(Thank-you for the pictures Courtney, they're beautiful-- it's an amazing dress. Right-- this is the wedding gown by the way.)
Standing in a well furnished room stood Alura, admiring how dazzling the dress looked on her. She had decided earlier not to pin her hair up, but leave it down and flowing... She preffered it this way, and found it looked much better cascading down her back.
Running her fingers through her long golden hair she turned to face the door. Her nerves had been eating away at her all morning-- But then again, this was to be the biggest day of her life... it was only natural wasn't it?
Sighing lightly she lifted her gaze to the ceiling and bit her lower lip. Soon enough, the bridal march would sound, and she'd walk out those double mahogany doors to her love-- and be wed. How exciting!
The large room selected for the wedding was dressed up itself, filled with white marble benches, and an alter at the head of the room, where the preist would stand.

Fixing his bowtie for the seventh time, Lemartes frowned. When he had practiced the other day, it only took him a few tries. This was ridiculous! With a resigned sigh, he let one of the servants in the groom’s chamber help him with it. “Thank you.” Good lord… Ruler of a whole nation, and soon to be husband, yet he was foiled by a simple bowtie… Not to mention that although the tuxedo he had gotten fit quite well on his frame, it was rather hot inside of it…
His thoughts stryed to Alura, and the gown she had chosen. Such a sight, she would be! Too bad he couldn't see her until things were underway... Strolling out to the main chamber, he sighed once more, trying to calm down. "C'mon Lemartes, you've slain all kinds of evil beasts... Getting married will be a piece of cake..."

Pacing back and forth, Alura fought to calm her nerves, not as easy a feat as she'd hope. She felt a hot blush cover her cheeks as she imagined herself falling flat on her face. Sitting in a near by chair she fiddled with her numerous diamond bracelets; before closing her eyes and sighing. "Calm youself Alura."
Opening her eyes as the door opened she smiled as Syrenia entered the room. Closing the door behind her the lycan queen smiled. "Alura, you look beautiful."
Alura smiled. "I'm glad you came. I was beginning to worry." Giving a light laugh she rose to her feet and gave the light hared woman a hug. "So, you've decided to be my maid of honor?"
Syrenia smiled. "And an honor it will be." Sighing lightly she picked up the dress clearly selected for her-- a pale green, which would fit snugly and showcase her curves while draping to the ground. "It is beautiful." She mumbled softly before looking back at the bride to be.
"Thank You Syrenia." Sighing softly she folded her arms and smiled. "I can't help but be nervous."
"That's completely natural." Syrenia said in a reassuring tone. "May I ask... Why did you pick me to be the maid of honor?"
Alura smiled. "That's simple, really." She sighed "You're a close friend." She laughed "And I can't imagine Jacob agreeing to wear a dress."

It was no old news that Syrenia had chosen a new husband, and Lemartes was hoping to catch a glimpse of the werewolf before the day was over. It pained him that Lupus was gone, but he supposed that one couldn’t mourn forever. Walking to his place at the front of the many benches, he was surprised to find a strong arm wrap around his neck in a playful choke. Turning to see Jacob, Lemartes smiled nervously. “I see you made it. It’s good to have a friend nearby at a time like this.”
Laughing whole heartedly, Jake clapped the shifter on the back, eyes full of excitement. “Nervous as ever, huh Lemartes? Just take it easy my friend, soon you will be the proud husband of Alura Mirage! So… How’d you do it, eh?”
“What?” Pausing, he smirked. “Oh, just did it the old fashion way I guess, getting down on one knee, and stuff…” With a shrug, he smiled, already feeling a whole lot better.
Grinning widely, Jake nodded. He too, was dressed in a tuxedo, and found it to be a little uncomfortable when going out in the sun… However, it was nice to dress up and go to a friend’s wedding. “Sounds good, Lemartes. Sounds good.”

Sitting next to Alura, Syrenia sighed lightly. "I'm glad we've both found love." Smiling she blinked foreward and laced her fingers while laying them in her lap. "I told you about Dante earlier..."
Alura nodded. "Yeah. He sounds Hot. But, He's nothing compared to Lemartes." Smiling she gave her friend a gentle nudge before sighing lightly and blinking foreward.
Syrenia laughed lightly and stepped behind a small wardrobe before sliding into the pale emerald dress, a smile spread ing on her face. "it's a great fit..."
Alura nodded. "Duh?" Laughing again she closed her eyes and sighed lightly. Before giving Syrenia anotherjoyful hug. "I'm so excited!"
The wemen both grinned and laughed lightly.

Nikkie bounced lightly along the halls as she walked, a tiny, almost hidden smile on her lips. She wore a red dress that flowed like Alura's but had straps to hold it up. The dress had been disigned for her especially. It hid the blood and scars, and she looked exactly like a young child. She had taken medicine a bit earlier, and should be fine until the wedding was over. They had had a break in her case, and found a special, hard to make, and expensive medicine, that allowed her freedom for a while, while subduing her attacks fairly well.
A man stepped out in front of her, the smile on her face gone in a flash as he smiled at her. "Alura is the other way, or were you looking for Lemartes? " he asked her, a smile brighter than most on his face. "C'mon, I'll take you to him." he said kindly as he reached foward to take her hand.
She slid backwards out of his reach, and shifted uncomfortably, fighting to hold back her tears, not wanting to ruin the makeup a woman had put on her face. The man looked taken aback as she moved away, and gave her a glare. "Fine..Follow me..." he told her coldly as she looked at the floor.
They walked quickly, and were soon at The chapel. Nikkie;s eyes grew wide with exitement, this time, it was good. The scene before her was lovely, and the moment her eyes fell upon Lemartes she jumped with glee. Eyes fell upon her as she glanced around...Frozen to the spot, her eyes on him, slightly filled with fear.
Crissy and Allyssa moved gently through the long corridors to Alura's dressing room, each holding a large assortment of hand-grown, hand picked enhanted roses, garunteed to lest forever. A light knock fell upon the bride's door as the two giggled lightly. "We have gifts for the bride." Crissy laughed gently, Allyssa smiling gently.
Both girls were wearing their traditional Kimono's, but who could blame them? Of course, they had been adjusted and pulled up higher, showing much less clevage out of respect, though it was acutely uncomfortable.
Ricochet was wrapped around Allyssa's arm. When they left earlier, he had refused to release her arm, so she left him, hoping he would sleep through it, which he probably would....Lazy dragon...yet she was glad she had brought him. He had always had a hard time taking a liking to others, and never quite got used to Syrenia, though he loved to be around Alura.

Despite all the playful banter, Lemartes still held onto a sliver of nervousness… He had been at the head of many celebrations before, but a wedding? Who would have thought that his bride would have been his long time friend and bodyguard, as well… Such strange ways life seemed to work. Spotting Nikkie in her crimson dress, he smiled, walking over to the girl. Crouching down in front of her, Lemartes wrapped his arms around his fellow shifter in a warm hug. “Hey Nikkie, glad you could make it.” Fortunately they had found some way to suppress her ‘illness,’ and Lemartes would keep pushing them until they had found a cure.
Following his friend, Jacob also smiled down at the girl before them. The dressed matched her hair, but he knew the real reason why it was red. Jacob had been told before hand about this particular shifter, and understood the gentle and careful ways one had to use when around her. “Hi Nikkie. I’m Jacob. ‘Mr. Wolfie,’ as Alura likes to call me. Nice to meet you.”

Nikkie couldnt help but let out a tiny giggle at Lemartes. She liked the tux he was wearing....But the tie was leaning to the side....She gently fixed it and smiled at him. At the sound of Jacobs voice, however, she took a step back, but relaxed when she heard the tone he used, and "Mr. Wolfie" Couldt help but make her smile.

Alura grinned at Crissy and Allyssa and nodded. "Thanks..." Giving them both large embraces she sighed softly and smiled. Blinking at Ricochet she sighed and gave him a gentle scratch on the head before blinking up, a nervous smile on ehr face.
"I'm getting married!" Smiling she jumped up and down a few times, trying to release some of her giddyness-- and ease her nerves.
Syrenia sat wide-eyed, watching Alura with a smile on ehr face. "Oh dear..." She murmered before laughing softly and shaking her head.

Crissy and Allyssa just giggled at her giddyness. "And to Lemartes. Looks like you made a good choice. " Smiled Crissy. "Sweet and cute....Is it really possible?" Laughed Allyssa. Both girls had instantly approved of the Shape shifter, both having met him once or twice before...
Ricochet seemed to be the only on who didn't enjoy the energy in the room. Alura's jumping up and own had upset him making him rise his head and hiss, a tiny bit of fire escaping his mouth to show his disapproval. "Oh hush you over grown fly....." Laughed Allyssa as she picked him up gently, laughing as he fought against her gently grip. She released him and he flew to Alura, sliding up her neck and falling back asleep right on top of her head. Allyssa gave an gentle laugh. "Not to worry, We will get him off you when your ready to go. You look so great!"

Reaching out to Nikkie, Lemartes smiled and stood back up, carrying the girl in his arms in a fatherly way. “Don’t you want to say hi to Mr. Wolfy? He’s come a long way to visit us… Maybe later he’ll transform into a nice doggy for you…” Eyeing his friend with mirth, Lemartes laughed. He knew how much Jacob hated being referred to as a simple dog, but the werewolf seemed to be going along with the ride.
A sly grin crossed his face, and Jacob winked at Nikkie, trying to keep the jovial mood. “That’s right… After this is over, you might get to play with Mr. Wolfy in his dog form, Nikkie…” Keeping a warm tone, Jacob chuckled, his loyalty to his friend far outweighing his own personal pet peeves…

Alura blinked up at Riccochet and smirked. "Uh...." Sighing she blinked at the other wemen. "Well, you win some; you loose some." Wrapping her arms around her waist he smiled and bit her lower lip before giggling softly.
Syrenia smiled and nodded befre glancing at the clock on the wall. "It should be starting soon..." She murmred softly.

Getting a little nervous as the time to begin drew near, Lemartes smiled at Jacob. "It'll begin soon, my friend... I must admit that I'm getting a little anxious for it to end..." Lemartes never was one for tons of attention, and usually kept scarce during large celebrations. However, this time, there would be no escape. But, it was a joyous occassion.
Nodding, the lycan chuckled. "Don't bail out now, Lemartes, you'll get your reward soon enough... Marriage is a good thing, despite what most guys say about it. I'm sure you and Alura will be very happy together."

Alura closed her eyes and smiled. "I can't wait... Y'know, just to get this all over with." She sighed before running ehr hands through ehr hair before biting her lower lip and dropping her hands to er waist. "I'm getting married."
Syrenia laughed shortly. "Well, at least you can still make sure he's safe...." Smiling she folded her arms and expelled a long, exagerated breath.

Nikkie giggled at his words and smiled. "Married.To Alura? " She giggled somemore..She had already thought them married..Tee-hee..
Crissy and Allyssa laughed gently, then began to hear music. "I guess we should find our seats." Crissy smiled. "Somewhere close, I wanna see him lift the veil." Smiled Allyssa.

Alura smiled and gave each of the priestesses a warm hug before seeing them off. Turning, she blinked at Syrenia, a broad smile covering her face. "Oh my god!" Giving ehr maid of honor a tight hug she closed her eyes and smiled.
Accepting the hug, Syrenia smiled. "Excited?"
The Lycan queen smiled and shook her head amusedly. "Alura, I am so happy for you." "Yeah, I'm happy for me too."
Both women laughed and sighed while releasing eachother from the hug.
"Well, Here you go." Murmered Syrenia as she let the veil fall over the shiftresses' face.

Taking heart from his friend’s words, and Nikkie’s clueless remarks, Lemartes smiled before planting a soft kiss on his ‘daughter’s’ cheek, and let her down. “We have to go for now, stay by aunty Crissy, alright Nikkie?” Hearing a melodious tune, the shifter sighed and straightened his coat. “Well, wish me luck…”
“Luck? Ha, don’t worry, I’ll help you out. I am the best man, anyways… Or have you forgotten already? I didn’t come just for the food, you silly fool. Although I must admit, I was rather impressed by the selection…” Glancing off to the food table, Jacob licked his lips in an absent minded fashion. Bringing himself back to reality, he walked with Lemartes and Nikkie, showing her where Crissy was seated. Crouching down, he smiled. “That’s aunty Crissy, a friend of Mr. Wolfie. Think you could stay by her until we come and get you?”

Alura closed her eyes and gathered the daffodil boquet that had been brung to her and smiled broadly. "Well?"
Syrenia nodded. "Dear you look fantastic. Any man would be lucky to have you."
She blushed and narrowed her eyes. "Uh-huh." Shaking ehr head, the bride to be sighed and lifted her gaze to the ceiling. "So, I wait......"

Nikkie giggled as Crissy made a funny face at her. Smiling, she took the child into her delicate arms, allowing Nikkie to rest in her lap as Allyssa scooted over a bit so the child could sit in the middle of them. Crissy and Allyssa gave Lemartes a light bow before he left.
"Welcome Nikkie." Crissy spoke softly to the child as Allyssa.
Surprised she didnt flash at the strangers touch, she felt oddly safe and comfortable with them.

Alura smiled softly and sighed. Waiting for the 'bells' to chime. Smiling softly she expelled a long and tired breath.

Swallowing a nervous lump in his throat, Lemartes ran a hand through his hair with as the bells started to call out, heralding the beginning of the ceremony. Taking his place in front of the pews, the shifter turned towards the door his wife would come out from, holding his breath in anticipation. She had been gorgeous in casual attire, he could only imagine on how a wedding gown would further enhance her natural beauty. But, the main reason he had asked for her hand in marriage, was because she had stuck by him since the first day he had become ‘Lord,’ not to mention the undeniable affinity they had developed for each other.

As the music began, Alura left the room, her white gown rippling behind ehr as she moved with a long-lost grace. Her lips were curled in a charming smile and she slowly advanced up the carpet toward Lemartes.

Allyssa and Crissy watched in pure awe as their friend shifted down the isle. She looked stunning in her gown.
Nikkie fiddled around with her hands in boredom, but stopped to giggle as Alura strolled down the isle. Sliding off the pew, she slipped past the awe struck angel, and was inches from Alura as she reached out to grab an edge of her dress to follow..She just couldnt understand why this big ceremony was happening...
In a flash, Crissy had Nikkie's hand, who looked back with slight tears in her eyes, looking as if she was about to wail.

As Alura stepped out of her room, Lemartes couldn’t help but reflect her smile, beaming in happiness and barely contained excitement. After all they had been through together, the good times as well as the bad times, their paths finally seemed to intertwine indefinitely. The only true regret he had at the moment was not seeing how they truly felt about each other earlier, instead of focusing on his duties. If the need had arose, he would have gladly stepped down from his position to take her hand in marriage.
Seeing the dilemma Crissy was in, Jacob quickly moved over to her side, and smiled at Nikkie and leaned forward to whisper to the girl. “Shh… Lemartes and Alura are going to get married… Just wait a little longer and you can go up to them, alright?” He was beginning to think that he’d have to morph into his wolf form to entertain the girl, but that might cause more noise then he would have liked.

Alura continued slowly walking up the isle with a bright grin on her face. Butterflies were fluttering in the pit of ehr stomach as she continued to advance up the walk, her eyes trained on her husband-to-be.
Hearing Nikkie, Alura frowned and blinked at her before iving ehr a reassuring smile and extending a hand. Nikkie could walk her up to the alter-- After all, why not have their adopted daughter up tehre next to them in this important and memorable moment?

Her eyes began to well with more tears as yet another stopped her from getting to her 'Mother'. Her mouth opened and the tears began to roll, but before she could actually cry, Alura's hand touched hers. Winding her fingers with Alura's, she wiped her tears away, gripping Alura's hand tightly. Stepping to her side, Nikkie became glued to the girl. As her eyes fell upon her 'Father', she looked up at Alura, trying to do exactly what she did.
Crissy sighed and let the child go...Alura and Lemartes would have quite a handful...With everything, not just the child. If only there was something the sisters could do to help her...
Seeing her sister, Allyssa clasped her hand with Crissy's, bringing a smile to her sisters lips.
Feeling her sisters hand, Crissy relaxed a bit, looking down to see Jacob. Raising a brow, she nodded her head towards the alter. "Get going, they need their best man." she whispered, giving him a smile.

Pausing as her over heard Nikkie’s gentle whimpers, Lemartes gave the girl a gentle smile as she appeared at Alura’s side. Now their family was complete… Both females looked dazzling in their dresses, and he found his soon to be wife’s gown quite lovely, too. His smile widened as his gaze came to rest upon Alura, a sudden surge of emotions flooding through him at the moment. Of all the places to find love… The notion still struck him as surprising, having never thought of her any more then a friend, until that one incident where her neck had been cut into.
Smiling sheepishly at Crissy, Jacob shrugged, darting off back to the front as discreetly as he could. Straightening out his tuxedo when he got there, he smiled as well, seeing the happiness on everyone’s faces.

Alura smiled and slowly continued up the isle, holding Nikkies hand, tears of joy welling in her eyes. Sighing contentedly, she walked with ehr head held high, smiling at Lemartes.
As she came to the alter, Alura turned sideways to face Lemartes adn smiled softly. "I love you." She whispered as she waited.

Nikkie smiled brightly as she stood at Alura's side, but as most children do, her attention soon faded away. Yawning gently, still clutching Alura's hand, she slid down and sat on one of the four steps, making Alura have to lean slightly, for the child was still clutching her hand. Leaning her head gently on Alura's bottom half of her leg.

Swelling with happiness and pride, Lemartes fought hard to remain in place, instead of forgoing all the formalities and just embracing the woman of his dreams and affections. Turning to face her, he smiled at Alura’s words and whispered them back to her. “I love you too…” His smile remained, even as Nikkie sat down, gently tugging Alura with her. It couldn’t be helped, he knew. Nikkie was so young, after all.
Jacob looked away and smiled at the sight, wishing that he could just let his two friends have their quiet time together. They deserved it, after all.
