"Get up you sleepy head you're getting married today!" _Crash_!

I opened my eyes to a splitting head, and earache. Thackery was in my room, and broken pieces of what looked like one of the saucers to our tea sets for our tea parties. I looked at him, and smiled. I jumped out of bed, and picked him up starting to dance with him.

"I'm getting married Thackery, old pal, and my best man. Now, we have how long until the ceremony because I need to practice my vows," I inquired as I walked into my bathroom to take my bath.

"Let's see, you slept for what seemed like ages. It's past lunchtime. It's two o'clock and the ceremony is at six. So, you have four hours," Thackery relayed the information.

I looked at him, "First, you're cleaning up those broken pieces of what used to be saucers. Second, I want you to get my black suit out my closet with my white button up shirt, vest, and tie. Third, I want you to get out my black shoes. Fourth, I want you to get out my black socks. Finally, don't touch my hat or I'll throw our best teapot at your face!"

Thackery giggled as I slammed my bathroom door. I took my bath, drained the water, brushed my teeth, and shaved. I walked out in clean underclothes saying my vows under my breath. I put on my socks, my pants, white button up shirt, white vest, white tie, and my black coat. I finished my vows, and picked up Alice's wedding band. I placed it in my inside coat pocket because I'm not giving it to Thackery until we get up to the altar. Thackery walked in with some cookies, and tea. He smiled at me, and placed the tray on the nightstand.

"Tarrant, you look great. You're happy and it makes me happy. I know this marriage will last because of the way you two are with each other. It's true love, Tarrant. That's why I never found another Tessa," Thackery hung his head remembering his wife that got killed on the Horunvendush Day.

We sat, drank tea, and ate cookies. I decided now was the appropriate time to ask Thackery about the night of the Frabjous Day Ball on why he was so calm.

"Thackery, on the night of the Frabjous Day Ball, you were calm, and you said the kindest words to me. What happened old friend?" I decided to let my curiosity win on this one.

He answered me with something I wasn't prepared to hear, "Since the White Queen is back in power and peace is being restored to Underland, I decided to return to the way I used to be before I became mad. I was a husband, and a father to be then the Jabberwocky came and took away my wife and unborn children. I want to be that Hare again Tarrant. You are moving on with Alice, and I need to calm down so I can find someone who would love me and marry me. Who would want to marry a hare that's mad?"

Thackery hasn't said a word about Tessa since the Horunvendush Day, and to hear him talk about her again; he must want to move on like I am.

I decided to give him some words of encouragement, "Well, you need to stop breaking things on people. What helped me when I went with Alice where she lived, I would take in deep breaths, and exhale while counting down from ten in my head; therefore, I would not go into hysterics or get angry…"

We continued on for three hours. It was about that time for us to leave for the castle. There was a knock at the door. Good thing we cleaned up because I would have panicked. I picked up my suitcase, we walked to the door, grabbed my black hat, put it on, and opened the door. The carriage was there; the footman picked up my suitcase, and we got in. The footman closed the door, and hopped on the back. The carriage took off, and before we knew it the castle was upon us. White rose garland, and wreaths were draped over the entrance walls of the castle. Mirana out did herself again. The carriage stopped, I jumped out the carriage, and so did Thackery. The footman carried my luggage into the castle to the room Alice, and I will share tonight. We walked into the castle, and Nivens was there to escort people to the ceremony. We passed up Nivens, and walked into the East courtyard. When we finally bypassed everyone telling me congratulations, it was ten minutes till show time. We walked up to the altar, and stood by the officiate. I reached into my pocket, and told Thackery to put the ring into his inner jacket pocket. He did, and the music started. Mallymkun walked down the aisle in her beautiful maid of honor dress. It was a light green chiffon dress with chiffon straps that hang down the back to train. The bridal march played and everyone stood up. Here was Mirana in her best white gown but Alice outshined her today. Mirana walked Alice down the aisle. Alice looked breath taking. The dress was to die for. It was a white taffeta dress with crystal beaded scalloped lace which created the off-the-shoulder neckline with a draped detail on the torso. There were two-tiered, asymmetrical overskirts with pleated edging on the multi-layered ruffled skirt that continued around onto the train. She was beautiful. They reached us. Mirana kissed Alice's cheek, and gave Alice's hand to me.

I took her hand, and whispered, "Beautiful."

She whispered, "Handsome."

We walked up into the gazebo, and a blue butterfly landed on her white rose bouquet. Absolem came for the ceremony, and I was so happy.

"Dear Underlandians, we are gathered today to witness our two heroes, Mr. Tarrant Hightopp and Miss Alice Kingsleigh, to join in matrimony. This is another celebration we'll never forget for years to come. This day will be a symbol of peace and happiness which was brought back to Underland. I believe our bride and groom wrote their own vows. Mr. Hightopp, you may say your vows," the officiate started the ceremony and now gave me the floor.

I began my vows, "From the moment we met the second time, I knew you would be a part of my life. We've been through many life and death situations before the Frabjous Day. And through those times, my love for you had strengthened to an undying love. I was beaten, strangled, and almost beheaded; however, they couldn't make me stop loving you. Alice Kingsleigh, I vow right here and now to love you, and respect you until the end of Underland."

The officiate turned to Alice, and she began, "From the moment we met the second time, I knew you would be special to me. You knew the whole time that I was that Alice who would save Underland from an evil queen. You believed in me when everyone else thought Underland was doomed. When I thought I was going to lose you, it was like the life was being ripped out of me. I almost died battling that Jabberwocky but it was my love for you that helped me destroy that ugly creature. Tarrant Hightopp, I vow right here and now to love you, and respect you until the end of Underland."

The officiate turned to Thackery for Alice's ring. He gave it to him, and he gave me the ring, and I placed it on her left ring finger. He told me to repeat after him.

I repeated, "Alice take this ring as a symbol of my undying love which resembles the circle that has no beginning and no end," and slid the ring on her finger.

The officiate turned to Mallymkun for my ring. She gave the ring to him, he gave it to Alice, and she placed it on my left ring finger. He told her to repeat after him.

She repeated, "Tarrant take this ring as a symbol of my undying love which resembles the circle that has no beginning and no end," and slid the ring on my finger.

"By the power vested in me, and all of Underland, I pronounce you husband and wife. Tarrant, you may kiss the bride."

I replied, "My pleasure," and brought her lips to mine for a long gentle kiss.

Everyone cheered, and the exit music began to play. We broke the kiss, and walked out. Absolem flew away as we walked down the aisle, and into the castle for the reception. Before we made our entrance to the reception, I wanted to take her to the balcony outside our room. We walked up the stairs, and down the hall. We walked to the balcony, and looked at the sunset. I wrapped my arms around her, and gazed into her eyes. She wrapped her arms around my neck, and she gazed into my eyes.

I smiled, "You are absolutely beautiful, my wife. You outshined Mirana today."

She laughed, "I don't think so. Did you see the gown she was wearing? No one can look better than Mirana, my dear husband."

"You did today. Are you ready to dance the night away then retire to our room where forever will begin?" I leaned my head to where my lips were inches from hers.

She whispered, "Yes," and kissed my lips.

I gave her my arm, and she took it. We walked down the hall and when we reached the stairs cheers just erupted through the whole castle. Nivens blew his trumpet and I knew what came next.

He announced, "Mr. and Mrs. Tarrant Hightopp."

We walked down the stairs, and led everyone to the ballroom. The music started, and we began our first dance. We swayed to the music, and she rested her head on my chest. I kissed her head, and she lifted it up. I twirled her around, and pulled her closer to me. We continued to sway to the music, and when the end came, I dipped her, and gave her a long gentle kiss. A folk song played, and we stayed on the floor while the rest joined us. It was the same folk dance we danced to at the Frabjous Day ball. Alice remembered it, and I was impressed. After the huge circle, the men spun their partner out the circle, and into couples. Alice and I joined our hands. She went right, and I did to. Then we went left. We spun each other around. We went left then right, and I spun her around. We joined the big circle again. If this dance was danced at a wedding like in our case, the bride and groom are spotlighted last, and it ended when they finish. Mirana and Duke Lucas Bellingman started the couple spotlight. We stayed in the circle for every couple. I was getting tired of being in the circle for so long. I was being very careful to not step on Alice's dress. Finally, it was our turn. I heard Thackery cheering us on. I smiled as I twirled Alice into the center. Our right palms touched, and we quickly spun away from each other. Then our left palms touched, and we quickly spun away from each other. We came back to each other, and I picked her up in my arms then spun around. I placed her back down, and dipped her signaling the end. Everyone cheered, and a slow song played as we were lead to the cake table. Alice and I cut the cake, and feed each other. It was time for the tossing of the bouquet. All the single women even Mirana gathered behind Alice. She tossed, and Mirana caught it. It was our last slow dance. My nerves were getting in overdrive because of what's to come. I pulled Alice to me, and we swayed to the music. She could tell my nerves were in overdrive, and started to talk to me.

"You're heart is beating very fast. Are you alright?" she asked me getting worried.

I smiled, "Just anxious for what's to come after this song. Please tell me you're just as nervous as I am."

She smiled, and replied, "I'm extremely nervous. I just hope it doesn't hurt like every woman said it would."

"I'll be as gentle as possible," I reassured her.

She smiled, "I know you will. However, I was told it doesn't matter how gentle you are, it still hurts once that part breaks."

I started to turn beet red. She laughed at how modest I was. She played in my hair, and I looked down at her.

"Tarrant, it'll be alright. It is my first time, too. We learn with experience. How many times had we come close to giving into the passion?" she tried to get me to calm down.

My eyes must have changed to a darker green, "I don't know if I can finish this song. You're seducing me, Mrs. Hightopp, and I'll have to put a stop to that."

She laughed, and brought me in for a long hard passionate kiss. The song ended, and I dipped her. She smiled at me because my eyes were probably dark emerald by now. We waved good bye to everyone, and I led her to the stairs. When the folk song started up, she and I took off in a sprint up the stairs. We ran down the hall, and I blocked the door before she opened it. She looked at me with a questionable expression. I opened the door, picked her up, and carried her into the room closing the door with my right foot. I put her down, placed my hand on her cheek, and my arm around her waist. She smiled at me, and I pulled her in for a long, deep, passionate kiss. She wrapped her arms around my neck, and pulled herself closer to me to where I can feel every curve of her body. I knew right there my eyes changed to the dark emerald green. _Gonadh,_ I couldn't take it anymore. I spun her around, and carefully unzipped her dress. She removed the dress, and turned around. She started by removing my hat. I got a wicked smile, and we undressed each other. I picked her up, and fell on the bed on top of her. Our lips met for another passionate kiss.

After I broke the kiss, I gazed into her eyes, and admired her.

"You're so beautiful, love," I said breathlessly as my hand glazed her cheek.

"Tarrant, make love to me," she begged, and I never tell her no when she begs.

I smiled, "My pleasure," and my lips met hers for a very heated very lustful kiss.

Alice wrapped her arms around my neck, and deepened the kiss by slipping her tongue into my mouth. I responded by stroking her tongue with mine. Butter and toast, she tasted lovely. I broke the kiss, and I began to love on her. No matter where I kissed and played, Alice's body would respond in a way that I knew she was enjoying this.

"Oh, Tarrant," she sighed.

When I finished loving her, I knew she was ready for me.

"Ready for me, love?"

Alice flipped to where I was on bottom, and she seductively said, "I didn't love on you yet."

I knew my eyes were changing colors due to the smile on her face. She began loving on me like I just loved on her moments ago. I feel like a man…a man in love with a beautiful woman. No one has ever loved on me like Alice was loving on me at this moment.

"Oh, Alice," I sighed, and she returned her gaze to me…she was ready now.

In one quick motion, Alice was back on bottom and she let out an excited squeal.

"Are you ready?"

Alice nodded and breathless stated, "Yes."

I smiled, and settled myself to go in. I looked into her eyes.

I apologized ahead of time, "If I hurt you, I'm so sorry, love."

She bit her lower lip as I entered her all the way, and she inhaled sharply. I wanted to pull out so bad because I knew I was hurting her.

"I'll pull out if you want me to," I reassured her.

She put her hands on my face for me to look at her, "No, you won't. Perhaps if you start moving, it will ease the pain."

I leaned forward, and kissed her. I started moving in, and out of her. _GONADH_, it felt so good, and Alice agreed with me. She belonged to me, and I was hers. No words could describe this feeling. She grabbed onto the pillows as I moved faster. The room was getting hotter and hotter with each movement we made. I don't know how much longer I can go. Alice pushed me past endurance when she slipped her tongue inside my mouth, and having it play battle with mine. We moaned together as we each got loved on, and geez she's starting to tighten up. My breathing was way too shallow for me to continue on like this.

"Alice, I can't hold on much longer love," I tried to hold back but it's not working.

She answered me, "I can't hold on much longer either; just let it go."

I quickened my pace, Alice squeezed her eyes shut, we both moaned, and sure enough it was over in two quick motions. I stopped, and placed all my weight on her. I kissed her passionately on the lips then we gazed into each other's eyes.

"Told you we would pick up where we left off," I seductively nibbled at her ear.

She giggled, and sighed, "That was amazing, Tarrant. You were very gentle with me. Next time, give into the madness, and let's see how it would be."

I shot my head up, and my eyes changed back to their natural light green, "If I do that, I will hurt you. Alice, you are my life, and I don't want to give into it with a high risk of hurting you."

"I trust you. I know you won't hurt me. If you're not comfortable, then don't. But it was still amazing; you being inside me, and still are," she nibbled on my ear.

I laughed, and exclaimed, "Keep that up and it will be Round 2."

We laughed together, and I placed my head next to hers on the pillow. I began to trace her cleavage line, and she giggled due to being ticklish.

I gazed into her eyes, "You're beautiful. I felt as if I was in paradise when I was inside you."

"Next time, I'll be in control," she pushed me to where I was on my back, and she was leaning on top of me.

My eyes darkened back up, "You're pushing it love."

She giggled, and kissed me softly. After we kissed, we laid under the covers. She rested her head on my chest, and I wrapped my arms around her. She looked at me, and I at her. She kissed me one last time.

"Good night, my husband. I'll see you in the morning. I love you," she leaned in, and kissed me again.

"Good night, my wife. I'll see you in the morning. I love you, too," I kissed her again, and we both closed our eyes letting sleep take us.

The sun shone in from the balcony, and I opened my eyes. I looked toward the balcony, and something shiny caught my eye on the nightstand. It was a silver teapot with white and silver teacups. I saw a white envelope and I picked it up. It had my name on it. I opened it up, and it read:

_Tarrant and Alice,_

_I thought you would love your first tea as a married couple. Have fun on the honeymoon._

_Thackery Earwicket_

He made my morning already. I got out of bed, and found my robe. I put it on, and started making my tea. Alice stirred. I turned to look at her.

"Let me make it for you," she moved toward me.

She poured the tea into the cup. She put in three sugars, got one from me, and two twists of lemon. I smiled at her, and stirred my tea. She went to grab her cup, but I was too quick for her. I put in two sugars, got one from her, and a twist of lemon. She smiled as she took the cup, and stirred the tea. She got up, and put on my mother's robe.

I kissed her, and said, "Good morning, my wife."

She smiled, "Good morning, my husband."

We kissed again, and walked out to the balcony to drink our tea, and enjoy the scenery. We walked to the railing, and looked out. I wrapped my arm around her, and sipped my tea. She rested her head on my shoulder after she took a sip of hers. I noticed a cushioned bench to my right, and I decided to lead us to it. We sat down, and she sat on my lap. She was the one who broke the silence.

She placed her head on mine, "I wanted to tell you I enjoyed last night. It was absolutely amazing."

I smiled, and scratched her back, "It was everything I imagined, and beyond. You are so beautiful, Alice, and you felt wonderful like those silk sheets. I can't wait to do that again."

She sipped her tea, and whispered in my ear, "Perhaps you're in for a quickie?"

I almost spat out my tea, but choked instead. She got off my lap, and started hitting my back. Finally, I was able to reply.

"A quickie you want; well, love, a quickie you'll get," I seductively mumbled, and kissed her neck.

The response I got from her; _Gonadh_, if there wouldn't be anyone down below, I would've taken her right there. When we finished our tea, I stood up, picked her up, and walked back into the room. I tossed her on the bed, walked to the door, locked it, and removed my robe. Alice removed her robe, and tossed it to the ground. I ran, and jumped into the bed on top of her. I leaned forward, and our lips met for a deep passionate kiss. She moaned, and my hands felt the curves of her body. I kissed my way down her body to begin the play time. She called out my name and it reassured me that I was doing my part well. I'm starting to feel sorry for those pillows because she was squeezing the life out of them. She started begging.

"Tarrant…_sigh_…I want you…_sigh_…inside me…now!" she was ready for me, and I don't like to tell a woman no.

I looked into her eyes, she smiled, and I knew my eyes were the dark emerald green because that's the color they are when I'm aroused, "Get ready 'cause I'm goin' in."

I positioned myself to where it should go in easily. I made my way in, and it was like a bolt of electricity shot through me. In Alice's expression, she had the same sensation. I started moving myself in, and out of her. She was breathing much harder, and shallower. She pulled me down to kiss her. She inserted her tongue inside my mouth, and played tongue war with my tongue. We both parted the kiss, and I laid my forehead against hers. In and out I moved, she continued to breathe harder, and even shallower. Then, she said one word that almost let the madness loose.

She sighed in the heat of passion, "Faster."

I looked into her eyes, and apparently the color changed. From what I saw in her eyes, my eye color was the dark emerald green with a gold outline. The only time the gold color came was when the madness was slowly coming out in its glory.

Not in this case, I smiled at her, and whispered passionately, "Ma pleasya love."

I thrust myself into her so hard she inhaled very sharply, and moaned very loud. _Math Dia, _this was amazing. The faster I moved the wetter she became. _Clannadh, _she's tightening up around me. I could feel that tingling sensation building up. Alice wrapped her arms around me, and her finger nails dug into my skin...ouch!

She gasped, "Tarrant…_sigh_…I can't hold out…_sigh_…much longer!"

I gasped, "Neither…_sigh…_can I!"

"Then don't hold back," she gave me permission to let it go.

Sure enough, one powerful thrust inside her, and it was over. I collapsed onto her letting my weight bare down on her. We were both attempting to catch our breath as we laid there. I kissed her lips so tenderly, and I rested my forehead on top of hers.

She smiled at me, "It gets better and better."

I agreed, "It sure does love. Why don't we go take a bath before we head off to our honeymoon location?"

"Let's take one together," she nibbled my ear.

I looked into her eyes, and I knew my eyes were so dark they were almost black because having her in the tub with me would fulfill my fantasy. I got up, out of her, and ran into the bathroom to begin drawing the water. I heard her laughing, getting up, and walked to our suitcases. She picked out my brown suit, and brown hat. She picked out her blue dress, and laid it down on the bed. She ran into the bathroom, and closed the door behind her. I turned around; she walked up to me, and pulled me into a hard passionate kiss. I reached behind me, and shut off the water. I climbed into the tub, and she followed me in. We broke the kiss to breathe. I smiled at her, and grabbed a sponge to wash her. She looked at me lathering up the sponge. I started washing her. I got her to turn around so I could wash her back. I rinsed her off, and she grabbed the sponge from me.

"It's my turn to wash you," she whispered into my ear, and I'm more than positive my eyes changed to darker green not emerald but three shades lighter.

She lathered up the sponge, and began to wash me. She washed me. She made me turn around to wash my back. She rinsed me off, and I pulled her close to me. Gracious, how I wanted to take her there but we would be running late to our honeymoon destination. I gave her a long passionate kiss, and got out. I dried myself off with the towel, and she grabbed it from me. She dried herself off, and we both brushed our teeth. We both walked into the room, and changed into our clothes. After we changed, we walked around the room one more time to make sure we packed everything. I found my robe, picked it up, folded it, and placed it into my suitcase. Alice picked up hers, folded it, and placed it into her suitcase. I picked up our suitcases, unlocked the door, and we walked out the room. I closed the door behind us, and we walked down the stairs. We had a waiting party by the entrance to the castle. The footman of our carriage picked up our luggage, and we were left with our friends to tell farewell to.

Mirana was the first to speak, "Have fun, and don't be too naughty."

Alice hugged her, and I hugged her, "Thank you for everything, Mirana. The whole ceremony was beautiful."

Thackery smiled wickedly at us, "Have fun on the honeymoon, and have lots of…"

"**Gah!** We got it old man. Be extremely naughty. I could do that," I interrupted him before he would have made me embarrassed, and what I said got a tap from Alice.

We hugged him farewell. Nivens hugged us farewell.

"Play nicely, and bring home a souvenir or two," he winked at us.

Alice and I looked at each other, and blushed. We hugged him farewell, and Mallymkun was the last one. I held out my hand for her to climb in it. She looked at me, and Alice.

"Go have fun, and do everything I wouldn't do," she winked at us.

We both smiled at her. I hugged her farewell, and passed her to Alice. I'm so happy she finally became Alice's friend. They hugged each other, and Mally whispered something into Alice's ear which made her laugh hysterics.

"I'll try to refrain myself," Alice told her, and winked at her.

She placed Mally down, and I offered my arm to her. She took it, and we walked out the castle. Where was everyone else, outside waiting to throw rice at us as we passed. We saw what was about to happen. We took off in a sprint to the carriage, and the rice was thrown. I helped her in, and I got in after her. We waved to everyone as we pulled out the castle. We sat back, and I started dusting off the rice from me. Alice started brushing off the rice from her dress. I took off my hat, and tipped it over. Alice was having trouble with her hair. I started picking out rice from her hair. I started chuckling at how much rice was in her hair, and how I looked like a monkey picking off lice from my mate's back.

"It's not funny!" she cried, and picked rice out her hair.

"I'm not laughing at you, love. I'm laughing at myself. I look like a monkey picking lice off my mate," I still laughed as I got the rice out her hair from the back and right side.

I got up, and knelt down to get the other side. She got the bottom but the top was bad.

She giggled, "I should have told Mirana bubbles instead of rice."

I nodded, "Yes, you should have. Now, you are rice free. Good thing my hat was in the way. I think they were aiming for my hat anyway."

"Where are we going? You still never told me where we are spending our honeymoon," she was curious but I wanted to keep it a secret.

I smiled, "All I'm going to tell you is my parents went there for their anniversaries, and left my brothers, sisters, and myself with a baby sitter. I asked my parents about it before the Horunvendush Day, and told me where it was. I vowed on Bullockin Day, the day after Horunvendush, that when I marry I will take my wife there for our honeymoon. So, that's where we're going. Don't ask anymore. However, it is a two day travel to get there."

"Two days!" Alice shouted.

She just groaned, and I laughed as we rode off into the sunset.
