The Prince and the Maid

Chapter 30

Grace pov
Kate and I were having a final fitting before the wedding. Since I'd lost a lot of weight from my surgery and Kate having George. We both wanted to make sure the dresses fit.

Kate went first, then I went second. "So tomorrow's the big day?" The seamstress asked. "Yes," "are you nervous?" She asked. "A bit, but then again. Who isn't nervous on their wedding day?" I said. "I was so nervous, when Will and I got married." Kate said. "Yet you looked so calm, during the ceremony." I said. "That's because, I calmed down when I saw Will." She said. "Just wearing the dress makes me nervous." I said. "You'll be fine," Kate said.

-The next day-

Kate got me up in the morning and took my to another room. "So what's first on our agenda?" I asked as I took my morning meds. "Breakfast," Kate said. We ate and then Kate's hair stylist, Marcus came in. "Wonderful to meet you Grace." He said kissing my cheeks. "It's nice to meet you." I said. He had me sit down. "Now your hair has a natural curl, and it's beautiful like that." He said. "So maybe pull it back a bit." He said as he pulled it back a bit. He pinned it in a few places. "That looks beautiful." He said handing me a mirror so I could see the back. "That looks great." I said. He sprayed it with hairspray. To make it stay. Kate's makeup artist came in and did a natural look.

Then came to time to actually put the dress on. It had straps, and a v-neck line, though my gauss was hidden. It has a fairly long train but it wasn't as long as Kate's. I'd wanted a short train, but not to short to where I couldn't get on a motorcycle. Harry and I were going to ride away on his motorcycle. Kate was doing the buttons on the back of the dress. "So many button." she said. I laughed. "It's so Harry can have a hard time getting it off of me." I said, Kate laughed. Kate did the last button. A knock came at the door. Kate's nanny came in with George, already dressed for the wedding. "Hey buddy." Kate said going over to take her son. She kissed his head. "He's already been fed and changed." The nanny said. "Thank you." Kate said. Handing George back. He wasn't going to be in the wedding. But he'd be their.

My phone has been ringing all morning. But I wasn't taking them. Marcus came back in and put my veil on. I put a bit of jewelry on. My mother's Diamond earrings, that she'd worn at her wedding. "You look beautiful," Kate said. "I can't believe this is actually happening." I said. "Be thankful you didn't have to wait as long as I did." Kate laughed. "Almost a decade in a courtship," I said. "You and Harry have only been at it for three years." She said. "I know, and today's finally here." I said. A knock came at the door. "Lady Grace, the car is here for you and Duchess Kate." A butler said. "Thank you," I said. "Ready?" Kate asked. "As I'll ever be." I said. "You'll do fine." She said.

We rode to the Abbey, the streets lined with thousands of people. The car stopped at the Abbey. I got out then Kate did. She straitened the train. And held the train. Granddad was their waiting. I took his arm and we went in. We were greeted by the Dean of Westminster. Kate had let go of the train and was walking with the junior bridesmaids and flower girls, who were being followed by the pageboys and ring bearer. We followed the Dean down the aisle. Harry and Will had their back to us. But I wished Harry was facing me. Will looked back at us, then whispered something to Harry.

Joy was building up inside me, I wanted to run down the aisle to Harry, but I couldn't. We got up to the altar. Harry smiled at me when he looked at me. I then noticed I'd been smiling the entire time. "You look beautiful," Harry whispered to me. "Thank you," I said.

We sat through the service, the we got up for the vows. Granddad stood to the right of me. "Dearly beloved we are gathered here to day, in the sight of God and in the sigh of this congregation. To join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony..." The priest said. "There for is any man show why these two shouldn't be we'd. Speak now or forever hold their peace." He continued. No one said anything. The bishop came before us. "Now if either of they know anything on why thy should my be wedded. Te should now confess thy." He said. Harry and I glanced at each other but didn't say any thing. "Henry Charles Albert David, wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife? will thou promise to love, care for, in Health and illness, to love thy in good times and bad? And be loyal to the and only the for as long as you both shall live?" "I will," Harry said. The priest asked me the same question. "I will," I said. "Who giveth this woman to be wedded?" Granddad took my left hand and gave it to the Bishop, who gave it to Harry. "I, Henry Charles Albert David." Harry said repeating the bishop. "Take thy, Grace Catharine, to be thy wedded wife." Harry said with a smile. "To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish,  till death do us part. According to God's holy law. And therefor I give thy my troth." Harry said. The bishop had me repeat what Harry had just said. Will gave the bishop the rings. The bishop blessed the rings, Harry took the wedding band. My heart started racing as Harry put the ring on. "with this ring I thy wed, with my body I honor, and with all my worldly goods I share. In the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost, amen." He said. The bishop has us pray then. I spaced out, till the bishop said. "I now pronounce you man and wife." He said. Harry and I stood up. I had the urge to Kiss Harry but I knew I couldn't.

We walked back down the aisle. Harry helped me into a carriage outside. "How do you feel?" Harry asked. "Ecstatic," I said. "So do I," Harry said, I laughed a bit.

We got to Buckingham palace and before we went to the balcony, Harry kissed me. "First kiss," Harry said. "How about a second?" I said putting my arms around his neck. "I could use a second." He said. Kissing me again. "Harry!" Prince Charles yelled. Harry and I pulled away. "Save it for tonight," he said. Harry started turning red. Which made me laugh. Kate and Will, joined us with George. The Queen and Prince Phillip also, along with Grandad.  The flower girls and page boys stood on the balcony, waving. The crowd chanting," kiss, Kiss, kiss." "A small kiss for the people?" Harry whispered. "Sure," I said. Harry turned my head and kissed me. I couldn't help but smiling. We pulled apart and kept waving. Though it was loud, George staged fast asleep.

We followed Her Majesty in. Harry and I went around to the guests and thanked them for coming. We got to the girls from the home. Angie hugged me. Then I hugged the girls. "We're all so happy your alright." Angie said. One of the girls who loved classic rock, motioned for me to let her tell me a secret. "You shook me all night long, AC/DC." She said. With a devious grin. I laughed and shook my head. Harry and I went along with the rest of the guests.

When Harry and I got a moment away from the guests I took my mid day meds, we took a photo of the family, and a few with the page boys and Junior bridesmaids.

At the end of the wedding day, Harry and I went down to the street, where his bike was. He got on, and I got on behind him. I held onto my dress so it wouldn't get caught or I flash the press. We put helmets on, Harry's black with 'Groom' written in white cursive, my was white, and 'Bride' written in black cursive. We rode out of the city and to the Queen's weekend home, Windsor castle. It was late and the sun has set.

Harry stopped the bike in the carport. He took his helmet off. "Grandmother and grandad's weekend escape, but tonight, it is our." Harry said as I took my helmet off. "No one's here except you and I." He said kissing me, " Lucky us." I said when he pulled away. I got off and Harry parked the bike in the garage. He wasn't kidding when he said we were the only ones here. The only staff here was security.

Harry and I went up the the master bedroom. I took my night meds, then took my veil, and jewelry off, and the pins in my hair. I left my wedding band  and engagement ring. Harry had taken his uniform off. "What was the best part of today?" I asked as he rapped his arms around me. "It's a tie between when I saw you at the altar and right now." He said. I turned around and faced him, rapping my arms around his neck. "I think you owe me something." He said. "Alright," I said. He kissed me, he picked me up bridal style and put me on the bed. He climbed on and we continued kissing. Harry was having to undo all the buttons. "Why are their so many buttons?" He asked. "It's for fashion," I said. Harry pulled on the back of the Dress causing the buttons to pop off. "Harry?" I said. "They can be sewn back on." He said as he kissed my neck. I slipped out of the dress and threw it on the floor. I worked on Harry's belt, as he kissed me. I got Harry's pants off and He rolled over so I was on the bottom. "I love you Harry." I said. "I love you two, Gracie." He said as he kissed me.
