Suteki Da Ne~

Characters: Braska, Eiko(!), Tidus, Yuna, possible cameos by the ones designated to keep the couple on their feet
Progress: In Progress
Summary: The ceremony itself - complete with Eiko trying to be all official
Location: Luca, southern beach
Date: Friday, June 18, 1804
Warnings: Possibly Extreme Sap, but probably none

Despite the fact that Yuna was no longer a member of Yevon (and Tidus had never been one to begin with), they'd chosen to base their wedding along those lines, as it was the one they, and the people around them, were most familiar with. This one, though, wouldn't turn out the way Yuna's first ceremony had, and thank god for that. The air in general was less formal, more relaxed, and there was no sense of heavy religion about the thing, for the most part.

Braska was officiating, while Eiko had insisted on "helping," which Tidus had reluctantly given into. They were waiting at the front, on a wooden platform that had been constructed for this purpose, in front of a screen constructed of draping fabrics and various flowers and greenery that grew around Luca. Benches had been set out in the sand to seat the guests in a semicircle, cut into three pieces by the two aisles that were left open for the bride and groom (and their supporters) to make their way down at the start of the ceremony. The weather had cooperated, for once, as it was a bright and sunny day, though the wind would gust sometimes rather unexpectedly.

Rikku had been out fussing around, making sure everything was last-minute perfect for her cousins wedding, but now she slipped back into Yuna's tent, grinning at her and Rydia. "Everything's all perfect looking and I fixed that one flower that was kind of drooping...Oh you look amazing Yunie!"

Rikku herself was in a simple yellow dress (http://www.camdendrive.com/media//resized/graceful-short-yellow-prom-dress-l3807-f_size2.jpg), a compromise of a sort as she figured she shouldn't wear something too revealing at someone else's wedding. Especially Yunie's!

Though Rydia couldn't hear that last part, she suspected as much. She rested a hand on Yuna's shoulder and nodded. "Good. Just focus on what's important and shut out everything else. Pretty soon, this will all be over and you'll get to relax." She flashed a smile, knowing that this would be one of their last pre-wedding moments together. Soon enough, it would be time to depart the tent and begin the ceremony.

She glanced over to Rikku and grinned. "Doesn't she? Tidus will love it." Actually, she wondered if he would even pay attention to such details. Who knew. "You look pretty good yourself!"

Eiko had gotten into her official tribal robes some time ago, even though they were far too heavy to be practical for a beach wedding. There had been a slight snag last week when Hilda had realized the child grew (more than an inch!) since Garnet's wedding and the hem had to be let out on the robes, as there was no time to have a new set made. None of this even factor into Eiko's enjoyment of the whole celebration.

Wiggling with anticipation, she clapped her hands and bounced. Or attempted to bounce, the skirts were so heavy. "You look great! Quit fretting and let's get a move on!" Bulky formal attire or no, Eiko's impatience and bossiness couldn't be dampened. It was a good sign though, that she was eager and excited for this marriage, given her abusively loud objection to the groom the month before. "Come on, Yuna! It's your big day!"

Rikku grinned at the compliment, and then reached out to ruffle Eiko's hair. No, she couldn't help it, the tiny summoner was adorable.

"Of course now, Yunie! You're getting married! Isn't it exciting?" She was being her usual cheerful self, despite the fact that she was SO the sort to try at weddings. And she would...just not yet. Now she was just trying to keep her cousin calm and happy.

"You look amazing and everybody is here just for you. And Tidus looks so thrilled..." She grinned. "Now's the perfect time!"

Lulu had been standing in the back, mainly for moral support. Clad in a dress (http://www.shopbop.com/necklace-long-dress-t-bags/vp/v=1/845524441866832.htm?folderID=2534374302063518&fm=other-shopbysize-viewall) that suited her plus a beach wedding, she watched on, happy. It was about time that Yuna got married.

"She's right. Now's the best time."

"Yes, it is." Rydia smiled encouragingly. "You can do this, Yuna. You're ready."

"Yep, now's the best. So c'mon!" Eiko was impatient, and blunt in expressing it. She took the time to dive over and give Yuna a tight hug. "I have to go now. Don't dawdle!" Affection and bossiness all rolled into one.

Without another word, she whipped around and headed outside to find Braska so the ceremony could start.

"It really is!" Rikku parroted along with the others. And then scurried behind Yuna, placing her hands on the taller girls back (careful not to muss her dress!) and ushering her out of the tent. Pushpushpush.

"Come on, out you go."

Lulu laughed softly to herself, moving to head out behind Rikku.

"You'll be fine, Yuna. It'll be over the moment you see him."
