Erytheia and Alexander's Story
Chapter Three: THE WEDDING!
Narrated by Erytheia Masterson
As I stood on the beach at Key Point, I silently congratulated Alexander for choosing this place as our wedding location. Despite it being winter, the weather was warm. Marrying in Myshuno Meadows, as his parents had done, wouldn't have been much fun if our teeth had been chattering whilst saying our vows.
Alexander went to stand under the arch as I greeted my family.
"How have I got a daughter old enough to be getting married?" Mum asked.
"Oh, don't," Dad joked. "She'll be having children next, and we'll be GRANDPARENTS."
"Hey, don't leave my brother waiting too long!" Helen grinned.

I walked down the aisle, feeling a little nervous, but mostly excited.
"Oh, darling, you look beautiful," Alexander smiled.
"And you look pretty handsome yourself."

"Erytheia Rose Masterson, I take you to be my lawfully wedded wife," Alexander said as he placed a ring on my finger.
"Alexander James Paraskevas, I take you to be my lawfully wedded husband," I replied, repeating the gesture.

And, of course, every couple's favourite bit of the day...

Later...
"Darling, what have you been doing?" I asked.
"Swimming! The water's great," he explained.
"Don't you want some cake?"
"Ooh, yes please."
We each took a bite; it tasted delicious.
"I'll come and join you in a minute. I want to chat to my family first, though," I said.
"Yeah, good idea."

And so...
"Ooh, you're right, this is lovely," I said.
"Not many couples get to swim at their own wedding," Alexander replied. "I don't think I'd want to live here full time, though. I like snow in winter."
"Yeah, same," I agreed. "We can always come here during the summer."
