Fontaine's pov:
-----------------
3 weeks later............
Okay, I am freaking out! Why you may ask? It's you wedding day! You should be happy! Well I am happy. But I'm also bat shit scared. This has been coming for a long time. Now that it's finally here, I'm super nervous. Scrap that, it's an understatement. This morning everyone has been busy helping me. Ant is planning some speech (imma kill him if it's embarrassing) an so is Mom. Dad isn't a huge public speaker so he just stuck with walking me down the aisle. Kai was sleeping peacefully in his little cot, and Mom was going to hold him during the ceremony, which is good because I couldn't do all of it. And Naturally my friends haven't let me see Finn all morning. Yes I know it's tradition or whatever but I miss him!
"Fontaine! Hey, we need to get you into your dress." Mom called.
I nodded and walked over, and my mother, Jess and Maddy all helped me get into the dress. Mom did my hair into a braided updo, and she tucked small pink flowers into my hair. My pink streak stuck out an kinda went really nicely with the flowers.
Mom then passed me a slightly faded gold necklace. "Your grandmother gave me this on my wedding, so that I would have the best luck when I walked down the aisle. So I'm going to give it to you so you'll have the best luck possible!"
I teared up a little. "Thanks Mom." I smiled an hugged her.
Jess and Maddy came in fully dressed in their dresses, looking every bit the perfect bridesmaids. Evie and Bella ran in a minute later, with Eldoris and Ryuku close behind them.
"Hey girls! Good job getting your dresses on." I smiled at them.
"The boys helped." Evie shrugged. Mom rolled her eyes. "Girls I wouldn't tell your father that ok?"
They nodded an I sat them down so I could do their hair. I decided they should match me, so I braided it into mine and then put flowers of their favourite colour in their hair. Evie had purple and Bella had aqua green.
"Where are your flower baskets?" I asked. Bella opened a portal beside them and grabbed the baskets off what looked like her bed.
"I forgot you could do that!" I giggled. Bella grinned at me and showed me the flowers.
"Nereus taught us to be able to reach into a spot an grab what we want." Evie smiled widely.
"Impressive! Now, can you please go and wait for me in the foyer room? I have to feed your brother." I smiled at them, hearing Kai start to cry. The girls face lit up and then ran off, while I headed out to feed my son.

Finn's pov:
----------------
"Hey Finn! Bro you need to hold still!" Ant scolded me as I jiggled around nervously.
"But there's so many things that could go wrong! I mean maybe Kai starts crying. Or maybe Fontaine doesn't get everything perfect so she's delayed! Or-or!" I ranted while he tried to help me do my bowtie up.
"Bro. Stop. Ok, there might be a million thing that could go wrong but there's also a million things that could go and will go perfectly right. Alright? You need to chill, and let me dress you for God's sake!" Ant said firmly.
I took a deep breath in and stood still. Then Ant and will helped me to do my hair and put on my crown. Fontaine And I both had to wear them, as did everyone else except for Jess.
"Finn, everyone is gathered in the royal hall. It's time." Will smiled at me.
I nodded, adjusted my bowtie and then walked out I the room. Everyone clapped as walked in, and stood beside the priest who patted me on the back and then gestured for everyone to sit. The halls doors were closed and everything went quiet as the people prepared for Fontaine's arrival. Will had gone to see her since he had to walk her down the aisle, and so I was all by myself, completely terrified and also excited to finally marry the love of my life.
--------------------
3rd person pov: (trying something new, bare with me!)
--------------------
The entire auditorium went quiet as the Hall's doors were closed, with all the people in the city anxiously waiting for the Queen's arrival. It was obvious to those who were close enough that the King was incredibly scared and the priest was doing his best to calm the King.
Finally, Prince Anteaus who was King Finn's best man walked in, all smiles before standing to Finn's left and giving him a hug. In his own way Finn knew that Ant was welcoming him into the family.
Then Jess and Princess Maddy walked in. Their faces were excited, and they carefully stood on the right hand side of the chapel, smiling at Finn who still looked nervous an happy.
Finally, to indicate that the Queen was about to come out, her daughter's walked out hand in hand, gently throwing the flowers in their basket to prepare the way for their mother. Everyone awed at the girls, they looked beautiful!
A rush of excitement went over the hall as the doors were closed once more. The traditional wedding march song began to play, and ever so slowly the doors were opened by the attendants. The Queen looked like an angel, dressed in white. Her beautiful long cape flowing behind her as she slowly walked down the aisle with her father. The whole auditorium of people stood in respect, and gently clapped as she walked down the aisle.
"You're ok Fontaine. Were almost there." Her father whispered when he felt her tense.
Finally the pair reached the alter. Will gently placed his daughters hands into Finn's, then gave him a hug.
"I love you sweetheart." Will told his daughter. She teared up and smiled at him. "I love you too Daddy."
Will smiled and went to sit in the front row alongside his wife and grandson.
"Please be seated." The priest requested. Everyone say down and went quiet.
"Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to witness the joining of King Finn and Queen Fontaine of Lemuria." The priest began. The Queen shuddered nervously, but smiled when Finn gently rubbed her hands.
"Before we begin, if anyone has any reason these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace." He ordered. When no one replied, he smiled at us and continued the ceremony.
"King Finn, please present your wedding speech." The priest smiled at him.
-----------------
Finn's pov:
-----------------
I gulped nervously as the wedding doors opened and Fontaine walked out. She looked absolutely breathtaking. Her dress sat perfectly on her body, gracing her with a elegance that she suited perfectly. Her hair was done well, and even with my nerves, those angelic eyes still captivated me. I picked the perfect nickname for her.
Will told her he loved her and hugged me and then me and Fontaine waited expectantly for the priest.
"Please be seated." The priest requested. Everyone say down and went quiet. It was like they all held their breath in respect for what was happening.
"Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to witness the joining of King Finn and Queen Fontaine of Lemuria." The priest began. I felt my soon to be wife shudder nervously and I gently rubbed her hands that I was holding.
"Before we begin, if anyone has any reason these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace." He ordered. No one spoke, but God damn if someone did I'd rip them in two.
"King Finn, please present your wedding speech." The priest smiled at me. According to tradition, a woman for a Lemuria wedding, especially the Queen, could never give a speech. This was the male's job, a chance to show just how much we loved our bride. And that made me panic a little more. I took a deep breath in.
"My love, you've been my rock when things go crazy, the sea that moves me forward, the stars that guide me home, because you are my home. You blessed me with 3 beautiful children, you supported me through it all, you forgave my many mistakes, and you gave me a second chance. I love you more than life itself, and I am honoured that you chose to marry me. I will cherish our every minute together, and I will love you for all eternity." I never took my eyes off of her as I spoke, and the blush on her face made it even more worth it.
"That was beautiful your majesty. Now, for your wedding vows. Do you, King Finn of Lemuria, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, your constant friend, your faithful partner and your love from this day forward. In the presence of your family and friends, do you offer your solemn vow to be her faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. Do you promise to love her unconditionally, to support her in her goals, to honor and respect her, to laugh with her and cry with her, and to cherish her for as long as you both shall live?" The priest asked.
I looked at Fontaine and smiled. "I do."
"Thank you. Your highness, Do you, Queen Fontaine of Lemuria, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, your constant friend, your faithful partner and your love from this day forward. In the presence of your family and friends, do you offer your solemn vow to be his faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. Do you promise to love him unconditionally, to support him in her goals, to honor and respect him, to laugh with him and cry with him, and to cherish him for as long as you both shall live?"
Fontaine looked at me and blushed. For a spilt second I thought she'd say no. "I do."
"Then by the power invested in me, as the Royal priest and loyal servant to The King and Queen of Lemuria, I hereby pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The priest grinned at us.
-----------------
Fontaine's pov:
-----------------
That speech was the most beautiful thing he could have done. The priest obviously appreciated it, and it had me reeling from the honesty in his words.
"That was beautiful your majesty. Now, for your wedding vows. Do you, King Finn of Lemuria, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, your constant friend, your faithful partner and your love from this day forward. In the presence of your family and friends, do you offer your solemn vow to be her faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. Do you promise to love her unconditionally, to support her in her goals, to honor and respect her, to laugh with her and cry with her, and to cherish her for as long as you both shall live?" The priest asked.
Even though he'd given me that speech, I still had a pit in my stomach and a worry that Finn would say no.
"I do." Finn smiled, snapping me out of the worry.
"Thank you. Your highness, Do you, Queen Fontaine of Lemuria, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, your constant friend, your faithful partner and your love from this day forward. In the presence of your family and friends, do you offer your solemn vow to be his faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. Do you promise to love him unconditionally, to support him in her goals, to honor and respect him, to laugh with him and cry with him, and to cherish him for as long as you both shall live?" The priest asked me.
"I do." I answered instantly, with no hesitation in my voice. I loved this man and there was no way I'd just give up on him now.
"Then by the power invested in me, as the Royal priest and loyal servant to The King and Queen of Lemuria, I hereby pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The priest grinned at us. That was kinda creepy old man.
Finn had a slight smirk on his face as he leaned in and pressed a kiss to my lips. I knew the whole room was full of people watching us, but somehow it felt like we were the only people there. He pulled away slowly and I felt cold from the sudden loss of contact.
But the second we pulled away, the entire room erupted into cheers. People began chanting "long live the King and Queen!"
And then the priest yelled out "may I present to you King and Queen Finn and Fontaine Nekton, of Lemuria!"
Yes, Nekton. Finn didn't want anything to do with his Dad, so we opted to pick my last name. Ironic huh? Usually it's the other way around!
Finn grabbed my hand and gently ushered me down the pavilions steps, where my whole family pulled me into a massive newlywed sandwich. I kissed my husband, and pulled our children into the hug.
"C'mon, it's time for the evening meal to celebrate!" Jess and Maddy urged us.
Finn smiled and we slowly made out way our of the room. The whole city was customarily invited to the evening meal, which would give them all the opportunity to pay their respects. Anything else was held afterwards.
The first part of the evening was a customary dance. I was supposed to dance with my brother, father, and ten finally Finn. All the other couples were allowed to dance except when I danced with Finn. It was the most important part, and no one else was allowed to affect it.
Ant came up to me first and offered me his hand. I smiled at him and accepted, so we started dancing, and by doing so indicated all the other couples could begin too. Finn was dancing with Maddy which was pretty adorable.
"I'm proud of you big sis." Ant offered.
"Thanks Ant. What do you mean?" I asked, humming along with the tune for thinking out loud, the song that was playing.
"You've just..... How do I put it? You've become a really amazing person. Not that you weren't before or anything." Ant fumbled.
"Relax bro." I giggled.
"It's just, your a mom. You're married, you're the Queen an get somehow you make the time for it all and still put up with me and my annoying antics. No pun intended." Ant smirked.
"Very funny. But seriously, thank you . I guess if it weren't for you all those years ago, and covering for me when we were kids, we'd be having a very different conversation right now." I smiled cheekily.
"That's true!" Ant spun me as the song came to an end.
"I love you Fontaine." Ant whispered.
"I love you too Ant." I whispered back, squeezing his hand.
Everyone clapped as we stopped dancing. Dad stepped up next and offered his hand to me. I took it and he pulled us off into the dance.
"You look beautiful Fontaine." Dad complimented.
"Thank you Daddy." I grinned.
"You know when you first interacted with Finn, your Mom told me you'd get married one day. I didn't believe her, and look where you are now! I'm really happy for you." My Dad told me.
"That means a lot Daddy. Thank you." I whispered. The song ended and Dad eased our dance to a stop.
"Promise me you'll tell me if you need me to beat him to a pulp ok?"
"I promise." I giggled.
I got a break for a moment while Finn danced with Bella and Evie individually. It was one of the most adorable things I've ever seen. When they finished dancing, Bella and Evie made him bend down so that they could kiss his cheek, earning aw's from the whole crowd.
Finally it was my turn. Finn slowly walked over to me and bowed, then he stood up an offered me his hand. I slipped mine I to his and he pulled me into the middle of the room, and the final dancing song began to play.
~
The day we met
Frozen I held my breath
Right from the start
I knew that I found a home
For my Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow
"I love you." I whispered as we danced.
"I love you too angel. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever be able to stop me loving you. You are my world Fontaine." Finn replied.
One step closer
I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
"Do you think our siblings have plotted some embarrassing speech?" I asked.
Finn spun me around gently an then pulled me into his arms. "No, I'd say Ant did. Maddy wouldn't have." I hummed in agreement.
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything, take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this
"I loved your speech Finn. That's got to be one of the sweetest thugs you've ever said." I blushed.
"Aw angel. I'm not usually very romantic but for you, well you seem to bring that out in me. Guess that's what being in love does to you." Finn smiled cutely.
One step closer
I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed, I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed, I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Finn bowed again and kissed my hand as we finished our dance. The room lit up with cheers from the people, before we sat down at the table to begin the meal. Bella and Evie were sting on a side of either me or Finn, and had their friends with them. So when we started the meal with Finn saying grace an thanking God for the meal and for me, I breathed out a sigh if relief that my brother hadn't made a big speech yet.
The meal was well under way, and Finn was holding my hand while I held out son and snuggled up to him. Suddenly Ant tapped his glass, getting the attention of everyone in the room. He stood up and cleared his throat, adjusted his crown, and then smirked evilly.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! We want to thank you all for your presence here tonight. Me an my family spent a great deal of time helping to prepare this momentous occasion and ensure it was perfect. But as I'm sure you've realised, your newlywed King and Queen have known each other quite some time before they got married today! So I'm going to take you all on a little trip down memory lane, now how about that?" Ant asked, earning cheers from the crowd.
"Okay then! Well, it all started when we were a lot younger than this. As we shared with you, our family has been hunting for Lemuria for a very long time. So when Fontaine was 16 years old, and I was 12, we first met our future brother in law." Ant began.
"Let's not forget girlfriend hey Ant?" Jess called.
Ant blushed and glared at her. "As I was saying, at the time, Fontaine couldn't keep her hand off this poor man. Of course, given the situation, it was a big secret, and me being the awesome brother I was, helped keep it that way. Very unselfish of me don't you agree?" He asked getting a round of applause as his answer.
I felt my face go red, if this was how he started the story I dread to think how it will end.
"Haha, yeah right. You weren't unselfish and we all know it." Jess called out.
"Don't be so cranky Jess. Back to the story! Eventually our parents found out as all parents do, and so Finn ended up living with us. Now I'm sure all you parents agree, having your daughter's boyfriend living with you is not ideal. Do you know how many times we found them snuggled up an sleeping on each other? It was enough to make me sick many times." Ant pouted. The girls started laughing their heads off and my face got even darker.
"One of my most...... Disgusting memories was when my dear sister got well...... Let's say busy with her boyfriend. Mother and father were out doing work for our hunt for Lemuria, so it was just me. And it was the worst night of my life." Ant gagged. "You all agree that would be traumatic, yes?"
The crowd booed in agreement and Finn laughed a bit beside me. The girls looked confused, and Maddy and Jess looked like they were about to hurl. Mom and Dad seemed strangely calm. What's the possibility they placed bets on that too?
"Anteaus, if you wish to keep your head I suggest you tone your speech down a little." I hissed.
"You got it Queenie. So yes. Sadly, as in every love story, tragedy struck, and Finn actually kidnapped me and my parents. Not through choice though I like to think he wanted to get to know his future in-laws a bit better. Somehow, even though he was supposed to be the bad guy, Finn kept all of us safe, an never stopped asking questions about Fontaine. It was torture!" Ant whined.
Finn rolled his eyes and laughed, squeezing my hand.
"Now, we're gonna fast forward about 6 years. They day I met my niece's was the best day of my life. They are the sweetest little things. But Fontaine was mad at her beloved and treated him like rubbish, which is so mean! But eventually she came around. Now that she's here and ruling Lemuria, I guess this story is drawing to a close. But what's the point of it? First, don't take your family for granted. Second, sometimes people make stupid mistakes that you forgive because you love them. And finally, I couldn't be happier to have Finn as my new brother. Welcome to the family, and congratulations to you both." Ant smiled widely at us and started clapping. The whole room joined too and I felt really happy.
After that adorable speech, I couldn't be mad at him even though he was being an ass deliberately.
The wedding dinner finally ended, with everyone leaving a gift and wishing us the best.
I gathered my girls into a little group and we all hugged and giggle like crazy. Mom and Dad hugged me and said goodnight, then took Kai off me and let me kiss him goodbye.
"See you soon my lovely little boy. Mommy and Daddy love you ok?" I whispered kissing his forehead.
Bella and Evie hugged us goodbye, and told us that Ryuku and Eldoris would keep them company while we were gone.
"Love you Mommy! And you too Daddy. We'll see you in a week right?" Evie asked hugging her dad.
"Yes sweet pea, in a week. Miss us lots ok? Don't worry, we'll be back before you've got time to miss us." Finn gunned at her.
Bella threw her arms around my neck and told me she miss me. We tucked then into bed and then grabbed our bag for the trip we were taking. We were going to Paris for the week.
Ant followed us down into the main entrance area.
"I could kill you for that speech you know." I smirked, hugging him.
"Aw, I thought it was epic!" Ant pouted.
"Ok ok. The last bit was at least. Look after my girls ok Ant?" I smiled.
He saluted me an did a bro hug with Finn. We grabbed our bags and headed out to the arronax.
"I love you angel." Finn whispered as we went to sleep that night.
"I love you too pirate boy." I answered.
