Finally, the day of the wedding was here, and I was getting into the wedding dress, I had no clue why Dracula liked the tight style, it was a torture device to get into. I lost my breath just getting the tight fabric past my thighs, and I AM NOT fat, WHAT SO EVER! I finally got the dress on, right as the sun was setting. Mary was putting my hair up in the flower pin that came with the dress. I stood sideways in front of the mirror.
"GOD I AM SKINNY! ITS UNNATURAL, DO YOU SEE THIS!" I screamed, I saw Mary snickering in the mirror.
"Most of us would kill to have your body, Annabel." Mary told me. I groaned throwing my head back. I felt guilty, I was getting married instead of getting a PhD like I promised my parents, I couldn't bring myself to tell them that I wasn't at college. I looked wearily into the mirror, Mary gazed at my reflection curiously.
"What's wrong?" She asked, I sighed heavily, "My parents think I'm at college and NOT getting married to a vampire, well no one knows I'm getting married to a vampire but the two of us and Dracula." I said, my voice full of sadness. I glanced out the window, I saw Dracula, the preacher, and Chase, who was best man. I smiled as I watched Dracula converse with Chase nervously.
Even if he's a vampire, you know he's nervous. I smiled at the thought.
"Well, I need to go down the aisle, you know when to start walking, right?" Mary asked.
"Of course." I told her. I watched her leave. I returned my gaze to my reflection, I remembered my mother's remarriage, I looked a lot like her, the dress was different, and there wasn't a smiling five year old behind me, ready to do her duty as the flower girl. I looked out to the garden, Mary was half way down the aisle, so I took up my bouquet, sucking in a breathe, I went to the aisle, Dracula's eyes met mine, I was, once again, breathless, Dracula looked wonderful in a suit. I wanted to just run to that freaking flower arrangement that was the altar and get this done and over with. BUT NO, I had to do this with dignity, grr. The march seemed to take forever, but FINALLY the moment I have been waiting for had finally arrived, I finally met Dracula at the flower altar, Dracula smiled at me lovingly, and I THOUGHT I was immune to that affection glimmering in the depths of his green eyes, still made me shaky in the knees. I have never mentioned it, but shaky knees is only one of the many side effects to Dracula's smiles, most definitely his affectionate smile. I returned his smile lovingly, Dracula took my hand affectionately I almost lost train of thought when I saw that look on his face, triumphant, happy, overjoyed. Never, had I seen such an expression of his face, even after all these months. The preacher went through the wedding speech, asking Dracula if would take me as his wife, for as long as we both live, I winced at the mere mention of 'as long as we both shall live.' I waited patiently for my turn to vow, and as it came, my heart raced, faster and faster, I thought my heart would explode it was beating so fast. And when that time came my heart stopped.
"I do." I said simply, the words came out as a squeak, Dracula laughed. I smiled as he laughed, blushing deeply.
"Exchange rings." The preacher told us, I clutched the simple iron band, and slipped the ring on Dracula's ring finger, and while he slipped my ring finger, my heart, at the time had returned to a normal rate, started to flutter.
"You may kiss the bride." I almost started bouncing, Dracula leaning in and kissed me tenderly, that was no doubt the most amazing kiss that I'd ever received from Dracula.
DRACULA: THANK YOU!
Me: Hehe, well there you have it, marriage. EVERYONE HAPPY!
