Another Time, Another Place

Wedding Part 2

Lexa, Luna and Indra were first to arrive, they were greeted by the natblidas. Aden would escort Lexa down the aisle and the rest of the natblidas, were to walk down first, scattering flower petals.

"Heda, you look beautiful, it's my honour to give you to Clarke today." Aden said, as Lexa was crowded with natblidas, in their tuxedos, all congratulating her.

The singer started, signalling it was time to get started, the natblidas walked the down the aisle scattering flower petals, as the went. When they got to the end and took their seats, Indra walked to her spot at the front, followed by Luna, once everyone was in place, Lexa was escorted to the front, by Aden.

Kane who was overseeing the Skaikru ceremony asked. "Who gives this woman to be married?"

To which Aden replied, "I do." And took his seat in the front row.

Lexa stood beside Luna and Indra nervously waiting for Clarke.

Luna elbowed her and gestured behind her, as Octavia made her way down the aisle. Lexa saw the blonde goddess, she was marrying and was left breathless by her beauty.

"If you don't stop drooling, people will think you like her or something." Luna joked as Octavia took her place on the other side of the aisle and Raven made her way down the aisle.

Lexa just looked at Luna quickly, before turning back to her bride, unable to comprehend her words, let alone form a response.

Raven took her spot beside Octavia and Clarke looked at Lexa and gave her a nervous smile as Abby escorted her down the aisle. Their eyes locked and no-one else existed for either of them.

Clarke glided towards Lexa.

Kane asks, "who gives this woman to be married?"

Abby answers, "I do." Abby takes her seat at the front behind Clarke.

Neither Lexa or Clarke noticed the question and answer, both were fixated on each other. Lexa took Clarke's hands and kissed her lovingly, forgetting they were standing in front of a crowd. The crowd hooted and cheered their approval.

"Hey, no kissing yet," Kane joked, as Raven and Luna managed to shake the couple out of their kiss.

Lexa whispered in Clarke's ear, "you look like a goddess from the sky, my love."

"You are my beautiful grounder goddess," Clarke whispered to Lexa.

Gaia steps forward, to start the grounder part of the ceremony. "Elders, leaders and our people we are here today to join Heda and Hedatu, in everlasting love. Having passed their Tombom Gonplei ceremony, it is now time to bind them in this life and every life following. Lexa, please repeat after me, I, Leska kom Trikru, Leader of the 13 clans do you willingly bind myself for an eternity to this woman, Clarke Kom Skaikru, Wanheda, Leader of Skaikru?"

"I, Leska kom Trikru, Leader of the 13 clans do willingly bind myself for an eternity to this woman, Clarke Kom Skaikru, Wanheda, Leader of Skaikru." Lexa said proudly.

"I will serve her needs as my own, I will love and respect her above all others and honour our vows for this life and every life following." Gaia said.

"I will serve her needs as my own, I will love and respect her above all others and honour our vows for this life and every life following." Lexa continued.

"Clarke, please repeat after me. I, Clarke Kom Skaikru, Wanheda, Leader of Skaikru, do willingly bind myself for an eternity, to this woman, Leska kom Trikru, Leader of the 13 clans." Gaia said

"I, Clarke Kom Skaikru, Wanheda, Leader of Skaikru, do willingly bind myself for an eternity to this woman, Leska kom Trikru, Leader of the 13 clans. " Clarke repeated breathlessly.
