Finally! We are at the moment we have all been waiting for :D Anywho, I did a LOT of research, but it didn't go very well, because I am still not sure how the wedding really goes. I think it's more of an introduction, and then it's vows, because that's the only stuff I could find :P
I tried my best...
Sahari's fingers itched, gripping the bouquet with all her might.
"Oh God... I am so nervous," she whispered barely. Arfur, standing next to her in a handsome tuxedo, chuckled, taking her arm into his.
"You can do it Sahari," Arfur assured her. "You, and your children." Sahari paused for a while, one of her hands leaving the flowers and feeling over the stomach. She smiled, a tear almost falling when she felt them kicking.
Luke... Summer... I know, she thought, assuring them that she knew they were there, anxious for their parents to finally be together. Sahari took a deep breath, gripping Arfur's shoulder a little tighter.
"Arfur... thank you for walking me down," Sahari said in a thankful tone. Arfur chuckled.
"I am honored to. It will be years before Babochka is ready, and she would probably rather have her own father then her uncle," he said. Sahari chuckled a bit, watching as the huge wooden doors began to open.
"Wow, this place is so pretty," Dustin said happily, gazing around the room. He made sure to sit all the way in the front row, determined to get the best view of the ceremony. Sand and ice colored streamers were hanging out all over the place, as well as balloons and flowers of the same colors. Banners were hung around, covering the religious carvings of the walls. Dustin looked around at the seats, seeing so many people he knew. He could see Bear A. Marcus sitting not to far away, with the Diggerling twins taking their seats a few rows in front of him. Sprinkling came skipping in with Fannie, twirling around in her puffy pink dress. Storkos came in, a smile on her face because she had the day off to come to such an event. She was pushing Jardiniero in, with Langston hopping behind them slowly, as if unsure if going to this wedding was more important then work. Eddie's father, Edward, and his wife, Elizabeth, walked in next. Elizabeth was cradling young Edwin, who was looking around the room in surprise and curiosity as the family took their seats. Lottie and Willy were practically dragging Maddie in, who looked like she wanted to kill herself when she wore her light blue dress. Even Petula was coming in, swaying her hips around to look sexy for Donovan, the stripper at the girl's party. It was said that Maxime was the one who probably invited him, but for some reason, he believed to have doubted that.
What's so great about a stripper anyway? he asked himself, turning around and pouting. Seedos was in the seat next to him, shifting a bit.
"God, I hate these clothes," he muttered. Dustin nodded, scratching his legs.
"I know. These pants are making me so itchy, not to mention this seat is uncomfortable," he whispered back as the music began to play. Both him and Seedos turned around, watching as Babochka, the little flower girl the happy couple had chosen, as she skipped down the isle. She was flaunting her flower-patterned dress, holding a straw-woven basket in one hand, tossing rose petals everywhere as she made her way down. A lot of people cooed over how cute she looked as she dumped the rest of the flowers all over Sparcticus' feet, much to the Eskimo's dismay. But Sparcticus smiled, as if nothing could make him frown now as Babochka took her basket and took a seat in the front.
Okay Sparcticus, you can do this. This is what you have been waiting eight months for, he told himself over and over. He took a deep breath, appreciating the friendly hand on his shoulder as Eddie tried to relax him. After a couple of pats, the hand left, leaving Sparcticus to wait anxiously. He looked down the aisle, seeing what he had been waiting for, for the longest time.
Sahari was smiling under her veil, which was partially covering her face. With her arm around Arfur's, she slowly walked down the aisle, her dress swaying over her feet with every step. She looked so confident, so happy, so bright. Sparcticus gazed upon her with ever bit of love he had in him, watching as the curls in her hair bounced with every step. Everyone was watching as she walked down, taking pictures and videotaping this moment. All was going so well, so beautifully-
"Okay, WHO the HELL just said I looked fat?" Sahari suddenly shouted out of no where, glaring over at one side of the aisle. She was holding out her bouquet, as if she had hidden a knife in there to hurt somebody with. The music stopped, and everyone was now just giving her weird looks.
"I heard you, whoever you were! Now, who said my dress made me look fat?" She demanded. Sparcticus slowly brought his head back, silently praying that he was just seeing this, and that this wasn't happening. Eddie and Patch glanced at each other, while Bart just hung his head down, trying not to laugh. The bridesmaids were trying not to laugh either, while Maxime shook her head in shame.
"I'm going to ask one more time, who said I was-"
"Da da da DA, da da da DA, da da da DA DA DA," Arfur began to sing quickly to the beat of the normal wedding music, dragging Sahari up to where her awaiting fiance was. He brought Sahari up there, giving Sparcticus a silent look of "I'm so sorry" before taking off to go sit next to seat. The room was silent for a few moments longer, the awkwardness of what had just happened filling the atmosphere. It was only Sahari who didn't seem to notice, with the toothy grin she was giving Sparcticus. The Eskimo suddenly forgot about her outburst, and smiled at her warmly.
"You look beautiful," he whispered, leaning down and lightly kissing her cheek. Sahari blushed, giggling slightly.
"You two," Sahari whispered back, her fingers intertwining his. Her warm brown eyes gazed up at his icy blue eyes, mesmerized enough to where she had almost hadn't heard the pastor beginning to talk.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to day to witness the love and the bond between Sparcticus and Sahari," he said, spreading his arms out to the desert girl and the Eskimo. The two looked at each other, both inhaling sharply. It would be a lie to say that either one of them weren't nervous. Both looked at each other, searching each other's faces to find comfort. All eyes were on them; seriously, who wouldn't be nervous in this situation?
The pastor inhaled, clearing his throat quietly. Normally, the weddings he did would be very traditional, and he would have a whole speech ready about the bond of marriage and the love the bride and groom will soon share. But these two were different, and wanted a quick wedding to get straight to the vows.
"Sparcticus," The pastor said, turning to the Eskimo. "Do you promise to take Sahari as your wife, to love her always in sickness and in health?" Sparcticus turned all the way to Sahari, taking her other hand as well. His lips were already partly open, his eyes lidded. He and Sahari decided to get to the vows right away, not wanting to leave everyone to sit forever. He started to sweat a bit, getting nervous again. He didn't want to screw up his vows. He had practiced them many times, saying them out loud as he worked in his garden, or saying them into his mirror at home, and even one time when Eddie offered to wear a wig so he could practice a little better. It took hours to get the Lizard boy to stop crying over the vows he wrote.
"I, Sparcticus, take you, Sahari, to be my wife, my partner in life and my one true love. I promise to make you laugh everyday, to remain faithful to our vows for better or for worse, in times of sickness and in health and to love you everyday, in good times and in bad. I promise that together we will face all of life's experiences and share one another's dreams and goals for as long as we both shall live," he started, sincerity in every one of his words. Sahari smiled, tearing up a bit. She sniffled slightly as her emotional side started to take over, not realizing that Sparcticus still had more to say.
"I also promise to hold from this day forward, to run out and get ice cream for you in the middle of the night, to always put the toilet seat down when I'm done, to pick up my dirty socks everyday, and to occasionally miss a football game when we have something else to do; this I promise you from this day forward until death do us part," Sparcticus continued, sounding a little nervous. Catching the amused faces of the people out of the corner of his eye, adding the humor to his vows was a good idea. "Sahari, I love you." He finished.
Eddie sniffled like Sahari was, pulling a bright purple handkerchief out of his pocket. He lifted his mask up slightly, dabbing his eyes. He stuffed the cloth back into his pocket, and he leaned over slightly to look around Sparcticus. His purple eyes looked over at Seiko, who looked back over at him. She was smiling lovingly, her dainty hand coming up and waving at him slightly. Eddie's own lips stretched into a smile, happy that they had made up with each other. His heart pounded slightly. Seiko gave him a bit of a confused look, wondering why he was staring at her so funny.
Finally, Eddie's lips moved. Seiko's eyes widened a bit, staring at his lips as they moved. She could have sworn they just mouthed out "I love you" to her.
Those three words, the three words she has never heard him say to her before. Sure, he has hinted it quite a few times, but never came out and said it. Suddenly, the room started to get all fuzzy...
"She's going down!" Willy's voice yelled out. Everyone turned, their eyes wide as Seiko suddenly dropped to the floor out cold. Leafos and Gretchen knelled over, shaking her slightly. Eddie's face fell, flushing a bit.
"Is she okay?" He blurted. Gretchen stood up.
"Yeah, I think so," she said. Sahari inhaled sharply, starting to panic slightly. She didn't think something would go wrong already! She sighed in relief a bit when Matthew, their wedding planner, walked over frantically.
"Don't worry, I got her," he said, looking over at Patch. "Um, can I borrow the doctor?" Patch looked at Sparcticus. The Eskimo nodded.
"Yes, of course," he said dismissively. Patch silently thanked him, while also apologizing for having to leave. Helping Matthew pick up the girl, they brought her over to the side.
"Jesus, not only are we missing one of the good microphones, but then a bridesmaid has to pass out in the middle of the ceremony," Matthew muttered as they dragged Seiko away. Sahari shook her head, turning back to Sparcticus, smiling like she did before. It was like nothing had happened.
"Sahari, to you promise to take Sparcticus as your husband, to love him always, in sickness and in health?" The pastor asked, trying to drift everyone's attention away from the doctor fanning Seiko's face. Sahari nodded, looking up at Sparcticus, squeezing his hands a little tighter.
"I, Sahari, take you Sparcticus to be my husband, my partner in life and my one true love. Because of you, I laugh, I smile, and I dare to dream again. You have helped me let go of the past, and I embrace the future. Sparcticus, I look forward with great joy to spending the rest of my life with you. I promise I will always cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you and respect you, I promise I will laugh at all your jokes and cry with you when things aren't so funny. I promise to love you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together. Today I give you my hand, my heart, and all of my love. I promise to always be there for you, and to love you and to the children that will be here very soon," She said, using the same sincere tone Sparcticus had used before. She took a deep breath, some humor flashing through her eyes.
"And from this day forward, hold from this day forward, to let you watch your favorite football games without me complaining, to limit my shoe purchases to 5 a year- or maybe 8- , to not roll my eyes at you when you talk about your frozen gardening tricks that only you would know and to love and to cherish you; from this day forward until death do us part. I love you, Sparcticus," she finished.
"Aww," Leafos said quite loudly. Sahari whipped around, shooting her a nasty glare. Leafos's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth with her hand.
"Sorry..." she mumbled. Sahari nodded as if satisfied, and turned back around to Sparcticus. The pastor exhaled through his nose, as if slightly annoyed. Sahari clearly showed that she was annoyed a little bit, while Sparcticus seemed to be unfazed by everything.
"Sahari, do you take Sparcticus to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The pastor asked. Sahari nodded.
"I do," she said, sounding a bit teary. Sparcticus' face brightened like it never had before as he waited for the pastor to ask the same thing.
"And Sparcticus, do you take Sahari to be your lawfully wedded wife?" He asked. Sparcticus opened his mouth to answer, although Sahari beat him to it.
"He does," she said quickly. Some people in the room snickered. Sparcticus chuckled.
"You always were impatient," he said, turning to the pastor. "I do." The pastor smiled, spreading his arms out once more.
"You may now, kiss the bride," he said. Sparcticus happily obliged, moving the veil and mask off of Sahari's face, pressing his lips to hers with both ferocity and compassion. Sahari threw her arms around Sparcticus' neck, pulling him closer as everyone began to cheer and applause. Eddie was now sobbing tears of joy, trying to cheer as loud as he could. Bart was just as happy, although he wasn't really into all the yelling. Leafos and Gretchen were only clapping, smiling as big as they could for their friend, while Maxime just smiled, looking at the happy expression on Sahari's face.
Never, in all years they had been friends, had she seen Sahari so happy.
"W-what did I miss?" Seiko asked, walking up to the other bridesmaids. Leafos turned to her.
"You missed the main event! Are you feeling alright?" she asked frantically. Seiko nodded, still in a slight daze.
"I'M SO PROUD OF YOU GUYS!" Dustin screamed, racing up and practically tackling Sparcticus to the ground. The Eskimo tried to pry the skinny blonde off of him.
"Dustin let go! Sahari and I have to-" Sparcticus said, not sounding irritated in the least bit. He was actually laughing, taking Sahari's hand and walking her back down the aisle when Dustin finally released him. The newly married couple were practically giggling the whole way, rushing out of the building as fast as they could. Of course, due to Sahari's situation, that meant they couldn't go too fast.
"Sparty, is that a-"
"Courtesy of Edward Lizard," Sparcticus said, running over to the limousine that was parked out front. He opened the door, allowing his new wife to be let in. Sahari squealed, hopping into the unfamiliar vehicle. After all, Patch was the only villager who actually rode in a car.
"Congratulations you two!" the village called out, waving the happy couple off as the limo sped off. Sahari looked out the window, returning the waves of everyone, her smile probably getting even bigger. She was as happy as anyone could be. She was now married to the love of her life, the father of her kids.
Not to mention the limo did add a few extra happy points.
"Oh my God, Sparcticus, I can't believe we are married," She said, turning to him, sliding her hand over his. "This isn't a dream, right?" Sparcticus shook his head, leaning forward to press another gentle kiss on her heated lips.
"It is not a dream, my lovely wife," he whispered. Sahari squealed.
"Oh Sparty! I can't wait for the reception party," she said, practically jumping up and down in her seat like an excited five-year-old. "I hope the P-Factor is ready." Sparcticus chuckled.
"Oh, we aren't going to the P-Factor," he said. Sahari cocked a brow at him.
"But isn't the reception at the P-Factor?"
"Nope." Sparcticus said. Sahari looked pretty confused now.
"Then where are we going?"
"Oh, you will see," he said, kissing her temple. It wouldn't be long now until she would get to see the surprise he had been hiding for months now.
Of course, there is still one unanswered question.
"Say Eddie, what did you do to make Seiko faint?" Bart asked back at the church. Eddie looked at him weirdly.
"Huh?"
"I saw you lean over and look at her. Did you say something before she fainted?" the tinkerer asked. Eddie's face flushed a bit.
"Well, because of the vows being so moving, I looked over at Seiko for a moment, and i realized how pretty she was today."
"And?"
"Well, I mouthed out 'You're so beautiful'. I guess those words meant a lot to her, or she forgot to eat before she came," Eddie concluded. Bart nodded, looking over at the still-dazed gardener. He shook his head.
God, that girl can get so emotional over a small comment like that, he thought.
:D So I hope that wasn't too cheesy. I tried to add some humor into it a couple of times, and you know... I'm only in high school, so I'm not married, therefore I tried to be as accurate as I possible could be :P
Anyway... we have the reception party last chapter... and it's hard to say how that would turn out, since the last party we had didn't exactly turn out too well xD
Anyway, please review :D
