Okay we've been asked countless times about a wedding between Tris and Tobias. Seeing that everyone wants that, they'll get it. It's not going to be long but we hope you enjoy it and tell us what you think. So without further ado, the wedding chapter.
The Wedding
"Okay Tris breathe, today is the day. So you are going to get married big deal, everyone gets married all the time." Well that what she's worried about, Christina, her best friend thinks as she observes her friend pacing back and forth.
"Tris what's the matter?" Marlene ,a friend of theirs asks from the corner. She messes with orange dress that they are all in except for the pacing bride.
"Nothing."
"Don't listen to her, Tris what's going on with you? Yesterday you were so excited and now you are going to throw up?"
Tris stops pacing and looks at Christina, then the white sun dress that she picked out. "I don't know I'm just nervous I guess. I mean like it's all finally coming at me at once. I didn't realize until today that I'm 18 and I'm going to get married to a 19 year-old soldier who is leaving for Afghanistan in three months. Who does that?"
Tris sits on the bench that is in the room that she's getting ready in. "People who are madly in love." Christina says softly walking towards her.
"I'll admit you two are insane, but your so in love it's hard to watch. It's like looking in the sun whenever you two are together. Quite honestly, I'm jealous. My relationship with Brandon never felt real and what you two have is. Now come on, let's get you in your dress. He's going to go insane when he sees you."
Tris agrees and they begin to get her ready and make her look pretty for her special day.
"Dammit." Tobias mumbles as he tries to tie his tie. He rips it awry from his neck and restarts.
"Geez Four, what did that tie ever do to you?" Zeke, the best man, says from behind him making a cocktail out of drinks that he shouldn't be drinking.
"It's not freaking tying for me."
"That's why you go for the zipper ones, it looks more real than clip-ons."
"I'm not going to wear a cheater tie on my wedding day."
"Yeah you also said that you were never were going to get married, but look at you now. I can get you another tie-"
"Zeke, I don't want a zipper tie. Maybe when you get married you'll understand."
"But you aren't married yet."
"Fine when you find a girl who you care about enough to marry, then cheater ties mean nothing."
Zeke rolls his eyes at his best friend. They are both going off together so Tobias cannot kill him until they get out on the battle field, even though the temptation is always there. "Man, what happened? We were supposed to be the guys who never get married because we are above that."
"You might be, but I'm not."
"She's changed you way to much."
Tobias shrugs and straightens his now tied tie. "I don't mind, I like this version of me better."
"Yeah I do too." Zeke mutters defeated.
There's a knock on the door and Zeke goes to go answer. "Hey tell my little brother that it's about to start." John says from the doorway.
"You can tell him yourself." Zeke opens the door wider and let's John in.
John takes in his little brother, he's seen him dressed up plenty of times, heck he was dressed up at his own wedding a few years ago. But seeing his little brother dressed up and about to get married himself, he thought he would never see it. "Your tie is crooked." Is the only thing John can think of saying.
"Oh." Tobias turns back to fix it and when he does he turns back around. "Thanks."
"Well lover boy? We should get you out there. We don't want the bride to go out there without a husband."
"Yeah."
John leads them out, and Tobias finds his mother and sister waiting for him in the entry way. "Ah you look so nice." Evelyn says touching her son's arm.
"Thanks."
"Are you ready?"
"To be honest. I'm going to need a new suit, I don't think I've ever sweated this much before."
"Nerves are just apart of it. Now come on I think these people waited long enough, your bride is soon to follow."
Evelyn and Sarah grasp Tobias's arms and he starts to bring them down the aisle. Marlene begins to play the piano and Tobias stops at the pew for his mother and sister to sit at. Then he continues forward towards the front of the church.
According to Abnegation practices, as which their marriage is based on because it pleased both of their parents, Tobias has to turn to the front of the church and cannot turn around to look at his bride until her father gives him permission to. Luckily Zeke promised him to give him updates as she walks down the aisle. Zeke soon joins him up there, that means Christina is waiting on the other side for Tris.
The wedding march soon starts to play and the butterflies in his stomach start going off like fire bombs. "Ah man there she is." Zeke whispers.
"Dang they weren't kidding about dressing up in trash bags. That's the most smoking looking trash bag I've ever seen. Oh and she looks good to."
"Zeke seriously?"
"Sorry, but I will admit she looks good. Just don't hit me for saying that."
"I don't care, I asked you to do that."
"Oh she is almost here. If only you could see her brothers face. He looked like he just crapped himself."
As amusing as that is Tobias has to tell Zeke to knock it off. "How much farther?"
"She's right behind you son." The voice of Andrew Prior rings in his ear. "You can see your bride now."
Tobias slowly turns around, Tris stands behind him smiling. "Her mother and I give my daughter to him." Andrew says the minister and walks over to where Natalie stands.
The minister continues on with the ceremony and Tobias looks down at his bride. She's stunning. She wears a white sun dress that is higher in the front and longer in the back so you can see her sandals that she wears with them. Her hair is curled and a sparkly head band sits in her hair.
The only thing he can do is state because Abnegation practices do not allow them to touch until the rings.
Tris tries to pay attention to the ceremony bit the fact that Tobias's is starting at her only makes her want to stare back. But she knows what she'll see. Gorgeous dark blue pools, that with the help of the dark grey suit, will stand out and look lighter. They will starring at her.
"Because of the traditional practices this couple chose, they will be saying the vows that are written in here. Tobias will you please repeat after me?" The minister says clearly trying to gain the boy's attention.
"I, state your name."
"I, Tobias Josiah Eaton."
"Take you, Beatrice."
"Take you, Beatrice."
"To have and to hold."
"To have and to hold."
"In sickness and in health."
"In sickness and in health."
"In good times and bad."
"In good times and bad."
"As long as you both shall live."
"As long as we both shall live."
Tobias says confidently and places the ring on her small fingers. It some how feels right, like it's meant to be there forever. Tris doesn't want to ever take it off.
"Now you, Beatrice."
"I, state your name."
"I, Beatrice Dianne Prior."
"Take you, Tobias."
"Take you, Tobias."
"To have and to hold."
"To have and to hold."
"In sickness and in health."
"In sickness and in health."
"In good times and in bad."
"In good times and in bad."
"As long as you both shall live."
"As long as we both shall live."
Tris says just as confidently, and takes the other ring and places it on his finger.
"By the power vested in me, Tobias, you may kiss your bride."
Before Tobias had the chance, Tris is up on her tip toes ready. Tobias sweeps his head down without a second thought and kisses his wife.
Wife. Husband. They are now husband and wife. Beatrice Dianne Prior is his wife. Tobias thinks to himself, not believing that he's married. At nineteen too.
Beatrice Dianne Eaton. He corrects himself. Mr. and Mrs. Eaton. Some how that all just sounds so right.
They are now Mr. and Mrs. Tobias Eaton.
