Love in Dauntless
Chapter 21: Wedding day
Tris' POV
I wake up to find Christina, Shauna and Marlene hovering over me with big, goofy smiles on their faces. "Good morning." I say with a smile on my face.
"Morning!" They all say in sing-song voices.
"What time is it?" I ask.
"Eleven." Christina informs me.
"Meaning there are five hours until I get married so I can go back to sleep." I say before covering my face with my blanket.
"No, Tris, you have to get up so we can get you ready." Marlene whines.
"And we have to get ready as well." Shauna adds.
"We have five hours; it's not going to take five hours for us all to get ready." I say.
"Fine." Christina says and I hear them all leaving the room.
But it isn't long before I feel the small body of my daughter lying on top of me. I uncover my face to find my daughter smiling at me. I smile back at her before sitting up and cradling her in my arms. "I knew that would work." I hear Christina whisper from the other side of the door.
"You know using my daughter against me is really unfair." I yell, not bothering to get out of my bed. They all come into the room again and look at me with guilty looks on their faces.
"Sorry. But you need to get up so you can eat and shower and we can do your hair and make-up before getting you into your dress. Then we have to get ready." Marlene apologizes.
"I know. I only wanted another five minutes." I lie; I actually wanted about an hour.
"You're lying." Christina says.
"Come on, I didn't even bite the inside of my lip or do anything to show that I was lying. But seriously, I wanted another hour." I say.
"Oh, come on, whenever anyone says another five minutes they're lying." She says.
"True." I say. "Go get me some breakfast then."
"What do you want?" Shauna asks.
"Pancakes." I say.
"Pancakes coming right up." Shauna says.
"Christina, can you get Hope one of her bottles and heat it up. They're in the fridge." I say.
"Of course I can." She says and the girls leave the room, leaving me and Hope alone.
…
It is now half three and all of us are ready. Hope is wearing a cute white dress as a pink headband that has a bow on top. She looks adorable. She is going to be the flower girl and Marlene is going to carry her down the aisle. The girls are wearing silver/grey dresses that stop mid-thigh. Their hair is curled and done in a half up half down do. Their makeup is done naturally and they wear eyeliner and mascara. They are wearing black heels with silver diamonds on the front of the shoe.
I am wearing my dress, obviously, and my hair is also curled in a half up half down do. Though, I am wearing a silver tiara that has black diamonds in it. My make-up is done like theirs, natural with eyeliner and mascara. I also wear heels, though you can't see them due to the length of the dress. "Let's go and get you married." Christina says and we leave the apartment.
…
Twenty five minutes later and I am standing outside the doors that lead to the place where I am to be married to Tobias Eaton, the love of my life. Though, they aren't going to say Tobias Eaton because he doesn't want anyone to know his real name. Max is going to be marrying us, he agreed to it as soon as we told him we were engaged.
We are getting married in the only garden that is in Dauntless, it is underground, because Dauntless is underground, and it is fake grass, but it is beautiful. Full of flowers of beautiful colours, there is a waterfall at the end, we are getting married on the grass in front of the waterfall, though the grass is far back enough that we won't get wet.
Someone comes up to stand next to me and I face them to find my dad there, with a smile on his face. "You came." I say in surprise. I didn't think he'd come considering it's in Dauntless.
"Of course I did. I wouldn't miss it for the world. And I wanted to see my granddaughter." He says before looping his arm through mine.
The doors open and I see everyone standing up. Christina walks out first and then Shauna, then Marlene who is carrying Hope and helping her throw flower petals on the ground. Then it's my turn. My dad and I start walking down the aisle. Tobias is on the other side, smiling at me. I smile back at him and keep my eyes on him all the way down the aisle. Soft music is playing as we walk.
I get to the end and my dad kisses my cheek before placing my hand in Tobias'. I walk so I am facing Tobias and put my other hand in his. The music stops and Max gestures for everyone to sit, and they do.
"We are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage of these two people. Four, repeat after me. I Four take you Beatrice Grace Prior to be my lawfully wedded wife…"
I Four take you Beatrice Grace Prior to be my lawfully wedded wife…" Tobias says with a smile on his face.
"… To have and to hold, from this day forward…"
"… To have and to hold, from this day forward…"
"… For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer…"
"… For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer…"
"… In sickness and in health, until death do us part."
"… In sickness and in health, until death do us part."
"Beatrice, repeat after me. I Beatrice Grace Prior take you Four to be my lawfully wedded husband…"
"I Beatrice Grace Prior take you Four to be my lawfully wedded husband…"
"… To have and to hold, from this day forward…"
"… To have and to hold, from this day forward…"
"… For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer…"
"… For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer…"
"… In sickness and in health, until death do us part."
"… In sickness and in health, until death do us part."
"Do you, Four, take Beatrice Grace Prior to be your wife?"
"I do." Tobias says with a smile.
"Do you, Beatrice Grace Prior take Four to be your husband?"
"I do." I say as a tear slips out of my eye, a happy tear, I am smiling so hard my cheeks hurt.
"Rings please." Max says and Zeke steps forward with a goofy smile on his face, he gives me Tobias' ring and Tobias my ring before stepping back in line. "You may now exchange rings." Max says and we slide on each other's rings, onto the ring finger of the left hand. "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
Tobias starts moving in to kiss me and I meet him half way in a passionate kiss that shows how much I love him and how much he loves me. More happy tears make their way down my cheeks as we pull apart and he takes my hand in his. Everyone is clapping and cheering for us as we run back down the aisle and out of the garden.
When we have left the room he stops, so I stop, he kisses me. "I've wanted to do that since last night." He says when we pull apart.
"So have I." I say.
"How about we just skip the party and start our honeymoon?" He says.
"Great plan but we have to introduce my parents, my brother and Susan to our daughter. We will go for an hour then leave." I say.
"Okay." He says before kissing me again.
He takes my hand and leads me to Zeke's apartment, which is where the party is being held. It is a big place and not that many people were invited to the wedding, only close friends and family. Though, the only blood family that came were my parents and Caleb, and our daughter obviously. The rest were just friends. Like the rest of the gang, Lynn, Lauren, Tori, Bud, Max, some of the kitchen staff, the rest of the staff at the tattoo parlour, etc.
So we go to the party, have our first dance as a married couple, introduce my family to Hope, say goodbye to Hope, giving her to Christina and sneaking out, heading back to our apartment, where we spend the rest of the night consummating our marriage and sleeping, wrapped in each other's arms.
Hey guys, hope you enjoyed it. Do you want me to do a chapter about Caleb's wedding or not? If you do, that will be the next chapter; if you don't the next chapter will be about the day the initiates arrive. Please tell me.
Review please!
