Excitement was in the air, the magic of love spreading throughout the atmosphere on the Planet Mandalore.

With Death Watch defeated, Mandalore was once again a peaceful world. And to make things better, the people were so excited because today their ruler, Duchess Satine Kryze was getting married to her long-time love Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.

In a matter of hours, Satine would be Mrs. Obi-Wan Kenobi. And Obi-Wan would become the duke of Mandalore.

Anakin patted Obi-Wan on the back as he looked out the window of all the Mandalorian citizens and guests arriving by the minute for the royal wedding.

"All of Mandalore must be out there." Obi-Wan gasped.

Obi-Wan was so nervous, not just because he never imagined that he of all people would be getting married. Even after the Code changed, Obi-Wan didn't think he would be able to adjust to the idea of being able to get married and have a family of his own. He'd helped Anakin look after Gabby many times since she was a baby, so he knew how to take care of at least one kid, a very active one at that who'd scared away a lot of babysitters when she was much smaller. And even after his former Padawan grew up, he still babysat him sometimes during the Clone War.

"Well, this is the first royal Mandalore wedding in practically a century." Anakin smiled. "You're gonna do great out there, Master. Especially 'cause you got the best best man."

Peppermint licked her rider.

"Satine's a very lucky lady." Peppermint said.

Obi-Wan looked at Peppermint. She wore a very pretty Mandalore blue saddle with little red and white mint candy-like decorations embroidered into it, and her mane was tied in a beautiful updo with a crown of blue flowers atop her head.

"My, don't you look lovely, Peppermint?" Obi-Wan said more as a statement than a question.

"Thanks. It's the girls who deserve credit for this." Peppermint said, motioning to a special little box she wore around her neck. "As your ring pony, I take my job seriously too."

Peppermint played a part in helping Obi-Wan find the courage to profess his love for Satine and pursue the relationship he always wanted with her before deciding. So, it only made sense that Obi-Wan would choose her to carry the wedding rings.

"We all worked really hard to make this a special day for you Obi-Wan." said Anakin. "Tonight, you and your duchess will be the happiest couple in the galaxy. Well, besides Padme and me, of course."

Satine still couldn't believe the astounding wedding dress that was made just for her.

A sparkling illusion neckline gown with a lovely outline to compliment Satine's silhouette, and a lovely blue ombre at the bottom of the skirt that looked as though someone airbrushed it, and it looked amazing.

"It's even more perfect than I ever dreamed it would be." Satine sighed, looking at her beautiful dress.

"Roya never ceases to amaze." Padme said.

"Do you think she can design armor too?" Bo-Katan said.

Bo might not have been a fan of dresses, but even she had to admit she was impressed by Princess Roya's work.

"Maybe." said Padme. "Boba's dating her. We can get in touch anytime."

"I always wished of this day ever since that first time I spent with Obi-Wan." Satine sighed dreamily. "And now it's finally coming true."

"So, are you and Obi-Wan thinking of having kids?"

"Obi-Wan sounded particularly nervous about that." the duchess chuckled.

"After looking after Anakin and then our kids, I doubt any number of kids would be that big a challenge for him."

Later, Obi-Wan was getting the final touches done on his outfit.

His outfit was made a lovely sandy brown like his traditional Jedi garments with a royal blue sash to honor the fact that he was becoming part of Mandalore's royal family. He added a violet flower to his sash to add to the look.

"Perfect." Obi-Wan smiled.

Obi-Wan felt so nervous before. But now, he was feeling very excited. He was about to marry the woman of his dreams. Satine was his perfect angel the way Padme was Anakin's and Caroline was Carmine's. He could practically see his future with her now. Tonight, a perfect wedding with all their friends and family to celebrate their love, and then they would have children of their own together. After all his experience babysitting Gabby, then Boba, and later Lamenta and the twins Luke and Leia, he felt ready for any number of kids.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Obi-Wan, the coach is waiting." Qui-Gon said from the other side.

"I'll be right out. Just tell everyone to start boarding." Obi-Wan said.

But a few minutes later, Obi-Wan heard another knock.

"I'll be there in a moment." Obi-Wan said, finally ready. "I'm most certainly not going to be late for my own wedding."

Obi-Wan opened the door, but then was met with a bit of a shock and he was grabbed, shoved and pinned to the ground.

Meanwhile, the wedding party was waiting at the carriage that would take them to the cathedral where the wedding would occur.

Carmine looked at his watch.

"Where is he?" Carmine said.

"You don't think he got cold feet, do you?" asked Boba.

"Obi-Wan? Cold feet?" said Peppermint. "Doubt it."

"Apologies for the long wait." said a familiar voice.

And the wedding party spotted Obi-Wan all dressed up in royal blue.

"Looking good, Master." Anakin said.

"Yes, I know." said Obi-Wan. "Shall we head to the ceremony?"

Obi-Wan boarded the carriage, but got licked by Peppermint.

"A good luck lick." Peppermint smiled.

"Ugh! Disgusting!" Obi-Wan cringed, wiping the horse saliva from him cheek.

Peppermint suddenly looked confused. Obi-Wan didn't usually react that way when she licked him. He typically responded by petting her muzzle with a chuckle.

And so, the carriage began heading all the way to the royal wedding.

"Exciting day, huh, Master?" smiled Carmine.

But then, Obi-Wan looked confused.

"Since when do you wear glasses? Uh... Anakin?" Obi-Wan asked.

Now Carmine looked confused.

"Since I was a kid?" said Carmine. "And I'm Carmine, remember? Anakin's next to you."

"Are you okay, Obi-Wan?" Anakin asked.

"Uh... yes, yes. I'm fine." said Obi-Wan. "I must be more nervous about the wedding than I initially thought."

Meanwhile, in a prison somewhere on Mandalore...

Death Watch guards pulled a cloth bag from Obi-Wan's head as they pushed him into a cell and locked him in.

Obi-Wan grunted as he hit the hard floor, the door beeping as it slid closed.

One of the guards activated his communicator and contacted someone on the other end.

"The prisoner is secure, Sir. Your wedding can go on as planned."

"Excellent. Ensure the problem is kept under wing until the very last 'I do'." said the imposter.

Obi-Wan gasped when he grasped what was happening. Someone was going to pose as him at the wedding and marry Satine in order to take over Mandalore by becoming its legal ruler, no doubt planning to kill her once they were married.

"You do realize it is impolite to inconvenience the groom before his wedding, don't you?" Obi-Wan said. "Someone will realize that is an imposter sooner than you believe."

"Shut up, Jedi scum." said the guard.

"But it is true. Princess Lamenta can literally see the truth. She will realize something is wrong very soon, and you will be severely punished."

And before the guard could say anything else, Obi-Wan Force pushed the door right down and ran down the hall, searching for a communicator he could use to call for help. Unfortunately, another guard spotted him escaping and called for backup.

Many guards came to Obi-Wan, and began fighting as many as he could. But more kept coming and attempted to hold him down and stop him by putting a shock collar on him, and activating it when he fought.

"Looks like this one needs a more secure cell." the guard holding Obi-Wan said.

"Release me now, and I will see that my wife takes it easy on you." Obi-Wan demanded. "AGH!"

Obi-Wan screamed in agony as he was shocked again.

"One more word out of you, and you'll have more than just cold feet, Kenobi."

The guards started to drag Obi-Wan down the hall, but Obi-Wan continued to struggle, no matter how much the guards shocked him. Satine was in danger, and on what was supposed to be the happiest day of her and Obi-Wan's lives, no less.

But... Obi-Wan remembered he'd saved Satine many times before, even when he was a teenager! He'd fought many dangerous foes in the Clone War, survived the Battle of Geonosis, defeated Darth Maul, and survived more than a few ship crashes with Anakin. Why should this scenario be an exception?

Thus, Obi-Wan had a declaration:

"I will not be stopped from attending... my own wedding!"
