Back to present:

Just as Bartholomew promised, everything got ready within two days. I wasn't really surprised because he said that we had been planning for a year so there wasn't a lot left to get done. But no matter how long we had planned it, there was always something to do and I almost didn't see Bartholomew for the following two days. I only saw him during meals and at night in bed. He did his best to smile but I could see that he was very nervous. But no matter how many times I asked, he insisted that everything was under control and that I didn't have to worry.

We didn't really have a lot of guests and therefore didn't plan a big ceremony. At first Bartholomew didn't seem excited at the thought of inviting Gardenia but I talked him into it and our list extended to Peridot, Gardenia and Zadimus. I didn't know the other people on the list and when I asked Bartholomew told me that they were people he worked with or people who worked for him at his company.

"If you don't like it we could run away and get married just the two of us instead."

I shook my head:

"No, it's okay.

-Are you sure? You are frowning."

I remembered that Bartholomew talked to me about Bonnie, my friend who got missing and I suddenly felt bad for forgetting about her. I knew that Bartholomew was doing everything he could to find her and there wasn't really anything I could do without my memories but I still felt bad for not thinking about her until now:

"Mewmew? Have you found Bonnie?"

Bartholomew pulled me into his arms before lifting me on his lap:

"I am sorry, kitten. I haven't found her yet.

-I don't remember her but if we were close then I would probably want her there. Maybe we should wait for her to come back."

Bartholomew opened wide eyes but immediately calmed down:

"We really don't have to. It's not the first time that she did this.

-Really?

-Yes. She likes running away from home.

-Why? Did something happen to her? That's more reason to wait for her."

Bartholomew brushed a lock of hair away from my face.

"Trust me, she won't be mad. Wouldn't she be mad on the contrary if you didn't get married because of her?

-I don't know..."

He kissed me on the cheek:

"This is our day, kitten. We have been waiting for this day for a year and she knows it.

-I guess.

-The most important thing is what you want.

-I... I don't want to wait. I want to marry you."

Bartholomew kissed me with such passion that I had to push him back:

"Keep some for the ceremony."

He laughed:

"I can't help it; you are so pretty.

-I don't even have the suit on yet.

-Do you need help?

-Don't you dare come in."

I ran away and soon it was time to do our private reveal. I wanted Bartholomew to be the first one to see me in my wedding suit and walked up to him as he had his back turned to me. We planned the reveal in front of a fountain in the garden of the mansion and as soon as he heard the door open, Bartholomew tried turning around:
