[How come the alarm didn't go off? Furthermore, why in Gaia's name did she allow Reno and Rude to take her off to a bachelor party THE NIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING! She had told them both to plan it a few days before so she could get up and ready with plenty of time to get to the church. But, pulling her tuxedo on while running to the church - taxis be damned - It appeared that they had ignored her words.
[Tifa's waiting for the girl, checking her watch every so often. It's such a crazy thing to be standing here on her wedding day, waiting for one of her bridesmaids... What's funnier is that Elena is even a bridesmaid to begin with.
She looks up when she hears the girl burst into the church's back entrance. She smiles.]
[Oh, but Tifa was such a wonderful friend. Not only was she waiting for Elena to show up, but Tifa had let her opt out of wearing a dress and wear a suit. Granted, the tuxedo - which matched the groomsmen - was hardly as comfortable as her uniform. But, hey, she would deal with the discomfort for her friend.]
OhmygodTifaI'msosorryIoversleptandthealarmclockdidn'tgooff! [Elena is panting, but at least the suit is on right, even if the tie is off.] Please tell me I'm not too late...
[Tifa would rather have people wear what they want at her wedding anyway. And since all the other Turks were wearing suits, she wanted Elena comfortable. She gives the girl a gentle smile, almost laughing.]
[Which is, once again, why Tifa was so wonderful. The sheer fact that she had invited Elena to even be a bridesmaid, after everything that happened. Well, perhaps that's why. Old grudges would eventually die as futures blossomed.]
Oh thank goodness. I would be utterly devastated if...[And there's a short pause.] You mean Cloud still isn't here? Do I need to send Reno or Rude out for him?
Thank you. Its hard to get that thing straight when you're running, much less when you're standing still.
[He's nervous, Rude really is, but the man gives off a blasé appearance, calm and collective as ever. In all honestly he can't believe this is happening, after everything that has gone on. The end of the world, the imminent end of the world again, the another attempt to end the world...
Mm, it's probably not best to think on it right now.
At the alter, he waits, suit a little more done up that his usual one, waiting as the congregation stands in expectancy of the bride.
[Take it easy, girl. It's not the end of the world. They've faced so much worse. So why does it feel like everything's crashing down around her?
It's not that she doesn't love him. She does. But this is a new chapter in her life, something above and beyond anything she ever expected. She's happy. She's giddy with excitement and she knows, somewhere, that Aerith is happy for her too.
She tries to still her trembling fingers by wrapping them a little tighter around the flowers in her hands. With an exhale - and a music cue - she walks in on her own and down the aisle to him.
[He's seen Tifa in her dress before- Purely by accident, he wasn't aware that his fiancee at the time was there when he and Reno had taken cover from a mild firefight getting out of hand in the nearest store. It had put a goofy grin on his face all the rest of the day and well into the next that not even Reno's teasing had been able to knock off, but here, like this, it's just like he's never seen it before.
By Shiva, she's the most beautiful thing he's ever seen.
When she's close, Rude extends his hand to her, ready as he would ever be to take the plunge like this.]
[She swallows and tries to calm herself when she gets close enough. There's something akin to a blush on her cheeks as she looks at him and she tries not to smile so much. She probably looks silly trying to hide it behind some of the flowers, too.
Tifa comes to his side and takes his hands gently, finally letting herself show how pleased she is. This is it.
She steps up to his side, turning to face him. She gives Yuffie her flowers and turns back to him. (She's so glad this is a small wedding.)]
[He tilts his head down, letting his sunglasses slide lower so that he can look at Tifa without the shades in the way. Lightly squeezing her hand, Rude keeps his gaze on her the entire time as the ceremony makes it's way though, only looking away when he needs to see their master of ceremony.
Small wedding, short as well, Rude doesn't care either way because it's bringing them closer together. And that's the reason he says, when asked,]
Because, dammit, they need a witness don't they?provenworthJune 7 2011, 23:31:57 UTC
[That sniffling sound in the background? Yes, that's Elena, who found herself so honored and privileged to be watching this. And she's hugging that box of tissues and NO YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY!]

And now she was late.]

Everything's fine. Cloud's still not here yet.
[She almost doesn't expect him to show up.]
Oh, your tie...
[She fixes it for her.]
