"I can't believe you managed to make all these dresses in time." Luciana said as she smoothed down the skirt of her fuchsia and gold gown "Viveca, you are amazing."

"Oh I know." Viveca crossed her arms and gave an approving nod "As the Maid of Honor I had to make you look perfect. And you do.."

Corinne walked into the room dressed in her deep pink bridesmaids' gown and smiled "Everyone ready? Guests are starting to arrive."

"Tut, Corinne!" Viveca grabbed the blond's arm and yanked her into the room "I need to fix your hair!"

"Viveca, my hair is fine!"

"Don't argue!"

Corinne let out an exasperated sigh but sat down and let the brunette fix her hair. About ten minutes later, her hair was hanging in long ringlets down to her waist, the sides were pulled back and tied behind her head.

"Now you can go."

"Thank you." Corinne headed for the door "I'm going to go check on Ro while y'all finish up." then she headed down the hall.

Louis stepped out of a door nearby just then and smiled when he saw her "Wow. You look... amazing."

She bit her bottom lip as she felt the warmth start creeping into her cheeks "Thanks. Are you ready for the wedding?"

"As I'll ever be." She nodded and started to walk past but he grabbed her arm "Corinne... promise me you won't let anything happen to Ro."

She looked straight into his dark brown eyes "I promise. All four of us will be standing right there if anything happens. You just have to trust me."

"I do trust you." he responded "That's why I agreed for you and your friends to come is because I trust you. But... Antonio's worried. This isn't how someone is supposed to spend their wedding."

She turned to face him and smiled encouragingly "Louis. Nothing is going to happen to Ro. I promise." she closed her eyes and a long sigh escaped her lips "I don't know what they're planning for tonight. And I don't know what the outcome will be. But I do know that Ro will be protected... no matter what."

"Do you really think it'll go that far?" he whispered, his eyes searching her face.

"They're going to do whatever it takes to keep Ro and Antonio from getting married, and people like that... don't appreciate others getting in their way." when he started to speak, she put a hand against his chest and shook her head "I don't know what we're up against, Louis. Just know that... anything can happen." she started to step away from him, but he stopped her by gently grabbing her upper arms.

"Corinne..." he sucked in a deep breath and let it out quickly "Since we don't know what's going to happen or... who's going to walk away from this... there's something that I've been... wanting to say... for a long time now."

She stared up at him "Yes?"

"I..."

"Corinne! The wedding starts in ten minutes." Renee said as she hurried down the hall.

Corinne quickly stepped away from the young king and nodded "I'm heading to make sure Ro is ready."

"Good." Renee then motioned Louis away "Antonio is looking for you. Get going!"

He nodded and did as ordered. Right before he disappeared around a corner he turned and looked back at Corinne.

She sent him a small smiled then he was gone.

"What was all that about?" Renee asked slowly.

"Nothing." Corinne answered "Go make sure everyone else is ready. I'll meet you with the bride outside the room."

"On it." she turned to leave but stopped and looked back at the blond, concern written on her face "Are you sure about this?"

"Yes. Now let's go."

"Alright."

Antonio picked his crown up from it's pillow and placed it on it head then turned to face Louis "How do I look?"

"Like you're about to get married." Louis responded "It's time to go."

The prince nodded "Louis... I don't know what to... I'm worried. We should have canceled the wedding til those people were caught."

"I know how you feel, Antonio. But you're just going to have to trust the musketeers. They know what they're doing... I hope."

He sighed and rubbed his forehead "When I imagined my wedding, this wasn't how it went."

Louis patted his shoulder "I can promise you that Ro will be fine. Corinne will make sure of it... no matter what."

~*~*~*How to Save a Wedding*~*~*~

Corinne stepped into Ro's room and closed it behind her "Are you ready?"

Ro looked down at her long white ball gown and nodded "I guess so." she pushed her long bond curls over her shoulder "Corinne, are you sure about this?"

"Everything will be fine." Corinne smiled and picked up the veil from where it was laying over the back of a chair "Don't worry."

~*~*~*How to Save a Wedding*~*~*~

"Alright, time to go." Renee said to Antonio and Louis "Now listen carefully/ So you don't tip off the guests that there may be something wrong don't look around. Don't do anything. When Ro starts down the aisle, just watch her, nothing else. Okay?"

The two nodded "Alright."

"Good. Because complete shock will be the only thing that keeps the crowd from panicking and making the situation worse... if anything even happens."

Louis patted his cousin's shoulder and smiled "Let's get you married, my friend."

Antonio nodded and sucked in a deep breath "Let's go."

~*~*~*How to Save a Wedding*~*~*~

"This is so exciting!"Aramina gushed "I know, serious situation, but I'm still excited. It's a wedding!"

"Where is the bride?" Renee asked exasperated.

"Right here!" Ro called as she and Corinne ran up to them "Sorry."

"No worries. You're here now." Viveca readjusted the veil and smiled "Perfect."

Annette sighed "You look beautiful, Ro."

"Thank you."

Queen Melissa wiped a tear from her eyes "My baby is getting married." she walked over to the bride and hugged her "It seems like yesterday we were standing right outside... reunited after all those years. Your father would be so proud."

The four bridesmaids smiled at each other as the two hugged one last time.

"It's time." Renee said calmly, then she ushered the three princesses through the doors.

Luciana quickly gave everyone their fans then flipped her open "Don't forget to flutter!"

Then the wedding march started. Slowly the four bridesmaids walked down the aisle, fluttering their fans in front of their faces as Luciana had instructed.

Then came Luciana and Annette followed by the bride, who was being escorted by her mother.

Gasps filled the area at the sight of the stunning, sparkling gown.

Viveca had definitely outdone herself.

The long dress billowed from around her, sequins and jewels created small heart and diamond shaped patterns. The sleeves were puffed at the top, also sparkled. A golden tiara sat on top of her head, holding the veil that flowed like a water fall down her back with a couple more pieces hanging over her face.

Antonio kept his gaze trained on the bride, refusing to look around as Renee had instructed.

This wasn't how anyone planned on spending their wedding. Tense and wondering what was about to happen. This wasn't how you were supposed to spend your wedding.

Louis sent a reassuring smile at his cousin, but he couldn't help but feel the tension in the air.

The bridesmaids took their place right to the left of Antonio, and Ro reached out and took his elbow. Then the wedding started.

Throughout the ceremony, Antonio noticed that Ro kept glancing around and he couldn't blame her. There was no telling what might happen.

"Do you, Prince Antonio of Applonoia take Princess Rosella of Paladia to be your lawfully wedded wife..."

Antonio smiled as the man finished quoting the vow "I do."

Then the man did the same to Rosella "... As long as ye both shall live?"

Her gaze moved to the ground before she slowly began to answer but was cut off Z a hand suddenly grabbed her shoulder and a hard, pointed tip pressed into her back.

"Nobody move or she's done!" Annette snapped "This wedding is over!"
