It's been a while. Five years since everything and well, Holden and I are finally engaged!!! And of course, I insisted that our Wedding be during the Winter! It's the most magical time of the year! But boy, did I have something coming for me!

*Real time*

September 21'st

"Good morning!" Holden smiled as Elizabeth got out of her room and yawned. "Oh my, I'm sorry – she laughed, "Good morning"

"It's almost Christmas isn't it!" Elizabeth squealed excitedly

"Yeah of course... Your family sure is into the Christmas Spirit." He laughed

"Yeah."

"So what's on the itinerary today?" Holden asked looking over his fiancé's shoulder. "Well, I actually collect  the dress today!" she exclaimed excitedly. "Interesting. Speaking of which is it actually bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding?" Holden asked cheekily, laughing a little. "You just want to see how beautiful I'll look in the wedding dress," she giggled kissing his cheek for a second. "Well for this sake, you will have to wait just a little. But I will let your mum and dad be there. "Your job however is to stay at the castle and prepare the invitations. It'll be fun!" "Not as fun as being with you." He responded brushing her hand. Elizabeth blushed a little. "Well, we better get going, the cook doesn't want her food to get cold," they laughed.

They both walked down the stairs holding each other's hand. Elizabeth gracefully gave a curtsy to her father and mother and her future in-laws. "Oh, it's wonderful to see both of you," they all smiled admiring the couple. The two of them took a seat at the dining table and discussed their plans for that day.

They had a great time talking and discussing the plans for the day. "Well. I guess today's the day," Elizabeth smiled walking down the stairs. Whispers were all she could hear around her. "What's the matter?" she asked sheepishly. "Nothing. You just look gorgeous!" Holden said. She tilted her head disbelievingly and rushed down the stairs. Her relatives took her hand and she waved goodbye to her fiancé. "Love you. Have a great day." She wished to him. "You too!" Try not to miss me too much." she said just before she was pushed out the door excitedly, she smiled waving goodbye sheepishly,

They all climbed into the limousine gracefully. "So...." Went her mother-in-law, breaking the awkward silence. Elizabeth turned to her. "So, are you eager to collect your wedding dress?" she asked. "Well... Of course! Basically, that's my goal." Before anyone could respond, the limousine's tires squeaked, and it came to an unfortunate stop. Her mother and father-in-law leaned forward with a jolt. "What do we even pay you for?!" they argued. "I'm sorry, your highnesses. It's something happening." Elizabeth looked outside the window. "Yeah, there's something going on for sure.... Iss that - snow - blocking the roads"

"Stop the car!" she yelled. The driver immediately pulled the car to the side of the road. "I need to help." She said concerned. "Darling, I know you're trying to help but today is your special day, we can't let you be late." Her father suggested. "Dad, when it comes to Scuttle's safety, I will stop my whole life to protect them all. Let me.... This once"

She went to speak to the traffic officers. "Oh! Your highness. We're very sorry for the delay." They apologized. "It's no problem. I'm just here to help.... But – Isn't it the heights of summer.... Why is there snow here?" "We don't really know, you're highness. The snow just built up this morning." " Really?" "Of course. But have you tried using the cranes to transfer the snow to the dump houses?" she asked them. "Well... We have tried using the shovels but not the cranes. The cranes aren't available at the moment. We only have one member of our team who can operate the Cranes as well. At the moment, the special operating team is delayed because of the snow."
