Guess what? I put up another chapter :D And I am also learning Arabic and Gaelic as of yesterday! Yep. Awesome. I can say quite a lot in Gaelic (from before now) but Arabic is slow going.

And here come the Xes! X's? Xs? Xi? Uh…multiple x.

NATANI'S POV

I was trembling. Absolutely frightened out of my mind! I sat perfectly still as Cassopi, a dryad, fussed with pulling my hair up into a lovely…something…I wasn't really sure what to call it, but it was pretty. She had me all beautified and I had never seen myself looking like this before.

I stood up and examined my dress. It. Was. Perfect. Purest white with gold embroidery on the hem and sleeves and bosom, it flowed out behind me in a glorious train. I was beautiful. I had never been one of those girls who dreamed of her wedding day since I was born as a Moor (Moors were not much for marriage in my time there, but that had changed since Aslan was now welcome there) but looking in the mirror now and seeing myself as a bride I realized why so many girls did.

"This is the last bit of it," Cassopi said, placing an intricately designed silver circlet on my head, a veil was connected to it and it covered my face when she took her hands away. I shed a tear and wiped it away quickly, now was NOT the time to cry.

I squared my shoulders and walked carefully through the door. Mr. Tumnus met me on the other side and complimented me on my appearance.

"Thank you, Mr. Tumnus," I said, my voice quivering in nervousness and excitement. He took my arm and we walked down the hall toward the Throne Room of Cair Paravel.

EDMUND'S POV

She was beautiful. No, beautiful didn't even BEGIN to cover what I saw come through those doors! She was…Heavenly. Her green eyes looked steadily at me as she purposefully walked toward me on Tumnus' arm. I swallowed hard, trying to maintain my composure when all I really wanted to do was run to her and just…hold her forever!

After an ETERNITY of walking down that long aisle of Narnians and foreign guests, she finally reached the place where I was waiting for her. Tumnus bowed and placed her hand in mine and we turned to the dais. Natani's eyes got huge when Aslan stepped out of the crowd. Murmurs spread throughout the room as he approached us.

He faced us when he got up onto the dais and he smiled a Lion's smile at us. His eyes bright with merriment.

"King Edmund the Just of Narnia and Natani of the Moorlands," he began in his beautiful rumbling voice. "We have all come today to witness the vows you will make to each other. Vows that are not to be taken lightly."

Everyone nodded and whispered, "Yes, Aslan."

"Then in the presence of these, your subjects, kneel." Aslan's words were directed at me. I turned to Natani and knelt before her. "Repeat these words. This shall be the vow that binds you to her forever. I, Edmund of Narnia , promise, from this moment until the end of my life, to be faithful to you and you alone."

I cleared my throat. Smooth, Edmund. I chided myself.

"I, Edmund of Narnia, promise, from this moment until the end of my life, to be faithful to you and you alone."

Aslan nodded and continued:

"I will protect and honor you. I will never forsake you for another. I will be constant."

I looked directly into Natani's eyes, meaning these words with my whole being.

"I will protect you and honor you. I will NEVER forsake you for another. I will be constant."

Aslan turned to Natani.

"Kneel, Daughter."

Natani came down to my level, her eyes were shining with unshed tears and I wanted so badly to reach out and hold her.

"Repeat these words. These shall be the vow that binds you to your husband forever: I, Natani of the Moorlands, promise, from this moment until the Heavens rain down, to be loyal to you and you alone."

She repeated those beautiful words to me, her eyes never wavering as she stared back at me.

"I will love and respect you. I will be by your side in all your trials. I will be devoted."

She said them. Her tears finally began to rise in her eyes and I swore they would pour over, but she managed to hold them back.

Aslan laid his giant paw on our hands which were clasped between us and his breath washed over us both.

"Let it be said then," he announced loudly, "In as much as these two individuals have made these vows before all of us, that they are forever bound to each other in love."

The crowd murmured happily their agreements and Aslan removed his paw.

I let go of one of Natani's hand and took the ring that Tumnus brought forth on a velvet pillow. I removed her engagement ring and slipped on the wedding band, then I placed the other over the top of it. She was brought a ring as well and she slowly slipped it on my ring finger. It felt cold and out of place, but I knew that this ring was now just as much as part of me as my arm.

"Individuals you have knelt, now rise as one."

We rose at the same time, never breaking eye contact. Natani smiled so sweetly and my heart started jumping wildly!

"As a representation of sealing these vows, you may now kiss the bride." Aslan's words couldn't have come at a better time. I didn't waste a second and I picked her up into a kiss I had been dreaming of for so long. When we broke apart I swung her in a circle with a laugh and the crowd cheered.

"You are now the Queen of Narnia, my daughter," Aslan's voice interrupted us, "We shall make this official."

A crown was brought forth by a dryad and Natani's eyes shone with extreme excitement. She hugged my arm as the dryad lifted the crown to place it on her head. She knelt slightly and knew enough to stay in the position for a moment.

"Arise, Queen Natani the Courageous."

Courageous…that's a title to be proud of! Natani rose slowly and I saw she was practically glowing with excitement.

"LONG LIVE QUEEN NATANI!" the cheer of all those present, including me, rose to the high ceiling of the hall and I wrapped my arms around my wife. My WIFE. I loved the sound of it!

I felt very much like the luckiest man on the face of this earth…on the face of ANY earth!
