We had our wedding in private, but my father pressured me into doing the ceremony in public after; he doesn't know that technically we're already married. So I've been alone, all day, styled early in the morning for an evening ceremony. I can't imagine the grief Kodah and the girls gave Link. They kept trying to brush all the knots out of his tangled mess of hair whist practically dragging him away, squealing like hatchlings.

So here I am, up on one side of the altar, watching my husband walk into the room. Everybody claps and he sets something bulky down beside him, holding Zelda's arm in what is obviously a painful death grip.

Oh my goodness, Kodah wasn't kidding when she said she'd shower him in jewels. They're strung into his hair and even imbedded some into the fabric of the armour Mipha made him. He's wearing more than one set of earrings and they clink softly as he walks.

Bazz, still on duty, whispers, "Okay, everyone wants to steal your man with the way he looks right now. Hell, I might be a little gay now and I hate you for that."

I quell my laughter and stare down the aisle again.

Zelda murmurs things to Link and he sighs, glancing back at the object he left at the door. Hyrule's Queen only laughs.

Our height difference must be almost comical to watch, since everyone can see it clearly now that we're side by side: his head just barely reaches my sternum and it's adorable. Kodah catches my glance and waves with the hugest smile.

The officiant, Kapson, looks almost as excited as I feel, inhaling to prepare his long speech. "We are gathered here today to witness the unlikely binding of two souls; our lovely Prince Sidon and the Hero Link."

Link shifts a little at the mention of his name, sending a discreet glance back at that bulky object. What is it? Kapson rambles on about 'till death do ye part and other fancy things as I half-squint to try and decipher what it is.

It's made of metal. I catch Zelda's eye and she mouths, "just wait."

Kapson's voice hitches at one point, and everybody makes happy noises when he concludes his speech. I smile. I see Zelda smirk when Kapson finally says, "and you may kiss—''

Before he can finish his sentence, Link hops off the altar and stalks towards the back of the room. Everyone mumbles surprised comments but whispering becomes laughter as he grabs the object with a huff and walks back up the aisle.

Oh my Gods, it's a stepladder.

Link unfolds it in front of me and steps up so he's at more or less my height, then pulls me into the happiest kiss I've ever received in my over one hundred years of life.

This will certainly be a wedding to remember.

Everyone claps, preparing for the reception. I catch Zelda laughing her ass off in the corner.
