Chapter 2: A Godly Wedding
The next few months were very stressful. We had to find a church, book a band, get are save the dates, order the wedding cake, get the rings, and so much more. There was never a day that went by that I couldn't wait to get home and relax then go to sleep. But when ever I would wake up the next day the stress would start all over once again.
We were going to get married on June 21 (which is the day of the summer solstice) and that was about four months away. I also feel like Annabeth has been driving me crazy, because according to her everything has got to be perfect.
I finally got a break about two months before the wedding. She was dress shopping and thank the gods I was not allowed to go even with in a thousand feet of a bridal shop. So I just decided to kick it back with Grover in my apartment.
Well more stress had started in June because of our guest list all we wanted to invite was just close family and friends and not to mention we invited the gods from Olympus. You see what happened was we invited Hermes and I guess he thought that Luke was allowed to come.
"Percy did you invite Luke?" Annabeth had asked me twenty days before the wedding.
"No did you want him to come?"
"Well kind of, I was just wondering because I saw that he was on the guest list."
"If you want him to come, then you know that's fine with me."

Wedding day is finally here. I got out of bed, got dressed and drove to the beach (we decided we wanted a beach wedding instead of being at a church). At about eleven that morning I was at the Palm Beach.
The wedding didn't start for another hour. So I thought that I would use the spare time to just review my vows to Annabeth.
*******
The time came and I was standing at the alter, almost bored out of my mind, when I saw Annabeth walking down the aisle. She looked like she did when I proposed to her. Of course the dress was long and white, but what was different about it was that it was straight down, it hugged at her curves, the straps were little spaghetti straps and it was another v- neck, she wore small diamond dangle earrings and a matching necklace, her hair was curled and pinned up along with two strands down the side of her face that were also curled. Once again she looked wonderful!!!
I could tell that with each step she took she wanted to run, but knew that she couldn't. She worked really hard not to roll her eyes has she walked slowly down the aisle(lets face it though if I had to walk slowly down an aisle I would have tried to roll my eyes too, and being ADHD wouldn't really help either of us) locked arm in arm with her dad.
When she had gotten to the alter we had locked eyes and started grinning. We were paying attention but, we just couldn't take our eyes off of each other.
"I, Percy Jackson take thee Annabeth Chase to be my wife." I said when it was my turn to say my vows. "I, Annabeth Chase take thee Percy Jackson to be my husband." She said when it was her turn.
"By the power invested by the gods I now pronounce you man and wife you may kiss the bride."
Annabeth pressed against me a little hard, but we kissed for a short and kind of short time.
