Oahu, Hawaii, Wednesday Afternoon Fandom Time

Romeo was getting married.

Romeo was getting married, and maybe it wasn't the first time but it was the first time he understood what he was doing.

Perhaps that was why it was the first time he'd been nervous.

He paced around the spot on the beach that would be their chapel in his bare feet and wedding suit, occasionally pausing to make small talk with Balthasar or Miho or the priest. His mind wasn't in it; all he wanted was his Yurika.

And then their lives could start.

This was why all good weddings should have sake. Tasty kisses.

Yurika even managed to do a mostly-chaste kiss. Because, well, priest, and Miho would kick the back of her legs if she started making out with Romeo during the wedding.

It was relatively chaste by Romeo's standards, too. Because priest, and Miho, and because they had the whole rest of their lives to exchange not-chaste kisses.

"Thank you," he said, when they came apart.

"You aren't done yet," she chided, bumping him with her elbow to turn back to the priest. "I still want my jewelry."

The priest smiled, having felt rather sidelined by the sake ceremony. He took the rings easily from Balthasar and muttered a short blessing over them. "You may now exchange the rings."

Romeo took Yurika's in one shaking hand and went to slide it over her wedding finger. "Yurika, take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity. I am forever yours."

It wasn't exactly what he was meant to say, but it was what he felt.

Well, they'd managed to make it mostly-Catholic vows all the way?

She plucked her ring from the priest with quick grin. "Romeo, take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity to the end of the worlds and beyond."

"Until the end of all the worlds, and then a bit beyond that," Romeo said on impulse, before the priest silenced him with a stern look.

He adjusted the ring on his finger, gazed at it as if he expected it to escape if it got out of his sight.

Miho reached over to the little ipod stereo to start the recessional music, and Yurika bowed twice to the priest before offering her arm to Romeo. "Shall we, Mr. Montague, and our trusty associates can take pictures for us to text people with the announcement?"

Re: Wedding!

Romeo grabbed her hand, squeezed hard.

"My lady," he laughed, "Signora Montague. I think the world awaits."

He didn't quite tug her down the aisle, but it was a near thing.

"That's Signora Dōjima-Montague to you," she teased, stumbling over the sand with him. "You may be hot stuff in Verona, with your Montagues, but I've got some pedigree too."

"Although I hope you don't think you're getting a housewife." Her eyes were twinkling with amusement. "I have some interviews lined up."

"As long as I can be Montague-Dōjima-san in Tokyo to match," Romeo said, still with a grin that might eat his face. "And I wouldn't have wed you had I wanted a housewife."

He glanced to the witnesses following them. "I think this is time for champagne."
