---------------------
A wedding? A wedding!!!
Tuk sighs dreamily as she twirls and admires a flower kiri picked for her. Admiring the pretty color as how the sunlight reflects it. It somehow reminds her of her parents' love story, how they met and how they mated. In naâvi standards, it was not ideal but to tuk, it was perfect. Forbidden love? How tragic and romantic!Â
Of course she has seen a few small handful of naâvi courting, and heard stories of her friends' parents' romantic paths. Yet she cannot help but wonder, do humans court the way naâvi do? Or is it different? Only one way to find out!
âTuk, for the last time, I may be human, but that doesnt mean I know every human customâ spider patiently explains to a happy little tuk. Her tail sways in hopes she can gather as much information as possible. Even with spiderâs lack of knowledge, she doesn't give up!Â
âWhat about uncle norm? He is from Earth, maybe he knowsâ tuk suggests.Â
Spider nods in wonder, slightly agreeing. But then he turns back to her, âwhy are you interested in human customs all of a sudden?â he asks. Tuk isn't one to search for anything human related, she is fine with what little she is exposed to. Â
With a happy smile, all too pleased to be asked that question.Â
âI know all about naâvi courting, but I wanna know about human courting! Mom and dad didn't do either, so I wanna know!âÂ
Shrugging, spider seems to see her point of view.Â
âAlright, lets go ask uncle normâÂ
âI'm busyâ Norman says without looking at the kids. They give him an unimpressed look.Â
âReading star wars comics for the millionth time doesnt count uncle normâ loâak says deadpanned. Norman stayed silent for a few seconds before putting his comic away.Â
âWhat did spider or tuk eat this time?â he asks with a tired sigh. Both spider and tuk gave him a rather offended/surprised expression.Â
âWOW, you really take us for a couple of skxawngs?â spider asks, putting his hands on his hips.Â
âSharing jakeâs single braincell, yesâÂ
âWhatever, we didn't eat anything mysterious, yet, but, tuk wanted to ask you something and now we all wanna knowâ spider defends while slightly pushing tuk forward.Â
Having normâs full attention, tuk finally asks âHow do humans court each other?âÂ
norm âs shoulders deflated a bit, âof all people to ask, you had to choose the most single, and lonely humanâÂ
âWedding? And the females wear white while the males wear black?â tuk asks as she sees some wedding photos lended by scientists who were married. Norm nods, âthats right. Of course not all weddings are like that, it is traditional but many choose other colors for their weddingsâ he adds.Â
Tuk looks at the various photos of brides, many in odd looking clothing. But all were so beautiful. Different long dresses, each unique to their own. Various flowers tuk has never seen before, and the grooms were also handsome. Wearing similar outfits but also in different styles. The more tuk learned about the concept of weddings, the more she began to form an idea.Â
âSo, man and woman plan a wedding, woman finds a pretty dress to wear, walks down the tiny path to meet her mate, they kiss and marry right?â she reviews, norm nods again. Sensing something is up.Â
âYesâŚ.âÂ
âWhat are you thinking about tuktuk?â Kiri asks.Â
A mischievous little grin forms on tukâs face. Her eyes sparkling with a devious glow. The expression reminds norm of the Grinch when he has a grand scheme.
Taking the day easy, jake and neytiri hold hands happily as they make their way to the village. They had a rare free day to themselves. No duties to attend to, no training, no meetings, no chasing their kids from death related troubles. None. They were free to do as they like.Â
And what they wanted to do for now was stroll in the village, perhaps collect a bit of fruit. Maybe later hunt for a delicious dinner neytiri has in mind. So many possibilities.Â
ButâŚ.
âWoa, is it just me or are the people acting strange?â Jake asks, He and neytiri notice the odd behavior of the people. Many give them happy smiles, way too excited greetings, some even offer special gifts!Â
âIs there something we missed?â Jake wonders. Neytiri tries to remember but nothing seems to remind her.Â
As they walk further, there was a huddle of naâvi, all their eyes and ears facing the same direction. Jake and neytiri make their way through, and see someone giving them instructionsâŚ.
âAnd look for white flowers! Anything will do, oh and those beads will do so nicely! Yes yes, and take the woven clothes over there! That path must be super pretty!âÂ
It was tuk.Â
And she was giving directions to everyone like a tiny, cute boss.Â
âTuk?â Neytiri calls out in confusion.Â
Her little one heard her, smiling, tuk makes her way to her parents with a happy squeal.
âHey babygirl, what's going on?â Jake asks as he picks her up in his arms. Tuk just giggles and snuggles up to him.Â
âPlanning your wedding! Duh!â she responds as if that was the most obvious thing.Â
âWedding? What?â There were a lot of things going through his mind.Â
Neytiri was just as confused.Â
âWhat is a wedding?â she asks. But before tuk can happily answer, the rest of their children returns. With arms full of things.Â
âOk tuk, took us forever but we got what you neededâ loâak said with a tired sigh. He, neteyam, kiri and spider were holding flowers, beads, baskets full of white colored cloths, and black paint.Â
âKids, what is going on?â Jake asks, more eager to know the answer. Because nothing is making any sense to him.Â
âTuk wants to make a special wedding for you guysâ kiri replies as she shows tuk her findings, who nods in approval.Â
âWhat is a wedding??â Neytiri asks a bit loudly.Â
Tuk clears her voice, âa wedding is a special mating ceremony for humans. They decorate everything so pretty in white! The female wears a special gown called a wedding dress, and she walks down a flower covered path to meet her mate at the end. Where someone who holds spiritual power blesses them, the mates speak their vows and promises and kiss! Uncle norm showed me!âÂ
The little smiled so proudly of this knowledge being shared.Â
Jake inwardly groans. Damn norm.Â
âTuk, sweetie, is that why are you doing this?â he asks another question. Tuk just rapidly nods.Â
âA weddingâŚ.â Neytiri repeats, still trying to wrap her head around the idea.Â
The sully family returned to their home in need of a family meeting.Â
âWhyâŚ?â she asks.Â
Tuk plays with her fingers, feeling more nervous by the second.Â
âWellâŚ..you and daddy tell your love story all the time. How you guys met and stuff. But you never really did any courting like everyone else. Grandma says that courting is very important, to see if the relationship is possible. I thought a wedding would be nice for you twoâŚ.cause you never courtedâŚâ she explained her reason.Â
Neteyam was sitting behind her, rubbing her back to sooth her.Â
There were many things to go over of what she said. Jake brings tuk over to his lap, releasing a deep sigh.Â
âAm I in troubleâ Tuk asks worriedly. Both of her parents shake their heads.Â
âNo baby girl, but you can't do things like this without telling us. Or even asking, how are you sure we wanted this?â Jake pointed out as gently as he could.Â
Neytiri turns her head towards her oldest four, âand all of you for not stopping herâ.Â
âWe also thought it was a good ideaâŚâ neteyam answers while scratching the back of his head.Â
âWhen uncle norm taught us how humans courted, tuk wasn't the only one to like the idea. And it is true what she says mom. You two never really had the chance to do it right. Why not now?â Kiri tries with calmness in her voice. Knowing her mother is very short tempered when it comes to anything human related.Â
Neytiri and jake look at each other, a special communication between them.Â
âYou did take me straight to the tree after my trials were finishedâŚ.â jake reasoned. Neytiri rolls her eyes but fondly remembers that night. Yes, she did, she was not going to let him slip away now could she?Â
And there really was no room for courting since the war started literally the next day.
Going over her options, Neytiri turns to tuk and jake.Â
âHow does human courting workâŚ?âÂ
Whatever pace the people were working at, doubled. By either prayers, or some miracle of Eywa, neytiri accepted to wed in the human custom. Tuk wasted no time and needed back up from the help of uncle norm. Who became her second in command in all of the organization.Â
Her siblings become her little servants, repeating her orders to the people.Â
And someone had a big role to play.Â
âCome maâite, we must get you fittedâ moâat say with a bright smile on her face. Gently she tugs neytiri to her hut, kiri and other fellow naâvi woman takes her away.Â
âFitted for what?â neytiri asks, feeling a bit excited for whatever is to come.Â
âFor your wedding dress momâ kiri replies. Closing the flaps of the hut, the ladies began to work their magic.Â
While on the other side, jake was being taken to a different hut, being led by his three sons.Â
âSeriously?â jake says while raising an eyebrow.Â
âTukâs ordersâ loâak grins a bit smugly.Â
A few handful of Jake's friends entered the hut with him, with preparations of getting him ready.Â
âOh, and dont forget to write your vows!â spider reminds as he snaps fingers in remembering what tuk told him.Â
âMy vows?âÂ
âThis is going to take awhileâÂ
âOh yeah, its all coming togetherâ tuk says, pride grows in her little heart as the wedding decorations and the set up is nearly completed.Â
Norm was beside her, whistling impressed. âGotta hand it to you tuk, you do know how to designâ he compliments. This makes little tuk humph with glee.Â
They were at the spirit tree, white veils, flowers, the Atokriniaâs floating around elegantly. Her image displayed ever so perfectly.Â
âOk, it's all set tuk!â loâak says as he with kiri, spider and neteyam arrive.Â
âGood! So we are good to go!âÂ
âAlmostâ kiri teases.Â
âWe just need one more thingâ neteyam smiles, but tuk was panicking a little.Â
âDid we forget something? It's the bells, isn't it? Dang it I should have-â she was interrupted mid sentence when she felt something land on her head.Â
Looking at what it was, it was a flower crown.Â
âA wedding isn't complete without a flower girlâ spider says. Gasping in happiness and surprised, tuk shouts in great joy.Â
âCome on, we still got time!â the three siblings drag tuk away to have her be the prettiest flower girl pandora has ever seen!
The flutes began to play, releasing harmonic sounds as the notes echoed to the peopleâs ears. Ninat taking the lead of the melodious choir, her voice and the others balance with the instruments. In tune to perfection.Â
The Atokirina floating all around, giving the path a heavenly glow.Â
The people sat anxiously, all in rows as they respectfully cleared one long path.Â
A path the tuk carefully walks through as she delicately lays flower petals. A flower crown on her head, wearing the cutest light pink loin cloth and pearl like bead top. Tuk truly looked like a flower girl. Behind her was the bride. Her beautiful mother, The one where all eyes go to see.Â
Neytiri walks gracefully on the path her daughter leads. Wearing an all white outfit, her loincloth, her top, her head piece, and the veil she wears. All white. Her hair braided loosely behind, flowers decorated on her hair as well. Neytiri never felt more beautiful than she did at this moment. With a bouquet of flowers she holds tightly, her eyes search for her mate. The love of her life, Jake.Â
At the alter, at the root base of the spirit tree was Jake. In all of his might glower, wearing a black loin cloth as his warrior armor at the waist, his hair braided in the similar fashion he wore during the war. Feather and bead amended to the braids, and small black paint to enhance his handsomeness. Jake looked so good it made neytiri want to run towards his arms.Â
As they reached the altar, tuk took her place beside kiri who was wearing a style similar to tuk. Neteyam, spider and loâak beside their father as they admire their mother.Â
Jake offers his hand to which neytiri happily accepts. Removing the veil to reveal her beautiful face, jake could help but mutter âbeautifulâ in awe. Together they both turn to face moâat who smiles with heavenly joy.Â
âWelcome everyone. Today, we gather in great celebration to bring these two wonderful people into union. Through trials and tribulations, these two souls have been challenged time and time again. But their love has pulled them through. Proving to us all that love truly conquers all. That being with your true one, anything can be accomplishedâÂ
moâat gestures to Neytiri and Jake that it was time to say their vows.Â
But as they speak, tuk listened as best as she could. Hearing her parents story over and over never waivered with time. If anything it only sounded better each time. And hearing their vows right before her big eyes, it was adding a whole new perspective.Â
Yes, tuk is a sucker for romantic things. Even if her siblings tease her, tuk won't stop. And seeing this made her love romance even more.Â
âAnd by the great blessing of our great mother Eywa, I can now happily announce, Jake and neytiri as husband and wife! You may now-âÂ
Neytiri didnt let her mother finish as she dragged Jake down to kiss him like her life depended on it. Jake happily reciprocates.Â
The naâvi cheered in celebration. Applause, screeches, everything was heard.Â
Tuk sighs dreamily as she sees her parents kiss.Â
âI can't wait to get marriedâÂ
Kiri: âneverâÂ
Spider: "nope"
Loâak: ânot gonna happenâÂ
Neteyam: âover my dead bodyâ
Okie so this kinda became a tuk main story but I like it how it turned out. What do you guys think? Until next time! See ya!
