"Helios, didn't expect to see you here." Apollo said to his predecessor, who was standing with Rhode.
"Just like you, I was invited, only with my wife." Helios said to the current sun god.
"Now darling, why don't try to avoid causing an issue here today. Might I remind you that my father will not hesitate to make me return to his realm and destroy you for ruining my brother's wedding?" Rhode said to her husband, not wanting to cause an incident, since this was the first time she's met her brother Percy Jackson and she wanted to make a better impression on him than her pompous brother Triton did.
"Yes darling." Helios said, causing Apollo to say whipped, under his breath.
"Shut up Apollo. Just because you're too immature to get a wife doesn't mean we all are." Helios said as he and Rhode walked off to speak with Despoine and Arion.
"Connor." Hermes said to his boy, since Travis was with Katie.
"Hey dad, what's up?" Connor asked.
"Wanted to know if you got any plans lined up for today?" Hermes asked with a grin.
Connor grinned as well and said "I wish, but Percy and Annabeth would kill me if I tried anything today and Travis is too occupied with Katie to care."
"When was the last time Travis pulled a prank or stole something?" Hermes asked.
"Before he and Katie started dating." Connor said.
"That girl is too good an influence on my son and made him forget himself. I'll make Travis come to his senses." Hermes promised, right as everyone began to take their seats.
Percy was standing at the altar, looking down the aisle, waiting for his beautiful bride to come walking down it.
After Grover, Thalia, Tyson and Rachel had joined him and Aphrodite at the altar, Annabeth finally came walking down the aisle, looking beautiful in her wedding dress and her hair was done up in a bun underneath her veil.
Percy walked down the steps of the altar to meet Annabeth and her father at end of the aisle.
He then took Annabeth's arm in his own and led her up to where Aphrodite was waiting.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness Perseus Jackson and Annabeth Chase become one in holy matrimony. These 2 are more than deserving of this. More deserving than anyone else in this room. However, only because I am required to ask this question, is there anyone, for any reason, dare to find a reason as to why these 2 should not be wed, for if so, please speak now or forever hold your peace." Aphrodite said.
Wisely, everyone remained silent.
"Good. Perseus, please recite your vows for Annabeth." Aphrodite said.
Percy nodded and said "Annabeth, you are without a doubt the most important thing in the world or on Olympus to me. I would go to the ends of the earth to make you happy and be with you. You are the love of my life. My only regret is that I didn't realize it sooner. You're not just my soulmate, you're a part of me I can't live without. And no matter what happens, I will always love you and only you."
Annabeth smiled as she then began to recite her own vows. "Perseus, it's no secret that when we first met I despised you. But overtime, you began to melt my heart and make me realize that I don't need to base the kind of person I am off of my mother. I realize now that I am not perfect and I am okay with that, because I have you. Not realizing that you were the one for me for 4 years and sending you mixed signals will always be my biggest regret. I love you with all my heart and soul and I feel closer to you than I do anyone else."
Aphrodite smiled, as she was happy at the sight of all the true love these 2 shared for each other. After all, as the goddess of love, she could sense the amount of love between people and Percy and Annabeth's love was stronger than anything she'd ever sensed before.
"Perseus, do you take Annabeth to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, good times and bad, for as long as you both shall live?" Aphrodite asked
"I do." Percy said and a wedding band appeared around Annabeth's ring finger.
"And do you Annabeth take Perseus, to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for as long as you both shall live?" Aphrodite asked the bride.
"I do." Annabeth said and a wedding band appeared around Percy's ring finger.
"Then, by the power vested in me by Lord Zeus and the rest of the gods, I hereby pronounce you, man and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Aphrodite said.
Percy kissed Annabeth with such raw passion it was as if their love was new and fresh again.
When they eventually split apart, Aphrodite said "Ladies and gentlemen. I am proud to introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Percy Jackson."
The song Percy and Annabeth had chosen for their first dance was the song forever by the Beach Boys. They chose it because they felt it perfectly defined their love. Something that would truly last forever.
As they danced together, Annabeth couldn't help but listen to the song.
And the love I have you, could make you laugh, I'd talk forever.
Annabeth smiled into her new husband's shoulder.
"So how was today for you?" Percy asked his wife.
"Perfect. Everything was perfect." Annabeth said as she kissed him.
