      I opened my eyes to the buttery sunshine of a Saturday morning. The sun rays illuminated the dust motes in the air and made them look like tiny orbiting planets.
      Before I could get up, I realized something.
      "Oh my Gods. . . I'm getting married today," I whispered to myself, then smiled wide.
      Before I could pull off the covers, my hand clutched something long and thin. I lifted it up, it was a red rose. I smiled again to myself, thinking about last night.

      Percy had taken me to the park and pushed me on the swing then I jumped off and attacked him with kiss. He had pulled me through the woods to a bush of roses. The leaves glowed a beautiful shade of jade and the roses swirled with mist around the illuminate petals. He plucked one and said that if I accepted it, he'd be mine forever. I took the rose, astonished by its beauty, and said of course. He had smiled then said thank you.
      "Zeus did the same with Hera, and I wanted to do it for you, so that you knew that no matter what, you'll never be rid of me and my obnoxiousness," he said playfully with a smug smile on.
      "Oh please, if I couldn't get rid of you by now, how am I ever going to?" I joked.
      "That's the spirit!"

      As I climbed off the bed, the dust motes stirred in the air like the orbit had been put on fast forward. I walked to my closet and put on some jeans and a t-shirt. My step-mom had picked my dress up earlier before I woke up to get the petals imprinted and all I had to do was wait for Mrs. Blowfis to come over and help with my hair.
      Percy and I had chosen to have our wedding under a pavilion at the beach, but not like those ugly green, dirty public beach, this one had beautiful blue-green waves and natural soft white sand. We would've had it at camp, but then mortals couldn't come in, so we picked the beach.
      Mrs. Blowfis came over later and put my hair up in some sort of intricate up-do. My hair piled in curls on top of my head with braids and swirls and all that sort of stuff. Sea-foam green chiffon flowers hung in my hair and she placed a tiny tiara of gray/silver metal in the middle to hook on my veil later. Then she got to experiment with my face.
      I felt like one of those plastic head make-up toys for toddlers as she applied layer after layer of eyeshadow and blush, then she would erase it and try another color scheme. She ended up using a pale green eyeshadow and pink shell lipstick with a light layer of red blush. Finally, the torture was over.
      My step-mom had then walked in, just in time, to give me my dress. They helped me slip in it then attached my veil. We went outside to Mrs. Blowfis' car and I climbed in the back. Percy had driven it here and was now sitting in the passenger side. I blew him a kiss and he smiled.
      When we arrived, Percy got out to go to his place at the head of the alter, but first he leaned through my open window and kissed me.
      "I'll see you later," I said. "Don't run off to chase a butterfly or dolphin or something, okay?"
      "Don't worry, I already said you can't get rid of me." he smiled wryly and winked.
      He turned and walked towards the set up wedding pavilion. When did he get so suave? Right after I asked my self that, he tripped and fell down. I stifled a giggle. You could always count on Percy to trip over his own two feet.

      "Aaah, oh my Gods!" I squealed. I tackled Thalia with a hug and asked her what she's been up to. We talked for maybe twenty minutes when Rachel came in in her bridesmaid gown.
      "Wow Rachel, you look so pretty!"
      "Me? Look who's talking! You're gorgeous, Annabeth. Percy's gonna' spaz." she laughed.
      "Oh, he already saw me in the dress."
      "But isn't that bad luck?"
      "Eh, I didn't really care. Whoever came up with that probably just didn't want her husband to leave her at the alter 'cause her dress was ugly."
      "Haha, yeah." Rachel laughed. "Hey Thalia, here's your dress, you should get ready."
      "'Kay, see you in a sec guys."
      Then Karissa walked in. She was new to camp, 17 and didn't need to go to camp til now, the lucky duck. She had offered to be flower girl. I smiled at her and she waved.
      "Annabeth, you look so pretty!"
      "Thanks Karissa, you too." I smiled. She had a creme gown with a pale green gauze sash around her middle, the flower girl dress.
      "I wish I could stay and chat, but I need to find our flowers, so see ya." She walked out.
      After she left I went wondering. I saw a tall shaggy guy over at the open bar eating silverware.
      "Grover!"
      He turned and dropped his half chewed fork as his eyes popped.
      "A-a-a-annabeth!" He tackled me with a hug and bleated in excitement.
      "You look stunning Annabeth! I'm so happy for you and Per-r-r-rcy!"
      "Thanks Grover, I missed you so much."
      "Hey Annabeth," a new voice sounded behind me.
      I turned, startled, to see Nico.
      "Oh, Nico don't do that! You freaked me out."
      "Sorry," he smiled sheepishly.
      "ANNABETH!!" another voice boomed behind us. Where were they all coming from? I turned to see Tyson bounding up to us with his arms outstretched for a hug. Oh crap.
      "Aah! Tyson don't smush me! Hugs are good, attack's are bad!" He stopped right in front of us and said sorry, but still had to give me a huge hug.
      "Tyson --! Can't -- breathe!" I gasped.
      "Sorry, Annabeth. I missed you. Where is my big brother?"
      "At the alter, next to Poseidon."
      "Yaaay! I will see you later, Annabeth. And Goat-boy and Son of Hades." He happily bounded off to make Percy his second victim to his hugs-of-death.
      I smiled and turned to Grover and Nico "Well I gotta go for now, see you guys later." I waved as they said bye.
      When I got back to my special bride-and-bridesmaid-only tent, Rachel and Thalia were ready with an arrangement of flowers in their hands. Standing next to them was Karissa holding her basket of soft pink rose petals and my step-mom holding my flowers.
      She came up to me and handed me the flowers, then embraced me with a hug.
      "Are we all ready to go?" she asked.
      "Yep," my dad said as he walked in.
      "Hey Dad," I greeted him.
      "Hey kiddo," he smiled.
      I took his arm in one hand and held my flowers in the other as the familiar wedding march began and Karissa walked down the isle dropping petals followed by Thalia and Rachel.
      "I love you, Dad," I said as we walked down the isle.
      "I love you too, Annabeth. I'm so happy for you."
      I didn't get to finish talking to him because a new pair of hands had just replaced his. I looked up into Percy's eyes and could see in his face the same thing he saw in mine: pure love. Travis came up with the rings and handed them to us. We both slipped each others ring on our fingers. Before Travis took his place behind Tyson, he looked at Karissa behind me and winked as she giggled and blushed.
      Poseidon began the vows. With so many half-bloods with ADHD in the room, the atmosphere during the vows was like a tangible mist of boredom. If Percy hadn't been standing up, I swear he would've fell asleep. I zoned and looked around the at the scene. Behind Percy stood Grover, Nico, Tyson, then Travis and behind me stood Thalia, Rachel, then Karissa. I could see Karissa and Travis exchanging  goo-goo eyes and Tyson was looking at everything and swinging his arms in circles. My step-mom sat between my dad and Mrs. Blowfis who sat next to Percy's step-dad Mr. Blowfis on her other side. Next to my dad was a dark haired woman who wore a white gown with gray sparkles on it and gray crystal owl earrings to match her shining gray eyes, my mother, Athena. She smiled and nodded to me.
      "Do you, Perseus Jackson, take Annabeth Chase as your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, from this day forward until death do you part?"
      "I do," he said, and I could hear the ring of pure love in his voice that I had seen in his face before.
      "And do you, Annabeth Chase, take Perseus Jackson as your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, from this day forward until death do you part?"
      My throat choked up and my eyes filled with water.
      "I do."
      "You may now kiss the bride," he announced and closed the big vow book in front of him with a thud.
      Percy leaned into me and I kissed him. My heart thudded and pounded and I could feel my cheeks burning red with blush as the crowd cheered. I threw my arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around my waist. My leg popped up like in those old sappy love movies and he lifted me off the floor to spin me around.
      The crowd whooped and cheered, especially Tyson.
      "YAAAAAAY!!!" he jumped up and down and clapped his huge hands and I almost fell over.
      We flowed into the reception party and sat down at our special table. I looked around at the people here to spend this most wonderful of days with us. Funny, it looked like there were more people here than we invited. Before I could ponder over this some more, I saw Grover at the groomsmen table across from us chewing on the table cloth and looking absolutely frightened. He stared at some people I didn't recognize with a look of pure horror then glanced at Percy with a look that said Run!
      Oh no, bad luck did come! Or was it just that there was so many half-bloods here for such a long period of time that the monsters had smelled dinner waiting?
      I couldn't think on this too long for the wedding-crashers changed into the same cannibals I helped Percy battle in 7th grade! The Laistrygonians! Or in English, Canadians.
      I looked at Percy and he had on a murderous face. He pulled out Riptide and attacked. I unstrapped my knife's from my leg under my dress (kept there just in case) and charged. This was my wedding day, and no blundering, over-grown idiots were going to ruin it for me.
yaay, wedding day for Annabeth! :D and :iconaquatwin: gets her Percy awkwardness, yaay!! XD
