Disastrous Fate-Sweenett.

Chapter 8

The next day, the two went to the market to buy some things for their wedding. Sweeney didn't like it but he figured out he needed to.

Nellie went to a shop that sales wedding dresses. While Sweeney, he went to a shop that sales men's finest suits.

She picks up a pretty white one. She goes to a dressing room and fixes herself in it.

When she was working on her collars, she noticed her engagement ring. She always adored it. It wasn't just a plain silver ring. Under it was written " Yours forever, Sweeney " and it's got four ruby diamonds.
She always thought that it must be very expensive. But it was pretty sweet for him to spend his money on her engagement ring.

She continued on her gown when a girl entered the room. She gasped in awe when she saw Nellie.

" Nellie, you look absolutely beautiful! " the girl said with a bright smile. Nellie turned when she finished her sentence and smiled back.

Josephine ( the girl ) was one of Nellie's closest friends. She was around her 20's. She had a dark brown hair, almost black but not so long. Her eyes, same color as her hair.

" Thank you, Josephine. " she said and turned to her reflection.

" Who's the husband-to-be? " Josephine said as she walked towards Eleanor. " Sweeney Todd. " she said proudly when she looked at her.

" Ah, yes. The barber who lives up ya shop? " Josephine asked. " Yep, that's him. " Nellie said when she smiled at herself in the mirror. " You're very lucky, Nellie. "

...

When Nellie was done paying for the dress, she went out of the shop and stopped by a shop that sales baby supplies. A cute blue baby dress caught her eye. She runs her fingers on it.

Sweeney was behind her the whole time. Nellie didn't even notice him. She took in her hands and smiled to it.

" Pet? " Sweeney interrupted her thoughts. Nellie jumped and glanced at him for a second. When she noticed it was him, she immediately puts the dress back and pretends as if she was looking for something else.

" What? " she asked a bit shyly. " Time to go. " he said with a frown. Nellie turned around and went with her partner to the shop.

Nellie was staring at herself in the mirror, wearing her wedding dress. Her hair was tied in a clean bun, leaving a few curls below her head.

Her heels weren't that high but enough for her to walk properly. She didn't wear much make-up but she still looked beautiful.

She sighed heavily and closed her eyes. When she was ready, she took the bouquet of flowers and left the room.

When she entered the church, she found Sweeney looking at her in almost with a smile.

Seeing this, Nellie took a large sigh and smiled happily. The only ones around the church were a few of Sweeney and Nellie's friends, the bride, the groom and the minister.

She walked the aisle happily and a part of her was worried. Maybe because she was marrying a man who didn't love her.

When she reached Sweeney, he took her hand and Nellie stood next to him. Sweeney looked pretty charming wearing his suit.

When the minister asked Nellie to take Sweeney as her husband, Nellie said " I do." in the most happiest way and

Sweeney just nodded slightly and fastly when it was his turn to answer. When it was time to kiss the bride, Sweeney placed a small peck on her lips.

When the ceremony was over, the two went back to the shop in a carriage. Both of them packed their bags to go to where Sweeney planned them to go.

He said it was gonna be a wedding gift for her. A surprise, if that's what we call it. So, he didn't tell her where the trip was.

Sweeney decided to stay in the place for one more night. Nellie simply agreed. So, they stayed there for the night.

When the two finished packing, they said their goodbyes to the place. Sweeney left Lucy and little Johanna's picture on the desk to help leave the past behind.

When they were done saying farewell, they placed their things at the back of the carriage before they hopped in.

Two hours passed and they still didn't reach their destination. Nellie's patience was growing thin.

" Sweeney, darling, how soon will we arrive to the place? " Nellie asked frustratedly.

" Wait a little longer, pet. " Sweeney said, not looking at her but staring a the window. Nellie sighed tiredly and placed her head on her palm.

A few minutes passed and they finally arrived. The driver emptied the bunk whichever was full of bags a minute ago.

Sweeney was the first to get out. Before Nellie could exit the carriage, Sweeney placed a blindfold on her eyes so she cannot see.

" Mr. T! What ya doing?! "she asked, almost yelling. She tried to take it off her face but Sweeney stopped her.

" Keep the blindfold on. It's a surprise. " he whispered to her ear. He was so close that she could feel his warm breath on her ear.

Sweeney guided her by holding her arms and walking them slowly. When they finally got there,wherever they were, Nellie almost stumbled but Sweeney prevented her from falling.

They both laughed at this. Sweeney untied the blindfold and said, " Surprise. "

Nellie opened her eyes and saw a house not that big but enough for them. It was colored blue and white. It took her a moment to realize that she felt something warm and soft beneath her feet.

She looked down and it was white sand. She turned to her back and saw waves crashing down the shore. She was in a beach.

" This is beautiful, Mr. T. " she said happily and turned to her husband then at the house.

" This for the honeymoon? " she asked and looked at Sweeney again. " No." he said when he took something from his pocket and showed it to Nellie.

There were three keys that he was holding. " Oh Sweeney. " she said in a whisper when she took the keys from his hand and hugged him tightly.

Sweeney hugged back awkwardly. Nellie placed a kiss on his cheek.

" Thank you. " she said with a warm smile.
