When I got done talking to Greta, I was a little shocked because I haven't heard from Barden since our parents' funeral and my dressage retirement party. It has been 3 days since I had heard the news about my brother coming to town from Wyoming and he has arrived at the park to talk to me and Grimlock about the wedding in 3 weeks. Barden come into the office and I offered him a seat in front of my desk. I asked him, "Where have you been all this time?! I haven't seen you since our parents' funeral and you finally decided to show up to be part of my wedding! You want to talk to my fiancée about being part of our wedding? Fine but I have to warn you that my fiancée isn't what you call a reasonable person". We got into the Gator and we drove to the Forbidden Pasture. I'm still mad at Barden for showing up to the park and not saying anything about his life in Wyoming. Grimlock sees me angry and fuming which is rare for him and then he sees my long-lost brother from Wyoming which I have told him about while we were dating. Bo is with the bots at their base and he will be there for 4 days for training. I and Barden walked up the stairs inside the cave and Barden is going to get a really good talking from Grimlock stared down at Barden and said to him, "You must be Barden, my fiancée's long-lost brother from Wyoming. I can't believe you would show your face around since you had that fight with my fiancée at your parents' funeral. I don't want to know the reason about it all but you better be on your best behavior here because if you don't, you don't want to be on my bad side. You understand me, boy?" Barden shook his head yes and he said to Grimlock, "Don't worry about it there, sir. Even though I had a record before, that part of me has been put behind me already. I just can't believe how much my sister has change from being shy and a little scared girl to a strong, brave, wise, and reasonable woman. I just don't why she moved to the country and not into the city. That isn't my concern but I have heard that she took on a very distrustful truck and YOU are expecting your third child already. I'm really sorry for getting out of terms there but it just odd that she is marrying you and she is going to be a mother of a dinobot". Before he could say anything else that could set Grimlock off because Grim is only 9 weeks pregnant, I grabbed Barden by his shirt collar and the back of his shirt and I dragged him the stairs. I hit Barden in the nose and I scolded him for saying what he said to Grimlock about me moving to the country, taking on a very distrustful truck, Grim's pregnancy, and my wedding. Greta finally come to the cave before I given Barden more than just a bloody nose and she helped my brother into her Gator and they left before I really gotten angry. My left hand hurts a little bit after hitting Barden in the nose but he did deserved it though. Grimlock was a little shocked about it but he was really proud about me sticking up for him. I put ice on hand from hitting Barden and I started shaking from my anxiety but Grimlock managed to calm me down before my anxiety went straight through the roof. 2 weeks have passed and the wedding is in 2 weeks away but my actions on the day my brother come to town and I hit him in the nose for badmouthing my family and my life weren't my way of handling things. I called Barden but he didn't answer and I left him a voicemail saying, "Hi, Barden. This is your sister, Sadie. I just to say I'm sorry for hitting you in the nose but you hurt my fiancée's feelings and he is 11 weeks pregnant with your niece or nephew. I still want you to come my wedding but you have to make up to Grimlock and you need to meet your nephew who asked to meet his uncle that he has never meet before. Please answer you phone and listen to this voicemail. Goodbye for now". 3 hours later, Barden called me back and he told me that he wants to come to my wedding but he is more scared of Grimlock than he is scared of me. I told him to suck it up and he needs make up to Grimlock because Grim is stressed out from his pregnancy and the wedding that is 2 weeks away. Barden told me he will do it as long I'm not there to hit him. I agreed with his deal and he will be here in an hour to talk to Grimlock. I meet Bardeen at the Forbidden Pasture but I warned him to watch what he says to my fiancée. I stood outside the cave and l listened while Barden said his sorry to Grimlock for his mouth and He met his nephew, Bo. Grimlock agrees to let my brother to come to the wedding but Barden has to watch his mouth and his temper. Barden waved goodbye to us and he left to return to his hotel room in Crown City. I was shocked that Bo didn't attack his uncle because of what Grimlock told him about Barden mouthing off to his father. I gotten home around 7:16 pm and I decided to go to bed early because I deserved a well-deserved rest before getting married to the love of my life in 2 weeks. The wedding is a week away but Grimlock and I haven't had our bachelor and bachelorette parties yet. Grimlock is having his bachelor party at my friend's barn and I'm having my bachelorette party/bonfire at my house. The Autobots, Denny, Russell, Barden, and Tyler started a bonfire 6:24 pm and they told stories about how they met and their lives while me, Greta, Leda, Rosie, Anna, and Riley already started our bonfire 5 minutes before they did and we just talked about the good old times from when we were younger. I knew Rosie, Anna, and Riley from the dressage training camp that I held back in Ohio 6 years ago. Riley is the 3rd child of 5 kids and she lost her 2nd daughter to lung cancer at 14 years old and she is only 29 years old and she has 1 son and 1 stepdaughter. Anna is from Italy and she doesn't have any family in Italy. The only family Anna has here in the USA is her 45 year old mother and 14 year old brother. Riley is from Texas and she is married to a retired Army Medic. They have no kids of their own yet but they have adopted a son from Germany. Riley is 32 and her husband, Dominic, is 33 and I'm only 25 and I am the youngest in the group. Greta is 35 and she lost her husband to bone cancer at the age of 36. Greta said to us, "I like to salute my dearest friend, Sadie Deben. She is the greatest woman amongst us all and she is known in the Dressage world as Poker Rider and she is the best zoologist that ever lived. I wish her and Grimlock best wishes in their marriage and I also want to wish Bo luck for getting Sadie as a mother in his life. I know Luau is watching from heaven right now as her father and brother gain this woman into their life and they will be one big happy family". I started to cry and I gotten up from my chair and I hugged Greta because I'm grateful for the speech she gave about my life. Everybody went home for the night and Grimlock is staying the night at Tyler's ranch in the barn. It is 9:12 am in the morning and the wedding is in 4 days. We already practiced the rehearsal dinner and the wedding rehearsal 2 days ago but Grimlock and I need to practice and write our vows for the wedding. Grimlock already written 2 pages of his vows and I have already written a page of my vows. I have started on page 2 of my vows when I got a text from one of the park rangers that Leda is waiting for me in the main office to talk about the park. I drove to the park and I went inside the main office to talk to Leda. Leda said, "The reason why I'm here from Florida is that in my parents' will, it says that I must either come back to Crown City and come back to the park or the park have to be place up for sale". I told her I would be the new park owner because the park would disappear off the map if she sold it to someone who didn't know it like me and Grimlock. Leda sold the park to me and Grimlock and Leda returned to Florida. I told Grimlock and Bo the good news and they are happy and excited that their home and the park didn't have to be sold to someone who will change the park a whole different way. The wedding is tomorrow and I have 2 pages of my vows. I'm finished with my vows when Greta called me crying, "I need your help, Sadie. My house has been burnet to the ground and I've lost everything but the picture of me and Ronnie on our wedding day. I need a place to stay till I can get an apartment in Crown City". I told her that she can stay with me till she get back on her feet. I hung up with her and I went to the Forbidden Pasture talk to Grimlock about Greta and her house being burnet to the ground. I have managed to hold the anger and the tears but my rage can't be contained anymore and a roar come echoing out of my voice. I recognized the roar as Luau's roar because that is her rage roar when someone close to her is hurt. Her mana and spirit must transferred into my White Shark tooth necklace when she passed away. I was shocked when I let out a t–rex roar but I can use her mana and spirit to protect my family and the surrounding areas of Crown City and Crown City. The roar wasn't loud enough for Grimlock and Bo to hear clear enough. Grimlock sees me coming from the old deer trail and I told him I need talk to him about Greta. We went inside the cave and I said to him, "I just gotten a call from Greta that her house have been burnet to the ground and she is going to be staying with me till she gets a new place in Crown City. The only thing she managed to save is a picture of her and her husband, Ronnie on their wedding day. Her shop is located in Crown City and her home was on the outskirts and the fire department is a few miles from her home". Grimlock was shocked to hear this news and he is happy that I look out for my friends and family. It is tradition that the bride and groom don't see each other before the wedding so, I head back home because the park is closed for today and tomorrow for the set-up of the wedding and the wedding of me and Grimlock. Greta is in the living room when I gotten home from work. Greta said to me, "I'm glad I can stay with you for now. Don't worry about me and my problems for now because the wedding is tomorrow and I want you and Grimlock to happy for your new life together". The wedding is today and It is in 5 ½ hours because almost everybody is here expect for Barden and Leda. Leda texted me that she is running a little late because she had to get gas for her car and she forgot her flower girl dress at her house. I see Barden pulling into my driveway and he wants to see his big sister getting ready for her big day. Barden is walking me down the aisle because our dad is gone and he wants to honor our father by wearing his tuxedo and his cufflinks. I was in the middle of getting my hair and makeup when Barden walked in the front door wearing our father's tuxedo and cufflinks. I almost cried because the last time I saw my father's tuxedo is when Barden was given it at our parents' funeral. Leda pulls into the driveway and she is the last one to finish her makeup and hair. Greta brings in my wedding dress and I went into my room to get into it. Barden and my wedding party were busy mingling with each other when I walked down the stairs in my wedding dress and they were floored by the way I looked like a medieval queen. The wedding is in 2 ½ hours and all of us headed to the Forbidden Pasture but Barden and I are in the park office until Greta gives us the signal on the park radio to come to the Forbidden Pasture. The wedding is in a 1 ½ hour and Greta gives us the signal to come to the Forbidden Pasture. Tyler let me and Barden two of his Quarter horse geldings to ride to the Forbidden Pasture to make a grand entrance. It felt great being back in a Western saddle and riding horses again because I missed having fun with an equine partner at horse shows. Barden has gotten a good lead from me and I started to get closer to Barden. We see Greta and she stops us at the pear tree. Tyler sees us and walks to us and said to me, "I'm glad I can be part of your wedding and I want to give you this 5 yr. old buckskin Quarter horse gelding as a gift from me". I told him thanks for the horse. The music is about to start and we get ready for the grand entrance. The music starts with Nordic flutes and drums. Barden and I clicked to our horses to a slow canter down the aisle towards Father Thomas and Grimlock and Tyler held the horses for us and we got off the horses. Barden walked me up the stairs to Grimlock and I laid my hands onto his claws. Father Thomas started with the Opening Ceremony, Open prayer, the definition of a wedding, and the Wedding vows. I started with my vows and I said to Grimlock, "I know that Luau isn't here to see us uniting our family today but I know now that she is up in Heaven now watching this union. I'm really excited to have you as a husband and gaining Bo for a son. Even though we are different than most people, our love is more honorable and justly honest. I just hope people don't judge us by our looks and our hearts". The wedding crowd, Bo, and Grimlock can't stop crying about my vows and Grimlock decided to skip his vows because he has already been given the gift of a loving wife, a strong son, a child on the way, and Earth as his home. Grimlock and I exchanged our rings and Father Thomas closed with a Norse poem called I give my soul to you and it talks about a man giving his soul to his beloved. Father Thomas turned to the crowd and said to them, "By the power vested in me and the Almighty Lord, I now pronounce Grimlock and Sadie as husband and wife. Grimlock, you may now kiss the bride". Grimlock kissed me on the lips and it felt like all my old worries have melted away. Father Thomas also said to the crowd, "I present to Mr. and Mrs. Deben!" and the crowd applauded our union. I climbed down the stairs and I climbed back onto Dusty, my equine partner. Grimlock and I lead our guests to the Big Tent and smaller tents for the reception and other activities. Tyler took Dusty for me and he took Dusty to a 6 by 11 ft. horse corral after he untacked Dusty. Everybody has settled in their seats and the tables are set with medieval food on the center of the tables like a medieval feast for a wedding. Our guests were very surprised by the food selection and the servers are helping the guests on picking their meal and drinks. The drink options are Mead, Spiced Pomegranate with honey, Warm Apple Cider, and Hot Spice Wine. I chose the Warm Apple Cider because I'm not a heavy drinker and alcohol doesn't agree with me. It is time for speeches and Barden is the first one to start with his speech. Barden said to me and Grimlock, "I would to offer my congratulations to the happy couple. I want to wish them a happy life for many years together".
