Chapter 32: The Big Day II:
A week later, the wedding for Shadow and Rouge was officially in session at Aquatic Ruin Zone. The event kicked off with the couple entering the area in a limousine, followed by paparazzi, in a similar fashion to Sonic and Amy's wedding. Since Sonic was famous, paparazzi always made sure to film everything interesting that he did, and anyone affiliated with him in any way would also get that kind of attention. Surrounded by crowds of people, Shadow helped Rouge get out of the limo, but as Rouge got out, her large ears picked up a surprised "Ohhhhh!" coming from the crowd, followed by an increase in camera flashes, which calmed down slightly after she completely got out of the limo. She decided to ignore it, as nothing was about to bring her down today.
About an hour later, all their friends were sitting in the seats, with the bridesmaids (each holding a bouquet of dark red roses) and best men in the front rows. The other people from the household were sitting behind the bridesmaids. Sonic was between Tails and Knuckles, trying to keep hold of Sonic Jr., who was dressed up in a baby-sized tuxedo and thrashing about in his father's arms, in an attempt to break free. Sonic accidentally dropped him, and he began crawling out of the row to get to his mother.
"Amy, could you get him?" Sonic groaned, rolling his eyes.
Amy picked him up and handed him back.
After a few more minutes, Shadow and everyone else looked towards the back end of the aisle. Rouge began walking up the aisle, wearing the wedding dress that Amy had let her borrow. Amy watched as she made her way to the altar, and saw that her precious dress had gotten some severe alterations. The bottom half had been shortened until it came only a couple of inches below the hips. A fairly large, round hole was cut right below the top edge in order to expose the middle of the wearer's chest, alongside a more lower-cut neckline with less rounded edges that only increased the amount of cleavage shown. Finally, several vertical cutouts had been made in the sides and back of the top-half, which were filled with translucent white mesh.
What will I tell people who see THAT hanging in my room? Amy thought with a sigh.
Omochao silenced the crowd.
"Today, we are all here to celebrate this wondrous occasion: The wedding for Shadow the Hedgehog, and Rouge the Bat. Now Shadow, do you take Rouge to be your lawfully wedded wife?" He said.
"I do." Shadow nodded.
Omochao turned to Rouge, causing the reflected sunlight from her engagement ring and the diamonds on her dress to bounce off his metallic body and blind the audience.
"Rouge, do you take Shadow to be your lawfully wedded husband?" He asked.
"I do." Rouge replied.
After completing the rest of the marriage oath, Omochao closed his wedding booklet.
"You may now kiss the bride." He said, nodding to Shadow.
Shadow nodded back and proceeded to gently lift the vale covering Rouge's face (this had not been altered, unlike the dress), and lean in close as they sank into a long, deep kiss. Applause ensued, as the newly-wed couple started walking back down the aisle, and wedding guests began throwing flower-petals at them. A photographer took a few pictures of them standing by their wedding cake, and then Shadow began cutting it for everyone. The next five hours were spent dancing, eating and socializing.
"Gee, if these people keep getting married, I'll be rolling in green!" Omochao said to himself as he watched the crowd leave their seats.
Meanwhile, Silver was walking around looking for Blaze (who had completely slimmed down at this point). He finally spotted her and walked over.
"Hey Blaze? Listen, we've been together for over two years, and I've enjoyed it since Day 1. But now I have something to ask you." He said, kneeling down and opening a small case containing a gold ring with a pearl on it, "Blaze the Cat: Will you marry me?"
Blaze grew silent. After 60 seconds of suspense, she finally spoke.
"Yes!" Blaze said, "Yes I will marry you!"
Excited, Silver swept Blaze into his arms and they sank into a kiss.
