~Niyo's POV~
I scrolled once again through the list of items that were to be arranged for the wedding, it was a lot. My eyes went over the clothing and I nodded to myself in approval that my dress was green which was perfect, but the shoes...
"Traditional shoes are better." Tobirama said reading my mind. He was sitting across me with Hashirama-sama and bacchan was sitting with me.
"Yeah but how would you feel when people talk that your wife is taller than you? Frankly I have no problem with that but just imagine..." Tobirama and I were of very similar heights so the traditional shoes worn on weddings would make me half a head taller than him and I used that as a base for my argument because I simply did not want to wear high shoes.
"Alright, have it your way."
"YES!"
"Anything else that is not to your liking?" I thought hard about it going through the list and nothing came to mind. However...
"Keep your hair back. Just that." Bacchan sighed and Hashirama-sama laughed at my request, Tobirama was a little embarrassed but didn't look like it was getting to him much. Well, he was the one who asked so I had to answer of course.
Once I agreed to everything on the list and after bacchan and Hashirama-sama had come to some sort of agreement as well and after bacchan's teasing to both the brothers, it was time for them to leave till the wedding day. Both the elders walked out before and in the front and us both to-be-wedded hung in the back.
"See you in a week."
"Yes. Take care." Tobirama said and gestured to my still healing bruise. "Don't train too much." I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah ok." I hugged him briefly before letting him go. "Bye."

With the exchange of gold bands, we were man and wife.
The wedding ceremony was uneventful save for the shocking loud cheers from some of the women who were my friends and students. The venue was the forest because the village could not have possibly been able to accommodate all these women so we chose the forest, and because I wanted to have some peace leaving. Some of the Senju and other clan heads were invited to witness the wedding since Tobirama was going to be Hokage soon and since I was the wife of the soon-to-be Hokage, they all wanted to see.
Tobirama did keep his hair back and gave me a most excellent view of his marvelous forehead. Even with flat shoes, our heights almost matched and that gave the various clan heads something to talk about apart from the other things like why was my dress green, why was one streak of hair red, why did Tobirama agree to be wed to a Tanogata, why were his hair back, why did he agree to marry such an older woman, how would this woman bear lots of heir, why this, why that.
I was getting really annoyed by the constant whispering among the clan heads and it became obvious to Tobirama when I clenched my fist hard enough to dent my metal chopsticks.
"It's at times like these that I wish I was able to use water style jutsu..." I whispered to Tobirama.
"I can, what will you have me do?"
"Drench them all of course." He chuckled.
"Fun as that would be, we cannot do that." I pouted.
"There must be something!"
"About that...I did arrange for something, should be here in a bit-" Tobirama was still speaking when there was a sudden puff of smoke in the clearing where we were all having lunch after the wedding ceremony. When it dispersed, my smile widened to a big childish grin and everybody went quiet at the strong roaring howl.
