Chapter 16 The weddings

The next couple of weeks flew by and soon it was time for the two weddings. Susan now stood in a simple white satin a-line floor length dress. It was strapless with a simple satin ribbon bow at the waist. She had chosen the ribbon to be in an emerald green color. Her flowers were red roses. She was amazed at how easily she had pulled away from her Abnegation roots. Her shoes were simple white satin heels that she could dye another color after the wedding.

Tris stood behind Susan fixing her hair. Tris slowly pulled the hair up from the nape of Susan's neck. She put it in a ponytail then separated it in half. She braided the right side adding in tiny white flowers as she braided. Then she did the same on the left side she clasped the two sides together in a barrette with three lines of fake pearls on it. She then attached a veil to the barrette carefully. The veil landed at Susan's waist. "You look beautiful." Tris says into Susan's ear before turning her around and applying a light layer of makeup to the bride's already beautiful face.

"Have you looked at yourself today Tris?" Susan asks with a laugh. Tris was in an emerald green floor length strapless chiffon dress with a pleated bodice. Her makeup was flawless as she had been taught well on how to apply it through her time with Christina in Dauntless. Her hair was braided on one side and pulled into a ponytail with the rest of her hair from the other side. On her feet she had a pair of silver heels.

"Thank you Susan but I can't upstage the bride at this wedding and she better not upstage me at mine." They both laugh at this.

They shared a hug before Tris handed Susan her bouquet and grabbed her own. They followed the other girls from the room and as the music started they shared a smile when the procession started. "Welcome to the family dear sister!" Tris said to Susan.

"Thank you. I always wanted to have a sister and now I am getting one of the coolest sisters I could have dreamed of." Susan said before Tris started up the aisle.

When Susan came in Tobias and Tris had to act quick to catch Caleb because he fainted. Susan's eyes caught Tris as she fanned her older brother. Tris mouthed, "He is fine." Just as Susan and her father reach the second row of guests Caleb came to with an embarrassed smile.

"Thank you Tobias and Tris." He whispered as they helped him back into his spot.

"What was her beauty too much for you?" Tris teased and she saw her brother's face turn a deeper red.

"Yeah her beauty and the fact I forgot to eat this morning." He whispers back as Tris moves to go back to her spot. Tobias having known this might happen to himself as well as Caleb reach into his pocket and pulled out a piece of candy.

"Here put this in your mouth it will help you to avoid another blackout plus it will freshen the breath for your first kiss as husband and wife." Tobias whispered just as Susan's father moved forward to hand Susan to Caleb.

They exchanged their vows and rings then listened to some readings about love before Johanna pronounced them husband and wife. She then called for them to kiss and as they kissed Caleb felt as if everything was finally getting better for him.

The group walked back out of the meeting hall where they held the wedding and moved to get ready for the next wedding while guests were given some tasty treats to hold them until the reception. Tris smiled as she helped Susan out of the wedding dress and into a black halter top crinkled chiffon high low dress that was simply elegant. They removed the veil and left her hair in the style it was. The other girls fixed theirs the same way. Then she changed from the white heels into Tris' silver heels. Then Susan helped Tris change into her wedding dress which was floor length with a halter top and a beaded waist. It looked like it was made just for her.

"I love having a sister I can trade clothes with now that we can wear anything we want. It doubles the wardrobe without the additional cost." Susan says and they laugh. Tris slipped into a pair of white heels that had something written on the bottoms in blue pen. Susan caught a glimpse of the writing and put a hand on Tris arm. "Wait there is something on the bottom of your shoes."

Tris smiled as she took her shoes back off and looked at the bottom. There in Tobias' tight handwriting was a love note. Tris read it out loud for the others to hear. "Tris, I love you. You are everything I strive to be. You are brave, selfless, smart, kind, and honest. You and Torin are my everything good in this life. I thank God every day for you. With all my love, Tobias "Four" Eaton

"Aw who would have every thought Four to be a romantic man?" Christina teased.

"I would have." Amar says as he enters the room. "You look sensational Tris. Poor Tobias will probably be as bad as Caleb and faint when he sees his hot wife to be." This made Tris laugh and blush.

"I hope not. That was embarrassing for poor Caleb and I hate to have Tobias upstage Caleb's moment by doing the same thing." Tris jokes back and they all laugh.

"Are you ready my love?" Amar asks as he holds out his hand.

"Almost just fixing the hair then we can go." Susan says as she steps forward to fix the flowers into Tris hair and attach the veil to the back of the barrette Tris is wearing. "Like I said Tris it is awesome having a sister to share with. Now you have your something borrowed, something blue, something new but what about your something old?"

"Wait I thought that is why she asked me to walk her in?" Amar teased.

"I do have my something old." Tris says softly and they look at her in shock. She opens the pouch attached to her bouquet. Inside was pebble from her childhood. "It is a pebble my mom told me I should pick up the day Tobias took care of my knee. She told me some day I would understand why and I remember Caleb being mad that I took a pebble from the sidewalk that day. However apparently the day my parents died my mom had explained to my brother the reason for that."

"What was the reason?" Amar asked with a tender smile.

"My mom saw in my eyes that day that Tobias was something super special to me. She told Caleb that it was obvious even that early that Tobias and I was meant for one another. Also she knew that she might not be able to be at my wedding when the day came so she wanted me to carry the pebble as a reminder that she loved me and always would. She asked Caleb to let me know if ever the time came and he was able to talk to me." Tris explained with a tear as she put the pebble away.

"That is so sweet and sad at the same time. Does Tobias know you have a pebble from that day?" Susan asked having heard the story from Caleb and Tris just a few days ago.

"No but after the wedding he will know." Tris says as she motions the girls from the room. "Amar, thank you so much for being here for me today. I feel a little like my own father is here having you here with me."

"Your parents are smiling down on you today. They would be so proud of the woman you have become." Amar says just as Tris takes his arm and allows him to lead her from the room.

As she hears the music play she watches the girls process forward and unbeknownst to Tris her girls each hold a sign that they show to Tobias as they walk forward. The signs read, 'Tobias, wait until you see her. She is a knockout.'
