Chapter 17
It was a beautiful day; the sun was shining and everything looked perfect; the perfect day for a wedding. Catelyn Stark smiled at the thought of that; it was, after all, her brother Edmure's wedding today; he was marrying beloved girlfriend, Roslin Frey. Being from the extensive Frey family, Roslin's family took up most of the guest list. However there were still plenty of other guests, including her own family, both sides of it.
She smiled at Ned as he parked the car.
"I can hardly believe it; Ned." She said happily. "Edmure getting married; Gods time flies."
Ned nodded and smiled too. "Indeed; I still remember our own wedding…"
Cat nodded and, ready to begin their day, they got out of the car. They weren't the only ones present. As they helped Bran out of the car and into his wheelchair, the rest of their children, along with their loved ones, joined them. They had all dressed up well, suitable for the wedding, Ned in a black tux while Cat wore a green knee length dress with dark green heels.
Robb and Myrcella stood right next to them, Robb in black trousers, a white shirt, black jacket and bowtie along with black shoes. Myrcella meanwhile wore her own knee length dress and heels, although hers were black.
Sansa wore a deep purple ankle length dress with matching heels, even Meera was clad in a dress, hers being knee length and chocolate brown, along with black heels.
Arya however wasn't wearing a dress; although her clothes were designer and certainly fitting for a wedding, consisting of black trousers, a white blouse and black heels, she also wore a dark pearl necklace.
Gendry, Bran and Rickon stood nearby too, all grinning. They too were all dressed up, even Gendry; he wore black trousers, a white shirt and black shoes. Rickon's outfit was similar although instead of shoes he wore black baskets. Bran meanwhile wore brown trousers, a white shirt, white jacket and brown shoes.
"Come on everyone." Catelyn said at last. "We need to hurry; everybody else should already be here."
They all nodded and began to make their way up to the church and soon entered. It did not take long for them to find other family members. Hostor and Brynden were both present, remarkable showing no animosity towards each other. Lysa and her family were present too; Petyr smiling serenely, Robin was blushing, clearly embarrassed.
Mostly due to his outfit; while all were dressed up smart; Robin was still stuck looking like a child. Hostor was wearing a plain grey tuxedo with black shoes; Brynden was all in black, jacket, shirt, trousers, shoes and tie. Petyr in black trousers with a white shirt, dark grey jacket and polished shoes.
Lysa in a long light blue dress with white heels; poor Robin however was in dark blue just below mid-thigh length short trousers, a white shirt, red bow tie, suspenders along with brown shoes and white calf-high socks.
'I can't believe this, I look ridiculous.' Robin thought sadly. 'Urgh, I don't even have Tommen to help me cope with it; at least he's understanding.'
Hostor smiled upon seeing the Starks. "Ah good, there you are."
Brynden grinned. "Thank the Gods, now we have people other than the Frey's to talk to."
They all laughed and soon everybody was getting ready for the wedding to begin.
It wasn't long afterwards they were all seated; Edmure Tully, clad in a white tux with a red bow-tie and white shoes, stood at the altar, waiting. Another person who stood out, being the only member of his family present; was Lancel Lannister. He looked awkward and out of place, but still well dressed, clad in black suit trousers; a white shirt; a red and orange tie; grey waistcoat; a black suit jacket and black polished shoes.
The most notable Frey members present were Perwyn Frey, Willem Frey and Benfrey Frey; all dressed up in fancy clothes, Perwyn in a white tux and Benfrey in black trousers, a white shirt, red jacket and black shoes. Willem Frey wore brown trousers, a white shirt, brown jacket and tie along with matching shoes.
Also present were Benfrey's family, a woman in a red ankle length dress with matching heels, his wife Jyanna.
Also his two children, five year old Della and four year old Osmund were also present; Della dressed up in a light green floral dress with matching shoes and white socks. Osmund wore black short trousers, a white shirt with suspenders and black socks and shoes.
Robin blushed at that. 'You've gotta be kidding, can't mum see how ridiculous I look, I'm dressed the same as a four year old.'
But Lysa seemed oblivious to it; all eyes were on Edmure anyway, standing at the altar with Olyvar Frey, his best man, clad in classy jeans, a white shirt, black shoes and loose grey tie.
The music began and they knew it was time; they all turned, watching as Roslin's female relatives, chosen to be bridesmaids, began entering. Marissa and Walda Frey entered one after the other, Marissa in a fifties retro ankle length dress, blue with white polka dots and a black belt, along with black heels. Walda wore a bright pink ankle length dress with matching flats.
Finally Amerei Frey entered, wearing a short light orange dress with a v collar and orange heels. She also wore a golden lion head pendant, a gift many figured. Finally Roslin entered, on her father's arm. Walder was wearing an old grey tuxedo and looked more like a corpse every day. Roslin however looked stunning, her hair perfect, make-up perfect, her dress was long, white and stylish, she also wore white heels and silver mesh veil.
Edmure was speechless as he saw her; she smiled widely when she saw him and soon they were both at the altar, the wedding ready to begin. Finally, as Edmure and Roslin kissed and the wedding party cheered, they began to head for the reception. On the way Gendry leaned in close to Arya.
"Say; any idea why Lancel is here, the only Lannister?" He asked.
Arya smirked. "Probably because he's Amerei's boyfriend; he's the one who gave her that pendant."
Gendry nodded. "Oh, I see. Well, small world."
Arya nodded and soon they headed for the reception.
During the reception, Robin was blushing furiously, trying to keep his cool. He was stuck, wearing these stupid clothes, while being pestered by Osmund and Della.
"Why are you wearing that; aren't you a big boy?" Della asked.
Osmund then piped up. "Maybe he wanted to please his mummy; mummy wanted me to look smart, so I put on the clothes she chose."
Robin sighed and; hoping it would get them off his case confirmed it. "Yes, it was to please my mummy."
Both kids smiled before scampering off; Robin sighed; wishing his torment would just end. Meanwhile; as they enjoyed themselves, along with the rest of the family, Arya and Gendry were tucking into the food they got from the buffet.
"Say, I've been meaning to ask?" Gendry said suddenly. "How have you been, regarding the bullying and that?"
Arya grinned. "Pretty good actually, I'm not bothered by it anymore, it's really just Joffrey and those loser friends of his. He's still trying but, I've made it clear I'm not bothered and he's wasting his time."
Gendry grinned too and kissed her, a kiss she eagerly returned, happy that things were looking up for her. The night passed with much happiness for many, the newlyweds in particular and before long they were leaving for their honeymoon; eager for their future together.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
