I inhaled sharply as Annabeth glided down the isle, looking even more beautiful than Aphrodite herself. Her blonde hair glistened in the Autumn sunlight, her grey eyes glistening with tears.
Time seemed to stop as Annabeth stood next to me and laced her fingers with mine. I had never felt so nervous. The audience of Gods, demigods, parents, satyrs, nymphs and of course Chiron - who was performing the ceremony, a father to both of the lovers.
As time rolled by, tears were shed and finally it was time for the vows.
"Seaweed Brain, I remember when I first met you - half dead, crying but still the bravest demigod I'd ever met. I didn't think I could trust or love anyone after Luke, but you taught me how without even realising. When I thought I was going to lose all those countless times. When Hera stole you. I still kept loving you, you're a part of me and I love you so, so, so much Kelp Head. Gods I do. You went through Hell for me. I just hope I can repay you enough my saying yes." Annabeth was crying, tears glistening on her cheeks.
"Wise Girl, saying yes is more than enough! My whole world is complete as soon as I look at you. You are brave, intelligent, honest, kind and everything I wish for. You help me, love me, care for me and I love you too much. Gods, I loved you before I knew it myself: on Calypso's Island, whenever I saw you, on our quests, when I thought I was going to lose you to Luke, that knife, in the laybrinth, when you outsmarted Arachne." I took her hands. "I want to be yours forever Wise Girl, if you'd have me. I want to wake up on a morning and the first thing I see is your beautiful face. I would love to have a little mini Seaweed Brain and Wise Girl. So, Annabeth, my Annabeth, will you be my Wise Girl forver?"
"Yes! Gods yes" she whispered. I picked her up and twirled her around before setting her down and kissing her, feeling the same as I did in the dining pavillion all those years ago.
No we could be together forever, and nothing, not even the Gods could change that. She is my soulmate, my heart, my world and we could finally be husband & wife.
