I stood at the altar, waiting anxiously for the doors to open, but in the back of my head I kept thinking what if it doesn't? She was already freaking out, what's to stop her from just running away completely. I know the others said she wouldn't do that but how do they know for sure? Her emotions almost stopped her from dating me in the first place. I looked up in the crowd to see my mum smiling at me and I tried my best to return it.

They began playing the wedding march and I let one of my cousins little girl be the flower girl as she lightly threw red and white rose petals along the isle with a big smile on her face. She was very adorable with her curls and white little dress. The doors opened to allow Yaten and Taiki to come in ,they both had smiles on their faces as they walked down the isle. Their smiles looked genuine and when they met my gaze ,they smiled wider. I took a deep breath and smiled believing that meant everything was okay.

They stopped at the end of the isle side by side and continued smiling at me before they looked behind them towards the doors. I followed their gaze and a minute later in slow steps, Seiya appeared and the sight of her took my breath away. She looked breathtaking in an ivory white dress with diamond gems adorned all over it. They sparkled when they hit the lights a certain way. Her face was covered by a veil with the same diamond gems on it as the dress , and in her hands were a bouquet of red and white roses. I couldn't take my eyes off her as she made her way in between Yaten and Taiki. I smiled brightly and held my hand out in invitation as she handed her bouquet to Yaten. Then the two of them placed their hands over hers and laid her hand in my own. She took the last few steps to the altar and took her place beside me. We both turned towards the minister as he began speaking the ceremonial words and listened as he talked.

"The two will now exchange vows that they have written." The minister replied looking towards us and I spoke up.

"I would like to go first. Knowing her way with words, hers will blow mine away." I say and everyone chuckled and Seiya lightly squeezed my hands. I stared at her and took a deep breath before I spoke.

"I used to believe there was no such thing as love at first sight but now I know for sure that it's real. I've been in love with you from the moment I saw you. I don't go a day with out thinking about you. Just thinking about you puts a smile on my face. I know that If I'm having a bad day and just hearing your voice will make everything better. You bring out the best in me and I know in my heart and soul that we were meant to be. I'm so glad to have met you and to know what an amazing person you are. I love you so ,so much. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you and I know that whatever the future holds as long as I'm with you I know that it'll be great." I finished and I could hear sniffles from the crowd.
I'll admit even I wanted to cry at some of the stuff I said myself. I meant every word of it.

"Wow that was so beautiful, and you say you don't have a way with words." Seiya replied and some people laughed as I smiled at her.

"When we first meant I didn't think I was capable of love. That it was something made for me. And then I met you and you turned my world upside down...."  she said with a small laugh that brought a smile to my face. "There is no one like you on this earth , and I love everything that you are and stand for." She said with some deep emotion in her voice that made my throat tighten and my eyes burn with unshed tears. "Your courage and compassion  inspires me to be my complete self, flaws and all. There's no one in this life or the next that I picture my life with and I'll always love you forever and always because without you I feel like a part of myself is missing if you're not around." She finished and I took a deep breath and blink my eyes hoping to stop the tears I felt coming.

"Now you may exchange rings." The minister said and Nina then stepped forward with Charlie in a little tux with a small pillow on his back that had two rings. I smiled as I took the rose shaped diamond ring and slid it on Seiya's finger. She then took a ring with stars trailing behind a big star in the form of a shooting star and slid it on my left ring finger.

"Do you Ruby take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife, through sickness and health,rich or poor for as long as you both shall live?" He asked me

"I do."

"Do you Seiya take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife, through sickness and in health, rich or poor, for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." I heard her voice ring out clear and precise which brought a wide smile to my lips.

"I now pronounce you wife and wife . You may now kiss." He said with a smile and I grinned to happy for words as I lifted the veil to see Seiya's beautiful face beaming at me with a wide smile of pure happiness and her eyes Shining with love. I leaned in and pressed my lips to hers in a slow passionate kiss which she returned with passion, and the crowd burst into applause.
