After me and Ben had got changed into our outfits that we had chosen for our engagement party we then stole a few more private moments in his bedroom before we went to meet the others. I was currently wearing a dark purple ballroom dress that was covered in diamond rhinestones on the corset that swept elegantly down the whole dress. I was wearing dark purple flats and my hair was platted and turned into a bun that was kept in place with the slide that Ben had given me for our first family day together. Ben was wearing his traditional dark blue suit; and he had his crown back on his head (that his father had returned back to him).

"Ready?" he asked me happily as he looked down at me lovingly as we walked happily down the corridor until we got to the top of the main staircase, but still hidden out of view.

"Ready" I confirmed and I watched as Ben nodded to a member of staff. A loud trumpet sounded and I heard everyone go quiet before the herald called:

"Presenting His Royal Highness, King Benjamin Florian Adams of Auradon and his consort Lady Maleficent Bertha Faery"

The rest of our evening was filled with a mixture of emotions; I got overwhelmed as I watched everyone greet me and Ben warmly as we entered our party. There was one point in my life where being even being in love was such a stupid thought; but right now I couldn't think of anything else that I would want. I loved Ben so much and I couldn't wait to be his wife and spend the rest of my life with him.

After greeting everyone we all then took to our seats and shared a three course meal; that consisted of three different French meals. For our starter we had soup that was made of onion and beef stock; it was served with croutons and melted cheese on top. For our main meal we had a meal called Boeuf Bourguignon, which is a beef stew braised in red wine and beef stock. It was garnished with pearl onions, mushrooms, bacon, mashed potato and carrots. Finally for our desert we had Charlotte, which is trifle that was served cold. Strawberries and breadcrumbs were on top of the white icing and the perfectly backed crust was heavenly.

When it came to making our announcement I couldn't help but get overwhelmed at the very warm response from everyone when they finally knew when we were getting married. Evie stated that she could finally start planning and making my wedding dress; however I think this was just for show as the press were here as I knew that she had already been making sketches that she wanted to surprise me with.

Adam and Belle teased me stating that they couldn't wait for me to be part of the family; and Ben then urged I was part of their family the second he laid eyes on me. This earned him an 'awww' from the crowd as I cuddled into him lovingly.

Carlos and Jay both teased me saying that I was growing up; I just pulled them both into a hug as I felt my cheeks flush with embarrassment. Yes I knew that they were teasing me; but the fact that we were at this point of the evening everything was starting to feel more real – and this caught me off guard.

Chad and Az both congratulated us and both took to also teasing their best friend. Az told Ben that he was a very lucky man; and he didn't know what Ben did to deserve me. Ben then threw Az a look before Chad hugged me and said that if I ever changed my mind about Ben I knew where he was. Before I could answer him; Ben quickly jabbed Chad in the ribs. After Chad yelped in pain; I watched as they both shared a glance before Chad quickly apologised to me. I had no idea what on Auradon had just happened – but I made a mental note to question Ben about it later.

I started to feel guilty at the fact that we were in fact hiding our wedding day away from the kingdom but I then pushed the guilt away – me and Ben have done so much for the kingdom over the time we had been together. The kingdom owed us this much!

I then let Ben lead me to the dancefloor and we shared our first dance as a newly engaged couple; and as I stared into his eyes I promised myself something. Me and Ben were never going to go through this ever again – we both would make sure of it!
