I looked toward the horizon. Today's the day, today's the day, I thought as I touched the ring in my pocket. Wait yesterday was the day, well now today is, oh gods, I argued with myself in my head. I had been trying to propose to my girlfriend for the past three weeks but, let's face I'm a chicken, an invincible chicken. Yah, well invincibility didn't give me courage in the romance department.

I was walking toward the beach at camp half blood, see we half bloods still come here during the summer even though we are too old for summer camp. We are counselors, we work here, and truth is camp half blood is the only place demi-gods feel at home no matter what age we are.

Annabeth had just graduated from college this year. She's an architect; her dream job and already has started a good career. I had graduated from community college a few years earlier but I still didn't really know what I wanted to do with my life. Truth is I wanted to work at camp half blood my whole life but I wasn't sure if Annabeth approved of that idea.

I saw Annabeth at sitting at the beach watching the horizon. I smiled, "Hey, Wise Girl."

She jumped, "Gods, Percy you've got to quit doing that!"

I laughed; ask her now, a little voice in my head chimed in.

I summoned my courage and said, Um, ud, hub, ubbub." Oh, gods.

"What?" Annabeth looked at me as if I was going mental, which I admit, maybe I was. "Do you have something to say to me, Seaweed Brain," she asked. As she said this her eyes sparkled.

"Um, well," then I came out and said it, "Annbetha you me marry will?" Well, I sort of said it. Then I fumbled and pulled the ring out of my pocket.

I looked at her and could tell she was trying not to laugh. "You can't ever make anything easy for me, can you?"I asked.

"You know I can't, I thought you would be getting used to that by now," Annabeth answered. Then she smiled and put the ring onto her finger. "And yes, Seaweed Brain, of course I'll marry you." Then she kissed me. When we broke apart she grabbed onto my hand and started to drag me towards camp.

"Where are we going?" I asked stupidly. I was still kind of dazed from the fact that she said yes to me and I was asking idiotic questions.

"To tell everyone the news," she answered. Then she rolled her eyes. "Shouldn't that be obvious?"

"Well, yah, but who should we tell first?" I asked

"Um well," but that question was answered when we ran into Clarisse.

"Clarisse, guess what?!" Annabeth shouted.

"Did he?"Clarisse asked.

"He did!"Annabeth squealed.

"Oh gods, Annabeth I'm so happy for you," said Clarisse as she embraced Annabeth. If you're wondering why Clarisse is being so nice to Annabeth it is because some time since my sixteenth birthday she and Annabeth became close friends. Clarisse still resents me though, which can explain the fact that she turned around and punched me on the shoulder as hard as she could. It would have hurt if I wouldn't have been invincible. "Punk," Clarisse said.

"Clarisse," I answered.

"Clarisse you have to be a bride's maid in the wedding, okay," Annabeth said, smiling with amusement.

"Of course I w…," she was interrupted by a loud crash. "Oh gods if Kevin broke his bunk in half again," she snarled. A loud scream came from the Ares cabin followed by crashes and booms that sounded like explosions. "Congrats Annabeth but I better go see what is going on."

"Bye, Clarisse," Annabeth said as she laughed hysterically.

Next we told Rachel, the oracle, who had also become a good friend of Annabeth's. She would also be a bride's maid. We then told Juniper and my half brother, Tyson the Cyclops. He was over eight feet tall now but, Hades, this was not going to be a normal wedding and there was no way his huge size would prevent him from being a groom's man. He was so happy that he picked me and Annabeth off the ground and hugged us so hard he almost suffocated us both.

We then went to Iris message people. I through a drachma in to a rainbow and said, "Oh great Iris accept this offering," I said. Grover appeared in the rainbow. He was in the middle of a forest.

He jumped, "Oh, Hi Percy, Annabeth what's" Then he saw the ring and stammered. "Percy, you and Annabeth are finally getting married?"

Annabeth laughed, "Of course Grover. You seem happy."

Grover looked ecstatic, "Well, you guys are getting married. Your my best friends, I'm so happy for you two."

I blushed, "Yah, and G-man you're my best man."

Grover looked stunned, "Percy, I'm honored but why me?"

I laughed, "Cause, you're my best friend G-man."

Grover smiled and looked around, "I'm sorry guys but I'm kind of"

"It's okay Grover we know you are busy and we have plenty more people to contact," Annabeth said, cutting him off.

"Well congrats you two," he said smiling.

"Bye Grover," Annabeth and I said simultaneously.

Grover disappeared and we decided to tell Thalia next, considering she would be the maid of honor. A young girl appeared in the rainbow.

"Lady Artemis," Annabeth called.

Artemis looked up, "Why are you…," then she saw Annabeth's ring. She sighed, "A perfectly good maiden wasted," she said and starred at me as if I was a disease. "I suppose you would like to speak to Thalia, though."

"Yes, and thank you Lady Artemis," Annabeth said smiling.

Artemis sighed again and halfheartedly said "Congrats, I suppose."

She disappeared and Thalia stood in her place. Annabeth, Percy, what's wrong? Artemis said this was an urgent matter." She looked fierce and angry but when she saw the ring her expression softened. "Oh, so Percy finally proposed. I told you he would eventually, Annabeth."

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing Seaweed Brain," Thalia said but she winked at Annabeth as she said it.

"What?" I asked again.

"Well, it took you long enough," Thalia said, shaking her head.

I was about to protest but Annabeth cut in, "Well that doesn't matter now anyway, Thalia. I wanted to ask you to be the maid of honor."

Thalia nodded. I knew since she was a hunter of Artemis so she didn't particularly like weddings but she liked Annabeth more and I knew she'd agree to it. She smiled "Of course, why wouldn't I?" A horn blew loudly in the distance. Thalia frowned, "Sorry guys I've got to go,"

"Bye, Thalia," we said.

"Bye," she answered and her face faded away.

We then Iris messaged our mortal parents. My mom was very happy and invited us over for dinner. Dr. Chase looked really proud of his daughter. Last we contacted Nico who would be my third groom's man. He laughed at me and Annabeth but said he wouldn't miss it.

After we finished Iris messaging I realized something.

"Annabeth, do you think we have to invite the gods," I asked.

Annabeth pursed her lips, "We'll have to send them all invitations, yes, but I doubt they'll come."

I nodded it, made perfect sense. Then, suddenly I felt a strange presence outside. Like an aura of wisdom and an aura of the ocean. "It couldn't be?" I said. I looked at Annabeth. She was as surprised as I was. She shrugged and pushed the door open. A man and a woman stood outside. The man had my black hair and green eyes. The woman had Annabeth's stormy grey eyes-Poseidon and Athena. They didn't look happy.

"Um… Hi Mother, Lord Poseidon," Annabeth said nervously.

"Um… Don't get me wrong Father, Lady Athena I'm honored you came but what are you doing here," I asked.

Athena huffed, "You know perfectly well why we are here." She sighed at the puzzled expressions on our faces. "Your wedding," which I admit was pretty obvious.

"Mother, how did you and Lord Poseidon find out about our wedding?"

Poseidon spoke this time, "Artemis told us," he didn't seem happy about this at all.

"We were going to tell you Father but we didn't want to bother you," I stated.

"Well we deserve to know," Athena sounded angry too.

"We'll both be coming to your wedding," Athena said. "The gods will plan it and set it up. It will be on June 10th of next year.

"Why such a long wait, Mother?" Annabeth asked.

"It will give you enough time to realize your horrible mistake of marrying that," Athena said while looking at me in disgust.

"Do you approve Father?" I asked

He sighed, "I'll get over it, besides I love a good party," my father answered me matter- of -factly. "Oh, and I forgot to mention you have to invite all the gods and goddesses."

"Yah we were already going to invite them," Annabeth answered. "Will they come?" she asked.

"Most will," Athena answered.

"Really, why?" I asked.

"Most gods don't get personally invited to a lot of weddings and gods and goddesses love to party!" Poseidon exclaimed.

Athena huffed beside him and rolled her eyes. "Well, most do anyway," Poseidon said. He shouldn't have said that. Athena's face got really angry. She looked like a lion ready to pounce but before she said or did anything they disappeared in a burst of light.

"So much for having a small wedding," Annabeth said.

"We are going to have a crazy wedding that the gods and goddesses put together and there is nothing we can do about it," I stated. It was a little overwhelming.

"Yah," Annabeth said. "Oh gods, this is going to be crazy!"

"Yep, we should probably start the couple thousand invitations now," I said sadly.

She laughed, "Oh, Seaweed Brain, I love you,"

I laughed too, "I love you too Annabeth." Then I happily kissed my fiancé.
