Juniper's Wedding

TRADITIONAL PRINCESS WEDDING

80 GUESTS

$25,000

Announcer: Juniper will be the first to marry her knight in shining armor in her childhood church.

Mia: This is so beautiful.

Rhoda (Beaches of Tranquility): Juniper's theme is from fairytales. I know she's only 21 but that's still like a child's fantasy wedding. It's cute but it's hard to make mature enough for a real wedding.

Athena: Aw it looks so pretty.

Athena (Unexpectedly Yellow): There wasn't a whole lot of decoration in the church but what was there was gorgeous. There were white and peach colored ribbons at the end of each pew. All kinds of flowers at the altar. It was perfect.

Mia: This is the bride's side.

Athena: Look it's the groom.

Mia (Japanese Kitten): The first thing I noticed was that Apollo was taking a lot of deep breaths. You could tell he was trying to keep calm.

Athena: It was so sweet when he stood there after a few minutes. I knew he was ready to become a husband.

Mia: Aw flower girl!

Athena: True to her word.

Rhoda: That's her cousin right? She looks so adorable.

Mia: The flower girl must have only been about 5. She looked so cute in her outfit with the little ruffles. Though halfway she stopped and looked around before starting again. Little kids are so cute.

Athena: Junie's coming!

Rhoda: Since she said it was going to be traditional I thought we would hear "Here comes the Bride" but no. She surprised us with a different piece.

Mia: When that music played as Juniper entered the church I thought I would start crying. She looked so beautiful. She looked picture perfect.

Athena: I think she's tearing up.

Rhoda: Yeah Apollo is too.

Priest: Friends, we are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Apollo Justice and Juniper Woods. Let us call upon God to be with us today as we celebrate this union of two into one. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Mia: I honestly forgot that Catholic Weddings have mass in it, even though Diego must have explained it to me when we went to one of his family member's weddings. But the readings were good.

Athena: Aw look it's their mothers.

Rhoda: When their mother's came up to get the candles for the union candles, I almost cried. It felt really personal that they followed them to the unity candle putting their hands on their backs, smiling. And trust me I think the happy couple needed it. Their eyes were still watery by the time they were done.

Priest: Now take a deep breath and repeat after me Juniper.

(Juniper nods, still teary)

Priest: I, Juniper

Juniper: I Juniper

Priest: take you, Apollo

Juniper: *Sniffle* Take you *Sniffle* A-Apol-lo

Athena: That's when Juniper actually started crying. I thought she was so strong to get to her vows without crying. Apollo was crying too after he saw her let loose. It was so sweet. But he managed to calm her down, by grasping her hand ever so gently, so she could get through the vows.

Mia: Apollo could barely get through his vow either. One crying is understandable, both is just adorable. I teared up too.

Rhoda: I think the whole congregation started tearing up when Apollo started his vows. I mean everyone. His mother, her parents, his sister, his best man, her maid of honor. Everyone was so happy to see this wedding, and that got me going.

Rhoda: I'm cracking. Oh they're so cute together!

Mia: It's so sweet.

Apollo: A-And my one true love!

Athena: I don't know how they managed to get through the rest of the wedding. But they did and it was magical.

Priest: My dear friends, let us turn to the Lord and pray that he will bless with his grace Juniper now married in Christ to Apollo and that through the sacrament of the body and blood of Christ, he will unite in love the couple he has joined in this holy bond. Apollo and Juniper, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.

(Apollo picks Juniper up and kisses her)

(Juniper wraps her arms around Apollo as she kisses back)

Priest: My dear friends, it is my pleasure to introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Justice.

(Everyone claps)

(Apollo lowers Juniper as they walk back down the aisle)

(The guests toss rose petals in celebration)

Announcer: Coming up.

Apollo: Ready to rule our kingdom.

Announcer: Juniper's kingdom is not just for show.

Juniper: I'm a queen!

(Apollo picks her up)

Apollo: And I your king!

AN: Finally the editing is done for this chapter. And if anyone has seen the show they know the first wedding is done in two parts.

Quick notes:

The song I imagined Juniper Walking down the aisle was Pachelbel's Canon or as some holiday music people may better know it: The Christmas Canon.

Juniper's Wedding dress is to be described in the next chapter
