Chapter 1
I slowly slipped on my beach style white dress. Today was my wedding day, and I was going to marry Seaweed Brain. In a few moments he would be all mine. Rachel would have no chance after this, unless she was jerk enough to go after a married man. I don't hate Rachel; I just get a little jealous at times. Piper was touching up my hair and makeup and Hazel was doing up the buttons. Then they got into their coral coloured bridesmaid dresses. The wedding was to take place at the camp beach in the evening so it wouldn't be overly hot. I took a deep breath and put my hand on the door of the Athena cabin. The guys were already at the beach and the wedding was due to start in 5 minutes. As Chiron walked me down the aisle, everything was in slow motion. Percy looked so handsome in his tuxedo. "Stunning, absolutely stunning Wise Girl" he whispered as we joined hands.
"You look pretty dashing yourself."
"Dashing? How much time have you spent with Hazel?" then he gave me his perfect smile. Oh goodness, I love him. The pastor talked for a while longer, and then we said our vows. "…To always be my Wise Girl." Percy winked as he finished his. It was my turn now.
"I will hold your hand and save the world with you by my side…To love and cherish…To always be my Seaweed Brain"
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride." Percy then picked me up and spun me in the air giving me the sweetest kiss. "Mr. and Mrs. Jackson!" the pastor announced and we walked down the center of the two rows of chairs. His arm was around my waist strongly. I am so lucky. We stopped by our new lakeside cabin to drop Percy's jacket off then met everyone at the dining hall for a celebration. The table clothes were bordered with lace and for centerpieces we had shells Percy and I collected last night on our walk. Rachel had made and decorated our wedding cake to look just like the ocean. Everybody was laughing and talking with their tables during supper while I sat at the honor table with my husband, Piper, Hazel, Leo, Jason, and Frank. The rest of the night was a blur of music and dancing. At one point, I thought I saw Jason lead Piper away on a walk. "Are you ready?" Percy asked as he entwined his fingers into mine.
"Yeah, I just need to get one more bag from the Athena cabin and then we will go." For our honeymoon, we stocked up the cabin with food and drinks to last a week. We would be spending the week there, with no interruptions, just us.
"I can't wait to have you all to myself" He whispered then kissed me. We walked silently to my cabin to get my bag. When we made it to our new cabin, Percy opened the door and put my bag inside. Then he picked me up and carried me in. I went to the kitchen to make us some tea to drink while we snuggled by the fireplace. "What are you thinking right now?"
"I'm thinking about our new life together, and I admit, I am silently rubbing this moment in Rachel's freckled face."
"She isn't that bad you know…"
"How about we stop talking about her right now. This is our honeymoon after all."
"You brought her up…"
"You started the conversation!"
"I'm sorry Baby. What can I do to make it up to you?"
"I have an idea or two…" I give him a sly grin. He pushes my hair out of my face and gives me a kiss on my cheek. I look into his captivating eyes and he smiles back at me. I think I am going to enjoy being married to him.
