Captivating

I've been revising these chapters all day, and thought I might update this story after all this time as I've started watching Bleach again. As I said in the previous chapter, I don't know when I'll update. Oh yeah, and if you haven't read the previous chapters, I've revised a lot of them, so go ahead and check them out.

Wedding

"I, Ichigo Kurosaki, take you, Orihime Inoue, to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part." The one and only time he couldn't keep tears from his eyes, he never cried, ever, not after his mother had died. But now, with the woman of his dreams in front of him, he could feel the tightness in his throat. So many thoughts were flying through his head, but the most prominent being they were finally here, they'd made it to this point. Clutching at her hands, he couldn't help but grin back at her as he noticed her own eyes shining with unshed tears.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride." The large church filled with loud, rapturous applause and clapping in seconds as Ichigo and Orihime quickly closed the distance between them, sharing the most perfect kiss. In that moment, he wished time would just stop, the feel of her lips on his, surrounded by family and friends, no battles or wars to be fought, just pure happiness. He raised his hand to cup her cheek, feeling the hot warm tears slid down her face and across his hand.

"I'm so happy," she whispered against his lips, a beaming smile never leaving her face. They broke away from each other, taking a few moments to take it all in, just smiling at each other, before walking hand in hand back down the aisle. Passing all their friends, Ichigo noticed his dad crying, and clutching at Karin and Yuzu who were both emotional themselves. It was surprising how many members of the Soul Society had turned up as well, with many of the Captains present and their Vice-Captains.

Exiting the church, Ichigo helped Orihime into their wedding car, her full wedding dress with all its many skirts proving to be a challenge. When they both got in the car, all they could do was grin from ear to ear, neither of them quite believing the day had come where they were finally man and wife.

"I don't know if I told you before, but you look beautiful. You are beautiful, you're so perfect." Ichigo whispered to her, staring adoringly into her chocolate brown eyes as they swam with tears and emotion. Pulling him into another soft kiss, she couldn't help but laugh mid-kiss, overwhelmed with the amount of bliss and happiness she was feeling.

"I can't wait for the rest of my life with you," she smiled, intertwining her hand with his.
