A huge thanks goes out to everyone who reviewed last chapter. We passed the 400 review mark, which is absolutely amazing.

QT: A few of you gave me the correct answer of Tantalus (although several struggled with the spelling) in the Sea of Monsters. Bonus points went to those who said he was speaking to Percy/the camp. Here are your winners: livelaughloveandread, prince of the seas, SeeTheMoviePJOSeaOfMonsters, AGreyMood, numbah435spiritsong, Cookie Frost Girl and one guest.

This is the last chapter *wipes away tear* so you guys better enjoy it. It is Percy and Annabeth's wedding from the bride's point of view.

Enjoy Chapter Twenty-One (the last chapter) of The Prince, The Girl and The World.

Disclaimer: Rick Riordan couldn't have come up with a sequel as fantastic as this.

Chapter Twenty-One: Annabeth POV

Oh my gods. I can't believe today is the day. I can't believe today is the day I'm going to be marrying Percy. It just doesn't feel like this is actually happening. Four months of planning had finally paid off. The bridesmaids and groomsmen were picked out, the location was decided and the date was picked.

Percy had insisted we get married somewhere in England. "If I proposed to you in Germany, we have to get married in England." That's what he said.

The date we picked out was around a week before Christmas. I had my dress fitted to perfection around a month ago and we were going big, since we had the entire kingdom's treasury at our service.

We decided to do it like Rayne and Ashton's wedding, have a private section for guests and then a huge general admission section that was sure to be filled to the brim.

Our color scheme was difficult, seeing as the UK and Germany had almost no colors in common, but we figured it out. The bridesmaids were going to wear pale red dresses and the groomsmen would be wearing gold ties. Of course I would have my white dress and Percy would have his white tie.

Speaking of the bridesmaids, they were the reason I was up already. I had gotten a good night's sleep the night before, surprisingly, considering even Rayne wasn't able to sleep well the night before her wedding.

My bridesmaids, Abby, Rayne and Percy's cousin Carina, had knocked on my door even before the sun was up. After a minute or so of continuously knocking I finally got out of bed and opened the door. They rushed in, each tackling me in a hug. We talked for around an hour or so before my mother showed up and we finally had to start getting ready.

I had given her a hug as she walked in.

"Congratulations sweetie," she had said. "It's hard to believe you're the one getting married now. It seems like only yesterday you were being born."

I thanked her and the two of us simultaneously wiped away tears that had started to form. We had agreed to try to contain the little suckers until after the ceremony.

Within an hour, I had my make-up on, as did the three bridesmaids, and I was slipping on my dress.

I loved my dress. I know, I say that a lot, but this time I truly meant it. Being a royal wedding, I could afford to go over the top, so naturally I went over the top of over the top. The dress was strapless, as you'd expect if you knew me, and hugged my sides up until my waistline when it poofed out extraordinarily. I had a little white ribbon that was tied around my waist like a belt and I had a white bracelet that I was going to wear around my left wrist. All in all, I felt perfect.

The wedding ceremony itself wasn't in the castle, so we had gotten a carriage to take us to and from the place where the ceremony was held. Luckily though the ceremony was still underneath a roof, because we had gotten snow last night and it covered the ground in a thin layer of white powder. I think the snow would just make our wedding picture look even more amazing.

I had been forbidden to see Percy from the end of the rehearsal last night until I saw him during the actual ceremony this afternoon, which I thought was ridiculous, but I dealt with it. Once this was over, it would be just the two of us on our honeymoon to Cyprus.

My mother led me and the bridesmaids down to the castle grounds, where two carriages were waiting. One would take the bridesmaids and the other would take me and my parents. The groomsmen and Percy were already at the ceremony waiting for us to show up.

When the six of us were settled in our respective carriages, we started our trek to the ceremony. We exited the castle grounds and before I knew it we were stopping.

My father hopped out of the carriage first, first helping me down and then my mother. The three of us walked into a room and there we joined up with the groomsmen, who were laughing and seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Percy's best man, Grover, noticed me first, followed by Sven and Ashton.

"Wow, Annabeth, you look amazing," Grover said. "Percy is going to love you."

I smiled at him sheepishly. "Thanks Grover." I gave him a quick hug, and I followed that by giving hugs to both Sven and Ashton.

"Alright," my mother announced. "Are we all ready? Because if so I'm going to head down the aisle and get this started."

Everyone said they were ready, but suddenly my heart caught in my throat and I couldn't speak. My heart rate tripled and nerves got the best of me. I started to shake when Grover, who was still standing next to me, clasped his hands on my shoulders.

"Annabeth," he said and I looked up into his eyes. "Remember, Percy isn't the brightest guy, alright? He needs someone like you in his life. Just take a deep breath and this will be over before you know it."

I did as Grover said and my body stopped shaking. I took another deep breath and I was able to speak again. I thanked Grover and turned towards my mom.

"I'm ready, mom. Go ahead."

She couldn't help herself and walked over to wrap me in one last hug. My mother gave me a kiss on the forehead before lowering my veil.

"Congratulations, Annabeth. You picked the right guy."

I had to smile at that. My mother turned and made her way out of the room, making a left turn as she exited the door. You could hear the buzz of the crowd almost immediately as they recognized the Queen of the United Kingdom.

I had to take several more deep breaths as we lined up. Sven and Carina would lead the bridal train in, followed by Ashton and Rayne and finally Grover and Abby. My dad and I would give it a couple seconds longer before following.

"Alright, here we go," Sven announced and the two Germans stepped out of the room.

I grabbed my father's right arm and he looked down at me.

"I can't believe you're getting married," he said. "I know you'll make us proud."

I physically had to look away from him, or else I would start crying.

"Thanks, dad," I told him. "Now let's get going before I form a new river right here and now."

I managed to catch his eye one more time and he gave me a smile.

"Alright. It's time for the main attraction."

With that, the two of us exited the room and immediately the recognizable melody of Here Comes the Bride started playing.

Immediately, my eyes locked on Percy, even though he was still a good fifty yards away. He sent me one of his signature smiles and I couldn't help but return one of my own.

When we finally reached the front of the audience, I noticed Percy stepping down from the stage as my father raised my veil. He gave me a kiss on the cheek before turning and giving Percy a handshake.

When he left, it was finally just the two of us. I grabbed Percy's hand and the two of us made our way up onto the stage, our lives about to be changed forever.

The End

A/N:

There it is. The end of TPTGATW. What did you guys think? You probably expected a little more in the wedding, but it was a good place to let off.

This author's note won't be long, since I am uploading a major one here in a couple minutes.

Question of the Chapter: What are your overall impressions on the second story/series?

Thanks again for everything you guys have done.
