Planning the wedding seemed like a breeze for Aurora, Bridget and Gristle seemed to know exactly what they wanted, Aurora had the main job of making sure everything was running smoothly and everything was in place, also calming down the Groom as he started having a mental breakdown while getting ready with Prince D, Cooper and King Peppy.
"What if she rethinks marrying me? What if she decides to not go through with it," Gristle wheezed, talking into a brown paper bag as the other three males winced watching him, "Uh, can someone go grab Aurora?" King Peppy asked, Cooper nodding and leaving to find the older female troll, who was currently in Branch's grandmother's house with him.
Branch listened to his brother's album, Aurora watching him from near the door, letting him have his moment. "I miss them too," she spoke, tilting her head to try and catch Branch's face but all he could do is look sadly down at the record cover.
Poppy came in, a bright smile on her face as she fixed her dress, looking towards her boyfriend and then at Aurora who put on a smile for her, trying to hide the feelings she was going through.
Poppy seemed to notice something was wrong and cleared her throat, calling out, "Branch?" This knocked Branch out of his flashbacks, "What? Oh. Hey," stopping the record player and turning back to Poppy with a forceful smile on his face, looking like he was in pain. "Are you alright? You're smiling and crying at the same time, looks like it's hurting a little bit?" Poppy inquired, Branch playing with his hands by his sides as he had a horrible look on his face causing Aurora to giggle a little.
"It does hurt," he massaged out his cheeks, crossing his arms uncomfortably, looking around the house, "I guess I'm just missing my, um..My grandma!" he picked up the record and placed it back into its case, "I was just listening to some of her old records," Poppy caught a flash of the band name, instantly fan-girling over the group, "BroZone!? I love BroZone."
This seemed to excite Branch for a second, "Really?" before catching himself and putting on a 'cool' face, eyes catching Aurora's as she gave him a raised eyebrow, noticing his slip up, "I didn't know you liked them too?" Branch instantly denied it, saying he was hate listening and explained his grandmother had very questionable tastes. "Hey, don't you disrespect Grandma like that," Aurora joked, lightly tapping Branch on the shoulder, causing the two younger trolls to laugh.
Cooper stuck his head inside, "Hey Aurora, we have a situation,"
Aurora stood straight. Dusting the off shoulder, green dress that flowed around her, she looked back at the couple, "I'll see you guys in a little bit, I'm needed elsewhere, and Branch, it's okay," Branch understood what she meant and nodded, Poppy looking between the two siblings quickly in a questioning glance.

Arriving in the castle, Aurora hurried to Gristle's room where he was still breathing into a paper bag, Prince D rubbing his back in comfort. "Hey Grissy, what's going on?" Aurora's voice calmed him a little, but his frantic eyes caused her to lean back, arms out with wide eyes before she collected herself, "Wedding day jitters?" she questioned, hopping up onto the bed with him where he nodded slowly, arms visibly shaking.
"Well, it's okay. Let's take a slow deep breath in, and breathe out together," Gristle nodded, shuddering as they breathed in, "One, Two, Three, and Out, Two, Three," Aurora coached, urging the others to join and soon Gristle calmed down, thanking Aurora who patting his hand softly. "Hey, we all get nervous, but Bridget and you are meant to be together, she's been waiting for this day for forever, and you too, right?" Gristle smiled, "Yeah, she's the apple of my eye and the love of my life," he spoke, finding the confidence again causing them to cheer. "Then let's get you down to that alter so you can marry her!" Aurora laughed, the four trolls dragging him down the hallway before he could have another meltdown.
