From Puppy to Prince

A Fairy Tail Fairy Tale Wedding

Lucy Hearfilia, now Dragneel, sat in the Fairy Tail guild hall. Today had been her wedding. It had been magical, and that's saying something considering it was filled with mages! Currently, the young, 20 year old bride was sitting at the bar, sipping some champagne, watching her friends and family dance, while she took a break for a song or two. Her feet were killing her. As she watched all the happy people smile and dance and celebrate, she reflected on the events that had brought her to this day.

All of her friends had been in on everything, including Natsu's proposal. Apparently Natsu is even more of a romantic than she had previously thought. It was only after she had said yes, and Natsu stopped kissing her for two seconds to let her breathe, did she see that most of their friends were on the ship with them. It still boggles Lucy how they all remained hidden on the ship, save for Erza, before Natsu popped the question.

Gray had actually been dressed up to help Natsu. Everyone had been, but Lucy only noticed Gray, probably because he was actually dressed for once. And Mira was actually the one to rent the ship for the day. Natsu, who had been the mastermind behind everything, had specifically asked for that ship, because it resembled Bora's ship from the day they met. Happy, Carla, and Lily were the ones who got everyone onto the ship before Lucy and Erza arrived, using their Aero magic.

Returning her attention back to the party, Lucy smiled. When she and Natsu had come back from Hargeon, the entire guild celebrated the impending marriage. During the excitement, Makarov pulled Lucy and Natsu aside. He had been thinking about something ever since Natsu had told him that he was going to propose to Lucy. He announced to them both that if they so chose, they could have their wedding be in place of the Fantasia Parade. The guild master explained that since Natsu was infamous in Magnolia, let alone Fiore, and their wedding would be just the thing to announce Fairy Tail was back for good after their war on Tartaros and disbandment. At first Lucy was against it vehemently, she didn't want a big spectacle, but Natsu won her over by begging.

So here she was, on October 15th of the year X794, in a wedding gown, now a married woman. Natsu insisted that they held the ceremony inside the guild hall, mentioning that the next place they had gone on their first day as partners and friends was to the guild. Lucy then pointed out that he forgot about how she had treated them to food at the little restaurant in Hargeon. He shook his head, adamant that he hadn't forgotten it. They argued for a few minutes, till Happy broke them up by explaining to Lucy that he and Natsu had gone to look for the restaurant just before he proposed, but it had closed down.

The ceremony itself was grand. Makarov let them hold the actual ceremony on the second floor, so that the main floor could be used for the reception afterwards. The entire wedding party gathered up there, which made it slightly cramped, but what wasn't in that guild? When it came time for the vows, Lucy's were about how Natsu had saved her countless times, not only from death, but from loneliness and fear. Natsu's vows were more about how Lucy cooked the best food he had ever eaten, then he apologized to Mirajane, and then he told her about how no matter where he was, as long as she was by his side, he was at his strongest. They each then placed a ring on the other's hand, and then Natsu, in true Natsu fashion, grabbed Lucy and jumped from the balcony onto the bar, yelling to get the party started.

Because it was replacing the parade, the event was open to anyone in Magnolia, and since the guild hall couldn't hold everyone, Freed had set up lacrima cameras in the guild, and lacrima screens outside so everyone could see. So the streets of Magnolia were filled, and every now and then, someone would be brave enough to enter the guild hall and give a gift to the happy couple.

Everyone else in the guild had many gifts for the two. Erza gave them a silverware set that looked like weapons, the knives were swords, the forks were tridents, the spoons were made to look like whips that were coiled. Mira gave them bed sheets, a knowing look in her eyes that made Lucy blush brightly, which made Natsu confused as to why she was blushing. Cana's gift was a year's supply of alcohol from her personal stash.
