Last hint for next story: look at the end of the chapter! yes, that's your hint! Haha!
This might be shorter than the rest, but the feelings are still strong...
No more waiting! Please read the final chapter!
It was just an hour before the wedding. Both Terra and Surane were nervous beyond belief. It had been a few months since Xemnas had died and things were back to normal. Except for the wedding of course. Terra constantly sent his best man, Ven, to check and make sure his bride was still there. You'd think after hearing 15 times that 'Surane is still there', Terra would be okay. He couldn't help it. Every second away from his love was like a deep emptiness in his heart growing at a fast pace.
"Ven..." he started, adjusting his bowtie out of nervousness.
"Terra..." his friend warned. "She's still there. I'm positive she hadn't moved an inch."
"I know... but, could you... please? Just one more time..." the groom begged.
"You said that the last seven times..."
"And I'm saying it again. Ven, you would do it too if it was your wedding." Terra teased, still nervous.
"True enough, I guess."
Ven shuffled back down the stairs of the west wing and headed to the east wing again. After a few staircases, he reached Surane's bridal room. He could hear the bridesmaids giggling and talking inside. He knocked on the door.
"Come in, Ven." Iris called out.
The blonde came in as told. Looking around, he saw Surane was at the balcony window instead of the chair next to the bed. Apparently, she did move an inch, more like 10 feet. At least it was something he could tell Terra.
"Your highness..." he said.
Surane looked away from the window and faced him. She gave him a weak smile. The bride was nervous as well. She didn't feel like anything would go wrong, instead she felt nervous being in front of all those people. Even the girls from the ball were there, probably attempting to thwart the wedding. It wasn't something she needed to worry about though. Terra was marrying her, no matter what anyone did.
"Yes, Ven?" she responded.
"It's Terra again..." he sighed.
"I know... I nearly sent Iris out to see him." Surane laughed.
"But we all knew you'd be running back up here in no time." Iris giggled, hugging her fiance.
"At least I always see the most beautiful thing in the world when I come up here." Ven smiled.
The two lovebirds shared a kiss. Their wedding wasn't for another few weeks and they couldn't help but bask in the romatic glow of this celebration. Of course the bride and groom didn't mind, they were too nervous to think! The other bridesmaids sighed and helped Surane with her hair. The black mane was curled and styled to flow from her head and onto the shoulders. Her dress was beautiful as well. The lace corset held up flairing layers of white silk. The shoulder straps hung off of her actual shoulders and were adorned with white roses. The rest of the corset had hand sewn white flowers on it.
Iris placed the silver princess crown on her head. This was the last day she would wear it as a princess. Her veil was clipped to her hair and was out of the way of the crown. Down in the chapel, awaited her new golden queen crown as well as her future husband.
Now, the ceremony was about to begin. The grand pipe organ bellowed out the starting notes of the bridal march. Surane stood at the back of the aisle, waiting her turn. All of the bridesmaids walked slowly down the aisle with their respected groomsmen. Aqua with Zack, Sora with Kairi, and the best man with the maid of honor: Ventus and Iris. Once they made it down the aisle, Surane began her first step.
All the way down, she felt a familiar presence come upon her. She felt her father hold her left arm down the aisle and her mother hold her right arm. The bride couldn't help but cry. The nostalgic feeling of having her father here and the overbearing warmth of her mother there as well was much to handle. Same could be said for King Eraqus. He sensed his best friend there as well. But he had to suck it up quick, he was the divine power to marry the two kids.
Terra stared at his bride coming down the aisle. She didn't even look like she was walking. It was more like a graceful glide down to him. He almost saw her beautiful wings floating behind her. She made it down the aisle all too soon. Terra held out his hand and Surane took it. They walked up to Eraqus, ready to say their vows.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join..." Eraqus proclaimed.
Of all the people who should've been listening to the ceremony, Surane and Terra were not. They were standing next to each other and close enough to talk to each other. Eraqus was busy addressing the audience and didn't notice their lips moving.
"Nervous?" Terra asked.
"Yeah, for about a week now..." she whispered back.
"I know... same here."
They smiled up at Eraqus when he looked at them. The King's eyes wandered back to the audience.
"Can you believe it? We're almost married..." Surane said.
"Yeah... can't wait to start."
Now, the King turned to the happy couple. Ven and Iris stepped forward, handing them the rings. Surane handed the bouquet to Iris and held Terra's hand, ready to say her vows.
"Princess Surane of Radiant Garden, do you take Prince Terra of the Land of Departure as your lawfully wedded husband and join your two lands together, under the power of Kingdom Hearts, in a reign of peace forevermore?"
During the vow, Terra slipped the marriage ring on her finger. Surane looked at her groom and smiled brightly.
"I do."
Now, it's Terra's turn. Surane slipped a ring on his finger while Eraqus spoke the vow.
"Prince Terra of Land of Departure, do you take Princess Surane of Radiant Garden as your lawfully wedded wife and join your two lands together, under the power of Kingdom Hearts, in a reign of peace forevermore?"
"I do." Terra smiled.
"You may now kiss the bride."
Terra took the veil off of Surane's head and gave her a passionate kiss.
The guests awed at their vows. The servants brought their new crowns forward and a long piece of parchment. It was time to legally bind their countries.
"By signing this document, you both agree to join your countries under your ruling and future rulings of your descendants. The new country will be named Land of Gardens. Do you agree?"
"Agreed." both bride and groom spoke.
They both signed the document using their new names of 'King Terra' and 'Queen Surane'. All that was left was the official crowning ceremony, but first...
Eraqus took them over to the thrones in the chapel. First, Terra had his crown placed upon his head and a robe of red velvet over shoulders. His father stood in front of him, saying the royal vow.
"Terra, do you solemnly swear to accept the title as 'King Terra of the Land of Gardens' and respect the title under the authority of Kingdom Hearts?"
"I solemnly swear so to do." he stated, before sitting down.
Eraqus wiped a tear from his eye and went over to Surane. A crown was put on top of her head as he performed the royal vow for her.
"Surane, do you solemnly swear to accept the title as 'Queen Surane of the Land of Gardens' and respect the title under the authority of Kingdom Hearts?"
She felt her parents standing up there with her, proud to see their daughter become queen.
"I solemnly swear so to do." she stated.
Surane sat down on her throne next to Terra. The guests gave them an astonishing applause to their new rulers. The new King and Queen smiled to each other and shared another kiss.
"Terra, will you love me till the day I die?" she asked.
"No, much longer than that."
"How much?" Surane teased.
"Far longer than forever." Terra smiled.
The husband and wife shared another kiss, ready to embrace their new life together.
