Finally realizing their love, John and Linda knew that right away, their love would last forever, and in realizing that, they got married on the first full moon of the fall season.
It was a crisp fall night back on earth. They had just come back from the hell that was Halo and the raid on the Unyeilding Hyrumphant.
The church itself was rumoured to be where Aphrodite first did a wedding ceremony between a man and a woman. Both John and Linda though it was an appropriate place to go.
The church was decorated in a simple red and blue colouring scheme. The pews were decorated with simple white bows and lace that complimented the colour schemes. The aisle was laid with your traditional red carpet. The church was laid out in your typical first roman era architecture, with white marble pillars, tastefully decorated with soft silk ribbon. The Altar had the flag of the UNSC draped over top.
Back in the dressing room, straightening his tie, John looked nervously at Fred, and said, “I never knew marriage could be so nerve wracking.”
Nodding, Fred replied, “Hey, you will be fine, you’ve faced death for goodness sakes… c’mon, marriage will be easy.”
"Easy for you to say" John muttered.
In the Ladies room, Linda was straightening out her dress, when Cortana showed up on the holographic pad. “Cortana… how do I look?” Linda asked, twirling around, her skirt billowing.
“Dear, you look wonderful. John’s a very lucky man” Cortana replied, her hologram sitting on the Holopad beside Linda. "Just do me one favor... please."
Looking at Cortana, Linda frowned. "Anything. you know that"
Looking into Linda's eyes, Cortana leaned forward and whispered "Take care of him. Love him."
Smiling, tears rolling down her cheeks, Linda just smiled and nodded, and grabbed Cortanas holographic hands... "I will."
Soon, it was time for the ceremony to begin. There was only a select few people there: Cortana was Linda’s bridesmaid, Fred, John’s best man, Will and Sergeant Johnson, all decked out in his full white uniform, who was also doing the ceremony.
“Ahem, Ladies and Gentlemen…. And you too John, are we ready to begin?” Began Johnson, enjoying his joke. “But seriously.”
Gathering his speech, Johnson looked at John and Linda, and smiled. “Today, we are gathered here to bear witness to the unification of two fine people.” Began Johnson. “If there is any reason to why these two people should not be married, please speak now, or shut your trap!”
“Mmhmm, that’s what I thought!” said Johnson as he heard the dead silence in the church.
Then looking seriously at John and Linda, He first turned to John. “John, you are a hell of a man, you’ve done everyone here proud. Will you take that lovely woman standing beside you to be your wife? To love her? To help her, and be with her?” asked Johnson.
Looking at Linda, he smiled, and replied, “I do.”
“Linda, you have kept john safe from harm in many battles, its obvious of your care for him. Will you love him? Help him, and be with him?” asked Johnson.
Turning, Linda gazed into the bright eyes of John, and said, “I do.”
“Then by the power vested in me by the UNSC, I pronounce you husband and wife! Go on, kiss that lovely lady!” Crowed Johnson, smiling from ear to ear.
Smiling, John placed his hands on her veil, and lifted it, revealing the loveliest face John could ever imagine. Wrapping his arms around her, he slowly and softly kissed her, feeling the same passion that he felt when they had first kissed, their lips entwining in a mutual agreement, never to leave each other.
After the ceremony, the reception was held at a hotel conference room, rented out for the nights festivities.
There was your traditional Dance, food, and the tradition boquet throw. But all too soon is was over. Everyone said their good nights, Cortana transferred herself to a data chip and went back with Johnson.
Arriving back at their hotel room they rented, John put the luggage down at the side of the bed and looked at Linda, taking her into his arms and twirled her around twice.
"So." He began. "Here we are."
"Yes. Here we are" Linda said, smiling, her eyes shining brightly.
"no matter what happens Linda..." John started.
"Shh. For one night. We are here. Lets make the most of it." Linda said, putting a finger to his lips.
Nodding, John wrapped his arms around her waist, looked into her deep emerald eyes, and smiled.
"I love you"
