WEDDING

TALISA

When the wolves first came to Winterfell Talisa feared them. As time passed she came to love them as much as the Starks. Especially Grey Wind since he was Robb's wolf and he had taken a fancy to her. Her wedding to the heir of Winterfell is outshined by her future godfather's news. A Targaryen, two Targaryens and no one was more excited about this news than her father.

"Our family is about to be bound in marriage to the Targareyns…" Marro says in excitement. "We can use this to further our power and political influence in Volantis." He looks at his son, "Son how do you feel about winning the heart of a Princess?"

"My heart belongs to Sansa Stark father." Arro replies.

"The King's cousin…A beauty, but not the glory and power Daenarys Targaryen would bring us."

"I will not be used to further you ambitions father…I love you, but I must follow my heart."

He sighs, :Very well then."

ARYA

She had been listening to Marro and his family talk with her magic and decided to speak with Dany after they spar. The two of them are evenly matched in sword skills. Arya likes to fight with a sword and a dagger, Dany likes to fight one handed style, but likes to switch hands to throw her opponents off. Once again their duel ends in a draw. "May I speak with you in private?" Arya asks as Dany wipes herself off with a towel.

They both drink water as they head to the godswood. "I have been meaning to say that for one as young as you are, you have a very mature mind and attitude.

Arya smiles, "Thank you…I wanted to talk about the future. Your future. Did Aegon tell you about me?"

"Aye he did." She says using the traditional Northern expression.

"Good I know you are planning heading east, after Aegon takes the Iron Throne, have you considered the Maegyrs?"

"Yes I have actually…I wasn't going to, but then I noticed the way your sister and Lord Arro look at one another."

"You are saving your heart for Daario?"

Dany smiles, "Yes." Through Arya's influence Dany speaks with Marro about making Volantis the future capital of the Eastern Empire.

CATELYN

The day and of the wedding had finally come. Catelyn had become close to Talisa and felt the future of House Stark is secure in Talisa's hands. She had been worried about her father who did not take well the news of the Targaryen return to power. She would speak with him after the wedding. She set those thoughts on the side as she walked hand and hand with her husband to the morning feast.

The Magaerys had bought a lot of food for all the feasts they had been having so the demands on Winterfell's stocks are minimal. The women spent the day together doing this and that. The men went hunting, while the children ran around Winterfell getting into some mischief or another. The wedding would take place two hours after noon.

When the time came Cat and Sansa help Avalene get dressed. Then she goes to make sure Arya is cooperating with the servants. To her surprise Arya is in her dress and waiting, her hair is also done. "You look so pretty."

"Thank you mother."

Catelyn is escorted to the godswood by Marro while Avalene escorts Ned. Sansa is with Arro, the two of them make a good couple. Bran is escorting Meera Reed a future couple in the making. While here Cat had heard some of the children teasing about how the two are in love. "Who comes before the gods this evening?" Aegon asks. At the last minute Robb asked Aegon to perform the wedding.

"I Robb Stark of House Stark."

"I Talisa of House Maegyr."

"Swear your oaths before the gods of old and may they bear witness…Curse on thee who breaks this vow."

"I Robb Stark heir of Winterfell, swear before the heart tree may the old gods bear witness…With all that I am I vow to love and keep to my heart and bed Lady Talisa Maegyr…She is my wife from this day until my last."

"I Talisa Maegyr swear before the heart tree and may the old gods bear witness…With all that I am. I vow to love and keep to my heart and bed Lord Robb stark…He is my husband from this day until my last."

"Lord Robb Stark and Lady Talisa have sworn before the old gods. They two are now man and wife may the old gods bless this union."

"Hip! Hip! Hooray!" Jon Umber yells leading the cheers and well wishes. Then everyone heads to the main hall for gifts and food. Cat retires after Robb and Talisa leave the main hall to consummate their marriage.

The next morning after breaking their fasts many Lords and Ladies leave for their homes. She and her father walk to his room. "Father…You are bound to House Stark by me…Will you support us in our hour of need."

Hoster sighs, "Our people fought, bled, and died to remove the Mad King and now you wish to put his Grandson on the Iron Throne." She was about to speak, but he raises his hand, "When you believed he was a bastard what did you think of him?"

Cat sighs, "I don't know…I hated him because I thought he was a bastard…Jon…Aegon is kind hearted…Loving…and I would not admit it when I thought he was a bastard; he is a good young man. He will make a great King."

He sighs, "I have to think about Cat."

"Father…what are the words of House Tully?"

"Family, Duty, Honor."

"Is not he family?"

He sighs, "He is and he will have the support of the Riverlands."

She hugs him, "Thank you Father."

ROBB

He wakes up to his wife sleeping and watches her for a while before sneaking out to have food bought to their room. When he returns she is still asleep, her hair spread across the pillow. A knock at the door wakes her up. Robb takes the tray from the servant and they sit at a table eating.

"So what do we do today?" Talisa asks.

"I was planning to stay in bed…You?"

She smiles, "I don't know…I might stay in bed myself."

"I like this plan." They get dressed so that the servants can change the sheets then they jump back into bed and make love again. They nap and then have a bathe together. When they join the family and guests still in the castle everyone claps.

"We thought we would not see the two of you until tomorrow.' Eddard say getting some laughs.

"We heard there was a record that needed to be broken." Talisa says, earning mugs slammed on tables, laughs, and a kiss from Robb.

Marro stands up and toasts his daughter, goodson, and the Starks. Over the next few days the Lords and Ladies leave to return to their homes. Howland Reed stays the longest and is the last to leave.
