Storytelling Week 2: The Royal Wedding

It was finally the day, the day that everyone from the princes of far off lands to the homeless families in the park had been waiting for. It was the day of the royal wedding. Both  Prince Raymond and Princess Sandy were getting ready on opposite wings of the huge castle, that will soon be theirs, while everyone was flooding in dropping off all of the presents. They got everything from fine china and diamonds, to flower arrangements and letters. They both could not focus on the presents all they could focus on was that happy moment when they will be names man and wife. Of course they knew they did not need all of these gifts but the public and their family and friends insisted on the. You see, these are rulers that the public was actually excited about having. This event had been int he works for months upon months. It took countless amounts of time preparing and getting everything perfect for their special day. Both the bride and groom could feel the clock ticking down to the time when the bride would make it down the isle.

Finally the clock struck five in the afternoon and the doors flung open to reveal the blushing bride. The groom waited for her as she took the long walk down the isle. He waited at the bottom of the stairs to help escort her up to the alter. They both stared at each other as they vows began, soaking in this moment neither of them ever wanted to forget. The groom was told to cherish her all the days they lived and he said I do. The bride was asked similar vows and she promised to keep those as well. Then the whole church bowed their head and prayed and the holiest priest in the land blessed them and their marriage. The Princess was then honored for grace right before the priest declared them man and wife.

It did not take long for the music to fill the air and for the party to start. After music started to be blasted and the celebration had just begun the Prince took his princess away for the evening so they could celebrate their night on an intimate level. Even though the bride and groom had left, the town kept the part going for long after, celebrating the new couple that would rule over them. The whole town partied for a long time because they knew this was going to be the start of something great for the country.

Authors Notes:
 I tried to make it a modern day wedding day where the groom and bride are both a prince and a princess. I tried to describe the presents in detailed newer items and then go into the normal ceremony and talk about the guests and them celebrating together and wandering off to their honeymoon. I think this will hopefully make a interesting and relatable piece where it is easier to understand the story.

I think I want to make it a modern day wedding day where the groom and bride are both a prince and a princess. I think I  can describe the presents in detailed newer items and then go into the normal ceremony and talk about the guests and them celebrating together and wandering off to their honeymoon. I think this will hopefully make a interesting and relatable piece where it is easier to understand the story.
