Will stood at the alter, nervously bouncing up and down on his toes. Lou Ellen, Cecil, and one of Will's brothers stood at the alter with him. Music started playing and people started walking down the isle. Will noticed Reyna holding back her laughter, probably at Will's hair since Lou Ellen never got the chance to fix it.

Outside the doors in which the bride's maids were currently walking into, Nico stood nervously, waiting for his turn to walk down the isle.

"Last chance to back out," a deep voice from beside Nico said.

"Dad," Hazel sighed, "don't tell him that. What if he actually leaves?"

Nico chuckled. "I'm not going anywhere."

"Good," Hazel replied. "See you at the alter." She smiled then walked through the doors.

"Are you nervous?"

Nico looked up at his father and nodded. "Yeah, a little."

Hades gave his son a surprisingly warm smile.

"You have every right to be." He places his hand on Nico's shoulder, "I just want you to know I'm very proud of you."

Nico smiled. "Thanks dad." He turned to face the doors and took a deep breath. "Looks like it's my turn." The doors opened and Nico began walking own the isle with his father right beside him.

As Nico was walking down the isle, everyone stood from their seats. Jason gave Nico a thumbs up.

Hades sighed and looked disapprovingly at Will. "The boy couldn't even brush his hair?" he whispered to himself. Nico almost started laughing, but he got so distracted by Will smiling down at him. He smiled back.

As Nico and Hades reached the end of the isle, Hades took a seat in the first row of benches and Nico took Will's hand and stood next to him at the alter.

The priest smiled at the two of them and began the ceremony.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today…"

Nico's heart was racing. He felt more nervous than he had on his first date with Will.

"Before we continue, are there any objections as to why these two should not be wed?"

Oh gods, Nico silently pleaded, let there be no objections!

Suddenly, there was a loud bang as someone's hands slammed against the seat in front of them. Will and Nico turned around to see Percy standing up.

"NOT YOUR TYPE!?" he yelled.

Jason, who was sitting next to Percy, forcefully pushed the top of Percy's head down, forcing him to sit.

"No objections!" he yelled, "Carry on!"

Nico resisted the urge to slap his hand against his face. Really, though, he should have seen this coming.

Will chuckled and gave Nico a smile as if to say 'Hey, it could have been worse.'

The wedding carried on, uneventful. Nico and Will said their vows and kissed each other as everyone cheered.

As Nico and Will were walking back down the isle together, Annabeth gave Nico a high five. Will held tightly to Nico's hand.

"And to think," Will said, "we haven't gotten to the reception yet and already Percy was causing trouble."

Nico laughed. "I believe you owe me ten dollars, Solace."

Will kissed Nico's cheek, his smile growing wider. "That's your last name now, too."
