The Selection

The Wedding

I stand in the hallway in my long, flowy, white bridal gown. Belle fixes my curled bun while Sara hands me my bouquet of red roses.

I'm a bundle of nerves until the music starts. The grand hallway doors open and I walk into the garden following the red carpet path that leads me to the love of my life.

My family and friends are to my right while Cole's were on the left. Ireland is my maid of honor and the other bridesmaids are Bethany and Katherine. The flower girl is of course Princess May. I feel completely honored to have my father walk me down the aisle.

I do truly feel like a Queen. After the I do's, come the pledges to the country and our people. Then, I will be Queen Georgia Schreave with my royal husbandness, King Cole Schreave.

I smile as I pass the selection girls. Most held smiles, fake or real. Only a few maintain a scowl or ignore me all together. Either way, I am glad to see that they are here.

After somehow managing to walk gracefully down the aisle, my father stops and plants a small kiss on my forehead. Finally, I step up an stand by Cole.

His eyes grow wide and he mouths how beautiful I look. I blush profusely and turn to the priest before us, a smirk like grin is still plastered on my face.

The priest talks for a while but I don't exactly pay much attention. I mostly sneak glances at Cole to see him doing the same. Before I know it, come the vows.

"Georgia my sweet, the first time I saw you in the selection was when you scaled down the palace walls to reach the garden. You instantly struck me as determined. That is a special trait only given to special people. I have loved you through this entire process and even before that. When I saw you at a shoe store and my cousin told me to get your number. You grew bigger in my mind and heart when I saw you at the market. I saved you and you saved me. I hope we can forever keep that. I'll love you forever Georgia." Cole announces. Tears slide down my cheek and I smile.

"Cole. The thought of entering this selection always made me cringe but when I met you for the first time, and I knew that it was you, I felt completely wrong about that. You have always been so kind and caring and even though it took me a while to realize that I love you. And I promise that through everything, I will always love you." I smile and the priest announces to kiss the bride.

We lean in. I wrap my arms around his neck and our lips touch. In sequence the part and come together. Not wanting it to last too long I backed away smiling.
