New Queen

Alric's Pov

Ok I need to calm down. It's just my wedding day.

Everything will go perfectly fine. Nothing bad is going to happen. The ceremony will go smoothly. Then Animila will officially be my wife.

That's if she comes. What if she backs out? What if she gets sick again? What if someone ruins the wedding?

In the midst of my panicking, I see flames pass by my ear a few centimeters away from me. I wouldn't even have enough time to move if I wanted to.

I look up at the culprit. Blaze.

"What the hell was that for?" I ask.

"You looked like you were panicking again. So I got your attention." He says shrugging his shoulders.

Blaze is my best man for the wedding. He stands in a black suit with a purple tie. Lately he's been keeping me from going crazy with worry. Pretty hard job. I glare, half playfully half shock, at him.

"But did you have to send the flames of hell at me? What if you burned the suit?" I say.

"That wasn't hot enough to be flames from hell. More like from a volcano." He replies.

I roll my eyes at him. At least he loosened the mood a little. I turn away from him and look in the mirror one last time. I fix my bow tie and jacket. I make sure everything looks perfect.

"How do I look?" I ask Blaze.

"Like you are about to faint." He answers.

"That's not what I mean Flame head." I say.

"Watch it. You need me." He replies.

"Just tell me if I'm okay please." I say.

"You look fine. Stop worrying. Animila will probably sense your fear if you keep it up." He responds.

"She is not that animalistic to sense my fear. At the current moment anyway." I say.

We both shudder remembering the times when Animila becomes a little more animalistic than normal. It happens every month.

"Well have fun with that. You'll be married to her for the rest of your life and will have to deal with that. Try not to get killed. You may want to invest in a cage." Blaze says.

"Hey that's my future wife and your best friend you're talking about." I say.

"Yeah I know. She'll probably kill me if she ever heard me say that but that's our sibling love for you. Which reminds me," Blaze says and his mood darkens dangerously, "you do anything to hurt her and I'll burn you to a crisp."

"Don't worry I'll treat her like royalty." I say putting my hands in the air.

"Good now come on. The wedding is going to start soon." Blaze says lightening up.

I nod and we both leave the room we're in. We head over to where the ceremony will take place. The place is packed with people. Then again attendance to this wedding was mandatory for many people here. But the people from town came willingly. They remember how much Animila helped them so they were happy for her when they found out she is getting married.

Many of the people here all think maybe Animila can control me so that's why they all support this marriage. In the end, Animila becoming queen is a blessing to them.

Time seems to fly by and next thing I know the music is playing. I stand up straighter, if that's even possible, and clear my throat.

The twins are the first to walk down the aisle. They insisted on going together. I don't mind and neither does Animila. They are in a violet color dress that wraps around the neck.

Next Aqua walks down the aisle by herself. She has the same type of dress as the twins since the theme color is purple.

Finally the song changes and everyone stands.

Animila starts to walk down with her arm linked with Blaze. It feels like time stopped. She has a smile on her face as she walks down the aisle, bouquet in hand. She has a gorgeous white Victorian style dress that has a purple bottom. It's like the white changes into purple. It's strapless and puffy towards the bottom.

When she is close enough Blaze let's go of her and hands her to me. Then he stands by me. It's kinda weird my best man is the one who walked her down the aisle but he's the closest thing to family for her.

Animila takes my hand and we face foward. We both take a quick look to the first row. There we see both her mother and father sitting there. It seems we are the only ones that can see them though.

Again the time goes by and it's time for our vows. We face each other holding hands.

I go first.

"Animila without you I would be lost. You keep me sane and happy. You showed me what true love is. You made me feel fear, happiness, sadness all the emotions that I never focused on. I truly am the luckiest person to be able to marry you even after everything that has happened. I love you." I say.

Animila smiles and it's her turn to give her vows.

"Alric though we had some rough times I think it was all worth it. You and our friends welcomed me with open arms when we first met. You all gave me a family again. But you gave me the feeling of love. You showed me what love can do. You never gave up on me even when I hated you, when I was sick, or when I seemed too far gone. You saved my life more than once and gave me the affection to keep me going. I love you." She says.

After that we do the "through sickness and health, till death do part" vow (I forgot what it's called) and finally the moment I was waiting for arrives.

"Do you Alric take Animila as your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do." I say with a smile.

"And do you Animila take Alric as your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do." She says.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

I lean in and kiss her fully.

She kisses back and when we pull away I'm smiling like a complete dork.

She chuckles lightly. We walk back and everyone starts clapping.

There it is. We are finally married.

After all this time I finally got the girl I always wanted.

Hope that was good. I never did a wedding scene before.
