The birds were chirping sweetly in the fresh morning air, the sky was a lovely forget-me-not blue, the leaves were rustling in the calm warm winds giving off a sense of congeniality. It was going to be the perfect day. No. It is a perfect day. Today is the day Kinomoto Sakura promises to be Li Syaoran's forever. Today was their wedding day. And nothing in the world could change that.

Syaoran had proposed to her not long ago. An absolute dream come true, that could send anyone into ‘hanyaan’ mode. Tomoyo was the happiest one to hear the intriguing bit of news and was also the first to know, considering the fact that she was caught spying on the couple with her video camera at the touching moment.

All the preparations for the wedding were made with help, of course. Tomoyo had played a big part in preparation for the wedding. She called up the best caterers in Tomoeda, which served nothing but the most exquisite food to delight one's taste buds and ordered the finest imported Rhine wine from France. She even insisted on making all the outfits for the bride, groom, best men, and bridesmaids, not to mention the lovable ring boy and flower girl. Tomoyo particularly enjoyed making the bride's lovely wedding gown, which seemed to have been designed ages ago as if she had been waiting for this very day for the past several years.

They had help with the flowers from Sakura's Flowery Card, who accidentally conjured up a storm of nadeshiko petals instead of bouquets. It took nearly 3 days just to clear up the mayhem, considering that everyone were almost buried alive in the shower of fresh nadeshiko petals.

Kinomoto Sakura had been fitted into the loveliest wedding gown you've ever seen. She was standing in the middle of a mountain of lace and frills and dozens of silk pink bows adorning the soft and elegant white satin framing itself nicely around Sakura's slender figure. It sported embroideries of small pink roses at the bottom trimming of the gown and on the bodice of the gown were several silk embroideries of pink peonies in full bloom.

The veil that was placed on her head was made of lovely lace with real sweet smelling roses of a pure snowy white color and among the white roses were freshly scented pink cherry blossoms that brought out the beauty of it all.

On a table nearby was a bouquet, containing a wide variety of flowers, ranging from roses, lilies and cherry blossoms to nadeshiko, peach blossoms and wisteria with several baby's breath to give the bouquet a more outstanding look.

And the bride, Sakura looked like a sight for sore eyes. The gown made her look elegant and refine. The soft fabric of the gown gave a contrast against Sakura’s fair skin, making her look utterly radiant. She was a heavenly sight in anyone’s eyes. The groom is one lucky man that was for sure.

However, the bride didn't look too happy though. She wore a frown on her pretty face, a feeling of worry clouding over her. Sakura was wringing a white silk handkerchief in her hands nervously till wrinkles were found all over it. Tomoyo, the Maid of Honor, who was adjusting the gown, looked at her best friend and smiled up at her.

"Don't worry so much, Sakura-chan. Everything will be just fine."

Sakura gripped onto the handkerchief tightly and wailed, "This gown is lovely, Tomoyo-chan. But what if Syaoran doesn't like it. What if he changes his mind at the last minute and doesn't want to marry me? I can't possibly take that!" as she clung onto Tomoyo for support. Tomoyo just smiled reassuringly and wrapped her arms around her best friend.

"Sakura-chan? Li-kun would never do anything like that. He loves you for who you are and not what you look like. Today you are going to marry the person you love most and everything will be perfect." Tomoyo comforted soothingly. Hearing those words, Sakura relaxed a bit and managed to crack a smile for her best friend. She quietly whispered, "Arigato, Tomoyo-chan." and released her tight grip on her best friend. Tomoyo walked out silently, a smile planted on her face as she went.

Moments later, a yellow head of a stuffed animal poked through the doorway and peered cautiously into the room with it's beady black eyes before flying into the room with what seemed to be a glass of harmless fruit punch. He landed on the dressing table right in front of Sakura. He looked up at her with a worried expression and spoke with a hint of Osaka dialect in his high pitched voice, "Drink some of this, Sakura-chan! This should help calm you down."

Sakura gently picked up the glass from the paws of the former Clow Card guardian and placing it to her lips, she drank it to the last drop, doing her best to be careful as to not spill any of the drink onto her lovely wedding gown. Placing the glass down onto the table, she felt lightheaded, and a surge of warmth running inside of her. Peculiarly, Sakura felt a whole lot better, as if the weight of the world was lifted from her shoulders and she could take on anything.

Giddily, she walked out of the door briskly with Kero-chan following close behind, struggling to stay afloat in the air with the large bouquet of flowers in his little yellow arms. He grunted as the weight of the bouquet was weighing down to the ground like a sack of potatoes. "Why did Tomoyo insist on so much flowers? Sakura would have to struggle to keep from falling when she walks down the aisle with these. She could have at least taken sunflowers. Sunflowers aren’t so much trouble." The guardian grumbled as he headed out the door after his mistress.

Outside a church was a large crowd, mostly guest, who were all waiting in anticipation for the arrival of the lovely bride. Tables were laid out under the azure skies with exquisite peach blossoms, emitting an ambrosial scent that could assuage anyone’s nerves, at the head of each table and white lawn chairs dotting the wide garden with guest filling up the empty seats. The garden contained a wide variety of roses, lilies, peonies, morning glories, tulips and daisies of every color imaginable.

All the best men were standing in a line staring at the groom, well maybe all of them except for one. The groom had started pacing back and forth, back and forth, and back and forth once again on the aisle. He began mumbling to himself, "Where in Buddha’s name is Hiiragizawa?! He should be here half an hour ago like he said so!", continuing his effortless pacing which looked like it could burn a path in the ground. Touya and Yukito exchanged glances as Syaoran began muttering incoherently about his ‘deranged relative’.

Yamazaki, as usual, started off with another of his stories, "Did you know that a long time ago, when a best man is late, the groom will have to run up and down the aisle on one foot…" and Syaoran lifted his head and listened attentively to Yamazaki’s ranting. "Takashi! You promised not to lie today!" His wife, Chiharu, appeared out of nowhere and bellowed loudly into his ear before going off to join the bridesmaids.

Touya, Yukito, Yamazaki and Eriol had agreed to become Syaoran’s best men, much to Touya’s repugnance in having anything to do with Sakura marrying the ‘Chinese gaki’. And much to Syaoran’s abhorrence to have Touya and Eriol, the two people who torments him so, to be his best men. He only agreed to it because Sakura had insisted that Touya and Eriol be among his best men.

Standing next to the group were the bridesmaids, wearing a less fancier version of Sakura’s wedding gown but it was still just as elegant. Nakuru, Chiharu, Rika and Naoko stood there, waiting in contemplation for a car to pull up any minute now. Next to Chiharu were two children of eight years, who looked amazingly like their parents, when they were younger.

The boy with dark colored hair and eyes like small slits began talking animatedly, "Did you know that when the groom starts pacing up and down the aisle like that, it means that the br-", he was interrupted abruptly when a pair of small hands grabbed him by the neck. Then they started shaking the boy vigorously like a rat. "That’s enough, Yamazaki Akito! I’m sick and tired of listening to your mumbo-jumbo!", a girl with auburn brown hair tied up in pig-tails and warm brown eyes, yelled with vigor in her voice. The boy replied to his twin sister without so much as wavering, "It’s true, Yumiko. I’m not lying. I’m being every bit honest." but the little girl didn’t buy it and continued to squeeze the life out of her twin brother.

Soon, a shiny white limousine, nicely decorated with an assortment of delicate flowers and pink ribbons, pulled up in front of the garden. The door was opened quickly by Tomoyo, who stepped out into the fresh air; her normally calm facade was replaced by a countenance of weariness and distraught. She scanned the crowd for the familiar faces of her friends and shot them a worried look.

Syaoran caught her gaze and dashed over so quickly, a trail of dust could be seen following close behind him. "What’s wrong? Where’s Sakura?" He demanded, panting hard, his face flaming red from running. Tomoyo looked at him and wore a fake smile, "Sakura-chan? She’s fine! She’s inside the car with Kero-chan! So let’s get everything started now, shall we?", pushing him lightly down the aisle, motioning to the best men to take him to wait for Sakura at the bottom of the aisle. Tomoyo signaled desperately to the bridesmaids for help.

Syaoran had to be half-dragged by the three men and now he stood nervously, waiting for his bride to come walking down the aisle, looking as beautiful as ever. Soon, the ‘Wedding March’ was played and the ring boy, Akito, walked down the aisle followed by the flower girl, his ‘loving’ twin sister, showering sakura and nadeshiko petals around. "In the olden days, the flower girl had to wear a clowns costume and prance around the aisle to begin the ceremony…" Akito began but his asinine chatter ceased when a hand swatted him on the head adamantly. Everyone sweatdropped as Yumiko tortured her twin brother.

The bridesmaids and the Maid of Honor, finally began walking down the aisle with a distraught expression on their faces. It was as if something was terribly wrong. Syaoran caught the look immediately and began fidgeting with his hands in worry.

‘What could possibly be wrong?’, he thought nervously. The mood lightened when the bride finally stepped onto the aisle. Syaoran was glad to see his koibito though she seemed to be wobbling slightly. Sakura began walking slowly down the aisle, wavering from side to side every now and then. As she took another step toward Syaoran, Sakura inadvertently tripped on her gown and started plummeting to the ground. Syaoran saw her collapsing and bolted to her side, catching her in his arms before she fell face first onto the adamantine ground.

Sakura only giggled hysterically and she got up, standing giddily and smiling with a tint of red on her cheeks. Everyone gaped at her as if she were a maniac on the loose. Sakura wobbled around the aisle and began warbling in a high pitched tone, "I saw. Hic. Syaoran. Hic. Kissing. Hic. San- Hic. Santa. Hic. Claus. Hic. Santa Claus. Hic. I saw Syaoran. Hic. Kissing. Hic. Santa. Hic. Claus. Hic. Under- Hic. Underneath. Hic. The mistletoe. Hic. Last. Hic. Last night. Hic."

Everyone continued staring at her with a blank expression as she continued singing ‘Groovy’ mirthfully while dancing and skipping around in a stupor. Syaoran gawked openly before turning to glare at a yellow stuffed toy sitting on one of the tables, pretending to be lifeless though failing miserably because it couldn’t stop trembling so nervously.

Syaoran walked over to the stuffed animal stealthily and grabbed it firmly, shaking Kero-chan hard, "What did you do to her now, stuffed animal?!" Kero-chan looked like he was on the boundaries of choking and finally gasped out, "I only gave her a glass of punch I found on the kitchen table, kozou! Let me go!", and with that said, Kero-chan bit down hard into Syaoran’s finger. Syaoran yelped and tried shaking the guardian off his finger.

Tomoyo ran up to the pair and explained to them in a troubled tone, "Kero-chan? I think you gave Sakura-chan red wine, instead of fruit punch." The yellow stuffed toy earned death glares from several people, mainly Syaoran and Touya, and he gulped nervously before making a dash for the caterer’s truck. Syaoran had to be restrained from running after the retreating stuffed animal and asphyxiating Kero’s little neck.

Sighing in defeat, Syaoran watched his bride, who had abruptly stopped her meaningless crooning and fainted right into his arms. "Sakura! Daijobu? Are you all right? Wake up please." Syaoran pleaded as he shook her gently, silently cursing Kero for getting Sakura drunk even if Kero didn’t anticipate it.

Finally, Sakura‘s emerald green eyes fluttered open, only to meet worried amber eyes belonging to the one she loved most. "Owww… My head… Syaoran? What happened? Why is everyone staring at me? Why is Onii-chan cursing about a plushy? And why is the world spinning round and round?" Sakura buried her face in Syaoran’s chest and moaned in pain.

"Shhh…" Her koibito whispered soothingly and stroked her hair to comfort her. "It’s all right… Uhh… You just got drunk…" He muttered the last part under his breath but it clear enough for Sakura to hear. "Nani?! WHAT?! How did I- When- Who- Where-" She stammered, not being able to form a single coherent sentence in her stupefaction. "The stuffed animal gave you a glass of red wine instead of fruit punch when you were back at home… I’ll get back at him later for that…" Syaoran growled and was relieved to see Sakura break into a smile. "Thank you for being here for me, Syaoran. I don’t know what I would do without you." She whispered into his ear gratefully. Smiling, Syaoran helped his bride to her feet and steadied her to make sure she doesn’t fall. Again.

The wedding was finally about to start after what seemed like an eternity. The couple stood side by side, ready to start a life together. Both beamed happily, regardless of the happenings before. They began their vows, starting with the groom who was exhausted from the strange incident.

"I, Li Syaoran, promise to protect and cherish Sakura for who she is. I care and love her more than anything else this world and I would give anything to be able to stay by her side for the rest of my life, till the end of time. Her sweet smile that lights up the whole world, her kindness and gentleness, her strong will to never give up, the way she could easily forgive anyone… I love everything about her and nothing can ever change that. I would gladly lay my life down for her safety and happiness. I know that I’m the luckiest man in the world, to have Sakura to be my wife and I hope I’m worthy of such an angel." He ended his pledge softly.

Sakura began her vow with difficulty due to her hangover, "Uhh… I, Kinomoto Sakura, promises… to… uh… to… stand by Syaoran’s side through… ano… thick and thin? No matter what happens I’ll always… eeto… love and admire him with all my heart from the depths of my soul for his bravery, encouraging words and thoughtfulness… and…" Tomoyo smiled a charming smile and whispered loud enough for only Sakura to hear, Sakura nodded and continued. "I think he’s soooo kawaii when he blushes! It’s enough to make me go hanyaan!" Syaoran’s cheeks turned a brilliant red whilst everyone else blinked and sweatdropped. Tomoyo was the only one giggling in complacency, holding a video camera much to everyone’s protest. "Eriol is going to love this!" She exclaimed pleasingly, rubbing the side of the video camera.

While everyone was preoccupied and listening intently to the couple, Touya took the chance to 'accidentally' bump into Akito and sending a certain ring flying to who knows where. "Uh… I should just put the ring on…" A flustered Syaoran faltered. He glanced at the ring boy, who was crouching on the floor with his twin sister, evidently looking for something. "Akito, you baka! Where did you drop the ring?!" Yumiko inquired angrily. Syaoran blinked and took a minute to let the facts sink in. "WHAT?! You lost the ring?!" He yelled in disbelief.

Akito could do nothing but point at Touya accusingly, "It wasn't my fault! HE pushed me on purpose! I'm not lying!" This time, everyone turned to glare at Touya. Yukito too, glared at him with the 'What did you do now, Touya?' look. Gulping, Touya refrained from scurrying away, "I didn't do anything!" This little reply made everyone narrow their eyes at him. "Okay! So what if I bumped into the kid?!" Touya admitted in frustration. "Onii-chan! How could you?!" Sakura cried and held onto her new husband's arm for support. Syaoran growled under his breath, waiting to advance on Touya and give him a piece of his mind. Everything was silent until, "I found it!! I found the ring, Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo exclaimed in a singsong voice, though she could have sworn that Touya was silently cursing her. Syaoran and Sakura smiled gratefully at Tomoyo. "Arigato, Tomoyo-chan! You're the best!"

Just as the couple were finally married, dark clouds hid the brilliant golden sun and little droplets of rain began to descend from the heavens and fall onto the earth. Each raindrop that fell made a very pleasant sound.

Unfortunately, it began to pour down even harder in torrents and pounding into the ground, accompanied by rolls of thunder and lightning flashing across the now dark sky. A strong squall picked up and knocked over the chairs and tables that lay on the lawn and sent them flying across the garden. Everyone ran into the reception hall to take shelter from the turbulent squall. Almost everyone was drenched and soaking wet from the rain.

"Syaoran?" Sakura whispered tenderly to him. Syaoran was scowling at the storm outside from a window, overlooking the garden. His hair was damp and messy and his clothes were all dripping wet. Sakura had managed to keep dry because her koibito had shielded her from the rain; the result was Syaoran getting soaked thoroughly. She stepped toward him and rested her head on his chest, regardless of how wet he was. "Something queer about this storm…" She heard him trail off, and felt him placing his arms affectionately around her waist.

Footsteps were scarcely heard over the raging storm, coming from a distance. Everyone could only make out a figure of someone, who was evidently soaked to the bone. A young man with dark hair and startling eyes emerged from the convulsion and ran into the reception hall. Slamming the doors shut behind him, he sighed in relief and looked up, only to find everyone staring at him. The tension that hung in the air was so thick, you could cut it with a knife.

Tomoyo ran up to him and embraced him tightly, "Eriol! Where were you? I was worried! I thought you wouldn’t make it in time!" Eriol smiled warmly at her before turning to face a ‘frowning relative’. "Hiiragizawa… You wouldn’t have anything to do with this storm now, would you?" Syaoran interrogated grimly with Sakura holding onto his arm tightly to prevent him from throttling his ‘deranged relative’.

Eriol kept a calm look on his face, "You hurt my feelings, dear relative. How could you even think that I would have anything to do with such turmoil?" Syaoran clenched his fist and strained to keep it from grabbing Eriol by the neck and suffocating him. "If you don’t start admitting, your feelings are not the only things that’s going to be hurt…" Syaoran gnarled in annoyance and Sakura spoke to him soothingly to calm her husband’s fiery temper.

Eriol could only grin sheepishly and back away from Syaoran before replying, "Would you believe me if I told you that I had nothing to do with this and maybe some lunatic of a magician was trying to make it drizzle sakura petals and instead, ended up with an intense storm?" That made something inside Syaoran snap and anger flared from the pit of his soul. "And I suppose you’re the lunatic!" Syaoran bawled, advancing dangerously toward his ‘deranged relative’. Soon, Eriol found himself fleeing from his ‘raving relative’, who was desperately trying to massacre him for causing so much chaos on what was suppose to be a perfect day.

Eriol: What did everyone think of the wedding ceremony?

Syaoran: You call that a ceremony!?! It was a disaster! Thanks to you and the stuffed animal!

Kero: *off in the distance* Hey! Who are you calling a stuffed animal?!

Eriol: Was it really? I thought it went great. It was very… Interesting.

Syaoran: You call that interesting?! It was horrible! Everything went wrong!

Eriol: *smiles* Like I said it was interesting.

Syaoran: *clenches fist* Why I oughta.... *Syaoran runs after Eriol*

Eriol: *runs off* Everyone, be sure to come back for the next part!

Syaoran: Get back here, Hiiragizawa! So I can chop you to bits with my sword and make an enticing fricassee out of you!

Kero: *flies up with strawberry cheesecake in paws* The next part will be written by Starlight Rose! ^^ And Tien-chan says, don’t forget to review! Ja ne, minna!
