Married Life

Chapter 2: By the power vested in me

     "Branch, she's almost here. Wrap up the show." Whispered his best man, Cooper.

     When Branch asked Cooper to be the best man at his wedding, he wouldn't stop talking about it for days. For his Batchelor party, he actually threw a pretty good trip. They guys had taken Branch camping and even though it wasn't their definition of a party, he had felt it was nice to get one last trip in before him and his new wife went on together doing who knows what.

     The teal troll wiped his tears on a handkerchief, but some still continued to fall as she stood next to him. Her father couldn't help but shed a tear as well as he took his daughter's hand, and placed it onto his future son-in-law's. His little girl was growing up and taking on a new life. What father wouldn't cry just a little?

     Poppy smiled at her husband-to-be as she placed her hand on his cheek and wiped a few of his last tears. Her bridesmaids, Satin, Chenille, Suki, even Guy Diamond looked at her and whispered to each other,

     "She's beautiful.."

     "She really is.."

     "I did such a good job making that dress.."

Poppy's dress covered her feet, which was a rare sight, and very sparkly along with her veil and crown. Surprisingly enough, it was less extravagant as he thought it would look. But it didn't matter. She looked gorgeous. Her Bouquet of roses even sparkled a little too.

The ceremony was excessively long, and Poppy was becoming slightly impatient.

"It's almost over." The teal troll whispered.

"Thank troll. Not that I'm not enjoying this but it's so looong. I just wanna be married already." She quietly whined as the priest continued to talk.

"May I have the rings please?"

Each of them took their rings and placed it on the opposite person's finger. The pink troll's smile glistened as she knew what part was coming next.

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may kiss the-" The priest spoke as he was cut off by Poppy's many, many kisses, ending them with a sweet romantic one between the two of them. There were tears, whistles, screams, confetti, and many more as all the trolls celebrated the marriage between their queen, and their king-to-be.

The reception was what the villagers would like to call the "biggest, craziest, wedding wrap up ever!" There was dancing, glitter, fireworks, anything you could imaging a a typical troll party, times two.

But it wasn't that level of crazy when the newly weds came out together for their first dance. The music was soft as they walked hand in hand to the dance floor. Poppy placed her hands behind his neck, her arms resting on his shoulders, while Branch placed his hands on her hips. She couldn't help but giggle as he stared down as his feet, watching every step he took. She took her hand, placed it on his chin and made him look up.

     "You're not gonna step on my feet."

     "I might if I don't look down."

     "No you won't." Her husband looked at her soft eyes as she looked into his. True beauty.

     The song slowly came to and end and as the last note hit, the two came together for one of their many kisses to be seen that night. Trolls aw'd and sighed.

     "Aren't they so cute together?" Satin spoke softly to her sister.

     "I can't believe they're married already. It feels just like yesterday he came into the party and started nagging us about the Bergen's." Replied Chenille.

     Branch looked at his wife shortly after their kiss.

     "You're so pretty."

     "You're such a cornball my handsome man."

     "Oh, look who's being corny now?"
