Rey

I stepped into the flowing white dress, and the tiny women doing my hair and makeup zipped it up. The train was huge, and I felt very weighed down, but when I looked in the mirror, it all became worth it, because I was amazed.

My hair was done up, with a few soft ringlets hanging around my face. my makeup was soft and light, except my eyes, which have glitter on my eyelids, and shiny black wings coming off them. my lipstick is a soft pink, and I'm blushing slightly.

"Wow

"Wow." I say as I stand there in awe. Leia comes up behind me and puts her hand on my arm. "You look great, but we should go now." I nod, and we slowly exit the room. I thank each of the women who helped me dress as I pass, taking each ones hand and looking them in the eyes. I want them to know how much this means to me. As we enter the courtyard, a elegant black ship opens it hangar doors, and I see that on the ship are Finn, his friend Rose, and two force ghosts. When I look closer, I recognize one that had long curly brown hair with flowers in it to be Padme, but as I look upon the face of the other woman, I am surprised to find that she looks almost exactly like me.
"M-mom." I stutter, and I can feel myself start to tear up. "Oh my goodness don't cry!" Everyone on she ship says, rushing to calm me down before I ruin my makeup.
"Yes my lovely girl, it's me. Your brother and dad are here too. I can't believe my baby girl is getting married." The woman says in a small voice, and she has a teary smile as she looks at me. "Wh-what happened to you guys? I want to know everything!" I ask, stepping close to the two ghosts. "My dear girl, all will be explained in the future, but today we are not here to talk about such trivial things such as our pasts. We are here to talk about your future! Your future with my grandson! Has he been treating you properly?" Padme says with a teasing grin, and I smile. This really is a happy day.

"Man. We have had some adventures!" I say to the circle of men around me.
"I'll drink to that!" Poe says, and we laugh. I'm standing in my tuxedo in the parlor, having one last drink as a bachelor, before I become a married man. I fall back heavily into one of the parlor chairs and sigh. My nerves are getting to me.
"Man. Don't worry. Today is the happiest day of your life! At least try to act happy?" Poe says, patting my back.
"Your right. I need to forget about my worries and just think of Rey." I say, and then I smile.
Rey. The most beautiful, wonderful woman in the world. I can't believe that my princess is about to become my queen. Maybe someday we will have a actual prince or princess, a heir to the resistance.
I chuckle and then stand, checking my watch. I gasp.
It's time.
