I wanna have your last name
No matter how long it takes
You always make me feel so safe
And that's how I know you're worth the wait

Asuna sat on the floor, hovering over the toilet and throwing up the only thing she ate today, which happened to be some yogurt with strawberries and granola. Alice was holding up her hair while Rika and Suguha were patting her back comfortingly. A few seconds later as she finished, she flushes the toilet and brushes her teeth.

"Are you sick, Asuna?" Rika asks her once she's done. "No," Asuna begins, shaking her head. "But I'm nervous..." she trails. "Nervous of what?" Alice asks her, knowing she was overthinking. "Me and Kirito have been through alot...w-what if he ends up leaving, or not even showing up-" Asuna stops herself, putting her hand infront of her so that she wouldn't finish that sentence. 

It was currently 5, and there wedding was at 9, which meant it was four hours away. Asuna had slept over at Alice's house with Rika and they were all about to head to the venue to get ready when she threw up, and now here she was having seconds thoughts...not for herself, but just about what Kirito would do. 

"Asuna, he loves you. More than literally everyone. He'd never," Alice says. "She's gotta point Asuna. Out of every girl in the world that flirts with him he chose you. He would've never proposed if he didn't want you...he would've stuck with Sinon," Rika says. "You and Yui are all he talks about, Asuna," Sugu says. "He won't give you up, not a second time," she adds. 

Asuna nods, gathering her composure, which doesn't work once she's back on the toilet throwing up again. She finishes throwing up practically nothing and watches her face and her mouth before brushing her teeth. "I have a question Asuna..." Alice trails, the tone in her voice telling her that she's serious.

"When was your last period?" Alice asks her. Asuna blushes at the question, silently wondering why. "Woah, wait, do you think Asuna might be pregnant?" Rika asks, which Alice nods to. "My last period..." Asuna begins, thinking back. "Was a month ago...I missed this month." she says. 

Alice squeals, not being able to hold back her excitement. "Asuna you have to take a pregnancy test!" Alice says, rummaging through her drawers and grabbing one. This is going so fast. Asuna thinks. She could tell her friends were getting excited. "C-can I take it later...I want Kirito to be there. Just in case...so it can feel like last time," Asuna thinks, remembering the day she found out she was pregnant with Yui. 

"Of course," Alice says, handing her the test. Asuna grabs it, stowing it away in her purse as they all head off to the venue. They make it in no time, where they immediately start on hair and makeup. Her makeup was natural, just mascara and lip gloss. Her hair was all down, not even her usual braid being in her hair today. She wore a classic white wedding dress that went all the way down to her feet, almost looking like a gown. 

As she looked herself over in the mirror, she couldn't deny the fact that she looked beautiful. Her bridesmaids, Alice, Rika, and Sugu wore dark blue dresses. They weren't the same dresses but they were pretty similar. Just as they were finishing the last touch ups, somebody walked in.

"Asuna," she calls. Asuna looks behind her to reveal her mother, who also had her daughter held in her arms. Yui was their flower girl, and she wore a light pink dress with flowers in her hair. "Mom..." Asuna trails, surprised that she even came. 

When she had first told her mother that her and Kazuto were back together and engaged, she didn't take it lightly. She didn't trust him anymore and wanted him them to breakup...she gave it up awhile ago, knowing she couldn't do anything to stop them.

"I'm surprised you came," Asuna says. Her mother sighs. "Well, you are getting married. I couldn't not come, plus you left Yui with me and I had to drop her off here." she says. Asuna smiles. "Thanks for coming, mom," she says. 

"Doesn't she look beautiful Yui?" her mother says, speaking to her grandchild while looking her daughter over, very close to tears. "Mommy does!" Yui says, hugging her mother. Asuna smiles, picking her daughter up and kissing her cheek. Her eyes reluctantly meet the clock, which said thirty minutes left. They'd be married soon.

"Stop fidgeting so much, Kaz," Eugeo whispers to him.

Kazuto was already waiting down the aisle for his future wife to walk down, but of course he was nervous. Who wouldn't be? What if she said no? What if she decided she didn't want to be with him anymore? "I can't stop, not till she's here at least," he whispers back. "You'll be fine," Klein reminds him.

Kazuto's eyes meet back towards the second to last person to walk down the aisle, which was the flower girl who happened to his daughter. Seeing her was enough to calm his nerves and make him smile, but that smile shortly turns into awe as Asuna walks down the aisle.

She smiles up at him, and from the way she was clutching the bouquet he could tell she was also nervous.  She's down the aisle and beside him in no time, and the two of them clutch hands as the preist begins to speak. The preist speaks for awhile before they move on to the vows.

"You have made me the happiest man on the world today by agreeing to share your life with me. I promise to cherish and respect you. I promise to care for you and protect you. I promise to comfort you and encourage you. I promise to be with you for all of eternity. I promise to share my whole heart with you, and to remember to show you how deeply I care for you, no matter the challenges that may come our way. I promise to love you loyally and fierce as long as I shall live."

He pauses, already noticing tears welling up in Asuna's eyes. He uses his thumb to quickly wipe the tears out of her eyes before he continues.

"You're my love, light and soulmate. You're the person that keeps me singing, smiling, and laughing. I give you this ring as a sign of my love that's forever, eternal and never ending, like the circle in this ring. There's no one else I'd want to build a life with. I get to have you by my side, my love and my wife, for eternity." Kazuto finishes by placing the ring onto her finger.

Asuna quickly wipes her tears before saying hers. "Do you remember when we first met, in SAO? You saved me, Kirito. I didn't know what I was going to do while trapped in that game and you saved me. You were there for my greatest challenges. You encouraged me to grow. You helped believe in myself and become the person that I am today. In your arms and by your side, I know I can do anything. I'm proud to call you my husband." She says, a smile on her face as she says this.

"I'm madly in love with you, my husband. Not only do I promise that my love for you will grow with each day, but I promise to be your friend and partner every step of the way. I will be there for you, day or night, in richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. I trust, appreciate, cherish, and respect you. I promise to share with you my hopes and dreams as we build our lives together. You, my love, are my everything," she says, desperately wanting to go ahead and seal their wedding with a kiss.

"You may now kiss the bride," he says.

The two lean in closer. Kazuto wraps his arms around her waist and she wraps her hands around his neck, standing a bit on her tip toes before they kiss. The two pull apart as the crowd cheers, walking down the aisle and into the reception area.

But before they moved on to the reception however, Asuna had something very important to tell him.
