Waifu For Laifu

Allie was nervous. It’s alright I wanted this even before the show. Allie was tracing the delicate lace on her gown with her fingers much to Maja’s annoyance as she was trying to put the finishing touches on the dress. So it’s a couple months earlier than I thought it would be. Allie furrowed her brow in annoyance. Actually… It’s the right date… so is it earlier? I hate time travel so much. Apparently this is going to take place after the show though. Allie shook her head trying to clear her thoughts.

Isabella chuckled at Allie’s actions, “Thinking about how your wedding involves time travel?”

“How did you know?”

“Allie I’ve known you for more than half of your life. I know you aren’t afraid to get married or are having doubts. You and Mark worked through all that already. So the annoyance had to be something else. It wasn’t going to be the fact that you have to share Mark, considering you were okay with doing that with me. Plus I know exactly how much you look forward to all of us marrying Mark. Considering how turned on I am right now. I’m actually a little worried about that to be honest.”

Allie looked at Isabella curiously, “What do you mean?”

“I’m concerned that when you say ‘I do’ I’m going to climax or at the very least become a quivering mess. Which will definitely be awkward while standing right next to you.”

Allie looked at Maja, who was making alterations to Allie’s dress as they talked. “Maja, is that likely to happen?”

Maja paused her work and said “Maja does not know.” She shrugged and got back to work seemingly not thinking it a big deal. Maja finished her alterations and showed Allie herself in the mirror. “So? Are you happy with Maja’s work? If not, we will fix whatever you are unsatisfied with.”

Allie looked in the mirror. A woman she barely recognized stared back. Thanks to Isabella her makeup was perfect and the few blemishes on her face had disappeared. The wolf ears and tail felt familiar despite their newness. Then there was the final obvious change to her now massive breasts. It’s gorgeous. I’m not happy that alterations were made but… Maja did a wonderful job. It still looks like the dress I picked even with alterations. I love it.

Maja noticed Allie’s momentary displeasure, “Allie, tell Maja what you do not like. I refuse to allow you to leave unhappy.”

“I’m not happy that you had to alter the dress at all. I wanted my dress as it was. But I also know I couldn’t wear it as it was. The dress is wonderful, and I honestly can’t think of anything to improve it.”

“Maja understands. Maja can only work with what Maja has though.”

“I know.”

On the side Sam was changing into her Navy dress uniform and asked, “So are you still planning on changing your last name? I know you said before that you were but it feels like it is a question to revisit now. There are twelve of us now. Let’s be real, most of us are probably going to end up married to Mark. It might be odd for all of us to be Mrs. Garret.”

“Yes, I am. Whether you all change your last name or not, I am going to. Plus Talia and Aubrey won’t be Mrs. Garret. They will be Dr. Garret, if they change their last names. You could also go by Lieutenant Garret, or whatever rank you end up at. In any case, yes I’m taking Mark’s name. I want normal and while it might be normal now for a woman to keep her name I also want tradition.”

Cassandra came into the room, her dress was a periwinkle blue that currently matched her eyes, saying to Allie. “Well said. Are we all good here? We are just waiting on the bride.” Maja nodded, then Allie nodded. “Excellent. I’ll go make sure everyone is in their places.” Cassandra left and Allie, Isabella and Sam moved into position while Maja went to take her seat.

Mark was standing at the altar with Father Moeller. While Mark wasn’t overly thrilled about a religious wedding, Allie had wanted one so he had consented. Also because it would shut his mother up about the topic too. Mostly to shut up his mother.

Cassandra and Maja entered the back of the church giving the signal that things were ready to proceed. They along with everyone else from the show filtered in onto his side of the church. Mark was surprised at how full the pews were considering he was fairly certain that some of the people here had in fact declined the invitation saying they would be unable to make it. I bet Cassandra did something to make anyone we invited show up. The processional began and Mark saw his best person, Gloria, enter escorting Isabella. Then Sam came after being escorted by Julius. WAIT WHAT? What is Julius doing here as part of the bridal party? Mark quickly got his facial expression under control. Though he noticed some confusion on Julius’s face too. Odd… Julius looks different… Then Mark saw Allie walk down the aisle with her father. She is gorgeous. Mark’s mind went blank after that for a few seconds just taking in her beauty. Mark couldn’t stop smiling as she walked towards him. She hugged her father and he took his place in the front row as she stood across from Mark.

Allie was smiling back at him from ear to ear. Father Moeller began the ceremony but Mark nor Allie heard a word of it until he got to the part where they needed to respond.

“Mark and Allie, have you come here freely and without reservation to give yourselves to each other in marriage? Will you love and honor each other as man and wife for the rest of your lives?”

Mark replied, “I will.”

Allie followed suit, “I will.”

“Will you accept children lovingly from God, and bring them up according to the law of Christ and his Church?”

Again Mark replied, “I will.”

Quickly followed by Allie, “I will.”

“Since it is your intention to enter into marriage, join your right hands, and declare your consent before God and his Church.” Mark and Allie held hands. “Mark, do you take, Allie Asher, to be your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until **** do you part.”

“I do.” Mark placed the ring upon Allie’s left ring finger.

Father Moeller turned to Allie, “Allie, do you take, Mark Garret, to be your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until **** do you part.”

Allie’s breath caught as she said, “I do.” Allie placed the ring upon Mark’s left ring finger. Sam noticed Isabella bite her lower lip and stifled a moan pretending she was crying tears of joy instead.

“You have declared your consent before the Church. May the Lord in his goodness strengthen your consent and fill you both with his blessings. What God has joined, men must not divide. Amen. You may kiss the bride.”

Mark slid his arm around Allie’s back and kissed her. It lasted for several seconds before the priest politely coughed. Causing Mark to break off the kiss and Allie to chuckle. Mark offered Allie his arm and she slid her arm into his and placed her other hand on his arm. They receded down the aisle into the gathering room of the church followed by the wedding party.

The next hour went by slowly as they took pictures. Lots of group pictures. All the while Mark was getting odd looks from both Gloria and Julius. Especially when Allie requested a group picture of the Harem and then the Harem, plus staff and Cassandra. Though she didn’t actually call them a harem.

After all the group photos were done and Mark and Allie were getting couple photos outside. People were mingling and heading downstairs to the undercroft for the reception. Gloria and Julius, started talking. Gloria asked, “So, you’re Julius?" Gloria extended a hand to shake. Julius shook it. “I thought it was weird when Mark said he was going to add another groomsperson only a few weeks before the wedding. He said it was because Allie really wanted a second bridesmaid and they wanted to keep the sides even.”

“Yeah… I am surprised too. Though for very different reasons.”

“Oh didn’t think he remembered you or something? Mark actually mentioned you fairly often during undergrad.”

“No, Mark and I might not keep in touch as much as I would like but I still talk with his mom fairly regularly. I was surprised by the bride.”

“Oi, don’t go telling me you have history with Allie.” Gloria said to Julius, playfully elbowing him in the side.

“Nah, I guess I should say I was surprised by who the bride wasn’t. See Mark in his haste completely forgot to actually mention her name and I had reason to believe it was someone else.”

Gloria whirled on Julius so fast her neck popped. She grabbed him by the arm and quickly led him off to the side of the church as far as she could and not arouse too much notice. “What the hell are you thinking saying something like that where others could overhear you?”

“Uh… sorry I wasn’t thinking.”

Gloria pressed him in a whisper, “Fine, but you better have some compelling justification for even whispering something like that at Mark’s wedding. You might have been his childhood friend but he is my best friend and has been for a long time. I find it hard to believe that Mark is having an affair. So you better have something to offer me before I have you escorted out.”

“Fair enough.” Julius nodded towards the harem. “See that red head over there. The taller one. Her name is Merida. She, Mark and I are all childhood friends. For reasons I won’t get into now Mark and I lost touch with her for a long time.” Julius lowered his voice conspiratorially. “Here’s the thing, Mark had a huge crush on her for the longest time. I personally thought she had one on him too while we were growing up. Moreover, I had a chance encounter with her about two, maybe three months back. She told me that she had reconnected with Mark. Specifically that the two of them were dating. So when Mark asked me to be a groomsperson I sort of thought that the bride was going to be Merida.”

Gloria raised her eyebrows. “What?!” She hissed in a low voice.

“Like I said Merida claimed she was dating Mark. This wasn’t just me reading into things either. I point blank asked if she was dating him and she nodded in response. I don’t think she was lying either, considering the emotional distress of the rest of that conversation.”

“Well he’s got some explaining to do. You are coming with me.” Gloria grabbed Julius’s arm and went to go find Mark and Allie together. Mark and Allie were outside getting pictures taken. Gloria walked over and said, “Excuse me, Mark. Could we borrow you for a second?”

Mark looked a little confused and a little worried and clearly didn’t want to have this conversion, but the photographer betrayed him saying, “It’s alright. Allie and I can do some individual shots while you handle whatever the matter is.” Resigned to his fate he gave Allie a quick kiss and went to go talk with Gloria and Julius.

After walking a ways away, Mark asked, “Okay what’s the matter?”

Gloria said rather sternly, “Julius was just telling me the most interesting story, Mark… About his encounter with Merida a few months ago.”

“Ah.” Mark said knowingly.

“Care to explain why Merida claimed you were dating her? Why would you invite her to your wedding to another woman?”

“Gloria, you are my best friend, besides Allie. Do you really think I would cheat on Allie? You know how I feel about cheating.”

Gloria glared at Mark and then softened her expression. “No, you probably wouldn’t cheat. Then explain why this other woman said you were dating her.”

Mark sighed, “Please both of you keep this to yourselves. The answer is because I am and yes Allie knows.”

“You really expect me to believe that Mark?” Gloria said, placing a hand on her hip and raising an eyebrow.

“Considering that both of Allie’s bridesmaids are also her girlfriends too, yes. That’s why Samantha was added so late to the bridal party, Allie is dating her. But please keep all this private. Neither my family nor Allie’s family know about this yet and we want to keep it that way.”

“Wait Samantha…” Gloria slammed her fist into her hand. “That’s where I recognize her from!” Gloria exclaimed slightly louder than she intended. “She’s from university right? She was an on and off attendee at the LGBTQ events. Come to think of it, I think I recognize a few of the others from uni as well. Regardless Mark, why is this the first I’m hearing about you and Allie being in a polycule and how did Sammie get involved.”

“Don’t call her that.” Mark got a little hostile, which startled Gloria a bit. He calmed his tone “It’s Sam or Samantha. Please make sure to correct anyone else you hear who makes that mistake as well.”

Julius intervened, “Okay, Mark just calm down. Gloria clearly didn’t know that there was some issue there. I’m sorry that we came over here sort of accusing you of sleeping around.”

“It’s fine. I understand. Merida told you that we were dating and then you see me marry someone else even though she’s here in attendance. It isn’t an unreasonable conclusion to think something fishy is going on. If you need to ask Allie you are welcome to, you could also ask her bridesmaids as well.”

Gloria shook her head, “No, that won’t be needed. I trust you Mark and you didn’t hesitate to tell me you were dating Merida. Allie clearly knows Merida fairly well too. I do have another question though. What was up with the bevy of beauties? Don’t tell me you’re dating all of them. I know you like harem anime but Allie deserves better than that.”

Mark looked like he was caught in a trap, “Ehhhhh…”

“Mark… you aren’t serious are you? Because that pushes what I’m simply going to trust and will pull Allie over here right now if you say you are.”

“Well… if you are talking about who I think you are talking about then practically speaking yes, I am dating them. Technically only three of them are officially a couple with me right now, though.”

Gloria frowned at Mark. Then strode past him and said, “Allie we need your input for a moment. Should just take a second.” Allie came over to the group while the photographer changed out lenses on their camera.

Allie asked rather cheerfully. “What’s up?”

Gloria turned to Allie, “Allie I need to confirm something since Mark said you knew anyway it shouldn’t be a surprise. Are you aware Mark is dating other women? He claims you are also dating other women too.”

Allie looked at Gloria in confusion for a second and was sorely tempted to play a prank on Mark and feign ignorance but decided not today of all days. “I am, and I am.” Allie nodded. “I assume you haven’t told anyone else this and were discretely dealing with this matter?”

“That’s correct.” Gloria said, while staring in disbelief. “Don’t worry we won’t spread it around. I just needed to know because otherwise I wouldn’t sign as a witness.”

“Well thank you for caring about me. Good to know Mark has friends that would hold him responsible for his actions instead of blindly covering them up. If that’s all, can I take my husband back for photos?”

“Yeah.” Gloria nodded.

“Actually one second Allie. I need to talk with Julius really quick.”

“Fine you got five minutes more than that and I’m dragging you back.” Allie went skipping back to the photographer to take more pictures.

Julius asked, “What’s up?”

“What happened to you? It’s like you lost a bunch of weight, I’m pretty sure you’re shorter and you grew out your hair. You always said you hated having long hair.”

“It’s been years since we last saw each other in person, Mark.” Julius said defensively. “People change. Also I haven’t gotten shorter, I’m pretty sure you just grew a bit.”

“Julius don’t bullshit me. I bet if I went and asked Merida right now she would think you had changed from a few months ago.” Julius became very evasive very quickly. “That’s what I thought, what's going on?”

“I honestly don’t know. It all started happening in the last few months. I thought I was imagining it to be honest.”

“Can you tell me if you noticed these things shortly after your run in with Merida?”

“Aye, that would be right. Are you saying that Merida has something to do with my changes?”

“I don’t think so. Even if she could, she wouldn’t do that to you. Has anything else weird happened to you over the last couple months?”

“I got a girlfriend for the first time ever. She’s actually my plus one. I’ll introduce you later during the reception.”

“Please do. Now I better get over to Allie, before this wedding becomes a funeral.” Mark hurried off to rejoin his bride.

Gloria and Julius walked back inside.

A short beautiful Asian woman approached Julius and Gloria at the door. “Oh there you are dear.” She gave a peck on the cheek to Julius. “I was wondering where you had wandered off to.”

“Just talking with Mark for a second.” Julius explained. “Kari, let me introduce you to Gloria, Mark’s best person. Gloria, this is Kari, my girlfriend.”

“It’s great to meet you.” Kari said, giving Gloria a hug, startling her. “Julius, I wanted to ask what was up with, well you know.” Kari tilted her head ever so slightly in the direction of the harem.

Gloria looked at them confused. Julius responded. “She’s talking about Merida, Gloria. Kari here is Merida’s best friend from high school. I might have mentioned what I told you, a few minutes ago.”

Gloria nodded in understanding. “Ah, that makes more sense.” Gloria looked around and saw that most guests had headed downstairs at this point.

Julius continued, “I’ll explain on the way home, promise just leave it be for right now.”

Kari nodded, “Okay, wouldn’t want to ruin the festivities.”

Gloria asked, “So, I have a question. You just happen to be dating Merida’s best friend from high school? That seems like a fairly big coincidence.”

Kari responded before Julius. “I know right? It’s a small world. We started dating two months ago. He was ordering coffee and asked me out. Normally I just ignore when customers hit on me but something felt right, and I gave him a chance. We’ve been going out since. I didn’t learn he was Merida’s childhood friend until a few weeks ago when he said that he was going to be a groomsman here and if I wanted to be his plus one. He mentioned that Merida… would be here. Saying something about his two childhood friends. Honestly I can’t wait to catch up with her.”

Gloria furrowed her brow thinking, “Two months ago? Julius isn’t that when you had a chance encounter with Merida at your work? Also around the time that you started losing a bunch of weight?”

“Uh…” Julius felt like a deer in headlights.

Kari nodded. “Oh yeah, you did mention you ran into her shortly before you asked me out. Also, doesn't Julius look great? He’s lost something like thirty pounds and you wouldn’t know it because of the suit but he’s rather toned now too. I guess having a girlfriend finally gave him some motivation to work on his body.” Kari smirked. “Not that there was anything wrong with the way you looked before dear.”

“Kari, I think you and I are going to be fast friends.” Gloria put an arm around Kari’s shoulders. “Why don’t the three of us go find a table down stairs and you can tell me all about Merida and Julius.”

“Absolutely.” Kari said enthusiastically and the two of them started to make their way down the stairs. Julius followed after them feeling like a horrible monster was just born.

Flora reentered the side room the harem was using, both as their getting ready room and hide-a-way room when they wanted a break from mingling. After making sure the door was shut, she dropped her boon, becoming noticeable again and announced to the room, “Okay we might have a problem.”

That got the attention of everyone present. Merida, Talia, Laura, Ellen, Chloe, Aubrey, Freya and Maja were all here. It was Laura who asked, “What sort of problem?”

“Mark’s groomspeople, they know we are all with Mark. Mark was the one that told them as they started asking questions. Questions that they started asking because Merida told one of them that she was dating Mark.”

Everyone looked to Merida in disbelief, “Flora, what are ye talkin' aboot? I havenae said onythin' tae either o' them.”

“Yes you did. Not today. You told Julius that you were dating Mark during the challenge.”

“Haud on!” Merida exclaimed. “Is that Julius? He looks sae different frae the last time I saw him. Shorter an' all.”

Flora sighed, “That… that’s probably my fault. At least partially. See Julius has a new girlfriend, since you made it so he would have a fateful encounter to get one. The thing is, that new girlfriend is your best friend from high school, Kari. Not sure how closely you were paying attention to what I did to her, but one of them is any time her partner causes her to orgasm they will physically become a more ideal partner. In any case Julius was under the impression, Merida would be the bride at this wedding and mentioned it to Kari before the wedding. Julius also got to talking with Gloria, Mark’s best person, mentioning he thought someone else would be the bride. So Gloria and Julius confronted Mark demanding an explanation because if he was two-timing Allie, well Gloria looked like she was ready to beat some sense into him. Mark didn’t even bother denying it and just said he was dating Merida and Allie knew. That in and of itself I think might be resolved at least for today. But Gloria seemed to think there was something else going on. I have a feeling she might be asking some pointed questions.”

Aubrey sighed, “Well that isn’t ideal. Gloria will definitely start grilling those of us that went to college with Mark.”

Flora nodded, “I agree. Which is why I’m actually really glad you’re here Laura.”

“Why me?”

Flora hesitated, “I… I think we should discuss that in private.” Flora then activated her boon so only Laura could perceive her. The others had a moment of confusion and went back to what they were doing. “I activated my boon. Only you can see me right now, but if you talk to me everyone will hear it so just listen. I know about your impulse spell.” Laura's eyes went wide and then she had a trace of shame cross her face for just a moment. “I want you to use it on Gloria, to get her to drop her questioning, at least for today. I figured since you haven’t actually told everyone about the spell that you didn’t want it revealed. Mostly because I assume you have actually used it on some of us. It was probably what your first favor to Cassandra was about. Which I would guess that not everyone would take kindly to knowing you manipulated them. I don’t care about that right now. I just care about making this day go smoothly for Mark and Allie.” Laura nodded. “Good, if you can, you might want to hit Kari and Julius too.” Flora walked over to Merida and dropped her boon for just her and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. “Hey dear. I’m going to go back patrolling looking for any issues that might crop up. Text me if you need me.” Merida kissed Flora back and then Flora vanished from the room.

Laura reluctantly sent out the impulse to Gloria, Julius, and Kari to not pry into any of Mark’s secrets on his wedding day. Though she needed to use one of the charges from her raiment to do so.

All the guests had taken their seats. The photographers were in position. Now it was simply time for the bride and groom to make their appearance.

The DJ spoke over the speakers, “Welcome, everyone. My name is Chuck, I’ll be the coordinator for this evening. Now in a few moments the bride and groom will come in. After food will be first and I will call your table numbers. Mark and Allie thought you would prefer to listen to the speeches on a full stomach instead of desperately wanting food. Afterwards we will have the speeches followed by cake cutting and then the first dance. And now I would like to present the newly wed couple, Mr. and Mrs. Garret.” Mark and Allie walked into reception to the opening of ‘Thunderstruck’.” Everyone rose and applauded the newlywed couple.”

After a few moments everyone took their seats while Mark and Allie went through the buffet and got their food. Allie smiled and whispered, “You know I sort of expected Cassandra would have tried to put out ‘better’ food. I’m really glad she didn’t.”

“Yeah, I’m just hoping we get through this without another incident.” Mark replied.

“Yeah, I’m glad they were at least discrete about it. Do you think it will be a problem?”

As Mark piled roasted potatoes on his plate he lightly shook his head. “I don’t think so. Though I’m concerned about something else. I’ll tell you when we are back at the table.” The two finished filling their plates and went back to their sweethearts table and the DJ started to call table numbers. Mark and Allie started to dig into their food. Allie asked, “Okay so, what’s the problem?”

“It concerns Julius. As soon as we walked in I realized what had happened.” Mark nodded over to Julius and Kari who were at the front of the line to get food. “I’m assuming that is Julius’s new girlfriend.”

“And…” Allie said a little tensely, trying to get Mark to get to the point.

“I haven’t met her but her name is Kari. Flora paid her a visit not long ago. At the same coffee shop you were at recently.”

“OH.” recognition dawned on Allie’s face. “Is that really a problem though? If I recall correctly, the way that Merida and Flora worded their change was that they were compatible and it isn’t like they **** these two together.”

“Maybe, maybe not. Merida did have a part where Julius and the partner will date, fall in love and get married. So I don’t know. What does concern me is that he is drastically different looking from two months ago. Also, future me asked him to be part of this because I never chose a second groomsman.”

“Oh shit.” Allie said, realizing where Mark’s train of thought was going. “Mark, you are not to talk to them more tonight if you can help it.” Allie lowered her voice even quieter than they had been speaking. “Sam had been pushing me to alter the guest list some. She was concerned that some of the guests might be potential targets for Cassandra. Cassandra told me I could change the guest list and she would take care of things if I wanted to but that most of the list weren’t possible additions and that most of the possibilities were unlikely since there is no way you let me get eliminated. But that’s the thing she said most were unlikely additions, not all of them. I didn’t know those two were coming. The fact they were challenge targets as well makes me think it’s them.”

“Well shit. But can we really just not tell Julius that he is going to keep changing if he is with Kari?”

“Mark, here is the way I see it. If you don’t tell him, he will change and won’t know why. Maybe he has suspicions and you can tell him later. But Merida's change to him was a fateful encounter with a person not a woman who he would like as a person and would like him as a person. He will date them, fall in love and marry them. If you tell him and he chooses to break things off with Kari then Kari wasn’t that person. Meaning he will still have to have that encounter. I’m guessing that encounter is going to be with you when he gets added to your harem if it isn’t Kari. No matter what I don’t see Julius remaining as he is. Let him and Kari have their life together. If he ends up in love with her, is it really a negative that he is physically the ideal partner to Kari?”

Mark glanced curiously at Allie, “I’ll let you answer that question yourself. Since I have this really cool new app on my phone regarding you. Do you think it would be a negative if you were changed into my physically ideal partner?”

Allie thought about that for a moment. “No, I don’t think it would be. Though I’m pretty sure that app can do more than physical changes, and that is a different story. Now I think we let this be a problem for later. Right now we are going to eat, enjoy the perfectly normal buffet food, listen to the speeches, dance and have a good time. Right now, at least for today, I’m your only woman, the show isn’t a thing, and there are no problems to worry about. Got it? We are completely normal newlyweds, understand?”

“Yes dear.” Mark quipped. “I suppose that means you don’t want me to use any of the surprises I brought with me to make tonight more magical?”

“Well… I suppose a little magic in the bedroom wouldn’t hurt.”

Mark smirked. The two dug into their food. It was rather good for wedding buffet food, but Mark thought it was rather bland after eating the food from the resort. Am I becoming a food snob?

After they finished eating Mark and Allie made the rounds to greet everyone and thank them for coming. Stopping to talk for just a little bit with each. Until they got to the table containing their parents. Allie’s dad stood up and shook Mark’s hand saying, “Congratulations and welcome to the family.” Then he hugged Allie. Mark’s and Allie’s mom as well as Allie’s step-mom echoed the congratulations. Mark leaned over and gave the women hugs. Allie smiled and hugged them one after another as well, though a slight frown crossed her lips for just a second as Mark hugged her mom as she remembered what Sam had said.

Mark’s mom then started in on questions, like what were their honeymoon plans, when were they going to start trying for children, and on and on. Mark did his best to deftly evade his mother’s interrogation and made sure to cut things short saying they need to go talk with more guests and there would be plenty of time to talk about these things later. Mark finished at the table containing the rest of the harem, his staff and Cassandra.

Sam said, “You two look exhausted.”

Allie said, “Yeah, just dealing with family questions is tough.”

Laura responded, “Well you don’t have much more to get through tonight. Also it’s your party you can do whatever you want to.”

Mark nodded, “Yeah, well I think I’m going to have a nice sit and relax until the speeches.”

Mark and Allie went and finished and sat down at their table. Allie quipped, “Why didn’t I just go with an elopement? It would have been so much easier and shorter.”

“Because you wanted your family to be here. You love them and wanted to share today with them. Also I’m glad we did this. Yeah today has been long and a little exhausting but it has mostly been a normal kind of exhaustion.” That caused Allie to laugh.

“That it has.” Allie leaned her head on Mark’s shoulder.

About ten minutes later, the DJ made an announcement. “Could I please have everyone’s attention. We will now hear from the best person, maid of honor and Mark’s mother and Allie’s Father. First I would like to introduce Philip Asher, the father of the bride.”

Philip stood up and took the microphone. “You know when I first met Mark, I thought ‘this boy is a massive nerd.’ I was in fact correct. Allie hadn’t actually introduced Mark as her boyfriend at the time but I could tell that they were definitely going to be a couple. It has been a pleasure to watch the two of you grow with one another over these long years. I wish you both many happy years to come and Mark… she’s your problem now.” Philip’s last comment got a round of laughter from the crowd and especially Allie.

“Next up is Mark’s mother, Gertie.”

Mark’s mother took the microphone. “I’ll keep it short and sweet. First, about damn time you two.” Which got plenty of laughs. “You two started dating before either of Mark’s brothers and their wives, and you two are the last to get married. Anyway… Allie, I’ll say it again, welcome to the family. I hope you realize the crazy, that you’ve signed up for.” Getting laughs from people particularly from the rest of the harem. “May your love for one another endure the hardships of life.” Mark’s mother raised a glass, “To Mrs. and Mr. Garret.” The crowd echoed her toast.

“Next up is the Maid of Honor, Isabella.”

Isabella stood up a little nervous. “For those of you who don’t know me, I'm Isabella and Allie’s best friend. I met Allie freshman year of high school. I had just moved from Texas and didn’t know anyone really. I got to know her as we sat next to one another in so many classes simply because our last names both began with ‘A’. But we’ve been lifelong friends since. Now when I met Mark, I thought he was trouble with a capital ‘T’. I couldn’t have been more wrong. He’s trouble in all caps.” Which got raucous laughter lasting a good ten seconds, especially from Mark’s harem, where a few were slapping the table in amusement. “The thing is Allie likes getting into trouble. Mark has been a great partner to Allie, and they have gone through a lot to get here today. I know that no matter what happens in the future these two will be able to endure it together. But don’t forget you two that you have the support of your family and friends to rely on as well.” Isabella handed the microphone off to Gloria, irking the DJ slightly.

Gloria started, “To introduce myself, my name is Gloria. I’m Mark’s best person. I met Mark on the first day of orientation in undergrad. There was a Super Smash Brothers tournament going on in our dorm and well we became fast friends. Allie I don’t know you as well as I would like since we don’t get to see one another that much, but let me give you a piece of advice. Mark is good at heart and surprisingly smart. He is a great person to have in your corner, I would know as if not for him I might not be with my wife today. But you certainly know that, now here is the advice. Mark is also incredibly dense concerning his own relationships. Anytime you tell him something and think Mark understands it, I would recommend that you ask him to repeat it back to you, especially if you are trying to convey your thoughts and feelings about something. I am happy for you both and Allie if you ever need someone to give him a slap upside the head, let me know. Cheers to the happy couple.”

A chorus of “Cheers!” echoed throughout the room.

Gloria handed over the microphone to the DJ, who continued, “Now we will be moving to the cutting of the cake.”

Mark and Allie stood up and moved over to the table with their cake. They cut out a slice for each other, together. They picked up their pieces and fed it to one another. Mark looked at the remainder of the piece he was holding and smirked at Allie which prompted her to say, “Don’t even think about it Mark. You shove that cake in my face and you will regret it.”

Mark just laughed, and quietly said, “I thought you wanted a normal wedding, isn’t that a normal wedding tradition.”

Which caused Allie to pick up her piece and shove it in Mark’s face. “No, the tradition is for the bride to shove it in the groom’s face.” Only Mark could hear Allie’s reply over the chorus of laughter at his expense. Gloria handed him a cloth to wipe his face with. With that Mark and Allie took another slice of cake while everyone else got up to get some too.

About twenty minutes later they got up for their first dance. Everyone gathered around and a hush came over the guests. One of the reasons Mark agreed to this venue was because the church undercroft had a wide open space with polished tiles for dancing on. The lights went out save for the crystal chandelier hanging above the dance floor. Mark took Allie’s hand in his as he led them out onto the dance floor.

The first notes of ‘Merry Go Round of Life’ began to play. Mark placed his other hand on the small of Allie’s back, and they began to waltz. It was a dance they had practiced repeatedly with Isabella teaching both of them. Allie’s gown, a cascade of satin and lace swirled around with each graceful step and turn. Her tail swayed in time, keeping her perfectly balanced. Allie couldn’t stop smiling as she gazed up at Mark. “You know Mark, I didn’t really believe Cassandra until right now. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier.”

“Nor have I. Today has been more than I imagined it would be.” For the next few minutes the two of them became lost in the moment. Everyone else ceased to matter. As the song reached its crescendo Mark spun Allie out, their arms both fully extended before drawing her back into him, her back against his chest and his arms around her wrapping her in a tender embrace. Mark dipped her low and kissed her to the applause of their family and friends. As he broke off the kiss. Mark said, “I love you, Allie Garret.”

She placed one hand on his cheek and said, “I love you too, my husband.” Mark pulled her back to her feet still holding her hand. Allie had a father daughter dance next followed by Mark dancing with his mother. They were short, sweet and mostly involved slow swaying. Afterwards, the DJ invited any couples to come and join the bride and groom and the dance floor for a slow song. Many joined them on the dance floor, but the other members of the harem were hesitant, both because they weren’t sure how accepting some of Mark’s family would be of lesbian relationships but also not wanting to make themselves attract more attention. But when Mark and Allie nodded to them, and when Isabella dragged Sam out to dance with her, the others followed, with only Sadie, Hilde and Ellen not joining them for the couples dance. Ellen let Talia have the first dance with Laura.

Mark and Allie danced on and off for hours mingling and chatting with people as they did so. They actively avoided over interacting with the other members of the harem, and outright refused any dance requests from them today. Mark made it clear to all of them, he was only dancing with Allie tonight, and Allie made the same thing clear to Sam and Isabella.” As the reception was winding down the DJ asked for all the unmarried women to gather together for the bouquet toss. Everyone in the harem wasn't sure if they should actually join in on this or not, but after Isabella once again dragged Sam and made it clear that everyone in the harem was to get in the group they relented. Merida, Talia, and Chloe all seemed especially eager to catch it if not at least prevent anyone else in the harem from getting it.

Allie looked over her shoulder to make sure she was aiming in the right direction. Okay good, Isabella got them in position. Allie turned away from the group and said, “1...” She positioned her arms to throw it over her head. “2...” Some of the other guests backed slightly away from what they viewed as a coming storm. But Mark noticed that Kari wasn’t one of them she looked like she wanted to get that as much as Merida or Talia did. “3!” Allie whirled on her heels and baseball chucked the bouquet directly into Samantha’s startled face. Allie had an extremely pleased grin on her face. Chloe just shrugged satisfied that Sadie didn’t get it, while Merida and Talia were momentarily disappointed but considering that Allie essentially sent them directly to Samantha, felt like it was fine. Samantha was blushing to the tips of her ears and did not know what to make of Allie’s gesture.

Mark patently refused to do the garter toss despite how much Cassandra wanted him to. So the reception truly end soon after the bouquet toss. After all guests had all filtered out save for the harem and the wedding party, Gloria, Julius and Kari came over to talk with Mark and Allie.

Gloria said, “Congratulations you two. Sorry Leeann couldn’t make it, Mark. But she had an important business trip to Germany she just couldn’t miss.”

“I understand. Give her my love.” Mark hugged Gloria.

“So Mark, I hope you know that sometime soon. You have a lot of explaining to do.”

“Agreed.” Julius said next to her, and extended his hand to shake. “Also, congrats again.”

Kari wrapped them both in a hug which considering her small size Mark found impressive. “Congrats to you both. I’m sure I’ll see you both again.” She smirked as she glanced towards Merida. Kari then practically dragged Julius away and Gloria followed after leaving just the harem and Mark’s staff present.

Cassandra appeared and said, “Alright as this is a special event, Mark and Allie I have you booked in a honeymoon suite in Tokyo overlooking the city. Everyone else you are simply getting nice hotel rooms. Ellen, Laura and Talia are together, Sam and Isabella, Flora and Merida, Sadie and Hilde, Chloe and Aubrey. Tonight is a night of love and romance. Cassandra snapped her fingers and everyone found themselves elsewhere.

Mark and Allie looked out the window and saw the city of Tokyo. Allie had a moment of melancholy, “Well we made it to Japan. Too bad we aren’t going to be able to actually visit anywhere.”

Mark came up behind her and wrapped her in a gentle embrace. “We’ll be back. Think of this as a preview.”

“Sure. Now give me a second. I need to use the restroom.” Allie hurried off. While she was occupied Mark pulled out his phone and opened up the Customizable Waifu app on his phone. He saw he had a few free points to distribute and increased Allie’s sensitivity as much as he could in one day. Then put the other points in her fertility. He found there were a lot of sliders, some for really bizarre things. While going through he noticed one that governed vaginal pain and immediately decreased that. He found he had to actually distribute all the points to save the changes. So he increased Allie’s bust size a cup and saved the alterations.

Mark saw a champagne bottle, two glasses and two potion vials on the table, with a note. The note read ‘May you have endless fun together. -Cassandra’. Mark recognized the vigor potions and poured one into each champagne glass. When Allie came back out of the bathroom, she was still in her wedding dress. Mark handed her a glass and clinked his against hers. “To many happy years together.”

Allie eyed the glass, the unopened bottle of champagne and two empty vials. “What’s the potion?”

“Vigor, or should be. They are a gift from Cassandra. I actually brought two of my own but apparently they are complementary in a honeymoon suite. Cheers.” Mark down his glass and Allie smiled and did the same. Then Mark threw her onto the bed and jumped after her. Mark straddled her hips and leaned down and started to kiss her. As they made out Allie reached up and undid Mark’s belt and unzipped his pants. She removed his jacket and got rid of his tie. She slowly unbuttoned his shirt and rubbed her hands against his exposed chest. Mark then removed his pants while Allie hiked her dress.

Mark noticed that his penis was back at his pre-show size. Mark resumed kissing Allie as he inserted two fingers into Allie and found she was already soaked. Allie howled in delight through the kissing. Mark could hear her tail thump on the bed to the side repeatedly. Mark removed his fingers and gave her what she wanted. Allie immediately came when Mark entered her. She broke the kiss, shouting, “OH GOD YES! MARK I LOVE YOU! What the hell was that though. I thought you said those were vigor potions not sensitivity potions. Or is this just your penis being magical.”

Mark paused inside her, giving her a moment to recover from orgasming so quickly. “I love you too, my wife. As for your sensitivity, I think some of it is my dick but I also amped your sensitivity. I wanted this to be a night to remember. Now are you ready for me to continue because I want to get lost in your arms.”

“OH Lord, yes please. Take me.” Allie pulled Mark down into a loving embrace as she thrust her hips with Mark’s. Her tail acted like a metronome that they moved in time with. Allie literally howled in delight as she and Mark climaxed together.

Then she pushed Mark onto his back and climbed on top of him and eagerly started to bounce on his dick. Mark sat partially up and kissed her neck while she placed her hands on his shoulders and leaned back grinding their pelvises together. Mark reached around and undid the laces of her dress and slipped it over her head. Mark came inside her again. The next three hours were spent making sure that there wasn’t a flat surface that they hadn’t had sex against or on. Mark pinned Allie to the wall, laid her out on the table and they wrestled on the floor, with Mark letting Allie end up on top. Mark sat on the sofa while Allie sat back into him and he played with her breasts. After about the tenth or perhaps eleventh time Mark had cum inside Allie she said, “You know it really is unfair you stay clean, dry and smelling of cologne while I’m all sticky, sweaty and smell of sex.”

“Well we haven’t had sex in the shower yet.” Mark nodded his head towards the bathroom. Allie vigorously nodded and sprinted in there. Mark was surprised to see how decadent the restroom was. As it had less of a shower and more of a hot tub that had overhead attachments while surrounded by glass paneling. Allie was already inside and under the shower head washing off grime. Mark stepped inside and reached around and fondled her breasts. He then took some shampoo and ran it through her hair while scratching behind her ears. Which to Mark’s surprise actually caused Allie’s knees to buckle as she orgasmed and Mark had to catch her from falling over. They allowed the hot tub portion to fill up with bubbly water and sat down allowing Allie to recover and rinse out her hair. Mark got some body wash and pampered his wife and scrubbed her body clean. Of course as soon as he finished he took her again, right there in the hot tub. After a bit more fun in the hot tub they were finally exhausted. The two dried off and Allie put up her hair, in a towel. Then Mark carried Allied to the bed and gently laid her down and climbed in next to her. He wrapped her in her arms and said, “Allie, I love you and nothing will ever change that. You are my wife, and I will protect you no matter what happens.”

“I know Mark. I love you too, and I know things might be different than what either of us expected out of marriage but I’ll be here beside you always.” Allie scooched back into Mark nestling her tail between their legs and they drifted off to sleep.
