Chapter ten is finally up! I want to appologize for this chapter not being up sooner but from now on I can only put up new chapters on Fridays Saturdays and Sundays. Sorry 'bout that. =(
The Wedding
"Is that a yes then?" Gray asks hopefully. "Yes it's a yes!" I say and kiss him again. Once the kiss breaks I look down to see the blue feather. It really is a beautiful feather and I still can't believe Gray was proposing to me. "I never even thought that you might be the one the blue feather fell for," I say softly, a gentle smile on my face. Gray chuckled and held me against his chest. "I love you, Cliff, and I want to be with you forever," Gray says softly. "I love you too, Gray," I reply and kiss him again.
"So, when should we get married?" I ask happily. "Hmm, well I have all the arrangements planned already… so how about the day after tomorrow?" Gray asks happily. "So soon?" I ask in surprise. "Why, do you not want to?" Gray asks sadly. "You know I want to, Gray, I just didn't realize you'd already planned everything," I say happily and rest my head on his chest. "And the day after tomorrow is great."
So it was decided that we would have our wedding the day after tomorrow, and I headed out to the nearest town to get a tuxedo. Gray already has his (it seems like he planned everything except what I would wear) so I'm stuck shopping alone since Gray wanted to set everything up for the day after tomorrow. "What to wear what to wear…" I mutter as I search through the racks of tuxedos. "What occasion are you shopping for?" one of the guys who works here asks me. "I'm getting married, and I need a tux," I say as I continue to shuffle through the racks. "Well, then, how about I show you some of our more special ones," the man says as he leads me over to a rack near the back of the store. There were many simple black tuxedos but they were also classy and perfect for a wedding. I picked out one and then headed into the dressing room to try it on. "It's perfect!" I say happily and take it off so that I can buy it.
I head back to Mineral Town in the late afternoon with my new tuxedo in a bag in my arms. I'm very excited about the day after tomorrow and am almost skipping down the street. It takes me a little over an hour to walk back to Mineral Town, but I don't really mind. It's dinner time when I finally get back to the Inn. "Hey," Gray says when he sees me and gives me a kiss. "Hi," I say happily and kiss him back. "I can't wait for tomorrow," Gray murmurs. "Me either," I agree as I put away my new tux in our bedroom and then head downstairs to eat dinner with Gray.
Gray and I would probably have gotten married tomorrow but it's the chicken festival tomorrow, so we can't. I question Gray about our wedding during dinner but he wouldn't give away anything. "Come on, Gray, just tell me one thing!" I beg him. "Nope, I'm not giving away anything!" Gray teases happily. "You're such a meanie," I say playfully and he pretends to be hurt by that. "How could you say that to your fiancé?" Gray asks in a mock-horrified voice. "I'm just that much of a jerk," I chuckle and kiss him gently. "I love you, Gray." "I love you too, Cliff," Gray says softly.
Two days later I wake up at six AM. Today is Gray and my wedding and I couldn't wait! Gray has already left (he wanted to get up even earlier to get everything ready). The wedding starts at ten AM and I have to be there at nine AM. I'm not allowed to go to the church until then so I have to get dressed here. I go downstairs to have some breakfast before I go upstairs to get ready.
It takes me over two hours to get myself perfect and then I head to the church. I'm practically skipping as I get to the entrance. Carter is standing outside the doors waiting for me. "You have to go in blindfolded and wait in the confessional room," Carter says with a grin and takes out a black strip of cloth. "Okay!" I say excitedly as he blindfolds me.
Carter ties the blindfold around my eyes and then leads me through the church and into the confessional room. He takes off the blindfold once the door is shut. "It's a half hour before the wedding starts. People should be arriving now," Carter says happily. He seems almost as excited as I am.
The half hour seems to take forever as I impatiently wait for ten AM to arrive. Finally the clock strikes ten and I quickly fix my tie before heading out of the confessional room. The organ music starts as I walk over to where Gray is standing. He's wearing a black tux as well as is looking more handsome than ever. The church is beautifully decorated with balloons and streamers. "Do you like it?" Gray asks happily. "I love it," I reply with a huge smile as we stand in front of the pew. Carter is standing there and starts to read out the vows and Gray and I both say 'I Do' at the appropriate times. "You may now kiss," Carter says happily and we kiss passionately in front of the crowd.
Once the ceremony is over everyone heads back to the Inn for a party. There's cake, wine, and lots of food. Karen gets drunk right away (which is no surprise to anyone) and Rick and Kai are sitting alone in a corner making out. Gray and I are sitting in the middle of the room with cake and wine. Neither of us really notices anyone other than each other.
"So, Cliff, where should our honey moon be?" Gray asks happily. "I'm not sure," I say thoughtfully. "Somewhere tropical…" "How about Hawaii?" Gray asks as he pulls out two plane tickets. My eyes go wide and I hug Gray tightly. "I can't believe you planned the honey moon as well!" I say in awe. "I think of everything," Gray says playfully and kisses me.
End chapter ten.
