Fullmetal Rock Chap.19

For the next week Edward and Winry both concentrated on their studies and took their finals. Trying to keep busy with wedding plans and Edward doing his tests for the military they hadn't had time for each other. Winry had asked Rhea to be her maid of honor and Riza and Sara Rockbell had taken the girls shopping. The mothers wanted something old fashioned but Winry wanted something that would floor Edward and make him want her through the whole ceremony. So she found a beautiful floor length strapless tight fitted dress with a train on it. It snugged her breasts and sat them up against her chest very perfect and round. It was just the dress she had envisioned herself marrying him in.

Edward on the other hand was having to get fitted for a tux and a tux just wasn't his style as he told Roy. "Well Ed it's your wedding. What do you want to get married in?" They left the tux shop and he took Roy and Mr. Rockbell to a store he usually shopped at. Mr. Rockbell looked at all the leather in the store as Edward went to work shopping. He nudged Roy "I wonder if I'd look good in a pair of these?" Roy laughed "Try them on you'll be irresistible to your wife women love leather." Roy spotted a pair of leather pants and took them to the dressing room. When Edward came out he wondered where they had gone till they both appeared out of the dressing rooms with leather pants on and he smiled "Looking good guys." He said checking that the pants fit him in the right places. Then he turned to his fathers. Wow! Fathers that was something he never thought he would have, two fathers "I guess I'll make the ladies happy by wearing a long sleeved dress shirt." They agreed as they both checked out their ass and Edward laughed.

Next they had to go order the cake but lately it seemed Edward was busy doing military stuff and Winry was feeling a little neglected. He was always so busy and she hoped this wasn't what their life was going to be like another words she was getting nervous and she needed reassurance. Edward hadn't had time to notice because the military was testing him thoroughly and by the time he got home he was wore out.

He was supposed to meet her for lunch but military training made him late and she was walking out the door when he got there. "I'm sorry baby" he said kissing her cheek "Ed we were supposed to have lunch together. This is the only time I have before I have to be at the flower shop." Edward had a few hours free and he saw how upset she was "I'm sorry Winry this military training has me booked. But I do have a couple of hours free to be all yours so walk with me." He stuck his hand out and she looked at him with tears in her eyes "I have to be at the flower shop to meet mom and Riza." She wanted to stay with him and he saw how stressed out she was as he pulled her into a hug "Winry blow it off our moms will pick out the flowers for us if you're not there. Right now I need to be with you." She wiped the tears from her eyes as he kissed her forehead and held his hand out again and she smiled and took it. He led her to the park back to the swings where they had spent time together before and as he sat her on the swing and pushed her. She felt more at ease about everything finally he caught the swing and turned her to face him "I'm sorry I haven't been around very much and it's killing me baby. But if we can just get through this week of tests and training I'll be all yours after that." She looked up at him with those beautiful eyes he loved so much "Promise Ed." He leaned forward and kissed her lips softly as he said "I promise." He didn't have a guitar or a piano this time to make her feel better the only thing he had was his promise. He softly began to sing 'Open arms' by Journey and she smiled at him feeling that he was trying to make her feel better and to her surprise it was working. The love she had for him could conquer anything they had to go through. When he finished his serenade to her she smiled at him as she placed her hands on each side of his face "You are my love Edward." Feeling her stress and pain was something he had felt for months and it was like they were connected in a strange way. He hated to see anything but a smile on her face and it nearly killed him that she was stressed out.

They only had to make it through a few more days of chaos before things would settle down. So he took her hand and led her over to the grass where he sat her down "Baby you are my life and I'm only doing this so I can take care of you better. I never meant for this to be this stressful on you so I'm going to bail on my next training exercise. I'm going to tell them I can't do it right now because of the wedding." She looked up at his surprised he would do that but she knew if he did it would set his training back a week and she swallowed hard as she gathered all her strength and looked at him "No Ed you have to do this. I'll just have to deal with it and like you said it'll only be a few more days."

He knew that was hard for her to say but he'd noticed in the past few months she had gotten stronger so he slightly smiled "Alright then." As he began to stand he held out his hand and she took it, pulling her up into his arms he gave her a slight kiss on the lips.

The rest of the week was spent on last minute arrangements and a rehearsal dinner. Winry was at her wits end getting invitations out, buying shoes and making her appointment for her hair she had also made Rhea one.

The day of the wedding arrived and everything finally caught up to Edward as he began to stress out that morning. For one thing he had over slept because he was exhausted form all the training and tests that week. So he had Al and Roy trying to calm him down "It's alright brother slow down before you burn up in the atmosphere." Al told him turning his head from side to side trying to keep up with Edward as he ran around the house.

"Shut. Up. Al." Edward said running by him smacking him on the head. Al grabbed his head "Oww that hurt Ed." Roy grabbed Edward as he ran through the kitchen "Boy you need to slow down and think." Edward looked at him like he'd completely lost his mind as he spoke "I happen to remember someone acting the same way when he married mom." Roy thought back to that day and remembered he almost broke his leg and was almost ran over by a truck trying to get to the church on time. He let Ed go and smiled "All the more reason for you to slow down."

Edward knew they were right he just wanted this to be perfect for Winry. So he took a deep breath and then went upstairs and took a shower, got out and got dressed. Then he walked downstairs as everyone else had arrived and asked Riza if he should put his hair in a ponytail or wear it down? She smiled seeing how handsome he looked with it down "Wear it down Ed."

Winry and Rhea had left the hair salon and were headed for the church as Winry looked at her watch "CRAP! That took too long we've got exactly an hour to get me ready." They both began to run down the street to the church.

She was freaking out when they arrived at the church to get her dressed but her mother already had everything laid out for her. As she put her dress on and her shoes she finally got to look in the mirror at herself and she was shocked by how beautiful she looked. She stood there and thought to herself 'Well this is it today I marry the man I love and I hope he's pleased with the way I look?' Rhea heard someone knock on the door and when she answered it Al was standing there "Hi I came to see the bride before the ceremony." Rhea smiled and Al's eyes almost popped out of the sockets due to the way she looked "Hey baby you look hot." Rhea smacked his arm "Aw, Your just saying that." Al lowered his head "No you really look beautiful Rhea." That made Rhea feel ecstatic as she hugged him then he walked up to Winry "You look beautiful too Winry." He reached in his pocket and pulled out a box and handed it to her "Brother wanted me to give this to you before the ceremony. He said it stood for something new." She stared at the box then opened it and inside was a beautiful chocker with a locket on it and she opened it and inscribed inside it said 'My heart is yours, You're heart is mine and together we are one- Love Ed' She read it and tears formed in her eyes as Rhea grabbed a tissue "NO! Don't cry you'll smear you're makeup!" Winry asked Al to put it on her as she turned around after he fastened it she turned and admired it in the mirror "Tell Ed forever for me." As Al left he went back and told Ed what she had said and it brought a smile to his lips as he realized today he would make her truly his.

As the music began Edward waited patiently to get a glimpse of his bride to be walking down the aisle and when she appeared it took his breath away. She was so gorgeous and the dress she had picked was beautiful. Her hair was done up on top of her head with little strings of hair falling in the front. He was the luckiest man in the world he thought as she got closer he saw the locket on her neck. Her father handed her over to Edward as Edward stood there gawking like a schoolboy at her.

She got the first glimpse of her groom to be when she began to walk down the aisle. He looked very handsome standing there in his black leather pants and long sleeved maroon dress shirt with a black tie. His hair was down and she preferred it that way because he looked hotter that way. There she thought it he was the hottest guy she had ever laid eyes on and tonight she would be with him as his and he would be hers. She was very nervous about that because before they had had a reason to stop but tonight it was an all the way thing.

Edward's knees were shaking thinking of how he was going to be with her tonight. He just hoped he didn't screw it up in anyway not having that much experience but then again she wasn't that experienced either he just had to remember to be gentle and respectful.

As the preacher performed the ceremony they held hands and their hands were tightening around each other's in anticipation of what the end of the ceremony would bring. As the preacher announced them as man and wife they smiled at each other knowing now there was nothing holding them back. Edward leaned over and kissed his newly beautiful wife and she whispered in his ear "Now Ed?" He smiled slightly at her then kissed her again "Yes now baby."

After the ceremony was the reception so they lead the first dance and when everyone started dancing he grabbed her hand "Let's get out of here for a while." She knew exactly what he meant as she took his hand and threw her bouquet over her head hoping someone caught it. Well Rhea caught it and Al smiled at her as they began to dance again.

"Where are we going Ed?" asked like a giddy school girl.

As he rushed her through the lobby of the hotel next door he turned and smiled "I rented room here." He knew exactly what he wanted and he wasn't waiting till later.
