***SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, AFTER THE LONGEST FUGDAMN WINTER OF LIAM DE WINTER'S LIFE***
*On a bright spring morning, Sorcha was in the stone cottage where she'd slept in her old room for the last time.
She was staring at her wedding dress and debating whether she should put the damn thing on. Liam had made a snotty comment two days earlier and she hadn't spoken to him since.*

*There was Liam, leaning against the doorframe, dressed.*
"People are starting to sit down in the chapel." *He said softly. At this point he honestly couldn't remember whether she was mad at him or not.*

*She squinted at him.*
"You're not supposed to see the bride before...uh...before the, um..."
*She crossed her arms over her chest and thrust her nose into the air.*
"How many people?"

"Most of my mother's family, and there are a lot of them, your dad's family, your mum's family, Aunt Bee is there with Uncle Giles, I think, quite a lot of the other guests... my mother's having a panic attack because neither of us have shown up yet."

"Oh God, yer Mam," *she gulped, her eyes wide as she shot to her feet and began to force the dress on over her head, promptly getting a button tangled in her immaculately dressed curls, yelping as it yanked on her hair the more the tugged at it.*

"Stop pulling." *He muttered.*
*He stepped behind her and disentangled the hair from the button.*

*Sorcha finally managed to get the dress on without too much incident and turned to look for her bouquet for a moment before she glanced at Liam, catching his gaze.
A long moment passed, and then she smiled softly.*
"You look nice," *she murmured.*

*Liam, however, found himself utterly speechless.*
"You... look..." *He blinked, unable to find the proper word for her.*

*Sorcha turned beet red, self-consciously raising a hand to tug at the short sleeve of her dress.*

"... sublime." *He finished, finally regaining control of his brain.*

*She grinned, then her jaw dropped a little.*
"Jayzus, Mary an' Joseph ye shouldnae be seein' me before the weddin'!" *she grabbed him by the shoulders and shoved him out into the corridor.*
"Give t' minister t' signal an' I'll be out in a minute!"

"Sorry!" *He cried, laughing as he moved off down the hallway and to the setup in the small chapel on the grounds. He took his place next to Tony, his palms getting a little sweaty. He nodded to the priest.*

*Tony clapped Liam on the shoulder.*
"You'll be fine." *he said quietly. While most of him was glad for his friend, part of him grieved to think that he would never again be with Teleute, much less have a chance to MARRY her...*

*The musicians began to play music a moment before Sorcha appeared at the back of the church, slowly walking up the aisle towards Liam and looking frightened to death.
Shyly, she glanced up and let her gaze clash with Liam's for a moment. She felt warm all over and at last managed a genuine smile as she came to stand beside him, facing the priest.*

*He smiled like a complete idiot when she appeared, and was still doing so when they turned to face the priest.*
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the joining in Holy Matrimony ..."
**WEDDING FADEOUT**
