After being made the 'prize' in a twisted Suitors Dance, Sapphire, a young mermaid rebels against the Ancient Rules and could end up marrying someone she barely knows. Will Finn prove to be all that she was looking for, despite the recurring visio...
The wedding was amazing I have to say. Cami was there to help with the flower and sea coral bouquets. Everything was perfect. The people in the castle helped with the lights. Multicolored jellyfish were brought in and they illuminated the walls and floor as they drifted around. A glistening sweet and sour banquet was in the middle of the room. It was adorned with edible shells and seaweed.
Many people had come to see the wedding. Mermaids, water fairies and nymphs swam around with silky garments swirling elegantly around them. I was in a soft green and shiny seaweed dress, with white coral and shells adorning the sleeves and the deep V neck. I almost could not wait to be Queen, because even though Finn was supposed to be the most powerful, he would pass any law I told him to, and wave off the ones I wanted him to. We had agreed, nothing got past us unless we both agreed, otherwise we wouldn't work out. I floated up to the podium, right when the sea fish chorus started to sing in a beautiful symphony. Everyone settled into their seats, made of blue and pink coral and sea vegetable fiber. I wondered how long they had to train the fish to make them chirp in the same tune.
Finn swam around the corner, followed by my dad and my smaller cousin, who was spreading small soft shards of pink seaweed around the floor and sometimes onto the guests, startling them. I could see she was going to grow to be a rule bender for sure and smiled at the thought.
I stood silently as Finn came right up to me and grabbed my hand, leading me to face my dad's best friend, who was leading the ceremony.
I spaced out slightly as my dad's friend talked about commitment, I snapped back to attention when Finn said
"I do."
I stared blankly at him as he stared right back at me.
Oh right! I thought to myself. I'm supposed to say something!.
I realized a new portion of my life was beginning, and I was ready to face it.
I sucked in a breath and let it out, my heart pounded in happy feelings and nervousness.
I whispered facing him, my dad and my friends and family.
"I do."
