A few more nights had gone past. When I awoke, the sun seemed to burn brighter. It was beautiful as the smell of sweet flowers filled the air. It wasn't a cold day despite being in the fall. The day we had been waiting for had already arrived. I couldn't believe how fast a month had gone by. I normally would try to fight waking up, trying to avoid the coming day, but it was different today. I eagerly jumped out of bed and started to put on my uniform so I could prepare breakfast with the others. Levi sat up on the side of the bed and started to get dressed as well.

"My my, someone is excited," He told me coolly with a smile on his face. I blushed and nodded. He already knew exactly what I was thinking without having to say it. Despite it being a small ceremony, mostly for legal purposes. I couldn't contain my excitement though for some reason, call it stupid but I was actually happy to come out publicly enough about our true relationship.

After suiting up, we went down to breakfast to eat with the others. Levi stood up suddenly in the midst of the laughter and chaos of the morning to make an announcement.

"Okay everyone, listen up, we need to get in our best dress uniforms for today. We have a wedding ceremony to attend," Levi stated in front of everyone. I saw the surprise on everyone's faces while I drank my tea, holding back my laughter.

"Uh, Captain, who's wedding is it? And where?" One of the members asked.

"Oh yeah, suppose I should mention that huh?" He smirked as everyone's face seemed a bit unnerved at what he was going to say next. "It's my wedding, at 1 o'clock in the wildflower garden. Speaking of which, it will need some chairs set up before the ceremony. Don't even think of not cleaning it," he threatened with the look of death in his eyes as everyone was left too speechless to argue at the surprise circumstances. 

Everyone stood up and was petrified as they yelled out a "Yes, Sir!" before marching out to the garden to set it up in time for the wedding. Just as they were heading out the door, Levi spoke again.

"Petra, I have a special mission for you," He said. She noticed I hadn't yet stood from my table and I began to blush knowing she already connected the dots. "I am sure you noticed who my bride is, I need you to help her get ready today, okay?" He explained. She nodded her head as Levi went to his room to get ready. 

"Well, now you know. So, you will help me today?" I asked her. I tried to keep my nerves in check as she smiled warmly at me.

"Of course. I am surprised just like the others, especially at the wedding part. But I noticed something was different about you when Levi stayed at the hospital for you. Come, there isn't much time to prepare," she said before guiding me to my room to get dressed for the day.

She first sat me down and excused herself to her room. She returned after a few minutes with a small metal case.

"This was my grandmother's, I will share it with you, but just this once," She said sweetly before opening it to reveal an old makeup case. Makeup is quite rare, and expensive.

"It's too much isn't it!" I pleaded with her. She would have nothing of it as she insisted on letting me use it. I told her one day I would find a way to return the favor with something just as special. She put the makeup on my face, highlighting my eyes and smoothing out any redness in my face. She showed me a mirror and I looked beautiful, I could barely recognize myself.

"Oh wow, he really went all out for you," she said, pulling out my beautiful dress. I smiled, a little shy as she helped me get dressed into the wedding gown. It flowed effortlessly off my body and felt a little snug around my breasts, but it highlighted them perfectly. My skin seemed to be glowing as Petra looked at me with eyes of amazement.

"So beautiful! But there is one more thing," She sat me down in front of the mirror as she took my black hair and began to braid it around my head. She joined the two side braids together into one large braid down my neck. She placed some flowers in the braid to hold the large braid together before placing the beautiful old lady's veil over my head and covering my face.

I tried to fight it, but I started to tear up. Everyone had given me such beautiful pieces all special to them and made with love. I felt undeserving as Petra panicked.

"What's wrong?" She exclaimed at me, worried about what was happening. I wiped my tears without ruining my makeup and got a hold of myself.

"I can't believe how lucky I am," I stated. She let out a breath as she relaxed. She smiled at me and grabbed my shoulders, making sure my tears were dry with her hand.

"Yeah, well, you really changed our lives you know. Levi has been happier since you arrived, no matter how hard he tries to hide it. That makes it easier for all of us!" She stated as we both started laughing. I couldn't believe all the beautiful blessings I had. 

I looked over at the clock and saw it was almost time to begin. While Petra was getting in her dress uniform, I listened, trying to gauge what was going on around me. I could hear the Commander and Levi talking outside, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. I guess I can assume he has arrived as promised. Now, the entire team knows the truth as well and is attending too. The thought filled me with joy.

I stood up and grabbed my boutique. Now Petra was ready and so was I. I held back my nerves, unsure where they even came from. I knew this was exactly what I wanted as I started to make my way towards the garden for my wedding.
