Trinity
~~
I celebrated my twenty-third birthday. Reece and I celebrated our fifth Valentine's Day together and then our fourth wedding anniversary, time was passing, and things were going great.
Just after the year had started, I had gotten a message from Aunt Glory letting me know that her and Trevor were finally getting married. She had wanted to wait at least a year before they tied the knot.
Aunt Glory didn't want to wait on the wedding because she didn't trust Trevor, but more because it was common for 'most' Fae to be engaged for years before they ever got married. They were basically immortal and didn't have to worry about aging too much if they didn't get married soon enough.
Hey, speaking of not aging, I had noticed that everyone around me started to either age really slowly or not at all. Ever since I became the Luna Queen it was like everyone had frozen in time. I wondered if that was only during the time that I was alive, the time that I was ruling, or if it was permanent. I guess time would tell.
Anyway, as far as the wedding plans for Aunt Glory and Trevor went, they had chosen to get married in April, after my wedding anniversary and that business at the beginning of the year. They thought that would be perfect and I couldn't have agreed more. They were set to get married on Friday, April the eleventh. We were all preparing to head there and finish helping them finalize wedding plans and plan the parties.
"Trinity! Reece!" Aunt Glory ran to greet us the moment we stepped into her private study. I saw that Trevor was there, still looking the same as ever in his black suit pants, untucked and half buttoned dress shirt, and wild appearance. He was a sight for sore eyes and hugged me as fiercely as Aunt Glory had.
"I've missed you both." I told them the moment that I was set back on my feet. That was also when I spotted Athair mòr and Daciana. I went to Athair mòr and hugged him as well, holding the now almost nine month old Talia in my arms. "I've missed you, Athair mòr." Even though he came to all the meetings he had been asked to attend, it never felt like enough time.
"I have missed you too, Trinity."
"It is so nice to see you again, Queen Trinity" Daciana was still nervous around me and called me that every time that she spoke to me.
"Daciana, you're about to become my step great great great grandmother, I think we can drop the formalities." That caused everyone in the room to laugh, aside from the children that is.
"I..I..I guess you're right."
"Did I tell you?" Athair mòr looked at me excitedly.
"Tell me what?" I was confused for a moment but let him continue.
"Daci and I are getting married in a joint ceremony with Glory and Trevor."
"Oh my Goddess, really?" I felt the damn burst inside of me and released all of my excitement.
"Uh oh, how does Winnie the Pooh feel about that?" Reece joked as he looked at his friend of many years.
"Shut up, Scamp." Trevor snapped at him with a tinge of pink in his cheeks.
"Actually, it was his suggestion, and I thought it would be amazing as well. There will be separate parts for both of us. It is not like we will be going up at the same time." Aunt Glory was explaining it to us.
"That's right. I suggested it to give my future brother-in-law a special part of the day as well. He has been waiting for this day for a long time as well."
"Won't it diminish the joy you all feel for that day?" I was slightly worried about it, but I knew that they probably thought about that as well.
"We've talked about it and I think that it will just make the memories that much sweeter. When we talk about it in the future, we can reminisce about how much we all enjoyed that day for our own reasons." Aunt Glory truly seemed to be happy about all of this.
"As long as you're happy then, so am I." I smiled at them and thought about how wonderful this upcoming wedding was going to be.
Following that discussion, it was my job to work with Aunt Glory and Daciana to get some parties planned. I was basically trying to make the bulk of it all a surprise to them so that neither of them knew what was really going to be there. This was going to be their bachelorette parties after all and they needed to be slightly surprised about it all.
Given that we were in the Fae compound and there were a lot of different things that were here that I could never find in the human world, I decided to enlist the help of some of my other family members here to make this perfect.
The entire night ended up being a party in a magical clearing. There were going to be lights made from magic, bubbles that were basically pure liquor, music that literally came from nowhere and everywhere at the same time. There was good food, lots of fun, and plenty of laughs.
I did learn a lot about Aunt Glory's younger days during that night. Daciana's as well. They had both lived such long and interesting lives that I couldn't get enough of their stories. Maybe one day I can convince them all to write an autobiography or something. Maybe.
Before I knew it, we had been at the Fae compound for a couple of days and it was the day of the wedding. We were all busy getting ready for the big show, or should I say that we were busy being prepared for the day since none of us, not me, Aunt Glory, or Daciana, were allowed to do our own hair, makeup, nails, any of it. We were being forced to let 'experts' handle it all.
At least I wasn't the only one that was being distrusted. I wasn't the only one that people thought was incapable of doing these things for themselves. OK, I guess that they didn't think that way, we were all just royalty, or soon to be. That meant that we needed to be pampered before things actually began.
Oh well, I put up with it for now.. It was the day that Aunt Glory and Athair mòr were both marrying their mates, and they both deserved it too.
