The handsome groom is my OC, Kit.

What's the Story?
So, as I explain in the previous submission, Kit and Lyra are mind and Soups timeless pairing - our most favourite couple 💖
They first met in our Greaser!AU, back in 2019 era and they quickly became utterly enamoured with each other.
Kit fell head over heels for those beautiful blue eyes of hers the first time he caught them and he has never stopped looking since. She's his reason, his passion, his security and safety. She's everything he never thought he could ever be worthy of, and every day he wakes up to her sleeping in his bed, he just can't help but be utterly lost for words - because how could a guy like him ever get so damn lucky? He doesn't get it.
This piece is within the same AU where it all started, of course. After years and years of dancing around each other and their feelings. After Lyra has to return to France and Kit has to work every damn day to earn enough to follow her. After trial and tribulation and some movie worthy twists, they finally tell each other that they love one another.
The wedding is beautiful - she is beautiful - and all the friends, and family (found or otherwise) are there to see these two ridiculous people do what they all had wished and hoped for since the day they'd met one another.
And when they step on the floor to dance as husband and wife - they don't stop. Even after everyone else eventually steps away, their eyes are forever on each other as they say those words that took them far too long to say: I love you.
Characters: Kit (mine) and Lyra (@the-soupiest-artist)
This is actually a redraw - the original piece was done back in 2019/2020 and I'm glad to say my skills have definitely improved!
Kit and Lyra are one of those timeless pairings, in my opinion. Soup and I have put them in so many AU's at this point that it'd make your head dizzy, but the chemistry never fails between the two of them. They are the day and night to each other, complimentary, one incomplete without the other - always brightest together.
This story is where their journey started - my personal favourite - the Greaser AU.
He was a wild and reckless hoodlum, getting into all sorts of trouble, shunned by the society that made him. Too smart to waste his life away on the streets, but who was going to help someone like him? His parents? Hah! His mom was ten years dead and his dad was a deadbeat. No, he was on his own - hell, he liked it that way! (a lie)
She was a French transfer student from a well off family, brought up with privilege, support and love most of all. A sweet, kind and beautiful girl that loved to read and dance, carrying a wonder in her sparkling eyes. The world was her oyster and she need only ask for whatever she desired. She never did, mind you, but she could.
They couldn't be more different.
But they still found ground to stand on together. He was every joy and experience she never had - She was the understanding and safety he never knew. They challenged each other, but always came out better afterwards.
They fell in love. Of course they fell in love.
It started here, and so many days before and so many days after.
