Wolf and Nathan went to the kitchen first to put the rabbits that they hunted there. After going to their rooms and get changed they went to the dining room.
"Are we late?" Wolf asked as he pulled a chair next to Virginia. "Cripes! I didn't even notice that you were back!" he said and went to hug Andy.
"Hi dad." Andy said.
"Peter! You're back!" Nathan said and gave Peter a hug, and then he welcomed the girls.
"It's so nice to see you all again." Wolf said.
"Thank you Mr. Wolfson." Edna said with a smile.
Wolf and Nathan joined the table. They were both hungry, although they had a 'meal' during their hunt.
After dinner everyone went to his room. Virginia called Edna and Andy.
"What is it mom?" Andy asked.
"You know that you are not allowed to see each other tomorrow until the ceremony, don't you?" Virginia asked.
"Yeah." Andy said with a sad tone.
"Mrs. Wolfson, where will be the ceremony? I forgot to ask about that." Edna said.
"Here in the palace. Wendell will do the wedding ceremony, and then the party will take place at the celebration hall."
"That's so nice of him." Edna said.
"My uncle is the best!" Andy said.
"Alright, now go upstairs, and remember, no sneaking into each other's rooms tomorrow, OK?"
"OK mom. Good night." Andy said.
"Good night Mrs. Wolfson."
"Good night dear." Virginia said and went to her room after them.
"Did you tell them?" Wolf asked as Virginia entered the room.
"Yeah. I didn't think that it would be so easy. Most of the couples get crazy about that."
"Like me." Wolf said.
Virginia smiled, "I remember that day like it was yesterday."
Wolf took her in his arms. "When Wendell told me that I can't see you before the ceremony, I was crazy. I didn't know what to do. They even put guards in front of my room, so I wouldn't get out."
"And my room was on the other side of the palace, so you didn't even have the chance to get out through the window."
"Huff-puff, thankfully I didn't wait for so long." He kissed her.
"Do you think our son will be happy like we are?"
"I'm sure of it. They both love each other. And I'm sure they'll live happily ever after."
"I hope so."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The whole palace was full of guests since morning. Royal families came from different kingdoms to attend the wedding ceremony. Edna watched the guests arriving from her window. Emma was in the room with her.
"I never thought that my wedding would be so special." Edna said.
"There are tons of guests coming." Emma said.
"It seems that the whole people of the kingdoms are here today."
"Who knows. This is a royal wedding after all." Emma said with a smile.
Meanwhile Andy was still in bed. He knew if he got up, he wouldn't be able to keep himself from going to Edna's room. And he wasn't allowed to do so. He kept turning around in his bed, thinking of that special day. Finally he decided to get up. He got dressed in his black tuxedo, and went out. He decided to give Edna a visit. He knocked the door.
"Who is it?" Emma said from inside.
"Emma it's me, Andy. Can you come out please?"
Emma turned to Edna, "Edna! It's Andy at the door."
"Don't let him come in!" Edna said, panicked.
Emma got out of the room and closed the door after her. "Morning Andy, I'm sorry but I can't let you in."
"I know. That's why I called you out. I didn't know you were here, but when you answered the door I thought about asking you to come out."
"Oh, I get it. You want me to be some kind of a messenger, right?"
"Right. My MSN messenger." Andy said with a wolfish smile.
"Is that so? Mr. ICQ."
"Oh I seek her for sure. How is she doing?"
"She's a little nervous because of the guests."
"They're already here?"
"Yeah. Didn't you see them from the window?"
"No, as soon as I got out of bed I came here." Andy said. Virginia was coming and she noticed Andy and Emma. But she thought that it was Edna talking with him at the door of her room.
"I thought I told you not to see each other today."
"But mom.."
"No buts! This is a bad sign! Edna go back to your room, and you Mr. Groom go to your room."
"But.."
"Now!"
"Mrs. Wolfson, Edna is in the room. I'm Emma." Emma said.
Virginia blushed. "Cripes!" she hit her head with her hand. "I'm so sorry! I thought you were Edna."
"It's Ok Mrs. Wolfson. It happens all the time." Emma said with a smile. "I'm here so Edna wouldn't get out of the room, and Mr. ICQ here, wouldn't get in."
"Mr. ICQ?" Virginia asked. "So, you're using Emma as a messenger?"
"Yes mom. So I wouldn't enter the room."
"Well, looks like my son does have a head above his shoulders after all." Virginia said with a smile.
"Mom!"
"OK, I'm going. I must see how is Rupert doing with the guests. See you soon."
"OK mom."
Virginia went downstairs. Andy and Emma continued their conversation.
"So, you said that she's nervous huh?" Andy asked.
"Yeah. But I think she'll come over it."
"Would you please tell her that I love her?"
"Now?"
"No, tomorrow. Of course now!"
"OK" Emma went inside, and after a few minutes came out, with a note in her hand. "Here, she gave me this. And she says she loves you too." She gave him the note.
"OK, I'll go to my room now. I'll be waiting for her at the ceremony."
"I'll let her know." Emma went back inside and Andy went to his room.
He sat on a chair and opened the note and started to read.
Dear Andy,
I want you to know that I love you and I'm really missing you at this moment. I really want to get out of the room to see you, but you know the rules. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I'm looking forward to see you in a few hours. This is going to be the best day in our life together.
I love you.
Forever yours,
Edna
Andy put the note on his chest. "I love you too." He said. He got up and looked out of the window. Guests were still arriving. "Did they invite the whole nine kingdoms?" he asked himself.
He walked in the room for a while, not knowing what to do. Finally he decided to go downstairs.
He saw his mother talking with Lord Rupert about the final touches of the decorations. His father and uncle were in the kitchen, as he saw them helping the servants with the food. The guests were in the ballroom.
"Mom, How much time do we have?" he asked.
"Not much. About two hours." Virginia said, and turned to Lord Rupert. "OK, I guess we don't have any other things to add. That will be all." She said.
"Alright miss Virginia. Now, if you'll excuse me." Lord Rupert bowed and left them.
"Did you see your father?" Virginia asked.
"Yeah, he and uncle Nathan were helping in the kitchen I think. I saw them helping the servants."
"OK. I'll go and get dressed, you can go to the ballroom and welcome the guests with Wendell."
"OK mom."
Virginia went to her room, and Andy went to the ballroom. Wendell and Tony were among the guests and welcoming all the new guests who were still arriving.
Emma was helping her sister to get dressed. Some maids came into the room and started to help them. Emma got dressed too, and now the maids helped with their hair and make-up. After they were finished the maids left the room.
"I guess we're ready now." Edna said as she looked at herself in the mirror.
"Edna you look beautiful." Emma said.
"All the brides look beautiful. It's nothing special." Edna said.
"No, I really mean it. You are different now. You're like Cinderella."
"Speaking of Cinderella, is she going to be here tonight?"
"I don't know. Is she still alive?"
"She is." Virginia said as she entered the room. "And she's already in the ballroom."
"Hi Mrs. Wolfson." Emma said.
"Sorry I didn't knock." Virginia said.
"It's not a problem Mrs. Wolfson." Edna said.
"You're so beautiful!" Virginia said to Edna.
"Thank you. Although I think all the brides look the same."
"Not my son's bride. You're special."
"I guess it's time to go now." Emma said.
"Yes, Peter will be here any moment now." Virginia said.
Emma gave the little flower bouquet to Edna, and after a few minutes Peter knocked the door and entered.
"Are you ready?" he said.
"Yes." Virginia replied. "OK, Emma come with me. Edna and Peter will come after us."
They left the room. Peter looked at his sister with a smile on his face.
"What?" Edna asked.
"I can't believe that you're getting married. I'm so happy for you."
Edna smiled to him. He kissed her cheek and they went out of the room. Edna put her arm around his and the walked to the ballroom where everyone one was waiting for them.
As they entered the room, music started and they walked toward Wendell and Andy, who were waiting in the middle of the room. Peter took Edna's hand and put it in Andy's hand and he stood near Nathan, who was standing a little bit back near Wolf and Virginia.
"Dear guests." Wendell started. "Today we are gathered here to witness the union of a young couple." Wendell continued with the ceremony, and at the end he announced them a husband and wife.
After the passionate kiss that Edna and Andy shared, the room was filled with colorful papers that dropped from the ceiling. The guests started to congratulate the couple with cheers and the orchestra started to play. Andy and Edna were the first to dance, and soon the whole room was dancing with them.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After the wedding, Andy and Edna went on their honeymoon to Kissingtown.
Wolf and Virginia decided to stay in the palace until Andy and Edna come back from their honeymoon, so they would return to New York together.
Peter and Emma went back to New York after a couple of days of the wedding and they took Nathan with them.
After that, they all lived happily ever after.
THE END
