Hey guys! I am so happy that I have 32 reviews! Thank you soo much! I hope you enjoy this chapter! I like how it turned out!
Katniss's POV:
The next few days go by so fast and it is the day before the wedding. Peeta has been making our wedding cake and he won't let me see it! My prep team arrived this morning and they went right to work on me, making sure that I will have a wedding glow. When my prep team finishes with me, it is almost dinner time so I go to Peeta's room. Hopefully he will be back and we can go to dinner tonight.
When I open the door, Peeta isn't in the room. He's probably putting finishing touches on our cake… The cake we will be eating tomorrow! Just that thought makes my mouth water. While I wait for Peeta to get back, I lie down on the bed.
I can't believe I am marrying Peeta tomorrow! I am sure that tomorrow will be the happiest day of my life. But the thought of Gale comes into my mind. I know for a fact that I love Peeta and Gale is just my friend but he looked so hurt when we told him about our engagement. Does he still love me? The thought of Gale speaking up tomorrow when they preacher asks if anyone objects… I haven't been to a wedding so I don't know the exact words but I guess I will tomorrow. Will he object? I suddenly get really nervous but all those thoughts run out of my mind when I feel someone's lips on mine. I guess I was so lost in thought that I didn't realize that Peeta came back. We break apart after a few seconds.
"Are you okay sweetheart?" He asks with a look of concern on his face as he sits down on the bed next to me.
"Yeah. I'm fine." I reply reassuringly. But Peeta knows me better than anyone else.
"Really Katniss, what's wrong?" He questions. I think about what to say. If I tell him about Gale, he might be upset. But to sum it all up, I am just nervous.
"I'm just nervous about the wedding. There are so many things that could go wrong!" I tell him. Peeta locks his fingers with mine and looks up at me.
"Everything is going to be perfect. Nothing can ruin our love." He answers. Well, I know I can't argue with that! What he said is true and as long as I love Peeta and he loves me, nothing can ruin our love. I lean my shoulder against his.
"Nothing." I whisper back. He smile and stands up. He offers his hand to mine and I take it. We walk down to the cafeteria for dinner. Because Peeta worked a little later than usual, everyone else already had dinner so the cafeteria is practically empty. We get our food and sit at a table by ourselves.
"Coin said that she will be there tomorrow." Peeta states.
"Fantastic!" I reply. It was Peeta's idea to invite her. He said the more, the better. Personally, I don't really care. I just want to live the rest of my life with Peeta.
We finish our dinner and go back to his room where I fall asleep in his arms. Surprisingly, I do not have any nightmares.
When I wake up, the only thought on my mind is that today is my wedding day! Suddenly, I hear a knock on the door. Before I can slide out of bed, Peeta is on his feet and already opening the door. I get out of bed too and see my prep team in the doorway.
"Hi Katniss, it's time to get ready!" Octavia squeaks. Peeta kisses my check.
"I'll see you at the altar." He whispers into my ear so only I can hear it. I give him a smile and my prep team pulls me down the hall and into the elevator. We go to my room where Prim and my mother are waiting.
"Katniss!" Prim squeals. She and hugs me and I hug her back. Then I go over to my mother and she gives me a warm hug. I've missed her so much! She has always been down at the hospital and I don't get to see her often. Then my prep team hurries me into the bathroom.
The first thing they do is my hair. They put it half up and curl it. Next is my makeup. They make it look natural so they don't put a lot on. Then all the attention is to my nails. Flavius does something called a French manicure. When he's done, I slip into the dress that I was originally going to wear before the 75th Hunger Games. Venia helps me into my 2 inch heels, which I think are impossible to walk in. I'm very happy with my hunting boots. I walk out of the bathroom and see that Prim and my mother are ready to go. My prep team lets them put my veil on. Because I'm wearing two inch heels, I have to bend down so that Prim can reach my head. Once my veil is secure, my prep team leaves and I walk down to the garden with my mother and Prim. When we get there, most of the guests are already here. My mother goes to take a seat while Prim and I go find Gale and Johanna but I find Haymitch first.
"You look gorgeous sweetheart." He says. I blush.
"Thanks." I reply and he leads Prim and I to a room, not far from the water fountain where I see and altar and a bunch of chairs have been set up. When we walk in, the first thing I see is Gale. He looks, once again, stunned. I look over his shoulder to see Johanna.
"Wow… You look beautiful." He stutters.
"Thank you!" I say with excitement. Haymitch lines us in order and we walk to the entrance of the garden. The music starts and Johanna and Gale make their way down the aisle followed by Prim.
Haymitch gives me a smile and we begin to walk down the aisle. The first thing I see is Peeta smiling like crazy by the altar. He's wearing a suit his blue eyes sparkle. Before I know it, I am beside Peeta.
The preacher begins with an opening and I don't hear much because I am looking into Peeta's eyes. We say our vowels and then he asks the question I have been worrying about.
"Does any object to this marriage?" There is complete silence and I let out a small sigh in relife. The preacher takes a breath to continue but is stopped by a voice.
"I do."
I whip my head to see who said that. I know it wasn't Gale because he looks just as confused. I look at Peeta and he gives me a worried look and that's when I see guards blocking every exit. Then I see President Snow standing in the doorway.
Sorry! I just can't stop putting cliffhangers in! Hopefully I will have the next chapter up tomorrow but Monday is my busiest day of the week! But I will try my best! Please review!
