This is just a series of short Drabbles throughout Will and Elizabeth's marriage; starting with the wedding. Some chapters may take place closer together and others might take place farther apart in time.
Wedding Day Disaster
"No; those are not the flowers we ordered! They are supposed to be calla lilies and orchids! Not roses and orchids. Elizabeth made it very clear that she would not have roses at her wedding! She says they're plain and old. Everybody uses them so she doesn't want them. Now take them back, fix them, and get them back in three hours, or I'll have guts for garters; got it?" Elizabeth's maid of honor, Gracie, ranted. The man who delivered the flowers to the hotel where the wedding was being held, look frightened. He slightly nodded and left.
"Ease up, Gracie. For God's sake" Gigi, another bridesmaid said.
"Look, I have double the responsibility. I have all of the duties that come with being the maid of honor, and I'm the wedding planner. It's my job to make sure nothing goes wrong. Now, how long ago did you wake Elizabeth up?"
"I thought you did"
"I told you to do it!"
"No, you said 'I'll wake her up and you steam her veil!'"
"I said 'you wake her up and tell Ana to steam her veil!"
"Well you know not to tell me anything while I'm reading"
"You shouldn't have been reading!" Gracie exclaimed.
"Shouldn't we be waking her up now instead of yelling at each other?"
"I have to take care of things down here. You go wake her up and you tell Ana to steam her veil. She needs to be dressed and ready in an hour and a half. The make up artist and hair dresser will be here in 45 five minutes. Now go" Gigi ran towards the elevator to wake up her friend.
After about a year of planning, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann were finally getting married. They decided to get married in a beautiful hotel in London, England, where they lived. And for convenience; they both stayed the night in the hotel. They stayed in separate rooms on separate floor; as to avoid the 'bad luck' of Will seeing Elizabeth before the ceremony.

It was half an hour until Will would be standing at the alter waiting for Elizabeth to walk down the isle. But now, he was worried that he wouldn't make it past that point in his life.
"Ah, Elizabeth is going to kill me!" Will grunted. He had taken his white, collared shirt off and was scrubbing water and stain remover to get off the big, rum stain.
"Calm down, mate. Just keep scrubbing and it will come out" His best man said nonchalantly while leaning back in a chair and taking a swig of rum.
"Easy for you to say, Jack; you were the one that said 'go on; drink some rum. It will calm your nerves'"
"Well you were the one that claimed you didn't have cold feet"
"I didn't until you went on about being with one woman the rest of my life; coming home to the same person everyday; falling asleep next to the same woman every night; having to go out at 1 in the morning when she gets pregnant to bring back peanut butter ice cream, only to come back and have her say she wants peppermint ice cream with pickles. Then you started with 'what if you're making a mistake, ever wonder about that?' and 'what if you guys get a divorce, do you know how hard that will be?' and of course, 'you can't go out anymore. I won't have my buddy to go drinking; you'll be totally separated from me. She will make you be with her every second of everyday until you're buried under the ground and have worms crawling in and out of your skeletal eyes. If then, cause she will probably insist on being buried next to you! God man, don't you want me instead of her?' and started crying" Will mocked.
"I'm good, aren't I?"
"No your not; that's all bloody bull! And now, since you got me all worked up about it, I ruined my shirt and she will kill me! I may be buried under the ground with worms crawling in and out of my skeletal eyes much sooner than anticipated"
"Here, man" Jack began; taking his shirt off as well.
"I'm sorry, Jack; I'm soon to be a married man. I can't fool around with you anymore, I have a responsibility. And besides; if Elizabeth were ever to find out about you and I, well I don't know what to do. I do love you, but I love Elizabeth as well. I hope you can find love as I have" He said sarcastically.
"You're laughing now; but you won't be when Elizabeth kills you. Now here, wear my shirt, I'll wear yours. I'm used to Elizabeth being mad at me. You shouldn't have to deal with her being mad at you again until after the honeymoon. Otherwise it might make it a little hard to get lucky"
"Fine, come on. We still have to iron our jackets and figure out how to tie our bloody ties"
--
Elizabeth was looking at herself in the mirror of her hotel room. The sight that she saw made her cry.
"I look like a princess bride" She said.
Her dress was beautiful. It was a white, ball gown silhouette dress with Basque waist and sweetheart neckline. It was made out of lace, had spaghetti straps and was embroidered with beads all over the dress. The train was a long chapel style train. Her veil was lace and had bead embroidery that matched the dress. Her long, brown hair had been curled and half of it was put up in a small, simple, loose bun while the rest of it draped her shoulders.
"I can't believe it; you're the first one of us to get married" Gigi said as she straitened out the back of the train.
"I know; it seems like just yesterday I was planning all of our weddings while I was suppose to be taking a test in school. I remember; your wedding, Elizabeth, was going to be on the beach. Your dress was a simple, flowy dress with a pink sash. Mine was a completely elegant wedding. My dress was a silk, slinky dress with embroidery at the waist. It was going to be at the chapel where my mum and dad got married. The wedding color was going to be violet. I pictured little flower girls in puffy violet dresses and dancing around to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Oh that was so long ago" Gracie reminisced out loud.
"What about my wedding?" Gigi asked.
"Oh, I always thought you'd elope. But hey, there's still time; I may not be wrong"
"And mine?" Ana asked, walking in, although having heard the conversation.
"I never thought you'd get married"
Ana rolled her eyes. "I just checked to make sure the reception hall is getting put together correctly. It's already; they just have to bring in the food and cake. It'll be perfect by the time the ceremony ends.
"Oh, it's time. We have to go" Gracie checked her watch.
"I'll be there in a moment. I just want to be alone for a moment" Elizabeth said.
"Fine, but hurry" Gracie replied and rushed Gigi and Ana out of the room, closing the door behind her.
Elizabeth pushed back a hair from her face and wiped away the tears that were forming. She took a deep, long, breath and then smiled. She turned away from the mirror, walked across the room, opened the door and walked out. When she closed the door, she didn't realize the end of her train had gotten closed in with it. She took a couple steps and then heard a big rip. Her eyes widened and she turned around and gasped. The back of her dress had ripped from the bottom to the waist. She opened the door and let her dress out. She clutched a handful and ran as fast as she could in heals. She stopped at the doors that went into the ceremony. The bridesmaids and flower girl were in line, getting ready to walk out.
"Gracie" Elizabeth whispered loudly to Gracie who was in front of her.
"What?"
"My dress ripped"
"What?" She exclaimed loudly. The rest of the girls turned around. "Okay, we may be able to fix this" She said after a moment of thought.
"Oh my god, what did you do?" Ana asked.
"She ripped her dress" Gracie told her.
"How?" Gigi asked.
"I don't have time to explain. Now help!"
"Ana, go tell everybody that the wedding is on hold. There is a wardrobe crisis and it will resume in a few minutes. Gigi, come with me and help" Gracie ordered.
Ana did as she was told and the three girls went off to fix the dress.
"So what's your plan?" Elizabeth moaned.
"Don't worry; I have everything I need to fix this" Gracie got up and took a small, portable sewing kit out of a suitcase. "Never know when you are going to need this. We'll just sew the rip together with silver thread to match the dress"
"What about the stitches; they'll still be clearly visible; even if the stitches aren't, the creases where we sewed will" Gigi said.
"Ahh; my wedding is ruined!" Elizabeth cried.
Gracie thought for a moment. "No it's not. Just…give me your dress and veil"
"Why do you need my veil?"
"The fabric and embroidery in the veil matches the fabric and embroidery in the dress. It won't be noticeably unless they take a good, long, close look at it. And I don't know why you'd have people sniffing around your ass. Perfect plan"
Elizabeth smiled and thanked Gracie for her help. She carefully took off her dress with her friend's help. She waited anxiously in her slip as her friends fixed her problem.
--
The wedding party was in their line again and were about to walk down the isle. Elizabeth stood at the back; smiling, but with tears in her eyes. You could hardly tell that her dress had been ripped and was covered up with her veil. The ceremony started and the girls walked down the isle. Elizabeth got to the door, and waiting at the door was her father.
"You look beautiful, darling"
"Thanks, Dad" He took her arm in his and they began walking.
Elizabeth looked down the isle at Will and he looked back at her with loving eyes. She looked over and saw Jack and his stained shirt. She rolled her eyes and muttered "Oh my God" under her breath.
The short walk felt like hours to both Will and Elizabeth. When they got to the end, Elizabeth kissed her dad on the cheek.
"I love you, Dad"
"I love you too. This man better make you happy"
"He will" She smiled and Will took her hand and led her to the wedding canopy.
"You are stunning, my love" He whispered into her ear and she smiled at him.
--
"You may now kiss the bride" The minister announced about a half hour later. Will took his new wife by the waist, pulled her close, and crushed his lips against hers. It lasted about a minute until they pulled apart and beamed madly at each other.
The couple happily walked out of the ceremony room together as people smiled and clapped behind them.
"First the flowers are wrong, then Jack's shirt is stained," Will chuckled to himself, but Elizabeth didn't notice. "And then my dress rips! I think we've had all of the bad luck we're gonna have at this wedding"
--
While the guests were eating at the reception, Will, Elizabeth, and the rest of the wedding party were outside by a pond taking pictures. They were standing right in front of it when Elizabeth lost her footing. "Ahh!" She cried as she fell towards the pond.
"Whoa, there Elizabeth" Lucky for her; Will caught her.
"Thanks, Will. I don't know what I'd do if I was drenching wet on my wedding day" She laughed slightly.
And then, only a few moments later, rain began to fall. Harder and harder as the group ran for cover.
--
I really hope you like it! I don't know when the next chapter will be up; don't worry; it probably won't be a long time though.
