The Son of Time

Chapter 60

A/N wouldn't the song in the media make the best wedding song?, anyway on to the chapter.

Percy's point of view

In the days following that day Amber started her training, and we spent as much time together as we could. About a week after Amber was made a goddess the subject of wedding plans came up. Neither of us really wanted a big wedding, but due to the fact that I'm king of the gods, and she would become queen of the gods by marrying me, I'm not sure if we had much choice in the matter but to go with a bigger one, since I was so respected basically everyone would want to be a part of it.

I knew who I wanted my groomsmen and best man to be, but it wasn't so easy for Amber. All her friends and family were mortals except for Luke, so everyone else she knew were still clueless to the fact that the Greek gods exist. Her father had died when she was in high school, and after that her mother had fallen into a depression. Now they don't really get along, and rarely talk. After the meeting where we made her a goddess I asked Amber what the fates had said to her. When she told me I sighed.

She said that they had told her she would be needed once the next prophecy started. So if the vote had gone against me, they would have interfered and told us that she had to become a goddess. I wasn't exactly pleased by that news, but there wasn't anything I could do about it. In another week we would reveal her to the camps, and then a couple days later would be the wedding.

I told Luke about it before Amber was revealed to everyone else, obviously he deserved to know first since she is his mother. When I told him he seemed to be happy for us, after all he had said that he wanted us to get back together. The day that we revealed her to the camps they were rather shocked, but that wasn't exactly surprising.

Like I had been she was a bit uncomfortable with all the attention she was getting now, but she would get used to it eventually. I had gotten used to it for the most part, I'd had no choice but to get used to it. When the day of the wedding finally came I don't think I'd ever been so nervous. I'd fought primordials, giants, and titans, but somehow I had never been as nervous then as I was when I stood waiting for Amber to come walking down the aisle toward me.

This was the moment that I thought I might never get to experience. My mom and Hera had helped with the planning and decorations, so the color scheme wasn't completely crazy. Grover was my best man, and Tyson, Jason, Frank, and Leo were my groomsmen. When I saw Amber walking toward me, it was hard not to stare at her. Although I had always thought she was beautiful, she certainly was that day. One of my favourite things about her was her natural beauty, she was beautiful without even trying. Anytime I told her that, she would take the compliment, but I'm pretty sure she never really believed it. That day it seemed wasn't really much different. She didn't have a lot of makeup on, but what she did have only enhanced her most beautiful features, such as her blue eyes.

Her blond hair was in a half up half down style, and her dress was a traditional white dress, but it was strapless, and had lace, and other details, such as a few rhinestones on it. I had to force myself not to stare at her. When she reached me Hera carried out the ceremony, the rings were just plain gold bands, with together forever engraved in them.

We said our vows, and then Hera said, "You may now kiss the bride."

I kissed amber passionately, but I pulled away before the kiss would seem too long.

After the wedding came the reception, the food was basically whatever a person wanted, with the exception of seafood. Amber and I danced, and I tried my hardest not to step on her toes, especially since she was wearing sandals. The wedding continued, people talked and danced, but I barely paid attention to what everyone else was doing, the only thing on my mind was that I finally had Amber by my side.
