Chapter 12: The Wedding!

The early morning sunlight was pouring in though the window tickling Alanna's face. She rolled over and fell out of bed with a thud, waking her up with a start. She sat up and rubbed her head. The door suddenly, violently opened with a loud bang and Cythera ran in closely followed by Louisa.

"Oh my goodness you're getting married today!" Cythera screamed, jumping up and down. Alanna tried to detangle herself from her bedding, and not having much luck.

"Please don't scream you're making my head hurt more that it already is. How much did I drink last night anyway?" she asked.

"Obviously too much. Here." Cythera said shoving a bottle into Alanna's hands. Alanna drunk it immediately better.

"I am so glad that I'm pregnant and can't drink otherwise I would have had almost s much as Alanna had last night." Cythera said. Alanna scowled at her. The door opened again although much quieter this time, and Julia and Jessiker entered, each carrying a tray of food.

"We brought you breakfast. Unite Lanna." Jessiker said happily. Alanna smiled at the little girl as she finally detangled herself. Julia set her tray on Alanna's bedside table.

"How are you feeling?" she asked kindly. Alanna bit down on her apple thinking.

"Happy, excited, nervous, and a bit sad." She finally replied.

"Why are you sad?" Louisa asked, slightly puzzled why someone would be sad on their wedding day.

"Because Thom won't get to see me get married, have kids, grow old." Alanna said quietly. The room was silent for a few moments even Jessiker was quiet.

"You know. I bet Thom is up there and is watching you Alanna. He will not miss it. Besides he would want this to be one of the happiest days of your life." Louisa told Alanna. Alanna nodded a smile returning to her face.

"Well let's get ready! We have a big day ahead of yes." Louisa said, pulling Alanna to her feet.

"Come on let's go and find Clare and get our dresses. But first I'm going to go and get dressed." Alanna said walking to her dresser and pulling out on of her dressers.

Thirty minutes later, the small group of girls met Clare in Cythera's rooms. Clare handed each of the girls their dresses each was finished beautifully. They headed up to Alanna's rooms to change and get ready, as it was the biggest. Alanna put on her dress and smiled. It was the most beautiful dress she had ever seen. It was a creamy white and was strapless. (A/n I know this design probably wasn't around back them but oh well) The bodice was made of a shiny material, with patterns of flowers on it, which had gold woven into it. The skirt fanned out to the floor and had gold trimming on the hem. Alanna looked at her self in the mirror and even though she had not done her hair or face paint, yet she thought she looked beautiful. Jessiker ran over and stared at Alanna in awe.

"You look prettyful." She told Alanna. Alanna laughed and looked at the little girl. Her dress was a light pink in colour and had a light blue sash. Her sleeves were embroidered with little white flowers. Her brown hair was half up, half-down and wavy. In her hands, she carried a basket of flowers.

"You look like a little princess." Alanna told the child. Jessiker's face split into a huge smile and she skipped around the room singing, "I'm a princess!" Cythera walked over, her hair and face paint already done. Her dress along with Louisa and Julia's was a light pink/ purple colour and had a dark violet sash and bow around the waist. All three girls had their hair tied up in an elegant not at the back of their heads. Alanna looked at Cythera; she could hardly tell that she was pregnant. Cythera smiled and picked up a brush.

"Want some help?" she asked Alanna, who just nodded in reply. Once Cythera was done, Alanna looked into the mirror again. She was amazed at what se saw. Her hair was down and slightly curly, with a small tiara and Vaile on her head. Her eyelids had a slivery white powder brushed over them, her cheeks were a light pale rose colour and her lips were red and full.

"What do you think?" Cythera asked nervously. Alanna smiled at her.

"I love it and I sure Jon will to." She told her.

"Speaking of Jon I think we had better get going or we will be late." Louisa said.

"Just let me get my bouquet and we can go." Alanna said. Walking over to the bed were her bouquet was. It was made up of red and white roses, her favourite.

Once they reached the chapel, they lined up behind the double pine oak doors. Inside they hear the music start. Alanna felt extremely nervous. The doors opened and Cythera, Louisa, Julia and Jessiker walked down the isle. Alanna took a deep breath. It was now or never. She slowly walked down the isle as she had been taught. She saw Jon standing at the front and she smiled. He was wearing black breeches, a silver shirt and a royal blue tunic. Strapped to his side was his sword. Alanna finally reached the prist. She turned at looed Jon in the eye, not listening to what the prist was saying, completely lost in his blue eyes. She finally heard the prist say.

"Do you Jonathan of Contè take Alanna of Trebond to be you lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and health, as long as you both shall live?" Jon smiled and said, "I do."

"Alanna of Trebond, do you take Jonathan of Contè to be you lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and health, as long as you both shall live?" Alanna smiled at Jon and said, "I do."

The priest then said, "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Cheers erupted from the audience, as Jon lifted up Alanna's Vaile and sealed their marriage vows with a passionate kiss.

The reception was held later in grand ballroom. It had been set up with lage banquet tables and a space in the middle for a dance floor. The room was full of people eating, taking and laughing. Alanna and Jon were the centre of attention. Gary –the best man- stood up and tapped his fork on the side of his goblet.

"Lords and Ladies, you're highnesses. I would like to say a speech about these to wonderful people beside me. Lady Alanna and Prince Jonathan. These two have been through a lot together and I don't think Jonathan could have found a better wife. I ask you all to raise your goblets to their highnesses Alanna and Jonathan of Contè."

"Alanna and Jonathan." The crowed chorused as they took a sip from their goblets. Jon stood up.

"Alanna the moment I laid eyes on you I knew that you were special. There was something different about you to everyone else and as time when on you became more and more special to me. Alanna you are the light of my life and I have no idea how I survived before you came into my life. I love you and always will." He sat down. Alanna wiped the tears from her eyes, before standing up.

"I can't say who much you mean to me Jon, as I don't think there is a word in existence that can describe what you mean to me, but know this. I love you and always will." Slow music struck up. Jon took Alanna's hand and led her to the dance floor. She wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I love you Jon." She whispered into his ear.

"I love you too." He whispered back. And together the danced with out a care in the world. Their attention on each other.
