This wedding is not going to be like the cringe worthy ones in real life or the movies. :P
I hate weddings, so I try not to make it cheesy :L
Chapter 19 - Getting Ready For The Wedding
The morning finally arrives and Katniss wakes up with a excited Prim jumping on the bed.
"Katniss! Get up! Get up! C'mon your getting married"she says joyfully.
Katniss immediately starts to feel anxiety and feels sick.
She buries her face in her pillow trying to calm down and not hyperventilate.
"Ah, come on Katniss!"she says.
Prim goes down to get their mother from down stairs. Once they walk into the room Prim pulls off the duvet and Ms Everdeen spills cold water over her face.
Katniss shrieks and sits up quickly.
"What the hell? Are you serious? You poured freezing cold water over me the day of my wedding! Do you remember not so long ago I got hypothermia? Are you trying to actually kill me on my wedding day! I swear you'd think your were six years old water than forty six!"Katniss rants.
Ms Everdeen and Prim laugh all the way through Katniss' little rant.
"You needed a wake up call"Ms Everdeen says.
Katniss gets up and walks towards the bathroom.
"Thank God I'm leaving this house to day, I wouldn't have to deal with a lunatic who pours water over you to wake you up"Katniss says.
Ms Everdeen and Prim laugh and head downstairs to start breakfast.
On the other side of the seam, Gale is just as nervous. The kids are running around the house in good spirits while Hazelle chases Posy to get her to take a bath.
There's a knock on the door and Gale gets up to answer it and sees Sean, Thom and Aaron standing there already dressed in their best clothes for the wedding.
"You look like you need a drink"Sean says. The three men laugh.
"We came around to wish you good luck and to give you this-"Aaron says and hands him a large envelope. "us and people from the hob all put some money together for you and Katniss to have. Don't say you can't take it, you have to. Don't offend us"
"Wow, I-I don't know what to say"Gale says.
"You need to go get ready Gale. We'll see you down there"Thom says smiling.
Gale goes into his bedroom and puts on his suit. There is a knock on the bedroom door and Hazelle walks in.
She smiles at him and helps fix his tie.
"Your father would be so proud about the man you have become. You deserve to be happy. Enjoy it sweetie"She says and leans up and kisses his cheek.
"Ready to head to the justice building, time to go"she says.
They leave the house and see friends smiling towards him, they pat him on the back and wish him good luck.
Madge and Alice have been at Katniss the minute she stepped out of the bathroom.
Madge did her hair and Alice did her make-up. Katniss' hair is loosely curled and pulled back into a curly fashionable bun. The hair is loose and strands of curly hair surround Katniss' face. A white flower clip is put on the left side of her head.
Katniss make-up is soft and gentle. Rosy cheeks, light pink lips and smokey eyes.
Prim and Ms Everdeen walk in dressed ready to go, with Katniss' dress.
Alice and Madge squeal with excitement. Jumping up and down.
They help Katniss put on her dress and stand to admire.
Everyone is silent, Prim helps Katniss step into her shoes.
Everyone is beginning to cry.
"You look so beautiful Katniss. My little girl all grown up"Ms Everdeen says.
Ms Everdeen goes into the kitchen to get a tissue and Prim follows trying not to cry.
"Jez, you look smoking thanks to us. Gale going to rip you out of that dress"Madge says laughing along with Alice while Katniss blushes.
"You really do look beautiful Katniss, we're so happy for you"alice says.
"We'll try not to cry too much"Madge says and they all hug.
"Ready to go get married soon to be Mrs Gale Hawthorne?I believe he is waiting for you."Alice says.
Katniss nods and takes a deep breath.
