This chapter is the wedding, kinda sappy, kinda weak and well....I tried my best! It's hard writing a wedding fic when there's no official ceremony for homosexual marriages *shrugs*

As to a reviewer, sorry I forgot your name! I do have a beta! My girlfriend Nicole proof read's all my stuff, as well as my friend Tari-chan *waves* Helps me with Japanese lingo info and spelling and stuff like that!

As to another reviewer, again sorry for the lack of name! ^_^;;; Geez I have a bad memory! Jou will be pregnant, BUT, he will take on the form of a female, I have a thing with MPREG, I can read it, I can think it, I just can't seem to write it! Sorry!


Enough of my ramblings onwards!


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Jou's mind was racing, though he looked calm on the outside, he was jumping up and down and screaming like a little girl on the inside, he finally stood, before all his friends, his family, hell, even the town of Domino, but most importantly, he stood beside his lover, about to get married. A soft smile graced Seto's lips, one of those rare expressions only Jou found he got to see; the brunette looked stunning in his black tux. A soft voice broke his thoughts as their 'minister', Lina, took her place in front of them, an old friend of Seto's and a judge in the Japanese Supreme Court, thus, giving her the power to wed the two males. Slowly, all attention was fixated on her and she gave a smile, "Today we converge on this spot to wed these two males, Jounouchi Katsuya and Kaiba Seto, as civil, mutual and life partners under eyes of government and law." Jou gave a soft smile, true enough it wasn't a religious ceremony, but, to be seen as equal by your peers seemed to be the most important place in society, rather than to be smiled upon by a divine being, though some would argue otherwise. Lina folded her arms together, clearing her throat, looking out at the people, before flashing another smile, "after I received Seto's phone call, asking me to wed him and Katsuya, I sat, for several hours, wondering and thinking to myself, 'well, I've never married a homosexual couple before, I can't exactly use the same ceremony, now can I? And, simply replacing the words seemed inconsiderate and rude, it seemed almost as if I didn't care enough to make up my own ceremony.' So, after a few hours of pondering to myself, I began to formulate an idea, 'why don't I speak about what I've seen love to be, who I've seen in love.' But, then I thought, that'd seem too much like a lecture, and would be a waste of our time, so, I've simply concluded it to this: Love, is an emotion that two people feel, love knows no boundaries, not religion, not race, not age, and, not even gender. I have seen many people in love in my life, my parents, my siblings, even I have been in love, but, I can say this, not only as a friend, but, as a respected judge and member of society. These two people that you see before you, these two young men, are, in every way imaginable, the very definition of love, they respect each other, they respect those surrounding them, and, let's face it, they're so much in love, they can hardly see." Her smile widened, "that is what I discovered after receiving Seto's phone call, that is what I thought to talk about, at my very first, homosexual marriage. Now, if anyone has any reason that these two should not be legally married, and, it better be a good one, speak now or forever hold you peace." There was a few moments paused, moments of absolute silence, Lina smiled, "that's what I thought, the couple has made their own vows which they will now exchange, so, the rings, if you please."


As Mokuba approached Lina faced the two, "Jounouchi, please go ahead."



“From the moment our relationship began, I knew it was different than anything I’d experienced before; I knew it was going to be the ride of my life. I don’t mean that in a bad way, I mean it in the sense that it would be an adventure everyday and it’d be full of surprises. To say that I love you with my whole being, mind, body, soul, is an understatement, you and I share a bond that no one I’ve ever know, nor, do I think I will meet, will ever have. I love you, trust you and respect you like no other but myself. To wake up beside you everyday is like a dream, to know that we will spend eternity no where else, but together, in each other’s arms, is the most comforting, overwhelming and cherished thought in my mind. To finally live with the knowledge that you and I are one and the same is a moment that is both envied and cherished by my heart at the same time. I love you deeply, with these words, with these actions and with this ring; I prove my love to you, now and forever. I Jounouchi Katsuya place this ring upon your finger, with the hope that our love is eternal, like the band of the ring, I’ll love you, now and forever, until taken by death.” Sliding the golden band with the engraving of a Blue Eyes White Dragon and a small puppy on the inside of the band onto Seto’s finger, Jou let out a shaky breath before smiling.


“From the moment that our lives entwined, that Fate threw the two of us together I have never loved a person more than I love you. My love for you has never waned, it has only grown stronger, and, it will never fade. Before you came into my life, my life was dark, cold, endless and desolate, when I met you; you were like a light at the end of the long cold tunnel of my life. You became my anchor, my hope; you taught me what it meant to love and to be truly loved by another. I need you like oxygen, you course through my veins, you are the reason I am the man I am today. To wake with you in my arms, it is the sweetest moment and the most pristine, calm, and vivid moment of my life. To spend moments doing nothing but holding you in my arms, to feel you close to me, are moments my heart longs for, moments we shall have forevermore. With this ring, I show my love to you, through my words and my actions, I pledge to you my absolute love and loyalty. I give you all I cherish, I place within your loving care, my heart, soul, mind and body, for you to protect and hold dear to you as I hold all you hold dear close to my heart. I Kaiba Seto, pray that our love is eternal, like the band of this ring, unending, I’ll love you now and forever, until taken by death.” Seto slid the engraved ring onto Jou’s finger, clasping Jou’s hands with his own, as well as letting out a shaky breath and smiling.



Lina turned towards the guests, a soft smile on her lips; she once again faced the couple,



“You are now seen as a wed couple before law and government; you may now kiss your partner.” Jou leaned up, wrapping his hands into Seto’s hair and pressing his lips to those of his lover, his dragon, his Seto, his husband. Parting his lips to the questing tongue, his own slid about with Seto’s as they shared their first kiss as married couple, as mutual husbands. He drew back for air, a smile on his lips as he pressed a few chaste kisses to Seto’s lips and holding back a laugh at Dia’s wail and the soft sobbing that followed.




~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~



Seto sat at the high table, looking across the lawn at the people, some he himself didn’t even recognize, Jou’s soft voice broke his thoughts, “you still in there?” Seto turned his gaze towards his lover, smiling softly,



“Just thinking, admiring the moments.” The blonde gave a nod,



“I know what you mean, it so hard to believe.” Jou gave a bitter chuckle as he looked at the tables filled with food, “especially after all the cancellations.” Seto chuckled as well, giving a small nod,



“Still we got through it.” Jou nodded, taking a sip of his lemon water, before smiling at the sound of tinkling glass, he lowered his own glass and tilted his head to the side before kissing Seto firmly on the lips at the request of the guests. Pulling back Jou smiled,


“Indeed we did.” Shizuka walked over, a small camera in her hands as well as a plate brimming with food, Jou chuckled,



“May we help you Shizu?” The red head rolled her eyes,



“Just wanted to see if you two needed anything? Most people are finishing off, which means first dance!” Jou nodded, sipping his drink,



“We’re well aware of the sequence of events Shizuka.” She rolled her eyes, walking back to her seat and finishing her own meal, Jou was eyeing the cake with a hungry gaze, which caused Seto to chuckle. Jou turned, smiling slightly,



“It looks good; they did a good job in 11 hours.” Seto nodded,



“Indeed, I hope there’s enough.”



“Yeah, there should be, I mean, not everyone eats cake.” Seto gave a nod, smiling at Jou’s logic,



“Very true, oh, it seems it’s time for the first dance.”




^~^


Taking the spot on the dance floor Seto extended his arm for his lover, smiling as Jou took his hand and after a moment, lay his head on Seto’s shoulder as the music began to play. He shut his eyes, the music resounding into his soul, making his feelings stir and his body to sway slightly. As they began to move, the world fell away, nothing more than he and Seto, nothing more than the moment they were in.

Slowly as the music ended Jou lifted his head from Seto’s shoulder and gave a small smile, Seto pressed a soft kiss to Jou’s forehead, Jou chuckled softly at the response from their audience. He’d forgotten they were there; it was always so strange that Seto had that affect on him, making him feel as if he was the only one around, which the world consisted of nothing more than his and his dragon.



Sitting after the dance, Jou faced Seto, “can we eat the cake now?” Seto chuckled, pressing a kiss to Jou’s temple,



“So anxious…” He trailed a hand down Jou’s leg; Jou swatted Seto’s hand away,



“Not now!” Seto sighed, sitting back,



“Very well, my beloved pup.” George clapped her hands, gathering everyone’s attention she pulled a chair forward and stepped onto it, clearing her throat,



“Can I get everyone’s attention?! Before cake, I’d like to say a few words!” Focusing onto George, she smiled, “okay, now, everyone knows that the Best Man, or, in my case, Woman, is supposed to say a few words about the happy couple. But, I find words aren’t necessary, Seto and Katsuya do not need any words of well wishing, and they do not need to be told how lucky they are, they know exactly how gifted they are to have found each other and to be where they are today.” She gave a small smile, “well, I’m done with my ramblings, so, if you’d all raise your glasses and share this toast with me, to Katsuya and Seto.” The toast was echoed and George smiled, “okay, now, I think it’s time for cake.” Barely holding back the giddy squeal, as well as the urge to run over to the cake and massacre it. Instead, he calmly stood, walked over, along with Seto and picked up the knife, waiting for Seto’s arms to slide down his own and rest on his hands. Together, they sliced through the marble cake and vanilla and cocoa swirled icing, a few flashes went off as people took pictures, Seto nuzzled Jou’s neck before pressing a soft kiss to the creamy white and supple flesh.


Sitting back at the table, Seto and Jou each took a fork and a small forkful of cake, before entwining their arms and taking the first bite. Then, in unison, just as the sound of tinkling glass started, the two shared a kiss with a smile. As they drew back, Seto chuckled, “perhaps we should just split this piece.”



“Agreed.” Jou took a small forkful, spooning it into his mouth and smirking, “mmmmm, this is some good cake.” Jou’s smirk grew as Seto’s eyes narrowed and darkened slightly in his lust, “aren’t you going to have any?”


“You’re on thin ice puppy.”



“Don’t worry Seto, I know how to swim.” Seto turned at Shizuka’s voice,



“You’re gonna hafta open your gifts on your honeymoon, no time, they’re calling for more rain.” Jou groaned,



“Fine.” Seto smiled,



“We’ll let people finish their cake, then do the bouquet, then we’ll be off.”



^~^



Jou smirked at the crowd of people who gathered, he plucked one of the arranged bouquets off of a nearby table, before climbing onto a chair and turning. He shut his eyes firmly and with a laugh tossed the flowers over his shoulders, into the air and towards the crowd, all of whom were eager for the bouquet. He opened his eyes, turning, in time to see Shizuka running out of the crowd, arms extended as she shoved through a few people and dove through the air, catching the bouquet as she landed on the grass with a soft grunt. He hopped off the chair and Shizuka hopped up, squealing, waving the flowers in the air, before embracing her brother, “I got ‘em, I got ‘em!”


“I see those football skills have come in handy.” He laughed as she stuck out her tongue, whirled around and walked back to her fiancés with a smile. Seto sighed,



“We’d best be going puppy.” Jou nodded, taking Seto’s hand as they walked through the parted crowd and slid into the limo. Resting his head on Seto’s shoulder Jou gave a wide yawn, Seto stroked the blonde hair lightly, “rest, my pup, it’s going to be a long trip.” Jou gave a tired nod, allowing his eyes to shut,



“Aishiteru, Seto.” Seto smiled, twining their fingers together; pressing a soft kiss to Jou’s head he rested his own head atop Jou’s,



“Aishiteru, Katsuya, my puppy, my beloved….my husband.”
