~Violet's POV

I'm getting married today.

I almost can't believe that I'm doing this. I'm 20 years old and I'm getting married.

So why do I feel sick to my stomach? The answer is easy if you know my history. Marriage has been a touchy subject for me personally for a while now. I'm sure I was over it, after all I did say yes to my boyfriend's proposal, but something inside me was unsettled.

When I was 14, I had a very unfortunate event with marriage. A very evil man named Count Olaf tried to marry me to get the rights to my inheritance. It wasn't legally binding because I didn't sign the document in my own hand, but it was a terrifying experience. The thought of being that bastard's wife... it haunted me to my core. No. Stop. He's dead. He's been dead for years and you're over it now. He can't hurt you or anyone you care about ever again.

I smoothed out my lovely white dress and stared at my reflection in the full body mirror by the wall. I looked perfect. Isadora and Fiona had been fussing over my appearance for hours. I swear my hair was redone at least seven times just to get it perfect. My dress was long and I had to pick it up to walk but it was still the most perfect wedding dress I could ever ask for. I picked it out myself of course! I reached over and grabbed my bouquet of flowers. Duncan had jokingly suggested that I use violets for my bouquet, but I chose roses instead. It wasn't much better because my middle name is Roselyn. I chuckled quietly at that. My mother really loved flowers apparently.

Mother and father...

They would be so proud to see me right now. I'm not a particularly religious person, but wherever you go when you die I hope they're watching over me from there right now. Father would have been crying to see his little girl get married today. Mother would have fussed over every little detail to ensure that everything was perfect. Mother was always a perfectionist, and father was the emotional one. And I'm sure that Quinten and Karen were watching this day with them right now too. After all I am marrying their son Duncan.

The nervous feeling in my stomach went away. Duncan Quagmire. My charming, handsome, journalist was the one I was marrying today. I never thought I'd meet the love of my life at such a horrible place like Prufrock Preparatory School, but I did. And we're getting married today.

There was a knock on the door and I saw Klaus and Sunny join me in the room. Isadora was my maid of honor and Fiona was a bridesmaid, and the ceremony was of course being performed by our friend Justice Strauss. Judy was so happy when I introduced Duncan as my fiancé. She was thrilled to see I had found the perfect man for me. The others were all outside waiting already. Klaus was the best man, and he's giving me away, and Quigley was a groomsman. Sunny was our flower girl, she also made our entire wedding feast, and she looked utterly adorable in her little white dress. I smiled at my two younger siblings.

"How do I look?"

Klaus was blinking back a few tears behind his glasses, "You look amazing, Violet."

"Duncan's going to faint," Sunny said with a big toothy grin.

"Is everyone ready?"

Klaus nodded and offered me his arm, "Are you ready?"

I linked arms with him and replied, "Yes I am."

"Then let's go, you two! Your man is waiting for you," Sunny was practically jumping up and down with excitement. According to her, she had been waiting for this day since the moment Duncan and I laid eyes on each other. She called us her OTP... whatever that means.
