The big wedding day

The big day has arrived and the princess was woken up early, so they can get enough time to get ready. The guests have started pouring into the large place where the ceremony will take place. The princess is being thoroughly washed by the servant girls as it is a tradition, it is believed that this makes the bride even more pure.

She sits on the chair as 4 people all attempt at fixing her up for the wedding. She had no idea that this is what weddings are like. Once they are done with her face and hair, they ask her to wear the dress as this is the final product.

She goes to try it on and the reaction of everyone in the room is the same. She wonders why they are crying as they aren't' familiar with her as she hasn't been around. Some of them she ha never seen before . A knock is heard on the door ad like she anticipated it is the queen.

She enters and orders everyone to leave. 'You look so beautiful Savannah' she cries with tears in her yes. 'I never thought I would see this day coming. I am so happy right now' she says with her tissue in hand , as she wipes away at the faint tears that are collected by the comer of her eye.

The poor girl doe's know what to do so she simply gives the queen a hug. Once they pull away she recites the words 'I am so glad that you are marrying my son and even though he is a pain in the behind for now. He will come around' she says.

'I am glad that my son is going to have a girl like you married to him. You know that you are to provide a male heir to the throne as soon as possible. Exactly nine months from now, you should be with Sebastien's child' she tells her.

And as another tradition, I am passing this down to you, the king's mother gave it to ,e , o this same day and now it's yours' she smiles her usual and hands the girl the necklace.

'Sebastien has to put it on you before you consummate the marriage tonight' she tells her .

That is when it hits her that she has to lay with Sebastien. All the feelings of nervousness and dread begin to hit her like a truck. She realizes that she never thought about it, that after the wedding and crowing ceremony , she'll have to be around him all the time everyday .

How is she going to manage , with someone like him. This isn't easy' she this out loud to herself once the queen leaves her chamber. Just as she is upon this this thought, there is yet again another knock. She goes to open for the person on the other side and notices that Arthur stands before her.

'Are you ready to get married?' he asks her.

'Well, I really am not but I don't have a choice so yeah. I want it over with and done'.

'You look beautiful by the way, I love the look' Arthur compliments her. Unexpectedly her cheeks turn the color red because of this.

'I don't think I can do this' she confesses out loud. She has learned that she feels safe around Arthur , she trusts him and she figures he'll say something to calm her down.

'There is nothing much to do, like you said but just know that 'll always be here for you. Won't leave you, so no matter what happen Arthur is here for you' he says kissing her on the mouth.

'Savannah is too tuned to speak but has tears in her eyes from this. They spend some time in each other's arms before it's time for her to go. She sits in front of the mirror and carefully nurses the tears on her face with a damp towel, so she doesn't ruin her face.

She sits there for a little while longer until, someone's is knocking. She smiles sadly and sucks it all in, replacing her previous smile with a happy one. A veil is put over her head and she is given some flowers to carry.

The girls walk behind her , as they hold her veil up for her. The ceremony starts and music begins. She stands behind a door waiting to go out there. She can tell that a lot of people made it to see the wedding.

The king comes and grabs her by the arm gently smiling at her. She is given the signal to go after the flower boys Noah and Oliver walk back to their seats after littering the carpet with flowers.

Everyone stands up to look her , as she makes her way to the front. She makes sure to take slow steps to the music. As makes her way to the front she realizes how many people attended the wedding.

It looks as though the whole country made their way to come and see the big event for themselves. She thinks about how hard this next part is going to be and she also start to tear up the fact that no one form her home country is here to see her.

She tries to control the tears but they seemingly fall, one after the other. When they make it to the front, the king let's go of her and she wishes he wouldn't because now she knows the next step follows and she is not ready for it.

Today's the begging of a new life, she'll be a queen and all and although someone in her shoes would be happy, she feels like running off somewhere into the dessert and never coming back.
