Elizabeth sat in her room with three different maids pulling and tugging at her hair, she winced every time.
"Begging your pardon Miss Swan." One maid apologized.
Elizabeth was in too much pain to respond, so she just smiled. A gentle knock on the door interrupted the hair pulling.
"Come in." Elizabeth choked out as she rubbed her scalp.
Governor Swan strolled into the room smiling, "Elizabeth."
"Hello father." She greeted him through the mirror.
"Elizabeth you look just like your mother." Governor Swan said tears welling up in his eyes.
"Thank you father." She said walking up to him and kissing him on the cheek.
"Are you ready?" Governor Swan asked holding out his arm.
Elizabeth sighed, "Yes, I am."

The carriage ride to the fort was unbearable. With all her pre-wedding jitters Elizabeth couldn't stop playing with her dress.
Her father's warm hand was over hers in an instant, "Elizabeth, you'll be fine."
She forced a smile, and continued to stare out the window. She could see the Black Pearl anchored in at port. She was surprised that her father and the Commodore Norrington agreed to letting the crew, including Jack, attend the wedding.
Jack…how many times had his name and face popped up in her head. She squeezed her eyes shut forcing her thoughts of Jack to go away. She loved Will, this she had no doubt about. But whenever the thought of Jack appeared in her mind, her heart tugged a little. She wasn't exactly sure if it was for Jack himself, but for what he stood for.
Freedom.
The carriage jolted to a stop causing Elizabeth to grip the side for supports. All thoughts of Jack gone.
"Elizabeth…Elizabeth are you all right?" Governor Swan asked, his voice filled with concern, "Is your corset laced to tight?"
Elizabeth turned to face her father who was standing outside of the carriage looking in.
"No." She laughed, "My corset's fine."
Governor Swan sighed, relieved that his daughter wouldn't have another fainting episode.
"Well we best get going! Don't want to keep William waiting do we?" He asked cheerfully.
He offered Elizabeth a hand, and she graciously accepted it stepping out of the carriage, and into the blazing sun.
As soon as Elizabeth's foot hit the pavement, she was bombarded with people. Some offering her ordoerves, some shoving drinks down her throat, and some just tugging at her dress, pulling her into the dressing room.
She was torn out of her nice dress, and shoved into her wedding gown. As women busted around, reapplying her make-up, tightening her dress, and spraying her hair, Elizabeth found herself looking up and into a mirror.
It was a full length mirror that rusted towards the top. Glowers were engraved in the wood along the sides, and Elizabeth felt her lips curve into a smile. She was confident, with her dress accentuating her curves, and making her tan skin look more porcelain. Her make-up was done beautifully, with pink just above her cheekbones, and a soft, rose colored lipstick.
"Elizabeth." Came her father's soft voice. "You look absolutely stunning."
Elizabeth grinned, took a deep breath, and advanced out of the tent. Never had she seen so many people, and all their eyes were on her. With her arm wrapped around her father's she felt a little better.
Will's breath caught in his throat, and he became light-headed. This was is. This was the girl he was to spend the rest o his life with.
She was beautiful, with the sun catching in her hair, and her skin sparkling like some sort of goddess. He reached out his hand when she was near enough, and Elizabeth grasped his warm palm with hers.
"Elizabeth." He greeted breathlessly.
"Will." She said her voice quavering. She looked around at the townspeople who all gathered to see the beloved daughter of their governor get married.
Elizabeth almost laughed when she saw her pirate friends shunned to one side of the courtyard. That's when her eyes met Jack's chocolate brown ones.
She took a quick intake of breath. No! Don't think about him…You love Will! Jack flashed a toothy grin, which showed off all his gold teeth. Elizabeth forced a smile out of herself, and turned back to face Will who was gazing at her intently.
"Elizabeth…" He said his tone unsure. He had noticed her reaction when she met Jack's eyes, her body tensed, and her palms began to sweat.
"Mister Turner? Miss Swan? Are you ready?" The priest asked.
Will gave a quick nod then stared at Elizabeth waiting for her reply. There was a slight pause, and Will began to fidget uncomfortably.
"Of course," Elizabeth began, "I've never been more ready in my entire life." She ended smiling graciously at Will.

The party after the wedding was better than Elizabeth expected it to be. Though the townspeople still kept their distance from the pirates, they were warming up to them.
The crew drank a good deal of rum, and began to sing and dance along to the song making a couple of the townspeople laugh and sing along. Gibbs was sitting off to the side telling children stories of the Black Pearl and her adventures, while Jack was busy dancing, drinking rum, and seducing women.
Elizabeth fingered her ring, and walked out of the festivities to join her husband in sightseeing.
Will turned at the sound of Elizabeth's heels clicking on the stone ground.
"Good afternoon Misses Turner." Will said.
"Good afternoon, my dear husband." Elizabeth said laughing; she still wasn't used to being called Misses Turner.
Will chuckled, and then turned back around gazing out to sea.
"You really want to go back to the sea don't you Will?" Elizabeth asked.
He nodded before answering solemnly, "I promised I'd free my father from Davey Jones."
"Will." She said gently, grabbing his hand.
He turned to her, and began lowering his lips to hers, until they heard an explosion. Over the explosion and hysterics both of them could still hear the Commodore's voice.
"CANNON FIRE!"
