58. Wedding Day
She stared at herself in the mirror, flattening down the any creases in the lovely white dress she was wearing, and straightening the veil on her head. She felt her eyes sting with tears, thanking Shiva all the while that Tifa had put waterproof mascara on her. She grabbed a tissue and dabbed her tears lightly, erasing any traces of them ever being there. She, Haley Liana Strife, was getting married today.
I soft knock at her door brought her out of her thoughts as she saw Cloud poke his head in. "You ready?"
She smiled, nodding her head. "Yeah…I think so."
Reno waited at the end of the aisle, the preacher standing next to him on one side, while Rude, Tseng, and Rufus stood on the other. It was a small wedding, with only a few guests sitting in the pews of the old church. Yes, the old church. During her free time, Haley had found the gil to replace them with new ones. The old church had been decorated with flowers, lilies and irises to be exact. The front of the church, where the flowers grew around the healing waters, remained undisturbed.
Reno was excited. He was getting married to the girl that was his life, and he was just overjoyed. He wondered how their life together would be, and he decided it would be a great one.
The music started, and the people that were sitting in the pews stood as the door to the church opened.

I watched as my bridesmaids went in one by one, starting with Tifa first, then Elena, and then Yuffie. As I watched them, I was suddenly pulled into the familiar flower field.
"I cant believe you're getting married!" The familiar flower girls voice rang through my ears.
I laughed. "Neither can I. I always figured…that you'd be here as my maid of honor."
Aerith smiled at me. "I may not be there in person right now, but I'm still here, watching. And so is Zack, and your mom."
"I know."
She looked at me curiously. "Why did you pick the church?"
I looked at her and smiled. "I guess…I just have a bunch of fond memories of it. And, I think it could use some attention every now and then."
"I think, it's time now. I'll be watching."
"Haley?" I was thrown out of the field and back in front of the open doors of the church. "You ready?" Cloud held his arm out for me to take, a small smile on his face.
"Yeah. Let's go." I said, taking his arm in mine, and letting him walk me through the door.

Reno watched as Marlene came in, throwing flower petals on the ground, and Denzel moving towards him and the other guys, the rings on a pillow. And then, he watched as the girl of his dreams, came in, her older brother walking her down the aisle. She looked beautiful in her dress, and her smile was breathtaking. She held a bouquet of lilies in her hand, staring at him with a smile on her face.
When she reached the front, Reno held out a hand for her. She nodded, before turning back to Cloud and hugging him, doing her best to hold back the tears. He gently kissed her cheek before moving to sit down next to the others. Haley handed her bouquet to Tifa, and finally taking Reno's hand to stand next to him in front of the preacher.

After the many minutes of speaking, the preacher got ready to give the two their vows.
Denzel quickly handed the two their rings to hold for each other before the vows began for Reno.
"I, Reno Alan Sinclair, take you Haley Liana Strife, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part." He slipped the ring on above her engagement ring.
Haley had tears in her eyes as she said her vows. "I, Haley Liana Strife, take you Reno Alan Sinclair, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part." She slipped the ring on his finger, a large and teary smile on her face.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Everyone clapped as the two shared their first kiss as a married couple.
Everyone met up at 7th Heaven for the after party. People were already dancing together on the dance floor. Haley was talking to some people when Reno came up from behind her.
"Would you care to dance, Mrs. Sinclair?"
She giggled. "I'd love to."
Reno pulled her out on the dance floor just as one of Haley's favorite songs began to play. She started to hum along to it as they slow danced.
Can you feel the love tonight begins-
"I love you, babe…so much…" Reno mumbled into her hair as they danced.
"I love you too, Reno…I love you too."
Even though she couldn't see the future, she knew one thing for sure: That they would have a happy life together, no matter what, as long as they were together.
And they would always be together.
A/N: *SOB* S-so happy! *Wails some more*
Other OC'S appear as they watch their authoress cry-
Mimi: Um, she is a very sensitive person…
Hope: Hehe, uh, yeah, I don't think she's crying about the wedding scene…I think she's crying for joy that she's done.
N-no, I'm crying for both. I didn't intend to go all mushy and stuff! *Sniff* thanks to all of you freakishly awesome readers and reviewers, I finished this story because you all encouraged me. You are all awesome, and I appreciate each and every single on of you! Thanks so much!
