the time was drawing close. my heart won't stop panicking. glancing over at dad, he seemed calmer than ever. maybe it was just me that was panicking then.

"everyone is waiting. it's time now" dad spoke softly.

i gulped. my palms began to sweat. dad's arm wrapped around my left arm. the doors to the main chapel were beginning to open. i could feel my feet sweat up as well.

god dammit! now my feet are gonna stink!

finally, the doors opened, revealing the purple iridescent lighting down on the church. i was in awe. dad and joseph were doing all of this while i was out trying to find a way to escape. it looks beautiful in here.

but at the end of that aisle, was a tall brooding man who stood

but at the end of that aisle, was a tall brooding man who stood. my heart stopped. a sudden ringing began to sound off within my ears. everyone began to rise. soft music began playing, echoing the beauty of the piano all over the acoustics of the church walls.

my father took the first step, forcing my foot to make the other. this is it. the moment was finally here. we walked together in silence, feeling the eyes of the entire room follow me as i walked my way to my future husband.

we were halfway there.i'm not ready. i can't look him in the eyes yet. i lowered my gaze to follow the footsteps i was making. the intensity of the room was getting thicker and thicker.

damn. my fight or flight response is beginning to kick in. i have to push through. he's a human being. we all are. which means he's capable of feeling as much emotion as i do. there's no way he's some unemotional robot that can't even manage to smile.

right? of course not! he's just not used to expressing himself i'm sure.

my father's feet had come to a stop. i flinched. my head turned towards dad, seeing a tear rushing down his cheek with a smile on his face. he turned to him and nodded. dad then looked back at me and mouthed, "you'll be alright"

i want to cry. i want to sob. i want to scream at the top of my lungs and run out of this wedding ceremony. but seeing everyone here for me and for the goodness of the kingdom and the joestars--this was necessary.

a hand appeared in my peripheral line of vision. i turned my head, finally seeing the arm fully extended directly at me. i have to do this. i have to shove my fears deep down and face this man at last. i took a deep breath in and exhaled softly before taking his hand.

i made the first contact, slipping my hand into his. he took my hand into him gently as he guided me to the first step of the stairs.

"at last. we are here," the wedding officiant's voice rumbled through the chapel.

"welcome everyone and thank you each and every one of you for being here on this happiest night. we've gathered here for the humble beginnings of jotaro joestar, and ruby rose. let their marriage be an example of good health and infinite prosperity. now then,"
