A Jedi Wedding Part 4: The Reception


Remix stood at the DJ booth and turned on his mic as he turned the tables, turning on a fanfare type of song, and he spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the best man Obi-Wan Kenobi and the maid of honor Ahsoka Tano." Remix announced.

"Thank you, Remix." Obi-Wan said, stepping up to the microphone.

"And now, the ones we're really here for." Ahsoka said.

"The galaxy's most beloved couple, the newlyweds."

"Anakin and Padme Skywalker!" The best man and maid of honor said together, and the guests cheered as the couple entered the reception together.

And so came the maid of honor and best man's speeches. Ahsoka went first.

"I've known the couple closely for almost a year now," said Ahsoka. "But that short time feels like my whole life now. Padme, you're a strong, intelligent, and overall amazing woman I'm happy to call my friend. And Skyguy, try to listen to her when she needs something. Marriage is nothing to be reckless about."

Some laughed at Ahsoka teasing her master.

"What I'm really trying to say is... I'm very happy for both of you and wish you both the very best for the future. Now you both have two kids to love and care for too, and maybe you'll have more later if you wish it."

Then, it was Obi-Wan's turn.

"Anakin, I've known you since you were almost Boba's age." Obi-Wan began. "Admittedly, we might not have gotten along at first, and it started out mainly as the dying wish of my mentor Qui-Gon Jinn to raise you and train you. But seeing you today, I see that it was all worth it. You've grown up so much since I first met you, and I couldn't be prouder. Master Qui-Gon, may he rest in peace, would be so proud of both you and of Padme for how brave you were to come together as you have now, and choosing to raise a family together. Your children couldn't be in more capable hands."

Gabby then tugged at Obi-Wan's robe, wanting a turn to speak.

Obi-Wan held Gabby up so everyone could see her.

"Hi, everyone." Gabby said. "I just wanted to first say thank you to all of you for coming to my parents' big day. It means so much to all of us."

People clapped for the little girl starting a speech on her own.

"I've only been in this world for a little over three years, but I've gotten to see a lot of things I'll never forget, and all the greatest ones were with the people I love the most. Mommy and Daddy. When I was born, somehow, I just knew that Anakin Skywalker was my true father even before today. Since I was a baby, he's been there for me whether I was hurt, sad, or just needed a hug. He makes Mommy so happy and seeing that makes me happy. I've learned from some very wise people that it doesn't take being related to be a family. All it takes is love. And I see lots of that when I look at my parents now, like I've done for most of my life. So today, I want to wish them the best, that they'll live happily ever after, and my brother and me with them too. Thank you for listening."

The crowd cheered as the little girl ended her speech, and she ran to give her parents a big hug. And then came one last speech.

"I haven't been a Skywalker for even half a year yet," said Boba. "But I like to believe that I've grown a lot since Anakin and Padme adopted me. I fell down a dark path, but they raised a daughter who was smart and compassionate enough to believe in me when no one else would. And in doing so, they all gave me the greatest gift I could ever ask for... a second chance to have a family and become a better person. And for that, I want to thank them and wish them the very best in every day of the rest of their lives."

Boba also gave a hug to his parents, and people raised their glasses to toast to the couple.

Anakin and Padme had the dance floor to themselves as it was finally time for their first dance. Remix picked a perfect song for them to dance to, which General Mareheart, who specialized in love songs, sang.

You're in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive

Anakin and Padme began to slowly waltz, and Anakin slowly turned Padme during the last verse. He pulled her closer to him as the song continued.

A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid my goodbye
And never knew
So close, was waiting
Waiting here with you
And now, forever, I know
All that I wanted
To hold you so close

As the couple danced, something magical started to happen. The flowers in the vases started to grow a little bigger, their colors getting a little brighter.

So close to reaching
That famous happy end
Almost believing
This one's not pretend
And now you're beside me
And look how far we've come
So far we are, so close

As the music played more beautifully, Anakin twirled Padme to a particular rhythm, more flowers starting to grow all around the dance floor. Bubbles also started to appear, making it look and feel like they were dancing on air or in the clouds. And as the music got a little louder, Anakin lifted Padme and spun her around and held her close as he gently set her back down.

Oh how could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now

We're so close to reaching
That famous happy end
Almost believing
This one's not pretend
Let's go on dreaming
For we know we are

Anakin twirled Padme one last time, then held her close in his arms, their foreheads touching.

So close, so close
And still so far

The couple nuzzled each other, then as the song came to an end, slowly leaned into one more kiss.

It was soon time for a dance between the groom and his daughter, and the bride and her son.

Since Gabby could barely even reach Anakin's fingers, they had to be a little creative. Which was why Gabby had Roya and Twinkle Toes help her give Anakin a few ballet lessons. And, the two of them danced like they were performing on stage, and Anakin lifted the little one in his arms like a little swan princess.

Boba, on the other hand, had a graceful waltz with his mother.

"You dance wonderfully, Boba." Padme said.

"Thanks, Mom." Boba smiled. "I had a lot of help from some friends."

Others also started dancing. Gabby and her family spotted a few sweethearts among the people dancing. Master Fisto got the nerve to ask Aayla to dance, Obi-Wan danced with Satine, the kings danced with their queens, Colden got a dance with Dracona.

Boba, however, felt nervous as he wanted to ask a very special girl to dance. Wysteria went to Boba.

"Nervous about asking Roya to dance?" The nymph princess asked.

Boba looked at Wysteria in surprise and said, "How did you-?"

"I saw the way you've been looking at her all day and every time we were all in the same place while planning the wedding."

Wysteria then made a pink lotus flower appear in her hand.

"Here. Lotuses are her favorite, and happen to be a symbol of beauty and prosperity in her kingdom." Wysteria told Boba.

Boba still looked unsure, so Wysteria gave him a push. Literally.

"Just go talk to her."

Boba nervously walked up to Roya with the lotus behind his back. His cheeks turned pink as he approached the half-genie princess, who was talking to Dracona.

"H-Hi... Roya." Boba said nervously.

"Oh, hello, Boba." Roya said. "You did great out there. Your dancing has really improved a lot."

"Thanks." Boba scratched his head nervously. "I... I heard you like lotuses, and I found this one and thought of you."

Boba presented the flower to Roya, who accepted it.

"Oh. Thank you, Boba. That's so sweet." Roya sniffed the flower and placed it in her hair.

"I was wondering... would you like... would you...uh?"

Boba knew what he wanted to say, but for some reason found himself very unable to say it. He couldn't explain why, but when he looked at Roya, he started to feel this odd sensation running through his body. It was as though there were something about Roya's beautiful skin, silky hair, and beautiful eyes that made her so attractive to him. But it wasn't just her appearance. It was her sense of fashion, her intelligence, and the way she had both a sweet side and a feisty side that showed she was not a girl to mess with.

"Would I what?" Roya asked.

"Would you dance with me?" Boba said, getting it out quickly, but covering his mouth as he wondered if he made the right choice.

Roya smiled and said, "I'd be delighted to dance with you, Boba."

"Hey, Remix. What do you say we show everyone our little surprise?" Carousella said, stepping up on stage.

"Let's pump this party up!" Remix said, mixing the turn tables and magically tossing Carousella a microphone to begin singing a special song to pump up the beat on the dance floor for everyone.

Love is in bloom

A beautiful bride, a handsome groom
Two hearts becoming one
A bond that cannot be undone because

Love is in bloom
A beautiful bride, a handsome groom
I said love is in bloom
You're starting a life and making room
For us

Your special day
We celebrate now, the only way
Your friends are all right here
Won't let these moments disappear because

Love is in bloom
A beautiful bride, a handsome groom
I said love is in bloom
You're starting a life and making room
For us

It was soon time to cut the wedding cake. It was a beautiful five-tier cake with light green frosting, and it was decorated with patterns of leaves as well as purple flowers. Strawberry Sundae insisted she make a cake that was extra unique to the couple. That was what made her baking so special. She based the flavor of each tier as well as the decorations on what she got from Padme and Anakin's relationship. Chocolate to represent the passionate sweetness of their love, vanilla to represent the simplicity of how Anakin didn't need to do much for Padme to adore him the way she did, strawberry to represent the fresh and wonderful spirit of Padme who was no damsel in distress, lemon cake to represent that despite the sour obstacles that would dare attempt to tear the couple apart, they always found a way to turn things sweet again, and butterscotch... just because Anakin and Padme fell in love with it together.

And the decorative design on the cake was representative of the time Anakin and Padme went on a picnic together on what became their first date.

When the couple cut the cake, the room filled with laughter as Anakin got more cake on his face than in his mouth, and not because Padme decided to play a trick where she smeared the cake on him.

"Oh, Daddy." Gabby said, wiping her father's face, like he used to do when she was a baby. "I'm only three and I already have to take care of you."

Anakin did get a little mischievous though and placed a little frosting on Gabby's nose just to mess with her. And the little one tried to lick it off, but couldn't reach her tongue that high. People found it adorable and amusing. Memoria's sister Esther made sure she got a picture of all the best family moments.

Finally, there came the moment a lot of women were waiting for.

"Alright," said Padme. "All single girls get ready."

Padme turned around and got ready to toss her bouquet, all single girls getting ready. Even the female kids joined in just for fun. And up the bouquet went.

"I got it, I got it!" Ahsoka exclaimed, jumping up a little and grabbing the flowers, but falling into Captain Rex, knocking both of them to the floor.

Ahsoka landed on Rex's stomach, and the two ended up looking right into each other's eyes. Both of them were blushing like crazy. Rex was almost as red as Ahsoka was orange.

"Talk about falling for someone." Carousella chuckled.

The couple eventually got ready to leave for their honeymoon, which meant the children would get to spend a few days more with their grandparents, who were happy to let the children stay with them while their parents were away. Of course, the couple didn't forget to give their children final hugs and kisses before they left. And thus, this wedding began a new change that would change not only their family, but the rest of the galaxy forever.

That song for the first dance was "So Close" by Dan McLaughlin from Enchanted. So romantic. I dream it'll be the first dance I have with my future husband someday. And the one Carousella sang was "Love is in Bloom" from My Little Pony A Canterlot Wedding.
