Okay guys this is it the grand finale! all mistakes are mine and i own nothing but the idea of the story! Emma and Regina's vows are inspired by Kesha's song Finding you (Regina) and Rainbow (Emma). Enjoy!

6 months later…

"There is still so much left to do Emma I don't know how I'm going to get it all done in time for the wedding." Regina said throwing her pen down on her desk, frustrated with everything.

"I know its frustrating 'Gina' but we just have to take deep breaths and do one thing at a time. It's really only the little things we have left to do. We have our dresses; they should be in at any time now. We have a location set. The invitations are all sent out and we are already getting rsvp's. We are not doing brides maids so we don't need to worry about any of that. Henry is renting a tux. We almost have all the decorations for the ceremony and reception. We are meeting Mr. Gingerbread-man…"

"It's Mr. muffin-man not Gingerbread-man." Regina interrupted.

"Yeah whatever you know what I mean." Emma paused in her mini rant waiting for Regina to agree with her. She got a small nod of acknowledgement, so Emma continued. "All we really have to do is get a dress for Ade, order the flowers, get our shoes and when the dresses come get the alterations done that we need." Emma finished speaking and walked over to Regina turning her chair to face herself. She put her hands on Regina's shoulders and said "It's going to be okay."

"Are you done?" Regina asked and Emma nodded. "Good because you forgot about the D.J. we still have to find and someone who is not Granny to cater the wedding and most importantly you forgot about the vows we still have to write." Regina exclaimed.

Upon seeing Regina's reaction Emma knew there was something deeper going on than pre wedding jitters. She pushed her lucked and straight out asked. "Okay what is really bothering you babe because you and I both know you love this kind of stuff. You love all the planning and checking things off your to-do list." Emma asked as she pulled Regina out of her office chair to go sit on the couch so they could talk. As they sat down Regina let out a sigh.

"I'm sorry for snapping at you Emma it's just that all this wedding planning is bringing up old memories I would rather forget. My first wedding was not a great one; or one I even wanted. My mother accepted the king's proposal against my wishes. And then I was thrown into a world I didn't want to be a part of. It was everything I didn't want. I remember bits and pieces of living in my father's homeland and living in the castle he grew up in. From what I remember everyone was just so angry all the time. They were always fighting for freedom or to be heard or for food. And because my dad was the youngest out of his brothers we were cast out to make room for the next in line prince and princess's children and the children of the prince who was second in line. The day that happened was the day I decided I wanted no part of that world where boys were more important than girls, where you didn't marry for love, you married for power and control over another kingdom. All I have ever wanted was to marry the person that I loved and to make a family with them. But destiny had a different plan for me regardless of what I wanted. And all those feelings of anger and depression, the feeling of being trapped are surfacing again and I just … it gets hard sometimes to remember that this is something I want and that you are the person I love and want to spend the rest of my life with." Regina finished with tears welling in her eyes.

"Babe, why haven't you told me any of this?"

"Because I don't want you thinking that I don't want to marry you, because I do! I so very much do Emma. I just never thought I would be here again, so I never dealt with these demons so they are making themselves known now. I actually have an appointment with Archie to talk about it after work today which is another reason I have not said anything I kind of wanted to get my thoughts in order first so that I could better articulate what was going on inside my head."

"Okay I won't push it anymore." Emma said as she rubbed her hands up and down Regina's arms in what she hoped Regina found as a comforting gestor. "Thank you for sharing with me and for what it's worth babe I think you did a great job telling me what was going on." Emma leaned over and gave Regina a hug. Pulling back, she looked down at her watch and saw that her lunch hour ended twenty minutes ago. "Okay I hate to leave you after that but my lunch ended twenty minutes ago and if I'm not back asap my boss will have my head on her mantle." Emma joked as she leaned down to kiss her fiancé good bye.

"We don't want that now." Regina sassed as Emma walked out of the room. With a last look over her shoulder Emma smiled and waved goodbye.

…Later that day….

"Hey ma what are you doing?" Henry asked as he walked into the dining room.

"I'm working on my vows so your mother doesn't kill me." Emma answered only briefly looking up at her son.

"Oh sounds like fun. Can I go to nicks house? We have a science project that we need to work on."

Emma looked up from her writing to study Henry to make sure he was telling to the truth. Deciding that he indeed was she said "Yeah that's fine make sure your home by 9 please it's a school night."

"Thanks ma!" Henry whooped as he ran for the front door with his book bag flung over his shoulder.

"DON'T SLAM, the door" Emma started to say but was not fast enough as the front door slammed behind Henry. Sighing to herself Emma went back to writing her vows.

After staring at a mostly blank piece of paper for the last thirty minutes Emma huffed and threw down her pen just as Regina and Ade walked through the door.

"Hey, how did it go?" Emma asked when she saw the pair.

"It went fine I have no cavities and she got a bunch of goodies form Dr. Mark at the dentist." Regina replied as she walked over to Emma to give her a kiss hello.

"Yeah mama! I gots lots things! I gots foss and a toof brush with Sofia! And bubble gum toof paste." Adeline said excitedly but slowly trying to get the words right as she showed Emma all her goodies.

"That so cool love bug! You love Sofia the first don't you!"

"Yeah!" Adeline exclaimed.

"Why don't you go put that stuff up in the bathroom so we can use it tonight before bed." Emma said smiling.

"Okay!" Ade screamed and took off running to do what she was asked. Both mothers smiled as she ran away.

"What are you up to my love?" Regina asked as she noticed the paper sitting in front of Emma.

"Honestly, I'm working on my vows but it's not going so well." Emma scowled down at the paper in front of her like it betrayed her. Chuckling Regina leaned down and kissed the top of Emma's head and said "At least your trying that's all I ask." As she walked away from Emma.

"Oh! Henry won't be home for dinner." Emma said loud enough so that Regina could hear her from the kitchen. She got up from the table and fallowed her. "He has a science project to do with Nick I guess. I told him to be home by 9." Emma lowered her voice as she too entered the kitchen.

"Okay that's fine. I'm thinking it's a leftovers kind of night anyway." Regina said as she looked away from the fridge closing the door and walking over to Emma and wrapping her arms around her.

"Mmm leftovers my favorite." Emma said as she pulled Regina closer leaning down for a kiss. A kiss that quickly became passionate and was promptly interrupted by their almost three-year-old.

"Mama, food?" she asked as she walked through the kitchen door.

"What would you like my little love bug?" Emma asked leaning down to pick her up.

"sagna!" Ade exclaimed happily bouncing up and down on Emma's hip. "okay, okay my love lasagna it is." Emma said. And with that the family got their receptive leftovers heated them up then sat down to eat.

The day of the wedding….

"Hey mom how is it going in here?" Henry asked as he poked his head into the room Regina was using to get ready.

Looking up from putting the last touches to her make up on she smiled at henry "Aw Henry you look so handsome" She said with a watery smile.

"Don't cry mom you will ruin your makeup."

"I can't help it you're just growing too fast. You're going off to college soon and I just …" Regina cut herself off before she had more than just watery eyes. She took a calming breath and said "I am done, I just need to put my shoes on." Regina walked over to her dress bag and pulled out a pair of pale blue heels to put on. Once finished Regina spun in a slow circle asking "So how do I look?"

"You look amazing mom. I can't wait to see ma's face when she sees you." Henry replied with a grin.

Regina turned and looked in the mirror one last time to make sure everything was on point. She was wearing a cream off the shoulder long lace sleeve dress with a white lace over lay. The train to the dress is long and elegant. Her hair is curled a pined up in to an immaculate hairdo showing off the open back of the dress. Her makeup is soft and flawless with a light smoky eye and a mauve lip.

Running her hands down the front of the dress to smooth out the imaginary wrinkles, she takes one last breath before she turns and walks over to Henry taking his offered arm "I think I am ready." She said with a smile.

"Not just yet sis, your missing something Zelina says as she approached the pair in her maid of honor dress. (Three months from the wedding both brides decided that they did want at least a maid of honor each. Especially when things started to get hectic at the very end. They were glad they made this last minute change.) The dress was a purple grey color. It had a sweat heart neck line and was made out of chiffon. As she got closer Zelina held up a crystal necklace. "your missing your something barrowed. I found it in the vault with mother's things I think she would want you to wear it."

Smiling Regina turned so that Zelina could put the necklace on, once done Regina turned back around. "Thank you Zelina it really means a lot." She squeezed her hand took Henrys arm once more and they all walking out of the room to wait for their queue to walk down the aisle.

On the other side of the venue…..

"Mama! You very pretty!" Adeline said as she sat getting the last touches done to her chestnut hair. She had a small flower head crown on her head her hair curled and cascading down her back and the sides braided and pinned in the back so that her hair would not fall in her face. She was also wearing a white flower girl dress with a lace top like Regina's dress and a flowy bottom like Zelina's dress.

"Thank you baby girl. You look beautiful also" Emma said. She turned back to the mirror to finish putting on her nude lipstick. Her eyes like Regina's were a light smoky color. Her hair like Adeline was curled and braided on the sides and pined at the back of her head with a sapphire hair clip (the kind that are fancy and you have to slid a long pin threw it and the hair to make it stay). Her dress is a white satin ball gown with sleeves. It has beading across the neck line and around the waist were the top half meets the bottom half. Unlike Regina's dress Emma's does not have much of a train at all.

Turning away from the mirror Emma watches as her mother walks through the door holding something behind her back.

"Oh Emma you look gorgeous." Snow said softly as she walked over to Emma. Once she reached each other they embraced.

Pulling away Emma said "Thank you mom, you look good too."

"Thank you. I came to give you this it was my mothers and her mother's before that and so on. I wore this on my wedding day and now I was hoping you would wear it on yours?" snow held up a simple but beautiful diamond necklace.

"Oh mom it's beautiful. Yes! Of course I would be honored to wear it." She turned so the Snow could put it on. Once done she turned again and hugged snow. "Okay so is everything ready? Are you ready Red?"

"You know it" Red said with a big smile. She too is a maid of honor but she is Emma's maid of honor.

"Thank you for letting me barrow dad for a bit."

"It's no problem hunny."

"Speaking of where is he?" Emma looked to her mom for an answer.

"I'm right here!" David said as he walked into the room with a sniffling Neal. "we had a bit of a situation when we couldn't find mommy." He said walking over to Snow to hand Neal to her.

"It's okay dad you're hear now and everyone is ready." Emma said with a smile. She walked over to David and took his arm. "Lead the way."

And with that everyone filed out of the room and moved to their starting points.

The ceremony….

The ceremony is being held in a court yard/ garden. As the guest walk in they come down a small set of stairs no more than three steps. Once down them they walk through an arch way covered in a verity of flowers ranging from lilacs to roses to lilies. Then they see three rows of marble benches on either side of the isle. And at the very front is Archie who will be officiating the ceremony. In front of the benches are chairs for the wedding party. Once all the guests are settled in their seats music begins to play. The soft melody of the piano being played can be heard. (It's the instrumental version of Ed Sheeran's Perfect. watch?v=20rkmlN2css)

Everyone turns and waits for the wedding party to start to come down the aisle. After a few seconds Robin and Adeline walk down the aisle with their flower baskets throwing the petals as they go.(Robin is dressed the same as Ade) They are closely followed by Snow and Neal who is the ring bearer. Red followed by Zelina are next down the aisle both with a small bouquet of lilies. Once down the aisle there is a pause. And the music gets a bit louder and everyone stands as they see Emma holding a bouquet of lilies and roses escorted by David down the aisle. Once they are at the end David leans over and kissed Emma on the cheek and then goes to stand with his wife. There is another pause and then finally everyone turns back around to see Regina holding a bouquet of lavender and roses being escorted by Henry down the aisle. Upon seeing each other for the first time both woman have tears in their eyes. Emma's hand is over her mouth in an attempt to not cry. Once Regina makes it to the Altor Henry gives her hand to Emma and whispers "You look beautiful mom" and walks to stand next to everyone else.

"You look .. wow" Emma whispered as she and Regina both turned to face Archie.

"You don't look bad yourself." Regina replied with a wink

"We are gathered here today in the celebration of two lives joining to be one. The brides have asked me to keep this short and sweet so I will." Archie pause and looked at everyone seeing happy smiling faces. "Today we join Regina Marie Mills and Emma Linn Swan in holy matrimony. Who gives Regina to Emma?"

"I do" Henry said as he stepped forward Archie nodded and continued.

"And who gives Emma to be with Regina?"

"I do" David said as he too stepped forward and then back again. Archie nodded again then continued.

"If there is a reason these two should not be wed please speak now or forever hold you peace." Archie paused and waited to make sure no one was going to speak and when no one did he continued. "The brides have decided to write their own vows. Regina would you like to go first?" Archie asked as he handed over the paper her vows were written on. Regina took it with a shaky hand while she held on the Emma's hand with her other.

Taking a deep breath Regina started. "Emma, you used to be a pain in my ass but you have grown on me and have become my best friend. I never thought this day would come. We have been through so much already and I'm so glad it was you going threw it with me. I love so much about you Emma Swan, but what I love the most is the way you kiss me like no one's watching and when you look at me it's like time just stops. I know that forever does not exist but even after this life ends, I'll find you in the next so when I say "forever," Emma, it's the goddamn truth and you better listen carefully because what I'm about to say is as close to your family moto as I'm ever going to get."

Everyone chuckled at that. "Okay I'm listening" Emma replied smiling a watery smile at her soon to be wife trying to keep the tears at bay because she knows if she starts crying Regina will cry too.
"I know that you'll always be my happy ending and because of that I will search for your love, right through Hell and Heaven, for millions of years yet to come and in all the dimensions there are. Emma Swan I will find you and keep finding form now to always. That is my vow to you." Regina all but whispered the last line getting to choked up to speak any more.

"And Emma your vows." Archie handed Emma her piece of paper and like Regina she held on to it with a shaky hand. With a cleansing breath she spoke

"Regina, life used to be so dark until the day I met you. It was like I was suddenly seeing in color again. I know we didn't have the greatest start but as the years went on you and Henry helped me find the light that's inside me that I forgot I possessed. Hell even your mother helped me find and accept the magic that's inside me. There was a point when I was consumed by all the wrong things. I mean literally consumed by darkness." With a shaky breath Emma paused trying to get ahold of her emotions and looking into Regina's watery eye was not helping so she looked to sky in an attempt to calm down. She felt Regina squeeze her hands in support. With a deep breath Emma looked back to Regina and continued "And when I was in that darkness I realized a few things, one that life is way too short to care about what everyone thinks and two that you are my hope, my rainbow so to speak. As time went on and we added to our family and got closer on a lot of levels you helped me fall back in love with being alive and that's scary because life is scary. And I hope we can navigate this scary world together and that I can prove to you that I will always be your rainbow too. And I hope that we can find the end of the rainbow and spend the rest of our days in happy harmony. I love you with all my heart and soul Regina forever and always. That is my vow to you." Emma finish strong.

"May I have the rings?" Neal walked up to Archie with the rings on a pillow. Once there Archie took the rings and thanked Neal who giggled and ran back to Snow. With a smile on his face Archie handed each woman the ring they were going to place on the others finger. "Okay Emma you first repeat after me… I present this ring to you as a symbol of our union,"

"I present this ring to you as a symbol of our union,"

"of faith and love"

"of faith and love"

"patience and endurance, and forgiveness,"

"patience and endurance, and forgiveness,"

"until my last breath."

"until my last breath."

"If you would have me, I will be your wife for all times..."

"If you would have me, I will be your wife for all times..."

Regina had tears in her eyes as Emma pushed the ring the rest of the way on her finger. Archie turned to Regina and said "Repeat after me.. I present this ring to you as a symbol of our union,"

"I present this ring to you as a symbol of our union,"

"of faith and love"

"of faith and love"

"patience and endurance, and forgiveness,"

"patience and endurance, and forgiveness,"

"until my last breath."

"until my last breath."

"If you would have me, I will be your wife for all times..."

"If you would have me, I will be your wife for all times..."

Regina finished pushing Emma's ring up her finger and before she let go there was a spark that ran through both woman causing them to get goosebumps. Thinking it was just the energy of the moment they both ignored it.

"Do you Regina Marie Mills take Emma Linn Swan to be you lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do"

"And do you Emma Linn Swan take Regina Marie Mills to be your lawfully wedded Wife?

"I do"

"With the power invested in me, I now pronounce you wife and wife! You may now kiss your bride!" Archie exclaimed and everyone started cheering.

Emma smiled at Regina and pulled her in to give her a proper kiss. As their lips touched a blinding white light erupted from in-between them throwing them apart.

When they looked up they instantly noticed that they were no longer at their wedding ceremony but down in the mines with a deactivated trigger resting on the floor.

Upon seeing the trigger Emma leapt up from her spot on the floor tears already in her eyes as she made her way over to Regina who has not been able to yet pick herself up off the floor. Picking Regina up both woman clung to each other both uncertain about what just happened. And why it happened. Both feeling a loss they are not certain even happened. Trying to pull herself together Regina pushed away from Emma enough to looking her eyes. After a moment something within them clicks and the say one word.

"Henry!"
