I usually have a very low attention span, because of my ADHD, but I was fully focused today.Annabeth an I have been engaged for about a month now. We are trying to take things slow because we are quite young to be getting married and Athena still wasn't my biggest fan!
"Ok." Annabeth said. "I have a few ideas."
That's when Annabeth pulled out, not one, not two, but three huge ass folders! I had never seen things so big.
"Did you get these from a cyclops?" I said sarcastically
"Your half brothers were very happy to help out. For the first time they didn't try to eat me!" She said rolling her eyes.
She picked out some of the key photos to show me."Ummm.... That's great baby." I said trying not to hurt her feelings because that is not how I was imagining it to look like.
"You hate it, don't you?"
"No, it's just I... I thought that we were going to do all of it together, and I just want a tad more blue."
"Ok what were you thinking."
I pulled up an image on my phone. "A bit like this.""PERCY!" Her scream was louder than thunder. "I am not going to our wedding looking like a barnacle."
"Ok I can..."
"And there is no way that our wedding topper is going to be me falling into Tartarus!"
"I will..."
"And you are not going to wear that suit. It will look like a slimy seal just wobbled up the beach and sat on you."
"OK. I get it you hate my ideas. We can't always agree on things but that last one was just rude. Did you ever take into account that maybe I don't want to wear a traditional white toga?These were just suggestions nothing permanent. We will decide together. You want the traditional Greek wedding and I want a blue sea themed wedding. That's fine. All we have to do is combine our favourite ideas and plan it off that."
"I'm sorry. I've just been looking forward to this my whole life and I've just engrained this idea into my head of what it will look like. I should of taken your ideas into account as well. Let's try this again!" She looked like she was on the verge of tears, which is not like Annabeth at all.
"It's ok. I'm not angry or annoyed." I don't know what I did but she just started balling her eyes out.
"I'm scared Percy. What if things don't work out? What if we break up before we even get married?"
"Why would you think we would break up?" I said trying not to sound angry or sad.
"We are so different. There's no way that this would work out. If you work out the statistics..."
"Do you love me."
"Yes."
"Then what's the problem?"
"I don't know."
"Good. Love isn't like a maths problem. There isn't just one way to do it and there isn't just one answer."
"Maths doesn't always just have one way and one solution."
"You get what I mean."
"You're such a seaweed brain!"
"Ok wise girl."
She kissed my cheek and we got back to work. Here are some of our final ideas.
