We've made it with only a half hour to spare before the reception. I walked fast paced with my guys making sure I didn't wrinkle my suit and came across Sasaki-San and he grabbed me.
"Takato, there you are! What happened, last nerve jitters? Nana was so concerned about not being your flower girl." I looked down at Nana who was standing behind her father and I smiled.
"Don't worry Nana, you'll get to be my very special flower girl." I bent down and bopped her nose and she laughed.
"Let's go Takato, we don't want to be late." Ayagi reminded.
"Yeah, let's go." I couldn't help but smile all giddy because I'm marrying my stupid angel.

I could see all the people coming in and taking a seat for our reception and I couldn't help but become more happy but at the same time more nervous.
"Big crowd huh?" Noticed Ayagi.
"Yeah, though I should be used to it." I mean, I'm noticed and surrounded by people for a living. I should be fine and all but at the same time, I feel like hurling even though we rehearsed this a thousand times. Ayagi put a hand on my shoulder.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine." I looked at Ayagi and swallowed down all that nervousness and smiled.
"Yeah, you're right." I could hear the music start and that was signal for Ryō to walk down as the ring bearer. It's almost time. Nana then proceeded to walk down the aisle, announcing that she was the 'The Most Fashionable Flower Girl on the Planet' It was finally my turn to walk down the aisle with my best man, Ayagi.
"You ready?" I nodded my head and smiled.
"Yeah, ready as I'll ever be." We locked elbows and proceeded down the right aisle. I look over to the left aisle and see Chunta walked by Antonio, Chunta all fancied up in his suit. And as we go to the alter to meet up, we lock eyes, everything coming to in slow motion as I stare at his lovely chartreuse eyes. We finally meet up at the alter and I whisper to him.
   "You look nice." I said blushing a bit. He giggled and whispered back.
   "The one who looks nice is you Taka-Darling~" I blushed some more and the  wedding officiant gave us a stern look so we knew it was time to shut up. He cleared his throat and proceeded on with the ceremony.

   The officiant went on about the processional ends and went on reading on an old script, but I wasn't really paying attention until Ayagi handed me my vows and I felt really embarrassed as the guest let out a little laughter.
   "Don't worry about it Taka-Darling," Chunta whispered to me as Antonio hands him his vows. Even the officiant smirked a little before clearing his throat once more.
   "As I was saying, the vows you are about to make are a way to share your love and commitment towards another. In your own words, openly declaring your promise to one another as well as the people in attendance to your ceremony today. One of you can start with your vows, and the other after that." I looked at Chunta to start but kept on nudging me to go first, I whispered to him.
   "Go ahead and start you untimely angel." He shook his head no and whispered back.
   "No that's alright, you go ahead. I wanna hear all the good stuff you wrote about me." I blushed and lightly punched him.
   "Hahaha, I know you love me so just go." He whispered. I sighed.
   "Fine, at least I'm in the spotlight." I purposely unfolded my paper loudly and cleared my throat.
   "Chunta, you know better than most people, I'm not good with my words. I may seem cold-headed, an aloof prince type but I'm really not. I'm crazy, jumps to conclusions all the times, enjoys too much sweets and beer where that consists most of my diet. The only thing that I was able to do right in my life was interpret lines and figure what I'd do with them so I can act for the sliver screen but the easiest lines that come to mind when I think of you, to put it simply, I love you. I may not be the most direct when it comes to my feeling but never have a doubt in your mind, I love you. And I will never stop loving you." He smiled at me and held my hand.
   "Aw Taka-Darling, That was so sweet. I knew you loved me." I blushed and lightly punched him again.
   "Shut up, will ya?" He fake pouted.
   "But I thought you wanted to hear my vows." I blushed and growled.
   "You've won this time." He unfolded his paper.
   "Why thank you. Ahem. Takato, my one and only Taka-Darling~ The first day we met I found you, so breath taking, someone I looked up to. You're the first big shot to tell me the potential you saw in me. Just having you, Takato Saijou acknowledging my talent already meant everything to me. You're the one who changed me. I'll never let go of you, no matter what it takes. Good or bad times I'll be with you. So please, don't part from me again.The only person I wanna hold is you. Takato, I know that our relationship to other people may seem unconventional, but let it be known that the only person who excites me the way you do, is you. I love you, and will never stop loving you." I started to get all happy and tear up from his words as we do the ring exchange.
"Junta, grab Takato's hand and repeat after me. Takato, after him then you repeat." He grabbed my hand with his rough  hand that always caressed me. The officiant cleared his throat and gave us our lines to say.
   "With this hand, will lift your sorrows." Chunta said as he delicately kissed my hand and I repeated and Chunta said the next line.
   "Your cup will never be empty, for I will be your wine." He poured us a glass of my favorite wine.
   "With this candle, I will light your way in the darkness." He put down the candle and retrieved the rings. Chunta looking at me so earnestly and loving with those eyes.
   "And with this ring, I ask you to be mine." He slipped on the ring, perfectly fit like a glove. I grabbed his hand and slipped on his ring.
   "And with this ring, you are mine, just as I am yours." We locked eyes lovingly as the officiant was wrapping up until he said those magical words.
   "By the power vested in me I now pronounce you, husbands. You may now kiss the groom." I've been waiting to hear those words all day and kissed him first, which caught him by surprise but soon kissed back in a long and loving kiss.
   The people in attendance cheered and the officiant finished up the ceremony. Then suddenly Chunta swept me off my feet, literally, for he picked me up princess style and gave me a quick kiss as he ran off.
   "Chunta, let me go! I still haven't thrown the bouquet!" He got it out of my hands and threw it behind it.
   "Chunta!" I looked behind to see that Ayagi caught it and Stefan smothering him. I guess everything will turn out fine after all.
   I look at the man who I just married, him carrying in his arms making me feel safe. I leaned on his chest and enjoyed going with the whim of an angel. The future for us seeming bright and happy together. Our resolution, the ending to our beautiful tale.
    Well, books don't end just because you read cover to cover. Stories aren't over until the final curtain call, so I wonder what adventures will experience, together. All in one dramatic production we call life.

   The End,
            For now.
