Chapter 17

Gill

Dear Diary
Well Diary looks like it's the day of my wedding ceremony. Sure, I'm excited for it, but something else feels weird about it. I never really thought about this much...but, maybe getting married isn't a good idea. Marriage means that I'm no longer a bachelor anymore. And I pretty much love my bachelor loves me so much. And I feel the same way. I don't what to do. But I guess i have no choice but to stay and continue with the marriage.

I'll Write later on...I guess.
Gill

I close my leather green diary shut and looked out the was a beautiful spring morning. I wouldn't be able to see Angela today since after all, we're not suppose to see each other. I turned around and saw a purple tuxedo. I sighed. Purple. Great. I quickly put the outfit on and went downstairs. I saw Chase in the living room. He was in a black tuxedo as much as I saw. I sighed. Chase cracked up laughing. I glared at him. Chase looked at me and stopped laughing. "I'm sorry Gill, but seriously? Purple?" He chuckled.

"Yeah so?" I said.

"Seriously. The groom is suppose to wear black, not purple."

"Shut up! I'm sure Angela wouldn't care."

"Yeah I guess."

"Come on let's go."

We walked toward the church. I smiled. Chase turned to look at me and then he looked away. I turned to him, open my mout, then close it and then looked away. The walk to the church was very slow and quiet. By the time we got to the church, people were still working on the decoration. I looked at the sky and smiled. Chase grabbed my arms and drag me inside the church. "What's up with you?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well you've been acting strange lately."

"Oh well, you see I'm finally becoming Mayor. And Vivian and Camilla will be coming today too."

"What if they don't come?" Asked Chase. I walked toward the front of the church, stood in front of the glass window with a picture of the goddess and her harvest sprites. I placed my hands together closed my hand and prayed.

"Oh Harvest Goddess, Where ever you are. Please hear my pray and let my dead mother and sister come to watch my wedding and my promtion of becoming the new mayor of Waffle Island. Please." I prayed. I turned around and saw Chase mouth flew open again. A moment later he finally closed it.

"Is she really going to hear you?" He asked.

"She has to." I said looking at the window again. "I can't get married without my loving mother and sister."

Angela

"Angela, you can't wear that dress to your wedding." Said Luna. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I wore a light blue bridal gown, matching shoes, and a again, matching gloves.

"I have to wear this. It's a tradition . My mother wore this at her wedding." I said.

"I don't care if your mother wore this!" I took a step back, as tears began to form into my eyes. Candace looked at me strangely.

"Luna, leave her alone." She said quietly.

"Luna, you don't understand..." I said.

"Of course I understand!" Luna shouted, pushing Candace out of the way. "Angela, you know it's Gill's special day, not because of the wedding, but he's getting promoted to be mayor. You have to match whatever he wears."

"Oh so I have to wear black as well?" I asked. "This is a wedding, not a funeral!"

"That's not what I meant stupid!"

"Your the stupid one, Retard."

"Retard? You should get your ears checked. Your the retard!"

"Well then you should get my mouth check. Pervert!"

"Pervert?". I looked at her angrily.

"No wonder Gill chose me over you. Your nothing but a spoiled brat! A little girl who gets whatever she wants, whenever she wants. All you care about is fashion and Gill. Don't you ever think about your family and anything your thankful of?"" I shouted. "Like seriously, you called your own sister a Waltflower on the first day of work! Give her a break! I'm sure she goes to the moutains or the beach to get peace and quiet away from you! If only she could put you in a box and ship you far away from someone then she can finally get some peace without you being a total jerk to her!"

Luna took a few steps back. I could see tears forming in her eyes. Then Luna collapse onto the floor on her legs. She cover her eyes with her hand so anyone or me could see her cry. But the sobbing gave it away. "Oh so your going to cry now. Go ahead, make my day. I don't care." I shouted back. "If you don't respect my family tradition, then you and your family are no longer invited to my wedding."

Candace looked at her sister. "Luna, let Angela wear the dress. Grandmother is looking forward to seeing this wedding. If you ruin it for her, she'll be..." She said but Luna got up before Candace could finish her sentence.

"Fine, I don't want to go to your stupid wedding anyways!" Candace gasps.

"I'm glad. Cause I don't want a stubborn-Gill-obsession freak coming to my wedding."

Luna and Candace left my house as fast as they could. I looked at Maya who stared at me in amazement. Elli just ignore it and continue to get Maya ready. By the time we were done, I smiled at my own reflection. We walked outside I smiled up at the sky and then we walked made our way to the church. By the time we got there butterflies scattered around in my stomach. I clutch down onto my knees. "Angela! Are you okay?" Asked Maya.

"Yeah. I'm fine. I just have butterflies scattering around in my stomach that's all." I said.

"Maybe we should cancel the wedding." Said Elli.

"N-n-n-n-NNNOOO!" I shouted. "The wedding must go one. Weather I'm sick or in health."

"Okay then." Said Maya.

Suddenly the bell rang as we walked into our section. Maya winked at me. I smiled at her as she walked in. Then I took a deep breath and counted to 5 as Elli grabbed my arm and walked in. I focus on Gill as I walked in. As I got to the front of the church, I stood in beside Gill and faced Perry. "Gill. Do you promise to love Angela in sickness and in health for as long as you shall live?" He asked. Gill looked at me and smiled.

"I do." He said.

"Angela. Do you promise love Gill in sickness and in health for as long as you shall live?" Asked Perry.

"I do." I said.

"Okay now repeat after me." Said Perry looking at Gill. "I, Gill, take you, Angela, to be my lawfully wedded wife, my constant friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence of God, our family and friends, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honour and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live."

Gill took a deep breath, turned to me, looked deep into my eyes and repeated the vow word-by-word. I was amaze. Gill was very good at repeated the vow. Perry smiled. "Okay, repeat after me." He said again and turned to me. "I, Angela, take you, Gill, to be my lawfully wedded husband, my constant friend, my faithful partner, and my low from this day forward. In the presence of God, our family and friends, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honour and respect you, to laugh with and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long we both shall live."

I too took a deep breath, looked into Gill's blue eyes and repeated the vow. I forgot some words as people chucked quietly to themselves. Gill smiled. "May you please represent the rings of honour." Said Perry. Chase came forward with a giant pillow with two wedding rings on top. Gill grabbed one ring and slip it onto my finger. As I did the same to Gill. Perry smiled. "You may now kiss the bride." He said. I wrap my arms around Gill's neck as Gill placed his hand on my waist as we fell into a silent but pleasant kiss. Once we stopped and looked at each other, everyone began cheering and clapping our hands. Then everyone headed outside. As me and Gill walked outside. Everyone once again clapped. I looked at my bouquet of flowers. I took a step forward, closed my eyes and threw the bouquet up into the air. It sparkle in the sunlight as it drop down. I caught the bouquet easily and smiled. Once the wedding was over, everyone left to get ready for the Gill's promotion, as me and Gill went back into the church. We smiled at each other. As we looked at the glass window with a picture of the harvest goddess. "Do you think, Vivian and Camilla, watch our wedding ceremony?" Asked Gill.

"I think they did. If they didn't then they always have your promotion too. Which is coming in 10 minutes." I said.

"Oh seriously."

"Yeah."

"Come on we better get going. A mayor never comes to a single festival late." Gill grabbed my arm and race me toward the Town Hall.

"Oh and Gill, nice suit your wearing." I giggled. Gill blushed.

"T-Thanks. It was a family tradition. Bought down to my father when he got married to Camilla." He looked at my dress and smiled. "What about your dress?"

"Also a family tradition. My mom wore this dress when she was getting married to my father."

"Oh."

By the time we got to the Town Hall, it was about to start. Gill went backstage as I took front row seats. Perry came in through the curtain and smiled. "Hello everyone. So now that the wedding ceremony is now done with. It's time for Gill promotion. Now let me tell you this now. Gill really worked hard for this promotion. He tried his best. And now...he finally gets his wish. Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls. Today's the day we celebrate for Gill's promotion to Mayor of Waffle Island." He said. Gill came out through the curtains as well and looked at the crowd.

Gill began his speech as becoming mayor. Then by the time that was over we walked home, hand in hand. By the time we got home. Gill carried me bridal style all the way up to my room and slam my bedroom door shut as together we made love. Today was the day that Gill is truthfully now mine. And I was glad. I'm happy that Luna and I are no longer going to fight over Gill like always. Gill is mine forever and ever. And that's the truth.
