I Do

I Do 

Chapter 92

Moana's POV

Time Skip... A week later... The wedding...

   I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY, I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY, I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY. Did I mention that I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY? I think I did but I wasn't sure because my excitement and nerves are at an all time high. I haven't been able to see Maui since yesterday morning because neither one of us wanted any bad luck on our wedding day, even though we're skeptical of that belief to begin with. I'm currently pacing in a small inside room in a hut of sorts near the gazebo where in just a few minutes, Maui and I are going to wed. Ariel watches me with concern and has tried to say comforting things and made kind gestures, but nothing seems to calm my nerves. As much as I love Maui, there's a part of me that's so nervous that it's making me feel as though I need to flee right now. 

  When Ariel can't take my pacing anymore, she gets up from her seat and puts her hands on my shoulders. She's a couple inches taller than me so I have to look up at her slightly. "Mo, please take a moment to breathe. You are about to marry the love of your life. This is a good thing, not a bad thing. You and Maui have a love for each other unlike any other. Your love for one another beats most of the love stories in the universe. You two belong together. You complete each other." I take a deep breath and look at her gratefully. "Thank you. That's exactly what I needed to hear. That's why you're my maid of honor." Ariel giggles and hugs me from behind, leaning her head on my shoulder. "I'm always going to be here for you Mo. You can't get rid of me that easily." I kiss her on the forehead in a friendly way. "And I appreciate that so much. I love you Ariel." She smiles. "I love you too Mo. You look breathtaking by the way." 

  I blush and hug her even tighter. "Thank you. You look gorgeous Ariel. That gown was made for you." Rapunzel and Anna cross their arms, asking in unison. "What about us?" I roll my eyes playfully at them, causing them to pout at me. "Aw you two look gorgeous too." Anna giggles and says "thank you" while Rapunzel does a dramatic hair flip with her ever growing hair, sending me into a giggle fit. We're quite the group of friends alright. 

Five minutes later...

  My mom comes in the room, making me snap out of my giggle fit with the girls and all of my attention is immediately placed upon her. My mom grabs a hold of my face, gently holding it with both of her hands, pressing a tender kiss on my forehead. "It's time." I blush and pull apart from her, beaming up at her. "It's time." Everyone takes their places and before I know it, my mom leads me to my father, who is going to be walking me down the aisle. When he takes in the sight of my appearance, he tears up, causing me to tear up too. "You look so beautiful my little minnow." I giggle and wipe away a tear that slips. "Dad, I'm not little anymore." He laughs sadly. "No you aren't but to me you always will be." I pull him in for a quick hug. "I love you Dad." He hugs me back gently. "I love you too. Now no more crying or you'll ruin your makeup. I'm pretty sure you don't want to look like a raccoon in your wedding pictures." I giggle and take his arm, trusting him one hundred percent to lead down the aisle to be placed into the arms of the love of my life and soon to be husband. 

   As I get halfway to Maui, his head snaps up immediately and we make instant eye contact. My heart begins to race and all time stops around us, everyone and everything is fading out. It's just Maui and I. 

Maui's POV

  Time completely stops as Mo gets closer to me. I take in her appearance and my jaw drops. Pardon my French, but she looks so fucking beautiful. I've never seen hear look so stunning. My heart is nearly beating out of her chest as I take her hands in mine. I'm weak in the knees right now. My knees are so weak I'm surprised they haven't given out beneath me yet. I've never felt so weak and vulnerable before. So many emotions are coming to the surface at once that it's hard to breathe. I don't want to freak Mo out so I'm going to try to keep it together at least until after the reception tonight. I gently stroke her cheek, mouthing "You look beautiful" to her. She grins from ear to ear and mouths back "So do you", causing me to quietly chuckle before the priest begins his short and famous speech. After five minutes of droning on, we're given permission to say our vows. I volunteer to go first:

  "Moana of Montonui, there was a tale about a girl with the same name as you that voyaged across the sea with a stubborn, pain in the butt demigod named Maui. Does that remind you of anyone?" That earns a sea of laughs from everyone. I crack a smile before looking back at Mo. "That tale makes me think of you because like her, actually even more so, you're brave, intelligent, beautiful, kind, selfless, and so much more. You're a hero in my eyes. You took a nearly lost cause like myself and whipped me into the shape. Meeting you in kindergarten was the best thing to ever happen to me. If you had asked me back then if I had thought you and I would end up marrying each other one day, I'd honestly have said I don't know. Though the funny thing is by senior year of high school, I knew deep down in my heart that I not only was so madly in love with you, but also that we'd get married one day. I love you Moana. You are my ocean and I can't wait to explore this crazy world we live in and spend the rest of my life with you." 

   I notice a tear slip out of her eye and I wipe it away with my thumb. My baby girl is too beautiful to shed tears, especially on our wedding day. She then begins saying her vows: 

 "Maui, you've never been a lost cause nor will you ever be. You were simply a boy who needed guidance to get on the right path and you've found that guidance the past few years. You're a man now. Don't beat yourself up over the past because the past is the past. As for the present, let me tell you a bit about my love for you. I've been been in love with you since we were girls. I was that doe eyed girl who'd do anything just to get you to notice me and say hi. I've always thought you were so handsome and charming. I knew I had to do something to completely get your attention, hence that's why I stood up for when you getting picked on by that little punk. Not only did I stick up for you because I wanted your attention, but I stuck up for you because even at such a young age, I felt emotions towards you that I'd never felt towards any other guy in my life." 

   I stare at her in awe, not expecting to hear most of this as I've never heard her confess a majority of this before. 

  "Maui, I love you so much. If I were to ever lose you in any way, I'd die. My heart would go with you. I never thought any guy would ever steal my heart but you did, so please, take care of it. Continue to love me like how I love you." 

   Several tears fall down my face but neither one of us wipes them away. I don't care if any cameras capture me crying and/or people laugh at me. This is the best day of my life. I never thought I was worthy of love and to have Moana become my wife is the greatest gift of all. 

   The priest smiles fondly at the both of us. "Maui, do you take Moana to be your lawfully wedded wife?

If so answer "I DO."

  I smile wider than I ever have before. "I do."

  The priest then turns to Moana. "Moana, do you take Maui to be your lawfully wedded husband?" 

   She returns an equally wide smile. "I do." 

 The priest then smiles wider than the both of us combined, which we didn't think was possible. "By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You two love birds may now kiss." I swoop Mo over my knee and smirk. "Gladly" is the last thing I say before my lips crash against hers.
