Bonus Chapter 4- Everywhere, Everything

Future! Varian edit I made! I tried to make him look a lil bit older, and I think I did an okay job (if i had time I'd make him look a bit older lol) :)
He's in his early twenties in this shot; ponytail curtesy of an angel.

Also, you'll notice that this chapter lacks descriptions for the wedding outfit (YN) wears. It's not bc I'm lazy and want to avoid any extra descriptions, I just want you guys to have full creative control over your wedding fit! So let your imaginations run wild.

Also also, I hope you're hungry bc I accidentally made this chapter 7k words 0-0

Enjoy!

My morning begins like a fairytale book being flipped open by bluebirds. Before I can even decipher what's causing it, I feel the most stunning sense of excitement nestled within me. It's instinctual, in a way, like breathing. I bask in the blissful feeling for a moment until Dandelion hops onto my chest and tickles me with her furry little nose. Her fuzzy white paws feel like cotton balls. I giggle at the feeling and sit up, holding the bunny against my chest.

The first rays of the morning sun leak into my room and turn the outfit in the corner a brilliant shade of gold. My eyes travel to the woodland creature in my arms, who gazes at me expectantly. Daintily, I rub the pad of my thumb along her cheek. "You couldn't let me sleep in for an extra five minutes on my wedding day?" I gently chide.

My eyes widen as the weight of my words sinks in. My attention flicks back to the wedding outfit, perfect in every way. It can only be described as a dream. "It's my wedding day," I mumble the sentence as though I have to remind myself of an event so momentous.

A smile leaks onto my lips as I hold Dandelion outward and stare into her black eyes. "It's my wedding day!!" I squeal as I tell the important news to my rabbit, who stares at me as if to say, 'obviously.' She tilts her head toward my hand where my engagement ring rests. Like a child too excited to contain her energy, I kick my feet a bit.

I place Dandelion on my plush bed and dart out of my bedroom and into the hall, not even bothering to throw on my robe. I'm too elated to care about the scolding I might receive from Nigel. "It's my wedding day!!!" I cheer the news into the bustling halls of the castle and a couple of passing maids snicker at my antics.

"We know, Princess." Faith giggles and pats my shoulder, shifting her stack of salad plates to one hand.

"Sorry, I'm just— I can't believe today finally arrived!!"

Ethel, one of the few maids who was allowed to know of my existence as a child, approaches Faith and me. "Are you nervous?" Her crinkled face reminds me of how long I've known her.

Scanning my mind for any hints of paranoia, I'm surprised to realize that there's none to be found. "No, actually." I clasp my hands over my front. "I've wanted to spend my life with Varian since I was a little girl. He's all I've ever wanted and I know he feels the same. Today we're just making it official; what's there to worry about?"

"You're handling your emotions a lot better than I was on my wedding day." Faith smiles, and I'm reminded of the day she and her wife got married a few months ago. The poor girl was so nervous that everything had to be perfect; she locked herself in the dressing room for two hours.

I look at my ring thoughtfully. "I've spent so much time being worried about the future...but with him, I have nothing to fear."

Ethel passes her stack of salad plates to Faith, who squeaks from the sudden added weight to her load. Before I can process what's happening, she's thrown her arms around me and is sniffling into my nightgown.
