The week went by so quickly. Too quickly, in both of their opinions. They had had so much fun though. They got to take a bath together every night, and fall asleep holding each other. It was pure bliss. But, when Mary’s parents came home, as welcoming as they had been to Gray, he didn’t feel right just moving into their house. He wanted a place just for him and Mary.
One evening, when they were relaxing the library together, Mary had an epiphany. She sat up quickly. “Gray! I just thought of something! The upstairs part of the library!”
Gray looked puzzled. “What about it? There’s nothing there really.”
“Exactly!” Mary gripped him by the shoulders. “We could have it converted into an apartment, and we could live up there. There’s already a bathroom, and a room that would be perfect for a bedroom. We’d just have to add a shower in the bathroom and a kitchen.”
Gray nodded slowly, realizing that it would work. He kissed Mary happily.
The next day, they went to Gotz together to explain what they wanted. He was so happy for the young couple, that he actually agreed to do it at cost only, in exchange for Gray helping out on the project. Gray eagerly agreed. Between Mary and Gray, they had more than enough saved up to pay for the materials. Mary’s parents were also all for the idea, giving them their blessing.
Gray wasted no time in going to the Lake Mine and digging until he found a diamond. He returned to his grandfather’s shop, where he cut and polished it, then set it in a ring made out of silver. He took Mary to Mother’s Hill the night it was finished, and got down on one knee to ask her to marry him. She agreed, of course.
The whole town was so happy for them. Mary was quickly thrown into wedding planning, with the help of Elli, her grandmother Ellen, Claire, Karen, and Ann, and of course Mary’s own mother Anna. Anna was delighted for her daughter to be getting married, and she called for no expense to be spared (within reason, of course!)
It was rough for a little while, because between Gray’s blacksmith work (there was no way his grandfather would cut him any slack there,) and working on the apartment, Gray was exhausted by the end of the day. Mary was also quite mentally exhausted from planning the wedding, so often they would meet up at the library in the evening, only to fall asleep while talking. It was okay though, because they knew it would all be worth it.
Their wedding was set for early spring. On New Years Eve, Mary and Gray cuddled at Mother’s Hill, watching the fireworks in the far distance coming from Forget Me Not Valley.
“The apartment should be finished in three days,” Gray told Mary. “It looks so good up there! I can’t wait for you to see it!” Mary had decided to not see it at all until it was finished. “See, in the kitchen we…”
Mary covered her ears. “La la la, I can’t hear you! I want it to be a complete surprise…on our wedding day.” She blushed and kissed Gray. “I know it will be finished before the wedding, but let’s wait to move in until we’re married, okay? That will make it more special.”
Gray agreed. “So, how’s the wedding planning going?” He was happily leaving all the details to her and her “team.” “Has your mom started breathing fire yet?”
Mary nudged him in the ribs playfully. “Come on, she just lost her temper that one time.”
Gray laughed. “Yeah, but at Carter, of all people! Who yells at a priest?”
Mary rolled her eyes. “Don’t remind me. But, I’m trying not to blame my mom. She and Dad didn’t have a big wedding, and she’s trying to live it out through me. But it’s all right. She’s being really reasonable, and I think it’s going to be a big, spectacular event.” She squeezed him arm. “Can you survive ‘spectacular’?”
Gray nodded grimly. “Yeah, I’m nervous. Really nervous. But I could survive anything if it makes you happy.” Mary kissed him. Gray went on. “Oh yeah, I know this is a weird thing for me to worry about, but you know me…I worry. Anyway, I ran into Lillia and she asked who was going to do your flowers, seeing as Popuri is not here now. She usually does all the flowers for weddings, apparently. Is that going to be a problem?”
Mary looked up at him, grinning. “Oh, I have someone.”
“Who? Claire? Elli?” Gray asked.
“No, believe it or not - my dad! You know how he loves his plants. He jumped at the opportunity. Though, I know how he thinks all plants are equally beautiful - so be prepared for me to come down the aisle with a bouquet of weeds and blue grass!”
They shared a laugh over that, and then headed back home. Gray walked Mary to her house and kissed her goodnight. “Soon, we won’t have to say goodbye at night,” Gray whispered to her.
“I know…I can’t wait.”
