thaumobabbleThe traditional location for Enchanted Forest royal weddings is Fire-Flower Meadow. This is mostly because it is very large. Bella's only inviting her parents, a handful of friends including Kexan, and her cat; considerably more people are attending just because it's a royal wedding and they expect to be invited. Kazul is there, and a handful of other dragons besides her and Kexan too; they take up a lot of room in the back corner of the field.
Bella and Sherlock are not supposed to see each other in their wedding outfits until the right moment, so Bella is in her dressing room with her one non-Tony bridesmaid (Sanda, she from whom Cricket was obtained), letting the witch pin her hair up. Kanim is also serving as a Bella-bridesperson but he absented himself from the dressing room when it came time to get into the dress. The dress itself is fairly ordinary - cloud-white and sleeveless with one shoulder strap, an asymmetrical gather at the waist, hemmed at the knee for summer coolness. But it's embroidered with a thousand little glass beads tracing whorls along the fabric and following the folds that lead away from the gather. Into each of these beads Bella has imparted a little kiss of magic. They gleam with ripples of intense diamondlike fire when she moves. She admires herself in the mirror while Sanda fusses with braids and the curling iron. (Bella's hair isn't that long, and she wears it down all the time; for a special occasion some fuss is called for.)
Bella's hair is finished. She steps into her shoes (they're white and beaded to match, enchanted like her everyday moccasins so she won't trip down the aisle).
Cricket sidles into the room to tell her when it's time.
The ceremony itself is fairly simple.
Also, it involves kissing Sherlock! That's always good.
