Chapter 4: The Big Day

Bulma stood in front of the the full length mirror in her bedroom looking over herself one last time before heading out. They agreed to have the wedding at their house because it was big enough. Bulma didn't want a big wedding, just close friends and family. Of coarse 18 and Chi-Chi were her bride's maids, Chi-Chi kept having her dress alter, because she was getting close to the end of her second pregnancy.

Bulma closed her eyes to clear her head when she heard the door open and close. She turned to see it was just her dad, smiling at her. "Ready pumpkin?"

Nodding her head and putting on a smile. "Yes, dad." She took her father's hand and walked out of the room. As they reached the double glass doors that lead to the garden, Bulma could hear voices coming from the other side. Many she recognized, like Goku's laugh, this made her smile. 18 and Chi-Chi stood there waiting for them so they could begin. The music began and 18 and Chi-Chi walked out. Then all eyes turned back to the doors as the opened for Bulma and her dad. As Bulma walked out she could hear some people gasp, but her eyes were only focused on Vegeta, who stood at the end like a statue. She looked to Vegeta's right to see Tarble standing there the same way as his older brother. Bulma smiled thinking back to the conversation they had a week ago. She had suggested to have Goku stand up with him, but Vegeta just made the comment, "Yeah and the idiot would dig through his pockets to find your ring and pull out a doughnut or something." Bulma smiled again as they arrived at the alter.

"Who gives this woman to this man?"

Bulma turned and smiled at her dad. Tearfully, "Her mother and I do." Bulma gave her father a kiss on the cheek and then took Vegeta's hand. She smiled right before they turned to the Justice of the Peace.

The man took at deep breath, "Today we bring together two loves." Looking at Vegeta. "Vegeta Ouji the second." Turning to Bulma. "And Bulma Rochel Briefs in marriage. If anyone has a reason for these two not to be wed speak now or forever hold your peace."

Goku could be heard whispering to Krillin. "Or face Bulma's wrath."

Vegeta's grandma whispered to Grey, "That man doesn't realize how forever this is."

After a moment of silence the Justice of the Peace continued, looking at Vegeta. "Vegeta...do you take this woman to be your wedded wife, to love, honor and cherish as long as you both shall live?"

It seemed like everyone was holding their breath, even Vegeta's family. "Forever and ever." He winked at Bulma, making her blush.

Turning to Bulma. "Bulma...do you take this man to be your wedded husband, to love, honor and cherish as long as you both shall live?"

"I do and then some."

The man nodded. "Before we get to the rings, the bride and groom would like to share their vows with you all." Looking at Vegeta. "Go ahead."

Vegeta turned at grabbed a hold of Bulma's other hand and looked straight into her eyes. "Bulma, I'm not a man to share my emotions or to even talk for that matter, but for you I would do anything. You are my world and I will keep you safe no matter what. I've waited a very long time for you and I have no plans of ever letting you go."

Vegeta's grandma, "No kidding."

"Grandma, be quiet." Grey whispered.

Now all eyes were on Bulma, some that rarely shut up, had her words stuck. "Vegeta...I...I love you and always will. I never honestly thought I would find the right man for me, but here you are. I have no plans on ever letting you go either. And as everyone that knows me will agree. I'm a girl that gets what she wants and is very emotion." Starts crying. "If you can deal with that, we'll be good."

They both turned back to the Justice of the Peace. "The rings please." Tarble grabbed the ring he held and gave it to Vegeta and 18 did the same. Even though it was much more fun watching 18 grab it out of the corner of the top of her dress. "Turn to face one another again. Vegeta repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed."

"With this ring I thee wed." Vegeta slid the ring on Bulma's finger.

"Now Bulma, repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed."

"With this ring I thee wed." She slid it on Vegeta's finger.

"By the power invested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride." Bulma had expected Vegeta to land a rough quick kiss on her but he took her by surprise. He came closer rather quickly but ran both hands on the sides of her neck and locked them behind her head and leaned in and kissed her slowly and full of passion. Everyone clapped and Goku started to cheer.

At the reception, which was also in the garden dinner was nice and quiet. When it came time of the toasts, Tarble couldn't be fast enough to get his done. "As some of you know, my brother has been alone for quiet some time. I figured it was because he was unable to preform." People laughed. Vegeta growled. "But I'm glad to see I was wrong. My nephew is enough proof of that." More laughter. "Then I thought, well maybe Vegeta just doesn't know what a beautiful woman looks like. Again, I was wrong." Looking at Bulma. "You're very beautiful and smart and I give you all the credit in the world for putting up with my big brother." Lifting his glass. "To Bulma and Vegeta!"

"To Bulma and Vegeta!"

It was 18's turn, as she stood you could tell she already had too much to drink. "Bulma!" She giggled. "Here's to Vegeta! You know I love ya B and always will." Turning to the crowd. "I'm was the one who's shoulder was cried on, the motivation to get her dating and pretty much everything else. I guess you could say I was her second mother!" She looked back at the couple. "Again here's to you Vegeta! Even though I didn't mind all the years of emotions...you get to take over that part!" She raised her glass and nearly spilled it. "To Bulma and Vegeta!"

"To Bulma and Vegeta!"

After the reception came to an end, everyone left. Vegeta's family caught a flight out and Bulma's parents offered to take Trunks. Bulma was in their room trying to get her dress undone but was having no luck. "Let me do that my lovely wife." Vegeta pushed her hair aside and kissed her neck and unzipped it. "You look amazing tonight."
"Thank you." Bulma said quietly biting her lip. "It was perfect."

"Was? And here the night is still young I thought we would have a bit more fun." Vegeta pulled her dress down and turned her around to look at. "Absolutely amazing." He came in a kissed her again. "Well my wife, should we break in our room as a married couple?" Bulma giggled as Vegeta picked her up and took her to the bed. "I promise you. This will only hurt a little." Vegeta leaned down to her neck and Bulma gasped.
