Saga Final Preparations--Anakin/Padmé Mush, Third and Final Part 5/12/03

Awesome job! Brings back memories too. OK, I didn't elope, but I remember finding my dress and thinking "That's the ONE." Ooh, and the wedding night...are you gonna post that?

The detail paid to the wedding gown was lovely MissPadme!

It makes me have wedding bell blues...hmmm.

(sigh)

Humaira realises she's single

This is utterly romantic and I love it. Can't wait for the next part. Keep up the great work!

All the best and God Bless

Humaira

stacysatrip--No, no wedding night chapter. Sorry. There is an upcoming PM-only vignette though...
Jedi_Humaira_Blaine--Don't sweat it, I'm single too.

--MissPadme

Up! Can't wait for that PM only vig, either...

It's all coming together I really like how you've portrayed Padme, knowing what she is doing and risking everything but knowing she loves Anakin more. Defiently a fave fic from the A/A camp.
I really do think Padme would prefer the older style of dress.
I hope to see Ani's P.O.V soon!!!

JazzSkywalker--Thanks for the up.
Hananiah--Thank you...I will tell you that the final part is from Anakin's p.o.v..

I forgot to update the message title...I'm surprised anyone managed to find part two of this!

--MissPadme

Well, folks, this is it, Part Three. Sorry it's kind of short.

Thanks everyone for dropping in to read this and for leaving your kind comments.

Here it is, again from Anakin's p.o.v.--and I guarantee it's a happy ending .

Anakin paced nervously on the balcony. The holy man had arrived, the sun was starting to sink below the distant mountains, and Padmé wasn?t ready yet. All poor Threepio could do was watch his maker glide back and forth in a purposeful stride, his dark cloak billowing around him.

What if she?s changed her mind? What if she?s locked in her bedchamber and won?t come out? Perspiration broke out on Anakin?s forehead as every worst-case scenario played through his mind.

No, wait. I can?t think like this. Padmé loves me. She wants this as much as I do. I have to be calm. If anything was truly wrong, I would know. I would feel it through the Force. Anakin stopped his pacing and closed his eyes. The ancient mantras he?d learned at the Temple replayed through his mind, slowing his breathing and heart rate to normal. The Force flowed through him and he could feel the presence of every living being near him, from the patient holy man to the birds singing their evening songs to the insects buzzing around the flowers on the balustrade to the fish in the lake. But one presence in the Force shone brighter to him than Tatooine?s suns. It was a presence made up of love, light, and the very essence of this verdant, living world. And it was coming nearer...

A series of cheerful electronic beeps and whistles interrupted Anakin?s meditations. ?Artoo! Miss Padmé!? Threepio exclaimed as the astromech droid and its mistress appeared in the doorway to the balcony. Artoo rolled toward where Threepio stood, Padmé following behind him.

Anakin could do nothing more but stare in amazement at his bride as she walked toward him. She had never looked so beautiful to him, dressed in an exquisite white gown and an antique lace veil dotted with seed pearls. She was as etheriel as the legendary angels of Iego, whom he had compared to her a lifetime ago in that dusty Mos Espa shop.

?I?m sorry I?m late,? she said with a little smile.

?My lady,? he said, this time not as a formal address but as a deeply-felt endearment. He took her hand in his left hand and pressed it gently to his lips. He then turned to the holy man. ?We?re ready to begin, I think.? With that, the holy man nodded and began the ancient incantations that bound countless hearts over the centuries.

The End

--MissPadme

That was lovely!! Short but meaningful.

Well it was different to what I expected...but then who want's to be predictable right?

Nice work MissPadme and thanks for the "pick-me-up" earlier.

I'm gonna try and enjoy my singleness!

Humaira

Very, very heartwarming. I loved it!

Very sweet. A great ending to the series.

What if she?s changed her mind?
Yep. Yep, yep, yep. If he didn't think this at some point, then we'd really have to worry...

Thanks, everyone!

Just to let you all know, I've completed a new vignette that I will be posting soon on my House of Vignettes thread (link below) and available right now, a PM-only story. It's a sequel to my previous PM story "In the Middle of the Night."

Here's a preview:

One of the things he loved most about Padmé was her coquettish naughtiness, the way she could combine red hot sensuality with innocence. The fact she shared this aspect of herself only with Anakin was a huge turn-on for him. He casually tossed aside the undergarment and seized her, bringing his lips down on hers in a devouring kiss.

Upsie...

--MissPadme

Ah, love. Very nice thing to come back to after a 24-hour flu bout.

And you know, especially after a teaser like that, that of course I'm interested in that PM-only viggie.

Alright! Bring on the vignette!

Alderaan21--I'm glad you're feeling better!
AnakinPadmeSkywalker--If you mean the naughty one, you'll have to PM me. But I have a nice squeaky clean one I will post on Monday on my House of Vignettes thread (link in the signature).

--MissPadme

Upsie...

Cheers to one of my favorite authors! Story was everything I was wanted and more. A nice bit of insight into Anakin and Padme's pre wedding adventures.

BTW: Like several of my other favorite authors this fic and your others have inspired my to write my 1st full length Ani/Padme tale.
