The romance between Holly and Arty was inevitable, after Minerva was-er- neutralized by a certain dry cleaning bill sent by a certain punch-covered genius.
*14 years ago*
Artemis and Holly got back together before one could say "Fairy" (though if you did, Foaly would be forced to mind-wipe you).
Their wedding followed in due course, complete with multiple odd events.
Genius guest Minerva (she still was a family friend, although a far less wealthy one considering the price of the wrecked suit) would not stop flirting with Kelp.
Juliet, maid of honor, had brought Kevin, the nephew she had met at the Ball last year. The two had eloped, their relationship layered with adventures.
The Diggums' (Mulch, his new wife, and two children, Marissa and Mulch Jr.) made up their rest of the wedding party, with Foaly tin-capped and proud as best man.
Of course, one first wonders at the absence of Butler. He missed the wedding, insisting that he would be watching from afar, and blatantly refusing to answer any of Artemis's questions.
The wedding began simply, observing the fairy tradition of no flower girl. A flower girl was "a waste of living beings" according to the book.
They had positioned a white screen behind the altar, made from thin rice paper. The white isle was laced with rice paper giving the autumn Fowl manor the picturesque wedding location.
The ring bearer, little Mulch Jr., walked up the podium and after a long ceremony (and lots of tears by both Artemis's parents and the wedding party) they placed rings on each other's fingers and kissed, in love.
