Tempest-A Jack Frost and Elsa Fanfiction

Elsa-Chapter 38

Elsa nervously adjusted the curls that fell gracefully over her shoulder, fiddling with the crown of delicate ice crystals set back against her head.

"Stop fidgeting," Anna laughed, giving her sister a hug. "You look so beautiful, El."

Elsa smiled at their reflection in the mirror, giving her sister a kiss on the cheek. She had gotten permission from the Seasons to let Anna be the only human that could come and go between realms as she pleased so that they wouldn't have to be apart forever. Elsa was so happy that she could have her sister here by her side on her wedding day. Her heart was so full that she felt as though she might burst.

"She's right, you know," Mara grinned from where she sat on the arm of the couch in her delicate, lacy blue bridesmaid gown. "Jack's getting an amazing girl."

Elsa smiled. She was also getting an amazing guy too, one that she cherished with all her heart.

"It's all sooo romantic," Alyssa gushed. For being two hundred and thirty years old, Elsa could sometimes swear she was still a sixteen-year-old girl at heart. "And your dress is beautiful!"

Elsa smiled, twirling a little in front of the mirror. The dress, which she had made herself out of ice crystals, fanned out around her, the ice catching the light and shimmering like stars. She felt beautiful in this dress and she couldn't wait for Jack to see her in it. He had insisted teasingly that it was bad luck for him to see the bride in her dress before the wedding, but Elsa was excited for him to see the full effect for the first time today.

"You know," Mara teased. "Jack's considerably older than you, Elsa. Are you sure you're okay with marrying such an old geezer?"

Laughing, Elsa gave Mara's shoulder a playful shove. It was amazing how over the course of the last few months, she had gone from being alone in the world to having a family of sorts. She had her sister, her best friends, and the man she adored. She didn't need anything else. Even being ruler of Ledas paled in comparison to having someone to love.

"I'm sure I want to marry Old Man Winter out there," Elsa giggled as the music began. Her heart began fluttering excitedly as though a thousand fairies had been unleashed inside her chest. "Quick, hand me my bouquet, Anna!"

Anna handed over the bunch of delicate, red ice roses that Elsa had created for herself, picking up her own smaller bunch in the other hand. "Are you ready?"

"Definitely," Elsa smiled, her heart racing wildly. In a few short moments, she and Jack would be husband and wife. Bonded forever. She liked the sound of that.

Mara opened the door and led the way down the long aisle in the palace chapel, followed by Anna and Alyssa and then Elsa. Elsa had to remind herself to go slow, even when every fiber of her being just wanted to rush down the aisle and into Jack's arms.

Her train trailed behind her, shimmering in the sunlight filtering through the high, colored windows on both sides of the chapel. Hundreds had gathered to watch the proceedings while thousands of Ledans had gathered in the streets outside, celebrating right along with them. But none of that mattered when Elsa saw Jack's face at the end of the aisle. He wore a joyful grin and love shone in his eyes, gazing at her just as she had always hoped.

Finally, Mara, Anna, and Alyssa took their place and Elsa took Jack's hand and stepped up on the dais to face him.

"Wow," he breathed, his grin widening. "You are so beautiful! You look wonderful."

Elsa blushed a little at his praise. "So do you," she whispered back. Jack wore a ceremonial white uniform, a blue sash crossing his chest with a snowflake on it, marking him as Winter.

Theo cleared his throat and the music died away, leaving an expectant silence in its wake. "Welcome friends, family, guests. Thank you all for being here to witness this blessed event."

Elsa smiled up at Jack as they took each other's hands. Jack squeezed her fingers, his grin widening as they began their vows.

"Jack, when I was growing up, I didn't really have anyone I could turn to, someone I could call friend, confidant, protector. I always felt like something was missing from my life, but now I'm standing here today, knowing that I have everything I'm ever going to need. You are my family, Jack, and I can't wait to start my life with you."

Jack looked as though he was about to burst from happiness, his warm brown eyes that she loved so much shining radiantly.

"Elsa, I knew from the moment I first saw you that something amazing was about to happen. I've been around for a long time, but I've never met anyone quite like you. You're beautiful, smart, funny, selfless. So many things, I can't even begin to list them all. But know that I love you, and I want to spend every single day showing you just how much."

The crowd let out a little sigh at his words and Theo stood a little straighter, clearing his throat again.

"Elsa, do you take Jack to be your companion, your partner through your life's journey?"

"I do," Elsa smiled, happy tears welling in the corners of her eyes. "I definitely do."

Theo smiled approvingly and turned to Jack. "And now, Jack, do you take Elsa to be your companion and partner through your life's journey?"

Jack's smile was so wide that it looked as though he was about to split his face in half. "You bet I do."

"Then by the power vested in me as a Season of the Realms, I declare you bonded forever as husband and wife."

Elsa watched as tendrils of golden light swirled from Theo, Mara, and Alyssa's hands and began twining themselves around Jack and Elsa's conjoined hands. The glow became brighter and brighter as the magic worked, bonding them together forever. Jack smiled and gave Elsa a tiny wink.

"I love you," he whispered as the light began to fade. "So much."

Smiling teasingly, Elsa whispered back, "I love you too, Old Man Winter."

"Well, don't just stand there," Anna called from her position behind Elsa. "Kiss her already, Jack!"

Everyone laughed and Jack swept Elsa into his arms, dipping her slightly before giving her a kiss that made her toes curl. The audience began cheering and clapping as Elsa and Jack were led out of the chapel and onto the balcony overlooking Ledas. The citizens below roared their approval as Jack and Elsa held up their intertwined hands, waving for the citizens to see. Elsa could still hardly believe it. They belonged to each other and nothing could ever change that.

The rest of the day passed in a blur of joy and excitement until at last she and Jack were left blissfully alone at the end of the night. The Ledans were still celebrating in the streets below with fireworks and dancing. Elsa smiled as she watched them from their private balcony. She couldn't wait to lead them, but more than that she couldn't wait to lead them with Jack by her side.

"And how are you this evening, Mrs. Frost?" Jack teased, spinning her around and catching her in a kiss. Elsa wrapped her arms around him, letting her fingers get tangled in his hair as they stood there together.

"I'm perfectly, wonderfully happy," Elsa whispered, brushing her lips softly with his own. "And how are you this evening, Mr. Frost?"

"I am the luckiest man in all the realms," Jack grinned, pulling her closer to him. "Because I fell in love with you. Tell me, have I told you lately how much I love you?"

Elsa giggled, kissing his cheek. "Yes, but do it again. I never get sick of hearing it."

"I love you," Jack said, kissing her again. "I love you, I love you, I love you."

Elsa returned the kiss, her heart so full she felt it might burst.

"Good," she grinned. "Because I love you too."
