After Queen Clarion leaves, I realize that I didn't get my memories of Becky's former parents removed.

I flap my wings as fast as I can to catch up with Queen Clarion after telling Becky I'd be back.

"Queen Clarion!"

"Yes, Vidia?"

"I didn't get my memories of Becky's former parents removed."

"Thank you for telling me. I'll remove the memories at once."

After Queen Clarion removes my memories of Becky's former parents, I curtsy to my queen.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"You're welcome."

I leave after curtsying again, off to get Becky and see Gelata about her designs for my and Becky's wedding cake.

"Gelata, we're here to see the designs for our wedding cake." I say.

"You both have come at a very good time. I'm just about done with this cake." Gelata says, peeking out from behind a cake she's decorating for a fairy's Arrival Day.

Becky and I wait for Gelata to finish, watching her work.

After she's done, she flutters over to us.

"So, how many tiers do you want your cake to be?"

"Tiers?" I ask, not familiar with the term.

"How tall do we want our cake to be? Tiers are the rows of cake, increasing in size as it goes down." Becky says.

"Hmmm... three seems like a good number. What do you think, babe?"

"I think three is perfect."

"Alright. Three tiers it is. Now, what flavor of cake were you thinking?"

"Well, I love chocolate and red velvet cake." Becky says.

"And I love strawberry cake." I say.

"So, how about we do one layer chocolate, the second layer strawberry and the third layer a chocolate-strawberry swirl cake?"

"That sounds good!" Becky and I say.

"Perfect. Three tiers, chocolate, strawberry, and chocolate strawberry swirl. Any particular design for the icing?"

"We were thinking a simple star-tipped border would be at the bottom of each tier."

"Perfect. Thank you for your input. I'll get started on the cake a little closer to your wedding date."

"Thank you so much, Gelata." Becky says.

"You're welcome. Are you ready to get back to work?" Becky nods and gets back to work after kissing me. I leave for my own job.

After our work shifts are over, we head to see our friends to ask them to be in our bridal parties. Zephyr will be my maid of honor, Silvermist will be Becky's, Rosetta and Tink will be on my side and Iridessa and Fawn will be on Becky's side.

The next day, on our day off, we head to Tinkers' Nook to help Tink design our wedding rings.

"So, what were you girls thinking about for your wedding rings?" Tink asks us with parchment paper on her work table so she can design our rings.

"For me, I was thinking of a gold ring with tiny diamonds in a diagonal." Becky says.

"That's totally doable. Vidia, what about you?"

"I was thinking of something simple, like just a gold ring with three diamonds in the middle."

"That's also totally doable. I'll get started right away. Well, after we pick our bridesmaid dresses. What are your ring sizes?"

"Four and a half for me." Becky says.

"Five for me." I say.

"Great! Thank you!"

"You're welcome."

Becky and I leave to go to the Queen's Boutique with our friends so they can pick out the styles for their bridesmaid dresses.

Becky's side will be blue, since that's the color of the dress she wore when I proposed, and my side will be purple, since, besides it being my signature color, it's also the color of the dress I wore when I proposed.

After the girls pick their styles and their shade of blue and shade of purple, Becky and I leave to talk with the Minister of Spring about performing our wedding ceremony.

We find him in his gazebo.

"Ladies, so glad you could join me. Now, do you have a bridal party picked out, or are you omitting one?"

"We do have our wedding party picked out. Zephyr will be my maid of honor." I say.

"And Silvermist will be my maid of honor." Becky says

"Tink and Rosetta will be on my side."

"And Iridessa and Fawn will be on my side."

"Splendid! Do you have dresses picked out for your bridal parties? Flowers to carry?"

"Their dresses have been picked out, but we're omitting flowers."

"That's quite alright. Now, were you thinking under the cherry blossom tree for your ceremony?"

"Yes." Becky and I say.

"What about for the reception?"

"We were thinking about around here, near your gazebo, picnic style."

"That sounds wonderful. Now, what about a date?"

"We've been thinking about that and how about a few days after Becky's Arrival Day?"

"Splendid, splendid! Not too close to her Arrival Day, but not too far from it, either. Is that all you need from me?"

"It is."

"Well, enjoy the rest of your day, ladies. I'll see you at the rehearsal!"

We say our goodbyes to the Minister of Spring and head home.
