You breathe in and breathe out. Keep yourself calm. Must. Be. Calm. Deep breaths, hold them, let them go and repeat. You can do this. All you have to do is walk, stand, and say a few words, how hard is that? But the more you think of it the more you start to worry.

"Dammit," you say under your breath, dropping to the floor and holding your waist.

Deep breaths, deep breaths. You stare at yourself, on the floor, through the mirror in front of you, and notice how bad you look. The stress has gotten to you. What you're wearing feels tight, your hands are sweaty, your hair is falling out of the pins, and your mouth is dry.

You thought you could do this, but now you're not so sure. Everything seems to have gone by so fast. Where did the time go? How is today already here? It seems like just yesterday you met him. Goodness, 5 years go by fast.

Suddenly someone starts knocking at the door of the room you're in. The sound pulls you back from your thoughts and you turn to look at the wooden door.

"(Y/N)? Everything alright, dear?" Valka says through the wood.

You look down at the ground as your breathing becomes faster. No more deep breaths, it seems. There's silence at the door before Valka opens it, and looks in to see you on the ground full of worry.

"Oh, (Y/N)." She says, walking over to you and kneeling beside you.

"I don't think I can do it." You admit.

"How come?"

"It's happened so fast. I don't know where the time went."

You look at Valka, still breathing quickly. She gives you smile which you know holds a story, and sure enough it comes.

"I felt sick on my day, as well. There were so many people and so much to do. I remember looking at myself in the mirror," Valka turns to glance at the mirror behind you, "and thinking that I couldn't go through with it."

"So how did you?"

"It was him. As soon as I saw his face and how happy he looked, I felt sure again."

Your breathing steadies as you recollect yourself and take in what Valka said. You don't have a problem with what's happening, but you just feel like you're frozen.

Valka helps you up to stand on your feet and brushes away the loose strands of hair in front of your face.

"Let's get you all fixed up." She says, taking the pins out of your hair.

She turns you around and you sit on a small chair in front of the mirror while Valka does your hair. Supposedly having someone brush your hair is the greatest comfort in the world, and you now believe it. With Valka making your hair look nice again you start to relax.

Then someone knocks at the door and opens it, and in comes Astrid all dressed up and looking as beautiful as ever.

"Is everything ok? We had to delay a little bit." She says.

"Yes, everything is alright." You say, standing up after Valka puts the last pin in your hair.

Astrid smiles at you as you walk over to her.

"Wow, you look amazing." She says.

You laugh.

"Valka is the magician here."

"Don't be daffed, (Y/N). You're beautiful even without having to dress up." Valka says.

"Thank you," you smile at her.

She gives you a quick wink before telling Astrid to inform everyone that you will be coming. She nods and leaves the room, and Valka gets you ready to leave as well.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Valka says.

She rushes off to a table and grabs what she had forgotten.

"Can't forget this." She smiles, placing the flower crown on your head and moving the veil in front of your face, "You make the most beautiful bride."

You smile at her, finally feeling ready to walk through those doors, and she leads you out of the room and towards the only church in Berk. Everyone is already inside and you can hear the music starting, so Valka wraps her arm around yours and you both enter inside.

Everyone stands from their seats to turn and look at you, but you fade everyone out. The music, the people, it all disappears as you look down the isle where Hiccup is standing, wearing his father's wedding outfit, of course having to be down sized, and he smiles at you.

What Valka said was true. As soon as you see his smile you feel sure again. Hiccup is the man you want to spend the rest of your life with, and soon, you'll finally be able to call him your husband. Soon you'll be (Y/N) Haddock.
