'Just Friends'

65

The barn was decorated perfectly. The guests were seated and ready for the wedding to begin. Kara was finishing up gettin into her dress. Eliza was waiting patiently to walk her daughter down the aisle. Meanwhile in Alex's room a very panicked Lena was getting nervous about walking down the aisle first. "It's gonna be fine Aunt Lena. Aunt Kara's already." Ruby replied. "And how does she look?" Lena asked. "Really beautiful!" Ruby replied with a smile. "Ok! I'm ready. WINN! If you cause me to fall I'll kill you." Lena threatened. "Understood." Winn said swallowing hard. Sam and Ruby made their way down the aisle before Lena and Winn.

A slowed version of 'Perfect' by Ed Sheeran played as Winn walked Lena down the aisle. "Breathe Lena...it's gonna be ok." Winn whispered. "I sure hope so. Thank you Winn really." Lena replied as they separated. Winn nodded as he took a seat. "Nervous?" J'onn asked. "Yes. Very." Lena replied. "Well relax, cause here comes Alex." J'onn replied. Suddenly all eyes were on Alex as she walks down the aisle with a smile on her face.

"All rise..." J'onn says as a new song begins. This time it's a slowed down version of 'All of me' by John Legend plays over the speakers. Kara looks like a dream as she seems to float down the aisle. Lena can't take her eyes off her, too afraid that if she does the blonde may disappear. It's not until she feels Kara take her by the hand that she instantly calms down. Ocean eyes meet emerald green ones as a secret smile is shared between the two of them.

"It's an absolute honor to be the one who brings these two women together in the sacred bond of marriage. In getting to know Lena and Kara's wishes for this wedding I learned how both of them want a mix of Kryptonian and Earth traditions. So here goes nothing. With this symbolic ribbon I shall wrap this around your hands to represent the beginning of your bond to one another." J'onn says. Kara and Lena take each other's right hands allowing J'onn to wrap the blue and red ribbon around their hands.

J'onn clears his throat before continuing. "In the name of truth and honor...I declare the marriage vows biding upon you... From this day forward, throughout all time and space even unto eternity. Let no being undo what has been done today." J'onn takes a short pause before beginning the Earth traditions. "The women have written their own vows for this next part." J'onn said.

"Kara...when we first met I was so sure that I didn't want anyone in my life...but there was something about you that I found intriguing. From our first lunch together...to confessing our feelings at the party...I'll always be glad you came into my office that day. When I first began feeling something deeper than friendship I was scared of telling you....I was afraid of ruining our friendship...but a smart kid told me to go for it. And I'm so thankful for that advice...cause it got me here. I love you Kara..."

"Lena...what's there to say except...I'm so glad for that party...the kiss we shared. It was just a small part of us getting here. Everyday I fall in love with you more and more...I knew that night that there wasn't anyone else I'd rather spend the rest of my life with. I know it sounds terribly cliche...but it's true. Waking up to see your emerald eyes is all I'll ever want...I love you Lena...yesterday...today...and for every day after that...I'll love you forever..."

Tears escaped everyone's eyes as the women vowed to love one another for ever. Kara gently whipped a tear from Lena's face before J'onn continued. "That was beautiful...now...it is time to exchange bracelets and rings. On Krypton a bracelet is represented as a wedding ring. It is unique to each family, it's a mix of the house colors so Kara and Lena's is a mix of blue,red and green. Each color represents their houses being combined. Blue and red for the house of El and green to represent Lena's Irish heritage." J'onn took a pause as Sam and Alex passed forward the bracelets.

"Lena Kieran Luthor...with this bracelet I place upon your arm I Kara Zor-El Danvers am cementing my bond to you, body and soul...for eternity under Rao's great light." Kara said as she put the bracelet on Lena's arm. "Kara Zor-El Danvers...with this bracelet I place upon your arm I Lena Kieran Luthor am cementing my bond to you, body and soul...for eternity under Rao's great light." Lena said as she too slipped the bracelet on Kara's arm.

"And now for the rings." J'onn said. Alex and Sam passed the rings forward.

"With this ring, I give you this ring as a sign that I choose you to be my lover, my partner, and my best friend, today, tomorrow, and always." The women say together as they slide the bands on each other's fingers. "You may kiss the bride." J'onn says. Kar and Lena lean in and press their lips together in a short but heated kiss as whistles and claps erupt from the guests.
