II. A Wedding
The next morning Romana and David were getting ready to get married. She didn't care about a traditional wedding, but David said that it meant a lot to his father, so they were doing it. They were getting married.
The wedding was to be held in the fountain square at the monument of the Codes of Dinotopia. This wouldn't be much of a change; they had been living and working together for the last 10 years, from the time that they had been cadets together at the academy where they are now both instructors.
David, meanwhile, was also getting ready for the wedding, by getting his best uniform on. His brother was helping with the decoration and things, but just as David was getting major jitters, Carl came back in, "Ginny is so pretty with her little flower girl dress on, oh, and you look really handsome, dad's on his way in, he was just getting his stuff together."
At that, his dad and Oloo came in laughing. Over the last 10 years they had become very good friends, "I was just telling him about my brother's wedding, that he almost balled, and he would have if I hadn't given him a few hard drinks to 'boost his spirits."
The night before: Oloo, Frank, David, and Karl had had David's bachelor party. It was Carl's idea. He knew how much it would embarrass his brother, so he got some drinks, and an empty room (there were no strippers on Dinotopia). They had just gotten drunk, and later paid for it with hangovers.
Marion came in with Ginny, who had the long curly hair of her mother, aunt, and grandother, "It's time," she said.
Oloo went to Romana's room while the rest of them went to the altar to wait. Then there she was, dressed all in white and lace lining her body and her golden hair flowing down beneath the veil and glowing like a sunstone. As she walked up he was thinking that he had never seen her in a dress before, no even at Karl and Marion's wedding 9 years ago. That day had been their happiest day of their lives, and this was his.
When Romana was walking up the isle, it seemed like time was in slow motion. David and Romana locked eyes, and it was like there was no one else in the world.
"Dearly beloved…" said the master of ceremonies, who happened to be a dinosaur. During the whole ceremony there was no one else in the world. "I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride."
