Natalie couldn't believe it. She was getting married....
without a choice.
She'd always thought she'd have some fairytale wedding with her Prince Charming, and they'd ride on a horse into the sunset with her veil flowing in the wind. Nope. Not according to her parents. She didn't even know his name until today. That's the only thing she knows about him, and she's staring at her picture perfect reflection in the mirror, wearing the old-fashioned white dress every bride dreams of, except this one. "Mom, I still don't see how this is a good idea at all..."
Her mother sighed heavily, and she wondered if she'd ignore her. "Mo-"
"Natalie, please. This is for the betterment of us. Just bit your lip and marry the boy."
Natalie swallowed and opened her mouth to protest, but was shoved out the door, where all eyes were on her. Her veil covered her face quite well, but she could still see to walk. Her nerves were on edge, and she felt like crying, but held it all back.
Mentally, she was preparing herself for the ugliest, fattest, weirdest, loser guy standing at the altar. God, she hoped he was at least reasonable.
partying with his friends, applying for an art school and having an amazing time. But, now he is getting dressed in a
tuxedo, preparing to be married. And, not love marriage, but arranged marriage.
Only her name, that's all he had been given. For all he knew she could have an extra toe or something!
Danny knew he had to get a move on so he hurriedly got ready and went out of the men's dressing room in the church.
He had to where a formal all black tuxedo with white from his under shirt. Once he emerged from the room his mother was waiting outside. She walked up to him and began fixing his tie. "Don't look so depressed." She sighed.
"Depressed? No, I'm not depressed, why would I be depressed? I'm only marrying a complete stranger just for the sake of appearances and throwing away my artist dream." He rambled. "This is a good thing, I promise, plus you and that Artist dream, it was crazy." His mother said with a final straighten of his tie. "Now, Smile!" She cheered as she pushed him towards the wedding doors.
Danny walked down the isle, seeing people smile and be happy. 'Are they insane?' He thought but kept quiet. He got to the end and stood by the preacher, awaiting his 'bride-to-be'. The doors opened once more, and the wedding march began. Everyone stood up and he turned his head to see her. She looked....beautiful? He couldn't exactly tell from the veil but she seemed pretty.

Slowly her veil was lifted, and she met his eyes, which were quite handsome. He was actually.. Date able for her if she wasn't getting married to him right now. She looked in the audience where their mothers sat talking away. Her best friends were next to her, holding bouquets.
his eyes widened slightly. 'She's pretty..' He thought. 'But still,' He regained his
attitude of unwillingness. Behind him was a couple of his friends and his best friend, Jack.

The preacher asked them to join hands, so Danny did as told and held her hand loosely.
After awhile of the preacher talking, he asked them the final question.
"Do you, Danielle White, take Natalie Kingson to be your wife?"
"I Do," Danny accepted, feeling his Father and Mothers icy stare.
Danny's voice was smooth and medium-low.

"Do you, Natalie Kingson, take Danielle White to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
Natalie looked at Danielle for a minute before solemnly nodding, and quietly answering, "I do."
"You may now kiss the bride." Natalie nearly froze. God, how was he going to kiss her? She'd forgotten about this part.
Everyone was watching, like this was the final 'proof of our love' thing, but it's not.
This wedding wasn't a happy day.
Danny sighed quietly and calmly leaned over, kissing her softly.
The crowd cheered and made noise as Danny stood up again, half smiling to the crowd.

They walked to the reception where they were fawned over by their parents. Natalie sighed as she took the parents mumblings and before she knew it they were dancing their first dance. She kept quiet and went it was over watched Danielle and his mother dance. Her mother's grip on her shoulder was un bearing.
All too fast, she was walking hand in hand with him out the church and into a limo. When the door shut she let out a breath. "I'm sorry my mother is making you do this. " she spoke quietly.
Danny dance with Natalie gracefully. He didn't really make eye contact too much, rather just looked around the room.
He'd spin her around, and it looked picture perfect, 'if only it was real,'He thought.
Danny danced with his mother calmly. She would mutter to him to keep smiling, and such.
Whilst other people danced he sat down, drinking punch. Jack put his hand on his shoulder.
"Hang in there man," He chimed. "Thanks man," Danny answered.
Jack always had his back, and would often encourage him. He was a true best friend.
They ran into the limo that people spray panted on the back window. 'Just Married'. He climbed into the limo as everyone cheered, threw rice, and waved. He loosened his tie and sighed. "It's fine, it's not just your mother." He commented, sighing.

The limo driver spoke up. "Congratulations on the wedding! Pretty exciting!" He commented.
Danny scratched his head "Aw,..thanks," He chuckled.

"Thanks." She smiled at the driver, and waved. "So.. um, what are we going to do when they start wanting grandkids, 'cause you know they're going to force us." She bit her lip. "I don't see why they're pushing us so hard. If we want to get married, we will. I mean, we're only teenagers still. Hardly adults." Natalie ran her hands through her hair again.
" I just don't see what the huge rush is." A million things must have been running through her head. "At least you're cuter than I thought you'd be. " She smirked, and chuckled.
"I'm not sure, I guess comply?" He spoke, not really thinking there was a right answer.
"Yeah...honestly I feel like my whole future was just tossed out the window, no offence," He added.
"I'm sure you feel the same." He said thinking about his art school.
Danny chuckled. "Well thanks, you're not so bad yourself." He smiled leaning back.

He closed his eyes and had his arm around her as he fell asleep. "Looks like you two are going to have a great marriage"
The Limo driver commented.

When she woke up, they were in L.A. just about to stop at the house. "Thank you.." She mumbled as she climbed out of the limo, in front of their new home.
"Danny.." She gasped. "How much did they spend?" She looked in awe at the obviously expensive house.
"whoa..." he commented. He got the luggage out of the bag and handed Natalie the house key.

She smiled as she walked in, holding the door open for her husband. "It's so... modern, and nice." She chuckled, and went upstairs, checking out the luxurious bedroom.
"I don't want to touch anything. It's all so clean... and sleek." She smiled.
"This place is amazing!" He said walking around the house in awe. "I could so live here," He chuckled.
He ran up stairs to check out the bed room.
He nearly had a heart attack seeing how luxurious everything was.
"You know, if I wasn't so mad at my mom because of the marriage, I would send her a real nice thank you card."
He laughed as he jumped on the bed.

"Loving someone huh.." He said softly, pondering the idea.

After his answer, she went downstairs, making herself a BLT sandwich, and him if he had wanted one. She sat at the rabble looking out the window. "I'm sure if he wants to leave, he can leave." To say she wasn't thinking about him from their snuggle session the way here would be a lie.
He chuckled in his head.
Danny jumped up and explored their house some. After a little bit he arrived at the kitchen.
"Thanks," He commented taking the sand which and sitting on the counter as he ate it. "This is really good!"
He commented as he munched into his food happily.
