Princess Candy
Chapter 10
"A fairytale wedding"
Candy's parents arrived at the mansion. They had a little dinner party at some friends. They got in and they found Candy and Terry talking very closely.
- Princess? Said her mother, we've got a visitor?
Candy and Terry looked at them. Candy stood up and Terry too, they both approached her parents.
- Mum, dad… This is Terrence Grandchester…
- Please to meet you, said her mother
- Madam, said Terry kissing her hand
- The captain of the football team? Said her father, shaking his hand
- Yes, daddy…, said Candy
- He's the reason for your gloomy mood lately? Said her mother
- It was a misunderstanding, said Candy
- I bet she didn't tell you she was a reporter, said her father to Terry
- Yes, that's it…, said Terry smiling
- Princess! Said her mother, haven't we taught you to always tell the truth?
- Mum…! Said Candy
- You should've listened to your parents, said Terry smiling
- Did she tell you she made out with David Beckham? Said her father
- Dad!
- Yes, she did, said Terry smiling
- Princess, said her mother, what's that on your finger? Is that an engagement ring? Terrence proposed to you?
- Yes mother, said Candy showing her the ring…
- Oh my God! It looks like Princess Diana's ring, only it's an emerald instead of a sapphire…to match your eyes…!
- Yes, said Terry
- Congratulations! Said Candy's mother hugging her and Terry
- You're a very considerate young man, said Candy's father, and you want to marry my daughter?
- I would like to talk to you sir, if it's not too late, of course, said Terry
- Of course…, said Candy's father
Her father wanted to speak to Terry before congratulating them. He was surprised and a little upset. Candy hadn't told him about Terry, or even mentioned she knew him! She turned down all the suitors he brought for her. Terrence Grandchester had a lot of money; he had millions and winning the World Cup had just made him richer, plus he had endorsements from big companies. Candy was going to be fine with him. He sat with Terry on the couch of his favourite Louis XIV style living room.
- Sir I would like to apologise for the way things happened, said Terry
- Princess didn't tell us about you…, said Mr. White
- We had broken up. She probably didn't want you to worry about her, until she had talked to me…and patch things up. So I know I'm doing things backwards here, but I would like to request your blessing for our wedding
Mr. White looked at him. He was well dressed, very polite and he had gotten England the World Cup for the first time in the 21st century. He was one his favourite football player and he had a good feeling about him. He knew that he was a fine young man, but to see it in person, impressed him.
- You have my blessing in marrying my daughter, said Mr. White, make her happy or you'll have to answer to me…
- All right
- I named her "Princess", because she was my little princess. I raised her like a princess. She had everything she ever wanted, but she never became selfish, she became generous to my big surprise. She gives her money to charity…she drives me crazy sometimes with her humanitarian missions. She's got a heart of gold. I love my Princess. So treat her like one…
- I will sir, don't you worry about that. I love her with all my heart
- You're not quite what I had in mind for her. I wanted her to marry a man with financial security, with money… you seem to have a lot of money… and you love her; I can see it in your eyes…I want a big wedding, a princess' wedding…
- That shouldn't be a problem, said Terry smiling
Terry smiled and they shook hands.
- Welcome to the family, Terrence, said Mr. White, we're going to have an engagement party for my Princess
- Thank you sir, said Terry smiling
They joined the two ladies who were waiting. Mr. White approached his daughter.
- Congratulations, Princess!
- Thank you daddy! Said Candy hugging him
- We need to have an engagement party! Said her mother
- You're mother is glad to have a good reason to have a party…, said Mr. White
- Come on, said the mother, don't tell me it's not the first thing that crossed your mind!
They all burst out laughing.
- We're going to go to bed, said Mrs. White, Princess, don't forget to turn the lights off when you get back…
- When I get back? Said Candy surprised
- Don't tell me you don't want to be with your fiancé somewhere where no one is going to interrupt you?
Candy blushed.
- Mum!
- Don't give her any ideas! Said her father
- Like she needs me to…, said the mother
- Good night Princess, said her father, goodbye Terrence
- Bye baby, said the mother, bye Terrence…
- Good night, Mr and Mrs White…, said Terry
The parents left to go to bed. Candy and Terry looked at each other.
- That was embarrassing! Said Candy
- Princess, said Terry, you are so cute! You want to come for a ride with me? I wanted to show you my mansion…which is going to be ours very soon…
She smiled.
- All right! That's what my parents are expecting. We might as well prove them right! Said Candy
- You do know they're thinking we're going to get horizontal?
- What? My parents are perverts? She joked
They burst out laughing. They drove to Terry's mansion which looked more like a castle than a mansion. The security was also tight, with the reporters stalking him and the fans. Terry introduced Candy to his security crew so they could let her in if she comes to see him. They got in the mansion. It was huge.
- You want the landlord tour? He asked…
- At this hour? It's dark outside and everything looks so much better in daylight…but I would like to see the master bedroom…, said Candy
- The master bedroom it is! He said smiling
They walked to the big staircase and they went upstairs. They arrived in the master bedroom which was a few doors down in a very long hallway. The room was very big. There was an entertainment centre with a big screen television with a VCR and a DVD player-recorder. There was a shelve with lots of movies, and some trophies on another one. The bedroom furniture was beautiful and the king size bed was huge with satin sheets under a luxury quilted bedspread. He didn't have any closets; he had another room which served as his closet. His clothes were there, his jerseys, his shoes…there was another door leading to the bathroom.
- I love your bedroom, said Candy smiling
He approached her.
- Really Princess? Because this is where we're going to live when we get married…
- I have no objections to that there's enough room for my clothes I hope… I have one question…
- Did I sleep with the "Marshmallow" here? Said Terry
- Did you?
- No. I have an apartment...This is my sanctuary… I never bring women here. This is the place I reserve for me and my future family. I wouldn't want it to be soil by my past flings…You're the first woman I bring here…
- Really?
- Yes. You're my Princess, my love, my counterpoint, my one true love
- True love… "True love is your soul's recognition of its counterpoint in another…", she said softly
He leaned and kissed her passionately for a while. Then stopped and looked at each other.
- I didn't congratulate you for your win, captain. Two goals! You got England the World Cup…
- I couldn't have done it without you, without your words, your presence…It's your cup too…you bring out the best in me…you're my soul mate and together, we can do anything. Thank you
- I think that deserves a celebration…
He kissed her again and took her to bed, where they consummate their love…She had her head on his chest.
- Honey, we're going to be married and you never talk about your family
- Yeah…My family and I don't get along…I envy your family
- You have a family too, honey. Do you have brothers and sisters?
- Yes..., but…My father didn't stay with my mother. I had the stepmummy from hell…I was in boarding school too… the same as yours as a matter of fact…
- Really?
- Yes… I was discovered for my football talent and I just left everything related to my family. I finished school and continued my career…My father was angry because I did everything without consulting him. Maybe I should've, but him letting my stepmonster treat me so badly…I just saw an opportunity to leave everything and I just took it! I got the millions. I've invested, I've got a few companies making money for me…so, if something happens today and stops me from playing football, I'm secured for life.
- Did you ever try to reconcile with your family?
- Not really… I see them at my games… but that's it…They were there in Germany, in the back burner
- Terry…We're going to be married and have a family. The children are going to ask about your side of the family…
- You're asking me to make up with them?
- Yes. They're your family…what about your mother?
- She had tried to contact me numerous time…But I…she left me in the house of hell!
- You should talk to her and sort things out…
- How come anything I hear coming out of your mouth sounds so easy?
- That's because you and I are one…and I'm saying what's really in your heart…
- I love you so much, you know that?
- I know that, she said, because I love you so much too!
They burst out laughing.
- So I might have met you at Saint Paul if you hadn't been discovered? Said Candy
- Yes! I would've been on you like white on rice! Because from the second I saw you, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you…
- You were a teen, maybe you would've made fun of me, my name
- Your freckles…maybe… but I can assure you that you would've been my girlfriend!
- You're so sure of yourself! She said laughing!
- I have to be…or I wouldn't be where I am now…
- From the moment I saw you, my heart danced… it would've danced then too, I'm sure of it!
- We would've been high school sweethearts… and Beckham wouldn't have taken you to the prom…
- You wish you could undo that, don't you?
- I wish I could… but on the other hand, it's a nice memory for you…Do you think if you had kept contact you could've been in Victoria's place?
- Marry David? No… because as infatuated as I was to be with him at the dance, my heart didn't dance…it was always you and only you…we missed each other at Saint Paul, but we finally found each other…
- Yes, we did!
They kissed again and then he drove her back home. He kissed her in front of the mansion door.
- Think about what I said about your family, ok honey? Said Candy
- All right, I will, said Terry
- Good night. I love you…
- I love you. Sweet dreams…
She took a paper in her purse and wrote down her phone number.
- This is my direct line to my room and this is my mobile phone, the number is different than the GSM I used in Germany
- All right, I'll give you mine when I call you
- All right, bye honey…
She kissed him again. She finally got in 30 minutes later! She was walking on clouds! Her mobile phone rang, it was Terry.
- Already?
- I miss you…
- I miss you too…it's not too dangerous?
- I've got you on speaker phone in the car don't worry…
- I wouldn't want my love to die in an accident because he was talking to me on his mobile phone…
- I love that you worry about me…
- I have to worry about you, you're my other half…
She got to her bedroom. She talked to him on speaker phone, then she took a shower quickly while he was parking his car and getting inside his mansion and then they talked until they fell asleep…
The next day, Terry called his family and set up a meeting with them. He called his mother too, who was there an hour later to have breakfast with him. He forgave her, he forgave his family whom he met for dinner and they were all taking baby steps… Terry was happy he had listened to Candy. He introduced her to his mother and to the rest of their family.
oOoOoOoOoOo
Terry took Candy to Buckingham Palace for the Queen's reception. The Queen had given the team a sizeable bonus for winning the World Cup.
The whole team was glad to see Candy. They were all kissing her and hugging her. Their wives and girlfriends were a little jealous. Candy saw Beckham and she hugged him.
- Princess, he said, how have you been?
- Fine, she said, Victoria…
- Princess…, said Victoria
- Thank you for talking to Terry, said Candy
- You're welcome. I apologise for everything.
- I apologise for being rude to you…
- Be nice to me in your articles...
- I will…, said Candy smiling
Terry approached them and held her by the waist.
- Beckham, Victoria, said Terry
- Grandchester, you came to your senses…, said David
- Hi Terry, said Victoria
- Princess, said David, what's that on your finger?
Candy smiled and showed her hand.
- Terry proposed! Said Candy
- Oh my God! Said Victoria, it looks like Princess Diana's engagement ring!
- Yes, said Terry kissing Candy on the cheek, a princess' ring for my Princess
- Congratulations, said David hugging her
His wife hugged her too, she also hugged Terry. David shook Terry's hand. The other saw that and they all came to hug, kiss, shake hands and congratulate them.
The press was there and they took a lot of pictures. The engagement became front news of all the tabloids and the news on television.
"FOOTBALL KING, TERRENCE GRANDCHESTER TO MARRY PRINCESS… HE GAVE HER PRINCESS DIANA'S RING!"
Candy was with her family in the morning during breakfast when they saw the paper.
- Those headlines are so ridiculous! Said Candy, they take everything out of context… Now I'm a princess? That's too funny!
- Well you are! Said her father laughing
- Thanks for the name daddy! Do you know how much I got teased in school "Hey princess, where's your crown?"…
- They were just jealous because you had the most beautiful name ever.
- Of course, said Candy laughing
- The engagement party is tonight said her mother, is it ok for Terrence?
- Yes mum, said Candy, he's going to be there
- Good, said her mother, I want my friends to see him…
- You mean they're his fans and they want his autographs and pictures?
- He is gorgeous, said her mother smiling
- I'm sure Terrence is going to be glad to make your friends happy, said Candy.
The engagement party was fine. Candy's friends came with their American boyfriends. Anthony was there too. All of Candy's mother's friends came and they were infatuated with Terry. They were even flirting with him in front of Candy! At one point Candy had had enough.
- Honey? She said, I need some air, you want to come to the garden with me
- Of course Princess, he said smiling
They went outside and they sat on some chairs in the patio.
- You're not jealous of these women are you?
- Of course not! But could they be more obvious? They're not even afraid of me!
- They probably think you won't take them seriously…and they expect me to take them seriously
- By the way, what's going to happen to that apartment?
- It's mine…
- You could put it up for rental…
- Yes, I'm going to do that…no, I'm going to sell it…
- You don't have to…but then again, you were there with the Marshmallow… ok, sell it!
- Your wish…my command! Said Terry smiling
They kissed for a while and they went back to the party. Terry had invited his family too. They were happy he included them. Terry's mother took Candy aside, she was with his father.
- You did this, didn't you? She said
- Did what?
- Convinced Terry to make up with us…
- Oh…well I just wanted him to have a relationship with his family… we're going to have children one day and they're going to ask about you…
- You're a good girl, said Terry's mother; I thought you were a spoiled brat!
- Mum! Said Terry who had just arrived, could you be more subtle?
- Don't blame her, with a pompous given name like "Princess", who can blame her? Said Candy smiling
- I like your sense of humour, said Terry's father smiling, my son is very lucky. Thank you for convincing him to reconcile with us
- You're very welcome, said Candy smiling
Terry's mother hugged her.
- You gave me my baby back, thank you so much! She said moved to tears
Terry's stepmummy from hell refused to come. He didn't mind, as long as he mum and dad were there. His brothers and sister were also there, happy to have their big brother back! They had missed him and he was now a celebrity! They were very proud of him. Their names were Rick, Rachel and Brandon.
- Thank you for coming, said Terry
- Thank you for inviting us, said Rick
- Yes, Terry, I missed you so much. How could you abandon me too? I was your favourite, your best friend, said Rachel
- I know, said Terry, I'm sorry little sister, I'll make it up to you…Candy wants you as one of her bridesmaid…
- Really? She said with shiny eyes, I would love to!
- Thank you, said Candy smiling
- You're very nice, said Brandon, thank you for doing this...
- We're family, said Candy
- That we are!
Brandon was 17, he looked like Terry and he had his eye on Queenie. Terry saw his look.
- That's my future sister in law, don't hurt her…, said Terry
- I won't… I think she's hot! Said Brandon
- Go talk to her, said Candy
- You're lucky you look like me, said Terry, she used to have a crush on me …
- Gee… Thanks big bro, that makes me feel so much better, said Brandon ironically
They others laughed. Brandon walked to Queenie to try to ask her out. The engagement, the family reunion was a very big success. Candy and Terry were happy. Queenie had a date with Brandon and all the parents were satisfied with the evening.
oOoOoOoOoOo
The wedding preparations were going well. Candy couldn't believe she was planning her wedding! Two months ago, she had no love life and now she had the love of her life! Her friends were going to be her bridesmaids with Queenie and Rachel, Terry's sister!
Annie and Patty came to see Candy all excited; this last one was with Rachel.
- Wow, said Annie, Princess Diana's ring!
- Well let's hope you're luckier than she was…, said Patty
- Patty the party pooper! Said Annie, Princess Di was unhappy because the Prince of Wales was infatuated with another woman… Terry, Princess Candy's prince is infatuated by Candy… so…
- I'm sorry Candy, said Patty
- That's ok Patty, you didn't say anything I didn't think in my head…, said Candy, but Terry and I love each other… Ok come on girls, let's go shop for my wedding dress!
- And our bridesmaid dresses!
- Where is Queenie? Said Candy
- Come on, she's going to wear any dress we choose, said Patty, let her be
- All right! Said Candy, let's go then. QUEENIE WE'RE LEAVING!
- YOU CAN GO WITHOUT ME! I'LL BE FINE WITH ANYTHING! Said Queenie from afar
- Told you! Said Patty
They burst out laughing and they left to shop for dresses. They were choosing the wedding dress. Candy chose a sleeveless one in satin. She was going to wear a tiara with her veil. The bride's maid dresses were going to be light green, like the emerald on her engagement ring. They had fun choosing and money wasn't a problem. Candy's mother joined them later and she had managed to drag Queenie with her…who was of course sulking! But she cheered up, after all Candy was marrying her favourite star and the cameras were going to be on them and on her, so she wanted to look her best!
The Americans were still in London, enjoying life and running the British branch of the family business. Annie and Patty were enjoying their company still. They were having dinner at Candy's. Terry had a show to tape, so he was going to be there later. Anthony was alone with Candy at one point in one of the living rooms.
- Candy, are you really happy? He asked
- Yes Anthony, I'm so happy…
- I hope he treats you well…
- He will. Don't worry about me, Terry is my soul mate, if I'm not sure of anything else, I'm sure of that!
Anthony was a little sad.
- Then I'm happy for you, he finally said
- Are you sure? She said
- Yes… I'm in love with you Candy, that's no secret. But I also want you to be happy and if Terry makes you happy, so be it!
- I'm sorry Anthony said Candy hugging him
Anthony hugged her back hard, he was moved. They heard someone clearing his throat. They let go of each other and they turned around.
- Terry! Said Candy smiling
- Am I interrupting something? Said Terry
- No, said Anthony, congratulations Terry, take good care of her.
- I will…said Terry looking at Candy
Anthony looked at them, their chemistry was so strong. He left the room.
- I'm sorry, said Candy
- What for? Asked Terry
- Well you came in and found me in another man's arms…
Terry had a little laugh.
- Do you know how much I love you? And you say things like this that make me love you even more!
- I just want to be truthful…
- You're still regretting not telling me the truth about your work and about Beckham? It's ok, honey I understand…we had just met…now we know each other and we won't hide anything from each other ok?
- Ok, said Candy smiling
- I've got something for you he said
- What?
- A gift…
He went to get a box he had left on the coffee table when he came in. He gave the box to Candy.
- Can I open it? Said Candy
- Of course, it's for you and for the wedding
- For the wedding?
- Yes, open it…
Candy opened the box and she saw a tiara. She was astonished.
- I hope you haven't bought yours yet, said Terry
- No I haven't… I was going to look for it tomorrow… Oh my God! Is it real?
- Would I give a Princess a fake tiara? Said Terry
- Oh Terry! Said Candy hugging him, oh my God! That must've cost a fortune!
- I can afford it, he said, it's custom made especially for you…
- Thank you…I love you…
- You didn't finish looking in the box, said Terry
- There's more?
- Yes…
Candy took the box and looked inside. There was a velvet box with their wedding bands. Hers was in diamonds and emeralds, like the engagement ring, like the tiara. There was another bigger box, with a diamond and emerald necklace and matching earrings.
- Oh God! Said Candy, you were actually listening when I told you that green was the theme of the wedding…
- I remember everything you tell me Freckles, he said smiling
- You're perfect! Said Candy kissing him on the lips
They were kissing passionately for a long while.
- Princess…we have to stop, he said
- What…? she said smiling and kissing him
- This…
- You're not used to just first base anymore, are you? I've spoiled you!
- And we're in your parents' house…
- I know, but I can't help it! Said Candy smiling
The others arrived and they had to stop.
- You two should get a room! Said Queenie laughing
- Queenie! Said Candy
They all burst out laughing. Candy and Terry chose their wedding song. Everybody was having fun and talked about funny stuff that happened at other weddings they've been to.
Candy and Terry aside from the night of their reunion didn't make love anymore. Candy decided to wait until after the wedding.
- It's ridiculous, said Terry
- I know…but just do it for me? With the wedding preparations, I just don't want to hide that you and I sneak out to make love…
- You do know that everybody knows you're not a virgin anymore…?
- Yes… but…
- I understand what you mean. All right, sweetie…
- Thank you, captain! Said Candy smiling and hugging him
- Anything for my Princess…
oOoOoOoOoOo
The night before her wedding it was a bachelorette party for the girls at the mansion with her friends and a bachelor party for Terry given by his team mates. After all the fun Candy went to bed with her bridesmaids who were spending the night. Candy was singing;
I'm getting married in the morning! Her friends burst out laughing and they sang with her. She's getting married in the morning!
Ding dong!
The bells are gonna chime.
Pull out the stopper!
Let's have a whopper!
But get me to the church on time!
Ding dong!
The bells are gonna chime.
Pull out the stopper!
Let's have a whopper!
But get her to the church on time!
They went to bed very late and they woke up very early in the morning. To get Candy's hair done and her make up. She put on her dress and her jewels and the tiara on her up do, which was done so the tiara would fit.
- That's a real tiara said the hairdresser, oh my God! You're so lucky
- She's a Princess, said her mother and her future husband knows it…
- Thank you mum…
- You already have something new, said her mother, the tiara, the jewels, you need something old. Here is a cameo my mother gave me…
- It's beautiful said Candy hugging her mother
- Something borrowed said Queenie, you can borrow my handkerchief embroidered in gold with my initials
- Thanks Queenie
- And finally something blue, said Patty, I know green is your theme, but the garter has to be blue… but
Patty showed the garter which had a little green in it too. Candy smiled and lifted her skirt to put the garter on…
- You chose one with some green, said the bride laughing! You're the best!
There was a knock on the door. Mr. White was ready to take his Princess to church. He looked very handsome in his tuxedo.
- Where is my Princess? He said
He looked at Candy.
- You look so beautiful, he said smiling
- Thank you, daddy, said Candy, my God , that's all I've been saying!
- And that's what you're going to say to every guest today, said her mother, let's go…
Candy walked with her father downstairs and she went outside. She was expecting a Rolls Royce, but it was a carriage with white horses.
- A carriage? Like in fairy tales? How lovely! Said Candy
- You are a Princess, said her father
They got in the carriage and they went to church. There were photographers hired by Candy and Terry for the official wedding pictures, but there were also the paparazzis' photographers!
Candy was in the carriage with her father.
- Daddy, everything happened so fast…
- You love him, said her father, because I've never seen someone so stubborn… you wouldn't even give my suitors a chance until you found the one who would make your heart dance…
- Yes… and it was Terry
- So, now or later… now is good. You have to live the present moment. You love each other and you want to be together…
- I'm not having any doubts… except… that maybe I'm going to wake up and realise that this was all just a beautiful dream!
They burst out laughing. They arrived at the church, everybody was there. Candy got out and she walked down the isle with her father. Terry was waiting for her at the other end. The bridesmaids, the flower girls, the ring bearer were all in front of her. The "Canon" by Pachelbel was playing at first, but the wedding march by Mendelssohn started when Candy arrived with her father. Her veil was in front of her face. The ceremony started.
- From the moment I saw you from across the room, I couldn't take my eyes off of you. My heart was burning and I felt like I was floating in the air. I knew I was goner, with just one look, I fell in love with you. I need you in my life, I need you to breathe, I need you to be alive. You're my Princess and I'm your prince. I will love you longer than the sun warms the earth; longer than a loving touch will linger, longer than the trees will sway in the breeze; I promise as I place this ring on your finger, that I will you forever.
The emotions were high. Candy was crying and Terry was very moved… Candy gave her reply with tears coming down her cheeks.
- All my life I've been waiting for my prince. I knew I would recognise him from the moment I see him. I saw your eyes from across the room and my heart started dancing making my head spin. From that moment I was hooked, I was in love with you. I never thought I would love someone so strong. My heart dances every time I see you and it dances every time I think about you. You're my soul mate, my other half. You're my prince and I'm your Princess. I will love you longer than the seasons will change; longer than the stars shine their lights; longer than the moon keeps changing size;and longer than the days keep flowing into nights, I promise as I place this ring on your finger, that I will love you forever.
The assembly was moved. The women were crying. When the wedding was over Terry kissed his bride passionately. After the ceremony they took pictures after pictures… in the carriage, Candy was exhausted. He took her in his arms. She closed her eyes.
- I'm so tired! Said Candy
- We still have the reception…
- I know. I barely slept last night, I woke up at dawn…I just want to sleep…
- Well, I hope you don't sleep too fast tonight, said Terry
- I won't, I promise you, she said smiling, by the way thanks for the carriage. That was a nice surprise and you gave me a fairytale wedding…
- You're my Princess you deserved a princess' wedding. With the carriage, we have time to get to the reception. You can have a nap…
- Ok…
They fell asleep in the carriage holding each other as it took slowly them to the hotel where the reception was going to take place.
They arrived at the reception. The photographers were waiting for them of course. And the reporters were there asking questions.
- Those reporters! Said Terry when they got inside
- Hey! You're married to one now…, said Candy
- Sorry honey… but you're not like them, desperate for a story…
- Well it's always good to have a good story. With my father's connections, I was able to get interviews the fun way…they'd asked me for one! Or I will simply charm them with my name and my green eyes…
- What? Said Terry
- Well it worked with David…, she said smiling
He looked at her and he saw that she was joking! And they burst out laughing. There were lots of guests. Candy was tired of kissing people who would congratulate her, and shaking hands, give her presents…
- Honey, she whispered, you think we can sneak out of here?
- It's just for one day, said Terry, hang in there…
- All right…Just for one day… to have you as a prize at the end, it's worth it.
When the time came for the bride and groom to open the dance floor they song they had chosen was playing; it was "When I said I do" by Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black. Terry held his Princess closer to him and they were looking at each other with so much love.
These times are troubled and these times are good When I said I do, I meant that I will 'til the end of all time Well this old world keeps changin', and the world stays the same When I said I do, I meant that I will 'til the end of all time Truer than true, you know that I'll always be there for you
And they're always gonna be, they rise and they fall
We take 'em all the way that we should
Together you and me forsaking them all
Deep in the night and by the light of day
It always looks the same, true love always does
And here by your side, or a million miles away
Nothin's ever gonna change the way that I feel,
The way it is, is the way that it was
Be faithful and true, devoted to you
That's what I had in mind when I said I do
For all who came before, and it goes hand and hand
Only you and I can undo all that we became
That makes us so much more, than a woman and a man
And after everything that comes and goes around
Has only passed us by, here alone in our dreams
I know there's a lonely heart in every lost and found
But forever you and I will be the ones
Who found out what forever means
Be faithful and true, devoted to you
That's what I had in mind when I said I do
That's what I had in mind, that's what I had in mind,
When I said I do
Candy and Terry were kissing when the song ended. Candy danced with her father, her father in law, brothers in law, with Anthony who thought Rachel was cute. Queenie and Brandon were inseparable. Annie and Patty were dancing with Archie and Alistair. Terry's stepmummy came to the wedding, with his father. Terry's mother was there too. The whole football team was there. Coach Marlowe was also there, without his daughter, who wouldn't be caught dead at Terry's wedding. The tabloids practically called her a liar for telling them that Terry was her boyfriend. Candy didn't write much on here, but when she did, she made fun of her like crazy. Beckham dances with Candy too.
- You know sometime I said to myself, that I should've stayed in contact with you, I would've married you for sure! Said David
Candy didn't want to tell him that her heart hadn't danced for him… so she said:
- Well, things are what they are… you love your wife, I love my husband with all my heart…
- He's very lucky, said David
- I'm lucky to have him…, said Candy smiling
When the time came for the bride and groom to leave, Candy threw her bouquet and Annie caught it! Terry took the garter with his teeth from Candy's leg and threw it, Alistair caught! Candy went to change and she left with Terry for their honeymoon. They went to the Bahamas for their honeymoon. The wedding night was a bliss, since they were practicing abstinence until after the ceremony.
They came back to London to live their perfect life together. She wrote articles on her husband, on Beckham and the other players. She wrote a book about her trip to Germany for the World Cup, which also was a date with destiny. She continued her charity work too, her husband was supporting her and donating big cheques.
She had a little boy and a little girl and their father was playing football with them. She was expecting a third one. Her life with Terry was wonderful. All her life she had been waiting for the perfect man and keeping herself for him. Even though a part of her didn't really believe in fairytales, another part did and it got its wishes. Some people spend their whole life with the wrong person. Some people spend their whole life searching for the right person and they end up alone. Some people find the right person right away and they live happily ever after. Most princesses because they have everything handed to them ever since they were born, sometimes turn out to be selfish and too proud. This Princess was one with a heart of gold, who helped others, who thought of others before thinking about herself. Who turned things around when kids were making fun of her name…Who didn't rush into any relationships just for the heck of it. She was waiting for her prince and she found him. It all started with a football…
Some day, my prince will come
Some day he will tell me
Those magic words of love
So troubling and so tender
That I want so much to hear
Let him come, I'm waiting for him
A little frightened and my heart is pounding
Then in his arms, my beautiful enchanted dream
Will become reality
THE END
