Della

Della managed to wake up on time the morning of her wedding. Thankfully. She climbed out of her bed quickly and got dressed. Her parents were there, and they said good morning and that they'd see her at the wedding. The last part was said with huge grins.

Della light leaped to the fancy fitting room that was set up for her wedding. A few of her bridesmaids were there, including the maid of honour, Edaline. Edaline and Della had been good friends when they attended Foxfire, the elvin world's most prestigious academy. So Edaline grinned happily at Della as the soon-to-be maid of honour held up an elegant blue dress covered in strands of diamonds and glitter. The sleeves were short and cute, perfect for the warm summer wedding. The matching pair of shoes near Edaline's feet were blue ballet flats with pearl shards glinting on them. Edaline's hair was a pretty bun woven around a huge pearl. Della smiled.

"I can't believe you let me be your maid of honour! I've always wanted to be one. And for my best friend! It's a dream come true!" Edaline exclaimed. Then she looked Della up and down. "You're not even ready! And neither am I! OH NO RUN FAST FAST-" Della cut Edaline's panic short.

"It's only nine o'clock, you crazy. The wedding is at four! We have hours. Don't worry." Edaline calmed down at Della's soothing words.

"Sorry, Della. You're right. We're good. You know, it's surprising that I'm the one freaking out, not you. I mean, it's your wedding. But I guess you've always been calm." Edaline breathed a sigh of relief. Della laughed.

"Eda, there are a million things I'm stressed about. But if I only worried about that, I'd never get married. So I just stick my worries away in a far away corner of my mind." Della explained. Edaline grinned, her confidence back.

"Well, let's get ready for this wedding!"

Alden

Alden smoothed his tunic. He glanced at his hair in the gold framed mirror and shrieked.

"GRADY, WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HAIR?!" Alden's head resembled a cactus. His usually tidy hair was a mess of spikes and knots. And to make things worse, it was green. Grady, who was adjusting his boots, jumped so high his head almost hit the ceiling.

"Don't yell like that! I thought you were dying or something!" Grady finally looked at the panicked Alden. "Oh wow… Fine, hair that terrible warrants a death screech." Grady admitted begrudgingly. "What'd you do, stick your head in a vat of mushed vegetables?"

"I don't know! It just happened! What will we do?!" Alden said, his eyes like saucers. "I can't get married like this!" Grady looked around the dressing room. His eyes settled on Kesler, who had a very strange look on his face. Like he was trying to hide laughter.

"Kesler, did you wreck Alden's hair?" Grady asked. "If you did, we need to fix it!" Kesler burst out laughing.

"Okay, I will. I'm sorry. Alden was so stressed, I was just wanting to crack a little joke…" Kesler looked embarrassed now. He grabbed a small vial from his pocket and tossed it to Grady. The vial read One Drink One Blink: From Hair Attack to Hair Back! Grady made the hysterical Alden drink the vial, and as soon as Alden blinked his hair turned normal and calmed down.

"Kesler, that was a terrible time to do that, but I have to admit, it was pretty funny!" Alden told Kesler, who perked up and grinned. "But now we need to get onto that stage. Everyone ready?" The groomsmen nodded. And they formed a line as they followed Alden into the flower field.

Soon, Alden stood on the stage, glancing at the officiator, an elf from the matchmaking office, nervously. All of a sudden, a murmur of excitement passed through the crowd. Alden craned his neck to watch as Della and her bridesmaids walked up the aisle. The blue carpet protected their shoes as they walked up the steps onto the platform. Della, of course, blinked in and out of sight as she walked with her father holding her arm. Soon she joined Alden on the stage as the officiator began reading. Soon he got to the rings.

"You can now exchange rings." Kesler subtly passed Grady a scentless smoke bomb while Edaline conjured a ring into Della's hands. Grady tossed the smoke bomb in front of Alden and passed him the ring through the smoke. Della rolled her eyes jokingly at the men. Della reached out with the ring and Alden reached out as well when all of the sudden Dame Alina light leaped between them.

"Nope."

Alina

Alina turned to Alden.

"You know why I'm here. And I'm not leaving or letting this happen."

Hello! Me again! Okay first things first: I know Kesler wouldn't be there, but I didn't want an unrecognizable OC who would over complicate things. Also, I can't remember how weddings go exactly, so please don't use this as a reference for your final exam. I will post the next chapter soon, then I will likely post a chapter about Calla's braid. Thanks,
