Three months and two weeks later.

The royal carridge pulls up to the castle and Emma and Regina get out, with smiles upon their faces.

They had just visited one of the villiages, who had welcomed them with open arms.

"I still can't believe, that my parents are finally letting me out of the castle walls" Emma says, slipping her hand into Regina's and feeling all warm and happy inside.

"I believe that was my doing" Regina says proudly, as they begin to walk to the castle doors.

"Yeah, you pushing my mom to let us out and into the world went down really well" Emma chuckled, remembering how Regina had ended up in an argument with her mother over them not being aloud out into the world. Something that Emma desperatly seeked and something Regina wanted to give her.

Flashback.

Two months ago.

"I don't want you going outside the castle Emma" Snow snapped at the dinner table.

"Why is she not aloud? there are no monsters out there your majesty" Regina said sarcastically.

"That maybe so Regina but there are a few bad people that would wish to see harm upon my family" Snow snaps.

"Don't get me wrong Snow. I know your only wanting to protect Emma but shes a grown woman now and can look after herself. Is she not to become Queen one day? and shouldnt she know the kingdom?"

Snow stared at Regina hard. She couldn't believe how Regina had come out of her shell over the last couple of weeks and it made her see that Regina was a strong woman with opinions.

"Why are you pushing this so much?"

"Because Emma wishes it. There is only so much I can tell her about the kingdom and I can see that she wants to see it for herself. Its about time she did"

Theres a pause.

"And what do you purpose? we just open the gates and she just walks out?"

"Don't be an idiot" Regina snaps then suddenly realizes she has called the Queen an idiot and goes wide eyed. While David smirks and Emma and Snow gape at her.

Regina then thinks, no I wont take that back. She can be an idiot.

"I have no intention of being an idiot Regina" Snow then says seriously "but you must respect our wishes and who we are"

"I do. I just want Emma to have want she wishes thats all"

Snow turns to Emma.

"You wish this?"

Emma nods.

Snow then sighs.

"Okay. We have villiage visits coming up soon maybe you can go on some of them"

Emma beams.

"Really?"

"Yes really" Snow chuckles.

"And Regina will come with me?"

Snow looks to Regina.

"Of course. Who else is going to look out for you and fight your corner" she smirks.

"I wouldn't want it any other way" Emma says, looking to Regina with a goofy grin and happiness bubbling up inside of her.

"Good" Regina replies with a smile of her own and soaks happily in Emma's new happiness.

Flashback end.

"She caved" Regina smirks and Emma chuckles.

"Yeah and I'm really glad" she then replies and squeezes Regina's hand, as they walk into the castle to find Snow waiting for them.

"How was your visit?" Snow asks patiantly.

"Great" Emma beamed "I've never seen such wonderful things"

Snow nods.

"Were the people plesant to you both?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't they be?" Emma frowns.

"Well we did announce a few days week back that you both are to be married"

"And?" Emma asks confused.

"Your mother thinks the people would be against our union dear" Regina then explains to Emma. Who shakes her head.

"Well, I know not everyone can be happy for us" she huffs "but what we saw today was nothing but kindness adn people wanting to speak with both of us"

"I'm glad to hear that"

"Are you?" Emma asks seriously, testing her mother and Snow looks at her in disbelief.

"Of course I am sweetheart. Have I not pushed for the council to approve of your union?"

Emma sighs and rubs her forehead.

"I have openly supported you both"

"Sorry" Emma then says "I know you have..I just cant bare the thought of people not accepting us, you know"

Snow frowns.

"Lets not care what other people think my love. All that matters is our happiness and our parents accept us and thats all that matters"

Emma then smiles and nods, before leading Regina away towards to garden and Snow shouts out "DON'T FOREGET, YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR MEAUREMENTS TAKEN FOR YOUR WEDDING DRESS" and the blonde princess then rolls her eyes and shouts back "I WONT FORGET MOM, BECAUSE OUR SEAMSTRESS IS GOING TO BE MY WIFE" and she then chuckles, which makes Regina chuckle and they then disapear out into the garden. where they sit upon the bench and look outwards.

"Where is your father today?" Emma asks.

"He is in his chamber, his gets quiet tired after all the exercises he does now"

"He shouldnt push himself to hard"

"Thats what I keep telling him but he says he wants to be fit and healthy so he can see his daughter live a happy life"

"Thats sweet"

"Indeed"

They sit in silence for a long moment. Holding hands and finding comfort.

"Our wedding is one month today" Emma then says, looking to Regina with a smile.

"Yes" Regina smiles widely at the thought and it makes Emma feel all fuzzy and always wanting to see that smile.

"Are you nervous?" Emma then asks, biting her lip.

"No. Are you?" Regina quirks an eyebrow.

"Maybe a little because were going to have all these people staring at us"

Regina smirks.

"Your have to try and ignore them dear. Concentrate on me"

"Oh I will be" she chuckles and Regina rolls her eyes playfully and squeezes the blonde princesses hand affectionatly.

A month later and after much organizing.

Regina stood in the sewing room, looking at herself through the mirror.

She is wearing a long white dress with beautiful lacing around the neckline and shes also wearing peep toe white shoes. Her hair is tied up with a pin and loose strands falls around her face.

"Oh sweetheart, you look so beautiful" her father beams. As she stands near her in his fitted suit, watching his daughter.

Regina takes a deep breath.

"Thank you daddy"

"Are you ready?" he asks.

"Yes"

"Okay" he turns and heads out, making sure that everyone is ready and then returns and holds out his arm.

"Let go sweetheart. Your beautiful Princess is waiting" he then tells her and she feels her heart leap at the words.

"Oh and dont forget this" he says, picking up the small bunch of flowers.

"Thank you" Regina says softly and takes them in her free hand and they walk out and towards the garden. Where there is a mariquee and just beyond that is rows of white filled seats on either side. Seperated by a long white draping fabric upon the ground leading to the front, where a pastor is waiting.

Regina then takes another deep breath and all she can think is Emma. I want to see Emma but first, her father leads her out into the garden and the music starts to play.

She smiles, as they music starts and she can feel her heart beating loud within her chest. She swallows thickly, not wanting to be anxious but this is a big occassion. She is marrying the princess and she couldnt be happier about it and yet, she feels she wont calm down until she actually see's Emma.

Henry then leads her down the aisle. Smiling happily and nodding at guests. Who consist of staff and council members.

Regina then squeezes his arm and he looks back to her and whispers "Your doing fine, enjoy it"

Once at the front the music stops and the pastor greets Regina and Henry greets Snow, before taking his sit on Regina's side and Regina stands there and looks anxiously back down the aisle. Waiting.

Suddenly, the music begins again and Regina inhales sharply, as she see's golden blonde curls come into view. She doesn't even take notice of David, who is holding on to Emma's arm.

Emma is biting her lip as she walks but as soon as she locks eyes with Regina, she breaks out in a wide grin and her eyes go soft and she looks at Regina in pure awe, as she's lead down the aisle.

Regina meanwhile, feels everything fade away and all she see's is her beautiful Emma. In her long white simple dress and white peep toes like Regina's. She hadnt wanted to where a dress but her mother insisted and she also knew, that Regina would love her in one and anything Regina wants she would galdly give.

Regina then feels her heart swell and butterflies take flight, as Emma gets closer to her.

They keep their gazes locked. Until Emma has to break away from her father and she kisses his cheek and he then moves to Regina and kisses her cheek before going to where Snow is standing.

Emma then turns her gaze back to Regina and smiles bashfully.

"Hey" she mumbles, as they reach their hands out to hold eachothers.

"You look absoulutly stunning" Regina tells her breathlessly and Emma starts to blush and goes all gooey.

"And you look breathtaking" she replies with a shy smile, that melts Regina's heart.

The pastor then clears his throat, gaining their attention and they look to him and he then begins to speak "We are here today. To witness the union of Emma White and Regina Mills..."

A while later, everyone is watching the scene in front of them with smiles, as anyone can see the pure adoration both Regina and Emma have for eachother as the look at one another with affection and as if they are they only ones in the world.

Until Emma puts the white gold ring on Regina's finger and then kisses her hand, whilst the pastor says "Do you Emma White, take Regina Mills as your lawful wedded wife to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.?" and Emma says "I do" with a wide smile.

Regina then just stares in awe and then puts the other ring upon Emma's finger. As the pastor says "And do you Regina Mills take Emma White as your lawful wedded wife to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.?"

Regina nods and says "I do" with a widening smile and then the pastor says "I now declare you Wife and Wife and you may kiss your bride"

Emma grins goofily at this and looks shyly at all the people watching and then back to Regina. Who rolls her eyes playfully and pulls Emma into her and kisses her so deeply, that Emma forgets that everyone is watching and she closes her eyes and enjoys every moment. Before Regina pulls away and whispers "Later"

Emma then looks momentaily dazed but is shook out of it, by her parents and Henry wishing them well and then their guests.

"Shall we make our way to the marquee?" David then says after a long moment and Snow nods and guides everyone over to the marquee. Winhich has round tables within and has the finest table cloth and cultury upon them and staff ready waiting, to bring out the food and musicans are ready to play their instuments.

"Your parents really have gone to alot of trouble" Regina says in awe, as she looks around, watching people make their way to their seats, while standing hand in hand with her wife.

"I'm their only daughter, so I guess they only get to do this once"

Regina nods and see's her father talking with one of the staff.

"I have never seen my father happier" she then says, watching him and Emma looks over and grins.

"Yeah, I think he has a soft spot for that one"

Regina's eyes then widen and she looks at Emma in surprise.

"Don't tell me you haven't noticed" Emma chuckles.

"Well..no"

"Oh my god Regina"

"Don't oh my god me"

Emma laughs.

"Is this our first fight as a married couple?" she then asks and Regina huffs.

"Come on Regina" she nudges her shoulder "I bet you my piece of desert that Henry asks her to dance later"

Regina thinks about this for a brief moment.

"Okay your on" she smirks and they then walk over to the front of the marquee, where they sit in front of all the tables and talk to one another contently. While there is a fuss going on around them and once its time for their first dance, they step into the middle of the marquee and Emma slides her hand in Regina's and puts her other hand on her waist and says "Ready?"

"Yes"

"Good"

Emma then moves and before she knows it, Regina has taken the lead and she whispers "I always lead, my love"

"And I always follow" Emma whispers back, with a smile and eye roll and then a long moment later, when other couples join them upon the floor. Emma see's Henry and his lady friend and she smirks and says "Look" she turns, so Regina can see and Regina's eyes widen.

"I guess I get my desert after all" Emma grins and Regina scoffs and looks back to Emma adoringly and says "Your definatly going to be getting more than desert, my love. Thats a promise" she grins wickedly and Emma feels her whole body heat up and she goes quiet and enjoys the rest of the dance.

While also looking forward to every minute she will have with Regina in the future and she promises herself, that she is never going to let Regina go for as long as she shall live.

The end.
