Planning a mortal wedding is hard enough. Try planning a demigod wedding for the 2 most famous demigods in history where nearly all the gods wanted to attend. Because that was Percy and Annabeth had to do right now.
They were currently sitting in their living room, working on the seating chart, trying to keep warring parties separated. Some gods like Ares or Hercules would not be invited on pure principal. Percy hated both gods' butts. And some gods like Zeus and Hera had thankfully said they would not be attending (It had been 3 months and all the guests had already RSVP'd). That made some things easier.
It also helped that some gods like Poseidon and Athena would naturally be on opposite sides, since Poseidon was the father of the groom and Athena was the mother of the bride. It was difficult however, to place some guests, Hades for example had RSVP'd with Persephone (who had agreed to do the flowers and was technically the groom's aunt, but also the bride's) as going, but it was tough on where to place him, but eventually, Hades and Persephone were going to be on the Percy's side of the aisle.
It also wasn't just enemies they had to decide where to seat. Percy and Annabeth were having trouble deciding where to seat their demigod friends. It had helped that Grover was going to be Percy's best man, since otherwise it would've been impossible to seat him. Thalia was going to serve as Annabeth's maid of honor, which avoided another impossible choice.
After several hours, Percy and Annabeth had agreed on a seating chart. On Percy's side of the aisle would his mother, Paul, his father, Tyson, Triton, Kymopoleia (Percy didn't feel right excluding his sister from the festivities and was very surprised when the storm goddess said yes), Nico, Will, Reyna, Kratos (who was Reyna's plus one), Leo, Calypso, Frank, Hazel, Hades, Persephone, Dakota, Hermes, Travis, Connor, Hephaestus, Hestia, Gwen, Iris, Fleecy and surprisingly Artemis.
On Annabeth's side was her mother, her father, her stepmother, Bobby, Matthew, Malcolm, the rest of the Athena cabin, Jason, Piper, Coach Hedge, Mellie, Chuck, Katie, Miranda, Rachel, Chris, Clarisse, Nike, and a few other minor gods.
They had also decided that the wedding would take place in a normal church that would be "closed" that day and their honeymoon would be at the Montauk beach cabin.
Annabeth was out with Piper and Rachel, dress shopping.
"So, you looking forward to the big day?" Rachel asked as Annabeth tried on a wedding dress.
"Yeah, I mean, I always knew this day would come after Percy and I started dating, I just can't believe it'll be here in just a few months." Annabeth said.
"I know you asked Thalia to stand for you, but who did Percy ask to stand for him again?" Piper asked
"Grover Underwood." Annabeth said.
"Why Grover?" Piper asked
"He and Percy have been best friends since Percy was 12." Annabeth explained.
"Wow." Piper said as Annabeth walked out of the changing room.
"Do you think Percy will like it?" Annabeth asked
"I think you could get married in sweats and he'll like it." Piper said
"True." Annabeth agreed.
Rachel and Piper both laughed.
Annabeth and Percy were standing in the airport, waiting for the flight from San Francisco to land, since Annabeth's family was coming in town a few days early before the ceremony.
When the plane finally arrived at the gate, Annabeth smiled as she and Percy got up to meet her family.
"Annabeth." Mr. Chase said, hugging his daughter.
"Hey dad." Annabeth said.
"Percy." Mr. Chase then said, shaking his daughter's fiancée's hand.
"Mr. Chase." Percy said.
"I'm proud that in a few days I'll be able to call you family." Annabeth's father said.
"Looking forward to it." Percy agreed.
Annabeth resisted the urge to laugh and then asked "So where are you guys staying?"
"At a hotel not that far from the church." Her stepmom replied.
That night, the Jacksons and the Chases had dinner together at Percy's parents' place.
"It's great to finally get to meet you in person." Sally said to the Chases.
"You to." Frederick agreed.
