This is a shortish but sweet chapter. I hope you enjoy it, next chapter should be up soon.

AMERICA'S POV

"Miss, miss. Wake up!" Mary shouted at me.

"Five more minutes, please. It's my wedding day." I complained.

"Yes and we have to get you ready." Marlee stated, flopping down onto my bed and pulling the cosy duvet from me.

"Fine. What time is it?"

"It's half nine." Mary told me, as she left to run my bath.

"What? Why didn't you get me up earlier?" I groaned as I jumped out of my bed and ran over to the bathroom. Mary laughed at me as I quickly undressed and jumped in as soon as she turned the taps off.

"What happened to you wanting another five minutes? She laughed.

"No time. The wedding starts in three and a half hours. I don't have time to sleep, I'll sleep later."

"I don't think you'll do much sleeping tonight!" Shouted Marlee from the other room. I rolled my eyes as I heard her giggles.

"She is right you know." Mary smiled.

"Ok. Everyone shut up. There's too much to do to be gossiping." I shouted, which was met by a chorus of giggles. After I was thoroughly washed and dried I walked back through to the bedroom.

"Time check?" I demanded.

"Ten fifteen." Lucy shouted back from inside my wardrobe where she was making last minute changes to the dress.

"Ok. We have two hours people. Hair-Mary, make-up-Marlee, dress-Lucy, Amy-help where needed." I pointed at each girl respectively and sat myself down at the mirror. There was a knock at the door. "Who is it?"

"It's me. Can I talk to you for a sec?" Maxon's voice came through the door.

"No!" Marlee yelled back. "You can't see her until one!"

"Please? I just want to talk."

"I'm not in my dress or even had my hair done yet. It's just a few minutes." I whisper to my maids, they nod and walk out, leaving the door open for Maxon to enter. Maxon came in and was followed by a man who was holding a book. I pulled my robe tighter around my body and stood to greet Maxon and this guest.

"Darling. You look lovely, as always." Maxon said kissing me on the cheek.

"What's up? Because I really do need to start getting ready."

"Come over here." He took my hand and led me out to the balcony. "I've been keeping something from you." He started and I just stared at him, fairly sure I knew what he had kept had been about. "There have been threats of an attack today. We've doubled and tripled the guards but there is no promise that that will keep them away. I didn't tell you because I worried that you would want to cancel it again. And I so desperately want to be married to you, the sooner the better." He nodded to the other man who then came through the balcony doors. "So I figured, why wait until this afternoon? If there's a disruption and we're already married then we won't care, and if there isn't then we'll have an extra few hours of married life. What do you say?" He held my hands and I just nodded, I couldn't think of any words at that time. "Well, this is Reverend Paul and he'll be marrying us today." He smiled, neither of us taking our eyes off of one another.

MAXON'S POV.

I smiled at my beautiful bride as she ran to put on a dress and get Marlee and Carter to come in as witnesses. Eventually Carter came out and Marlee rushed into America's wardrobe to get her ready.

"So. Are you ready to get married?" Carter asked.

"Yeah. I think so."

"Are you sure? Because everything changes when she walks through that door. Believe me."

"I love America, I want to marry her." I told him

"I'm not saying you don't. I'm just saying that nothing will be the same between you. You will be partners, not just a couple." I smiled.

"I know."

And then Marlee came in, closely followed by the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. She was wearing a pastel green dress, I think I'd seen her in it before but, she had never looked this radiant. She had paired it with a silver diamond necklace and white shoes with small heels. I smiled at her and took her hand as she joined me in front the Reverend. We just stood there, staring at each other, I wasn't even paying attention to anything other than her.

"Do you America Singer, take thee Maxon Schreave to be thy lawfully wedded husband, to honour and to keep, to cherish and to keep, for better for worse, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

"I do." She smiled and I could feel tears threatening to fall.

"And do you, Maxon Schreave, take thee America Singer to be your lawfully wedded wife, to cherish and to keep, to love and to hold, for better for worse, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

"I do."

"Then, by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride." I kissed her softly but could feel that we both wanted more, but it wasn't currently appropriate.

"Can I please have ten minutes alone with my wife?" I asked our guests, Marlee smiled slyly and nodded.

"Ok, but just ten minutes, so no hanky panky. Save that for tonight." She giggled, grabbed Carter's hand and the two of them followed Rev. Paul out the doors.

I practically dragged America over to the bed and threw her down, pinning her down and kissing her lightly all over her face before leaning in for a deep kiss that somehow ended up with her lying on top of me on the bed.

"I love you my royal husbandness." She whispered, laughing slightly.

"I love you my America Schreave." I whispered back and flipped us over so I was on top, before kissing her again. Everything was perfect and now I only had to get through the next wedding.

So, hope you enjoyed it and I'll write again soon. Please review!
