Chapter 4
The wedding part II
A lot of things were on the princess mind. She was standing at the door of the cathedral looking the man in the altar waiting for her. He was very good looking she could tell, she was nervous she couldn't deny it, in a couple of minutes she would be married to this man. Her father looked at her briefly and then started to walk down the aisle she barely looked at people but she knew they were staring at her and how she looked.
Her dress was white with a long veil over the crown that would make her able to see as soon the prince put up the veil; her long red hair had some braids around the crown. She wore a necklace that matched the dress. The dress has a bodice that made her silhouette amazing, the long sleeves covered her delicate arms, and her hands held a beautiful bouquet of soft pink and white roses with green details. The rest of the dress was long, simple and delicate with some needlework in silver threads she looked stunning everyone could say it.
They stopped a few feet away from Derek who came near to accept the bride
"I hope you be happy my dear and very loved daughter" her father said lowly to her and kissed her cheek through the veil, she just nodded unable to ease the lump in her throat then her father looked at Derek
"Prince Derek this is my daughter I'm giving you the most precious stone of our kingdom I hope you can make her happy. I'll let her in your hands, care about her I know she would do just the same for you" then he put her hand in to Derek's one.
Derek was very confused the person in the portrait was blond and he also saw a blond woman last night and this girl was read head he couldn't help but started to wonder how this princess really look like. he wanted to take out the veil, he was anxious and he didn't why or maybe he was just afraid he would like this woman then he would be in trouble.
The mass started and the priest said the welcome to everyone and the reason of the mass and asked the couple…
"prince Derek and princess Addison have you come here freely and without reservation to give yourselves to each other in marriage?
"yes we come" they answer
"Will you love and honor each other as man and wife for the rest of your lives?"
"yes we will"
"Will you accept children lovingly from God and bring them up according to the law of Christ and his Church? "
"yes we will"
Every now and then they looked each other and Derek could notice a smile in Addison's features. For Addison everything was going really fast because they were already in the vows part
"we are going to pronounce the ritual for the vows. Since it is your intention to enter into marriage, join your right hands, and declare your consent before God and his Church."
Derek sighed nervously and nodded "I, Prince Derek of Hampshire take you, Princess Addison, for my lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, I will love you and honor you until death do us part."
Addison breathed heavily and looked at him "I, princess Addison of Yorkshire, take you, Prince Derek, for my lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, I will love you and honor you until death do us part."
You have declared your consent before the Church. May the Lord in his goodness strengthen your consent and fill you both with his blessings.
What God has joined, men must not divide.
Derek took Addison hand and he felt how soft it was he smile warmly at her.
"Lord, bless these rings which we bless in your name. Grant that those who wear them may always have a deep faith in each other. May they do your will and always live together in peace, good will, and love. We ask this through Christ our Lord" the priest said while blessing the rings.
Derek put his hand under her chin making her to stared at him, Addison was surprised at this gesture. He looked at her intensely and then smiled she cast down her eyes and looked up again.
"Princess Addison take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" and then he kissed her hand in a way to assure her he was going to make her happy
Addison's voice cracked a little in the moment she said the sentence trying to control her emotions "take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit"
"now you are husband and wife. you might kiss the bride" the priest said smiling. In that moment Meredith said to her friends Christina, Isobel and Alexandra…
"oh just wait to see her…" she said laughing lowly
Slowly Derek put up the veil and then he was shocked. Everyone else was saying their wows! And how beautiful, gasp, and all kind of exclamations. But one person in the pews was scared. Meredith. She couldn't believe her eyes this was not happening!
Addison looked straight in to Derek's eyes like she was penetrating his soul and so did Derek they stared at each other Slowly he went closer until their noses were almost touching, she breathed deeply and closed her eyes he took this as his sing and captured her lips in his, as they make contact their body's felt a jolt of electricity.
The kiss was slow and tender at first but Derek felt the urge to deepen the kiss and he did. Addison felt Derek's tongue asking for permission and she agreed so the kiss was now more intense and their tongues duel but then returned to gentle to finally end.
They keep seeing in to each other's eyes for a moment Derek smiled at her and she smile back brightly in that moment the prince gasped and went closer to her ear while the guests were clapping
"I think I just fell in love with your smile…" Addison stared at him with big eyes and blush cheeks. Derek remembered the letter and he was right. this woman intrigued him, he wanted to know more about princess Addison …he wanted to know all about her.

When they were at the entrance of the cathedral now as husband and wife the people started to yell and clap. The prince and princess went in to the carriage to do the rout. They greet the people in the old streets. the little girls gave Addison some flowers all of them really like the new princess they hadn't see her the night before although she was very kind and greet them from the carriage.
"so how are you feeling" Derek asked her
"I'm good. a little overwhelmed with everything you know" Derek smile gentle and nodded
"we are here, we are going to the balcony to our kiss…the official kiss" she laughed and Derek couldn't help but love that
"I thought we already had our official kiss in the cathedral"
"oh no! That was the formal one" they burst in laugh
"ok prince Derek I think I need a really nice kiss from my husband" she said flirting with him. The nervous and all that was gone now, the rout help them to break the ice, they talked a little and they found out they like each other company.
"don't worry I'm planning on do it so" he winked at her.
They were guided to the balcony where their parents and family were waiting for them they stood in the middle of them greeting the town that was celebrating too in front of the palace.
The crowd started to say "kiss, kiss, kiss" they smiled at them and there Derek put his hand in the back of her neck and the other one on her waist while she put hers in his chest and cheek looking straight in to his eyes. This time there were no nervousness the kiss was gentle, slow and deep and ended with some pecks from both of them and laughs he came closer he didn't know how to explain that need of being near her.
"I think we are done with formal and official kisses" Addison told him and Derek just shook his head amused
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The day had passed slowly for Addison she really hate this kind of reception where she needed to be introduced to everyone she rather be with the crowd they seem to be enjoying more her wedding than herself. Derek had been really nice with her he barely left her side they danced and eat and drink some but now she was with her friends while Derek was talking to a handsome guy she didn't know who was him until charlotte the person that knows everything about handsome guys told her. He was Mark Sloan and earl and knight and he was also Derek's best friend and had a Casanova reputation.
"man she is gorgeous! You were joking when you showed me that portrait"
"I swear I don't know what happened but mark she is amazing, funny, and gorgeous I'm in trouble…"
"no you don't. you are going to leave in two days and you'll be back four months later I think that enough time for Meredith to understand that you two are done for good, I mean look at your wife she deserve to be happy and if she found out…"
"I know and she is really good at it, apparently she always caught her father you know. I feel bad for Meredith she is amazing girl I want the best for her, but Addison just shake up my world mark and I'm so confused right know"
"don't think too much man, enjoy your wedding and let the time do the rest. Oh Meredith is coming"
"you lied to me" she mutter angrily
"no I didn't Meredith, that was the portrait that I received" he said trying to look cool in front everyone although he felt some eyes on him
"you are going to keep your promise right?" he gaped a little but no words came out
"Derek, please" she was pleading when Addison came near to Derek
"Derek can you do me a favor?" she said linking her arm with his leaving Meredith with mark, Meredith just felt like Addison slapped her and stole the man she loved as they disappear in to the hall.
"what do you need?" he asked gently
"in the program said we have to share some time with the sujets and I was thinking that we could go now" she looked at him hopeful
"you really are bored right?" she laughed and nodded
"I don't like this reception with this people judging me all the time, how I eat or dance or drink…" he understood very well
"alright I don't like this thing too much either" she jumped a little and hugged him "I'm sorry" she said taking a step back
"you don't have to be sorry for that you are my wife it's perfectly normal" she wrinkled her nose
"we just met each other"
"that's not true you send me a letter I think I know a little about you"
"huh but I don't know that much about you to be honest your letter sucked" he laughed hard
"I know and I'm sorry but I'm going to make it up." She lifted her eyebrow and tilted her head and bit her lower lip and Derek just could think… damn! She looked so cute when she did that and all his thoughts about Meredith just flied away
"really? And how are you going to do that" she asked while he was getting near
"oh you will found out on our honeymoon" she was taken aback by his words and he notice
"I wasn't implying that…" now she was a deep pink blush "you look so cute when you blush" he said touching her cheek then he kiss her deeply and a little hard taking her breath away
"wow" was the only word she could replied neither of them notice Meredith looking at them furiously
"I think I'm going to change the dress for something more comfortable"
"alright I'll be here waiting for you" as soon as she left Meredith came
"you promised Derek" the prince just sighed
"Meredith we need to be careful this is my wedding someone could see us" Derek looked around
"I don't care Derek, you said…you agreed!" he took Meredith from her arm and leaded her to the next door
"Meredith we are going to discuss this later, please not now it's not the right place and not the right time" with that he left her and went to Addison's room.
"Princess are you ready?" Addison was trying to close her dress. She turned around wide open
"i… I just" Derek went towards her
"I can help you" softly he helped her. He touched her soft skin and she felt Goosebumps. She turned around again now with Derek's face a millimeters of hers she run her tongue through her lower lip, the prince kissed her hard.
"I don't know why I can't resist the temptation to kiss you…" and kissed her again until charlotte came looking for her and interrupted the intense scene in front her eyes. She cleared her throat and they separate
"I'm sorry to interrupt but you have to go, the crowd is waiting for you"
"hmm yeah, yeah we were about to go" Addison stammered and charlotte smirked
"yes right, of course" Addison have her lips swollen just as Derek "go!" they left the room laughing
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
They spent most of the time dancing with the people and all of them like her immediately it was already night when they were dancing the "calata ala spagnola"
Derek was fascinated with her, they have been talking a lot and drinking and dancing and certainly this dance was a way to seduce someone but then everyone started to scream volta! Volta!. They made a circle around them. Addison was shock and didn't know what to do but Derek just shrugged and smiled at her.
The music began and they started to move; as they danced their eyes where into each other ones their bodies touched every now and then it was a very intense dance almost erotic but Derek was bewitched by her, in that moment Derek wanted to have her in his arms, he wanted to make her his. At the end everyone cheered up the young couple and they went back to the palace in between they kissed and laughed.
"you are the most beautiful creature that I've ever met" he told her between kisses
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Whey they arrived to the palace the reception was almost over and Derek and Addison couldn't be more grateful
"finally you come back" the queen Carolyn said to the newlyweds
"I'm sorry but the people didn't let us came before"
"it's ok. Did you enjoy it?"
"yes they are very nice people"
"that's good. Hmm Princess Addison it's time to get ready" the princess knew what she meant and sighed heavily and turn around to look at him"
"I'll see you in a while" he kissed her hand and let her go with the women but charlotte stood there beside him
"be gentle with her, and caring," Derek stared at the blonde
"of course I will"
"I just wanted to be sure, she is my friend and I want her to have a nice memory from this night not like mine"
The prince nodded he couldn't understand why men could be so stupid and animals towards women. "don't worry I won't treat her in a bad way or making her things she didn't want to" charlotte smiled at him and left the room. A little later his mother came
"Derek she is ready"
