This started off as Chapter 7 – it was gonna be a tiny chapter between the ceremony and the feast, where Arthur and Gwen seek a little moment for a breather, but when I was writing it, it just didn't seem like it was going in that direction. So I changed it to after the feast – it seems to fit better that way.
Their Day
Chapter 8
Arthur pulled Gwen by the hand away from the busy hall and toward a flight of stairs, but she stopped suddenly.
'Wait!' she said excitedly, letting go of his hand.
Arthur turned to her, frowning slightly through the grin that was plastered across his face. Gwen scooped up her dress in one hand and unhooked the heeled slippers from her feet and held them together in one hand.
'Ok.' She said, grinning and taking Arthur's hand. 'Let's go!'
He smiled and flew up the stairs, pulling her by the hand. They ran together through corridors and up staircases, and finally, Arthur threw the door open to the bedroom that had been busily prepared for the newly married couple.
'Now,' said Arthur turning to Gwen and taking both her hands in his. He gently laid his forehead on his and stared lovingly into her gentle brown eyes, which were now wide with love and adoration. 'My wife.'
They both laughed excitedly.
'I can scarcely believe it!' Gwen giggled. 'We're married!'
'I know. You're stuck with me now!'
'Don't be silly. I've waited too long for you – if I had any second thoughts at all do you think I'd still be here? Besides, I love you very much. My husband.'
'And I you. My wife.' Arthur bent his head and captured her lips with his and Gwen swiftly brought her hands up to caress his neck, dropping her shoes to the floor.
Arthur pulled away and stroked her face. 'Now.' He said, kissing her cheeks and nose tenderly. 'Let's start our lives together.'
Finished! There it is… all done! Yay! I'm so happy. Hope you all enjoyed it, and remember; a review would not go amiss!
Thanks so much, guys!
Love
