A/N: Hi! So today is Finnick and Annie's wedding! You'll see what happens!
Chapter 11
Wearing a dress brings back memories, memories that I would not like to revisit. I wore a dress for the Reapings. I wore a dress for my interview before the Games. I wore a dress for both interviews after the Games. I wore a dress on the ride home to District 12. I wore a dress on the Victory Tour. I don't want to go back to the memories.
Staring at myself in the mirror, Peeta comes up behind me and wraps his arms around me. He whispers in my ear, "Katniss Everdeen, you look beautiful." I smile at this.
"And you, Peeta Mellark, look extremely handsome," I say. Peeta smiles.
"What about me?" Posy asks innocently.
"You, Posy Hawthorne, look adorable," Peeta says.
"Thank you," Posy says. "I can't wait for the wedding."
"I talked to Annie earlier and she's excited too," Peeta says.
"Will she wear a pretty dress?" Posy asks.
"I haven't seen it. Have you, Katniss?" Peeta asks.
"No. But we'll see it in a few minutes. Let's leave right now," I suggest.
"Yay!" Posy exclaims.
"You two go ahead. I'm going to check on Prim. She's watching Rory in the hospital again," I say.
"Okay," Peeta says and takes Posy's hand.
I walk down to the hospital and see Prim, sitting and watching Rory struggle against his restraints and yell horrible things about her. She's been crying; that much is obvious.
"Oh, hi, Katniss," Prim says, wiping away some of her tears.
"Hi, Little Duck. Are you going to the wedding tonight?" I ask.
"That's tonight? Oh, I think I'll just stay here," Prim says.
"Are you sure?" I ask.
"Yeah. Tell Finnick and Annie congratulations from me," Prim says.
"Okay," I say and slowly walk out.
I walk to the wedding. I go to Peeta and Posy. I sit down next to them and look at Annie. She's wearing the beautiful green dress that I wore on the Victory Tour in District 5. She looks better in it than I did. Finnick is wearing one of the same suits that Peeta wore on the Victory Tour. There's music, too. Children are singing and one man from 12 that still has his instrument plays the fiddle. The decorations are perfect, too. It's simple to the Capitol citizens, but it's perfect.
During the ceremony, Finnick and Annie have a woven net draped over the two of them. With salt water, they touch each other's lips. The children sing a traditional District 4 song, comparing marriage to a sea voyage.
After the ceremony, the man from District 12 plays a familiar song. Peeta picks me up and we begin to dance clumsily. I can't dance, and constantly mess him up. But we don't care. We just dance. Finnick and Annie don't know the song from District 12, but imitate the others dancing. Even Johanna dances, feeling bad for little Posy sitting there. Johanna takes Posy and dances. Posy knows the dance and has to teach Johanna.
When the music dies down, Peeta announces that he would like to say something. Johanna, Finnick, Annie, and Haymitch begin nudging each other and laughing. I'm confused, but Peeta comes up to me and gets down on one knee.
"Katniss Everdeen, I have loved you since I first laid eyes on you. Will you make me the happiest man on Earth and marry me?" Peeta asks.
The crowd gasps and I nod and manage to say, "Yes…yes!" I can't really speak. I'm too happy.
That night, we have a private toasting. People know what is happening, so when we leave our room after the toasting, Johanna tackles me to congratulate me.
A/N: Aww… They're married now. Review, follow, and favorite!
