Chapter 87 - The Big Event
In order for Loki, Hestia, Njord, Ahti, Vellamo, Zeus, Hera and a number of gods to attend, there would be 2 weddings after 1 month - one in Orario and one on the moon. All the gods will attend the one on the moon as well as all their adventuring friends. The wedding in Orario would take place the next day and then there would be the honeymoon.
The month went by very quickly, as everyone was very busy preparing for the biggest wedding ever in Orario and the first ever on the moon. Even Bete got excited about the planning and forgot about the humiliation he suffered for the proposal practice. Tiona and Welf were very quietly conspiring for the wedding 'games', which would happen on the moon wedding night to avoid a major scandal from rumors of the deviant acts leaking to the public in Orario...
The day before the moon wedding, all the participants were sent to the moon to practice and party. The groomsmen and bridesmaids all took part in the practice, as did Zeus who will perform the ceremony and Loki who will walk Ais down the aisle. After arriving on the moon, Tiona and Welf quickly started putting their evil plans into action after arriving on the moon. After being briefed, Hestia was horrified at the entire concept but Loki was quite pleased with the scheme. Hermes, who was already in the planning, had his devilish grin and sparking eyes ready for mischief.
The wedding practice worked out quite well. Bell did not mess up the words and Welf played his best man role quiet well. Ais also did not mess up the words, and Lefiya also handled her maid of honor role admirably. The groomsmen (Finn, Bete, Gareth, Takemikazuchi and Hermes) and bridemaids (Riveria, Tiona, Tione, Lily and Hestia) also learned their jobs including where to take the guests and how to keep the guests under control without magic or threats. After practice, dinner was served and there was much rejoicing. Riveria and Tiona did manage to keep Bete from getting too drunk.
On the wedding day, all the bridesmaids helped Ais get dressed and fix her hair. Bell was all dressed up and ready for his big dsy, while Welf had his biggest happy grin for the occasion. The afternoon ceremony went without any mishaps as Zeus handled the vows while Welf and Leifya helped with the ring exchange. After the vows, Bell lifted the veil and kissed Ais properly for the occasion. Then it was onto the wedding banquet.
The banquet had too many courses to count, and the alcohol was freely flowing. Throughout the banquet, Bell and Ais welcomed and thanked their guests at each table, and performed the required kisses admirably well.
Loki showed some recordings during the banquet. To show how much Riveria went through to enlist Hermes' help with Bell's proposal, she showed the date Riveria had with Hermes. Then the tape of Bell practicing the proposal with Bete and Fin was shown. The entire banquet was roaring with laughter with Bell's nervousness. No one would have thought the world's hero would be so helpless when it came to proposing. Fin and Bete were also quite embarrassed about their appearance in the Ais dresses. Ais though was quite pleased with Bell's practices and wanted her own copy of the recordings.
As the main courses were finished, it was time for the wedding cake cutting and for Welf and Tiona to shine. During the cake cutting, Welf and Tiona got up and started the mischief. The co-conspirators were also at the ready.
Welf "Hi everyone, besides being the best man, I was also selected to be your host for the wedding games, along with the beautiful game hostess Tiona."
Tiona "Yes everyone, let's give a hand to the happy couple Ais and Bell"
With the applause, Bell and Ais looked shocked but did not know what to say.
Welf "Bell and Ais, could you come here and be the good sports you always are and have some fun with us?"
Tiona "Everyone, please give the happy couple some encouragement to come play the wedding games with us"
As the guests clapped, Bete, Riveria, Hestia, Loki, Finn, Gareth, Tione, Lili all came up to Bell and Ais to 'guide' them to a couple chairs in front of the guest tables. The helpless couple knew they are in big trouble, but could not figure out how to escape. Ais thought about Ariel but realized it would not be appropriate, and Bell could not charge argonaut either given the circumstances. Hermes also winked at them and nonchalantly mentioned divinity powers are not restricted on the moon...
Welf "Bell and Ais, for the first game, we would be asking you some questions. Loki-sama and Hestia-sama would be assisting here to make sure you tell us the truth about your loving relationship!"
Tiona "First question, Ais, which part of Bell is the most attractive to you"
Ais "... his hair"
Loki "Lie"
Welf "Come on Ais, you are among friends who want to know!"
Ais "... ... Bell is very handsome"
Loki "Well Bell is very handsome but you need to tell us what is the most attractive"
Blushing Ais "I CANNOT SAY"
Tiona "Come on Ais, share with your friends"
Super-blushing Ais "Bell, help!"
Hestia came up to Bell "Even though we all love my Bell-kun and all know about his heroic feats, Bell's argonaut charging will not be allowed for now"
Bell "Kami-sama..."
Welf "Well Ais, you still need to tell us"
Tiona "Come on Ais, share with us, what is the most attractive part"
Loki "You must tell us, my child"
After more pressure, the defeated Ais finally gave in "His argonaut part"
Welf "Wow..."
Tiona was embarrassed and the crowd did not know what to say.
Welf "Well, now Bell, what is Ais' best and most attractive part and Hestia-sama is going to help us here"
Bell "Ais is perfect. She is all perfect"
Hestia "Bell-kun, you have a better answer"
Red-faced Bell "Kami-sama, have mercy"
Hestia "Bell-kun darling, you wanted to get married, you have a real answer"
Super-embarrassed Bell on his knees "Come on, Kami-Sama"
Hestia "Child, tell us your real answer"
Defeated Bell "Milkers"
Tiona while ROTFLOL "Ais, is Bell still innocent?
Ais "of course"
Loki "answer the real question"
Ais horrified "aaaa..."
Tomato-faced Bell "Not fair!"
Tiona "Tell us the truth"
Ais "... no"
Welf "Bell, when did you lose your innocence?"
Bell "When I met you"
Hestia "Nice try, but tell us the truth"
Bell "i don't remember"
Shocked Ais "You don't remember?"
Bell "Of course I remember!"
Hestia winked "So when was it, lover boy?"
Bell "This is not fair!"
Hestia "When?"
Bell "We had a pure relationship until Finn and Riveria gave us the book of the birds and the bees".
Shocked, everyone demanded Finn and Riveria explain themselves...
