Be My Princess (Fanfiction): A Forgotten Memory

Chapter 34 - The Wedding Part 2

Walking up the stairs of Nobel Michel's Castle felt endless somehow.

Leighton had already made his way inside. Glenn's father and I patiently waited just outside the entrance, waiting for Zain's cue.

The King gently tightened his hand over mine, the one that was in the crook of his left arm.

"You'll be fine." He murmured, which only meant he felt me trembling.

I nodded. "I know, I'm just nervous."

He laughed. "Take a deep breath in and then out. Keep doing that and you'll calm down."

"Thanks," I muttered as I did as he had said.

Just when I had gotten my nerves under control, Zain came out with my bouquet of flowers.

"Ready?" He asked me, giving me an assuring smile.

I nodded. "Ready," I breathed, trying to calm my nerves again.

The "Wedding March" began to play as soon as we entered the Castle.

Everyone, that was invited to our wedding (which looked like a lot), all stood up in unison and stared at me.

Look straight ahead, I thought as I frantically found Glenn's face at the front. Just keep looking straight and you'll be fine.

Walking down the aisle felt like walking up the stairs, it felt endless, but it felt just a tad shorter and that was probably because my eyes were locked with Glenn's.

Finally, the King and I reached Glenn and the Wedding Officiant.

Glenn's father gave me away to his son, which was quite ironic if I might add.

A silent sigh escaped my lips when I felt my hand in Glenn's.

He smirked as we stood face to face.

I couldn't help but smile back.

"We are gathered here today..." The Wedding Officiant began, which was cue for the photographers to take our pictures.

In the end, I muted the Wedding Officiant out until it was time to say our vows, which were the traditional vows.

The Casiraghi's do uphold tradition, especially when it came for weddings.

Alan, our adorable ring bearer, stood next to Glenn to give him my wedding ring.

Glenn repeated the Wedding Officiant with a loud, clear voice.

"I, Glenn Casiraghi, take you, Linda Long, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part."

Gently, he put my wedding ring just above my engagement ring.

Alan stood by my side then so that I could take Glenn's wedding ring.

Surprisingly, my voice didn't tremble as I repeated the Wedding Officiant.

"I, Linda Long, take you, Glenn Casiraghi, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part."

Very gently, I put his wedding ring on his left ring finger.

"Now, by the power vested in me by Lord Nobel Michel, I hereby pronounce you husband and wife," The Wedding Officiant looked at Glenn. "You may now kiss the bride."
