Wedding Day Is Here

Annetta came yesterday before coming down to Wintermere and she got a dress in space so that saved her time from getting one when she got down here. The night was rather fun since Annetta and Vanessa made sure there was some girl time and we had a makeover night with movies and popcorn. Gabriella wanted no part of it and just sulked until we all feel asleep. The next morning Grandma gets me up and I see things on the table meant for me to sign soon after the wedding one of which is changing my last name. July 28th is going to be our wedding anniversary from here on out and all of our immediate family has come including grandparents and my Godparents but that is it who is here other than dates here and there that our siblings brought and Clarice as a witness. Narcissa and Daisy are up as well but it appears they are getting my dress and things ready even if the wedding isn’t until 5 in the afternoon then going for dinner at Polly’s Restaurant and Hotel which is a large family restaurant and hotel in town and it has been booked.

“Can’t I sleep in?” I ask. “I thought the wedding wasn’t until the afternoon.”

“Not really, you have some things to do before getting married not that most of it isn’t done and won’t take that long nor will this. It just needs done because of the tribe for the female the males are done last night. We will head down to the actual area of the reservation and the elders will pray and bless you. It won’t take more than an hour.”

“Ok, I’ll get dressed.”

Anthony stayed in the hotel which tonight I’ll joining him before going on the vacation which technically is our honeymoon now for the weekend. After getting in shorts and a tank top along with putting my hair in a ponytail and putting flip flops on I am ready to go. Getting to a large area surrounded by pueblos there are the rest of the 7 elders one of them being Anthony’s grandfather and husband to the cutoff grandmother. One of the females comes up to me.

“Are you a virgin?” she asks.

“Yes,” I reply. “Why are you…?”

“Hannah, she’s 11 and forced into this marriage by the government because of her parent’s death. There is no way in hell she would not be a virgin still unless she has be raped considering I know they have an agreement to wait until they are married to have sex. Also I told you not to ask that before the blessing since it has nothing to do with the blessing unless they are pregnant where we bless the child and the mother. I know you want a pure marriage for everyone but nowadays that’s give and take.”

“Sorry Shima, this is your granddaughter?”

“One of them she is Susanna, remember, Hannah? I have several granddaughters since I had 3 children all of which had children of their own.”

“Right, where are the others?”

“Still sleeping, since the wedding isn’t until 5 and it is just family members most grandparents, parents, siblings, and Aunts and Uncles that they keep in touch with including if they have any children.”

“Do you have lots to do for this?”

“Everything is set up but I am officiating this wedding as well so I can’t stay long.”

“Right,” states Tony’s grandfather. “And Pamela and I will be joining it as well so I understand the time crunch since we two want to get ready for the day.”

At that I am sitting inside a circle with them forming the circle around me and have a few things one of them being the staff that Shima uses and is her wand. There is pastel pink and blue sheets and strings that I see and the most obvious along with a bow and arrows which I only heard given to select few mostly of very strong members of the tribe and usually notes a very strong marriage. They start to chant what I know of it, it is translated into this:
