It's a short chapter, sorry, but Annabeth is in too big a hurry to get married.
"Are you ready to marry Kelp Head?" Thalia asks poking her head in the room where Annabeth waits.
"Thals, you made it," Annabeth says excitedly.
"I told you I would be here," Thalia says now hugging her oldest friend.
"I know, but when I didn't see you this morning I thought maybe something came up or Artemis changed her mind about letting you stand up for me," Annabeth says.
"Artemis loves you. She wouldn't let you down like that," Thalia tells her as she fluffs her friend's veil.
"You look pretty in your dress," Annabeth says now adjusting Thalia's shoulder straps.
"Yeah, well you owe me one for putting this thing on," Thalia says with a chuckle.
"Hi guys," Rachel says as she pokes her head in the room.
"Rachel," Annabeth says holding her arms out for a hug.
"You both look so pretty," Rachel tells her friends.
"Well you wear the dress better than I do," Thalia says with a laugh.
"Have either of you seen Percy?" Annabeth now asks, changing the subject.
"He's waiting around outside," Thalia tells her.
"Looking very handsome," Rachel adds.
"You're mom was out there talking to Percy's dad too," Thalia continues.
"Oh gods," Annabeth says getting a worried look on her face.
"It seemed to be OK, I mean it wasn't like they were hugging or anything, but they were being civil," Thalia reassures her.
"Mom gave me her blessing," Annabeth tells them.
"You're kidding, I thought she would always hate Percy," Rachel says in disbelief.
"Oh, she still hates Percy. She just gave me her blessing to marry him," Annabeth says with a chuckle.
"Well Aphrodite said the ceremony could start when you were ready," Rachel tells them.
"Then let's go," Annabeth says with a happy smile on her face.
