Chapter 17

It was finally here. The big day. The marriage of Peter and Melendie was happening.

Once Melendie was 100% better, all the plans started being made. Since it was the High King who was getting married, it was a very big deal. Everyone put every last detail was being put into everything. Her dress, the decorations, etc. Though Peter and Melendie tried to explain many times that this wasn't something worthy of all of this, nobody listened.

Finally, everything was done, and the day had come. Every Narnian turned up to see the High King get married and to see the new queen of Narnia.

While everyone was talking and waiting anxiously, both Melendie and Peter were very nervous. Susan and Lucy were talking to her, and Edmund was talking to him. First, Melendie:

"Where's Melendie?" Lucy asked.

It was only one hour until the wedding started and the bride was nowhere to be seen.

"I don't know Lu," answered Susan, "but we have to find her…now!" The two hurried off to find their future sister-in-law.

Luckily they quickly found her. She had her back to a tree. When they got closer, they found she was crying.

"Melendie," Lucy called, running over to her, "what's wrong?"

"I-I-I," Melendie tried to speak, "I want my mum."

"Oh Mel," said both girls while hugging her.

"When I was little," Melendie continued, "mum and I talked all about my wedding and what would happen. I was going to wear her dress and dad was

Going to walk me down the aisle. I had even picked which of my friends were going to be my bridesmaids. Everything was planned and ready," Tears were still running down her cheeks. "It just doesn't feel right."

"Melendie, I understand how it wouldn't feel right to do the wedding this way instead of how you talked about it with your mum and dad and friends, but I know that they would want you to feel happy on your wedding day, and excited," Susan told her, "no matter how it was going about."

Melendie sighed and said, "You're right. And I am happy and excited. I am going to marry Peter and become your sister, and also become… Queen of Narnia," She took one last deep breath and said, "Alright. I'm ready. Help me get fixed up please."

The three of them walked off to help get Melendie ready.

Now for Peter's story:

While Lucy and Susan were talking to Melendie, Edmund was with Peter.

He had found Peter in one of the tents that had been set up.

"You almost ready, Pete?" Edmund asked him.

"Yeah. Just about."

"Are you okay?" Edmund asked. Peter seemed upset.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm just…nervous."

"About what?"

"I'm worried about going back to our world?"

"Why?" Edmund came in and sat down next to him.

"I mean, I know the marriage won't be real back in our world. But…it's just…I love Melendie. So much. And if I start dating another girl, I'm going to feel like I'm cheating on her."

"But you won't be."

"I know that. It's just not going to feel right."

"You don't need to worry. I know you, and you always do what's right."

"Peter, Ed," said Susan, popping in, "it's time."

"Alright. We'll be right there. Thanks Su."

She smiled, then left.

"So, you ready?" Edmund asked him, standing up.

Peter took a deep breath, and said, "Defiantly. Let's go."

About 10 minutes later, everything was ready and everyone was in place. Even Aslan had come back. He would be the one who would marry Peter and Melendie.

The, the fauns started playing their pan flutes, and it all started. Peter stood at the front with Edmund next to him. Dryads went down first, dancing gracefully and throwing flower petals. Then came Susan and Lucy dressed in their gowns. After, came Melendie. When Peter saw her, his heart almost stopped.

Wow, he thought. She looks so beautiful.

She was wearing an all white dress that went down to her ankles. She had a white flower in her almost black hair that was flowing down freely.

At this moment, Peter thought he was the luckiest man in the world; this one and his.

Before he knew it, she was next to him, and the ceremony started.

"Fellow Narnian," Aslan began, "we are all here together to wed the High King Peter and Melendie. Before I continue, is there anyone who objects to this marriage?" No one spoke. "I shall go on."

The wedding happened very quickly. The two exchanged vows and rings. Peter kissed his bride, and they were married. Then, the reception happened.

It was a lot of fun. There was plenty to eat and drink, and there was lots of fun dancing and music and everyone was happy.

Peter noticed that Melendie was worried about something.

"What's wrong darling?" he asked her.

"It's just, I know Narnian time is different from your world, and I'm just worried that the next time you come to Narnia, I'll be very old or…gone."

"I hadn't thought about that," Peter told her. "But don't you worry. Even if you're 90 years old the next time I see you, I'll still love you." Melendie giggled at this.

"There is a way for you to be certain you will still be at a young age when they return," Aslan told her. He had overheard what she had said, and had come forward.

"What is it?" Melendie asked, hopeful.

"There is a remedy," He explained, "that can have you age how Peter and his siblings do."

"I would love that Aslan. Very much."

"I need to collect the herbs for it. I will give it to you after your coronation."

"Oh Aslan, thank you so much!" Melendie exclaimed, hugging him.

He laughed softly. "You're very welcome, Daughter. Now, go and enjoy your wedding night."

Melendie smiled and took Peter's hand. Peter smiled too. They walked away to join the others. They never left each other all night.

Another chapter done, another one to come.
