Vampire's Bride

The Wedding

Out of every day in my entire life I've dreaded today the most. Today is the day Jacob and I marry. I sat inside of the dressing room having my hair and makeup done. I've never wanted to curl up in a ball and die so much in my entire life.

Camille looked at me, scared "Are you okay?"

I sigh "Yeah, I just don't want to go through with this wedding."

She rubs my back "Hey, anytime after the wedding you guys can file for divorce."

"I just hope this gets over soon."

Everything this morning has been hectic. Everyone is hustling around. Mother, Camille, Lorelai, and Diane help me into my poofy wedding dress. I slipped in my silver shoes then put my crown and veil on.

I stood up and frowned "Do I have to do this?"

Mother rubbed my arm "Yes" and frowned.

Jacob and the groomsmen walk outside into the ceremonial room then the bridesmaids walk out and it's now my turn. I walk out and frown. Upset with this aspect of my life. I begin to walk down the aisle and see Jacob up at the altar. He doesn't look too excited. I eventually made it to the altar after thinking for the third time while walking that I should run away.

The ordain said "Please be seated" and smiled "We're all here today to celebrate the relationship of Princess Elena Willow Adolpha-Delvaux of Persiania and Chief Jacob Parker Adolpha of Kingstone and to be witnessed by friends, family members, and supporters of the commitment they share with one another. Chief Jacob and Princess Elena wanted me to thank you all for being here today to celebrate their unity as one. Of the important people in their lives that have influenced them growing as a person we'd give a great thanks to their parents. With that being said, who gives Princess Elena away in marriage to this man?"

My father stood up and smiled "Her mother and I."

"A good marriage is built on the foundation of commitment. The road that has brought Princess Elena and Chief Jacob here today hasn't been easy. It's been filled with challenges that they weren't necessarily prepared for. But together they've taken each one on and have used those experiences to strengthen, not weaken their love. Princess Elena and Chief Jacob have agreed to skip their vows."

I sigh and he rubs my hand with his thumb "I'm sorry..."

The ordain smiles "Princess Elena and Chief Jacob will now exchange rings to symbolize their commitment. Rings are derived from humble beginnings of imperfect metal to create something striking where there was once nothing at all. It is customarily worn on the ring finger with a vein running directly to the heart. The wearing of the rings is a visible, outward sign that they have committed themselves to one another " Diane walks down the aisle with Ezekiel, the ring bearer "Chief Jacob, please take Princess Elena's hand and repeat these words. I give you this ring, as a symbol of my love."

"I give you this ring, as a symbol of my love."

"For today and tomorrow, and for the days to come."

"For today and tomorrow, and for the days to come."

"Wear it as a sign of what we have promised on this day."

"Wear it as a sign of what we have promised on this day."

"And know that my love is present."

"And know that my love is present."

"Even when I am not."

"Even when I am not" Jacob places the ring on my finger.

The ordain clears his throat "Princess Elena, please take Chief Jacob's hand and repeat these words" he smiles "I give you this ring, as a symbol of our love."
