The Love that Ties us Together

DISCLAIMER: DON'T SUE ME. I'M JUST A FANFICTION WRITER.
Link burst through the doors of the temple, only to see a stressed out king, and an even more stressed out princess. Zelda's blue eyes lit up the moment Link burst through the door.
"There you are! We've been wondering when you guys would show up… wait… where is Sadon?"
"Sadon left this morning. He decided he couldn't go through with this wedding. It was too much for him."
The king's face turned as red as a Gerudo the moment Link mentioned this.
"WHAT!?" the king boomed, "You mean to tell me, that Sadon just bailed on us?"
"He loved someone else, and he returned to her." Link explained, "I know how it feels to love someone else."
"Well now what are we going to do! We're cooked!" the king said as he slumped in a wooden chair.
"What about me?" Link said, "I'm not a prince, but I could still be eligible."
"OH NO!" Zelda exclaimed, "Daddy, you are NOT going to make me marry this forest trash!"
"Zelda, it is either marry your body guard, or watch the world burn. Make your pick." The king explained.
"Zelda-" Link began.
"That is Princess Zelda to you!"
"Err- Princess Zelda, you can simply divorce me once we return from the Spirit Temple." Link said.
Zelda thought about this for a while, then agreed. "Let's just get this over with."
Zelda was nearly ready, but Link had a far way to go. Link had twigs in his hair, a dusty black tunic, and muck all over his face. The prep team washed Link, and cleaned his hair.
"It's too bad we don't have anything nicer for you to wear," said one of the prep workers.
"I was thinking the same exact thing," said another.
"Oh, well. Guess he is going to be married in these dusty old rags." replied the other worker.
The young man stepped out from behind the board to see the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. She was sitting in an old wooden chair with her arms and legs crossed. Her hair was curled, the pulled back in a majestic braid. Her cheeks were a light pink, but not overdone. Her beautiful blue eyes were complimented by a stunning shade of purple. Her lips had a natural shade of lipstick on them, and simple triangular earrings dangled from her pointed ears. Her snowy white gown sparkled in the light that trickled through the chamber windows. She had a stern, yet relaxed look on her beautiful face. She certainly was the most beautiful girl in the world. Link was looking at Zelda in a way he had never seen before. She looked over at Link in a very relaxed manner and just said, "You clean up nice."
Link wasn't sure what to say, his breath seemed to have been stolen from him, "Uh… I… Err…"
"Yes?" Zelda questioned.
"Princess Zelda, I-"
"Okay, let's get this show on the road!" the king shouted.
"What are you trying to say?" asked Zelda.
"Never mind, I'll tell you later." Link decided.
Link and Zelda walked up to the minister and listened to his words. The ceremony was fairly short considering they had no vows prepared, or rings for that matter. But once he said the words, 'I do' he realized something important. He was going to have to kiss Princess Zelda. When the time came, they just stared at each other for what seemed like an hour. Link decided he was going to have to be the first one to go for it, so he leaned inward. Zelda followed until their lips met in the middle. Zelda's lips were soft and smooth, it felt as though he were kissing a marshmallow. The kiss took his breath away, and he had the sudden urge to put his hands in her hair, and pull her even closer. Zelda leaned in closer and grabbed his hand. Link was the first one to part the kiss, but he wanted to continue kissing her forever. Once the two parted, they just stared at each other for a while. They dropped hands and looked at the king and the guards.
Suddenly, something struck his brain that couldn't be avoided, 'What the hell am I going to tell Nabooru?'
