It's almost like the air is alive with anticipation. I can hear my heart beating loudly in my ears. I haven't truly grasped what I was about to do until now, and I repeat what that is in my mind. I am about to marry Katara. She is about to become Mrs. Avatar Aang. I still can't believe it. All those years ago, when we first met, I practically saw this day happening. And now here it is. I bounce lightly on the balls of my feet in impatience. Suddenly, a hand touches my shoulder. My best friend, and one of my groomsmen, provides his silent comfort from behind. Sokka flashes a cheesy smile and says,
"You ready big guy?"
"I was born ready," I retort with a chuckle. Sokka rolls his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, we know you love her ya big goon. Right fire queen?" He turns to his left and nudges Zuko, who is the only other member of my wedding party. Zuko snaps to attention and gives me a pinched grin.
"Uh yea," he begins, "You two are going to do great."
Sokka and I exchange glances before letting out a snort. Zuko's face twists into embarrassment.
"What!"
Sokka pretends to wipe a tear from his eye and shakes his head before responding,
"Classic Zuko," he rests his arm on my shoulder and looks at me with raised eyebrows, "so tense and awkward."
I look at the two of them and am instantly overcome with emotion. Spirits, I can feel tears coming. I don't know how I'm going to make it when Katara walks in-
"Aang, what's wrong?" Sokka says with a concerned voice, his lighthearted expression fading. I wipe the tears forming in my eyes before answering him.
"I'm just so thankful to have you guys," I say, my voice thick with emotion. Sokka nods his head in gratitude and slaps me hard on the back, causing my body to jackknife. Zuko simply smiles, which is clearly the only way that he's willing to respond.
I turn my head to the double doors. Any minute now, my future bride is going to walk through them, straight to me. An eternity seems to pass by- and then the music begins to pick up. Sokka and Zuko straighten their jackets, and Zuko checks that his hairpiece is adorned correctly, causing his water-tribe counterpart to giggle. Then, everybody rises from their chairs.
If my heart was beating loudly before, it is roaring in my chest now.
