Chapter 30 Kookaburra

The day of our wedding arrived sooner than everyone expected, me and Nightingale were already moving some of her things into my room for when we're married, we were both ever so excited, after the morning all of Nightingale's belongings had been moved and the wedding was in 2 hours, we all dashed to our rooms to get ready, the girls were obviously going to be much longer.

I was halfway with getting my suit on when there was a knock on my bedroom door, I turned and Gildar was stood in the doorway, he was already suited up and ready.

"You alright Kook buddy?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just a bit nervous, I never thought that this day would come."

"It's alright mate, you just need to relax, you're bound to be nervous, this is a big moment in your life, but you need to look on the positive side of things, at least it's a beautiful day, so there's no risk of rain."

"Yeah, I know, but I just have this feeling that something or someone is going to spoil everything."

"Who'd do that?"

"Well, what if Raven suddenly comes back to ruin the whole wedding."

"Would he do that?"

"I don't know, it sounds like something that he might do though."

"Does he know about the wedding?"

"No."

"Well what are you worrying about then, if he doesn't know about it then he's not going to spoil it."

I was glad that Gildar was there to comfort me, when I was finished getting my suit on, we both walked to the altar together, Gildar kept on reassuring me that everything was going to be fine. When we got to the altar the vicar was already there talking to my dad and Nightingale's dad.

"Here he is." My dad said when me and Gildar walked over. "You ready son?"

"Err…yeah, I guess."

At that moment Vane came running over to us.

"I've just been to see how Nightingale and the girls are getting on." He said panting.

"What is it, are they alright, has something happened." My heart started beating faster.

"No, nothing's happened, but Nightingale looks fantastic, you're really in for a surprise bro."

My nerves suddenly disappeared and I now couldn't wait to see Nightingale in her dress, I tried to imagine what she may be wearing, but no doubt that whatever she's wearing will be the exact opposite to what I imagine, I completely forgot that the vicar was there, coming back to the real world I turned to talk to the vicar until other people started to arrive.

"Don't worry about it Kookaburra." Said the vicar. "It's perfectly natural to be nervous on your wedding day, I can assure you, everything's going to be absolutely fine, I've done hundreds of weddings"

"Thank you father. I've just been having these feelings all week that something's going to go wrong." I replied.

Me and the vicar were talking for around fifteen minutes until people started taking their seats, now that the moment was getting closer and closer I didn't seem as nervous, my heart wasn't hammering against my ribcage as much anymore, when Thorne went to sit down in his seat with Shaiden and their mum and dad he gave me a quick thumbs up. Everyone was sat in their seats in just a few minutes, my nerves suddenly came back, and I couldn't stop thinking about what Nightingale could be wearing.

Gildar saw that I was starting to get uncomfortable again, he came over to my side patting me on the back.

"Don't worry Kook." He said.

I smiled at him nodding, it wasn't my normal kind of smile, it was a sort of crooked smile which went up in one corner with the other corner staying put, the next thing that I heard was the sound of the music and people standing up from their seats, Nightingale was now walking down the aisle, I looked over my shoulder to look at her, her dress came down to the ground, on the front there was a white patterned silk fabric, which started above her chest and went down all the way down to the bottom of the dress, the rest of the fabric was pure white fabric, the sleeves came down to her hands and were flared at the wrists, her veil came down to her waist at the front but it came down to the ground at the back and was slightly trailing behind the dress, both Ballista and Faetal also looked stunning in their dresses, their dresses were both a dark red colour and came down to the ground, the sleeves came down past their elbows and to their wrists, they were also flared slightly at the wrists but not as much as Nightingale's.

When she finally got to the altar I leant over to her to whisper to her.

"You look beautiful." I whispered.

"Thanks." Nightingale replied.

The vicar then stepped forward to start the service.

"Please be seated." He said.

Everyone sat back down in their seats, the service could now begin.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join together this man and this woman in holy wedlock. First, I am required to ask anyone present who knows a reason why these persons may not lawfully marry, to declare it now."

My hands started to tremble expecting someone to shout out a reason, no one did.

"Then we shall begin." Said the vicar. "The vows you are about to take are to be made in the presence of God, who is judge of all and knows all the secrets of our hearts, therefore if either of you knows a reason why you may not lawfully marry, you must declare it now."

Both me and Nightingale were silent, as soon as those moments were over I let out a sigh of relief, before we could get to the actual marriage, there was declarations to get out of the way.

"Kookaburra, will you take Nightingale to be your wife? Will you love her, comfort her, honour

and protect her, and, forsaking all others, be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?" The Vicar

asked.

"I will." I answered.

"Nightingale, will you take Kookaburra to be your husband? Will you love him, comfort him, honour and protect him, and, forsaking all others, be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?"

"I will." Nightingale answered.

The vicar then looked to the congregation. "Will you, the families and friends of Kookaburra and Nightingale, support and uphold them in their marriage now and in the years to come?"

"We will." Everyone replied.

When the readings and the sermon was out of the way, it was time for the moment that I was so scared of messing up, the vows, me and Nightingale got up to stand before the vicar.

"Kookaburra and Nightingale, I now invite you to join hands and make your vows, in the presence of God and his people." He said.

Me and Nightingale turned to face each other and held hands, Nightingale could see that I was really nervous about this, I looked up from my hands and looked at Nightingale, she looked deep into my eyes and whispered.

"Just relax babes."

Hearing her voice again made me relax instantly, I was still shaking and worried that I was going to mess up, but I was relaxed enough to get words out of my mouth.

"I Kookaburra, take you Nightingale." Said the vicar for me to repeat.

"I Kookaburra, take you Nightingale." I repeated.

"To be my 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 law."

"In the presence of God I make this vow."

It then came to Nightingale's turn, she didn't seem that nervous or worried about messing up by looking at her facial expression, body language and the tone of her voice, the only thing that was a bit of a give away was the big exhale she gave when she'd completed her vow. When it came to the giving of the rings Gildar stepped forward and handed the rings over to the vicar, after the quick prayer I gently placed the ring on Nightingale's fourth finger.

"Nightingale, I give you this ring." Said the vicar for me to repeat again.

"Nightingale, I give you this ring." I repeated.

"As a sign of our marriage."

"With my body I honour you, and that I am I give to you."

"And all that I have I share with you."

"Within the love of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit."

Thank goodness that was over now everything was nearly over and just the proclamation was to get by and me and Nightingale would be legally married, I was now starting to relax, and my hands weren't trembling as much, the vicar turned to me and Nightingale for the final time.

"In the presence of God, and before this congregation, Kookaburra and Nightingale have given their consent and made their marriage vows to each other. They have declared their marriage by the joining of hands and by the giving and receiving of rings. I therefore proclaim that they are husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." He said.

I gently lifted the front of Nightingale's veil up revealing her face, I put my hands on her waist, leant forward and gently kissed her, she wrapped her arms tightly around my neck, I moved my left hand to her back and quickly swung her around into the dip kiss position, the only thing that I could now hear was the sound of applause, when our lips parted I couldn't help but smile, this is the best day of my life, I took Nightingale's hand as we walked back up the aisle together, now happily together as husband and wife, and now totally ready for whatever the world would want to throw at us from now on.
