Lantern Chapter 26

Eugene silently untied the blindfold so that I could see. It took me a moment just to catch my breath. It was perfect. Eugene had brought me to a crisp white beach, with a beautiful clear sea lapping onto it.

"I didn't see this when we came," I whispered, barley wanting to break the moment with speech.

"It's on the other side of the island," Eugene said, pointing back to where he had just carried me. I looked and saw a winding path and in the distance the village we had just come from. It seemed as if we had entered another world. I turned back and looked out over the ocean to sea the sun setting on the horizon, as if it was melting into the sky.

"Come on, let's go Blondie," Eugene smiled grasping my hand as we started to walk down the beach. As we were walking I spotted what looked like a small beach hut on the bank at the top of the beach. It was painted white and hidden amongst the trees, to me it looked wonderful.

"So what do you think of the chapel?" Eugene smiled and to my surprise pointed at the beach hut.

"That's where were getting married!" I shrieked unable to contain my excitement. I looked up at the beach hut and noticed a light blue sign; Sunset Chapel it said.

"Well, do you see any other chapels around here?" Eugene grinned, pretending to look around.

"But…but I thought we were just going to the registry office!"

"I know but I didn't want to spoil the surprise and besides you only get married once right?" he said, as we walked up the stairs into the chapel. The inside was even better than the outside. A light pink carpet covered the floor of the reception and crisp white bouquets decorated the small room. Behind the desk was a notice board full of pictures of happy couples who were laughing and smiling and a plush white chair with a sleeping cat on it. Eugene and I stood silently and took it all in.

"Hi there!" a voice suddenly chirped as a young girl walked into the reception room. She couldn't have been older than me and had long thick black hair that was tied loosely in a blue ribbon behind her back. The blue matched her dress that was simple but very pretty and looked good against her pale white skin.

"Hello, were booked in under Flynn Rider" Eugene smiled at the girl and walked over the desk.

"Oh yes, your late," the girl laughed as she pulled out a collection of paperwork from under her desk and began filling them in.

"Were sorry, it took us a while to get here," I said.

"Don't worry about it, most people are, takes them a while to find us. Speaking of finding us, how did you folks come across us, usually only locals know about this place and everyone else goes to the registry office," she asked as she continued to fill in the forms.

"I used to live here," Eugene replied, trying to sound casual.

"That explains it then," she looked up and smiled before continuing, "Right so you sent forms here for a Rapunzel and Eugene, you folks don't happen to know them do you? Seen as in your letter it was Flynn and Emma," she said.

My heart beat quickened as I realised Eugene had used my mothers name and Flynn Rider's, probably trying to be careful. Neither of us said anything and to my surprise the girl just laughed.

"Don't worry you don't have to answer that, the amount of people who book under different names, well lets just say you're not the first and I bet you won't be the last," she said as she handed us the forms to sign. I silently did so wondering if this was the ceremony, even though we hadn't said vows or anything. Thankfully it turned out it wasn't.

"Right so everything looks in good order so you two can go and get changed, boy' s changing is through the door on the left and girl's on the right, whenever your ready, oh and I'll come through to help you with your dress she smiled at me," I smiled back, glad that I wouldn't be completely alone. I then turned to Eugene.

"This is it then," I smiled.

"This is it, are you absolutely sure you want to do this?" Eugene asked staring at me seriously.

"More than anything," I replied, leaning in as if to kiss him before whispering "See you at the alter," and walking into the changing room. I was filled with a mixture of nerves and anticipation as I took my wedding dress out of the bag.

Suddenly the door opened and I turned to see the girl from the reception coming in.

"Need a little help?" she asked.

"Thank you erm-"

"Blossom," she smiled as she came and helped me get changed.

"That's a lovely name," I said.

"Thank you, it was my mother's," she said, before continuing, "This dress is amazing; most people just wear ordinary clothes or rent old dresses."

I hoped she was right as I turned and faced the mirror. I grinned at my reflection, not able to believe that I had made the dress myself. It was plain but everything I wanted. It had a small strapped top and then went out slightly at my waist and stopped at my knees. I didn't wear shoes, but then I never did so why change now?

"This will finish it off," Blossom smiled as she slid a white flower into my short hair. I was about to thank her but she was already opening the door to the room where she told me the ceremony would take place.

"Well everyone's waiting are you ready?" She asked handing me a bouquet of light blue flowers.
