Crystal Gem Temple-Day Of The Wedding
It was early morning, and Steven was peacefully sleeping in his bed. Just then, Amethyst slowly opened the door and peaked into the room, quietly giggling. Amethyst then tip-toed over to Steven's bed.
Amethyst then shapeshifted into a trumpet, loudly waking Steven up. Steven then jumped out of bed, saluting.
"Alright, Private!" said Amethyst, shapeshifting back to her original form, "You got a big day today! Now drop and give me twenty!"
"Wait, I'm not in the Army. Oh, I'm not dreaming anymore…" said Steven.
"Alright champ, today's the big day, you gotta get ready and head for the church for the wedding." said Amethyst.
Amethyst then walked out of the room, laughing hysterically at her wake-up call. Steven then got out of bed, still wearing his pajamas. Steven then sat in the kitchen, where Pearl was making breakfast.
"Hello Steven," said Pearl, cooking breakfast, "today's the big day."
"Yes, I can't wait. Today's gonna be the best day of my life."
After breakfast, Steven then changed to his wedding tuxedo. After changing, Steven stepped out of his room to find the Gems and Greg, smiling.
"Steven, we're so proud of you." said Greg.
"Thank you." said Steven.
"We should get to the church now for preparations." said Greg.
Steven, Greg and the Gems all got in Greg's van. Greg then started the van, and drove to the church.
Evergreen Valley Church, Delaware-10 Minutes Later
Because Beach City is such a small town, Beach City itself does not have a church, the closest being in the neighboring town of Evergreen Valley.
Greg's van stopped in the parking lot, with most of the guests already there.
Greg, the Gems and Steven then stepped out of the car. Walking toward the church entrance, the gang was soon stopped by family members.
This was Greg's family back in Empire State. Although Steven did not know most of them, he was happy to see that they came.
"Well, if it isn't my nephew Steven! My, how you've grown since I last saw you." said a tall man with brown hair with some grey and a black suit.
"Hey Uncle Charlie." said Steven. Steven had only met his aunt and uncle once, when he was 8.
"I haven't seen you in so long." said Charlie, "It's just, working for a wealthy international company as Vice President, I have to go on a lot of business trips."
"I know what you mean." said Steven.
"Charlie was right, you have grown, you're just about as tall as him." said Steven's aunt, Edna.
"Thanks." said Steven.
"And you must be Steven's magical caretakers." said Charlie, shaking each Gems' hand one by one.
"Yes." said Garnet.
Steven, Greg, the Gems, and the rest of the family, then went into the church to introduce more of the family to Steven.
Steven then noticed Connie's parents talking to some other people. Steven quickly guessed that these other people were Connie's relatives.
"Hey Mr. and Mrs. Maheswaran." said Steven.
"Oh, hello Steven." said Doug Maheswaran.
"Where's Connie?" said Steven.
"She'll be here soon, wedding tradition dictates that the groom is not allowed to see the bride prior to the ceremony." said Doug.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." said Steven.
"Let me introduce you to some of Connie's relatives." said Doug, "Only some of Connie's relatives could attend, as most of the family still lives in India."
"This is my father, Abhay Maheswaran." said Doug.
Mr. Maheswaran then pointed to a man with grey hair, looking to be in his early 80's, walking with a cane.
"Hello." said Abhay Maheswaran.
"Hello." said Steven, shaking Abhay's hand.
"And this is my mother, Karishma." said Doug, who this time pointed to a lady looking to be in her late 70's.
"Hello Karishma." said Steven, shaking her hand.
Steven was then introduced to more of Connie's relatives.
It was still around 10:00 AM, the start of the wedding ceremony wouldn't be until 3:00 PM. Until then, Steven started helping out getting everything ready for the wedding, eager for the ceremony.
