Raven awakened Terra on October 31st, early in the morning. "Wake up."
Terra woke up blearily. "Huh?"
"It's time for you to wake up."
Terra sat up and pushed her hair from her face.
"Go shower and the girls and I will help you get ready."
Terra slid out of bed and staggered out to the bathroom.
Raven went about getting things ready as the rest of the women came in to help her.

Aqualad came awake suddenly. Because he felt he was in danger. And he was. From his groomsmen... "I hate all of you."
Changeling snickered. "Just get up. We've got to get dressed."
"No pranks? No misdeeds?"
"Misdeeds? How old are you?"
"Changeling!"
"Calm down. I got this. Just go shower."
Aqualad shot up and stalked out bitterly.
Changeling giggled before stopping. "Alright! Let's go!"

Terra was dressed in all white at the church. Her dress was very delicate and traditional but she loved the off-cream confection. Raven was helping her into her low heels at the moment. Her face was already made up with blues and browns and reds.
Her bridesmaids were all dressed in a powder blue and the flower girls were dressed in a pearly pink.
The Wedding Chorus played to let them know that they should begin.
Terra walked down the aisle on Alan Wellington (Green Lantern)'s arm. He walked her down the aisle to the entrance of the church and deposited her to the priest and Aqualad, who he gave her arm.
Raven put an earring in Terra's left ear then Changeling put its mate into her right.
The priest blessed the marrying couple and gave each a lit candle to hold throughout the ceremony. The priest then said two brief prayers for the couple, then blessed the rings that were then placed on the couple's right hands.
The priest said another prayer.
The priest led the couple into the center of the church, where they stood on a piece of new, rose-coloured fabric. The bride and groom each publicly professed that they were marrying of their own free will and that they had not promised themselves to any other.
After an ektenia and several longer prayers, the priest placed crowns on the heads of the bride and the groom. Changeling and Raven held the crowns for them. Then there were readings from the Epistle and Gospel, ektenias, brief prayers and the sharing of a "common cup" of wine by Aqualad and Terra.
The priest wrapped his epitrachelion around the joined hands of Aqualad and Terra then led them and Changeling and Raven three times around an analogion, where the Gospel book had been placed.
The priest said more benedictions for the bride and groom before dismissing them.
The entire congregation left to go to a venue, where Aqualad and Terra were presented with bread and salt. The ceremony lasted 15 to 30 minutes and during this time, rings were exchanged and the couple was pronounced husband and wife.
Tara Markov was now Tara Shayeris (Aqualad was like Diana "Prince", Princess of Themyscira [Wonder Woman] and didn't have a true surname so he took on the name of his homeland).
Both new husband and wife were excited as their parents offered the married couple two crystal glasses, which they were asked to break.
The married couple released balloons. The bride also released another balloon with her maiden name written on it.
Now they were officially married and could finally party.
