" COULD YOU LOVE ME ? "Written By: Debs-dragon Disclaimer: I don't own so you don't sue. Chapter 22
It had been 6 months since that day when Trunks had asked her to marry him. She took one more look in the mirror. her mother came into the room and stood behind her. "You look so beautiful... so radiant." she said. "Thanks mom. I feel so nervous though." she replied. "Thats only natural. Once you get there & see Trunks waiting for you the nerves will all go away." said Juuhachigou. Marron smiled at her mother. "Was it like this for you?" she asked. Juuhachigou thought back to her own wedding and smiled. "Mmmm I suppose it was in a sense. I was so nervous I was shaking, but once I saw your father waiting for me I knew that I was doing the right thing." "Come on you two, we are going to be late at this rate!" called Krillin. Juuhachigou rolled her eyes. "It's traditional for the bride to be late." she said. Marron laughed, "Well I suppose we should get going. I dont want
him to change his mind!" They made their way outside to the waiting cars. Bra & Pan her bridesmaids were already there waiting anxiously for her to appear. "Gosh you look gorgeous!" said Pan. "I can't believe you are going to be my sister - in - law." said Bra. "Thanks girls." said Marron. "I suppose we should get
going. I dont think I should keep him waiting too long." she laughed
nervously as they got into the cars and headed for the ceremony. The little rocky outcrop with the waterfall and Frangipanis had been transformed into a magical fairyland. Marron had set her heart on being married here as it held such sweet and happy memories for her. The celebrant stood towards the edge with the valley falling away behind him. Chairs had been set around with an aisle left running between them. The waterfall behind it all was the perfect back drop, its tinkling water playing its own soft music. Colourful fairy lights had been festooned amongst the vegetation and twinkling softly in the gathering twilight they gave the whole place a touch of mystery. The guests were all seated and Trunks stood waiting by the celebrant with Goten as his best man and Gohan as his other groomsman. He was sweating nervously. He ran a finger around the collar of his shirt and swallowed. His mouth felt so dry. He looked at his watch yet again. Goten cast a glance at him. "She's late. What if she's changed her mind? " said Trunks, beginning to panic. Goten put his hand on Trunks arm. "Stop worrying. She will be
here." said Goten and they both looked up as Juuhachigou arrived
and walked down to take her place. She looked at Trunks and gave him
a reassuring smile. He looked so lost and alone just standing there
waiting..... Trunks drew his breath in sharply. Marron appeared on Krillins arm. Goten let loose a low wolf whistle.... "Man, she looks gorgeous." he whispered into Trunk's ear. "Yeah, doesn't she. And shes all mine." replied Trunks softly. As he watched her walk towards him a tear formed in the corner of his eye and escaping slid down his cheek. She stopped beside him and gently wiped the tear away. She smiled gently at him through her veil and he took her hand in his. She squeezed his fingers reassuringly as they turned to face the celebrant who began the ceremony. To Trunks the whole affair was a bit of a blur, He remembered saying
the right things in the right places but his mind was focused only on
the woman that stood beside him, the woman that he loved with all his
heart & soul. Goten had everyone in the usual state of mild panic
as he pretended to have misplaced the wedding ring but produced it before
Gohan could throttle him. Trunks recited the words the celebrant told
him to as he slid the ring gently over Marrons knuckle and brought it
to rest at the base of her finger. "I now pronounce you husband & wife........ You may kiss the bride." said the celebrant. Tenderly Trunks lifted her veil and pulling her gently towards him he took her lips with his and kissed her with all the love he held within. All the guests cheered. Juuhachigou and Bulma were dabbing at their eyes, Vegeta was smirking and Krillin was looking rather shell shocked at the thought of what had just taken place. "Ladies & Gentlemen. I give you Mr & Mrs Trunks Briefs." said the celebrant. Marron & Trunks turned and holding hands faced the cheering group.
They walked together into the handshakes, congratulations, best wishes
and confetti. The reception was being held in the resorts grand ballroom. Trunks & Marron had decided to have the entire wedding, reception and honeymoon at the resort as it held such wonderful memories for them both and so they had booked the entire resort for their family and friends so they could all stay and enjoy the celebrations. The reception was in full swing, the meal had been served and the deserts finished with. Trunks picked up his glass of champagne and looked at Marron. She picked up her glass and softly touched his with it. "To us." he whispered. She smiled & took a sip. The time for the speeches was upon them and Krillin did his best to keep his short. Vegeta welcomed Marron to his family and hoped that now this was all over that they could get back to some serious training. Goten couldn't resist recounting some of the antics that they had all got up to during the last few years as a gang together and only shut up when Pan & Bra threatened him with some more ice down his pants if he didn't stop. Then it was Trunk's turn... He started by thanking everyone for their good wishes and for sharing in their happiness. "I am the luckiest man alive to have someone so beautiful by my side, who loves me as much as I love them." he concluded. "Hear, Hear" said Gohan and everyone raised their glasses and drank a toast to the happy couple. Marron wrapped her arms around Trunk's neck and with the tears of love
in her eyes she kissed him. The wedding cake was brought out and duly cut and then Trunks & Marron took to the dance floor for the traditional bridal 'waltz' As Trunks held her close to him he was overcome with emotion. Marron raised her head from his chest and looked into those puppy dog eyes. "What is it my love?" she asked. He swallowed, "I never thought that I could be so happy." he whispered."I love you so much." He began to nuzzle her neck, her fingers softly stroked the small of his back. A gentle moan escaped her lips "I love you too, with all my heart." she murmured. The dancing continued into the evening and after having danced with her father Marron made her way back to her seat. Phew!" she said as she flopped down into the chair next to her new husband. "Tired?" he asked. "Mmmm, a bit." she replied. He took her hand in his and squeezed gently. "I'm ready to leave whenever you are." he said She looked into his blue eyes and noted the glint of mischief there. She reached forward & nibbled his ear, she whispered.. "Lets start saying our goodbyes." He trembled as his heartbeat quickend and the familiar feeling of desire began to build. The music came to its end and they announced their imminent departure. The guests lined up and Trunks & Marron made their way down the line saying their farewells. When Trunks got to his father Vegeta shook his hand, then with a rare display of emotion Vegeta pulled Trunks close, "Be gentle son." was all he said then with a pat to his sons back he returned to his normal stance, his eyes daring anyone to comment on what they had just witnessed. Juuhachigou hugged her daughter. "Be happy." she said. "Thanks mum." said Marron. Trunks came over and slid his arm around her waist. "Time to go." he said. Marron put her arm around his waist and turning they headed for the door. They stopped and Marron threw her bouquet into the waiting crowd. Bra caught it. Vegeta rolled his eyes "Oh no!" he said. Bra, highly delighted spun around and grabbed Goten. She hugged him close and kissed him. Trunks & Marron looked at each other and laughed. "I'll give it about another 6 months and we will be at their wedding." grinned Trunks. They stepped out into the cool night air. Trunks gently picked Marron up and floated up above the trees and across the island to the seclusion of the honeymoon suite. He landed gently and still cradling Marron in his arms carried her across the threshold and into the room. ~ To be concluded ~ |
