Chapter Twelve; Celebration: A few days later Sabe received a parcel; in it were a holo chip and a small ring box. The note attached to the box read,

'watch the message first.'

So Sabe watched it, the message was an image of Obi-Wan, which then talked to her. He said,

"My love. I miss you so much, and love you. I want you to have an engagement ring, so open this," the image gestured with the ring box. Sabe picked it up and opened it. Inside was a small, square cut diamond, between two amethysts, one on each side. The message then continued,

"I hope that you like it, and that it is the right size. After hours of deliberation, with the help of Anakin I decided on this. I showed it to Queen Amidala in a holo message before I came to record this. She approved of the choice, again. I hope you like it. Please send me a message soon. I miss you. With all my love, from Obi-Wan."

The message then ended, Sabe sat staring at the ring, then placed it on the correct finger and murmured,

"It's beautiful."

Then typed a short message into a data pad, to Obi-Wan. It read,

'my dearest, it is beautiful. I love it, thank you so much. I miss you constantly and hope that you will be able to come to Naboo soon. I've had some ideas about a wedding dress but I can't tell you because you're the groom. Also we need to discuss the budget, location and colours etc. If you can't come here for a while then I think holo chats would be our best option. Hoping to see you soon. With all my love, Sabe."

When Amidala and the other handmaidens came back for lunch Sabe showed them the ring and thanked the Queen for her involvement.

"It was my pleasure,"

Ami said smiling. Sabe then relieved Yane in the throne room for the afternoon and next day.

By the time Obi-Wan was able to come to Naboo they had been engaged for four months, they had, had many holo chats. They had decided to have the wedding in the palace, with gold and chestnut brown for the colours and to have it in mid-summer. When Obi-Wan arrived, Sabe had been given the weekend off. They spent the first day in his room and then spent the second day going over and finalizing plans for the wedding. It would be in two months time. Then Obi-Wan was leaving again, but during a holo chat with the Council with Sabe present they decided that Obi-Wan could visit Naboo twice a month when he wasn't on mission. Anakin would come sometimes and the rest of the time he would stay with one of the Council members on Coruscant.

Then next thing they knew it was their wedding, they went through the usual Naboo and Jedi customs and didn't see each other the night before the wedding. Then it was the big day; Sabe was dressed in an ivory dress with a close fitting bodice with gold flowers on and a plain, satin skirt. Amidala was her maid of honor and the other handmaidens were her bridesmaids. They all wore simple gold dresses and Amidala didn't ware her ceremonial makeup. Obi-Wan was in chestnut brown Jedi robes along with Anakin who was his best man. The Jedi Council was present with a few of Obi-Wan's other Jedi friends. Sabe's friends and family were there. It was a beautiful day with dinner and dancing later. With the happy couple, best man, maid of honor and bridesmaids on the top table. Then Sabe's family and friends one a second table which was opposite the Jedi Council and Obi-Wan and Anakin's friends. The tables were in a U shape and then there was a dance floor in the middle.

The couple's first dance and later they left on their honeymoon, they went to a secluded lake retreat and had a week there. Anakin had stayed in the palace and the Council had left two days after the wedding. Obi-Wan and Anakin soon returned to Coruscant.
