Here we go!
The town was abuzz with the news of the Royal wedding. It wasn't everyday two Royals were married and despite the women's protests, everyone in town was planning and throwing ideas around for the perfect day. Regina wasn't thrilled at the idea of waddling down the aisle six months pregnant but they both wanted to do everything officially before their babies arrived and of course, she couldn't wait to be Mrs. Swan-Mills.
The big day finally came and Emma waited nervously at the tree in the woods which had brought her to her queen. Regina had been worried that maybe it wasn't the best place to celebrate their love, considering all the torture she had inflicted, but Emma had insisted that if it hadn't been for that curse, Regina would currently be in her 60s and her sworn enemy.
Emma wore a white pant suit with feathery tails streaming behind her. She had her hair up in a bouffant on top of her head with light make-up. She felt like a David Bowie impersonator but her mother had insisted she look the part to marry a queen and if she wouldn't wear a dress, well, there had to be some compromise.
Regina walked slowly down the woodland aisle towards her bride. She was stunning in an off white gown with purple embroidery which trailed behind her. She wore her hair loosly braided with flowers tucked in between the creases, and her offical tiara perched on her regal head. Her hair had grown tremendously thanks to the pregnancy hormones and she had a youthful glow about her.
Emma's eyes pricked with tears of joy as her future wife stood in front of her. They exchanged their vows with the deepest sincerity.
"Regina, I will love you through time and space. I'll help you back from fallen grace. I'll love you like no other could. In sickness, health, through bad and good. In any realm, our magic intertwined. I give you my heart, my soul and mind."
The crowds wept at Emma's complete devotion and very out of character poetic sappiness. Regina was stunned beyond words.
"Emma, There is no curse, no spell, no feeling that compares in magnitude for the love I feel for you. You made my blackened heart pure and whole and taught me how to love. You are my saviour, my strength, my friend and lover. Mother of our children and bringer of miracles. I promise to you for now and forever, you have my heart and I will guard and cherish yours eternally."
There wasn't a dry eye in the woods. Even Grumpy and Mr. Gold were blubbering. It really had been a perfect ceremony and when the couple finally kissed, the white light of true love illuminated the entire town. Nobody could deny the power of true love's kiss and the ceremony drew to an end.
Gold's wedding gift to the women had been a honeymoon trip back to the enchanted forest. It was a two way trip for the pair of them but Regina was suspicious.
"Gold, how long have you had the means to do this and why are we only just finding out?" She asked him.
"My dear, I simply think it fitting that you and the lovely Miss, I mean, Mrs Swan-Mills should spend your honeymoon in your own castle as is tradition with the Royal lineage. Please accept this as my peace offering to you both and by means of an apology for all my previous wrong doings. I myself have used this amulet on a number of occasions and had no trouble whatsoever."
Emma and Regina were still suspicious but what would Gold gain from doing anything dodgy with them at this stage of the game. The town wouldn't stand for it and he'd lose all the respect and power he was only just clawing back. Regina looked at Emma with pleading eyes. She wanted so much to spend their honeymoon together in her castle and treat Emma like the princess she really was.
Maybe it was those pleading eyes. Maybe it was the pregnancy hormones, but for some reason, Emma nodded and ignored her gut feeling that some crazy shit was about to go down.
