Every Reason I Loved Her- FairyTail edition

Chapter 24: I Do

Lucy is simple, she loves everything and she's got this amazing ability to make anyone feel special. She just makes you smile the second you see her and she makes the world brighter.

The music starts, it's not the wedding march though. I know this one. It's by Ed Sheeran, Perfect. Juvia and my cousin walk out first and then Lucy steps out from behind the big oak tree and everything stops. My heart, my fidgeting hands, time. Everything is frozen to look at her. Her dress is a light pink, blush. It comes just above her knees and it's go two sets of sleeves, one over her shoulders and one draping along the side, her hair is half pulled back, I saw the braid before and the flower crown and the shoes but as time restarts and I can hear my heart in my chest... she looks like something from a fairytale.

"You okay, man?" Grey whispers as my cousin trails in front of her in a little flower girl dress throwing petals all around her. Flowers fall from the tree above as if they can't help but celebrate Lucy

"Natsu." Grey nudges me again but I can't stop staring at Lucy.

"Yeah..." I breath, I don't want to speak too loudly, if this is a dream, I don't want to see reality ever again.

"that's yours, man." Grey says. I can hear the smile in his voice.

"Yeah..." I breath again.

Juvia and my cousin stand to the side. My grandma and and a few cousins and nieces and nephews stand all around. I glance up at the movement in the tree Lucy just walked under and see my other little cousin, Aiden, sitting on a branch with another basket of petals he must have been throwing the petals from above. He looks a bit upset but that's probably because he was convinced Lucy was going to break up with me for him.

"Hi." Lucy smiles as she joins me in front of my grandma's neighbor and ordained minister, Henry. Juvia takes Lucy's Bouquet from her and I take her hands.

"We are gathered here today to witness a union that is long overdue." Henry begins sparking a few chuckles from our family and friends.

"You're telling me." My grandma adds. Lucy giggles softly but her eyes stay on mine.

"We've all watched their love blossom from shared laughs to shared memories and through disagreements and the kind of fairytale love we only see in Disney movies." Another laugh from the crows. Henry looks pretty proud of himself right now.

"and finally, they have decided we can stop holding a breath as they join as one in holy matrimony."

I can hear my grandma start to sniffle and a few other hiccupped sobs. Lucy stand before me with her eyes shining and her smile bright.

"Who gives this woman to this man." Henry asks looking out at the gathering expectantly. Panic surges through me because Lucy has no family here, no one to give her away.

"I do." Juvia steps forward

"I do." Grey walks around me and pats Lucy on the shoulder. And clasps mine. "take care of her, Natsu." Taps my chin with his knuckle "or we're gonna have a problem." He smiles at me and joins me back at my side. Juvia stands proudly beside Lucy but not without gesturing 'I'm watching you' to me.

"And who gives this man to this woman?" Henry goes on.

"Take him!" A few of my cousins and most loudly, my grandma, says.

Lucy laughs. "they're excited to pass you off."

"I think they knew you were the one for me before I did." I admit "but they're smart, I shouldn't be surprised."

"The love birds have decided to write their own vows." Henry is officially having too much fun with this.

Lucy pulls her paper out of her pocket. I didn't know wedding dresses had pockets but since my grandma made it, it was probably a special thing she asked.
