We Can Love Again

Thanks for sticking with this story until the end, really means a lot. Here's the royal wedding :)

The room they were in was so small, the walls seemed to be closing in on her. She felt as though she couldn't breathe; she literally couldn't in the dress she was in, Emma pulled it so tight. Maybe it was due to the lack of breathing, but she could feel heat pulsating off her body, probably making her sweat horribly in her expensive dress.

"Holy shit, I feel like I'm going to throw up," she muttered, as Snow finished tugging at her hair, forming the raven black strands into tight ringlets.

"Oh be quiet, your fine," Ruby responded, "you're freaking beautiful- stunning."

Tinkerbell tugged at the straps of her red dress, making sure her hair and makeup was perfect. She had to hand it to Ruby- she knew how to plan a good wedding.

"It'll be okay Mom," Henry soothed, looking so professional in his black and white tuxedo, accented with a red bow tie. "It shouldn't be hard to stand up there and say you want to marry him."

Thing was, her son was completely right. She told Robin she loved him every day- this time was no different. Regina never got nervous about anything, either.

Looking down at his watch, David quietly reminded his daughter that they had five minutes before they needed to get out there. Killian opened the door slightly, revealing a church that was full to the brim with people- every pew was taken, filled to the very end with a fairytale character they had come to know over the years.

All of her family was there in that room- everyone she loved, except for Robin, who were waiting on the other side.

"Take a deep breath," Ruby ordered, "and smile a little. This is the happiest day of your life."

The moment they had all been waiting was upon them- they had rehearsed it a thousand times before. Roland stood alone but confident before the closed door. Behind them, Snow and Charming linked arms; she was holding Caroline in her other arm, in her pale red dress, black shoes, and matching flower headband. They were followed by Emma and Killian, Ruby and Will, and lastly Neal, who stood at the end, giving Tink a hesitant look as he held his arm out towards her. Her heart was heavy, but she took it, turning around to face Regina before it was too late.

"All you have to do is open the door and walk through," she whispered, winking vivaciously.

She was right. That was all she had to do.

Regina watched from inside the shadows as the massive church doors opened. Music began to play.

Her youngest son was the first to emerge down the aisle; he looked adorable. Henry had another job to attend to.

The crowd silenced in awe as they saw the bridal party emerge, the girls clutching three flowers in each of their free hands. They all had smiles on their faces; even the pirate, even the knave of hearts, even Neal and Tink. Robin was already standing up at the podium, an excited smile on his face as he patiently awaited for the door to reveal his beautiful bride.

Knowing exactly what to do, Roland turned to the right of his father and stood behind him, the other groomsmen doing the same. Sure he was a tad bit scared out there in front of all those people, wondering if the scar on his temple was very visible to them.

However, once he saw Alex in one of the pew, smiling at him and silently telling him he was doing good, he regained his confidence and smiled back.

Then the music got louder. He knew what that meant. The audience all stood and turned towards the door; they all wanted to see the queen.

"Henry, I'll be honest, I'm so scared I'm going to trip and fall in these heels," Regina said, trying to catch her breath.
