Author's Note: WAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!! It's the last part of Darkness. I'm probably going to write yet ANOTHER book in the series, but I NEED REVIEWS!!! Tell me whether I should write a new book in this series or whether I should write a new story entirely.

Oh, and I decided that they got a slightly different set of vows, considering that I couldn't remember the traditional ones.

Welcome to My Side of the River

Sonya

Alexa's POV

I gazed at myself in the mirror, slightly shocked.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Nudge had totally transformed me.

The dress was beautiful, a halter top with a poufy bottom. It was white, of course, and slightly embellished with rhinestones. Nudge had pulled my hair back into a simple bun on the back of my neck. All together, I looked beautiful.

Today was my wedding day.

Max appeared. "It's time." She announced. The butterflies in my stomach increased greatly.

Just as Jeb got ready to walk me down the aisle, my father's ghost appeared. "This is my job." He told a slightly shell-shocked Jeb. I guess non-experiments can see ghosts after all.

The wedding march began to play, and the doors to the church opened.

My father began to walk me down the aisle. All of the snobby aristocrats there had wide eyes as they realized that the man who was next to me was a ghost. I guess they were expecting me to be a normal, but stupid, girl. Obviously, power wasn't a substitute for common sense. I am an Itex experiment, after all.

I gazed at Iggy. He looked absolutely stunning in a classic black tuxedo. And, judging by the way his eyes widened when he saw me, he thought I looked good too.

We reached the end of the aisle. My father placed my hand in Iggy's, then went to sit down next to the ghost of my mother.

We had written our own vows. We aren't your average couple, so why should we settle for average vows.

Iggy was first. "Alexa Night, I have always loved you. Ever since I first met you, when you were just six, I've loved you. I thought that you could never accept someone like me, and could never love me. But, over time, I realized that you weren't average either. Even if you weren't an experiment, you wouldn't be average. I pledge myself to you, and will remain faithful as your husband, until death parts us." He slid the simple gold band onto my finger as tears came to my eyes, tears of joy.

Now it was my turn. "Iggy Batchelder, I have always been yours. All of those years serving you at the palace did not stop me from loving you. But I believed that you could never love me. I was a lowly servant. But you did love me, and you accepted me for who I was. I pledge myself to you, and will remain faithful as your wife, until death parts us." I slid the band onto his finger.

The priest cleared his throat. "I now proclaim you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Iggy swept me into his arms, and kissed me, long and slow. I dimly heard the applause around us, but I was more concentrated on the kiss.

Our first kiss as husband and wife.

I was now Princess Alexa Batchelder, wife to Prince Iggy Batchelder. We would never rule the kingdom, but I didn't care.

After all, I was with the one I loved.

Forever.

The End
