Along the way

Commander Rich stepped out the front entrance with the family following close behind him in an elegant formation arranged by Mrs. Green herself to immediately identify the bride and groom and the wedding party along with the importance of the other members of the family.

Lexi immediately stopped Not moving a muscle. Almost causing Karmen to collide right into her back. The beautiful smile fell from her gorgeous face with a frown taking its place. Creasing her brows to tightly tug together ,she started at the sight in front her with disappointment in her clear blue eyes.

Alex glanced down at his beautiful bride who looked as if she was going to turn around and run back into the castle . "What's the matter Sweetheart." He ask, tugging on her arm slightly to have her continue walking.

She sighed " I thought we were going in the carriage. Alex .I don't want to ride in that." She whined pointing at the Semi- trailer truck setting in front of the three luxurious black limousine in front of the castle.

"Sweetheart, the Carriage is inside the trailer with the horses. We will be riding in the limousine until we reach the edge of the City. Then the horses will be unloaded and hooked to the carriage. " Alex explained trying not to laugh at his beautiful bride while he tugged gently on her arm.

"Are you sure?" Ask peering up at his handsome face

Alex grinned " Yes, sweetheart, now come we're going to be late." He coaxed her gently tugging on her again to finally get her to walk forward.

When Lexi started walking again,Mrs. Green who had almost suffered a heart attack when the bride refused to walk down the stairs . Took a deep breath saying a silent prayer with her heart pounding in her chest. She anxiously waited to direct them to the correct limousine. She Had placed everyone in line to create a elegant presentation forming a flawless fanning motion for the cameras.

Commander Rich halted at the the bottom step. He stepped to the the side holding himself at attention as the Royal family past by him headed into the direction of the limousine they where assigned . A driver stood beside each car holding the door for them to gracefully get into the black limousines.

Lexi and Alex as the bride and groom set in the first limousine with her parents, Mother

Sophia and Ethan who had escorted her . Karmen , Jackson, King Evander , Harper , Nana and Papa set in the second limousine. And in the third limousine Brooklyn set with her Parents and Karmen's parents.

After everyone was seated in their assigned limousine Commander Rich got into last car beside Brooklyn. He brought his hand up to his chest pushing the button connecting his headset to speak with the driver of the semi- truck. "Area is secure, and all the horses are in the stable, your clear to leave."

Immediately afterwards the Semi- truck hauling the black carriage and four black horses started moving towards the front gate followed by the three black limousines each one of them briefly stopping to let the gate open for them to continuing forward on to the highway.

Out on the highway barracudas had been placed along the side of the road while armed guards stood at attention about every twenty feet or so. People along with news crews lined up shoulder to shoulder behind the wooden barracudas just to get a glimpse of the wedding procession leaving the grounds of the Castle.

The drivers drove slow to let people take pictures and wave, some waved both Kingdoms flags and even held up signs showing their supports for the young mixed couple. While others just came out to the side of the road to watch the limousines pass by.

After the Royal caravan passed where the people had been standing most rushed towards their cars to take the mountain pass back into the city to get another view of their King and his beautiful bride on their wedding day. All of the citizens excited to get a glance at the future Queen's wedding dress at the big revile in front of the public records office. Until Alex and Lexi step out of the carriage to go inside the building to file for their marriage license extreme measures have been put into place to hide her wedding gown from the cameras. Along with the air space at the Castle being restricted a large black tarp had been placed on the iron gates in front of the Castle to prevent anyone from seeing the bride get into the limousine.

After traveling about twenty miles the big semi truck in front of the limousines stopped in the middle of the road .Commander Rich called out on the radio ." Where here open the gate so the tuck can go back to the barn."

Lexi leaned over Alex to see where they were at but couldn't see anything except more people standing on the side of the road. " Where are we at, and what are we doing? She asked Alex curiously.

Sweetheart we are at our Mansion, and this is where we will be getting into the carriage for the trip into town." He explained.

"Our Mansion?"

" Yes Sweetheart I had this place built before my father died but never got a chance to move into it." He tilted his head to look at her and ask "You didn't expect me to live with my mom and dad all my life did you?"

"Well I guess I never thought about it before. She said, as the caravan started to move again. After the truck passed through the the iron gate and head down the long winding driveway through the forest. The limousines followed close behind it until they reached the front entrance of the Mansion. Mother Sophia knocked on the glass window separating the passengers from the driver. When the window slide down she ask the driver to pass her a large white box that was setting in the seat beside him.

Taking the box she immediately handed it over to Lexi. " Here darling put this on" she said

"What is this Mother Sophia ?" She ask, holding the box in her lap as she took the top of the white box and lifted the white tissue from the top of the contents. To reveal white silk material adorned with Crystal's and pearls.

It's a cape darling to cover your wedding dress. Everyone has been awaiting the big reveal in front of the public records office.

This isn't a restricted air space like at the castle someone could fly a drone above snapping a picture of your beautiful dress and post it on social media." She explained, gently patting Lexi's thigh ,she said " Now hurry darling put it on, you wouldn't want to spoil the surprise. Now would you?"
