Chapter Twenty Nine: Wedding
TODAY IS THALIA'S WEDDING! I can't wait! Like on my gosh! My sister is getting married! I can't believe it!
I jump out of bed and sprint downstairs, not even caring that it's five AM.
I make the fastest breakfast I can, a bagel straight out of the fridge and eat it quickly. Thalia comes running downstairs next, in clothes. Dang, she woke up before me.
"Hey Ivy." Thalia says.
"TODAY IS THE DAY" I shriek.
"I know! I know!" Thalia laughs.
"I can't believe it... my sister is getting married!" I say more to myself than Thalia.
"Yes, I am. Now, we must get ready! I promised Hazel she could do my makeup and hair because she has a magic touch." Thalia says.
"So she's coming over, 'cause the boys are at the Evans." I say.
"Yup. I'm going to put my dress on at the church." Thalia informs me.
"Okay, got it." I nod.
"I'm so excited!" Thalia squeals.
"Me too!" I squeal. I pull Thalia into a hug before making her eat.
Two hours pass by before mom, Ellie and Hazel come in.
"Hey girls." Ellie smiles.
"Hey!" Thalia and I say in sync.
"Upstairs Ivy! Time for makeup and hair! Then mom! Then Thalia!" Hazel orders.
"Right!" We all say, fake saluting to Hazel.
We get straight to work. Hazel instantly goes to my hair... Who knows what she's going to do with it. After a long while she moves on to my makeup, not letting me see myself. I scowl at her and she scowls back because apparently my scowl messed her up a bit.
After probably an hour and a half, Hazel finishes me. I look at myself in the mirror and gasp. My hair is perfectly curled and pinned back with a bow which is matching my dress. My makeup is simple yet elegant.
"MOM YOUR TURN!" Hazel screams downstairs.
"Ooh! Thank you so much Hazel! It's perfect!" I squeal.
"No problem. Now go help Thalia." Hazel orders.
"Yes ma'am!" I salute before marching out of the room. I pass Ellie on the stairs and she compliments my up do.
I end up helping Thalia with all her last minute preparations and all that jazz. Natasha comes in eventually too. And helps us all.
Finally it's Thalia's makeup turn and she goes off and we do everything for her.
After two hours Thalia comes down. She is stunning! Like beautiful! She doesn't even have her dress on yet! Her hair is in a series of twirls and swirls all pinned low on her head. Her makeup is plain nude colours. And no lipstick. Or else it would become ruined when she kissed Ken!
"Wow. You look amazing Thalia!" I breathe.
"Thanks Ivy." Thalia smiles.
"Okay, I'm going to do myself and then I'll do you Odette." Hazel says.
"Okay, call me when you're ready!" Mom smiles. From here on out we don't let Thalia do any thing but sit on the couch and play games on her phone. We take care of everything else. After my mom comes down, Hazel announces it's time to go. Ellie, mom, Hazel and I all get into our dresses. Natasha already being in hers.
We drive to the church and we all go like ninjas inside so no one will see Thalia. Once inside Thalia makes me drink the stuff that hides your wings and then she does so to herself. We help her into the dress then she waits in the back room while the church begins to fill up.
Our dad obviously isn't here so mom gets to walk Thalia down the isle.
Soon Kristen finds us in our hiding place and we start to talk like the girls we are.
After about half an hour everything is ready and everyone is here. Thalia comes out of her hiding place in the back rooms and waits at the doors to walk in. I smile at her before the music starts and I lead walking down the isle.
Everyone's eyes are on me as I take my place at the front. Next comes Kristen, then Ellie, then Hazel... finally Thalia and mom.
Thalia is a Goddess how she is now. She's absolutely beautiful. She looks right at Ken and her eyes light up. I smile, she's so amazing. I was so gifted to get a sister like her!
She gets to the front and the priest begins talking. I follow all of it. Finally my favourite part, how it's seen on movies, how it's written in books...
"Ken, do you take Thalia to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest asks.
"I do." Ken says, staring straight into Thalia's eyes.
"Thalia, do you take Ken to be you lawfully wedded husband?" The priest asks.
"I do." Thalia says, as she states right back at Ken.
"You may kiss the bride." The priest says. Ken leans down a little and pulls Thalia into a kiss. The audience goes into applause. I feel myself tear up a bit.
My sister is married. They sign the wedding papers and walk down the isle. Followed by me and the other bridesmaids.
We all get into the limousine waiting for us outside. It takes us to the hall where Thalia and Kens party is being held. It's absolutely beautiful! Decorated so amazingly!
The cake is already sitting on a table. It's huge! I'm telling myself not to go stick my finger in it and eat it... But my will to eat it now is stronger. I start to walk to it but Ken holds me back.
"That's for later Ivy." Ken says laughing. I turn to Thalia and Ken and finally burst.
"YOU TWO ARE MARRIED!" I shriek. Hazel laughs at me, and Thalia just gives me a weird look.
"Yeah, we are... Idiot." Thalia mumbles the last part.
"Oh shut up." I mutter before walking to the dance floor and spinning in circles.
Thalia rolls her eyes.
"Okay, everyone put all your stuff at your tables and then we go for pictures." Thalia says.
We all do as Thalia says before we get into the limousine again and head off to the park where pictures are being taken.
***
I think they've only taken, like, a million pictures! There's so many! When we finally get into the limousine again to go back, I think I'm dying of tiredness. Goodness.
We pull back up to the hall and wait for everyone who's coming to get there so we can do the introductions.
Once most people are there, the introductions start. First is the maid of honour and the best man... Me and Kens little brother, Fred.
"The maid of honour Ivy and the best man Fred." Says the DJ dude. We walk in and take our seats. Everyone else is introduced and then Thalia and Ken. They walk to the dance floor for their first dance.
But Thalia first walks to me.
"Ivy, we want to dance to A Thousand Years... And I'd like you to sing." Thalia says. I feel shy but I agree and walk over to the microphone. The music starts, I sing and Thalia and Ken dance.
When they finish every one gives a huge applause. Then, the DJ dude thanks me and I go to sit down as I watch the dance for Thalia and grandpa, because again, no dad, and Ken with his mom.
At the end of the dance the food comes out and chatter begins. The part of the party that is half outside is the dance floor. A huge wooden floor is set out and the speakers are there. But the doors outside are kept open and the doors are large enough for, like, FOUR zamboni's!
I watch as a few children run around the dance floor. Some of my cousins are the ones running around.
"Having fun?" Damian whispers into my ear, startling me.
"Yes. But you really shouldn't scare me! I almost released like a tidal wave." I say. Damian just laughs.
"Care for a dance?" Damian asks.
"I'd love to dance!" I smile. We walk to the dance floor and I easily slide into Damian's arms.
"I love you Damian." I whisper, staring into his electric blue eyes and admiring his white blonde hair.
"I love you Ivy." He says, staring right back. I reach up and peck him on the lips before resting my head on his chest.
We dance through three songs before Ken and I dance together and Thalia and Fred dance together, just for fun.
"I'm so happy for you!" I squeal to Ken.
"Thanks Ivy!" Ken laughs.
"I'm still not sure how'd you feel if your wife is stronger than you though..." I say. Ken just laughs.
"You realize I'm your brother now." Ken smirks.
"So, I can annoy you like I do too Devin right?" I ask.
"No you can't." Thalia says from where she's dancing with Fred.
"Oh I will." I say to Thalia with a big smile.
"You're two crazy sisters." Ken laughs.
"So?" I ask.
"Your point?" Thalia asks.
"And I love both of you for it!" Ken says. Thalia blushes and I smirk. I'm feeling the love today!
"Can you feel the love tonight?" I sing making everyone watching us laugh.
When the song ends I walk over to Devin and make him dance to Limbo with me. Well... He laughs most of the time, only because my dance moves are more advanced. I mean, the running man, that's some awesome dancing!
Damian joins us half way through the song, but he mostly laughs along with Devin.
At the end of the song we go off to eat more. Soon after the cake is cut and Thalia smushes some cake on Kens face which makes me break out into laughter.
We all eat the yummy chocolate and vanilla cake. My stomach is completely full by then and I want to keep dancing. So I go to the dance floor and dance and talk with my relatives that I haven't seen in forever.
Time goes by fast, and at around three in the morning Thalia and I head home. We drag Devin along with us.
I don't bother to stay awake for the ride, I just fall asleep in Devins arms.
"Night lil' sis." Devin says.
"Night Bubba." I murmur. Before completely drifting off.
