1 more year later...

"I'm just scared! You could get hurt!"
"Tikki said I'll be fine and I trust her. Now are you coming or what?" she asked, swinging away
"We could've rescheduled," he said catching up to her on his staff.
"I've been putting it off for a year because of my commissions, your errands and our classes in general. Besides, Alya won't notice if I disappear for these few hours. If I wait, then she'll have to wait till after the wedding and the honeymoon and the-"

They landed in front of the studio, 8:55 AM sharp.
"Okay, got it. But just saying, you didn't have to jeopardize our wedding day like this."
"I cancelled a nail appointment for this. Trust me, I'd rather do this."
"Whatever you say, M'Lady."

"And that's a wrap folks! Thank you Ladybug and Cat Noir for joining us, we hope to see sometime in the future," Alya said signing off.
The cameras cut and the couple rose quickly.
"You okay Ladybug? Seem kinda breathless," Alya said.
"Yeah, just out of shape," she said, resting her hand on her abdomen.
"You need rest, let's go," Cat interjected.
"You guys are so cute! Congratulations on your relationship! Speaking of which, I have a wedding to attend to," Alya said.
"Me too," Ladybug said, right before she swung into the distance,
Cat shrugged and extended his staff, leaving Alya more confused than ever.

"OMG it was so awesome!" Alya squealed, pulling the strings of Marinette's dress.
Marinette gasped as the the dress tightened and then relaxed as she adjusted it to her size. She was concerned if the dress was getting too tight but relaxed knowing that she had a bouquet to cover her up.
"Ugh, I'm dying to know who they are! Okay okay, at least they could've revealed who Hawk Moth was!"
"And destroy that poor man's life? No way," Alix said, refusing to look up from her phone. She had her sneakers under her bridesmaid's dress and Marinette had to admit that Alix completely owned it.
"Besides Alya, it wasn't his fault! Poor man, I wonder how much he must've been through!" Rose said.
"I'm just glad Adrien got his mom back," Mylene said.
Emilie Agreste was said to have revived from the akuma attack that took place many years ago. She publicly stated that she is still not aware of the identity of Hawk Moth and had no idea what went on during her coma. The nurses that took care of Gabriel Agreste were led to believe that Ladybug and Cat Noir used their powers to save Gabriel from his illness and at the end, everyone was happy to see the fashion mogul claim his throne again and run the brand which was growing bigger by the day.

Marinette sighed and took one last look at the mirror.
Today you were Ladybug, a part of yourself that will always shine.
In a few hours, you are Marinette Agreste, someone you have always wanted to be.
But you will always be Marinette. No matter what.

Alya hugged Marinette from behind and said, "Ready girl?"
Marinette nodded and smiled. "Ready."

Adrien just wished he could get his nerves together. He was standing at the altar for God's sake. And it's not like Marinette would disappear before the wedding (even though she did) or run from the altar. She agreed to marry him. They had been planning this all year and they were only minutes away.
"Calm down dude, she's coming," Nino, his best-man, said from behind him.
Adrien nodded. The class boys and Luka were his groomsmen. Kim, Marc, Nathaniel, Ivan and Luka stood in matching pastel blue suits and Adrien had to admit that those were the only times he liked fittings. Nino was directly behind him and he couldn't be happier.

He looked at everyone seated: it was a small crowd with their relatives and close friends. The processional was nearly done as Sabine was seated in the front row, next to Roland and Gina. On the other side, Gabriel and Emilie were whispering something to each other and smiling. Behind them were the Tsurugis. Kagami had permanently shifted back to Japan but came to attend the wedding. She smiled at Adrien, full and genuine and he relaxed, knowing that she had no hard feelings towards him or Marinette.
