Nagisa looked in the mirror, making sure that every bit of his outfit wasn't a mess. He brushed a strand of hair back and straightened his tie.
There cane a loud knock, snapping Nagisa out of his thoughts. "Come in." The door opened, and in walked a red haired man. "So, how goes it with the groom?" "Not so bad, thanks for asking, Karma."
Karma raised an eyebrow. "You not nervous?"
Nagisa sighed. "Honestly, yeah. I am. I mean, I'm getting married to the girl of my dreams."
"Hey now, don't drop that mushy stuff on me, pal."
Nagisa sat down in a chair. "Is this how you felt when getting married to Manami?"
Karma chuckled. "You were there, weren't you? I think you know the answer already."
Karma fell back into a chair as well. "But if you must know, yeah. I did. But do you know how I got over it?" Nagisa looked at his friend, obviously wanting to know the answer.
"I just ignored everyone around us. All I could see was Manami and I, alone together, feeling the biggest happiness in the world."
Nagisa thought about Karma's words, and decided to do the same. "You know what, I'm going to do that. Today will be the day me and Kayano get married. Thanks Karma."
"Just fulfilling my role as the best man."
. . .
"You look absolutely beautiful!", squealed Kataoka, as Yukiko and Manami did Kayano's makeup.
They turned the chair around, making Kayano see her face in the mirror.
She had emerald eyeshadow, along with a light lipgloss, while the tips of her hair was slightly curled.
Hinata whistled. "Nagisa sure hit the jackpot." Rio grinned. "That isn't all what he's gonna hit."
Kayano blushed at all the compliments.
"So, how are you feeling?", asked Yukiko. "Honestly, whatever you call the combination of nervous and excited." Manami placed her hand on her friend's shoulder. "If I've learnt anything from me and Karma's wedding, we were both nervous wrecks. I bet Nagisa is feeling the same way as you are right now."
"Yeah! Only way you can overcome nervousness is if your partner is feeling the same way, right?", said Rio. Kayano took a deep breath and smiled.
"Thanks guys." She stood up and walked to the door.
"Let's go get married."
. . .
The music started to play, and everyone rose from their seats. Nagisa felt a drop of sweat go down his head, as his beautiful wife to be walked down the aisle. "It will be okay, kid", said Karasuma, who was the marriage officiant. Nagisa nodded, and stood straight once Kayano was in front of him.
The people took their seats, and the ceremony began.
"We gather here today, to celebrate the happiest day of these two people's lives. They have come a long way, from being friends, to having a distance between each other for some of their adult years, to finally reuniting and making this day possible. You may now say your vows."
Nagisa took out his flashcards. "Kayano, it will come as no surprise that I am dense." The audience and Kayano let out light laughter.
"But before all it this, we were best friends. You changed my hair, and accepted every part of meand made me happy. I could tell from there that any man would be lucky to have you as a wife. Little did I know that man would be me. Now, I will work my hardest to repay you with the same happiness you made me feel every single day if my life."
Kayano took out her vows next. "Nagisa, since we met, all I saw us as were friends, until that day you kissed me. Since then, something awoke within me. That was love. Love for you. When you asked me out, I felt a feeling that deserved a name better than 'happiness', then when you proposed, a feeling better than that one. I love you, and marrying you is more than a huge honor."
Once the couple were done with their vows, the real part could begin. Sugino walked up to the alter with their rings.
"Do you, Nagisa Shiota, take Kayano Kaede as your lawfully wedded wife, whom you will cherish, through sickness and through health, till death do you part?"
"I do", said Nagisa, as he placed the ring on Kayano's finger.
"And you, Kayano Kaede, do you take Nagisa Shiota as your lawfully wedded husband, whom you will cherish, through sickness and through health, till death do you part?"
"I do", said Kayano, as she placed a ring on Nagisa's finger.
"Then I pronounce Mr and Mrs Shiota, husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride."
The couple lunged at each other and kissed deeply, letting out all their pent up love for one another as the audience applauded for them.
After separating from their kiss, Nagisa rested his head against his new wife's. "You're finally mine", he whispered, but Kayano heard it, and smiled brightly.
"To the reservation!", exclaimed Karma, pointing out like the captain of ship spotting an island.
As the other guests went to said reservation, Nagisa grabbed Kayano's hand and pulled her away from the altar, following their friends and family.
