I look nervously at myself in the mirror.
Today is the day I get to marry my very best friend, Finn.
Little did I know all those years ago, when I hit him with my staff on Jakku, that I'd end up falling in love with him and we'd end up getting married.
It's amazing how things work out.
"You look beautiful." Leia says, wiping a tear from her eye. "I can't believe my niece is getting married already!"
"Thanks, Aunt Leia," I reply, turning towards her. "Is it bad I'm nervous?"
"No, no, it's completely normal." Jyn assures. "It's a very big step. I'd be scared for you if you weren't just a little nervous."
I laugh slightly, "Okay, thank you,"
"It's time to get married!" Leia squeals.
I sigh nervously, and walk out of the hotel room.
In the hotel lobby, I see Dad, waiting patiently for me to come. I walk towards him and he smiles, "Hey,"
"Hey," I reply.
"Are you ready, my little Rey of Sunshine?"
I nod slightly, "Mm hm,"
"Okay then," Dad says, blinking away the tears in his eyes. "Let's go."

Dad leads me down the aisle, holding my hand. My attention goes to Finn, who stands at the alter with a smile on his face and tears welled up in his eyes.
It feels like eternity, but I finally reach the alter, standing beside the man I love.
Dad kisses my cheek gently, and moves the loose strand of hair out of my face. I grin slightly. He then goes to Finn, and whispers something to him, causing his eyes to widen.
Oh goodness, he threatened him. Right?
Dad then walks away and sits beside Uncle Han and Aunt Leia. Aunt Leia wipes the tears out of her eyes, and looks at me with a smile.
I turn back to Finn, who looks at me, smiling.
"Hey," I say with a nervous smile.
"Hey," he replies. "Scared?"
I laugh slightly, and look directly into his eyes, "Terrified."
"Same."
Finn looks into my eyes, and the ceremony begins.
Finn says his vows first, "Rey, when I saw you, after you knocked me out, I thought you were the most beautiful woman ever. And I couldn't help but lie, so that maybe you would like me, or at least not kill me. And you constantly worried me, with you being pretty reckless, but you were always strong. You are my Sunshine, my world, my happy place. I love you."
I chuckle, tears streaming down my face.
Finn gently places a hand on my face, and wipes my tears.
Now, it's my turn, "Finn, from the moment I knocked you out, I kinda liked you. When you told me you were leaving, I couldn't handle it, and when I was captured, you came for me. You came back! I never thought that would happen to me. You fought for me, when I couldn't fight, and you helped me more than I can ever help you. Thank you Finn. I love you."
"Do you, Finn, take Rey Skywalker to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, for rich or for poor, til death do you part?"
"I do."
The officiator turns to me, "And do you, Rey Skywalker, take Finn to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, for rich or for poor, til death do you part?"
"I do."
"Then I now pronounce you husband and wife, Finn, you may kiss your bride!"
I take a step closer to him, and he pulls me in, but as soon as our lips meet, there's a loud noise.
We're under attack.
