Letter IV, September 10, MMX
Prim,
I arrived in the capital last night and am staying in Mom's new house. It is a beautiful, large, light blue house with plenty of rooms. You would love it.
Tonight is the wedding. Peeta and I will come together tonight and become a married couple. The ceremony begins at 6 o'clock. I have exactly three hours to relax and then be turned over to my original prep team from the Hunger Games. They will help me prepare for the service. My skin will be unpainted but accented with a few sparkles to bring out my "natural beauty" (according to Octavia). Then I will be dressed in my long white wedding gown and will be chauffeured over to the capital church.
Well, the wedding is over and Peeta and I are officially husband and wife. The wedding was interesting . . . There were many tears and wide smiles of our friends and family.
There was just one problem, Gale showed up. I don't know how he found out about the wedding but he was there all right, and he was NOT happy. He almost ruined the whole wedding! When the ceremony was at its point he decided to get up and stomp out of the room leaving everything a mess in his path. The wedding continued like nothing happened but the situation couldn't stop playing in my mind. How could he do this to me? I thought he was my friend no matter what happened. Apparently I was wrong.
I'm trying my best to forget the whole thing. So far it is not working. Anyway, we are back at Mom's and will stay here for another week. Then we will return to District 12 to start our new life.
Love, Katniss
PS: The primroses were the brightest and biggest I have ever seen and I have a feeling you had something to do with it. Thanks for letting me know you are and always will be with me.
