Merida and Hiccup’s Wedding day-part 4

Chapter 4

Hiccup's heart was pounding so hard, he thought it would burst out of his chest. Hiccup and Toothless slowly but surely walked down the aisle, nodding and lifting his arm in a small wave to the guests. The Viking may have looked fine but inside he was panicking and sweating a little underneath his helmet. The last time that Hiccup remembered being this nervous was when he was in the killing ring with a Monstrous Nightmare.

"Ok Hiccup, this is a peaceful day, one of the best days of your life" he told himself. "You've been waiting for this day and nothing is going to go sour it" he was caught up in his thoughts, he felt something brush his arm and he jumped a little. Hiccup glanced down to see Toothless giving him a gummy smile; Hiccup mirrored the smile and then sighed.

"Thanks Bud" Hiccup whispered and patted Toothless on the head before continuing down to the altar. The ceremony was set on a large flagstone in the middle of the forest. A few huge stones stood in an arch, colourful flowers decorated the stones down the aisle. The guests were seated on wooden benches, with tartan blankets laid on them. Scots on the left and Vikings on right, the guests were chatting amongst themselves and the Royal Guard Dragons stood on the outside. A few years ago, the Queen had knighted Hiccup and the Dragon Riders giving them the official name "The Royal Dragons Riders" protectors of DunBroch and dragons had been given a medal which they all wore proudly attached to their harnesses.

Hiccup and Toothless reached the altar; in front of them was the priest. All the groom could do was look over his shoulder at the guests and while he waited for his bride.

Meanwhile Merida rode on Angus who had been groomed by Astrid and Ruffnut, his coat was glossy and his maen and tail had been plaited. Merida with her mother, her maid of honour Astrid, Ruffnut and a few of the hand maidens, all made their way to the ceremony. Merida took her time enjoying the forest, seeing the sun shining and lighting up the leaves. She could feel butterflies in her stomach; Merida softly stroked and patted Angus as they continued.

"Hey are you OK Mer?" Merida heard Astrid say as she turned to see her friend.

"I'm fine, just a bit uneasy" she confessed.

"I bet Hiccup is just as nervous" the blonde said.

"Aye, I know once it is done we can relax".

"So, any ideas on your honeymoon?"

"Definitely exploring, but not exactly sure where we are going, wherever the wind take us", Merida explained. She and Hiccup loved travelling and Hiccup had drawn new places on map. They hadn't done this for a long time so they were looking forward to exploring again.

"That sounds perfect for you two" Astrid said, the girls chatted for a while until they saw Fergus waving to the group.

"What took you all so long? Were you battling bears or mad men, he asked laughing.

"Well you should know, the bride is usually late" Elinor said. The King reached and helped Merida off her horse.

"Oh, your look stunning, lass" Fergus complimented his daughter. Merida's cheeks pinked as she blushed, she wasn't use to being compliment upon her appearance.

"We'll go ahead" Astrid spoke. She and the rest of group left to take their seats.

"Dad, are you ok?" Merida asked, for she could see her father crying.

The Bear King wiped his tears away before giving a kiss on his daughters forehead "Sorry lass but it feels like I'm saying goodbye forever"

"You know very well, I'm not leaving. I would miss you all too much" she said smiling. Even if Merida said it light heartedly, she really would miss her beloved family so much.

"Well mi wee darling, when you're ready we'll head over" Fergus said holding out his arm to the bride but she hesitated, Merida would like her Dad to walk her down the aisle but a thought came to her at that moment.

"Is something wrong Merida?" Her dad asked concerned for her.

"No, it is just...I'd like mum to walk with me she said looking from her father to her mother.

Both of them glanced at each other, they were shocked, but then they silently agreed it was right for Merida to have her wish.

"Of course love, I would love to" Elinor softly replied, Merida mouth curled in a half smile before facing her dad.

"Are you ok with that Dad" the princess asked.

"Of course Merida. To be honest, I'm nervous. I was afraid of doing something too embarrassing you" Fergus revealed as he rubbed his neck.

Merida softly laughed and kissed his cheek "Thank you". She and the Queen stood where they were and the King walked and took his seat next to his sons. Some of the guests murmured to each other, wondering why Fergus isn't with the bride?

"Everything is fine, Nothing to worry about" Hiccup overheard his future father-in-law reassure the triplets on what's going on.

This made the groom more worried, he thought something had happened to Merida, was she ok?, He wished he knew what was going on!, he wished he could check to see if she was alright.

Just as he was thinking the worst, the musicians started up. As the bagpipers played, all of dragons tried to control themselves to stay calm, even if they wanted nothing more than to stop the noise.

The guests all stood up and looked down the aisle but Hiccup didn't turn he was frozen and staring straight ahead.

After a few long moments, the bride and her mum appeared. Toothless purred at the groom and nudged him to look around. Hiccup slowly turned... and his worries and fears disappeared as his eyes focussed on his beautiful princess. Merida was completely stunned when she saw him, her dragon rider that she loved. The world around them went hazy and it just the two of them, as they smiled at each other all fears and anxieties melted away. Hiccup couldn't help but admire his bride, to him, Merida was always beautiful and yet had never looked more beautiful, perfect in fact. Merida always thought Hiccup was handsome but now, standing there, he looked more like the hero she always knew he was.

Merida didn't realise that she was squeezing her mum's arm but Elinor didn't mind. The queen could tell how excited the princess was at that moment.

Slowly but surely, the bride and her mum reached the altar. The groom held out his hand Merida placed her hand into his. Elinor smiled even if she felt downhearted as her daughter slip out from her arm and joined to Hiccup.

Elinorcouldn't help feeling like she was losing Merida but it was obvious they were a good match, their eyes were just for each other they lent forward and touched foreheads..

"Hello beautiful" he whisper to his future wife.

" Hello" she returned smiling shyly, forgetting about the hundreds of eyes watching them.

They both heard someone clear their throat "Excuse me your majesties, may we begin?" The priest asked them.

"Sorry" the couple said at the same time. They both looked at each other and giggled; Merida gave her flowers to Astrid (who was her maid of honour). Soon everyone was seated and the wedding began.

"Dearly beloved" the priest began "We are here on this glorious day to bring this man and this woman together in marriage, not only to join this young couple for life but also to bond two lands which they have brought together by their love and their bravery" as he was saying this aloud, the bride and groom held hands and gently squeezed them together.

"Before we begin, does anyone object to this union, if so, speak now or forever hold your peace?" The priest asked, to his surprise, he could see both Hiccup and Merida had shut their eyes. "Excuse me your majesty" the priest gently asked in confusion. Hiccup opened one eye; he glanced at his bride, who was doing the same thing he was. He thought maybe she was as nervous as he was.

The bride could feel Hiccup gently squeeze her hand, it made her open one eye and saw that he had one eye open as well. The two smiled and burst out laughing, some of the guests watchedthem in confusion but those who knew them well joined in.

"I was a wee bit nervous" Merida confessed.

"Me too, I thought the world would end" Hiccup replied.

"So did I" the two laughed again, feeling relieved.

After this, they faced the priest and he continued "before we start the rituals, the bride and groom have wrote their own vows; making their promises to showing their love"

With that, Merida and Hiccup each pulled out a piece of princess could see her hands shaking as she held the paper, it took 10 practises to make it perfect, but now reading it aloud and seeing the hundred people of suddenly felt scary.

I just have to imagine it's just me and Hic, Merida told herself. After taking a few deep breaths in and out, she started by saying "Min elskede kærlighed, min ædle kriger, min blide prins, min drage rytter"

Hiccup grinned when his bride spoke in Norse. Merida paused returning the smile before continuing, " Before we met I'd never thought about love, in fact, I wasn't interested in it, because of this I don't know the first thing about love or relationships or things like that. Many people who know me well and that I am not perfect and I have done thing I am not proud of, but it's given me a chance to find love in my own time, little did I know that love would come sooner than I thought. You taught me how to train dragons, how to fly and most importantly how to love. We had climbed mountains, cross oceans and touched the sky together. I wished we'd met when we were younger because after hearing how hard things were; it made me want to be you through your trials. I know you are not the strongest, the hardest or... But you are the kindest, the smartest and the bravest, braver than I'll ever be.

I knew when your father past... It must have been the hardest thing for you to go through. But I remember something your mother said to you, she said, you have a heart of a chief and a soul of a dragon and I believe it is true. I can't imagine life without you and I couldn't ask for a better man. There may be a thousand Vikings...but there is only one Hiccup".

As Merida finish reading, she was surprised to hear chatting and cheering from her friends. Her eyes glanced at her parents who smiled proudly. The bride returned the smile before she felt her groom kiss her on her forehead and wiped her tears that ran as she read out her vows.

Now it was Hiccup turn, if Merida was nervous, he was 10 times more nervous. He could feel his mouth turning into sandpaper and he was sweating. He thought he would end up fainting if his bride hadn't gently placed her hand on his. Hiccup could see a reassuring look from Merida, this had a calming effect, when he felt calmer and he could think more clearly. He always felt stronger with Merida by his side.

He took a deep breath before he began."I tried a lot of ways to begin this...after which I decided to start here. I know in the past you never liked the idea of marriage in fact I thought I never had a chance, I wanted you to make your own choices and choose your own path but you picked me and I feel like luckiest man alive. Although sometimes I wonder if I am your boyfriend or your babysitter."

Hiccup heard a couple of people chuckle from the crowd including Merida, at his little joke.

"Even if you show a tough exterior, you are so much more than others see. You are determind, feisty, strong-willed, passionate and fearless. You are these and more, now I can't imagine my life without you. For most of my life, I felt I was alone...but when I met you, that all changed. There are so many things I love about you, I love the fire that burns inside your heart and I never want that go out. I will forever be in love with the girl not the crown.

In his mind, Hiccup felt relieved, he had done it without messing it up and smiled at his bride who smiled brightly back at him and the crowd cheered.

"You did great Hic" Merida whispered to him.

After the guests settled and quietened, the priest spoke, "And now that the bride and groom have said their vows to each, it's time to for the sacrifice", he picked up a bowl and a dagger and move toward Toothless. The Night Fury began to back away, he didn't know why the priest had a dragger or what was he going to do with it.

"Toothless it'sok, it's ok Bud" Hiccup said offering reassurance to his friend,

"Did you tell him?" Merida asked,

"I thought you had" Hiccup replied patting and rubbing the dragon's head. The two looked at each other, then at Toothless, it was a big risk and both wished they told him about this tradition, but better late than never. The princess knelt at Toothless' level and gently stroked him.

"Toothless, it's tradition to have a sacrifice to bless a marriage, but we're doing a living sacrifice" Toothless charged from fear and anger to calm and confusion "you'll be a sacred creature, we could of had a sheep or a chicken or even a bear but we both took the risk of having you as you are so important to us".

"That right Bud" Hiccup said, kneeling next to his bride. "You're special to both of us so we wanted you to have a big part on our day, by doing this you'll be like a sort of God".

Hearing this Toothless gave a huge grin, straightened up and puffed out his chest. He was obviously feeling quite proud of himself.

"Ok Toothless, don't get big headed" Hiccup murmured to him, which made the Night Fury gave a look and nudged him playfully.

The priest slowly stepped toward the dragon "we just need some of your blood to complete this part" he replied but Toothless wasn't having it.

"Please Bud, do it for me, do it for us" Hiccup asked his best friend maintaining eye contact. He could see his dragon thinking, and then turned to the bowl and spat, a lot of spit in it to the bowl. He then gave a look as if saying "here have this instead".

The priest looked disgusted but he had to go with it. Using a spoon, he flicks the dragon spit on the couple. Both of them chuckled at this, they where use to this slime so it didn't bother them. The priest then flicked it over the families and guests, some were in the spirit of things others were not so amused.

"And with the..ur..dragon's..ew.. this will bless not only the couple but those who have witness this day", the priest managed to say. He then beckoned the King forward; he was holding a black fur cloak which had a metal clasp with the clan DunBroch symbol engraved on it. Fergus placed it on Hiccup's shoulders and fastened it.

"I'm honoured to finally have you be member of the clan" the King said patting the young man shoulder. Hiccup gave a warm smile to his father in law before he pulled his sword from his scabbard to continue with the next tradition.

He held the old weapons with both hands and held it in front of his wife to be. "This sword has be in my family for decades" Hiccup said aloud "I give this to you to give to our future son for his wedding day".

Merida nodded and carefully took it. Just then a young maid came to the bride's side holding something wrapped in a tartan cloth. Merida thanked her before turning back to her Viking.

"I give this to symbolise the protection and trust from me and for our children" she said and revealed in the cloth was a sword. The sword shined like the sun on the blade. The handle was shape like dragon. Merida herself had designed the sword and Gobber had crafted it for her. The wings could be folded in and the blade had been engraved in Norse "The brave dragon"

"It's a bit fancy of my taste" Hiccup laughed a little.

"Well. I did go overboard with the design but I could never match your Dragon Blade" Merida admitted.

Hiccup gently took the sword and kissed on her forehead "I love it anyway Mer, I'll use it on special occasions and think of you and today when I do".

The two held up the sword as the priest untied a ribbon from Toothless, not only was the Night Fury the best man and living sacrifice but he was also ring bearer. He carried the rings on his neck, the couple crossed their weapons before the priest placed the rings each point of the swords. He then tide a long strip on cloth around they hands.

The bride could feel her groom softly stroke his finger on her hand, the two shared look as the priest spoke out "May the gods bless these young souls, help them though their trouble like a ships through the storm moving to calm seas, give them memories that they will cherish and young ones to bring them joy and love, bring them and their families and friends together to support and love one and other endless for the rest of their days".

After this speech, he took the rings and undid the cloth. Merida and Hiccup's hands were starting to ache. They each took the other's ring and faced one another again. First Hiccup slipped Merida's ring on her finger then Merida did the same to Hiccup..

"Now by the power vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife." The bride and the groom looked each other, both feeling overjoyed as the priest spoke those words.

"You may kiss the bride", Hiccup had began to lean in, when Toothless squeezed in between them and began to lick Merida's face thoroughly.

"Toothless, that's supposed to be my job" Hiccup said even though he couldn't hide his chuckle. Merida was laughing at being licked; she was used to this so it didn't bother her. The dragon stopped and hung his head, purring quietly as if to say sorry. The princess and prince looked at the dragon, Toothless gave them both a huge toothless grin.

"It's ok he just got caught up in the mood" Merida said sweetly but then was surprise when Hiccup held her and dipped her down. He flash a smirk before he kissed his bride. Merida smiled then continued the kiss wrapping her arms around his neck, they didn't even hear the crows thundering applause.

After enjoying their long awaited kiss, the groom straightened up to see his bride who stood up giggling and blushing. Holding each other hands, they ran down the aisle, waving to their guests. Not knowing that as the bagpipers played again Hoodfang couldn't take anymore. He grabbed one of the bagpipes, threw it on the ground and set it on fire. Luckily the servants put it out easily and no one was hurt.

When they were on their own away from the wedding party and out of sight from onlookers Hiccup picked Merida up, spun her around before setting her down, they held each other close, sighing with relief.

"I can't believe it, we're married" Merida finally said as she looked up at Hiccup.

"I know" Hiccup replied "I'm just glad it's over"

Merida press her nose gently to his "me too. I felt like being sick a couple of times" she admitted letting her fingers link into his.

It felt to them like they haven't hugged for years even know they had yesterday.

"Now we can enjoy the rest of the day now that the hard part is done" He said.

"Not just today but of the rest of our lives. I just never thought this day would come", Merida added.

"Yeah me too, Mer"

"Mmm"

"How long have we known each other".

Merida began to remember that fateful day. It started like any other day until storm clouds rolled in. Merida was about to ride home when she saw something falling out of the sky. She rode toward it to see if she could help, she reached a clearing and was shocked to find a real dragon and then she saw a young boy. She pulled him over to the nearest tree and hope he would wake up which he did, little did Merida know that this boy would be her true love and that she would marry to him today.

"Let's see, you were 15 and I was 16 so...8 years",

"Really, it doesn't feels that long but every minute has beeen amazing with you" Hiccup said before giving his wife a loving kiss. Merida returned the kiss as Toothless and Angus came over and watched them.

"I love you, my Scottish Queen" Hiccup spokend softly after they their separated.

"I love you too, my Dragon King" Merida repeated she did not never want to let go.

"Maybe we should go back home" Hiccup said "you know, just for some peace before anyone arrives" but as he moved back, his bride pressed him back into another hug.

"No, no just a wee bit longer" Merida said softly, Hiccup didn't complain and hugged for a few more treasured moments.

"Right, race you back to the castle" The Viking whisper in his princess's ear, a playful grin spread across her face.

"You're on" she replied and the pair sprinted to their friends. The horse and dragon were wondering why their riders were running but then were knew they going to race. They both mounted and raced at full speed back home. It was going to be a unique marriage.
