An Era of Charming Tales: (Mike and Rose) Wedding Day!

“I cannot believe the day is finally here, Jack.  This has been the longest year of my life.”

Mike was overcome with the emotions that flooded his heart and mind as he dressed for the ceremony.

01-26-18_5-43-43 PM

“The day I met her at Prince’s concert in Windenburg, I knew right away I would fall in love with her.  For me, there was no escaping her presence.  She was like an intoxicating sweet fragrance in the air.  I was drawn in and felt dizzy around her!

12-09-16_2-59-12 AM (2)

Then I found out about the Quest to find a king.  I was dismayed!  Jack, I was was going to lose her before I ever had a chance to win her.

I knew I had to act.  I had to find my way into the quest.  It was a frightening experience.  You know the King was unhappy about my joining?  He finally relented and I truly believe our destinies were sealed that moment.

Our first date on the boat I knew I already loved her more than she could ever know!   My brain screamed at me to flee, this was too risky!  OH, but my heart held me fast.  I could not bear the thought of losing her to another.  I had to fight for her.

01-26-18_5-43-44 PM

Being in the challenge house was the hardest thing I have ever had to endure.  Watching her leave on an outing with another would send me spiraling into a dark place.  Every time I made it thru another challenge I was thankful and vowed to fight on.

The times I spent alone with her were nothing short of magical.  She always chides me about the wasted moonlight that one night up on the roof,”  Mike said with a twinkle in his eyes.  “Little did she know how I was struggling to keep myself from taking her in my arms and begging her to sail away with me.  I knew she would not so I stood fast.

01-26-18_5-43-45 PM

On that final day, when it was just you and me my dear friend, I was outside of myself with grief over the thought that she might not choose me.   I thought my heart would beat out of my chest as I walked toward her to hear my fate.  A rose or no rose … this was it!  How would I go on if there was no rose?

01-26-18_5-43-46 PM

I saw the rose and my heart lept out of my chest and my feet failed me.  All I could do is hold her and cry!  My beautiful princess had chosen me.”

01-26-18_5-43-47 PM

Looking at his best friend Mike finished with sincerity, “I know I am being insensitive, Jack.  I know that you were the one rejected and I deeply regret any pain caused you in this.  I am honored that you are my dear friend and my best man!”

Jack smiled.  He was not sorry he had lost the quest.  NO, in losing he had won.

“Hold still Rose,” Claudia admonished, “you are going to make me poke you with this pin.”

01-26-18_5-55-07 PM

“I am sorry, it looks perfect now.”

Rose White was feeling a bit queasy and holding still for all the dress adjustments was not making her feel better.

01-26-18_5-59-15 PM

Rosie walk in to see Rose clutching her stomach.  Taking her sister in her arms she confided, “Oh honey, I was there too.  Those butterflies are just temporary.  It is all going to be wonderful.”

01-26-18_6-06-29 PM

Rose White adored her sweet sisters.  They brought so much joy to her life.  What an honor it was to share this day with them!

01-26-18_6-15-31 PM

“Sissy face what is wrong,” Violet wiped the tears she saw falling onto Rose’s cheeks.

Rose stammered tearfully, “What if I am a bad wife and a horrid mother?  What if I am a terrible queen?  I don’t know if I can do this!”

“Oh stop being a goose dear sister!  You will be wonderful at whatever you do.   Now the music is playing so wipe your face,” Violet said as she pressed a hankie into Rose’s gloved fingers, “we will see you down at the altar.  Everything is going to be just fine.”

While Mike and Rose signed the marriage license, the family hurried off to the reception hall.  There was much to be done before the Bride and Groom arrived.

Aster had greeter duties.  Sassy Anchesenamon arrived first.  Aster thinks she is a “total crack-up” and, despite the cold, they enjoy a few moments of lively banter.

01-27-18_7-00-15 AM

Even princesses can assist the caterer with filling wine glasses (Prince’s private reserve of course) and making a refreshing iced tea (which will not get touched LOL).

01-27-18_7-00-20 AM

Claudia makes a quick check to see that everything is perfect as word of the Bride and groom’s arrival sounds.

01-27-18_7-01-49 AM01-27-18_7-08-42 AM

The food was divine!  The menu and recipes were strictly supervised by Rose White herself.

01-28-18_2-28-08AM

LOL I think Lexi likes those hairy knees (shhh I kinda do too ❤ ).

01-28-18_2-28-09 AM

Rosie enjoys some chat time with Mum.  She misses seeing her every day.

01-28-18_2-28-07 AM

The cake is cut .. you two be NICE! AWWW!

01-28-18_2-28-11 AM01-28-18_2-29-03 AM

“Thank you, dearies.”  Agnes was feeling a bit fatigued from the day’s festivities, so Maria brought a piece of cake to her while Lily watched over her for a few moments.

01-28-18_2-29-07 AM

Little Molly was dreaming of the cake she would have at her wedding one day (when she married that certain young redhead she has been crushing on).  Brother NO making fun!

01-28-18_2-29-08 AM

UH Molly, I think little redhead is crushing on someone too.

01-28-18_2-29-09 AM

We all will admit, Salome’ does look rather fetching in that dress!

01-28-18_2-29-10 AM

UGH!   Does anybody else smell something foul?

01-28-18_2-59-22 AM01-28-18_3-00-56 AM01-28-18_3-02-15 AM

As the clock ticks away the party gets a bit more lively.

01-28-18_3-02-16 AM01-28-18_3-02-17 AM01-28-18_3-02-18 AM

Come on ladies let’s shake it loose!

01-28-18_3-02-19 AM02-28-18_4-26-47 AM02-28-18_4-26-48 AM

Good grab Violet.  You must have REALLY wanted it and you know your Auntie Caroline needed it more than you!

02-28-18_4-26-45 AM

“Oh dear!” Caroline called out, “who left a piece of fruit on the gift table? TSK!”

02-28-18_4-26-46 AM

As the party continues for the guests downstairs the young couple sneaks upstairs for their own party.

02-28-18_4-54-04 AM

We will give them some privacy and take our leave here.

  1. I am soooo happy for them. The wedding was perfect! Rose was stunning in that dress. What a find! I was so excited, I read it too fast. I have to read it again before I can do a comment justice. Oh, but don’t think I’m happy with Evella showing up, I’m just to happy for Mike and Rose to rant about her, lol.

      1. Thank you, that means so much! And yes, I was honored to attend their wedding. I can’t believe it finally happened. It has been a long year, chewing my nails off to see how Mike would do. Still so happy for all the princesses and their men. Seeing Jack and Violet together tickles my heart! The photo shoot of Prince and Snow should be made into a portrait to hang in the castle. It’s gorgeous!

  4. Okay, I’m a little calmer now and I took my time going over the story again. Mike’s soliloquy was so touching, it brought tears to my eyes. Rose’s nervousness was spot on! What a beautiful bride though! Your shots of Mike and Rose getting ready were beautifully done. All the pics. in this episode were fabulously done, except a couple, and you know which ones I mean, lol. When I saw the Wicked Apple Witch behind Rose, I just wanted to be able to flick her right out of there! The photo shoot was devine! I’m still so excited, lol!

      1. I didn’t see what she did with it though. I hope it ended in the trash, not in her inventory. Sweet Caroline doesn’t need to carry that burden.

  11. What a fantastic wedding and I so loved the beginning with Mike having flashbacks of when he first met Rose and their dates during the Search for a King Challenge, and that Jack had no regrets about being the loser, although, as he says, he was the winner. All the dresses were lovely and I am glad that someone discovered the “tainted” fruit on the gift table. I love that line, “Who left a piece of fruit on the gift table. Tsk!” lol. I hope they threw it out. That Evella! I love all the photos and the photo shoots. So gorgeous. What a marvelous end (and new beginning) to the Challenge. You did a really great job and it doesn’t matter how long you took, it was amazing. Your heart and soul really went into these chapters. Bravo to you!

  12. Fantastic! Perfect! Stupendous! What else can I say? Wonderful…just beautiful. I wish I could have been there, but it was a great read. Rose’s dress, and Rose, were absolutely gorgeous. Mike is as handsome as ever. Grrr for Evella being there!!! Blast that witch!

    Will you continue to follow the life of Mike and Rose? Will they be your main legacy continuation, especially since Rose is the heir to the throne?

    I have to say I’m a bit scared for Caroline now. Hope she’s not feeling peckish :s

  16. What a beautiful wedding, absolutely love the dress! AThe photo shoot at the end was a touch of genius. Great way to see all the lovely couples. I had to scroll back and look through them twice.

    I’m sure the apple was a kind gift from a friend with not quite as much money as all those who were able to bring nice big wrapped gifts. Perhaps they can turn it into a pie or something to share. 😛

    1. Oh ty … I am glad … evil Evella has a huge ax to grind not only with the Charmings but especially with Bruno and rose red! We will be seeing more of her in the updates to come. The trouble is is that sometimes she is successful and sometimes well she’s not. If you get a chance go back to the earlier stories of an era of charming tale And you will see why she is angry with them. Essentially they “robbed” her of the throne that she got through duplicitous means.
