King of Anything

Chapter 2: Wedding Surprises

        The day seemed to fly by after the morning passed. Elsa spent most of her time attending to preparations for the wedding. She wanted to do her best to make the day perfect for Anna, even if it killed her. She kept herself so engaged with the work that before she knew it, time had already come for the wedding to start.

        Elsa stood in a room with some of the servants who would be helping out with the wedding, making sure everyone was ready. “Thomas, you’ll be taking care of the food. Good. Marilyn, you’ll be playing the harp for background music. Very good. Grand Pabbie will be marrying the two… and I’ll be walking Anna down the aisle…”

        Elsa wasn’t really too fond of the idea of walking her sister down the aisle, but Anna was the one who requested it. It wasn’t as if Elsa had the heart to say no anyhow. Anna didn’t exactly have any other living family to walk her down the aisle.

        “And last but not least, is the flower girl ready? Della?"

        Elsa looked around, frowning when the flower girl was nowhere in sight. 

        “Where’s Della!?”  she questioned, frantically moving around to look for the little girl Anna had chosen to be the flower girl.

        After speaking with some of the servants she discovered that little Della had apparently come down sick and wouldn’t be able to play the role of flower girl anymore. Now what? Seeking answers, she quickly went to Kristoph in his changing room to ask for his opinion. His suggestion for the flower girl replacement made Elsa’s jaw drop.

        “Oh no, no, we are not, going to do that. No way. Anna wanted it to be little Della! Ugh! This just isn’t fair.” Elsa said, fumbling with her blonde braid anxiously until Kristoph grabbed her hands to make her stop.

        “Just calm down. It will be fine. I’m sure the crowd will get a big kick out of it. Especially Anna. You’ll see. You have ice powers. I’d have thought you’d known how to chill out by now,” he teased.

        Elsa relaxed her shoulders. “Chill out. Right. You’re right, Kristoph. I just need to chill out about this. No big deal, right? I’m sure you’re right. Everyone will laugh. It will be fine.”

        And laugh they did.

        When the wedding started, things went smoothly at first. The gentle melody of music filled the air. The crowd smiled and watched. Kristoph gazed lovingly at his beautiful bride wearing her gorgeous white gown as she made her way down the aisle with Elsa at her side. It all seemed like the perfect fairytale wedding until…

        “Hi everybody! Don’t mind me! I’m just throwing flowers! It’s my job. I’m the flower girl! Okay, I’m not really a girl, I’m a snowman. So maybe you guys should call me the flower snowman? That might fit better! Olaf the flower snowman!”

        Out came Olaf, sporting a daringly pink dress. He skipped along holding a straw basket and sprinkling out various multicolored flower petals as he made his way along. The entire audience busted out laughing as predicted. Anna even giggled herself, holding a hand over her mouth to hold herself back from laughing too much. The only person in the room who didn’t laugh was Elsa. (The only snowman in the room didn’t laugh either, but that was only because he was too busy trying to figure out why everyone was laughing so much.)

        She saw the laughter coming, but regardless Elsa didn’t like it. She liked for her parent’s kingdom to be taken seriously, and tossing out a goofy snowman in a pink dress as their flowergirl didn’t exactly fit a very serious and royal image. Elsa was slightly embarrassed. She even remained quiet through the rest of the wedding, not saying much until the ‘I do’s’ were complete and the reception party had started in the ballroom. And she would have stayed quiet during the reception too, if it weren’t for the persistent young gentleman who seemed to have an interest in dancing with the queen. One in particular really got on her nerves.
