Vows, Bells, & Doves

My heart raced to the finish line of my anxiety, but has yet crossed. Sweaty balms were wrapped around the delicately arranged bouquet of baby's breath and pink roses. The sun was beating down in rays on my soft skin. The supple dress was scattered across this cloud I shared with my future father-in-law, Goku.

When I was a little girl, I dreamed of marrying a magical man. Did I ever think it would come true? I was no idiot. Or was I? Considering the fact that this was happening right before my very eyes, I don't think I should've been so skeptical.

Here I am. Staring down the aisle flower petals, thrown by flower-girl-Marron, all eyes were glued to me.

Goku gave me a gentle nudge, "Are you ready?" He asked for assurance.

I took a deep breathe, "I always was," and just like that, nimbus carried the two of us down to my future husband.

It wasn't my future husband that I stared up at. It was Gohan, my love, my other half, my soulmate that I stared at. From the beautiful crease by his eyes and the dimples next to his cheerful smile, I could tell he felt the same way. It really was meant to be.

This moment had really woken me up, realizing how it had been a while since I had seen him. My heart ached, only wanting to be by his side. An eternity passed until that was a reality.

There he stood: Tall and handsome, gazing his black eyes into my own brown ones as if he were searching for something.

We were inching closer and closer, and before I knew it, Gohan stood right before me.

I felt frozen and time as his compelling hand came reaching over, a glint of glee in his eyes. Reaching for it, I felt as if I had floated off of nimbus and into Gohan's warm embrace.

"You're so beautiful. I've missed you, Melisa." he whispered for only me to hear into my ear.

The officiate cleared his throat from behind us, signaling that the ceremony must begin. We inched closer and clenched each others hands, prepared for our sacred bond.

"Now for the vows," the officiate said.

I was shaking. I had initially planned to memorize my lines. However, fear got the best of me and everything had melted away.

I cant believe this. Gohan deserves better, he deserves better than someone who'd forget something meant to be memorable. I don't deserve him. I don't deserve all of this.

Before I could act, Gohan cleared his throat with an enchanting smile on his face.

"Melisa. In all honesty, I didn't know if I'd ever see you again. It's not everyday that you bump into someone so breathe taking," the girls in the crowd swooned over his words. "I'm so happy that you share a close relationship with everyone so dear in my heart. Now that I've met you, I can't imagine a life without you. I want a family with you. I want to travel the world with you. And don't worry, I do love you. I won't ever leave your side."

My eyes weld up at the beautiful promise the man I loved gave me. All the fear I had melted away. I didn't even have my vow prepared beforehand. The words just came so naturally.

"Gohan. I knew there was something different about you. Something that separated you from every one else I pie ever walked past. The sight of you flying away from me after our brief encounter was something magical. That moment will forever be imprinted in my memory. Finding you was a must at this point. Words can describe the glee I felt when I found out you were looking for me too. For a little while I was scared that such a person was good to be true. I thought I didn't deserve it. But I know I do. I deserve you. And you deserve someone who will strive to keep you happy and growing. I will be that person for you, Gohan. I love you."

There was nothing but shock and love upon his face his tears weld up for a moment.

"G-Gohan?" I asked. A sudden pair of arms were wrapping around my body, the crowd going wild.

For only me to hear, Gohan whispered into my ear with his deep voice, "I want to take you away from here so bad."

I softly giggled, "Soon, I promise."

After everyone simmered down the ceremony continued.

"Do you, Gohan, take this woman to be your bride, as long as you both shall live?" the officiate questioned.

He gazed into my eyes. "I do."

The officiate turned to me. "Do you, Melisa, take this man to be your husband, as long as you both shall live?"

My eyes watered. "I do."

The officiate smiled at us. "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

My stomach was filled with butterflies.

We're married. We're married!

Just like that, the hybrid wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed in front of everyone. The deep feel of the kiss filled me with passion.

All I could hear was the lovely wedding bells and the delicate wings of doves flying towards the sky.

In that moment, sparks flew.
