The preparations for the wedding were endless. Where to have it, what food to have at it, who to invite, what time it should be at, what Areida's dress would be like, where they would live, and so forth. In the end, We decided to have it right in the main room of the inn. Mandy would cook Will's and Areida's favorite foods (pumpkin spice bread, carrot soup, and white cake). Will and Areida composed a long list of people to invite in the late hours of the night, sitting closely at the kitchen table and giggling like the two lovers they were. They wanted the wedding at midday, to make time for congratulations afterwards. Areida was to wear an Ayorthaian dress her mother made her, and she and Will would reside in the inn.
Areida's family (the ones that owned their own little inn in Ayorthaia) were coming. They were taking the risk of lending the inn to a friend for a while, and arrived a week before the wedding. Areida's mother was a kind person, always giving people hugs and singing to them. She was just the sort of person you would look to to give advice and such. We became dear friends in the short time she was here.
Everyone else was much like Areida. Same spirit, same sense of humor, same everything. They were always causing people to laugh in the inn, and helping out everywhere they possibly could.
Will was as happy as possible, smiling to himself constantly and catching Areida's glance. I don't know why I didn't see their secret courtship before. I thought back in my memory and realized that Will was smiling to himself then, and always looking at Areida over his dinner and whenever he could steal a glance.
I laughed to myself as I wrote down a man's name and what room number he would stay in. He gave me odd looks as I lead him up the stairs and down the hall. When I went back downstairs and into the kitchen, I found Areida sitting at the kitchen, bent over something.
"Areida? Something wrong?" I asked.
Areida looked up. No, of course nothing was wrong. She looked as happy as ever. "No, Ella." She guestuered to the slip of paper on the table she was looking at: The guest list. "It's this blasted guest list. I don't know who else to invite. Will is gone right now, talking to the minister. Help me, here."
I looked at the guest list. The usual people were on it: Areida's family, Mable, Me, Mandy, some other friends from Dneprov. Areida didn't seem to think it was enough. "We need more. We need just a few more. I want someone that will make our wedding memorable, like a fairy, but I don't know how to send a letter to one."
"Oh, trust me, Areida. A fairy will be there."
She gave me a questioning look, and I said, "They always come. Hardly a wedding or a birth goes by that a fairy isn't present." I was talking about Mandy, but Areida didn't know that.
"Oh, good!" she said just as Will entered.
"Hello, Ella," Will said brightly. "Hello, sweet," he said to Areida, kissing her lightly on the cheek and making her blush. His eyes crossed over Areida's shoulder and landed on the guest list. "Ah," he said, hoisting it up and staring at it for a moment. I must admit, he looked dashing the way his hair was windblown (as it WAS May) and his cheeks flushed. "The guest list." He inhaled sharply. "Oh, Areida. I was thinking. Why not invite the prince?"
"WHAT?!" Areida and I said at the same time. Areida was intrigued, and I was horrified. A thought dawned on me: Areida had never asked me about Char saying I was married, and had never questioned my relationship with him. She must have so many questions. I would have to tell her the answer sometime... Eventually.
"What a perfectly MARVELOUS idea!" said Areida. She then said something in Ayorthaian, which would translate to, "Ella, why didn't we think of this?" Will did not know Ayorthaian, but he was learning from Areida.
"No!" I exclaimed. I got out of my chair and faced Will, putting on my most serious face and voice. "You cannot invite him!"
"And why not?" asked Will. "He is my friend. I met him here at the inn. I'm sure he would love to know that I am to be married"--he cast a loving look at Areida--"and he would come, I know he would!"
I sank back into my chair. I could not give them the real reason, although Will might have already guessed it. I also could make up an excuse, for what excuse would I give them? That Char has better things to do with his time? They would be insulted at the thought, and insulted at me for saying such things. I thought hard. No, there was no reason in the world that I could give them.
"I guess you're right," I said solemnly. I brightened up so that they would not suspect me for anything. "You SHOULD invite him! What was I thinking. I must be so nervous about having a prince around and everything. You go ahead. I must go and greet the customers now."
I left the room, but not before I heard Will say, "So it's settled! Char will come--that is, if he can manage it. I will post the letter in the mail as soon as possible."
