TUESDAY
"I DO!" Iko jumped up and down. "I would love to be your Maid of Honor!"
"CO-Maid of Honor; you share the title with Winter," Cinder laughed. Iko continued to jump for joy, as she nodded in agreement.
"I cannot wait to plan – CO-plan your bachelorette party! The festival will be the perfect back drop for the REAL event of the season!" Iko was practically screaming. A royal wedding that she got to help plan, AND she was the Maid of Honor. This was a dream come true! "Who are the Best Men? Who do I get to walk down the aisle with?"
"Thorne and Wolf are the best men, you will walk with Thorne, Winter will walk with Wolf. I wish everyone could be in the wedding, but tradition only allows for a Best Man and a Maid of Honor; we are already pushing the rules by having two of each." Cinder had heard the same speech over and over from Torin on how important tradition was to the Eastern Commonwealth. Screw tradition, she thought, her friends were important to her.
A member of the royal staff stepped into the room. "Your majesty, some of your guests have arrived."
Before Cinder could start to say thank you, Iko squealed and ran to the door. Scarlet and Wolf walked in, quickly stopped by a bear hug from Iko. Scarlet walked over to Cinder and hugged her.
"So I hear it's time for a royal wedding."
