One week later, Zuveron and Natalie were planning their wedding in the conference hall. At noon, they were going to make a huge announcement in front of the whole Kingdom. Zuveron asked
"How many guests are we inviting?"
"The whole kingdom of course" she replies
Mitus came in pushing the wooden doors to the side, "Thats way too many people, that's insane. That's over a million people"
Natalie replied "You're right, how about we invite.."
she put her index finger to her chin and looks up to the ceiling, "how about we invite at least two hundred"
Zuveron and Mitus nodded, Mitus said "that's good"
Natalie said "we are having the wedding in the castle"
Zuveron replied "Yeah, we should have it in the conference hall"
Natalie says "I agree. The wedding should be in a month"
Zuveron says "why? your going to be having a baby soon." He points to her stomach with the palm of his hand. "We should do it before then"
She replied, "yes, we should. How about.. in another two weeks"
Mitus and Zuveron said "that sounds like a plan"
The king left the conference hall, Zuveron and Natalie ordered knights to notify the kingdom that they are going to get married in the conference hall. It took twenty minutes for the knights to gather all the citizens. There was a balcony outside Mitus's office. The view was beautiful, the sun went through trees and the shadows of the tall buildings making shade for the people. Mitus was in his office, Natalie knocked on the door and the king answered,
"Come in, the people are waiting for your big announcement"
Natalie and Zuveron went to the balcony, the people were cheering for both of them. Zuveron shouted "silence!"
The people stopped cheering, Natalie said "we are getting married in the conference hall! only two hundred of you can come!"
The citizens of Serenity cheered, A man said
"We love you Natalie!"
Natalie blew a kiss to him. She and Zuveron went inside and were excited for their wedding. Natalie said
"Dad, we are going to a couple of restaurants to see who should cater our wedding"
Mitus replied, " There are cooks in the castle that can do it"
She replied "yeah, you're right. We can go to the kitchen right now"
Mitus said "ok, tell me what your decision is"
Zuveron and Natalie went downstairs to the restaurant. It was crowded, the servers and chefs looked really busy. The chefs had white aprons and a white hat. The servers had black suits with red ties. Once Natalie and Zuveron came in, the citizens stopped what they were doing and bowed on one knee. They got up and continued to eat their food. Zuveron said
"I think we should stop by another time"
Natalie replied "our wedding is in two weeks we need to choose the food now"
Zuveron and Natalie went to the bartender, Zuveron said "excuse me"
The bartender that had a name tag stitched on to his suit. His name was Dean and he had brown hair and brown eyes. He turned around while he was cleaning a glass cup with a towel,
"How may I help you, Natalie and Zuveron"
Natalie replies "we are having a wedding in two weeks and we were wondering if you would like to cater our wedding"
The bartender says "we would be delighted to" he turns back and yells to the cooks, "the princess wants us to cater her wedding"
The cooks smile at the bartender and continue cooking. Zuveron says,
"We will come back later, we know you are busy"
The bartender replies "ok, I will tell them"
Zuveron and Natalie leave the restaurant and go back to the conference hall to plan. Hours go by and the sun sets in the distance. Zuveron and Natalie go back to the restaurant after it closes. Natalie knocks on the wooden door. The bartender from earlier opened the door. The bartender looked around to see if anyone saw them and he closed it. He said
"Zuveron and Natalie, how are you doing are you ready to eat?"
They both said "We are doing great, yes, we are ready"
The bartender said "The cooks are preparing food for you, take a seat and we will be right with you"
He goes to the kitchen, Zuveron and Natalie both take a seat at a table near the window and look out into the dark sky with glowing white stars. The bartender comes out with two plates that has steak and mashed potatoes. He puts the steak in front of Natalie and Zuveron, he says
"Enjoy"
He walks away, Natalie and Zuveron take a bite. Natalie points her fork to the steak,
"This is really good, what's your opinion?"
Zuveron replies "it's great, I think we shouldn't try anything else because this is good. I don't want to change anything"
Natalie shouts to the bartender "We have made a decision!"
The bartender comes over to the table, "there are three more dishes coming out. Are you sure you want to leave?"
Zuveron replies "we are sure, thank the chefs for the dinner"
Natalie nodds "Thank you" she puts four gold coins into his pocket on his chest. They left the restaurant. As they were leaving, Zuveron says to Natalie,
"I need to do something"
She says "what is it?"
"I can't tell you"
Natalie says "we shouldn't lie to each other, we are going to get married in two weeks. We also are about to have a child, so tell me"
Zuveron replies "you have a valid point, I'm going to deliver a letter to my brother Gandor"
She replied "was that so hard"
Natalie goes to her bedroom and Zuveron goes to the guest room and writes a letter to Gandor,
"Dear Gandor, I'm writing to announce that you are invited to me and Natalie's wedding, it's in two weeks. Hope you can make it."
Your Brother, Zuveron
Zuveron goes to the river and puts it in the water, Two weeks later, it's the morning of their wedding. Zuveron was in the guest bedroom downstairs getting ready for his wedding. He said
"Dad" as he looked around the room
Garo appeared in front of him. Zuveron said "you are missing something"
Garo replied "oh"
He raised his hand against his body and a purple cloud covered his torso. A black tuxedo appeared on Garo, he said,
"Is this good?"
"Yes, is Gandor coming? I sent him a letter" Zuveron replies,
Garo replies "I don't know"
Gandor was in the castle taking a nap in his bedroom, one of his merman servants knocked in the door, he opens the door,
"How may I help you?"
The servant hands the letter to Gandor. He closes the door and scans the letter, he says
"Oh crap, it's today!"
He swims out of his bedroom and makes an announcement to the whole Anaquas Kingdom. The creatures of the sea surround the castle,
"I'm going to my brother Zuveron's wedding. I need one of you to be in charge." He points to one of the mermen guards and gives him the trident, "if anyone threatens you, use it on them"
The merman nodded, he swims up to the surface and goes to the kingdom. Knights are guarding the entrance of the castle, one of the knights say,
"Who are you?"
Gandor pulls out the letter,
"I'm here for the wedding"
The knights let him in and there are people running around to get the wedding-ready. He yells
"Zuveron! I'm here!"
From the guest room, Zuveron can hear Gandor yelling out his name. Zuveron and Garo close the door, they see Gandor in front of the large staircase. Zuveron hugs his brother,
"Thank you for coming. The wedding is about to start. I know it's last-minute, Gandor will be my best man?"
Gandor replies, "yes, it would be an honor" he puts his hand to his chest.
They all go into the conference hall, Garo takes his seat. As Natalie was getting ready, Mitus was outside her door, she said "I'm ready, you can come in"
Mitus opened the door, he sobbed because of how amazing she looked. She was wearing a beautiful long white dress. The sleeves were past her hands and the dress perfectly shaped her fit physique. Her father said,
"You look beautiful. Now, Zuveron and your guests are waiting for you"
Natalie and Mitus left the dressing room. He locked the door and went to the conference hall. Natalie linked elbows with Mitus and they walked down the aisle that had a red carpet leading to Zuveron with a black suit with gold lines on his torso and a turtle neck. The pianist was playing the piano as Natalie was walking down the aisle. The guests were starring at her as her beauty was reflecting off of her. Mitus sat down and Natalie stood face to face with Zuveron. The priest was bald and had a gold robe with a green hood over his shoulders. He said
"We are gathered here today to celebrate the holy matrimony between Zuveron and Natalie. Zuveron, do you take this woman to be your wife?"
Zuveron replies "I do"
The priest says "Natalie do you take Zuveron as your husband?"
She replies "I do"
The priest says "I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride"
Zuveron dips Natalie and they kiss. Everyone stands up and claps.
