Back to present...

(Y/n)'s POV
I stood behind the large wooden doors, taking a slow, steady breath.
The sounds of quiet conversations drifted in from the ceremony hall, mixed with the soft melody of traditional instruments. My heart pounded so loudly I was convinced everyone could hear it.
I looked down at my hands.
They were trembling.
Who would've thought?
After surviving wars...
Facing gods...
Changing fate itself...
I'd end up being nervous over walking down an aisle.
I let out a quiet laugh.
"...You okay?"
Tenten smiled at me, gently adjusting one side of my wedding veil.
"You look beautiful."
"Thank you."
She stepped back, admiring me before giving an approving nod.
"Neji won't be able to take his eyes off you."
That only made my face grow warmer.
"I hope I don't trip."
laughed.
"If you do, he'll probably catch you before you hit the ground."
"...That's true."
A familiar voice interrupted us.
"It's time."
Hiashi-sama stood by the doorway, dressed in formal Hyūga ceremonial robes. His usually stern expression was gentler than I had ever seen it.
He looked at me for a long moment before giving a small nod.
"You are ready."
I smiled and bowed respectfully.
"Thank you... Father."
The word slipped out naturally.
For just a second, surprise crossed his face before it softened into quiet warmth.
"...Let's go."
The doors slowly opened.
The ceremony hall came into view.
Traditional white banners bearing the Hyūga crest decorated the room, while white flowers lined the aisle. Family members from the Hyūga Clan sat on one side, with friends from Konoha and the Allied Shinobi Forces filling the remaining seats.
Naruto immediately grinned the second he saw me.
"SHE'S HERE!"
Hinata gently tugged on his sleeve, her face turning pink.
"Naruto-kun..."
"Sorry..."
He whispered it, though somehow everyone still heard him.
Soft laughter spread throughout the hall.
Even I couldn't help smiling.
At the end of the aisle...
He was waiting.
Neji.
Dressed in traditional white ceremonial robes, his long hair neatly tied back.
