This is my first attempt at fanfiction.I have loved the SOM since I first saw the movie at the age of ten. I have read the fanfiction that is written here and find it to be great. I thought I would try my hand at it.
I hope you find my attempt interesting.
This is fiction and in no attempt does this mean to be a rewrite of the movie.
This story takes place just after the wedding and it tells what happens during the reception and during the honeymoon.
As the bishop announced them man and wife Georg lifts the veil over Marias head and gently kisses her. After the kiss they both smile at each other and turn to walk down the aisle arm in arm with the children following behind them.
As they step out of the church Georg turns to Maria and asks " How does it feel to be Baronness Von Trapp."
" I can't believe I am your wife, I love you so and this is truly the happiest day of my life" gleamed Maria.
As they walked down the steps of the church a open carriage was waiting to take them to the reception at the house. The children would follow in Georgs car. As they pull away Mother Superior,Sister Margaretta and all the nuns wave goodbye. Through teary eyes Maria waves back.
As they pull up to the house the children are allready there to greet them. Georg helps Maria out of the carriage. Before she can get to the front door the children run into her arms. She bends down to give them hugs and kisses. Gretl asks her" Fraulein Maria now that you and father are married can we call you Mother?"
Maria looks at Georg smiles and says to Gretl" That would make me so happy I would be honored if you would call me that"
"Allright children it is time your Mother and I go into the house to greet our guests" Says Goerg as he takes marias arm in his and they walk into the house.
Inside the house Georg,Maria and the children stand in the reception line to greet their guests.As they greet the last one Franz enters the room" Excuse me Captain the orchestra wants to know what you would like as first selection of the evening"
Georg takes Marias arm and escorts her to the ballroom. He walks over to the conductor and whispers in his ear . Georg walks over to Maria he nods to the conductor as the familiar tune of the laendler fills the ballroom. Georg bows to Maria as she curtsies to him."I thought it was about time we finish this dance and this time we will not get interrupted" he says as he takes Marias hand in his.
