Annabeth POV

five years earlier

"Oh, Annabeth! You look amazing!" Piper says admiring my wedding dress. "Thank you so much! Does it hide the bump?" I ask her. Eric and I had a little slip up a few months ago and I was starting to show. "Yes! Really you can't even tell." "Okay, whoo, okay. I'm so nervous." I tell her. "Don't be. Get ready." she says walking out of the room.

~LINEBREAK~

"Eric, please repeat after me. "I, Eric, take you, Annabeth," "I, Eric, take you, Annabeth," " to be my lawfully wedded wife." " to be my lawfully wedded wife." "To have and to hold," "To have and to hold," " from this day forward," " from this day forward," " until death do us part." " until death do us part."

"Annabeth, please repeat after me. "I, Annabeth, take you, Eric," "I, Annabeth, take you, Eric," " to be my lawfully wedded husband." " to be my lawfully wedded husband." "To have and to hold," "To have and to hold," " from this day forward," " from this day forward," " until death do us part." " until death do us part."

"Do you, Eric, take Annabeth to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you swear before the gods and this company that you will love, honor, cherish, respect, and comfort her, in good times and bad, in sickness and in health? Do you promise to share your joys and sorrows, help her when she needs help and turn to her first when you need help, and forsaking all others, to be faithful to her alone?" says the minister. "I do." He replies

"May I have the rings?" the minister says. The ring bearer, Eric's little brother, brings us them and Eric puts the ring on my finger and starts talking, "Annabeth, I don't ever want to spend my life with anybody but you. I want to grow old with you and raise a family with you. I love you more than anything and I always will." I put his ring on his finger and I start my vows. "Eric, Eric. I knew from that first conversation that we had that we would get married one day. And here we are saying our vows. I would do anything for you and I know you would do the same for me. I love you more than all the stars in the sky." I say. "You may kiss the bride." the minister says. Eric then grabs my neck and kisses me hard. "Careful, honey. We are already pregnant." I say laughing.

As we walk down the aisle our guests throw bird seed on us and we laugh the whole way out the door.
