You will probably notice that some of this have parts from the old story, I was too lazy to re-write it cause it tied in so well, enjoy
After what had seemed like months Atem & Loretta were finally due to get married & the day was getting closer. So much had happened over the last few weeks, with permission from the Pharaoh, Shada & Ishizu had started courting.
It was a warm & very sunny day in Egypt like all days, today though both Atem & Loretta were enjoying it by relaxing in their new chairs by the pool. Reaching his hand over to touch Loretta's Atem turned his head to look over at his beautiful sun bathing Fiance' who was sound asleep "Poor Loretta, she's been studying so hard that she's worn herself out, I cant believe that tomorrow she is going to be my Queen" He thought with a smile as he watched her stomach slowly rise & fall with her breathing.
After a while Loretta began to stir, with her eyes slowly fluttering open she had to blink a few times to let her eyes adjust to the bright sun, letting out a small yawn Loretta turned her head to look over at Atem "How long have I been asleep for..." she said letting out another small yawn & giving Atem a sleepy smile "I think you have been asleep for a couple of hours" he said with a chuckled "Oh? That long? I was just so warm & comfortable, I didnt mean to go to sleep" she said with a giggle "You deserve a break Loretta, I know you have been studying very hard & for someone as young as yourself that isn't use to Royal protocol you have been doing very well" he said with a nod "Thank you Atem, that is very sweet of you to say...".
Getting up & sitting sideways on Atem's lap with her arms around his neck she rested her forehead on his "Its all thanks to you for being so supportive & helping me so much, I dont know where I'd be without you" said Loretta as she gave him a short but passionate kiss "Wow..." thought Atem as he went from wide-eyed in surprise to a softened smirk "I love you, Loretta & I think you are going to make a wonderful Queen but please dont overwork yourself" he said kissing her cheek "I'll try not too but I just want to learn everything that I need to know so I can be your 'wonderful' Queen" she said with a smirk "You will be fine, I know you will" he said as he sat forward & gave her a hug.
As they day went on the rest of the Palace staff lead by Atem went about preparing the Throne room & hallways for the wedding tomorrow, nobody could believe that it had been two weeks since Loretta had come to the Palace. I was going to be a big day so it was reccomended that everyone has an early night, even though the wedding wasn't until the afternoon alot had to be done.
The next day
All the preparations had finally been done, it was now time for Loretta & Atem's wedding, Everyone was busy finishing up decorating the main hall & in the throne room where the wedding was to commence. It had been twenty-four hours since Atem had seen Loretta & he was missing her but today was the big day & he was finally going to see the love of his life. "Are you ready to go my Pharaoh?" said Mahad Bowing " Yes i am, please lead the way, Mahad im glad to have you by my side for this day" he said with a slight chuckle " Thank you Atem, the pleasure is all mine" said Mahad with a smile. "Come on let's go, I best not be late to my own wedding," Said Atem with a chuckle as he walked out the door.
Meanwhile on the other side of the palace Loretta was helping Mana & Isis get ready while they were helping her, " Wow Loretta, you look Beautiful" said Mana as she placed the last little touch to Loretta's hairstyle & adding her small gold crown "Thank you two so much, i couldn't have done any of this by myself & you two both look beautiful as well, Shada will be amazed to see you Isis" said Loretta with a giggle "Thank you Loretta" Said Isis & Mana bowing .
Now it was Time for the wedding, everyone stood quietly chatting amongst themselves, standing right up the front were Loretta's Parents along with her Sisters & Younger Brother were all seated at the front ready & waiting. " Are you ok Pharaoh" said Rosetta looking at Atem, who had his hands clenched so tight at his sides that his knuckles were almost white " Ive never been this nervous in my whole life" said Atem "Its ok, there's no need to be nervous, you only have to repeat what Seto says & then he will do the rest" Said, Rosetta, as she watched Atem gradually starting to calm down. Seeing Loretta walking up the pathway made for her both Seto & Atem gasped.
"Wow," Said Seto & Atem in unison " Seto!" said Atem with a growl in his voice as he narrowed his eyes at his cousin "What?" said Seto looking slightly embarrassed. Loretta was in a long, pure white halter neck dress, with a simple gold pattern down the front.
Finally, after what seemed like minutes & not seconds to Atem, Loretta got to him, taking her hand he said to her" you look Beautiful Loretta". Looking at Atem, Loretta noticed he was in a white tunic but his normal blue shendyt was white with gold edges. He more or less looked the same except for his normal Purple cape was Royal blue " Your pretty handsome yourself Atem" said Loretta.
"Excuse me Everyone" said Seto in a loud voice so that everyone would pay attention " We are all here to witness the Marriage between Pharaoh Atem & Princess Loretta" After 20 minutes or so of Seto talking, Loretta & Atem said there vows & finally Seto said "Pharaoh, you may now kiss your bride".
Turning around to look at Loretta "Thank you for making this day so special for me, I Love you" said Atem as his eyes welled up with happy tears " I Love you too, Atem" said Loretta as she kissed him softly. "Congratulations" said Seto as Atem & Loretta turned around to walk back down the aisle together "Well done Loretta, we are so proud of you" said Rosetta to her Loretta as she stopped to give her Mother & Father a hug "Thank you so much, mum , i wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you & Dad".
As Loretta & Atem got to the doorway Atem turned back to his new family & friends" I could i have everyone's attention please, There will be a banquet on for everyone in the Dining hall in half an hour, please socialize amongst yourself while Loretta & I change our attire"
Ten to fifteen minutes later as planned Loretta & Atem came back into the dining hall hand in hand where everyone was , this time Loretta was in a short white dress with the same gold pattern on the front but with thin over the shoulder straps, Atem on the other hand was still in his white tunic top but instead was wearing a sapphire blue shendyt which matched his cape, In unison Seto & Mahad both said " Please bow for Pharaoh Atem & our new Queen, Loretta" as they walked down the middle of the pathway that was made way for them.
After dinner it was time for Loretta's family to go home, saying their goodbyes Atem took Loretta by the hand & started to head down the hallway to their chambers, looking down at the ground & then back up & over at Atem, Loretta smiled "I can't believe this is going to be our first night sleeping together...you can do this Loretta, don't be nervous"
Sensing her slight distress he gave her hand a small squeeze "Are you nervous Loretta?" said Atem as he looked her sympathetically as she nodded sheepishly "Its ok, we will take it as slow as you want me too, there is no rush for us to do anything, I want both of us to enjoy our first night together..." he said with a nervous chuckle "And to be honest I am a little bit nervous as well" "I trust you Atem, from the first day we met you treated me with respect & if it expected of us to consummate our marriage then I am willing to go along with tradition" "Only if you are sure Loretta as I said there is no rush..." he said as they stopped outside his chamber door "I will let you get changed in your own room if your not comfortable doing it in my presence & then you can come in once you are changed, I might take a while though" he chuckled again looking at down at his hands & all the gold bands on his shins, giggling in responce Loretta put her hand on his shoulder "Give me 5 minutes & then i can help you, if you would like me to?"
