Tenten's PoV

Why the hell was I so friggin' nervous? It wasn't like this wasn't the happiest day of my life, right?

I stared into the mirror in front of me with wide eyes. I was wearing a long, beautiful, off-the-shoulders white dress, my hair was up in an elegant bun, and to that bun a long veil was attached with a tiny, golden tiara, flowing out behind me. I wore one piece of jewelry: a very thin golden chain around my neck, and the charm was a golden heart with a tiny sapphire in the upper corner. I'd borrowed the charm from Hinata. It was my 'something borrowed' and 'something blue' in one.

I bit my lip tightly and turned away from the frightening image of myself looking white. Jeez, wasn't it the guy who was supposed to be panicking before a wedding?

"We're back!" Temari announced, waltzing through the door together with the other three cute little bridesmaids.

...Well, at least Hinata was a cute little bridesmaid.

"I'm telling you, you got overboard with the flowers!"

"I did not go overboard with the flowers, okay? You can simply not have too many flowers on a wedding!"

"No, in case there are not so many flowers that the guests have nowhere to sit!"

"Oh, please, they have somewhere to sit. And if it gets cramped inside, they can always get out on the porch or something."

"Still! The smell in there is suffocating! And what if someone's allergic?"

"Then they should come to a wedding! There're always lots of flowers on weddings!"

Sakura opened her mouth to reply, but Temari cut her off:

"Cut it out, you two", she snapped. "There's nothing to do about the flowers anymore, okay?"

Sakura scowled, but Ino grinned and nodded in agreement.

"You look beautiful, Tennie-chan!" Ino told me, smiling warmly at me. I smiled back but didn't say anything.

"Nervous?" Hinata asked, smiling gently.

"Uuh... A bit."

"Don't worry", Sakura reassured me, putting my bouquet of flowers on a table. "I'm sure Neji's freaking out completely."

I snorted. "I really doubt that."

Neji's PoV

Breath in... Breath out... Breath in... Breath out...'

stood next to a wall, leaning my forehead against it. My eyes were closed and I was concentrating very hard not to start panicking.

This far I wasn't doing too great.

I opened my eyes and glared at the wall. What was I even nervous about? I was about to marry the most beautiful, wonderful, perfect woman in the entire world! The woman I loved more than anything! Why was I acting like a geeky fifteen-year-old before his first date with a hot college-girl?

I heaved a sigh and pushed myself off the wall, adjusting my tux. Okay. Time to be a man.

"Hey, Hyuuga! Ready to sell your soul yet?"

I slowly turned around slowly to face Kankuro, Naruto, Shikamaru and Sasuke.

"Thanks for that", I stated and walked past them up to the window, staring out at the most beautiful day I could remember ever seeing. Talk about luck with the weather.
