So I decided to re-watch the first movie to get some more inspiration for the wedding and how fluffy I want it to be and I never realized how amazing the soundtrack for both the first and second movies really were until I heard the first one and looked it up on Youtube, lol. The "Romantic Flight" one is probably one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard and have made it a goal to learn to play it now for myself.
I'd also like to state that I didn't double check to see how things went down and if they are equivalent to the "viking traditions" so please bare with me. I just imagined in the way it would be in modern times, somewhat. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!
Hiccup tilted his head back and forth trying to balance the newly placed helmet on his head. It was a bit too big and the horns at the top were slightly too large for his own good, but he had to wear it. The helmet was shiny and glossy with a gold band wrapped around the middle of it. The two large horns of ivory the rested on the top of the helmet also had gold bands around the base of it where it connected to the helmet. Hiccup looked down at the new armor and clothing he was given along with his helmet to match.
The armor didn't have any extra compartments for him to place his pencil or his papers, no springs or coils, no fins, no wings. It had nothing to add to it, just a plain sheet of shiny metal trimmed with gold that was placed on his chest and tightened at the sides where the strings were to keep hold on his smaller body. The arm and shoulder pads were next. They seemed to be made of the same shiny metal with the gold trimmings, but there was fur on the inside that you could slightly see once worn. Hiccup strapped even more armor onto his side and around his waist which, if he were in battle, would protect the sides of his thighs. He wore large breeches that were tucked into his boots, or well boot. Where his peg leg was, they had strapped down the rest of his breeches so that it didn't look so large on his leg.
The thing with this clothing was that it was past down from generation to generation and well, Stoick being the man who used it before Hiccup, it was quite large. As per Astrid's request, she wanted Hiccup to use Stoick's marital clothing to prove to Hiccup that Stoick may have been a big man, but he could fill his shoes; although that idea wasn't playing out too well with Hiccup.
There was a knock at his door and his mother walked in. She walked in staring at Hiccup with a warm smile and a tear in her eye. "The last time I saw you, you were only a babe. Now look. You're a man." The tear trickled down her face. She wiped it away and walked towards Hiccup. Her son who once was so small and fragile she feared he wouldn't make it, was now a man who became one of the bravest, one of the strongest, and one of the smartest vikings in all of Berk. It was all so much to take in at once. The tears she had tried to hold back for so long came falling. She quickly grabbed Hiccup before he could say anything and pulled him into a tight hug. Even now, it was still hard for her to believe that she had been reunited with her son, and her husband to be a happy family of 3, even if it were for a short while.
Hiccup hugged her back and closed his eyes. He too was still finding it hard to believe that he had found his mother and had seen his father and mother rekindle their relationship right in front of him. Just then, there was a knock on the front door and you can hear Gobber calling out to them. "Ye' better get up and hurry now. Everyone's already in place!"
Hiccup and Valka released from the hug and exchanged smiles at each other that already said more than words could. "You better on hurry. I'll be there in a little." Valka said to Hiccup, who walked out feeling a lot more confident then he expected. He knew his mom just wanted a small amount of time alone to mourn Stoick again. Seeing his marital clothing probably just made it worse.
As she heard the front door open and close, Valka looked around Hiccup's room and found the toy dragon where she had stitched his name on the side. She smiled at it as a tear rolled down her cheek again. "Oh Stoick .. " she said quietly to herself. She wiped away the two tears that fell and sniffled. She walked out the door and closed it quietly, heading towards the wedding ceremony.
Don't worry, I'm working on the next chapter right now (:
