Chapter 10

Gretel smiled. She was feeling great. There was nothing that was going to turn out bad at such a day. Soon, someone knocked at the door. Gretel knew perfectly who it was. She opened the door. A crowd of cheering, squealing girls entered Gretel's house.

"Gretel! It's your day!" Sherry screamed.

Gretel hugged her. Every girl who was there hugged her too.

"How are you feeling?" Freya asked.

Gretel had invited her; since it was just because of her Ivan and her were together.

"I'm feeling on top of the world today!" Gretel exclaimed.

Every young girl in town was in Gretel's house. They were all good friends with Gretel. The other persons would meet them at the accorded place.

"Come on, Gretel. You don't want to be late to your own wedding." Sherry said. "You've already showered, haven't you?"

"If you can't see it, yes, I have." Gretel answered.

The girls gathered around her and started to help her with the wedding dress and everything.

Gretel looked at herself in the mirror. She was starting to look beautiful. Her dress was white, with a golden stroke. It was without sleeves, and it looked gorgeous on her. She had a veil, and her hair was down, as always, but with some flowers decorating it. She also wore golden shoes.

Antoinette, a girl with blue hair gave her the bouquet of flowers. Gretel smiled and thanked everybody again.

"Where's Ivan?" She asked impatiently.

"Don't you know the groom can't see the bride until the wedding?" Freya teased her.

"Yes, but still! I don't care!" Gretel said.

"He's in his house, but you'll see him later; okay?" Daisy told her.

Gretel nodded, and went with all the girls to the cars that were waiting for them.

They where going to go to a small church in a forest near Sephyr Town. It was all Sherry's idea. She wanted to organize Gretel's wedding, and Gretel had to admit, that everything turned out well. She organized the place, the decoration, the dresses, the guests, everything. She was going to be Gretel's 'maid' at the wedding. Dirk was going to be the best man of Ivan. Everything was going to turn out well.

Gretel had to admit that she had never been at the wedding place before, but she trusted Sherry. She had said she went there when she was small, with his father.

"Don't worry, Gretel! It's like a fairy tale place! I swear!" Sherry told her in the car, seeing Gretel's face.

"Okay." Gretel responded, looking at the scenery.

Soon, they where at the wedding place. The driver helped them out, and Gretel had to admit that Sherry was right. The place was beautiful. It was like a fairy tale. The forest's trees where tall, but still everything was bright. There where lots of flowers in the side of the path.

Sherry and Gretel walked to the church, which was pretty far away from the place the car left them. Gretel felt like the protagonist in the book, which carried her name as well. Hansel and Gretel, the kids that walked in a beautiful forest, all lost.

Sherry screamed.

"I can see the chapel! We're really near. There are many people waiting, you know?" She shouted.

They almost ran, but they couldn't. They had to walk to the church, but they arrived in no time. Many people where astonished with Gretel's looks. She smiled at them, and greeted them. She could see all the guests, but still looked for one in particular. She had invited her brother, so she hoped he was there.

A person greeted Gretel. He had brown hair, and blue eyes. He had the same face as Gretel. It was her brother.

"Oliver!" She screamed, hugging him. "You came!"

"Did you think I didn't get your invitation?" He asked.

Gretel nodded.

"Well, you were wrong, here I am! I want to know my brother-in-law soon." Oliver explained.

"I'm also looking for him." Gretel said.

Just as they where going to look for Ivan, the bells started to ring. Everyone went into the church and sat on the benches, besides Oliver and Gretel. They waited, until Felix said his words. From where they where standing Gretel could see Ivan.

He looked handsome. He was waiting in the altar. He wore a black suit, and a black hat. Behind him there was Dirk, in a similar suit, but in red. On the other side, Sherry was standing.

Oliver took his sister's hand, leading her to the altar. He then sat in the first row. Gretel continued on her own, looking at Ivan, who was blushing very much.

Gretel looked at the floor, blushing as well. She went to the altar, standing next to Ivan, gazing into his eyes.

"Are you going to take the promise of caring for each other, loving each other, until the death do your part?" Felix asked.

"Yes. I do." Ivan and Gretel said at the same time.

"Then, Ivan, you may kiss the bride." Felix said, obviously saying everything wrong, since he wasn't accustomed to those celebrations.

Ivan slowly kissed Gretel's lips, blushing. Both closed their eyes. Ivan gave Gretel her ring, so did Gretel.

Everyone applauded. Both smiled and went to the outside of the church, where the food was ready.

They ate the cake and ate lots of food. Sherry talked to everyone. Oliver went to where Ivan was sitting.

"You will have to take care of my sister, like I never did. Do you promise me that she will be your everything?" He asked to Ivan.

"Oliver, I promise you that she will be everything. She's my everything right now. I'm madly in love with her, do you understand? I will do my best to take care of her." He promised.

"I see. I'm happy she chose you and not someone else. It's a shame we can't see each other so much." He said.

"Yes. But, you don't have to worry, we'll visit you as soon as we can." Ivan affirmed.

After they had eaten, everyone danced. It was beautiful. Sherry staid by her friend's side until the end of the ceremony, not wanting to go to Lloyd.

"Gretel…will you be mad at me if I propose to Lloyd, privately, at your special day?" She asked.

"No. Don't worry…will you propose to him?" Gretel asked, astonished.

"Yes. I don't know why girls can't propose. But, it's your day. Not mine. I'll do it tomorrow, or the next week. Will you help me?" Sherry asked.

"Of course I'll help you. We'll organize your wedding together, too." Her friend affirmed.

"Thanks, Gretel. Now let's go home." She said.

Gretel went to Ivan's side. He carried her, bridal style to her home. Where the double bed was standing. They decided to live at Gretel's house. He still hadn't got his things in the house, but they would do that later, after their honeymoon finished.

They went to sleep, prepared for the next day, in which they where going to travel to a beautiful place.

"Good night, Gretel. My happiness." Ivan said.

She kissed him, and fell asleep.
