*OOC. ------ What's up everyone?! I know I've been rather quiet even since my wedding, but it honestly exhausted me so much and yesterday was the first day that I felt I remotely had any energy again. I still took it steady however, and played sims and other video games for the day with a short D&D session with my party last night too. I've yet to fully go through all of my photos, however, here are a couple of them that I have of the venue and of the wedding party.
Summary: The day finally arrives, the union between Kara and Nic
“It’s almost time. Are you ready?” Alex asked as she stepped into the Bride’s room. She paused, already beginning to tear up at the sight of her sister in her wedding dress. Kara would have looked back at Alex, but Nia was helping put the finishing touches on Kara’s hair. Instead, the Kryptonian looked at her sister through the mirror.
“Already? I thought we had at least another half an hour!” Kara said, wide eyed at Alex’s reflection.
Alex smiled, closing the door behind her. “You look beautiful,” she said, walking further into the room. Alex herself had on a dark maroon dress, matching Nia’s since the two were bridesmaids.
“Do you think so?” Kara asked, staring at herself in the mirror nervously. “I hope Nic thinks so.” She smoothed down the skirt of her dress.
“She’s been like this for the last twenty minutes,” Nia told Alex. Nia smiled at her work as she finished the French braid in Kara’s hair. “Nic is going to be blown away.”
“I can’t believe my little sister is getting married,” Alex said as she attempted not to cry. She hugged Kara gently, careful not to wrinkle the dress.
“Honestly, I can’t either.” Kara said, playing with her fingers as they pulled apart. “But after everything we’ve been through— the Daxamites invading, Earth-X, Elseworld, the Crisis, Nyxly and Lex —I can’t wait for another situation to pop up and then lose her.”
“Well now you’re stuck with her,” Alex tried to lighten the mood.
“Yeah,” Nia agreed. “What is it that Nic said the other day? ‘Not even death can get Kara out of our relationship’ or something like that?”
Kara laughed and shook her head. “That sounds like her.”
A soft knock at the doorway interrupted the conversation, and Kara looked over to see Clark standing in the doorway. He smiled wide at the sight of his cousin and walked into the room. Clark pulled her into a hug.
“Kara, you look beautiful,” he told her. He took her hands and gently squeezed them.
She grinned at him. “How’s Nic doing? Winn said she ate a lot of Thin Mints this morning.”
Clark laughed, shaking his head. “She’s so nervous but so excited. Mxy and Brainy have spent the last ten minutes trying to keep her in place.”
“I can imagine. She’s been pacing all week before bed, making checklists for everything.”
“Well now the only thing missing is her soon-to-be wife. Are you ready?”
Kara took a deep breath. “As ready as I’ll ever be.”
“Then let’s walk you down that aisle.”
As cliche and silly as it seemed, A Thousand Years from Twilight Breaking Dawn was the song that played as she started to walk down the aisle. Alex and Nia preceded her, the ladder gracing a smile to her boyfriend who stood next to Nic and Mxy. As Nia and Alex took their places opposite of Nic, Kara was being led down the aisle by Clark, who hadn’t smiled that much since his own wedding to Lois. He was so proud of his cousin, and Kara was trying not to cry or run down the aisle as she saw Nic standing at the altar, patiently waiting with clenched hands and a teary smile. Mxy was beside her, the Man of Honor (or Imp in this case). He was tearing up himself, and out of thin air conjured a handkerchief before wiping his eyes.
Kara felt like she would never reach her fiancée, but her breath was caught in her throat as Clark handed her to Nic, who squeezed her hands tightly. He kissed his cousin’s head before joining Lois and their sons in the front row. Facing each other, Nic reached up to wipe away a stray tear that was starting to roll down Kara’s cheek. The heroine leaned into her touch for a moment, already craving Nic’s embrace.
When the song ended, J’onn began to speak.
“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to celebrate the union between two young women who– who in my opinion were meant to meet.” He smiled at them. “I remember how delighted Kara was to have her first date with Nicole. I don’t think anything could have taken the smile off her face that day. And in the weeks, months, years that followed, Nicole has become a part of the family so much that I don’t think any of us would know what to do without her. Their bond is stronger than words could ever describe, and I think that’s what makes them stronger. The silent understanding they have for each other’s needs.” J’onn put a hand on their shoulders and squeezed lightly. “They're meant for each other.” He cleared his throat and dropped his hands back down in front of him. “Enough about me. Let’s hear how they feel.” He looked at them both. “Would you like to say your vows?”
They both nodded and Kara smiled at Nic, waiting for her to speak.
With a shaky voice, Nic began. “I never thought a love like this would be in my life. Every day I’m grateful to have you and every day you make my life better. No matter what we’ve been through, in the end it’s only made us stronger, both as individuals and as partners. I want to be with you for the rest of our lives. I promise I’ll celebrate every milestone and every accomplishment, every victory and every award. I promise to be there to help you through the pitfalls and failures and every up and down in between. You, Kara Zor-El, are the love of my life and I’m better for having known you.” Nic smiled up at Kara and fought back the tears when she finished speaking. Mxy handed Kara’s wedding ring— a gold band twisted and intertwined with a second band of small diamonds —to Nic. She gladly took it and slid the ring onto Kara’s finger and pressed a kiss to the knuckles of her almost wife.
The Kryptonian found herself grinning wide as she started to say her vows. “Being on Earth, sometimes it feels like I don’t fit in, and it’s hard to deal with even on the best days. But when I’m with you I don’t feel like the odd one out. I feel like I found my missing piece. And having you here for everything and then almost losing you during Crisis, it made me realize how important you truly are. You give me a reason to fight and to keep on fighting, because I know at the end of the day I’m making the world a little safer so I can come home to be in your arms. I want to be able to do that every night. I can’t wait for all the mornings I get to wake up beside you, and all the nights I get to fall asleep next to you.” Alex handed the simple gold wedding ring to Kara, who slipped it onto Nic’s finger.
“Do you, Kara Zor-El, take Nicole Blake to be your wife?” Asked J’onn.
Kara bit her lip excitedly, grinning widely as the words left her lips. “I do.”
“Do you, Nicole Blake, take Kara Zor-El to be your wife?”
Nic let out a nervous, shaky breath as Kara softly rubbed her thumbs over Nic’s knuckles. She smiled back at the blonde. “I do.”
J’onn smiled at the pair. “I now pronounce you wife and wife. You may kiss the bride.”
Bringing up her hands, Kara held Nic’s face before pulling her into a loving kiss. They both grin into the kiss, and Nic’s hands softly held onto her wife’s wrists. The sound of claps filled the room but were drowned out by the focus they had on each other. They pulled away and Kara pressed her forehead against Nic’s, closing her eyes to savor the moment. Beginning to pull apart, Kara couldn’t help but let out a small laugh.
“Oh baby,” she started to use her thumb to wipe away a small smudge of lipstick on Nic’s lip, “some lipstick got on you.” She giggled, knowing her wife’s dislike of lipstick.
“It’s okay,” Nic whispered, pulling away Kara’s hand. “I don’t mind.” She pulled Kara down into another kiss.
