ROYAL WEDDING

14 Months later

(1 year 2 months later, August the next year).

11th of August.

"My dearest Winter,

I Princess Diana of ofuland promise to love and cherish you, through all of life's moments. You're my rock, my partner, and best friend. I vow to support and love you, always.

Forever and always, my love." I said as the crowd cheered on behind me.

My heart was beating and my entire body shaking, I have never felt pressure the way I was feeling at this moment, but finally it is happening 'ahhhhh' I can barely hold my excitement in.

"You may now, kiss your bride" the priest said as winter walked closer to give me a kiss.

"I love you" he whispered as he placed his soft lips on mine.

"Yay" the crowd cheered on, this was a special day for me and I am glad everyone is here to celebrate it with me.

"Congratulations your majesty"

"Congratulations"

"Congratulations your majesty"

"Congratulations" a line of people came to congratulate me as they dropped their gifts, few I know the rest were all strangers to me.

I can't believe this has finally happened, it all felt like yesterday, it all felt like I met winter yesterday and now this is our wedding, I am in tears.

"Come on, come and dance with us" Idar dragged me to the dance floor as she began to sway my hips and my entire body to dance, I could see the smile on everyone's face, they all looked happy for me this is finally happening.

"Mr's Winter" I said as we both began to laugh, I can't believe I am his wife it all happened so fast.

"I am glad you finally found someone who treats you right" Idar said as we danced away, the day seems to be longer than usual and I did not mind that, I wanted it to last forever, if this was a dream I don't want to be taken up from it.

"Yeah" I said teary as I stole a glance from Winter, he really is my knight in shining armour, and I love him for that.

"You deserve it girl" Idar said as she grabbed a bottle of wine from a table and began to chug it down, I guess there was no use for me anymore.

"So this is goodbye?" I could hear her holding back her tears as Lina embraces me in a warm hug.

"Come on now, I would never stop being your princess" I just got married, I never reliquised my title as future Queen of ofuland, besides I was an only child there was no one next in line for the throne besides me.

"I would miss styling you daily my princess" Lina began to sob.

"I would miss that too but hey, I would be back soon" I assured her.

"Yes I know, and the fact that your mother accepted your fiancée is what surprises me" Lina said.

"Well I guess you can say luck was in my side" I responded as she began to cry gently.

"Come on, no one in dying I would be back before you know it" i said as i cleaned her tears, even if she was my royal stylist she was also my friend and I would miss her for the time being.

"Princess" Grace joined in on the hug.

"My princess, I would really miss you" grace said softly.

"What are you talking about? You are coming with me" I wonder what was going through her head, she always followed me everywhere, I'm just married I am not being excommunicated.

"Gather around, why don't we make a toast" Mom said as she hit her glass cup with a spoon.

"To love, to Diana to winter" she started with her basic ass toast, for the first time she wasn't bitter to me, although she had opposed the wedding up until last week, it makes me happy to see her support me and my goals.

"I am happy to have such a blessed daughter in-law, she is like the daughter I never had..."

"Or needed" I heard someone from the crowd say, the exact person wasn't identifiable as we were all standing together and there was noise coming from different angles.

"Thank you" I said to my mother in-law as I tried to compose myself, I don't want to let someone's bad intentions ruin my happy day.

"Oh I thank the lord for sparing my life, I am glad I am able to attend such a grand event I am so happy for you" gran gran sure was old but that wouldn't stop her from yapping.

"Diana finally found her one true love and he is so charming, loving and generous, everything you want in a life partner he has it, congratulations once again dear" gran gran said as the crowd began to slowly disperse to the back.

"What's going on there" Idar asked as something seems to be carrying everyone's attention, it wasn't me neither was it the groom so what could it be?

"I think it's going to be a boy this time around" I heard Fred mom talking to another guest.

"A boy?" What's that? I was in total confusion as I followed the crowed to see what was going on at my own wedding, what could be dragging so many people's attention.

"Pop" multiple balloons pooped emmiting blue powdery substance from them.

Where did all these balloon come from? Where did all these decoration come from? Who is doing this to me? I had a million questions to ask and I did not have an answer to any.

"Yaaay it's a boy" I could hear a group of people celebrating as I got closer, what's going on this is my wedding.

"Congratulations aunty" Deeja said as she handed a boxed gift to my mom, she wasn't invited to my wedding what was she doing here?

"Aunty? Mom?" I was now standing in front of them, someone was holding a gender reveal at my wedding?

"Diana" Winter's voice was soft and gentle, he sounded worried.

"Mom?" I couldn't believe my eyes, where did all these people come from? Why is she wearing white?

"Since the princess has decided to pick a man over her throne, I am going to give the people of ofuland a real heir to the throne, A son" the entire hall went silent as everyone gasped.

What? What is going on?

"Diana let's go" winter grabbed my hand as he began to pull me away from her.

"That's right, run away I wasn't expecting anything better from you" mom said as we walked to the car.

"A new prince is coming ofuland" she began to laugh as I walked out.
