Welcome to chapter 15. Finally it's time for the ceremony! (Pooka marking Ceremonies are actually very short compared to human weddings.)
Love
Bells rang and everything seemed to freeze in anticipation. Bunny stood at the altar waiting as Frost made her way up the isle escorted by Old Man Winter. Each second seemed to last a million years. But eventually she made it to the front.
Cupid began to speak, but it fell on deaf ears. The pookas were too lost in each other's eyes to hear anything until they got to the "I do's".
"Do you, E. Aster Bunnymund, take Frost J. Rabbit to be you Marked Mate? To love, and to hold. In sickness, and in health. For as long as you both shall live."
"I Do." Bunny said.
"Then place the mark upon her." Cupid said.
Bunny slowly leaned down and bit into Frosts neck, leaving a permeate mark to show she was his. After it was for sure a permeate mark that would last all eternity, and the blood stopped, Cupid turned to Frost.
"And do you, Frost J. Rabbit, take E. Aster Bunnymund to be your Marked Mate? To love, and to hold. In sickness, and in health. For as long as you both shall live."
"I Do." Frost said.
"Then Place the mark on him." Cupid said and Frost did to Bunny as he had to her just moments before. "You may kiss the Doe Mate."
Bunny slowly lifted Frosts vale and once the barrier was out of the way he held her close and kissed her. Everyone around them cheered, but they heard none of it. They were lost in the others lips.
Finally after what seemed like centuries they pulled apart. They then ran down the aisle and towards the table where the Ceremony cake was and everyone else was already gathering to watch.
They began to cut the cake and everyone laughed as Bunny, being the gentlepooka he was, shoved Frosts nose into the icing. She then, being the lady she was, grabbed a fist full of cake and shoved it in Bunny's face. Everyone, but North who was waiting for his slice, laughed.
Finally after much cake shoving, it was cut and served. Then there was the best man's speech and the maid of honor's speech.
North began to tap his glace of (Spiked) carrot juice.
"Everyone. We would like to begin speeches now." He said and everyone became quiet. "I have known Bunny for long time now. At first I thought him to be just some annoying unhelpful rabbit with an egg obsession. But he quickly proved me wrong and we defeat Pitch together and become guardians! Over years Bunny has proven to be great friend and guardian. Though Christmas is still better I shall respect Easter for now as it's his big day." North finished which got him the middle finger from Bunny for the Christmas comment and lots of laughs. Tooth's speech was much shorter do to an over dose of spiked juice so the Dance came almost immediately after North finished.
The song played was Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden.

When the song ended everyone but the cleanup crew had left. Bunny looked into Frost's eyes.
"Frost. Ya ready to make it official? That we're mates?" Bunny asked huskily. Frost smirked.
"I've been ready for months now. Do you have to ask?"
Bunny smiled as he led her toward their special nest, made just for tonight.
"I guess not…"
