Annabeth
The next six months were insane. We decided to get married on May 28, he proposed in early November.
The wedding would be small, only close friends and family members. Piper would be my maid of honor, Hazel and Reyna were my other bridesmaids. Jason was Percy's best man, Leo and Frank were the other groomsmen.
The day of the wedding came so quickly, we didn't really realize how the time had flown by. Piper insisted on a simple dress to accent my figure. I had no idea about wedding dresses so I just went along with it and ended up loving the dress she chose. The simple ivory dress had intricate beading around the bodice and a silver sash around the waist. She said that I had to wear these six inch stilettos that I couldn't walk in. I drew the line there and decided to wear a pair of white Converse with writing around the edges. The writing was mostly Bible verse references and some quotes too and even a few song lyrics.
The actually ceremony was a blur, I don't remember most of it- but I remember realizing afterwards that I was married to my best friend, a binding contract to the man I love.
"Annabeth Chase Jackson, what a lovely name for a lovely lady!" Percy laughed.
"You're still my Seaweed Brain, you'll never be anything else," I told him, smiling.
"Hey- Perce?"
"Yes, darling?"
"What if we left New York? Hypothetically, of course. Where would we go?"
"Well- we could go anywhere, but we'd eventually have to settle somewhere. What were you thinking about?"
"I dunno, I was just thinking of leaving the architecture firm."
"Annabeth, why? You love it there. All of our friends are in New York too," he reasoned.
"I know, it's just… I dunno, I can't get it out of my head. One of the ladies at work, Louise, mentioned that there's a beautiful beach in France, she said she has a summer house there."
"Could you talk to her about renting it for a couple weeks?"
"Sure, I'll ask her tomorrow."
I realized that I was still wearing the wedding dress.
"Percy?"
"Huh?"
"Never mind." I slowly walked to my room and changed into fleece pants and a t-shirt. I couldn't find my sweater, I'd have to ask Percy if he'd seen it anywhere.
Walking into the main room, I found Percy making tea.
"Wise Girl, stay there for a second and close your eyes," he said, rushing out of the room.
I reluctantly did as he said and he soon came back. He draped a warm sweating right out of the drying around me.
"You know me so well," I giggled.
For awhile I had totally forgotten about hacking for Nico, it was amazing not to have to worry about it and being caught. I knew that I'd eventually have to tell Percy.
We ended up going to that beach in France for a couple weeks, the beautiful scenery was perfect.
