The Lost Princess

Wedding Day*
Rose

I woke up to the bright sunlight on my face. I smile, today I was getting married. I rolled out of bed to see my morning team.

"Hello, Lady Rose. We are to get you bathed and to breakfast. Then, the wedding team will get you ready for today," Jonathan nodded.

I frowned, "Will anyone from the team be with me?"

Jonathan shook his head, "Other than me to supervise, no. But your sister, Ashlyn, and Amelia will be there, as your bridesmaids of course. Then, the flower girl, Peter's sister will also be there. Her name is Mia." I nodded, I met Mia a while ago, her mother was Peter's stepmother.

The morning team set up a bath with warm water, lemon juice, honey, and rose petals. They washed my hair with honey, warm water, and a mint leaf. They dry my hair and body and dress me in a simple blue dress with my hair in a bun. I walk down to breakfast and find that all the girls, plus Mia are sitting eating. Ashlyn looks at me and smiles, "Here comes the lovely bride!"

I blush and sit to start eating. Mia smiles and waves at me. I wave and start to eat my eggs and bread.

"Soo," Mia blushes, "Who's next to get married in the group?"

Lily pipes up, "Probably one of the twins. Amelia and William have been engaged for years, but Ashlyn and Peter have been getting steamy since they met. But the difference is, Amelia and William have kissed!"

"He kissed me on the cheek once.." Ashlyn whispers.

Lily laughs, "I meant on the lips!" We laugh and continue to eat breakfast.

Jonathan comes down, "The wedding team is here, and they need you all right away." We finish our votes and follow Jonathan to an empty room where ten individuals stood. Jonathan claps, "Bridesmaids, to hair and makeup then to wear you dresses. Same for the bride. Mia, the crew will do your hair after you dress."

We separate and I sit in a chair labeled Bride. The crew takes out my hair and brush it down, before giving me a trim. The others put makeup on my face. Soon, the hairdressers made my hair into a formal bun and makeup was flawless. They slip me into my dress and I gasp. I look beautiful.

The bridesmaids and flower girl come out with their hair brushed down. "Wow," Ashlyn gasped.

I laugh and the King Edward comes in, "Flower girls and bridesmaids, it's time." The girls walk out and it's left with me and the king. He smiles at me, "Wow, you look beautiful. Are you ready?" I nod, he links my arm, and we walk towards the venue.

Aaron

I stood at the altar, the whole kingdom at my feet. The bridesmaids come linked in arm with their groomsmen. Lily with John, Amelia with William, and Ashlyn with Peter. All had smiles on their faces as they lined up. Then the wedding march started and everyone stood up.

Then, she walked in. I gasp. She looked absolutely breathtaking with her dress and tiara with veil. Her cheeks were pink and she linked arms with Father. She made it to the altar and we held hands. We did they traditional Virgin Isles wedding ceremony. We exchanged vows and gave a quick peck to each other on the cheek.

"Do you Lady Rose take Prince Aaron as your husband?" the priest asks.

"I do," she responds.

"Do you Prince Aaron.." the priest asks.

"Yes, I do." I blurt. The crowd laughs at my outburst and Rose smiles.

The priest chuckles, "I now pronounce you Princess Rose and husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride!"

I look at Rose, who's cheeks are as pink as her name. I cup her head and lean in. And, we kiss. Sparks fly and the crowd erupts in cheers. We release and see our family smiling at us. The priest turns, "I now present the newly wed Prince and Princess Aaron of the Virgin Isles."

Rose and I walk halfway down the aisle, before I scoop her bridal style and run out the door. I put her down in the hallway and spontaneously kiss my bride.

"We're married! Finally," Rose exclaims before kissing me.

"Yes! I love you Rose," I smile.

She smiles back, "I love you, too."
