A week passed and Cair Paravel was being prepared for the wedding. Susan overlooked as many of the details as possible. The ceremony was planned to be held on the balcony with Narnians on the beach and in the hall.

Her siblings and Liliandil were obviously in the wedding, and therefore they were attending to their duties.

"Susan! It's time!" Lucy beckoned from the beach below the balcony.

"Coming right now, Lu!" Susan replied as she tightened her hair in a bun. She turned and looked over the throne room. Satisfied that things will be done in her stead, she informed the crew she was leaving.

"Bout time! Let's go!" Lucy squealed with excitement.

"Shouldn't I be the one that has to drag you along?" Susan wrapped her arm around Lucy's shoulders. Susan lifted the skirt of her majestic green dress so she would track sand and pebbles along with her. "But I am nervous…what if it doesn't…"

"It'll be perfect!" Lucy wrapped her arm around Susan's waist not bothering to lift her skirts of her pink dress. Her waist-length curls whipped around her back and shoulders and they entered town and headed to the dress shop.

"Ah, your majesties!" an older faun came out at the sound of the entrance bell. "I've been expecting you. Come, this way!" The faun lead Susan and Lucy to a private area of the shop.

"How are you today, Ms. Decima?" Susan inquired.

"Oh just fine dearies." Ms. Decima hustled and brought forth the item of interest. "Time for the final fitting."

Lucy assisted Susan into the fine wedding gown. Susan wiggled into the first layer just fine on her own. It wasn't until the actual dress had to be lifted over her head to lay on top of the petticoat that she needed help.

Once Ms. Decima finished adjusting the train, she urged Susan to the mirrors. Susan tried to anticipate what to expect by gauging Lucy's eyes, which now grew wide with a smile of delight and shock. Susan hesitated to look in the mirror but gasped when she did.

S/C…S/C…S/C… S/C…S/C…S/C… S/C…S/C…S/C…

Susan and Lucy met with Liliandil in a little café for lunch. The three girls giggled and gossiped. Susan and Lucy shared all sorts of stories about Edmund and Liliandil chuckled at each amusing part.

When they finished their lunches, it was off to return to the dress shop. Lucy and Liliandil would be the subjects this time.

Ms. Decima assisted Lucy with her gown and Susan, since she was taller, helped Liliandil.

The star and youngest queen look at their reflections. Both wore the same dress but in different colors. Lucy twirled and Liliandil ran her hands along the fabric.

"You two look stunningly perfect." Susan watched her sister and friend. She smiled and her heart began to speed up. Things were coming together perfectly.

~The Day of the Wedding~

Lucy and Liliadil were dressed and ready by 11:30 that morning. And a beautiful morning it was; the sun was bright and warm, the sky was cloudless, and the smell of flowers wafted through the air.

"Susan, are you ready for us to help you?" Lucy inquired.

"Yes. Merry-weather just finished my hair. Does it look okay?" Susan turned to face her wedding party. Merry-weather had put curly ringlets in Susan's hair and pull just less than half of her hair back in hidden pins. Susan's lily and vine crown was nestled neatly among her locks and hooked to the crown was the veil. It was a simple style, but very elegant.

"Your hair is lovelier than normal if that's even possible!" Liliandil complimented.

Lucy and Liliandil moved to help Susan dress in her gold and white gown. No one could wait to see Caspian's reaction. Lucy tied the laces in the back of the dress, careful not to mess with the long curls too much. Liliandil fluffed out the skirts when a knock on the chamber door interrupted them.

"May I come in, Susan?"

"Yes, Edmund."

Edmund entered the chamber quickly followed by Peter. Their eyes widened at the sight of the three ladies. Edmund even blushed a little when he gazed upon Liliandil.

"Well, I think I will let you four have a moment," Liliandil smiled as she left the room.

"You two look amazing!" Peter smiled and hugged his sisters. "And you…" He stepped back to look at Susan once more. "Stunning as always."

The siblings stood in a circle looking at each other.

"Nothing is going to change, we're simply gaining a brother." Lucy reminded her brothers who almost looked sad. "Let's do this then, shall we!" she continued.

They chuckled, hugged, and prepared for the plunge.

Liliandil was standing out on the balcony of the grand hall. The sun reflected off of her ice blue gown. Edmund examined it from Susan's doorway as he left it.

Both Liliandil and Lucy, who wore a sky blue version, wore the same style dress: a medieval style dress with a V neckline and waistline and a split down the front of the A line skirt. The sleeves were fitted to the elbow then long flowing chiffon, which split at the elbow. The dress also featured intricate, but delicate, embroidery of gold on the bodice, which also runs down the front of the split in the skirt and around the bottom of the fitted part of the sleeves. Finally, it laced up in the back. The train is approximately 1 and a half-foot long.

Liliandil turned when she felt eyes watching her. Her eyes, which matched her dress, met Edmunds deep brown eyes. Her hair, which was straight as always, fell over her shoulder and to her waist. Edmund smiled at the sight of her and she returned it. Edmund headed to the area where the band was sitting and informed them to prepare to begin.

Peter walked out on to the balcony with Caspian in tow. Caspian looked a mixture of happy, excited, anxious, nervous, and jittery.

"I guess I should go back with Lucy and Susan." Liliandil smiled at the kings and rejoined the queens.

"Here we go!" Lucy was so excited, she was jumping up and down like she used to when she was young. Her curled hair bounced with her jumps and her silver crown nearly fell, but she held on to it. "Okay, Merry-weather, you can head out now."

Merry-weather acted as flower girl, so she went first. Liliandil followed a few seconds later then Lucy, who couldn't stop smiling.

Susan gripped her bouquet of white roses and yellow lilies. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself and took her steps toward Caspian.

When Susan came into view, Caspian was noticeably stunned. He moved his feet a little farther apart for better balance and cleared his throat quietly. He eyed Susan up and down, taking in every feature of her face and dress.

Susan was smiling, never showing any signs of nervousness. As for her dress, she heard gasps of approval as everyone took stock of her gown: it was a stunning Fairy/Fantasy style dress and made of silk dupion with organza sleeves and layers over the skirt. The boned bodice was a unique and unusual shaping of points and scoops on the neckline and waistline. It had a lace up feature on the front, a lace up back and was intricately decorated with hand painted and beaded flowers and leaves. The full skirt used gathers, a net petticoat and swathes of organza to create a full and indulgent look and feel. The organza was gathered with hand painted, beaded and structured flowers. The Train was about 3 ft long.

Susan too took in what Caspian looked like: black shiny boots, black trousers, white shirt, and a black vest. A light-weight black coat hung open. His shoulder-length hair was pulled half back and tied with a piece of black suede string. He was simply dashing and he was hers.

The golden hues of the dress made Susan look like she was glowing as she approached Caspian. Once she arrived at his side, she handed her bouquet to Lucy and Aslan began the ceremony, during which Susan had to remind Caspian to breath now and then.

~The Reception~

Susan couldn't believe it…she was married…to Caspian. It actually happened. And it all happened in Cair Paravel. Now, everyone was eating and having a wonderful time. Susan and Caspian sat together at a head table on a raised platform. On a lower platform in from of them was Peter, Edmund, Lucy, and Liliandil. They all looked over the crowd in the hall and smiled knowing this was the way life should be.

"Have I told you yet how amazing you look today?" Caspian smiled, taking Susan's left hand in his right and brought it to his lips to graze her knuckles with a kiss.

"Only a million, my love." She tilted her head and smiled leaning over to kiss him tenderly on his lips. A cheer erupted from the guests and laughs from the siblings. Susan and Caspian broke apart and chuckled.

Soon, music began playing which meat Susan and Caspian were to have their first dance. Before Susan headed to the dance floor, Lucy and Liliandil pinned up Susan's train so there was no chance of anyone tripping on her skirt.

Susan and Capsian waltzed through the first tune with ease. As the evening went on, more varieties of music were played and guests were surprised by the kings' and queens' ability to dance more than the traditional dances. The newly weds even shocked everyone by their rendition of the tango.

Halfway through the reception, Susan noticed Edmund and Liliandil were nowhere in sight. She smiled knowing what was to come.

S/C…S/C…S/C… S/C…S/C…S/C… S/C…S/C…S/C…

Liliandil looked out over the sea. Stars glittered up above and the moon was almost as bright as the sun. A person clearing their throat caught her attention and she turned to see who had snuck out of the reception.

"Good evening, Liliandil." Edmund gave a slight bow and joined her near the railing.

"Good evening, Edmund." She smiled and curtseyed. "It was a perfect day, wasn't it?"

"It was at that. Hopefully, this evening will end just as perfectly as the day began." Edmund spoke softly.

"Of course it will; look at the sky. It'll be perfect."

"I wasn't exactly talking about the weather." Edmund grinned shyly. "Have you thought about what it would be like to be married?"

"I never really had to think about it that much. Stars don't marry. But now that I'm no longer required to stay in the heavens, I have thought about it what with this wedding and all." Liliandil felt as if she was rambling and fell silent. Truth was, ever since Edmund returned, she thought about what it would be like to be married to him.

"Have you ever thought of whom you'd marry?" Edmund looked her over and took a deep breath when she nodded. She looked right into his eyes now. "Liliandil…" Edmund began and he knelt down to one knee. "I would be honored if you would be my wife. Will you marry me?"

S/C…S/C…S/C… S/C…S/C…S/C… S/C…S/C…S/C…

Susan and Caspian were saying goodbye to guests as they left Cair Paravel. Finally, it was just the newly weds left with Peter and Lucy.

"Where's Ed?" Peter questioned when they finally sat down at a random table.

"And Liliandil." Lucy continued.

As if on cue, Edmund and Liliandil joined the family in the hall. Both were smiling. Edmund looked like a cat that stole a canary with his smug grin.

"Well…?" Susan asked with complete knowledge of what just transpired between her brother and Star.

"There's to be another wedding!" Edmund confirmed.

"Edmund asked for my hand in marriage and I said yes." Liliandil smiled, unsure exactly how to act. She showed off her ring: a silver material band (possibly platinum, or the Narnian equivalent) and a diamond in the shape of a star.

Lucy squealed with joy and hugged her brother then future sister-in-law. The others joined in the merriment of the moment as well and they toasted the occasion out on the balcony.

As the six of them stood on the balcony under the cover of the stars, the footprints in the sand below along the beach were clear. They all smiled knowing this was where they all belonged and finally could breathe freely and happily.
