Here you go, Raimundo and Kimiko's wedding. I know that no one actually asked for it but I figured since I already wrote it, I might as well post it - I couldn't resist! I know it's a good bit shorter than the other chapters but that's 'cause it's the epilogue!

Enjoy!

Epilogue

Raimundo fidgeted nervously with his three Best Men – Clay, Omi and Aidan – at his side. "Why are you so nervous?"

Raimundo raised his eyebrows at Aidan's comment. "This is my wedding. To Kimiko." He enunciated each phrase and Aidan rolled his eyes.

"I know that, but-"

"He wants it to be perfect." Clay added, grinning.

"Come on, Raimundo, look around! It's amazing." He threw out his arm to emphasise his point.

They were on the temple grounds at night on the 29th of December and they had picked the date well. Snow had fallen during the day and there was now a thin layer of snow on the ground. The area around the seats and the altar was lined with little floating lanterns, with the symbols of their elements, the same symbols on the birthmarks on their shoulders, cut out or emblazoned on them alternatively.

There had been initial concerns expressed by Keiko, the Maid of Honour, when she had learnt that the wedding was to take place outside, at night, in the winter, and she had been afraid that it would be ruined by everyone wearing coats but as Kimiko said "What kind of Xiaolin Dragon of Fire would I be if I couldn't do something as simple as keep the guests at my wedding warm without melting the snow?"

Raimundo smiled as he saw the winter wonderland around them. This wedding was everything the two of them had been hoping for. He could see his parents and all of his siblings sitting in the front row and the youngest, Alejandro, waved at him excitedly. Chuckling, he waved back until his attention was drawn to the back of the room by the sound of the door opening and the music beginning.

As Keiko glided down the aisle, his nerves grew again. What if Kimiko didn't like it? What if she changed her mind? What if he got tongue tied? What if…

His worries melted away as Kimiko came into sight on her father's arm. He stared at her with what he was sure he would be a sappy smile on his face, but he didn't care. The love of his life was flying towards him, looking like an angel. Her dress was simplistic but amidst the snow, it really seemed to shine, making her glow more than ever. It was strapless and floated to the ground and around her feet and she wore it with an elegance that he was sure no one else could have. Her ebony curls were in an elegant twist, similar to the one she had worn when they retrieved the Golden Tiger Claws, with a few strands framing her face and falling to sit on her shoulders. The only jewellery around her neck was his medallion, she had replaced the string it usually hung on with a thin chain for this occasion as she had refused to take it off.

The smile on her face filled Raimundo with joy and as she reached him and they both turned to Master Fung, who was performing the ceremony, he reached out and twined his fingers with hers.

When they reached the vows, they recited them, looking deep into each others eyes, their minds reaching out to each others and promised, upon Dashi's grave, to obey the vows. And when Master Fung asked if he took Kimiko to be his lawfully wedded wife, he didn't hesitate to say "I do." Kimiko smiled at him as she heard his thought of 'Damn straight, I do!' and repeated it when it was asked of her.

Dojo brought the rings before them and without their eyes leaving the others', they placed them reverently on the others' finger.

Then when Master Fung announced them husband and wife, Raimundo pulled Kimiko in for a gentle kiss; their first in their new life together as the Xiaolin Dragons of Wind and Fire: husband and wife.

That's my idea of what their wedding should be like and personally, I find it really cute - don't know if that's just me, but anyway...

If you're wondering about the comment about the lanterns, my versions of the Xiaolin Dragons have birthmarks on their right shoulders - the symbols that came up when they called out their elements in the first series. I list all of the things that my versions have on my profile if you want to read.

Awww, this story was fun to write, but now, I shall focus on writing 'Somebody Save Me' of which I've only got a couple of chapters left, and then 'Journey to the Past' before writing the sequal to 'The First Step'. Any ideas for a title? I'm begging here!
