Well, Valentine's day was pretty awesome. My wife and I had a good time celebrating our first one as a married couple. One thing that I do for her is I write her a continuous story. There have been many past stories but they are all about a beautiful red-haired princess (Jen) and a handsome prince (me). I know most of you are like, that is so cheesy, but hey, cheesiness gets the girls! Here is the latest addition to the story. This particular story parallels our wedding.

Wedding Plans

The beautiful red-haired princess of Sholom was so happy and excited. The handsome prince of Alpine had finally asked her to marry him. She had been waiting for oh so long while he fought his battles to earn the money and the credentials to be worthy enough for her hand. He had slain many dragons and led many campaigns during the three years of their courtship which earned the respect and the blessing of the king of Sholom.
The prince and princess made many plans for the wedding. They had to choose a courier to go far and wide among all the kingdoms and announce their upcoming wedding ceremony. They chose a courier dressed in the color periwinkle and adorned with flowers in order to grab people’s attention. The princess also had to choose a dress. She went to many different seamstresses and finally decided on one with a strange name, David’s Bridal. The princess was never quite sure what to call her, David or Bridal but either seemed to work. The Seamstress was quite happy with the red-haired princess because she was perfectly formed and the dress needed no modification.
The prince then had to choose a special suit of armor for himself and his supporting knights. For himself, the prince chose shining silver. For his knights, the princess helped him decide to do periwinkle to match the princess’s ladies in waiting.
The last decision they made was about the music during the ceremony. There were many traveling minstrel’s available, but not just any would do. The prince and princess listened to many and found only one that would suffice. His name was CD Player. He was the perfect man for the job. He played every note perfectly, and he never changed a bit.
As the wedding drew closer, the beautiful princess and handsome prince grew anxious. The prince was fighting the last of his battles against “The Finals” before he and the princess could be wed. The princess on the other hand was counting down the days and putting the finishing touches on the wedding plans.
Finally, the day arrived. The prince and princess had a beautiful story-book wedding. The princess was so very beautiful in her gown and the prince looked very handsome in his shining armor. The two stood before the good friar, Kent Hartman, and made their vows before God and before men. Afterwards, there was a huge feast with all of the commoners and nobles alike. There was no discrimination. After the feast, the prince and princess embarked on their journey to the far-away land of Gatlinburg. They rode into the sunset on the princess’s faithful steed, Mazda Protégé. Now some may wonder why they did not take the prince’s steed and the answer is, they both had to take turns at the reigns and the princess could not handle the reigns of the prince’s great warhorse, Standard Transmission.

To be continued…

I hope you enjoyed it!

It's cool with the story, but the name of the princes... Sholom... I mean sounds so unattractive.
