Weddings and Holidays

Er, Amelia, you feeling okay there?

Amelia: Better than okay, Chronicler — I’m getting married today!
If you couldn’t tell, Amelia was very pleased with the way that her wedding day was turning out.
The guests were late to the ceremony, but that didn’t stop Amelia and Johnny from enjoying themselves.
Amelia: Johnny, I’m so happy I found you and I promise to love you forever and always, in this life and the next.
Johnny: I promise to only tell you the best puns and to always keep a smile on your face with all of my amazing jokes.
Afterwards, Amelia and Johnny enjoyed a nice dinner together at Amelia’s favorite Italian restaurant. Johnny always insisted that no restaurant’s cooking could ever live up to Amelia’s and she was happy to accept the compliment.
Time passed quickly, and eventually Britt aged up to a toddler. Due to their still limited funds, they were unable to afford to give him his own bedroom, but he had plenty of toys, all the necessities, and a whole lot of love to make his childhood a great one.
Party guests: Woo, happy birthday, Amelia!
Amelia: Here goes nothing, I guess.
Life progressed as life does. Amelia couldn’t believe how fast Britt was growing up. When he grew too big to continue sleeping in his toddler bed, Amelia splurged on a whole new bedroom for him. She and Johnny made it a point to spend as much time with him as possible, in between both of their careers. They put a special focus on helping him with his homework, as they were placing great importance on academics.
Johnny was an attentive and caring father, one of the many things that Amelia loved about him.

Johnny: You do know that we can hear you, right, Chronicler?

It’s not as if I was saying anything bad, Johnny. I love your love.

Johnny: Well, keep it quiet. I’ve only just gotten Britt to sleep. He keeps complaining about the 
monsters under his bed.
Since Britt was a great lover of dogs, Amelia let him adopt a pup of his very own. She trusted that Britt would take good care of their new family member. It would be good practice for when he took over the family legacy some day.

Britt: who’s the best puppy in all the world? Yes, you are, Molly.
Despite his busy schedule of caring for Molly, attending school and working on homework and projects, Britt also found time to join the Scouts. Amelia was happy that he was getting involved in the community and working to better himself.
Once Britt became a teenager, Amelia began to miss having a little one around the house. After a long discussion with Johnny, they decided to have another. Bella Zest-Alphabet was welcomed into the world.
Even Molly took part in the celebrations, singing along while the family decorated the tree.
Life was good and easy for a time. The Alphabets were living in a much nicer house than the plot of land Amelia had started out with and the future looked bright for both Britt and Bella. Of course, things can’t always stay the same and life isn’t always so simple.
