Chapter 17: A Wedding to Remember

Today I face one of the biggest moments in my life this afternoon. Today is my wedding day and soon I will be future Mrs. Hessenheffer. I admitted. I am a little nervous about marrying Gunther, but that's not going to stop me from doing what I've been dreaming of since I was a little girl. It wasn't so long ago when I was back in Chicago living the average life. My life isn't but so average now, and I'm okay with that. I guess fairytales do sometime come true.

I stood in front of my vanity mirror looking at myself. I wore a beautiful white wedding gown, with a crown fitted for a queen. I never looked so fantastic in my life. It was like this crown was fit for me and only me. Gunther going to die happy once he sees me looking like this.

"Oh my god, you look so beautiful." Rocky said hugging me.

"Thanks. Is everyone here?" I asked.

"Yes, apparently a lot of people are here. Enough about them, let's talk about you."

"What about me?"

Rocky sobs, "I can't believe you're actually getting married today! I always thought we would get engaged together and having double weddings. But unfortunately, you have to get married without me."

"Okay please don't crying. Eventually, Deuce will get down on one knee and pop the question. You just worry about school first. Marriage is a major step, and you really don't need any distractions right now."

"You're right. Let me stop crying. Tinka will be pissed if I mess up my makeup."

"Where is Tinka anyways?"

"Last time I checked she ran off with Ty somewhere in the castle."

I shook my head, "Why?! I need her."

"You need her for what?" Rocky asked me, confused.

"I need her to losing my gown. She the only one that knows how to work this thing."

Rocky giggles, "This thing? CeCe your wedding gown is not a thing."

"It is when it's cutting off my air supply. People seem to forget that I'm pregnant, and my baby needs oxygen, just as much as I need air to breathe."

"Stand still. I will loosen it up for you." Rocky said, turning me around.

"Thank you Rocky."

"No problem. Don't want you to kill yourself on your wedding day."

"Trust me, I am walking down that aisle whether I like it or not."

"I like the sound of that." She said.

"My baby getting married today I can't believe it." My mom said, bursting inside my room. She was crying hysterically and blew her nose with a tissue. "It seems like only yesterday when I was changing your smelly diapers."

"Mom please. You're embarrassing me in front of Rocky." I said.

Rocky snort and laughed, "It's not like I haven't heard that before."

I glared at her.

"CeCe, it's not every day I get to see my only daughter get married. Let's hope for your sakes, you stay married." Mom explained.

"Mrs. Jonasson, are you moving out here with CeCe?" Rocky asked.

"I'm thinking about. I still have things I need to do back in the US." Mom replied.

"Better for me. That's one person I don't have to worry about." I smiled.

"Cecelia, you are not funny." She said.

"I am so sorry CeCe." Tinka said, running inside my room. "I got caught up with Ty, but I'm here now."

"Got caught up do what exactly Missy?" My mom asked.

"Aw, Ty and I were making sure everything was set up right for the wedding ceremony." Tinka replied.

"Mhm, that's the wedding planner job, not yours."

Rocky and I giggled.

"I know. I just wanted Gunther and CeCe wedding day to be prefect."

"Uh-huh. You girls better get your act together. The wedding starts in 10 more minutes." Mom explained.

"Really? In that case mom you better get going." I said pushing her out of the door. "See you in a bit, love you."

"Your mom is one of the most intimidating women I ever met." Tinka said.

"Tell me about it, I'm more scared of her then my own parents." Rocky said.

"My mom isn't that bad." I told them.

"You got a point. Your mom is cooler then my parents." Rocky said.

"Ty asked me to marry him." Tinka admitted.

"He what?!"

"He asked me to marry him." She repeated.

"When and where?" Rocky asked.

"About 5 minutes ago. That's why I ran in here."

"What did you tell him Tinka?" I asked.

"I told him yes, but he's going to finish college in America first before we get married. So we are on a 2 year engagement plan." Tinka explained.

"I am happy for you Tink." I said hugging her.

"Me too." Rocky said hugging her also.

"I guess I won't be the only married for long." I smiled.

"No you won't." Tinka said.

"You ready to get married pumpkin?" My Father asked.

"Yes daddy." I replied, taking his arm.

We started to walk down the aisle. There had to be more than a thousand people here, and 95% of them I didn't know. Gunther stood there in his royal red uniform looking dashing as ever. My hair stood up in the back of my head just thinking about how great he looked right now. I took a deep breath getting ready for the biggest moment in my entire life.

"Take care of my little girl Gunther." My father said, handing me over to Gunther.

"I will your majesty." Gunther said, winking at me. "You look beautiful CeCe."

"You're looking handsome yourself." I said.

"When have I not?" he said not asking.

"Shut it Hun."

The Priest Spoke, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today, to join Prince Gunther Hessenheffer and Princess Cecelia Alexandra Jonasson in holy Matrimony; which holy estate Christ adorned and beautified with his presence and first miracle that he wrought in Cana of Galilee, and is commended of Saint Paul to be honorable among all men: and therefore is not by any to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly; but reverently, discreetly, advisedly, soberly, and in the fear of God. If any man can show just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or forever hold his peace."

Everybody looked around but didn't say a word.

"Therefore, we will continue. Gunther Hessenheffer, do you take Cecelia Jonasson to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to be true to her through good times and bad times, through sickness and through health? Do you promise to honor her into death do you part?"

"I do." Gunther replied.

"And CeCe Jonasson, do you take Gunther Hessenheffer to be your lawfully wedded husband? Do you promise to be true to him through good times and in bad times, through sickness and through health? Do you promise to honor him into death do you part?"

"I do." I replied.

"By the power invested in me I now pronoun you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Gunther and I automatically share a passionate kiss. Everybody applaud for us as we started to walk back up the aisle. This was the greatest moment of our life. When we made it outside, there was a royal horse carriage waiting for us. Gunther and I waved to everybody before getting inside.

"How does it feel to be married?" Gunther asked.

"It feels good. I don't feel any different though." I replied.

"Me either. I always felt like I was married to you since we first started going out."

"Same here Gunther. Wow there so many people here."

"Of course, they came to see you."

"They came to see you too Gunther."

"True, but you are there future queen."

I smiled.

"Can I have everybody attention." Rocky said on stage. Deuce and I would like to congratulate the bride and groom on their marriage today. CeCe and Gunther, we love you both and hope you enjoy a wonderful life together." Rocky said.

"We love you too Rocky!" I shouted.

"We would like to sing a song for you guys called Never Knew I Needed by Ne-yo." Deuce added.

"We also made a video. Tinka, Ty, Deuce and I put it together and thought you guys would like." Rocky explained.

"It from your past and present, enjoy." Deuce said.

Never Knew I Needed

Deuce verse (Gunther thoughts)

For the way you changed my plans
For being the perfect distraction
For the way you took the idea that I have
Of everything that I wanted to have
And made me see there was something missing, oh yeah

For the ending of my first begin
Rocky part(Ooh, yeah yeah, ooh, yeah yeah)
And for the rare and unexpected friend
Rocky part(Ooh, yeah yeah, ooh, yeah yeah)
For the way you're something that I'd never choose
But at the same time, something I don't wanna lose
And never wanna be without ever again

Both verses

You're the best thing I never knew I needed
So when you were here I had no idea
You the best thing I never knew I needed
So now it's so clear, I need you here always

Rocky verse(CeCe thoughts)

My accidental happily
Deuce part(Ever after)
The way you smile and how you comfort me
Deuce part(With your laughter)
I must admit you were not a part of my book
But now if you open it up and take a look
You're the beginning and the end of every chapter

You're the best thing I never knew I needed
So when you were here I had no idea
Deuce part (When you were here)
You the best thing I never knew I needed
Deuce part (That I needed)
So now it's so clear, I need you here always
Deuce part (Now it's so clear)

Both verses

Who knew that I could be
Tinka and Ty part(Who knew that I could be)
So unexpectedly
Tinka and Ty part(So unexpectedly)
Undeniably happier
Sitting with you right here, right here next to me
Girl, you're the best

You're the best thing I never knew I needed
Tinka and Ty part(Said I needed)
So when you were here I had no idea
Tinka and Ty part parts(When you were here)
(Said I had no idea)
You're the best thing I never knew I needed
Tinka and Ty part(That I needed)
So now it's so clear I need you here always
Tinka and Ty parts(Now it's so clear)
(So clear, so clear, I need you always)

Now it's so clear, I need you here always.

The video show Gunther and I growing up from the time we were in diapers. I couldn't help myself but cry. Gunther was overwhelmed by the video and couldn't do anything else but stare. It even had moments of me and Gunther together. This was the best wedding gift ever.

"We love you guys!" Rocky, Deuce, Ty and Tinka yelled.

"We love you too!" Gunther yelled back.

I quickly walked up on stage and gave everybody a hug. Gunther followed after me.

"AWWW you guys." I said.

"That was the best wedding gift ever." Gunther said.

"Good, because we worked hard on it." Deuce said.

"Anything for you guys. We wanted to do something really special." Tinka said.

"I'm glad it touched you both." Ty said.

"Yeah, it really did." I grinned.

"Group hug everybody." Rocky said, pulling all of us together.

"Today was the great day of my life Gunther." I said, changing into a nice dress.

"Yeah, for me too." He replied.

"Where are we going for our honeymoon?"

"You'll see when we get there tomorrow."

"I hope it some place nice where going."

"Trust me, you won't be disappointed." Gunther said, wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing me.

"I'm glad I married you." I told him.

"I'm glad I married you too." He said rubbing my stomach.

I put my hands on top his.

"Let's get going. The plan leaves in a hour." He said looking at his watch.

"I'm coming." I said grapping my luggage.

"You shouldn't be carrying anything heavy. Let David take care of your luggage."

"Oh Gunter, always trying to call the help." I giggled.

A/N: Where do you guys think Gunther and CeCe should go for their honeymoon? Let me know and I will update around the same time next week. Ciao.
