Death's POV

Today was an event I did not want to miss. Liesel's wedding. It wasn't a large ceremony and only had around twenty guests to come watch, all of which were friends that they'd met in the past few months. I bought along some of her family, giving her just over thirty guests.

This included Hans and Rosa who came, as well as the rest of the Steiner family. I also collected her mother and brother to watch her marriage to Rudy Steiner.

We all sat at the back, letting Rudy and Liesel feel their presence.

Max was best man, standing tall and proud beside Rudy as they waited for Liesel, who was being led by Alex and three young women behind as bridesmaids. A young girl named Freda, whose father worked for the same company as Rudy and Max, walked down in front proud leaving Rose petals down the aisle.

Then a boy a few years older, stood next to the priest with a pillow of two rings.

I looked between Rudy and Liesel and their family, to watch their faces. Rosa and Hans were proud of them as they all were. Rosa even cried and wished she could be there for her.

Liesel heart raced feeling the presence of her family and saw her Papa's eyes twinkle and as she stared back, he winked and smiled.

Her grin stayed and she watched her mother and brother. Her brother smiled a toothless grin that warmed her heart, while her mother cried tears, which pricked Liesel's brown eyes of happiness.

Rudy was there waiting for that kiss. He was turned to watch her and took a glance behind her to see his siblings and her mother. His heart jumped to see them in the back of his head, but his heart melted at the sight of Liesel's beauty.

"You've got this Rudy." Max murmured to him.

When Liesel made it to the end Alex whispered to the two, "I'm proud of you two." And he smiled taking his seat just off the pew.

Liesel and Rudy turned face-to-face and obeyed the priest as he said, "You may join hands." The two were smiling like two children trying to contain themself of a big surprise about to be revealed.

"I, Rudolph Steiner take you Liesel Meminger, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part." Rudy said.

"I, Liesel Meminger take you Rudolph Steiner, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part." She repeated from her pained throat.

"Do you Rudolph Steiner; take Liesel Meminger to be your lawfully wedded wife?" He asked the same with Rudy.

"I do." He grinned.

"And Do you Liesel Meminger; take Rudolph Steiner to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The priest asked Liesel.

"I do." She smiled.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride."

This bit made Rudy most happy. He put his arms around her waist and tilted his head to the side to lean in for his kiss. Liesel rested her arms on his shoulders and kissed him back smiling against it.

Everyone was clapping and they pulled away. Liesel was crying and Max hugged her tightly.

She felt Hans give her a hug too, and she could almost feel his cool arms around her, which were both comforting and haunting. It was the one time that Liesel longed for her brother the most. She felt the need for him to hug and tickle him making him grin, the way he used to. She really did miss him. She felt lucky to have Max, knowing she'd always need a brother.
