23. (Things you said during the wedding) + Zekina please (it doesn't have to be their wedding if you don't want to)
zekina + things you said during the wedding!
“Tina girl?”
Tina’s shoulders relax at the sound of her boyf-husband’s voice. When she whips around to face him, he grins. After four years together, Zeke still smiles the same goofy smile whenever he looks at her.
“Zeke, hi!”
She flies into his arms, suddenly aware of how badly she needs a hug from him. He returns her embrace automatically, no questions asked, his hands coming to sit on her waist.
“Hey there, beautiful. Who’s the lucky guy who gets to marry you today?”
Though Tina rolls her eyes, Zeke’s corny flirtations are always a comfort. It’s good to know they won’t stop now that they’re married.
“You are.” She deadpans. “You already did, actually.”
He rubs a circle on her lower back, like he knows she’s a little overwhelmed without her having to voice it herself. As much as Tina has dreamed about her special day, she isn’t used to being the center of attention. It’s surprisingly stressful.
“I remember.” Zeke says. “I saw you sneakin’ off in the middle of the reception, and I was afraid I might have a runaway bride situation on my hands. Everything alright?”
Tina nods emphatically. In spite of all the chaos, her wedding day has exceeded her wildest expectations. It’s different—more imperfections and fewer zombies—but she loves it all the same.
“Everything’s great. I just…”
Zeke kisses her temple.
“It’s a lotta eyes on you, ain’t it?” He says sagely. “I getcha. Well, why don’t we just take a little break from the party? When you feel better, then we’ll go get our dance on!”
Tina sighs. Apparently, she’s been unknowingly waiting on permission to shirk her duties as the bride. After all, there's only so much chit-chat a girl can make with distant relatives, before she exhausts herself.
All she needs are a few moments to recharge, and then she’ll be Wedding Day Tina again. The best, most radiant version of herself. When she kisses her new husband, she feels more in love than ever before.
“That’s a great idea, Zeke.” She says. “Is it too soon to renew our vows?”
