Anna 's Wedding Ceremony

Sly woke up as early as bird, he couldn't believe today is his wedding day .He was getting butterflies in his stomach , never in his wildest dreams did he imagine he would be marrying a princess, He got out a piece of paper and thought, " What am I going to write as my wedding vows?" Sam came in and interrupted his thoughts, " Oh Sly tell what are my best man duties?" Sly laughed at his brothers, " First of all , write my wedding vows my brother .I am speechless and I have no clue what to write." Sam laughed , " My brother speechless , I never thought that would ever happen in a million years."

Sly paced around the room saying, " My Anna you like a shining princess.." He paused, " No that is silly she is already a princess or I could say your lips make my heart melt...No I can't say that her parents will be right behind me." He was interrupted by a tap on the door, Sam stood up and told his brother, " Go to your room and hide." Sly was confused, " But why?" Sam answered, " It could be Anna and it is bad luck if she sees you." Sly shuddered his shoulder, " Ok fine but I have to tell you that I don't believe in that superstition. " Sly went inside the room.

Sam opened the door it was not Anna but Margaret , he sounded surprised, " Oh I thought it would be Anna." Margaret smiled, " No it is only me?" Sam looked at her, " Only you did you come to whisk me away to a hidden forest somewhere." Margaret giggle, " No silly both of us are busy today , you have best man duties and I as well have made honor duties. That is why I am here." She gave him a note ,it was written on it Sly, " You wrote a love note Sly." Margaret laughed, " No silly Anna did and told me to give it to Sly. "

She left and Sam gave Sly the letter . Sly looked at it on the back and it was written, " To the thief who stole my Heart." ,he then opened it . "Dear Sly, words can not express how much I love you. We have come full circle now ,from the days when I ran away with you even after all the forces that have come between us we have beat them all and this made our relationship stronger, I promise to love you till the end of our lives together. Kisses your future wife Anna." Sly closed his eyes and recalled all the great times with Anna.

He remembered certain events, one of them was.... That morning while Anna was still asleep, he went out looking for food ,he found some ducks swimming a pond, He laughed, " Hey little ducks are you good to make a fine meal?"

Sly smiled, Anna would kill him if he even thought of hunting these ducks, how did Sly a hunter end up with an animal lover like Anna ? As they say, love certain works in mysterious ways. He went to search for some fruits and decided to play a prank on her. He took one of the ducks from the pond and wrapped it around his shirt. It was restless and began to make a quaking sound, he placed his hand patting it carefully to calm it down as it finally relaxed in his arms. He had a plan, he put the duck to sleep making it seem that it was dead and decided to trick Anna into making it seem that he killed it. He ran with a duck in one hand and shouted, " Anna ! Anna looked at what I hunted down. We are going to cook a duck for dinner tonight." When Anna saw Sly carrying what she presumed was a dead duck she got disgusted and screamed, " Oh Sly how could you promise me you wouldn't hunt animals when we are together. '' Sly teased her, " Oh Anna I couldn't help myself. I was very hungry. Why don't we try to cook it and you can taste it." He held the duck closer to Anna and shouted, " Get it away from me you animal hunter." As Sly was getting closer to Anna the duck woke up and Anna heard it's quacking sounds and got frightened and she ran off. Sly laugh so hard that he couldn't stop himself and the duck kept on chasing Anna throughout the forest.

Inside Sly's room he was getting ready after he had written that beautiful letter to Anna.A few more hours left my love and we will become husband and wife.

Anna was also getting ready for her wedding to Sly. She had already worn the gown , it was simple but yet beautiful.It was white and made out of silk that flowed on the ground. Her hair was braided down to her naked back , were was a knock on the door, " Come in!" Her sister Margaret wearing a pink short skirt and a matching pink blouse to go with it , Anna screamed of joy, " Margaret you make a beautiful bride made."Margaret thanked and then complemented her sister, " And you my dear Anna are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen." She went up and gave her sister a hug. " I love Margaret and thank you for making this a special day ." Margaret said, " That is what a bridesmaid is supposed to do and it was my pleasure."Anna cried, " I can't believe I am marrying Sly I man I loathed when I first met him." Margaret asked Anna," While because we still have some time to spare please to your sister the story of how the both of you meet.``

``Her father made a huge party in the house, he invited all the eligible bachelors to the party and that upset Anna so much because her parents expected her to pick someone to become her suitor by the end of the day. She was downstairs dancing with most of the gentlemen that came and she got tired and her feet were aching, so she kindly excused herself and went upstairs . Finally she had reached the privacy of her own room, she excited said to herself, " I wonder what this man is up to." Curious to know Anna thought she would go over to her mother's room to find out. So she quickly but with out anyone noticing her ran off to her mother's room. She entered the room and saw a handsome man out side the balcony window, he looked so fine the way he had big muscles in his arms and his brown wavy hair matched his brown eyes. She asked him, " Who are you and what are you doing here." Sly lied through his teeth , " UM IIII am the gardener and I came to take care of this vines." She smiled at him knowing that he was lying, " At this time of the night." He nodded his head because he had no clue what to say. Anna had caught him red handed and then he was confused that he was a thief. Anna told her sister, " It turns out that he was a thief that stole my heart."

Margaret laughed, " This is truly like a fairytale ,love at first sight." There was a knock on the door ,Margaret opened the door and it was King James and Queen Mary, they entered and Queen Mary cried when she saw Anna , " Oh Anna you are so beautiful my dear."King James said, " Anna are you ready? It is time to start the ceremony." Anna said proudly, " Yes I am ready ." King James took his daughter's hand and led the way down to the garden and her mother and sister held her wedding gown right behind her."

When they reached Anna saw Sly standing next to Sam , he looked at her impatiently for the ceremony to begin. She gave him a smile and he looked into her eyes. She whispered softly to him, " I am just minutes away from becoming your wife, my darling Sly."

They stood there and looked into each other's eyes holding hands. The minister right in front of them as they pledge their undying love to one another, about to say their vows. Sly stands up tall and tell Anna who is standing in front of him." Anna, you are my shining star at the end of a dark tunnel, a tunnel that I lived in for many years before you brought me back to life. At the beginning of our journey together I thought you were a spoiled princess but in the end you proved me wrong. Your a fearless and brave women that always lets nothing stand in the way of her happiness." His words brought tears down Anna's eyes as she wiped them off she smiled at Sly and said, " Sly from the beginning you were the thief that stole my heart ,you are my first and last love and plan to love and respect you as my husband till the day I die. I have been waiting for a prince like you to build my future with and who accepts me for who I am and what I stand for. We have struggled a lot to reach to where we are now but as they say 'The end justify the means." Now we are standing here about to wed ,I feel our journey as reach to a complete circle." In the background Anna could hear the sobbing sound of our mother and sister. While the ministry pronounced them man and wife ," You may kiss the bride." Sly took Anna towards her and kissed while they heard their loved ones cheering on.

In the background there was music playing and Sly took Anna to the ballroom and danced with his new bride. He smiled, " So my darling wife how are you feeling." Anna kissed him on the cheek and whispered in his ears ,"I feel like I am in heaven. " Sly agreed to that , " You made all my dreams come true today." She smiled, " And I planned to continue to do so till the rest of my life." I have a big surprise for you and it is out side. She ran with him like a little school girl, out side she saw four horses saddled ready to be ridden on. She was confused, " Ok you know that I love ridding horses but why are their four horses darling."

Sam and Margaret came walking towards them, Sam said, " Because we are coming with you." Anna and Margaret were both confused, Margaret told Sam, " Please don't tell me we are going to my sister and your brother's honeymoon." Sly laughed, " No the honeymoon is tomorrow, as for tonight you to have to follow us because my brother and I have huge surprise. "

Anna and Margaret did as they were told , they rode on their horses following the men to see what they had in store for them. It was a long ride Anna was getting tired, " Are we there yet?" Sly laughed, " Tried already my princess." She replied, " No but I would like to know where we are going." Margaret asked, " What are you sneaky two brothers up too. That is what I would like to knew ,is this trip more important than Sly taking Anna to a honeymoon.?"

Sam answered, " This trip is what you and your sister would consider a very important trip and it has to do with tradition."

Then Sly and Sam stopped suddenly, Anna noticed this place it is close to Jack's clothes shop .Anna said, " Now I know were we are we are going to see your best friend Jack right Sly?" Sly answered, " Well you are right Anna we are close to Jack's home but we are not hear to see him." They all stopped there horse next to a small house, Anna asked, " What a lovely cottage who lives there?" Sly smiled, " Well my dear Anna surprise! This is my parents home."

Anna gave Sly a big grin, " Oh my goodness ,so we are here to finally meet your parents." At that moment a man and a woman came out of the cottage and shouted, " Sam and Sly you came back to see us my dear sons." Sly helped Anna get out of her horse and they greeted his parents, " Yes mother we are back and this is my wife Anna." His parents greeted her with great joy, " Sly this is wonderful news you are married." Sam also introduced his parents to Margaret," Mom and dad, this is Margaret Anna's sister. We are seeing each other." His parents greeted the two sisters , " Welcome Anna and Margaret to our humble home.

Sly's mother exclaimed, " We should organize a party because you and Anna are married and invite all the villagers!" Anna and Sly liked the idea and decided to help his mother organize it .It is going to take place tomorrow afternoon, but that night Sly took Anna to a private hotel just the two of them, he placed candles around the room . It was going to be a romantic evening just for the two of them. Anna got out of the bathroom wearing a white robe , Sly told her, " You look like an angle my wife." She came closer to him, " And you my darling husband are the devil." They gigThe next day was a very busy day Anna helped Sly's mum organize the party.It was going to be in the outdoors forest area , next to the nature . " Oh princess, I hope the party will be to your liking because over here we do things more simple than in the castle." Anna replied, " Oh don't worry about that I enjoy a life of simplicity." Sly 's mother was shocked to hear her say that, " I think I am going to like you and your sister a lot. " Anna laughed, " We love you a lot too."

gled and laid in bed in each others arms. The next day was a very busy day Anna helped Sly's mum organize the party.It was going to be in the outdoors forest area , next to the nature . " Oh princess I hope the party will be to your liking because over here we do things more simple than in the castle." Anna replied, " Oh don't worry about that I enjoy a life of simplicity." Sly 's mother was shocked to hear her say that, " I think I am going to like you and your sister a lot. " Anna laughed, " We love you a lot too." Anna was surprised to see how much decoration they put for this party. In the castle they did put so much effort into decorations and balloons and party streamers. " I can get used to this place!" Anna exclaimed , " I love it already no formal dresses no certain way to dance and no thinking of the way you appear to people." Sly came from behind her and wrapped your arms around her and said, " Oh my darling wife I know you are fascinated by those traditions but I know you would miss Mona fixing you a beautiful warm bubble bath." Anna kissed him, " You know me too well my husband."

The party began with a bang the drums were playing continuously and hearing the trumpets playing loudly made Anna and Sly shake their body and dance. They were surrounded by all there friends and family and Anna could be happier than she was in that moment. Sly's best friend Jack also there he was actually enjoying his time with Mona. Anna had give her the day off to let come and enjoy the party.Anna whispered to Sly, " Time for us to play match making with your friend Jack and Mona." Sly laughed, " It seems that love is in the air , I wonder were your sister and my brother are." Anna smiled , " At this moment I don't want to think of anybody but ourselves." Sly agreed .

Anna looked and admired her husband he didn't come from a wealthy family nor did he learn how to become a gentleman but he was the best man any girl could ask for. Her father king James asked to dance with his daughter, Sly said, " Oh your highness." Sly bowed gracefully.

Anna danced with her father, King James told Anna, " He is such a fine man ,your husband. You know Anna I am so happy that you didn't listen to your old man and instead you followed your heart and I am so proud of you." Anna happily said, " Oh father I am so happy you approve with what I have done. I love you." She hugged her dad, He replied, " I have a surprise for the both of you after the party ends." They parted then Anna told Sly what her father said, Sly asked , " I wonder what the surprise is ."

The party ended and everybody was gone and Anna saw her parents excitedly coming over to see them. Queen Mary excited said ," Quickly Anna and Sly it is time for your surprise and it is out side come on." They follow the king and queen out side into the garden . To Sly and Anna 's surprise when they reached the garden they saw a beautiful house that covered half of the garden. Anna was at awe, " Father , mother what is all this ?" Anna's mother giggled, " This is your new house ,you and your husband.This way you will be close by and still have you privacy. Do you like it?" Anna and Sly thanked them." Oh we do, we love it!" They held hands and entered their house , it was not as huge as the castle but it so nice and cosy ,just like Anna and Sly like it. They couldn't be more happier.

After a few years

Anna went out of their house and looked into the garden , "Ten , nine, eight, seven, six Five, four, three two and one. Now ready or not I am going to find you ." Anna went near the bushes and heard some children giggling , she followed the sound and saw two loving and cute boy and a girl hiding by the bushes. She did not want to startle them , "Where are you Rosa and your brother Safe ? " She pretended that she didn't see them. To give them more time to enjoy there hiding spot, but their father Sly just barged in, " Who wants some snacks with milk?" He came in carrying a box of delicious goods. Rosa and Safe rushed out of their hiding places, towards their father screaming, " I do! I do!" Anna came and kissed Sly, " You spoil them too much honey." Sly laughed, " Well they are like their mother a spoiled princess and a spoiled prince." Anna smiled having Safe and Rosa have completed their lives but Anna made sure they understood where they came from. If you are them they would say, " We are both villagers like our dad and royalty like our mother." That is how Sly and Anna wanted to be for their kids. To know both worlds how to be an ordinary child and how to be a royal child, they both attend a normal school like their father Sly ,while as they attended royal party that teach them proper etiquettes like Anna and their kids enjoyed both worlds.

They learnt how to adjust to both worlds, In the castle they play in the garden and love animals like their mother does, Sly also got them a rabbit. " Daddy what a cute rabbit? We love it ." In the forest their father taught them to gather food and made a swing for them from wood and rope and they enjoy playing next to the river, every weekend the family go for a picnic in the forest and enjoy the nature.

At the end of the day Anna and Sly are very happy with each other, it was night at the kids were asleep in the castle, Anna and Sly were dancing outside on the balcony. Anna laughed, Sly asked her, " What is so funny my love?" Anna answered, " I just noticed this is the first time I saw you here outside my balcony window. I thought right then you were a poor ,annoying thief." Sly asked her, " Now what do you think of me?" Anna whispered in his ears, " That you are the man who stole my heart." He kissed her and said," Your heart will stay stolen with me forever."
