing what was the big deal.

She rolled her brown eyes. "Even after we told him to not get us anything after hiring those constructors to work a whole new building for our restaurant?"

"Hey…" He popped the cork from the bottle. "…it's good champagne." He poured some in the flutes before sitting on the bed, handing her a glass, "and we do not have the experience to build buildings, no?"

Tiana took a small sip and cringed at the strong but bitter taste. "Ugh."

"Oh you didn't even give it a chance." Naveen laughed.

"It's disgusting!" She said, feeling the mild burning sensation going down her throat.

"Try to drink half of it for me?" He raised his eyebrow and poke out his bottom lip.

"Are you trying to get me drunk?" She asked, trying not to laugh at her husband's pitiful face.

"Me? Oh no. Why would I do that?" He chuckled with sarcasm hinted in his tone.

"Because I know how you are." She then pinched her nose.

Naveen raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What are you doing?"

"Getting this over with." She then gulped the entire drink down, quickly regretting her idiotic decision. "Oh my god!" The burning sensation could be felt doing down her chest and stomach where she rested her hand on.

Naveen laughed. "You're going to regret that."

Tiana groaned, disgusted by the taste. "Why is that?"

"You'll see." He finished off his drink before pouring another serving in their glasses. "One more for the team?" He held her glass.

"No." She pushed his hand away.

"Oh come on, Tiana. Let loose and stop acting like a stick-in-the-mud." He had to mess with her.

"It's disgusting!" Tiana tried to stand but quickly fell back onto the bed, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.

Naveen found it humorous. "Lightweight." He teased, setting the glasses on his nightstand.

Tiana snorted, "You're trying to get me drunk, and it worked." She looked him up and down, growing aroused.

Naveen saw his wife's lustful gazes and lowered his face to hers, wrapping an arm over her tummy. "Are you relaxed?"

She nodded her head. "Mmhm."

He grinned, "Good." Lowering his lips onto hers.

Tiana wrapped his arms over his shoulders, deepening their champagne flavored kiss, feeling her husband harden member on her thigh. Though she was a bit nervous with it being her first time, she knew that her husband will make sure that she was conformable.

"I love you." Naveen breathe onto his wife's lips.

"I love you, too." She responded softly.

His lips then moved to her neck, hearing a moan escaping his wife's lips. Satisfied he kissed her collar bone.

"Mm." Tiana moaned, feeling even more relaxed.

"I can't wait to kiss every inch, crevice and curve on your perfect body." Naveen whispered, kissing down her breastbone. "Your skin is so beautiful-

Tiana's snoring cut him short.

Naveen shot up to see his wife fast asleep. So he gave her a gentle shake. "Tiana?"

She didn't shift as her chest slowly rose and fell in her slumber.

A disappointed sigh escaped the prince's mouth, but he found it funny nonetheless. "So this is why you do not drink." Naveen said to his sleeping wife and caressed her cheek before kissing it.

"We have the rest of our lives to make up for tonight."

He carefully moved his wife to her side of the bed before taking off each heel. He then pulled the covers over her before taking off his own shoes and uniform top-joining her. Looking out the window he saw the moon shining into the room. Ending their wedding night with a gentle kiss on the lips. He whispers,

"Giodia-noches mi benita wife."
