Enchanted

Authors Note- I hope you guys are ready for this very special chapter. I took lots of inspiration from my own wedding and ceremony for our special Charlotte and Mia. Their vows are the sweetest and definitely so hard to say when you are deeply in love.

It was late in the night before their wedding and Charlotte couldn't sleep at all. She tossed and she turned and couldn't get her mind to turn off. She didn't want to wake up Mia who was peacefully sleeping beside her. So instead she went down into the kitchen to make herself a cup of tea. She was surprised to find Renee writing at the table.

"Hi Ren, what are you doing awake?" She walked around the counter and began to make her tea. "Need some tea to relax?"

Renee looked up from her paper and smiled at her mom,"I'm just working on a surprise for Mom. I've been working on it all night long."

Charlotte peered over at what she was writing,"A surprise? What is it? I promise I'll keep it a secret."

Renee took a moment to reply, each time she tried to talk about it she found herself tearing up.

"Well mom, I know that people normally give speeches at weddings and I really wanted to surprise both you and Mia with a speech I've written. But you know now… I just want her to know how thankful Ellie and I are for her taking us as her own daughters. I know she didn't have to do that." Renee wipes a tear from her cheek, " I just really love how happy she makes you and us too. She really is just so perfect for our family. I love her so much, Mom."

Charlotte couldn't help but get emotional listening to Renee,"Oh Renee, that is so thoughtful of you. Mia really saved us as a family didn't she? Without her, I would've never seen you girls again if your dad had it his way." She walked over to her daughter and gave her a hug,"But because of Mia, we live such a wonderful life together as a family and it gives me such peace knowing you have two loving parents now."

There was a soft silence as the two girls embraced and held each other. Charlotte gently rubbed Renee's back while Renee relished in her mother's loving touch.

"Try not to stay up too long, my lovie. It's late and we've got a big day don't we?"

Charlotte smiled and gave her a kiss on her head before grabbing her cup of tea. She was about to head back upstairs when Renee called out to her.

"Mom?"

"Yes?"

"Will you tuck me in please?"

"Of course. Let's go love." Charlotte got Renee all settled into her bed. She was so happy that even at 13 years old that Renee still wanted her "mommy" to tuck her in sometimes.

Time passed by so slowly through the night and Charlotte didn't sleep a wink. But no one would know that because she was running off of high adrenaline and just couldn't contain her excitement. She was ready to wake up Mia exactly at 7am and gave her quite a big good morning kiss.

"Mia!! It's our wedding day!!" She squealed in excitement. Even though Mia wasn't a morning person, she loved when Charlotte woke her up in such a cute way.

"I know,sweet girl! It's our big day!" She chuckled, "I guess we need to start heading to the venue, hm?  Talked with your mom and she's coming here with Ellie and Renee until they have to come for the ceremony. Just so they're not bored."

"Okay! Let's get our dresses and kiss the girls goodbye. Marjorie and Reese just messaged that they're at the venue setting up the getting ready room."

Charlotte was so excited she thought her heart would explode inside of her chest. Mia was just as excited but was playing it cool, she wanted to stay calm so she could double check they had everything. Once everything was packed up in the car, they began the journey to the castle. They rode in comfortable silence and held hands as Mia drove.
