I know this was meant to be posted on Christmas Eve, but I couldn't post this fanfiction, because you see, my family opeen present actually on Christmas Eve, and up till dinner my brother and his friend has been using the computer, that I could only write using my laptop, and moreover, I spent quite a while playing monopoly and beating them at foozball. (Can you imagine? me, beating people a lot older than me?)
Anyway, we had dinner and then stayed up till 11:30 and I couldnt go and trn on the computer as my om would probably have a fit. So, I ddn't have access to a computer with internet as I could only use my laptop, and so I must apologize very much for not being able to post this fic and having to post this on christmas morning, but I did try to have a lot of fluf in it, those Dove and Liam shippers especially will love this chapter!
Sorry again, please don't kill me, you shouldn't kill people on Christmas Day! -whimpers-

"Is it true?" Lalasa inquired, shocked yet incredibly happy for her good friend.
Kel nodded, smiling. She really loved her fiance, and still truly wondered why the hell he chose her over all the scores of ladies he'd been with previously.
Lalasa raised her arms up in despair, and exclaimed. "You could have told me earlier or at least warned me in advance!'
Kel whimpered "I didn't know! I didn't know!" She hadn't seen the extent of Lally's anger and judging by how well she was doing with her new glaive, she really didn't want to find out.
But Lalasa wasn't listening, she was too busy planning the wedding out already. "I'm going to need flowers, lots of flowers, and the dresses, oh the dresses! White dresses, with just a hint of blue ribbon and magicked lace, and the bridesmaids! They'll be blue, the royal blue! And then the reception! It'll all be gold themed! The dresses, oh Kel will look so gorgeous! The husband wil not know what hit him!" she muttered away, leaving Kel flabbergasted, well she supposed the actual wedding decorations and organization would be done by Lally.
Only the dress worried Kel a little bit. The previous dresses she had made, although gorgeous, were not decent enough for Kel's tastes.
Kel shouted, attempting to make Lalasa reveal what dress she had in plan for her but received only, "It's a secret! You'll see!"
The last few things which Lalasa revealed to Kel at the last minute were not up to her liking, but nothing was going to change her determined friend's mind.
Two silhouttes sat on a bench in the rose garden, contented just with each other's company. The moon shone brightly at them, and the pair were in paradise.
"Dove," Prince Liam asked, their relationship had indeed improved and advanced a lot more than since the Lady Dove had first arrived with the delegation. A lot, in fact. Some might eve consider them courting.
She turned her beautiful face to face him. She's even more beautiful with ther moonlight shining on her. Liam smiled.
"Yes?" she said, softly.
"I think-" he began shyly, he been to scared to say these few precious that he reserved for that one special person before. "I think that I'm in love with you."
He was answered with a big grin, and laughter. He looked into her eyes which were full of mirth solemnly.
"I'm guessing you aren't very open with your thoughts!" she smiled, he sure took his time telling her! Of all the places they'd been! Riding in the forest, talking walks in teh garden and on the balcony after banquets, Mid-summer even which was the most sought after time to reveal to someone how they felt!
Seeing his eyes puzzled and sad that he had not gotten the expected romantic response. She quickly said softly. "I think I'm in love with you too."
A few moments later, Dove said, "I know I'm in love with you, but you did take a long time to say so! You're so shy," she teased. "But I love you all the same."
She finished off displaying her affection for him, giving him the kiss of his lifetime, and although he hadn't gotten many kisses before, he knew in his heart that this was the owner of this kiss was the person he wanted to spen his life with.
He broke off, and said one last thing, just to make sure, "You aren't secretly engaged to some prince in some distant country, are you?
She laughed again and Liam said in finality.
"Good, because I would really love it if you would consider being my wife." He took out a ring from his pocket which he had specially made a long time ago, but never had the guts to give. He revealed a beautiful silver band with one diamond which shimmered in the beams of light, the many, many facets in it changing colour every second.
Dove, shocked and flabbergasted, said nothing.
Liam was heartbroken for a second. "I'm sorry, I- I thought things were going so well... obviously there's someone else... Im not exactly a fantastic looker, and I'm not exactly the most romantic guy..." he continued mumbling to himself rebuking himself at what a failure he was when he was interrupted by Dove.
"Yes. On one condtion, you never put yourself down like that again because I love you for who you are, and to me, you are perfect in every way, and I love you so much." she spoke softly, and kissing him on the lips, hugged him so tight, that it confirmed that she was genuinely in love with him, not because of his connections which so many had warned him about, and certainly not to gain access to the Tortallan throne.
Kel and Dom sat in her room (because it was bigger) making and deciding the wedding.
Kel had got the setting from Lalasa, who creatively designed one of the banquet halls of the castle to accomodate quite a few people, chose the setting of the seats and had kept the actual plans to herself. She had only requested one thing of them.
Dear Kel,
Please tell me the exact details of who are going to be the:
-bridesmaids,
-maid of honour,
-best man,
and
-ring bearer. (note from author-I'm not sure if that's what it's called)
Signed,
Lalasa
p.s. Please send them back to me quickly and alert them to come to me as soon as possible to get them measured. I have recently decided to try out designing men's clothing and have foudn myself quite proficient. I already have yours and Dom's measurements, so you have no need to come down.
"I didn't know you visited Lalasa!" Kel said.
"I went to ask her on... er... advice on how to woo -shall I say- you." he blushed.
"Oh."
He continued, "She insisted on talking my measurement, saying 'Just in case I need them.'"
"Ah, okay, well, Lalasa is a very persistent woman, I think we need to answer her question very soon."
They both thought for a while and dcided that Neal, despite his meatheadness would be the perfect best man, the maid of honour would be Yuki, the bridesmaids would be Shinko, Lalasa and Adie (who was engaged, but not yet married), and the ring bearer would a be Dom's young 5 year old cousin whom Kel had not met yet but apparently ad the cutest little face. This discussion took quite a while, discussing who was going to be who, but by the end, they both felt that they looked very much forward to their wedding.
Dom, especially, because he couldn't think who else he could possibly marry above his own beloved. Smiling, really hoping that this was not a dream that he was really marrying the love of his life coming midwinter, he kissed his bride.
Aargh... very sorry again, due to sleeping at 2:00 am and waking up at 11 pm, and then finding someone at the computer, I couldn't post this early enough even though I had prepare everyone last night, or shall I say morning...
Sorry
Merry Christmas
