Last chapter! I came up with this because I wanted the story to have a nice, solid finish. Thanks to everyone who left reviews. This story was a lot of fun to write, and I hope you enjoyed it! - Sailor Yellow Rose


"How soon before it starts?" Minako asked Setsuna.

"Let's see...in about 12 minutes".

"Do I look okay?" the blonde asked.

"For the tenth time, you look great," Haruka said, smiling at her. "How do you feel?".

"Ahhh, a little nervous. I feel kinda stiff in this dress".

"I told you to go for the one with the hoop skirt, but nooooo, you had to have the straight skirt one," Usagi playfully scolded. "But you look good, Minako, one of the prettiest brides there ever was".

"Thanks. I just can't believe this is really happening; Mmmm, I think I better go check my makeup one more time". The blonde shuffled back the mirror at the end of the room and carefully checked her face. She smiled at her reflection; "I do look pretty good" she thought. "I can't wait to to see the look on Yaten's face when he sees me walking down the isle! I wonder if he's thinking about me right now".

"Yaten, it's almost time for you to go out, are you ready?".

"One minute, Taiki...there, that's better," the bridegroom said, combing his hair just one more time.

"Yes, moving those three hairs over four millimeters made all the difference in the world, " Seiya joked as an annoyed look crossed his brother's face.

"At least my hair doesn't look untamed," he said, pointing to Seiya's wild, short bangs.

"Yaten, Seiya, don't start," Taiki interrupted. "It's time to walk out".

Meanwhile, Minako was taking one final look over herself; as she did, her mind wondered back to when Yaten had proposed to her, two months ago. It was her 19th. birthday; he had taken her to fancy sushi restaurant; after that, they went for an evening stroll in the park. They walked to the fountain where they had first met almost three years ago. She knew she'd never forgot how he got down on one knee, and open blue velvet box. Inside was beautiful ruby engagement ring, with two small diamonds on each side. He smiled wide, and took her hand. "Minako, I just want to say, you mean the world to me. I love you with all my heart. Minako Aino, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?".

For a stunned moment, she had sat there speechless, her face completely flushed. Then, in the next moment, she was hugging him as tightly as she could, and saying, "Yes, yes! Of course I'll marry you!". The next thing she knew, he had wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a deep, passionate kiss, and a few onlookers cheered and whistle. "Thank you, Minako, I promise I'll make you happy".

"Minako?".

"Setsuna?" the blonde asked, looking up at her friend.

"You, Haruka, and Usagi need to get ready to walk down now. I'm going to go back to my seat".

"Okay. Setsuna, I'm sorry about you not getting to be a bride's maid".

"Correction, I would have been a bride matron, and it's okay. I don't think they make bridal dresses for a woman who are five and a half months pregnant".

Minako smiled. "Oh, I hear the 'Ruka and Usagi's cue music". She hurridly made her way behind her bride's maid. Usagi went first; next Haruka walked down. Finally, it was time for the bride's appearance. Minako locked her arm around her father's arm.

"Ready for the big moment, sweetie?" Mr. Aino asked.

"Dad, I've been ready since I was five!" she joked.

"Your mother and I are so happy, Mina".

"Thank you, Dad!" Minako beamed.

"We can turn your old bedroom into that game room we've always wanted".

"DAD!" she pretended to fuss, but she couldn't help but laugh.

"Here we go!" he whispered as the bridal chorus began. The a huge, uncontrollable grin covered Minako's face as the she and her father stopped in front of the minister and her groom. She shot a glance over at Haruka and Usagi. Usagi had a wide grin on her face, too, and tears running down her cheek. Haruka, it seemed was biting her lip, and looked as she were doing her best not start bawling. Both blondes looked good in the there puffy sleeve, Christmas red gowns. She turned her eyes back towards the front.

"Who gives this woman to be married?" the minister asked.

"Her mother and I," Mr. Aino replied.

"Very good. Now, if the bride and groom would join hands. Dearly beloved..."

About fifteen minutes later, the minister concluded with, "With the power bestowed on me, and with the blessings of God, I declare you man and wife. You can kiss the bride, Yaten". With that, Yaten lifted Minako's veil and pulled her into a deep kiss. Cheers and applause rang out through the chapel. The newly weds walked back down the aisle, arm in arm. Behind them came the best man and the matron of honor, none other than Seiya and Usagi Kou. Finally, the maid of honor and the groom's man, Haruka and Taiki.


Later that afternoon, after the bride and groom had been greated by everyone, cut their cakes, toastes had been made (Haruka broke down at the end of hers), it was time for the bride and groom's first dance together. Minako and Yaten had given a lot of thought about what song that they would like. It had taken them a whole week to decided, but at last they had choosen the perfect song. Slowly, the music began to play.

What if I told you, this was all meant to be?

Would you believe me, would you agree?

"Yaten, can you believe it? We're really man and wife!". Sapphire eyes gazed into peridot ones.

"I just can't believe how lucky I was to find you," he smiled, leaning his forehead against hers.

A moment like this, some people wait a lifetime,

For a moment like this, some people search forever,

For that one special kiss, ohhh, I can't believe it's happening to me,

Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this!

Could this be the greatest of them all!?

"I love you, Yaten," Minako whispered.

"I love you to, Mrs. Kou". With that, they leaned in and kissed again.
