A/N: Woohoo! Dimitri is coming back soon but you won't really see him this chapter, I'm tired of writing the story without him so I will just skip to the wedding. Read && Review.
-Previously-
"Which means… So is Dimitri."
No way. Someone is pulling a fast one on me. She's just kidding I'm sure. Yes, Dimitri is Tasha's guardian. And yes, a guardian's job is to guard their Moroi but those two pieces never clicked in my mind, well only when Dimitri was concerned. My perfect life just developed a seriously grey cloud above it.
-You are cordially invited to the wedding of Vasilisa Dragomir and Christian Ozera-
Here I am, standing at the back of the court's chapel with Jill and Mia in the prettiest dress I could imagine and the bride is late. Late! She has been on time her whole life and she decides to chose now to be late? Everyone is here, as I look at the pews I can see Alberta, Kirova and even Stan. Over to my right I see mum and dad, they're holding Selena during the ceremony because I'll be busy being the best maid of honor.
As I look further to the front of the church I can see the Queen bi – female dog – herself with her loyal followers. Being around Selena has gotten me into the habit of swearing less. I know she doesn't understand me but it's the point that matters; I don't want my daughter growing up with crude language all around her.
So the guests were waiting and a very nervous looking Sparking stood at the altar with Mason and behind him. Adrian was behind Mase, and holding Jake (He was the pageboy). I was at the back of the church with my fellow bridesmaids and Eddie; since she couldn't have her father give her away, she asked Eddie. A suitable choice.
I was really worried that I would see Tasha and Dimitri but their flight was cancelled so they can only make it to the reception. My plan is to simply ignore the both of them.
"Where is she? Everyone's waiting." Mia queried.
"Ohmygosh! I still can't believe she's getting married today. It seems like yesterday I met her. But she can't get married if she isn't here. I wonder why she isn't here. Maybe she has cold feet. You don't think she would stand Christian up though." Jill hasn't changed much.
"I have no idea but when I see her, I'm gonna –" I started to threaten when Lissa walked in through the back. She looked so beautiful and royal. Her blonde hair was in an intricate updo and her dress was dazzling.
"Where have you been?"
"I know, I know I just got a little sidetracked, I found an old friend and decided to bring him along." Only now did I see that Ambrose was following her.
"Okay well it's show time."
Ambrose walked to one of the pews and gave the thumbs up to the pianist who started playing 'Here comes the bride'. You could see the relief on Christian's face. Jill walked out first, followed by Mia a few seconds later.
"You ready?" I asked
"As I'll ever be."
She took a deep breath and Eddie reminded me that it was my turn to walk down the aisle. It was my turn to breathe, one step in front of another and I was walking. Rose Hathaway, the famous Stigori killer and known badass was now a vision of pink. Just keep smiling. I soon reached the altar and saw Christian smiling like an idiot, at first I thought he was laughing at my outfit but as I turned around I saw Lissa and she looked magical, so… royal.
Lissa reached the altar and Eddie symbolically placed her hand into Christian's. They smiled each other will love filled eyes, it would usually make me feel sick, but today it looked kind of cute. They said the standard vows, following the 'I do's' they shared a quick but passionate kiss that earned some wolf whistles from our friends.
Now it was their turn to walk down the aisle together, showered in white flower petals. Part one; complete. Now for the reception.
-You are welcomed to the wedding reception-
They decided to have the reception in one of the Court's grand halls so the guests didn't have to go far and they would be sure that they had enough room for everyone. The decorations were decent without being extravagant, formal yet comfortable. There was the bridal party table at one side of the room, with tables for the other hundred guests on the other side, a dance floor separated the two.
They went through the standard traditions; stuffing pieces of cake into each other's face, the removal of the garter and their first slow dance. We had the speeches which seemed to go on forever but the couple went along with it with good grace. I felt through the bond that Lissa was on cloud nine, she was absolutely overjoyed at the moment and I was genuinely happy for her.
It was around 9pm when the oldies went home and that's when the real party started. The DJ started playing some real songs and the band cranked it up. Liss had changed out of her princess dress and was now in a shorter, more dance appropriate dress. I was busting my moves with Mason when something caught my eye, well someone. Tasha was talking with a very familiar head of brown hair. That head turned around and… Damn it!
Hope you liked it. Dimitri is officially coming back. Make sure you review and tell me what you think.
