*~*Talia's POV*~*
Even though we weren't having the wedding until the afternoon, I was still up early in the morning. There was a lot to do, and I felt it was only right to be there with my mom as she prepared it all. I'd help if I was able to.
"Talia!" I heard Aunt Juniper calling me from the doorway as I finished eating my breakfast. "You little sneak!" She was laughing as she rushed over to me. "Why wasn't I told last night?"
"Hahaha, it didn't happen until late last night, there was no telling anyone except Mom and Dad."
"I don't care if it was three in the morning, I should have been called. I am your aunt, for crying out loud. I should know these things." She was grinning at me excitedly before hugging me with enthusiasm. "And you, Alexio. I am so happy you are joining our family. You're such a wonderful man." She pulled him into a hug next, and I saw the bewilderment in his eyes. The look was so stunned that it made me laugh.
