Good Morning Sunshine

It was Mid-Winter and Alanna and George were putting the final touches on their wedding plans. It had taken them all of one hour to plan. They had both agreed that it would be a small wedding and that it would take place in their home of Pirate's Swoop.

King Jonathan and Queen Thayet would be invited as well as Coram and Rispah. Alanna hadn't seen her old friend and his wife for some time. Their friends: Gary, Raoul, and Buri would all be invited. Her adopted father Myles and George's mother would most certainly be there. "You're sure this is what you want. Right?" George asked when they were all finished.

"I've never been so sure about something in my life, my love," Alanna said; and meant it. George pulled her into a massive hug and then kissed her thoroughly, his eyes sparkling with relief.

"That, Sweet, is the correct answer," George said and kissed her again.

"What are we wearing for our own wedding?" Alanna asked abruptly.

"If you showed up there with nothing on at all, I would marry you anyway," George said loyally. Allana laughed and punched him in the arm with a soft fist.

"I bet you'd like it if I showed up with nothing on," she said jokingly.

"Well, now that you mention it…" George picked her up and tossed her gently on their bed.

The two lovers emerged from their room hours later to eat. "Fun as that was, you didn't answer my question," said Alanna with a grin.
