Chapter Three
Soon Gwen and Jessika came into her room. All four were together again, like when they were children.
They used to have tea parties, play hide and seek pretend they were fairies. As they grew older the four would go to balls and make eyes at one another when they found a gentleman they found attractive.
"Oh Rey your hair is so long now" Jessika said as she was braiding her hair into a look for her wedding rehearsal.
"I haven't cut it" she said.
Women didn't cut their hair till they had a child, and it was seen as beautiful to have long hair, no matter the color, texture or thickness.
Jessika has black hair, down to the small of her back as Gwen, a mother and wife longer than the rest, had her hair just past her shoulders. And Rose wore hers just a tad bit longer than the small of her back . But Rey's was at her bottom.
"What color are your bridesmaids gowns ? My mother said that the queen had picked them out but I haven't a clue of their style" Rey said as Rose lightly applied powder under her eyes to hide her lack of sleep.
"They're a beautiful green, with emerald headpieces. These very comfortable shoes. White lilies, baby's breath." Gwen said as she pulled out some shoes for Rey.
"Will you all be getting me ready like this every day ?" She asked.
"No not every day. Important events, like balls, galas and if we're bored" Rose laughed.
"Lord help me" Rey joked.

"Alright, so it will first be Armitage and Gwendoline, then Jessika and Poe and finally Rose and Finn, then the flower girl, little Milly" Leia said to the wedding party.
Milly was wearing a pretty pink dress with a basket of fake flowers for now.
She was the flower girl, mainly because she was the highest noble child and her father was best man while her mother was a bridesmaid.
"Then Audrey will walk down and we'll go from there" Leia continued.
The wedding party stood at the doors and Benjamin stood at the Alter while he mother was standing to watch the entire rehearsal.
Rey stood behind the door as Leia listened to the band to find the perfect moment for the couples begin to walk.
Milly has ran to Rey, Rey was holding a fake bouquet of flowers. "You're wearing pink like me !" Milly said happily to her. Milly was most likely 5, 6 at most, but still incredibly bright.
Rey looked down and smiled "why you're right". She was wearing a long pink gown with a similar width and length as her wedding gown. It had little sliver flowers on the bodice.
"Are you gonna marry uncle Ben?" She asked.
"Yes" Rey told her she was bubbly and bright.
"But I'm still Uncle Ben's favorite niece right? You don't have any brothers or sisters with babies ?" She asked
"Oh course" Rey bent down to speak to her face to face. "In fact I bet you'll always be his favorite" she said brushing back a lock of her red hair.
"Promise ?" Milly asked with wide eyes now sitting in Rey's knee.
"Promise" she smiled. Milly kissed her cheek.
"Can you be my auntie Audrey" she asked.
"No" she said and Milly frowned "my close family and friends call me Rey. I'll be your Auntie Rey" she said and Milly smiled.
"Millicent ! Come now it's time for you to go" Gwen said and she stood up away from the bride.
Once all the couples had walked the bridal procession began. Rey walked slowly down the aisle.
She walked down slowly like Leia had instructed. She then handed her bouquet to Rose who was standing close to her.
"We'll all just do the vows tomorrow. Do you Benjamin Anakin Skywalker Solo, Duke of Alderaan, crowned prince of Naboo take Audrey Lilliana Morningstar, Viscountess of Antilles to be your lawfully wedded wife and take the title of Viscount of Antilles?" The priest asked.
"I do" Ben said in his deep Hawaiian voice.
"And do you Audrey Lilliana Morningstar, Viscountess of Antilles take Benjamin Anakin Solo-Skywalker, Duke of Alderaan, Crowned prince of Naboo to be your lawfully wedded husband and to take the title of Duchess of Alderaan and Crowned Princess of Naboo" he said.
"I do" she agreed.
"By the power vested in by the Royal Church is the force I know pronounce you Viscount and Viscountess, Duke and Duchess, Crowned Prince and Princess" he took a beat, almost as to catch his breath "husband and wife. You may kiss your bride" he said.
She was nervous, would he kiss her, should she kiss him. He leaned forward and pressed his cheek to hers.
"Wonderful" Leia said "now you two will walk hand and hand down the aisle, no wait. First Rosalie will hand Rey her bouquet then they'll walk down. And then Rose and Finn, Jessika and Poe, Hux and Gwendoline then little Millicent".
The group did as they were instructed and ended at the back of the chapel. "He's here" Leia said and a little boy came out. Arthur, Luke's son who was 7 came.
"Well being again, no need to go over vows. Just the walk there and walk back." Leia said. Ben walked back to his space and the rest stood as Leia explained that Arthur would walk before Milly then the two younglings down the aisle after Gwendoline and Hux.
They finished and Arthur and Milly ran off to Ben. "Ben!" Arthur said tackling Ben onto the floor when he kneeled down to him.
"You've gotten so big!" Ben said scuffling his hair.
Arthur has blue eyes so blue it made the sky jealous. He was Luke's only child. Luke often called him Artoo, because he joked he was named after a horse with blue eyes he once had.
"I know and I lost two more teeth" he said opening his mouth and showing the bottom teeth missing. "Daddy said that I might have more missing by spring !"
"I bet you will" Ben said.
Leia then clapped her hands and explained she wanted to do the walk once more so she could have Artoo practice the walk now with the ring pillow.
-A.N.-
I wanted Luke to have a son. Thus Artoo, and I wanted him way to young to be competitive with Ben. I wanted to write Ben like a cool uncle/ older cousin because we never really see him with kids
