I walk down the steps of the castle into the grand hall where my maman and papa are waiting for me. All of my bridesmaids help me with the giant train as my papa looks up at my proudly. He has tears in his eyes as he embraces me and kisses me on the forehead.
"Ma magnifique princesse. Vous êtes un ange. Je suis si fier de toi. Je t'aime." I feel a tear run down my cheek at his words that mean so much to me. (Translation: My gorgeous princess. You are an angel. I'm so proud of you. I love you.)
My maman walks up to me and embraces me in a hug.
"Je t'aime mon bébé, ne l'oublie pas. rends-nous fiers aujourd'hui." She kisses me on forehead and lets me go, fixing the veil on my head. (Translation: i love you my baby, dont forget that. make us proud today.)
We say goodbye and my maman and papa leave the castle in the car. We watch people arriving in the church on a TV as it's being streamed across the world.
We watch as thousand of people flood around in the streets and invited guests take their seats. My maman and papa arrive with cheers of everyone around them. They walk in and take their place next to my family.
People cheer as Prince Nicholas arrives in a car. He walks up to the church and shakes peoples hands, greeting them all. He is really nice but I'm still doubting this.
He walks through the church and talks to more people then walks out through a gate at the side of the church. Julie grabs my hand and reassures me.
"Don't worry, I'll always be here for you." I lean into her and she hugs me.
More cheers sound as King William and Queen Margaret arrive and take their seats with their family. I take a deep breath as I realise this is starting to get real.
"I need all the bridesmaids in the cars. That includes you Juliet." Juliet giggles at Pascal's comment and kisses me goodbye. I sit in front of the TV, watching them get in the cars and listening to the bells playing in the church.
Pascal sits next to me as we watch more and more people arrive.
"This is being broadcasted everywhere. There is like a million people on the streets watching this let alone the whole world." I start to freak out realising how big this event it.
"Relax Antoinette. You will be just fine. I will be sitting in the crowd by your side the whole time. If it gets too much, just look at me." I smile and thank him.
"We have to go." A guard from the front of the castle alerts us and we stand up. Pascal walks in front of me and some other guards walk beside me to keep me covered from the paparazzi as I enter into the car.
Once I get in, they try their best to fit the whole train but I'm pretty much suffocated. I thank them all and the car starts and we drive down to the church.
