Chapter 6

Four months later, the preparations for the wedding were in full swing. Kate had never been so happy in her life.

As tradition stated, she and Rick were getting married on her eighteenth birthday in the castle's main hall. She had a beautiful dress and Rick had ordered new clothes for the occasion as well. Royalty from surrounding kingdoms were invited. Kate thought it would be awkward to have her former suitors at her wedding, but she decided she wouldn't worry about it. This day was about her and Rick.

Finally, her birthday and wedding day arrived. Kate dressed in her white, silk-and-lace dress. A lady's-maid braided her hair elaborately. Lastly, her veil and tiara were set on her head.

Kate fidgeted outside the door to the great hall, the place she and Rick had met. Such a long time ago it seemed! Her bouquet was clutched in her hand.

Her father placed her hand in the crook of his elbow and patted it reassuringly. Then he walked down the aisle to her new husband and her future.

"It's a love story

Baby, just say yes"
